Chtaapt Bnaltr Ia C»dm For fcdtaMBt at Fox Lake. There was in exciting time at Fox Itftke ftut Sunday when a Chicago phy­ sician fell into the lak» twice while duck hunting, being rescued the first time by another party of hunters, and saving himself the second time. Later he engaged in a pitched battle with Game Warden Bingham and was pushed into the lake a third time by that offic­ ial. In the course of the battle Bing­ ham fired his gun twice, presumably at th^ doctor, and also lost his revolver in the lake. Latest reports Sunday night say that there were a number of persons at the scene of the conflict endeavoring fco locate the warden'» revolver by fisuing for it. The doctor had gone to the lake to hunt, and among the places he visited was the "bum boat" of Scotty. a well- known character. It is said he loaded np on some of the stuff that Scotty sells, and when be left the place he was un­ able to handle himself in his boat As he was pushing thru the reeds toward the Mineola hotel he is said to have lost hie balance, and be fell into the water. Other hunters rescued him and he started again on his way. He had proceeded but a short distance when he fell in again, but managed to get out by himself. Arrived at the Mineola he got into a dispute with Bingham, who took bis push pole away from him. The doctor protested and demanded the re­ turn of his push pole, but Birfgham is said to have refused. The doctor then took one of Bingham's boats and this started a bad wrangle between the men. Bingham is said to have levelled his gun at the doctor and let go two charg­ es, neither of which took effect. Then the men came together, and in the end the doctor was pushed off the pier into the lake, making his third bath for the afternoon. He got out easily a* the water there is not deep. In the wran­ gle Bingham's revolver dropped into the lake. The whole affair caused great excite­ ment at the lake, and the reported ac tion of the game warden is such thst, if proven to the state game warden, will most probaMy cause the warden no small amount of trouble, and possibly result in a request for his resignation. NOT TO REMARRY DIVORCEES. Methodlat Cltrn Hind ThcmMlrm Not to Remarry Dlvorceea. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES. AND Methodist Episcopal ministers of the Rock River conference struck a direct blow at divorce and the remarriage of divorced persons by resolutions adopted at a session of the conference k Tht. resolutions pledge the ministers to work for nniform divorce laws to protect marriage, and bind them not to solemnize the marriage of divorcees ex­ cept in the case of the innocent party in a divorce granted on the grounds of un­ faithfulness. The reeolutions, which were passed by almost unanimous vote, are as fol­ lows: "We repudiate the idea that true mar riages can be an experiment in conjugal compatibility, a contract which may be dissolved at the whim or pleasure of either contracting parties or both of them, or any other thing less than a ooveoant for life, attested and validated by divine sanctions. 'We believe that there can be no in­ fraction of the marriase vow or disrup­ tion of the marriage bond, otherwise than by death, without sin. 'Hence, while the protection of an inn:xwnt and faithful party to the mar­ riage covenant may call for legal release from an odious union with au unfaith­ ful and guilty partner or the compul­ sion* of decency may demand a legal separation, where both the man and the woman have broken the vow and the oovenant between them made, yet the state in the legal consummation of a divorce and the church in either the recognition or the denial of its mora) validity should seek ends of the same character which are sought in the con­ summation of marriage and the recog­ nition and maintenance of its sanctity. "The only true and rational justifica­ tion of divoroe must be found in an ef­ fort to deal with the sin of an already disrupted marriage bond, and the conse­ quences of that sin, in such a way as to uphold and perpetuate the obligations of the marriage covenant and conserve the pure and holy purposes Bought by that covenant and under tbat covenant. 'Divorce should be so limited and guarded as never to open a convenient path to a future unholy alliance. "Therefore, as citizens we will co-op­ erate with those who endeavor to se­ cure thruout the states of our American Union uniform laws for the attainment of these laws for the attainment of theee ends." » To check a cold quickly get from your druggist some little Candy Cold Tablets called Preventics.

Harvard Herald: Considerable an­ noyance ia caused at the postofiice thru people misunderstanding the new law concerning special delivery mail. It. is necessary to write or print the words "special delivery," as well as to affix 10 cents in stanps in addition to the regu­ lar postage. Unless "special delivery * is written or printed on the letter or package it will be handled as ordinary mail, no matter how many stamps it bears. Several hundfed dollars'have beep taken from residents of Elgin, Dundee and vicinity by a professional swindler, who has appeared there in the capacity of physician and arranged to give home treatment. The man worked in that neighborhood, unsuspected, during the latter part of August and September, but suspicion began to rest so heavily upon him that he has fled and his where­ abouts are unirnown. The man gave his name to be Dr. C. W. Flouers of Janesville, Wis., and stated that, he was working in connection with a hospital at that place. It is thought, however, that he has been working the same scheme for some time in other parts of the country. The man is a good talker and easily convinces his patients of his sincerity. The methods of the man are exceptionally beguiling, and in present­ ing them he has been so successful that entire neighborhoods have been bun coed. "Dr. Flouers" would appear at a home and say that he had been asked to call there, with the understanding that some member of the family needed medical treatment. He would agree to giv^ home treatment or send them to a hospital in Janesville, Wis. The man would leave a quautity of medicine and promise to call within thirty days, and for the course of treatment he would charge $34. Part of thiB amount was always payable in advance. Nothing would ever be seen of the man after he had secured a part payment. He is about GO years old, has white hair and has a good appearance. School Notes.

Beal 1MS been re­ tained for the McHenry and Ringwood Methodist Episcopal churches for the coming year. The news of his retainment waa hailed with delight by the parishioners of the two churches, where the worthy pas­ tor's eerrices have been invaluable dur­ ing the years he has handled the affairs committed to bis care.

The writer, while making a drive to Spring Grove last Monday, waa most agreeably impressed with the prosper­ ous condition in which he found the tillers of the soil. The careful observer's first surprise came soon after he had passed the vil­ lage limits. The first great treat tbat caught his eye was the beautiful new home of Stephen H. Freund. The home, modern in every detail, with a well- kept lawn and cement walks, revealed the prosperous condition of its owner. Passing onward improvement after im­ provement was noticeable from the thorofare. The well kept fields, the large, com­ modious out buildings, the modern ma­ chinery, the beautiful homes with every city convenience, plainly communicated to the writer that the farmer can be un­ hesitatingly termed the "prince of man­ kind. " With every piece of up-to-date machinery at his command and with that feeling of independence that is bis right, be is the happiest man on the faoe of the earth. MRS. BENJ. TUNSTALL PASSES AWAY IN EIGHTY-EIGHTH YEAR. Was Born at Kidderminster, Worceater- ahire, England, February 23, 1819-- Hiram Bryant Paaaea Away Recently. Mrs Benjamin Tunstall was born on February 22, 1819, at Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England, and died at McHenry, 111., U. S. A , On October 7, 1907, aged 88 years, 7 months and lft daye. Mrs. Tuns tail's maiden name was Eliza Hoopoi. She was united in mar­ riage to Benjamin Tunstall at the place of her birth. He preceded her in death saves;teen years. This union was blessed with four children, thrfee sons aud a daughter; they are: William and Georire of Philadelphia, Penn., Albert of Wor­ cester, Mass., and Mrs. Eiiza Reynolds of McHenry, Illinois. She wad a mother, indeed, of a noble spirit and of great sweetness, and cher­ ished the best thoughts and wishes. for her family Htad all who came within the circle of her friendship. She shared in a large degree that noble quality to live for others thru the greater portion of her life. The Bible was her constant guide and her source of joy and comfort to her last moments. Mrs. Tunstall was a member of the Christadelphians. The scriptural pass­ ages, Job xix, 25 29; Romans xiv, 7-12; II Corinthians v, 10; I Corinthians xv, 12-28, 85-57; and 11 Timothy iv, 7-8, read at her obsequies, were the Biblical ex­ pressions of her faith. In her last and long illness of Reclining life she was patient, resigned to God 's will, prayed and longed to depart and be at rest. Mrs, Tunstall, soon after her hus­ band 's death, came to this country, in company with her daughter, Mrs. Ste­ phen Reynolds, and family, with whom she has ever since lived.

CARD OP THANKS. • We wish thru these columns to thank the many kind friends and neighbors for their assistance,,during our recent sad bereavement. ' MR. AND MRS S. REYNOLD®. HIRAM BRYANT Hiram Bryant, father of Mrs. John Evanaon of this village, and an old res­ ident of this vicinity, died at the Sol­ diers' Home at Danville last Friday, Mr. Bryant was born in New Hauip- ahireon April 25, 1831, and when fifteen years of age moved to Illinois and set­ tled on a farm near Nunda. He enlist­ ed and fought thru the Civil war. About thirteen years ago be moved to Elgin and located at 739 Orange street, where, he resided before going to the Soldiers' Home. Mr. Bryant was twice married and is survived by a widow and six children by his first wife. He served in the Nine­ ty-fifth Illinois regiment in the Civil war, and was a member of Nunda poet G. A. R. The funeral was held last Tnesday at 3 o'clock, p. m., under the auspices of the G. A. R. at N unda. FOX LAKE BOA&D WINS. Judge Donnelly DIMOITM the Temporary Injunction Afalnat Village Board. The village board of Fox Lake secured a sweeping victory in circuit court Wed­ nesday afternoon of last week when Judge Donnelly dissolved the tempo­ rary injunction which had been issued against the board some time ago on com plaint of Converse Marble, et al. And the board members were given to November 4 to file suggestions as to the amount of damages they are entitled to on account of .the injunction having fallen thru. The law is, that when an injunction is obtained even temporarily against a person, that the defendant has just cause for damages if the court dis­ solves it, thus showing that there WaB no cause for. the original injunction's being issued. In other words, as a result of the court's ruling, a big fight for damages is sure to result, with the members of the village board arrayed on one side and Marble and his friends on the other. The board members claim defamation of character by Marble's action and the individual members have said they will surely prosecute the complainants to the limit for their action. The dissolution of the injunction brought out a most interesting develop­ ment of facts. The Marble faction, thrn Orvis and Edwards, sought to show that their declaration was correct in the reference to the secrecy of the meetings, the inaccuracy of the records, etc. The other side, however, the village board, brought the village records into court to prove their claims that the rec­ ords were oorrect in, every way, or, at least as near as could bp for any village. The Marble faction then advanced the claim that the records were written up merely for the purpose of defending the board in the injunction case. Thereupon Jud^ Donnelly showed his ability as a writing expert. He took the records and examined thtan careful­ ly, stating afterwards that the records were written up following each meet­ ing of the board and that a different pen and different ink were need at dif­ ferent bhuuiufc, it, 'liin mind, that the records were not prepared for this special case. He said that he thought that it was his opinion that the records were all right, in that they showed that they had been written up regularly and not for any particular occasion, as the other side contended. This wa« one of the most important points in the whole controversy. Another important point was that the defense showed that the ordinance which had caused the whole trouble-- the one providing for |he issuance of $10,000 worth of bonds for erecting a village hall--had been repealed and that the real act had taken place before the action for an injunction had been start­ ed by Marble et al. This point knocked out the prope of the complainants' case and it rt&i not long thereafter that the court said he would have to dissolve the injunction. Ben Miller of Waukegan and James Beeks of Fox Lake represented the vil­ lage board, while Orvis and Edwards and Maguffin appeared for Marble.
