Cotton thread, until a abort time ago the most stable in price of all staples, selling the country over for five cents a spool, is to be advanced, again so that the retail price will be ten cents. On May 29 there was an . advance which brought the market price to six and seven cents. Cotton thread for domes­ tic use is manufactured almost exclu­ sively by the combine. Increased cost of raw material and an advance in wages are tbe reasons given for tbe con­ templated increase in price. Independ' ent manufacturers declare that neither of the reasons is good, for when cotton was selling much higher than it is now thread retailed for five cents. Richmond Gazette: ClarenoelToung, a brakeman on the southbound evening freight train which passes thru this vil­ lage, had a narrow escape from being killed Thursday evening of last week. Mr. Young was standing upright on the caboose as tbe train pulled out of this village, and no donbt had forgotten about the viaducts, at any rate he failed to lower his body when the train passed under tbe bridge and as a result re­ ceived a fearful blow on the head. The force of the blow knocked Mr. Yoting down, but fortunately he managed to grasp the railing on tbe caboose and saved himself from Tailing between tbe cars, which would undoubtedly have resulted in instant death. Mr. Young received several bruises about the head, but escaped without any serious inju­ ries, which under the circumstances is nothing short of miraculous. I will mail yqu free, to prove merit samples of my Dr. Shoop's Restorative, and my Book on either Dyspepsia, The Heart or The Kidneys. Troubles of tbe Stomach, Heart or Kidneys are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment. Don't make the common error of treating symptoms only. Symptom treatment is treating the result of your ailment, and not the cause. Weak stomach nerves --the inside nerves--mean stomach weakness, always. And the Heart and Kidneys as well have tbeir controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves and you inevitably have weak vital or­ gans. Here is where Dr. Shoop's Re­ storative has made its fame. No other remedy even claims to treat the "inside nerves." Also for bloating, biliousness, bad breath or complexion, use Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Write me today for sample and free book.

The Libertyville mile track, which has been the busiest spot in Lake coun­ ty for many weeks past, has lost most of its inhabitants and it will be another year till it picks up again. Last week a special train loaded with 108 grand circuit horses left to fill their engage­ ments at other tracks. The train was a Jong one and complete with all equine necessities as well as a Pullman coach for trainers and horsemen. In fact, it was considered such a notable event thai a number of views were taken by C. A. Beswick, the local photographer, which will be sent all over the country. It has been estimated that these horse­ men and the people connected with them have spent in the neighborhood of $10,000 in this village during the spring and summer and every business man in town has been more or less ben­ efited thereby.--Libertyville Independ­ ent.

The McHenry_ Brick Manufacturing company has just opened its second kiln of brick, and we can now truly say that they are second to no brick in the Northwest. They have the true ring, are a splendid rich color, and in short are as perfect as a brick can be made. This last kiln contained 180,060. The foot race on Saturday last drew out quite a crowd, especially the boys. In the first race there were five com­ petitors, the first money being won by Antony Barbian, the second by i Johnny Barbian, and the third by Leonard, of Crystal Lake.' The second race was between the two Barbian boys and Allen Walsh, and was easily won by Walsh. The match between Lew Holmes and Almon Granger was won by Grang­ er.- . ' Several agreeable entertainments are now being enjoyed by the family of Elder Wheeler, thru the politeness of guests who represent four nationalities. In the performance of music all are. in nnison in the English, supported as they are by the organ. Then each in turn, French, Swedish and German, chant, sepai ately, theif- verse, each to the amusement of tbe other, the medley being conolnded by the rehearsal of sen­ tences of Greek and Hebrew. The Limit of Life. The most eminent medical scientists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation of hnman life is many years below the' at­ tainment possible with the advanced knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period, that determines its duration, seems to be between 50 and 60; the proper care of the body between this decade cannot be too strongly nrged, carelessness then being fatal to longevity. Nature's best helper after 50 is Elefctric Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine that revital­ izes every organ of the body. Guaran­ teed by N. H. Petesch, F. Masquelet, IttcHenry; G.' W.
