Libertyville is confronted by what is thought by many to be a most serions calamity The flowing wells that fur­ nish the water supply are refusing to do their duty and do not flow enough water of their own accord to keep np the level of the supply tank at the pumping station. They have never been pumped successfully and when the air compressor is pnt on they pump sand and gravel. The village board is in- veetigating and will see what can lie done to remedy the difficulty. The water has been flowing into the tank about eight feet above the ground and it is possible that the bead level of the wells may have to be reduced. Nunda Herald: Highway Commis­ sioners Powers, Thompson and Welch of Nunda township met at the Nunda village hall Wednesday afternoon and awarded-the contract for a new bridge to the Continental Bridge Co. of Chica­ go. The bridge will be of reinforced concrete, and will he bnilt near the Will Wingate place, across the raceway of the old Barreville mill pond. Taking into consideration the fact that the Continental company bad prepared plauB and specifications and are in po­ sition to handle the work expeditiously, the job was let to them, altho souie of the bids were a little lower.

According to a Kenosha telegram to The Chicago Record-Herald "all roads used by automobiles in Illinois, Wiscon­ sin and other states of the middle West are to be fitted with signboards at the expense of Thomas B. Jeffery, the auto­ mobile manufacturer of Kenosha, and he has given contracts for the making of the signs to be used in this manner. It is the plan of Jeffery to extend this service to every part of the country where automobiles are in use, and it is said that the total cost will be in the neighborhood of $35,000. The signs are to be of an attractive pattern and are to give direction as well as mileage between the larger cities along the roads and the laws in regard to the speed at which cars may be driven in the differ­ ent villages. Signs will also be put up to warn the auto drivers of dangerous placeH in the roadway. Thousands of the signs are now being paiuted and they will be shipped to the ageuts of Jeffery during the next two weeks. The Sheridan road will be the first of the roads equipped with the signs, but sev­ eral of them have already beeu put up on the roads leading from Kenosha to Milwaukee." Miss Ella A. Brown, eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. V. Brown, died last Tuesday morning as a result of burns received the day before. She was em­ ployed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Clancy when the horrible accident oc­ curred. She had filled the tank of the gasoline stove and a little of the gaso­ line evidently had been spilled on the floor. When she lighted the stove the gasoline on the floor caught fire. With the Alden fire fresh in her memory she attempted to smother the flames with her apron, but the apron caught fire. Now thoroly frightened, the young lady ran screaming thru the house and out into the yard, her clothing a mass of flames. Her screams attracted the at­ tention of Mr. Clancy, who was at a neighbor's. He hurried home and suc­ ceeded in smothering the flames with a horse blanket, but not until practically all her clothing had been burned from the body and the unfortunate victim had been fatally burned. The young lady's parents were hastily summoned from Alden, and Drs. Bailey and Her- rick were called from this village. Ev­ erything possible was done to alleviate the suffering and save the life of the victim, but it soon became evident that the injuries would prove fatal. The ac­ cident happened about noon on Monday and at 4 o'clock the following morning deatli came to relieve the sufferer. He bron Tribune.

It is especially desirable that all pli- pils shall be prompt ih entering on the first day of school. Time lost at the be­ ginning of the year is very difficult to rnakti up, ami often means failure for the year. The course of stnily as now arranged does not provide for mere "marking time" during any part of the year. Our coarse *S now outlined is accspt- ed by the State university and, hence, by the other colleges in the state as complete preparation for the higher schools. This means one year saved to those pupils who may wish to continue school work. It is our desire to specially strengthen all the work in languages and mathe­ matics thruout the school this year, and the principle that "we learn' to do by doing" is made the basts of this effort. The class iu business practice and bookkeeping will begin October 8, aud is open to such pupils of the high school and grammar grades as shall have dem onst rated their ability to carry the ad ditiontl work. Arrangements are made for two assistants in the work this year. Miss Hattie W^stlake, au experienced etenographer and business college grad­ uate, will have charge of a class in shorthand aud assist with the typewrit­ ing. Persons outside of school wishing to enter this evening class may arrange with the priucipal to do so. The tuition rates in the high school have been raised to $3.00 a month, re­ maining the same for the other grades tts last year. The tuition is payable monthly iu advance to the principal. i hildren who will be six years of age before the close of the school year will be admitted nowr if desired, as it will not be practicable to start a beginning class at any other time. The teachers for the year will be as follows: Room 1--let and 2nd gradeB, Miss Jones; Room 2 -8rdand 4th gradeB, Mrs. Overton; Room 8--5th and 6th grades, Miss Grier; Room 4--7th and 8th grades, Miss Herely; Room 5-- high school, Miss Perry; Room « high school and principal, Mr. Rice.

Next week Monday, August M, Mc­ Henry county's fifty-fonrth annual ex­ hibition will open to the public. The inquirien for programs, j-reminm lists and entry blanks, the unusual number of entries already made and the numer­ ous application** for privilege spaces on the grounds iudicate a greater interest in the faif than ever before. Monday is entry, or preparation day. Tuesday is automobile day. The auto­ mobile parades, races and maneuvers promise to be of greater interest than ever before, and will lie under the super­ vision of the McHenry County Automo­ bile club Tuesday is also children's day, on which day all the school chil­ dren will be admitted free. Wednesday is athletic day. Wednes­ day is also visiting day, or county pic­ nic day. The best day for viewing the exhibits in the various departments, also for meeting old friends, and for family reunions Thursday is the big day or jubilee day, when the crowds gather from all points to celebrate McHenry county's annual holiday. Friday is parade day. On this day occurs the grand cavalcade of premium stock. Friday is always a day of special interest to lovers of speed events. The speed premiums have been materially increased, and Superintendent Wright promises an unusually attractive pro­ gram. The program of special free attrac­ tions is more elaborate than ever be­ fore provided, and a rare treat is in store for those who will witness them. Certainly no one should miss these at­ tractions as the acrobats will give their exhibitions free to all, on the platform in front of the grandstand, every after­ noon during the fair. The famous troupe of eight Bedouin Arabs, known as the "Whirlwinds of the Desert," are noted for strength and activity in their pyramid building and rapid whirling. The Otora Japanese troupe is one of the very best troupes of novelty acro­ bats on either continent. They have beautiful wardrobes and perform many marvelous feats. Holloway, the noted chin balancer and juggler, will perform some wonder­ ful feats of strength and skill. Not the least among the special con­ cessions will be the attractions offered by. the cage of trained lions in their moat original animal act The music to be furnished on the sev­ eral days will be all that could be de­ sired, the Boys' Martial baud of Chicago furnishing the music for Tuesday. This juvenile band is splendidly equipped and well traiued. The Harvard band has in charge the music for Wednes­ day and Thursday, and this fact insures the success of the music for those days. On Friday the St. Charles band will provide the music. These boys have an excellent reputation, and all should make it a point to hear them. An effort has been made to provide an improvement in the dining hall in way of larger accommodations and bet­ ter service. ' Improvements are being made in all departuients and the man­ agement ia doing all that is possible to make the fair of 1907 the most success­ ful in the history of McHenry oonnty.

Before a crowd of 1500 fans last Sunday he shut out the fast Wisconsin Giants by a score of 7 to 0, Besides shutting them out he held the Wisconsin bunch of sluggers to three tiny hita.

A SEVEftE STORM IMMtory iM VMUVMly Friday Moralac. One of the most severe electrical as well as wind storms that has passed thru McHenry in many years visited us early last Friday] morning, and long before the sun arose that morning thou­ sands of dollars' worth of damage had been done. The storm came np at 13:80 o'clock Friday morning and for about an hour the wind and rain were something fero­ cious. The storm was vary much on the cjclone order, coming from the southwest, and swept everything that iay in its path. Maun brothers, who reside on the Woodstock road, were undoubtedly the heaviest losers. Their barn stood right in the direct way of the heavy wind, and as a result it now lies a total wreck. No less than one hundred trees, some three and one-half feet in circumfrenoe, were pulled up by the roots and thrown across the public highway, making the road impassable. It was Several hoftrs after daylight be­ fore they were cleared away. The grain in the fields was strewn in every direction. The Mann Bros.' loss is esti­ mated at no lees than $5000. At C. C. Colby's and Jos. Jnsten's farms the damage to fences, barley and trees was quite severe, altho no build­ ings were damaged. Continuing northeasterly the wind struck the brick smoke-stack of the Johnsburgh creamery and felled it to the ground. In falling it struck and crushed one wall of the new building. The fields that lay in the path of the storm were in most instances stripped of their crops. Another heavy loser as a (titbit of the storm was John M. Smith, who resides about half a mile north of Johnsburgh. His barn was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, together with its entire contents. Luckily, the horses and cows were not in [he barn, altho one calf and five pigs were killed. Many of the cottages along the river and at the Bay were given quite a severe shaking bnt none of them were carried away. J Look lor GilbertBrofe.' ad,on ftnotber page- big bargains in groceries.

This can be done with little trouble and expense. 4--The out-buildingB should not be overlooked. 1 am sorry to say that many of the out-buildings of the schools of McHenry county contain enough of the suggestive type of vulgarity to off­ set a large percentage of the moral training and teaching accomplished by the best of the teachers. See that all such things are removed and that the teacher is held responsible for any re­ appearances of the same. 5--If you have not been the habit of having your school begin during the first week of September and kept in session for nine months, please do so this year and thus assist us in unifying the school work of the county.
