In honor of her sixteenth birthday anniversary Miss Anna Heimer enter­ tained a company of jolly young people at her home last Wednesday evening.

High. Fruit dealers who snpply the local arket this year have had a difficult time In catering to the wants of their patrons. Their trouble has all been due to continued shortage in the various staple articles. First it was the lemons, then the various berries and cherries, and down the line to peaches. Advices received now by the commission men ate that the crop of winter apples is extremely short, and that prices will go soaring as soon as the present fall vari­ eties are off the market. Predictions are that apples will go to $5 a barrel this winter. This will be at least $1 more than the usual price. The winter apples have been a practical failure in the middle west. There baa been a good yield in Now England, New York, Arkansas and on the Pacific coast; but that does not help the local situation to any extent. At the Central Theater.

Regarding the practice and the best time to do it. Dr. E. A. Egad, secretary of the Illinois state board of health, offers some • time­ ly advice: "For years past the state board of health advised municipalities to enact and enforce ordinances prohib­ iting the burniug of leaves in the even­ ing or night time. The burning of all leaves shonld be prohibited except on clear days when the atmospheric pres­ sure is least. Then the smoke will rim and be readily dissipated in the air. If leaves are burned at night or on'damp days the smoke mil rise slowly and will prove no*- only ai^pnnoyance, bnt pos­ sibly a decided menace to health. A smoky atmosphere, especially in the night time, tends to produce a general lowering of the vital resistance, of chil­ dren especially. The smoke irritates the throat and thus increases the sus­ ceptibility of diphtheria, scarlet fever and other diseases." Co® Marble, the man who precipitat­ ed the trouble for the Fox Lake board, and tried to enjoin them in the various actions, has thrown np the sponge for good. In other words, Mr. Marble has taken; the full count of ten and is will­ ing to qnit for keeps. Why is it? Not because he likes to do it, bnt because he admits he is de­ feated, and that a continuation of the scrap, which has grown into a vest heated strife in the village, costs him too mnch money. Mr. Marble argnes thus wise: "Whv shonld 1 further fight myself? Was I not licked in the court*)? Did they not refuse to enjoin the board? Now, then, if I keep up this matter I cm fighting utyself, for am I not next; to the tergeftt property owner in the Fox Lake dis­ trict? If the village is put to an ex­ pense fighting me am I not fighting my­ self? Snrely I am. and therefore I've qnit. I own four hotels ha the village aud if my continuation of hostilities brings ruination to bnsiness in the vil­ lage won't I be the sufferer rather than somebody else? Surely I will--there­ fore I qnit. I have done a number of things, however, in this fight; among thetu, getting new records, etc., and I am satisfied, for if I had won the caw I wonld have had to pay the expenses, and as I lost I had to stand them any­ way. So no matter wbieh way it went it came out to me, and in that way I h-tve had my money's worth. But I gnees it will he dropped now for I re­ fuse to further fight myself." In other words it's a case of heads I win. tails you lose with Marble and he has concluded after careful figuring to let matters rest where they are. Chicken Thleyea Again. On Wednesday morning a West Side resident called the editor 's attention to the fact that chickeu thieves are again reaping a harvest in that end of town. The informant told ns that some time during Sunday night eight exceptional­ ly large Bpriug chickens were stolen from a coop only a few feet from the home. The deed is supposed to have been committed by a local sneak thief who has dnring the past few years made a practice of stealing chickens, fruits, wood, corn or anything that he has been able to get his sneaking fingers onto. The person is a familiar figure on our streets and a close watch is being kept on him. 0 In A<1 Judged Insane. < John Blake of this village was taken to WoodBtock last Tuesday afternoon, where, beiore Judge D T. Smiley aud a jury, he WHS adjudged of unsound mind. Mr. Make, since the death of his Wife which occurred several years ago, has shown signs of a weakened mind. His mental condition continued to grow steadily worse and it was decided last week by his relatives to have him re­ moved to Elgin. It is hoped by the many friends of the Blake family that the affliction is not a permanent one, as Mr. Blake aud his family have always been held in the highest esteem by all who knew them.

Wright, superintendent of speed, was unable to be present to make a re­ port of his department. Next in order was the election of ott cers, and the following officers were unanimously re-elected: President, Wr Desmond; vice president, M. Zimple- manu; secretary, Geo. A. Hunt; trees urer, Fremont Hoy; general superin­ tendent, C. F. Dike. On motion of Theodore Hamer the1 president appointed Fremont Hoy, J. H. Turner and Theo. Hamer as a com­ mittee to place in nomination an execu­ tive committee consisting of one mem­ ber from each township. The commit­ tee's report, which was unanimously adopted, is as follows: Chemung, H. C. LaBrec; Dunham, Geo. A. Gay; Ma­ rengo. C. A. Dunham; Riley, C. W. Col- ton; Alden, W. D.

Thompson and others ^in regard to changing the date of the fair, it was voted to recom­ mend to the executive committee that the fair be changed to a later date, and that the secretary correspond with oth­ er fairs relative to making a desirable circuit for exhibitors. Treasurer Hoy gave some figures which showed the wisdom of changing the price of general admission from 35 to .10 cents, and also gave a short history of the way in which the increased ap­ propriation of an amount equal to 40 per cent of premiums paid by the fairs of the state, exclusive of speed, was se­ cured, McHenry County Agricultural board having taken the initiative in this movement. After some discussion the matter of publishing the premium awards was re­ ferred to the executive committee. Mr. Hunt brought up the subject of good roads and stated that he thought the road laws were at fault for the lack ot system in road making and main­ taining, and gave his ideas as to the solution of the problem. Mr. Long and Mr. Hoy also made good talks en the qusetion of hard roads. On motion of Mr. Hunt the president appointed a committee of three, consisting of M. Long, Fremont Hoy and Geo. A. Hunt, to prepare resolution* to be presented at the meeting of the executive commit­ tee of the fair, also at the meeting of the County Farmers' Institute. There being no further business the meeting adjougged. SECRETARY'S REPORT--1907. INCOME. Cash recpts reportd by treas $7491 39 Revenue Uncollected. Athletic club rental $ 15 00 Y. M C.
