Welch of Griswold Lake, and Clarence Enoch Martiu of Wanconda. The cereiuouy was performed by the Rev. Fr. B«>nrke, before a larue gath­ ering of relatives and friends. At about eleven o'clock on that bright June morning, the solemn words were spoken which made them sharers m each other's joynjuid sorrows for life. The bridal party entered the church to the melo dions strains of LohengreuV wedding inarch, played by Miss Florence Welch. The bride, gowned in a white lace robe over white silk and carrying bouquet of cream roses, carnations and ferns, presented a beautiful picture characteristic of her amiable disposition nnd simple girlish life. The groom to this happy event is the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Martin, and is a yonng man of excellent habits and sterling qual ities.

After the mass, which followed the exchanging of vows, all repaired to the home of the bride, where a sumptuous wedding dinner was served. The newly wedded couple left on the evening train for a short trip, after which they will be at home to their friends on the groom's farm near Wanconda.

One of the prettiest church weddings of the season was solemnized at the Transfiguration Catholic church at Wauconda at 10:30 o'clock last Monday morning, June 8, when Mr. Henry J. Schaffer, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Schaffer of this place, and Miss Agnes Geary, the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Geary, and one of the most popular young ladies of Wancon­ da, were united in marriage, the Rev. F. F. Wonlfe, pastor of the church, per­ forming the ceremony. The church was prettily decorated for the occasion with white carnations and ferns. The wedding march was played by Miss Rosa Justeu of this place and the choir of St. Mary's Catholic chnrch, under the direction of Charles G. Frett, sang the nuptial mass. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Cecelia Geary, as maid of honor, while the Misses Genevieve Roney, ie Martin, Edith Geary of Wau­ conda, and Miss Kathryn Knox of Mc­ Henry were the bridesmaids.

The tables were prettily decorated with cut flowers and ferns and the spacious dining room was decorated in green and white, inter­ spersed with white wedding bells. The dinner, as served by Landlady Torensen, was fine and one of the pleasing features was that all the guests were seated at the same time. Music was furnished by the orchestra while the guests were partaking of the sumptuous repast, after which all repaired to the hall, led by the bridal party, where Mr. Chas. Frett rendered two fine, appropriate solos and Miss Genevieve Roney gave a recitation which was highly appreciated by all.

Lake Geneva is about to pass an ordi nance forbidding spitting ou the side­ walks or throwing banana peels, paper or other refuse on the sidewalks. Mrs R. E. Sizer of Walworth, Wis., was instantly killed by a bolt of light ning that struck her home last week Thursday. It is said the bolt followed the telephone wire. Fire of unknown origin last Wednes' day destroyed the sheep shearing sheds of John McQueen at Kirkland, cremat­ ing 250 head of sheep and causing a loss of $T»0(M). There was no insurance The Oliver factory at Woodstock now has a working force of about 800 and 150 complete typewriters are turned out every working day. Since last week Monday the eight hour day has been in vogue. A large party of former employes of the Collins & Bnrgie S|pve company, whose factory at Marengo was destroyed by fire last summer, left last week for Pueblo, Col., where they will enter in the employ of the Pueblo stove works. Olaf Jensen, a resident of Capron, is believed to have lost his life on the Guin­ ness farm near Laporte, Iud He went to Laporte, taking $200 from the bank and #100 which was due him for wages, -aying h« was going to marry a rich widow in northern Indiana. Mrs. Charles Yaeger, an Elgin woman, is to receive Carnegie aid for the heroic rescue from drowning of the little Riedl child in Elgin last September. The woman's health has been broken bv the ordeal and she is now incapacitated for work. Special action will be taken to care for Mrs. Yaeger, who is a needy woman. H. I. Miller, president of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad, has pur­ chased 200 acres of Imd near Bnrring- fcon and proposes to raise turtles, guinea pigs, gold fish and mushrooms. He has begun the construction of several ponds and lagoons for the turtles and fish, and it is expected that the guinea pig yards will be the largest in the country. Chas. H. Tryon, for twenty years' sur­ veyor of McHenry county, has announc­ ed his desire that Lester Barber of Marengo be the choice of the people for that office at the expiration of Mr. Tryon's present term. He has just passed his 82nd birthday and feels that it will be a physical impossibility for him to continue to perform the duties of county surveyor after bis present term expires. Nowadays when a man falls in love with auother man's wife, that's affinity; but when a man falls in love with your wife, that's--different. If you stand on the corner and make ugly remarks about another man's daughter, that's fun; but when it happens to be your girl, that's scandal. So it is all along the line. It makes a lot of difference whose wife or daughter it is, and which way you peel the bark. Ever stop to think about it? Oklahoma is the first state in the Union to pass a law guaranteeing bank deposits. After Feb. 17, the state will guarantee the deposits in all |he state banks. If a bank fails the state bank examiner pays the depositors from a guarantee fnnd. This fund is secured by a small tax on all the banks. It is believed there will be no more runs on Oklahoma banks for all deposi tors will know that the state guarantees their money. The water in Lake Geneva is the highest ever known since any record of the water level has been kept. About a week ago the waste gates were opened and as large a yolume of water as they dared let go has been running since, hut the level of the lake has risen .contin­ ually. The gates were raised high enough to take care of the inflow and also lower the lake gradually, but the volume of water has been so great that lowlands and buildings in the vicinity have been flooded. Rock ford is more than pleased with the local option law. The city jail is empty now, a condition unheard of last year. Vigilant work is being done by all officials to make it impossible for a drunk man to get into the city via the interurban lines One third of the former saloons are now used as soft drink parlors and the remainder have been rented for other business.

Investigations by state health officials of the dairy herds in Kane, McHenry and DeKalb counties have resulted in finding many diseased cattle, many of them being in the last stages of tuber­ culosis. Talk of criminal prosecution is rife, for it is claimed that much evi­ dence ie obtainable to prove that several owners of dairies have kept cows in their herds when they knew that they were Buffering with tuberculosis or other disease, the milk- from these animals going with the rest of the product to the factories. Hebron Tribune,: We are pleased to announce that David R. Josyln, who is well and favorably known in this community, is now actively engaged in making a campaign for the office of state's attorney of this county. He is a former resident of Hebron township, having purchased in 1892 the farm now owned by James Turner, upon which he resided for four years. In 1896 he sold his farm to Horace Pronty and re­ moved to Chicago, where he practiced law for two years, later opening a law office in Woodstock, where he has since been engaged in the practice of his pro­ fession. Mr. Joslyn was born in Woodstock in 1866 and has been a resident of this county his entire life. He conies of a family of lawyers, his grandfather hav- iug tried some of the first cases brought in the courts of McHenry county. Sev­ eral of his nncles have been engaged in the legal profession, and his father--the late M. L. Josyln--was for many years a leader at the McHenry county bar. Attorney Joslyn has tried many cases for our citizens during his practice, and in every instance has given the best of satisfaction. For the past ten years he has been attorney for the village of He­ bron, being employed each year by the different village boards. Prior to the time of his employment as village attor­ ney our citizens had for years been an­ noyed by the presence here of "blind pigs," and had spent a great deal of money in a vain effort to close them. Oue of the first cases prosecuted by Mr. Josyln, after open teg an office in Woodstoock, was that of the Village of Hebron vs. Joseph Keats for conducting a saloon in violation of the dram shop law and the village ordinances, and within thirty days after his employment the "blind pig" was dead and Mr. Keats had removed from the county. Since which time no one has attempted to vio­ late the dram shop, law in this village against the wishes of the village board Mr. . Joslyn has been employed in most of the important cases tried in McHenry oounty during the past few years, and has seldom, if ever, lost a jnry case in our courts. During the time that Mr. Joslyn has practiced law in thie county he has justly been regarded as absolutely hon­ est, and, in every instance, loyal to the interests of bis clients. The enforcement of the crimiaal law of this state is one of the most important features of our form of government, in order that the guilty may he punished and the innocent may not be unjqstly pat to the expense of defending them selves, and whoever is selected to fill that office should be strictly honest, con­ scientious and able as a trial lawyer. A large portion of the lines collected by the State's attorney should go to assist in maintaining our public schools, and from Mr. Joslyn's record we know that if he fs elected every <&llar belong ingtothe school fnnd that reaches the state's attorney's hands will be turned over to our schools. The sentiment of the people of this community, and, we understand, gener ally thrnout the county, is now turning strongly towards Mr. Joslyn for this position and appears to be gaining rapidly in strength, and, from present indications, it appears that he will re­ ceive the nomination, and the people of this community are confident that he will fill the office with credit to himself and his friends.

Although Mayor Busse, benedict, had hied himself to Fox Lake in the hope of resting, Sunday proved one of the most arduous days of his life. Monday he admitted that he had not been worried so much before in any day of his exist ence. He was pestered by photogra phers, .showered with congratulations, followed by crowds of curious people, and, lastly, forced to stand for a lot of • 'kidding." His first minute of peace came late in the evening, when he re treated to a shady place in the rear of Alderman Foreman's cottage and dropped into a hammock. Between drinks of lemonade he mopped his per­ spiring brow and begged to be left alone "It is fierce," he said. The mayor slip­ ped away to the summer resort, leaving the new Mrs. Busse at home. It was not the mean trick of a man long mar­ ried, however. He planned that his be ing gone would keep the newspaper men a way from the Sedgwick street flat. Going Fishing? Some of the best fishi ng in the world can be enjoyed in the summer resort region of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Northern Michigan, most conveniently reached by direct and superior train ser­ vice of the North Western Line.
