Holcomb, Former Klngwood Kealdent REV. SAMUEL EARNQEY. Ptwldlni Elder of Rocbfenl District Ii ft£ Store,.' Harvard Herald: Rev. Samuel Earn- gey died early Tuesday morning at hi* home at Rook ford of diabetes, with which he bad been afflicted for two years. His death, however, was unex­ pected until last Sunday, when he was taken very ill while officiating as pastor of his church, the Winnebago street Methodist, at Rock ford. On his way to the church he told his wife it would be his last sermon and during its delivery he was obliged to cut short the service, but walked home in the company of his wife. He was suddenly taken worse and sank into a state of coma, from which he did not reoover nor regain consciousness. Decedent was a native of Ireland, and would be 63 years old next July. In 1872 he entered the Ministry in Illinois, joining the Rock River conference, and from that time until his death was one of the most forceful and effective clergy­ men in the Methodist denomination in northern Illinois, where he was well known, for he served both as pastor at many places and for she years was pre­ siding elder of the Rockford district. Richmond, W oodatock and Hebron were places where he occupied pulpits in his early days in the ministry. £<ater he Berved in churches at Elgin, Aurora, Rockford, Belvidere and other places of likeclass:.- For two years he had been aware of the presence of diabetes, but said very little of his ailment, prefering to "die in the harness," as be expressed it. When he retired from the presiding eldership of the Rockford district a year ago laat fall he was advised by physicians to take life easier, but he had led an active life and couid not bring himself to tbe thought of not being at work, the pro­ fession he had chosen being jso near to his heart that he continued in the min­ istry almost to the hour when death called him. Granitt, Ark., May If, Editor Plaindealer, McHenry, 111., I have just received a copy of The Plaindealer containing the obituary of my aunt, Mrs. L. C. Gates, which brought back to memory my boyhood days which were spent at Ring wood and McHenry, having attended school under the tutorship of William Nickle. I have lived on my farm in this country for thirty-two years. Made a flying trip to McHenry by the overland process some fifteen years ago, remaining in your village seven months. This country has made rapid strides in development during the last ten years. A few years ago this country was wild, deer and wild turkey roam­ ing at will, but now it is one vast ex­ panse of apple and peach orchards and strawberry fields. There is one field of strawberries that produced one car load of strawberries every other day last week and nearly aa much this week. This field is owned by Mr. Plank of Decatur, Ark. If this escapes the waste basket I will write again,, mora fully describing char acteristics, politics, religion, climate and people. With kind remembrance, I am yours truly, E. L. HOLCOMB.

Tickets," 50c. J, W BONSLETT, Prop. Fined $200.00. Liberty ville Independent: Joeeph Amann and Edward Brown, both of Round Lake, were Friday, on complaint of the state, fined $200 in the connty court for selling liquor without a license in the vicinity of Round Lake, both plaintiffs paid their fines and left im­ mediately for their homes in the coun­ try. This is the first instance in some time where a resident of the county had been caught in the act of selling booze without a license. The plea pnt up by both men was something pitifnl, inas­ much as there was nothing to their de­ fense. They were given the usual warning following the payment of the fines imposed. A Californian's Luck. "The luckiest day of my life was when I boilght a box of Bucklen's Ar­ nica Salve;" writes Charles-F. Bndahn, of Tracy, California. Two 25c. boxes cured me of an annoying case of itching piles, which had troubled me for years and that yielded to no other treatment." Sold under guarantee at N. H. Petesch's drag store.

The World's Best Climate is not entirely free from disease, on the high elevations fevers prevail, while on the lower levels malaria is encountered to a greater or less extent, according to altitude. To overcome climate affections, lassitude, malaria, jaundice, biliousness, fever and ague, and general debility, the most effective remedy is Electric Bitters, the great alterative and blood purifier; the antidote for every form of bodily weakness, nervousness, and in somnia.

It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood-- that is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are wea"k or out of order, you can understand how quickly your entire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, !Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. If you are sick yon can make no mis­ take by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr, Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases, and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle Home oi ew&mp-Root. by snail free, also a pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have, kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- hamioTi, N. Y. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad; dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. Items Clipped from The Plaindealer ot May 16, 1888. Joeeph N. Frennd had a fine two year old colt killed by lightning last week. Died.--At tbe home of his daughter, Mrs. Caffrey, May 7th, 1883, Mr. Simon Parker, aged 91 years. How easy it is for the saloons to close up at 9:45 p. m. and open again about 10:80 o'cloek the same night--but they would not do such a thing nnder any circumstances. Of course not. Fishermen have been having rare sport here the past week. The banks of tbe creek below the mill dam have been lined with men and boys from morning until night, and some dayB as high as twelve or fifteen hundred have been taken out. Mr. Howell, who is stopping at the Riverside House, in this village, is the "boss" fisherman so far this season. He caught one day last week, in tbe creek below the Mill Dam, over two hundred silver cass. They were tbe finest storing of fish we have seen for many a day. He will accept our thanks for a good mess of the same. The McHenry Brick company, it appears, is not to have the monopoly of brick manufactures in this village, as it seems an entirely new process has been inaugurated right in their yard. A hen belonging to E. Lawlus has been missing for the past three or four weeks and was discovered a few days since indus­ triously setting, without an egg, on top of thekiln. How many brick she suc­ ceeded in hatching ont or what their quality will be remains to be seen. Ike says she is a motherly old biddy and acts as if every brick was a chick of her own hatching. Bonnty on Woedehneln. Up to Tuesday of last week. May 4, County Treasurer McConnell at Wood­ stock paid out for the five months pre­ ceding, or since the 1st of December, the sum of |285.80 as bounty for killing of woodchucks and crows in McHenry county. Of this sum $21.20 was paid out on one day--last week Tuesday. The board of supervisors set aside a fund of $3,500 to be used for this purpose and it is likely to be entirely consumed before tbe ettd of tbe year. - Valued Same aa Gold. B. G. Stewart, a merchant of Cedar View, Miss., says: "I tell my customers when they buy a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills they get the worth of that much gold in weight, if afflicted with constipation, malaria or biHonsnewi."
