After unloading tbe horses at the mile track, tbe distinguished visitor left on horse back for Long leland. Dr. James A. Ratiedge Of Elgin was endorsed by this Illinois state~ camp of tbe Modern Woodmen of America for a place on the board of directors of the bead camp of the order, after one of the hardest battles ever fought in a con­ vention of any fraternal order in this state. General Manager Faber of tbe Aurora, Elgin and Chicago Railway company has secured an appropriation of $80,000 for the new electrie power substation to be located in Elgin. Tbe improved and modern appliances which will be in­ stalled should give the patrons ideal electric service. "I don't want a member of this oon gregation to give to foreign missions," said a Hawville preacher tbe other day, "if he owes tbe butcher, tbe bsk«r, the grocer or the printer, a bill. Pay your debts you owe at home before y6u pay debts you owe to the heathen." The collection was light* The Modern Woodmen of America had almost $4,000,000 on hand at the April meeting of the board of direotors and decided to omit tbe May assessment and the July assessment as well, since the triennial meeting of the head camp oomee in June. This assures not more than nine assessments during the! year, as one bad already been skipped. Tbe Grayslake Times, which was founded by G. W.

Woodstock Sentinel: We understand that Jam eg Conuell, son of Mike Con- nell, who wilt be tried at tbe May term of court for tbe murder of the Italian, Brunetti, will spend every cent he liss in the defense of his son. It is hard to conjecture just what the defense will be, except that the boy a well de­ veloped product of South Halsted street slums. The probabilities 'are the boy will get a lengthy term of years, bnt considering his youth he will even after that have plenty of time to "make good," if he will. A young man was out driving the other evening with his best girl. Tbe conversation turned to fortune telling and be asked ber If she believed in palmistry. She said she thought she could foretell more pleasure if she saw the lines in one of bis hands. The yonug man was slow to comprehend ber mean­ ing and sat with bowed head and wrinkle brow until at least two miles bad been traversed, when a great light broke in upon him and an expansive smile Illuminated bis features. He took the liuee in one hand and grasppd the situation. Somebody will run off with that fellow if be isn't very careful. Woodstock Sentinel: John .Sorenspn, a Dane, who has been employed by var­ ious farmers near here and Harvard for several years past, was found dead in an alley in that city last Sunday morning. No marks of violence were found on the body and a careful inventlgation has aatisbed tbe authorities at Harvard that there has beeu no foul play in connec tion with Sorenson's death. The de ceased was in Woodstock Saturday to attend to some business matter, but it seeing that he spent considerable of bis time "tanking up." At 6 o'clock he was at tbe Woodstock postoffice, mak­ ing inquiry of Assistaot Postmaster Deitz concerning the loss of a money order, but be was not in.a condition to srive a coherent explanation of the affair. After that he must have gone to Harvard on one of tbe evening trains, because the investigation shows thai he was ejected from a saloon there at the u.mal closing time that night.

She was at­ tended by Miss Eva Degen, sister of the briile, and Miss Maggie Blake, sister of the groom. Tbe bridesmaids wore gowns of cream colored" pongee aud carried pink carnations.

Seventeen members of tbe local oonn- cil of Knights of Columbus went to Elgin last Sunday morniug to witness the exemplification of tbe first, second and third degrees upon a class number­ ing over sixty. Tbe event was attended by over seven hundred Knights, who came from many cities and villages tbruout the northern part of the state. Tbe degree work was unusually good, especially that of tbe third, which was put on by Hon. George E. Clark, of South Bend, Ind., prosecuting attorney of tbe state of Indiana. A gorgeous banquet followed the degree work, the LOCAL SUMMER RESORTS AWAIT OPEhflNQ 0F SEA80tk Motels Mere Along the River, at Platakee , Bay and Fox Laha ate Ready Bar Sum­ mer Business. . The arrival of sunshine and warmth has cast a very pleasing smile upon the countenances of the hotel keepers here, along the river, Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake, and all are anxiously awaiting the opening of the summer season. Already the popular hostelries in this section are caring for large crowds on Saturdays and Sundays and ere the season has advanced three or four weeks, our beautiful Fox and the lakes will-lie alivs with summer reporters, The Chicagoans who have become so atttfehed to the charms and pleasures that our resorts afford, are, without doubt just as eager to see the season open as are we. The winter, to all, has been a long one, and it is with a feeling of renewed enthusiasm that the cottagers are preparing their summer homes for tbe season. Boat owners ar« getting their launches and yachts in readiness aud by the time the real opening arrives everything will be in readiness for an unusually lively summer. We have been very authen­ tically informed that the Motor Boat club will become a reality here this season and in such case our people will be given the opportunity of witnessing some great motor boat races here at home, yes, upon our own beautiful Fox, the coming season. There are owned, among the river resorters alone, over seventy of these water crafts and add­ ing the Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake fleets, which will easily form a like number, there ought to be something doing on the silvery waters of ours. 18 TWENTY YEAR8 OLD. Rlatwsad Oanap M. W. A. Celebrates Twentieth Aaalveraary. The Ringwood camp of Modern Wood­ men celebrated its twentieth anniver­ sary with an open house at Woodman hall in that hamlet last Saturday even­ ing; Preparations for the event had been in progress for some time and the way those Ringwood boys entertained their neighboring brothers is worthy of com­ ment. Au excellent program, previous­ ly arranged for, was produced in a faultless manner by those who partici­ pated and all who had the pleasure of being in attendees# are sot the least sorry for turning out. Tbe Ringwood camp ia one of the oldest and strongest in this section, being composed of nearly one hundred upright, jolly and courteous "wood choppers." Eaoh and' every member has the welfare of "the camp at heart, working together as only brothers can. JtMan be truly said of the Ring wood Woodmen that no camp in the United Kingdom can surpass it when it comes to harmony and enthusiasm Each and every meeting of the camp is well attended and all business is trans acted in a most enthusiastic and har monious manner. This, without doubt, accounts for their superior strength in this section. New members are being added to the camp almost every mouth of the year and we can foresee one of the best camps in tbe state right in our little sister village to the north at no distant date. Ten membeie of the local oamp were up last Saturday evening to help them celebrate the event and all report aplendidilme. Entertained The Oents. Just to show the real hospitality with which they are endowed, the members of the Ladies' Afternoon Cinch club entertained their husbands'and gentle­ man friends at cards at tbe Woodman ball Tuesday evening. The gents, as could be naturally expected, were only too pleased to accept the courteous in vitatiOns extended them to "get in" on one of the club's good times and were all there with their hair in a braid and wearing their Sunday smiles. The ever HE CAUGHT THE RABBIT. 'Batcher Boy" Gets "Staag" Ia ••ary Snnday Brealag. I (rKn^Kn«» " J % Stilling, and who, by the way, is un usually fond of rabbits, came to Mc­ Henry last Sunday evening in company with a merry lot of young people. The jolly party were passing the Mas- quelet drug store when tbe "butcher boy's" lamps were suddenly attracted in a northern direction. A rabbit he had spied sitting in the grass. Giving the crowd the signal to stand still and bold their breath, the heroic young gent in a crouching position started out to capture the game. Fearing that he might be detected by the "innocent" hare the all-four method was ©ippioyed to capture the pet. Onward he crawled on all fours for a distance of several rods (and the grass wasn't dry, either) when with a laat leap his cleaver-like hands rested on the back of the un- frightened animal--^which proved to be a niei'e dummy. No sooner had the captor made this last leap ere the crowd had realised that the "butcher boy" had been stung and the laugh was on him. We would be pleased to produce "the young man's countenance as it appeared at the time bnt fearing to risk our press on such an undertaking we will omit it, but we will not hesitate one moment in saying that it was a queer sight to be­ hold--it was really funny. The poor fellow is getting all that is coming to him and a little bit more just now. Cheer up, old boy, the joke may be on some one other than yourself the next time, Mr. Masquelet's rabbit will be perfectly safe in the future. HARRY T. FULLER DEAP.
