(PUFLISHED BY REQUEST.) HON. HOWARD M. SNAIT. Howatd M. Snapp is a lawyer, was born and raised in Joliet and has always made this city his home. Froui earliest manhood he has been a straight out Republican and there has never been any doubt as to where he stood when it was a question of party principles. He has always been a hard worker for the Republican party and iu 1884 was chosen secretary of the County Central committee. In 1890 he was deservedly promoted to the chairman ship of that committee and held that position until 1906, when he resigned, owing to the press of other duties. Under Mr. Snapp'a guidance the Repub­ lican vote of this county was increased from a bare majority to one of over 5,000. He was elected to congress in 1902 and re-elected in 1904 aud 1906 During his service in congress he has secured large appropriations for the postoMcesin Joliet, Aurora and Elgiji, and full county rural delivery for each of the counties in the district. He is sponsor for the Postal Savings bank movement and his bill n~»w before the house will be the basis fur legisla­ tion to be enacted at the coming session for this popular measure. Re has always beeu an ardent booster of the Deep Water Way project and was one of the men who inaugurated the movement throont the state for the construction of the proposed ship canal to the Gulf. He is a member of the house com­ mittee on postoftice and post roads and has been one of the hardest workers on that most important committee. He is also a member of the census committee. As congressman he has been untiring in his efforts on behalf of the old soldiers of the district. He has at all timea been in harmony with the working majority of the ad­ ministration and President Roosevelt's policies and is regarded in Washington as one of the men who do things. He has always been a representative of the people and his advancement has not been aided by any multimillionaires. ADAM S. CLOW, Adam S. Clow is a rich farm owner and inoney-loaner, living in Wheatland township, and is a mugwump in poli­ tics. He began voting the Democratic ticket when Cleveland ran for president the first time, and voted for Bryan wheu the latter ran against McKinley. He was elected a member of the board of supervisors as an independent and at that time refused to be counted as a Republican, and invariably voted with the Democratic minority when a party vote was required. In the famous Stewart-Childs contest in 1893 he swore that he voted the Dern- ocratic ticket. He was employed by the sanitary dis­ trict, as an expert witness, in the con­ demnation of farm lands along the route of the channel. He was brought out as a candidate for the congressional nomination two yearp ago by and with the recommenda­ tion of Col. John Lambert, who pos aesaes a record politically and every other way that is anything but desirable. He was defeated for the nomination jand is again seeking the same nomina­ tion and has added to his list of promi nent supporters Col. I. C. Copley, head of the gas trust, and Pres R R Mc Cormick, head of the sanitary district water power trust. His virtues are being exploited by Col. John Lambert's Democratic paper, the Joliet Herald. A paper whose columns have been filled continually with proven lies and misrepresentations from the day of ita organization. A paper whose Only claim for political success has been the defeat of regularly nouiiuated Republicans. A paper that has at some time or other subjected every man in public life in this com uinnity to the most scurrilous attacks of this, the vilest of vile sheets Here are the two men who are asking your votes for the congressional nomi­ nation. Compare the men an.I their records Ou the rue hand is a man who has always bfceu a consistent supporter o Republican principles and who lias given his time and his best effort to the ad vaucenieut of those principles and the success of the party, whether or uot he was himself a candidate On the other is one who has tried all pirties iu turn, never remaining faithful to any for any great length of time. One is a firm believer in the Republi­ can watchword, ' The Majority Must Rule," while the other stands merely as a figure-head for a clique of disorgauiz ing malcontents who have bolted uearly alt the Republicau party's candidates for years, because of repeated attempts to disrupt it. Congressman Snapp has been honored by his party b/ large an<i often over­ whelming majorities, and his candidacy has always been endorsed by practically the unanimous voice of his constituents. Then compare the men who are be hind the two candidates. Snapp's chief support comes from the rank and file of the Republican party, the men who are without political ambition but who have a heartfelt desire to see the admin­ istration of affairs in the hands of genu­ ine Republicans. They are the voters who sent Snapp to congress six years ago and who have twice seut him back to his seat in the hational capitol. But behind the other stands the power of money, backed bv revengeful men who care nothing for party ties, but would willingly destroy the entire or­ ganization if thereby they con Id further their own personal interests Tney have been turned down repeatedly by that party, the members of which could place no confidence in their leadership and now they are employing the millions at their command in a vain attempt to purchase the nomination for a man who will be like putty in their hands. It is up to the Republican voters to make their choice. They have the option of casting their ballots in favor of rewarding long, faithful and arduous service in behalf of the interests of the district and returning Howard M. Snapp to congress, or of voting to place the party interests in the tender keeping of John Lambert and I. C. Copley. Your votes on Saturday, August 8, will settle the matter FOR CONGRESSMAN LUMLEY WILL BE NOMINATED. Will Have the Support *f the Farmers Thro nut County. (PUBLISHED BV REQUEST. Attorney V. S Lumley of Woodstock will be nominated for state's attorney by the Republicans on Saturday of this week from present indications. Joslyn's candidacy has been one of mistakes. It is claimed he first started the stories that Lumley had not been honest with the county when he held the office, which charge Lumley has disproved by producing his sworn re­ port, which was approved "by the differ­ ent circuit judges, including Judge Donnelly. The voters also believe that had thpre been auything wrong in that respect W. E. Wire, who was then county superintendent of schools, would have called Lumley to'an accounting; Joslyn's claim that if he is elected he will turn a big sum into the school fund scares many as they know every dollar turned iu must come from some one in this county who can be made to pay, and with the amount turned in must be figured court costs and lawyers' fees, besides the amount to be paid Joslyn for his services. The li»cal opt ion people are now shy­ ing Joslyn as they tind he owns or is in­ terested in four buildings where saloons are now being run, and to theui this doesn't look as if he was a sincere local option candidate. So far Joslyn has not deuied that in 189fi or 1900 he made speeches for Brvan and free silver. It is also charged that Joslyn is a notorious gambler, and it seems to lie admitted he is the avowed candidate of the Woodstock political machine The Oliver employes of Woodstock, knowing both candidates, saw fit to give Mr. Lumley their solid endorsement, which is as follows: "Whereas, the members of the Oliver Employes' Protective league of the city of Woodstock, county of McHenry and state of Illiuois. recognize in Attorney V S. Lumley, of the city of Woodstock, a loyal, patriotic citizen, one who has always been a true blue Republican, a man of strict integrity, a lawyer of un­ questioned ability, and one who, as a former state's attorney of McHenry county, was admitted to be a vigorous aud fearless prosecutor of criminals; and "Whereas, the said V. S. Lumley is now a candidate for tbe Republican nomination for state s attorney of said McHenry county; therefore, be it Resolved, by the said Oliver Em­ ployes' Protective league, of the city of Witodstock. that we do hereby earnestly, heartily aud cheerfully endorse the can­ didacy of the said V. S. Lumley for the nomination to the office of state's attor­ ney of said McHenry county, aud pledge him our hearty support, believing him to be entitled to the nomination, and emineutly qualified for the positiou, and we cheerfully recommend him to the Republican voters of said county." All thingB considered, can the Repub­ licans take tbe chance of nominating Joslyn? The Nunda Herald last week said: "Many in this community know Mr. Joslyn. There are some with whom he is not acquainted. It is safe to say that as a whole Mr. Joslyn is uot fit to hold the important office of state's attorney. "This office demands a man who is known to be right in every way. "Tbe Republicans of this county can­ not afford to nominate for state's attor ney a man who has the reputation of being an habitual gambler. Gambling is a criminal offense under our state law, with a heavy penalty attache*)." EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES. AND IT IS OLSON FOR SENATOR.

Olson of Woodstock will, without doubt, l»e the Republicau nomi­ nee for state senator. The reasons therefore are plain and simple. Regardless of custom, it is this coun­ ty's turn to have a senator. Mr. Olson has done more work to secure the nomination than all of the three candidates against him. His can­ vass, altho vigorous, has been clean, honest and fair. It remained for Mr. Mentch of Cary to start "mud slinging," and Shurtleff foolishly allowed himself to be drawn into the senator fight, and it now looks as if he might be left at home. Mr. Quentin of Lake county will re­ ceive a part of the Lake county votes. The same will happen with Mr. Covey in Boone county, and Covey may also get a scattering vote thru the district which Mentch will not receive. Mr. Olson will carry this county by a large majority, aud the result is self evident that Olson will be nominated. Mentch was handicapped from the start by uot being popular, and also by being the candidate of the political ring at tbe county seat, that have for years made nominations in advance. Every Republican should see to it that he attends the primaries and votes, and votes right, and no one can be found who will not now admit that the November ticket will read: "For state senator, eighth senatorial district, Hon.

A Walworth farmer who hired a hobo was knocked down and robbed- by him whiie the two were doiug the chores. The strike on the Elgin lielvidere street car line has been settled, the men gaining practically every point desired. A. W. Murphy, one of Woodstock's pioneers, died quite suddenly July 24, while on a virtit to his son at Chat field, Minn. The Waukegan Gazette calls atten­ tion to the fact that Zion City, where religion is on tap morning, noon and night, is without a single church. This is said to be the only city of .'1.500 popu­ lation in the United States without a real church building. Forty head of Belgium horses, valued at $2,000 each, passed thru Elgin last Wednesday morning billed to Portland, Ore. Four more carloads of the same breed passed thru the same evening The utmost care is being taken to pre vent accidents to the animals and save the company any heavy damages. Harry Hanth had an ankle broken in a cave in a gravel pit at Crystal Lake Tuesday and was lucky to escape with his life. He was taken to his home ami an examination disclosed no internal in­ juries of a,serious nature. He was load­ ing sand on a wagon when the bank caved in aud he was caughjt by the clods of clay, catching his leg and break­ ing the ankle. Dundee Havvkeye: A few bushels of ciscoe flies which had swarmed to their death around the gas jet on Main street next to the bridge, caused such an offensive oder on Monday morning as they lav in a heap on the road, that Health Officer Kerch ordered them re­ moved aud cast in the depths of the raging Fox river, there to become a prey to the monster game fish which lurk in the pockets of said streanl. Prof. O. R. Gleason, the world re­ nowned horse tamer who has been in Elgin the past few weeks, closes his stay there this week. He has thoroly tamed many vicions horses during his stay, - valuable horses, but made valueless thru their ugly, man killing habits. He gives two exhibitions this week, last night and tomorrow (Friday) Last night 4ie had the mankilling horse, Thunderbolt, which was brought to El­ gin in a special car. Tomorrow night he will have several from the Dunham- Fletcher farm to handle. Wilmot Agitator: Freak thunder­ storms which drench one place and leave dry localities a short distance away are the order of the day A heavy rain fell during the greater part of Tuesday afternoon iu Hebron and dur­ ing the same time not a drop fell in Wilmot. Damage by lightuiug is re­ ported. Pierce Bros, of Spring (irove had a mule killed and Colby Moss of Fox Lake had three heifers killed by lightning recently. Near Wheeling a man was killed by a bolt which came from a single small cloud in a clear sky. He was sitting in a house leaning his head against a gilt moulding. The lightning struck the chimney, and fol­ lowing the moulding killed him in­ stantly. Custodian Cy DeVry of Lincoln park, Chicago, has again shown his interest in the zoo at Lord's park, Elgin, by donating seven animals during the last week. Among the animals are two large grey timber wolves, two prairie coyottes, two racoons and a monkey. The monkey, which is the most wicked of its kind ever confined to the monkey cage at the east end park, is also the homeliest specimen that has ever been gazed at as well. The animal seems aware of its repulsive looks and if a vis­ itor at the zoo chances to look too long and steady at him, be will jump at the wire nttering an almost human cry. The timber wolves, altho rather tame, slink away iu the cells of their cages during the day time, only venturing from them under cover of dark. The animals are of tbe same variety as the young cubs which Custodian Walker has tried to raise on several occasions Wilmot Agitator: While motor boats are increasing in numbers on the waters of the rivers and lakes, owners of Umts are uniting to improve conditions of travel. The sand sucker which has been at work on the river south of Pis­ takee lake has been moved up into the lake aud an effort will be made to get it into (trass lake for deepening the chan­ nel to the string of lakes near Chanu«.i lake. The river from .Silver lake to Grass lake is very well adapted to moter boat travel, there being only a few bars to impede progress In most places the channel is narrow aud water deep. A little intelligent work would make the chanuel deep enough for ordiuary lioats, making a course for launches that it would be a pleasure to pass over. Some of the money which the govern­ ment spends annually for dredging could well be diverted to this work, as its closeness to Chicago would, render the results of the expenditure available to benefit a vast number of people. FACTS AND FIGURES. 'iiitiley 's Kx ptmitt! imi Shattered by His Sworn Report*. In the Harvard independent of July 30, there appeared the following, as Mr. Lumley's explanation of his course in regard to the school fuuds during his term as state's attorney: "Mr. Lumley explained fully that in order for a state's attorney to have money to turn over to tlie school fund, it must first be collected out of the people, and that quite a portion of the money, collected by Mr. Lowell, in the last eight years, had been collected out of citizens of our county thru the office of game warden, which was not in oper­ ation when he (Lumley) was state's attorney. 'Mr. Lomley also produced his sworn reports as state's attorney, bearing the approval of Judges Kellum, Garver, Fuller aud Donnelly, and challenged any man to show where he had ever misappropriated, or failed to account for, any money received by him." In reply to the above challenge, the friends of Mr. Joslyn have obtained from Theodore Hamer, clerk of the circuit court of McHenry county, a certified copy of the records of Mr. Luiuley's sworn reports, referred to by him, which is as follows: 'State of Illinois I County of McHenry y "1, Theo. Hamer, clerk of the circuit court, do hereby certify that I have ex amined the records of my office of the reports filed by V. S. Lumley as state's attorney of said McHenry county and find the following amounts reported as fees and fines, to wit: Fees January term, 1897 $ 300.. September term, 189? .. 180.. January term, 1898 175., May term. 18118 80.. September term, 1898.... 155.. January term, 1899 185.. May term, 1891) ; 155.. September term, 18U9... * 95.. January term, 1900 135., Fines .$ 435 . 280 404 . 100 . 198 40 . 225 . 163 . 180 Total |1860... .$1915 (Seal) THEO IIAMER, Clerk of the Circuit Court." The above figures plainly show that Mr. Lumley had a balance of $555.00 in his hands at the close of his term as state's attorney, even admitting his figures to be correct, (which we do not). It is not claimed by any one that these reports were not approved by different circuit judges. The question is: What became of the balance in his handY Why did he fail to make an annual re­ port to the county judge, as required by law (Sec. 4. Chap. 122. P. 3723, S, & C .), and turn over the balance in his hands to the superintendent of schools for the benefit of the school funds? This he does not claim to have done for tbe reason, as he alleges, that he had no funds in his hands. His own sworn reports contradict him. No game warden law was in force during the terms of Ira R. Curtiss and A. W. Young, and yet both of these men, while serving as state's attorney, turned over considerable money to the superintendent of schools. We fear that Mr. Lumley has been oonvicted by documentary evidence, of being -at least--"violently" mistaken Section 209 of article 14, chapter 122 of Starr & Curtis' Annotated statutes of Illiuois, Vol. 3, page 3724, provides that "all fines, penalties and forfeitures imposed or incurred shall, when collect­ ed, be paid to the county superintendent of schools." Under tbe provisions of this law, the records in the offi<je of the superintend eut of schools for McHenry county show that the amounts given below were turned over to the superintendent for the benefit of the school funds by the following named state's attorneys Ira R Curtiss .$ 800 00 Albert W.

Several dill-dove hunts are reported to have taken place during the past week, all at tbe expense of several Chicagoans who had never before heard of this rare (?) sport. They are more wise now. Harvest time is with us aad big crops of oats and barley are being downed by the self binder. The season of 1908 this far has been a good one for the farmer and if conditions continue corn busking will find barns aud granaries and cribf full to their capacity. Many of our business men as well as private property owners are taking ex­ ceptions to the manner in which oar streets are being sprinkled The service, tlfey aay, is anything but4 satisfactory. Now we should suggest that steps be taken by tbe proper authorities to abolish this state of affairs. Attorney A.
