A strange cattle ailment which is baf­ fling the local veterinary doctors is sniil to prevail in the vipinity of A^ouroe, Wis., and is causing considerable loss to farmers. The disease resembles paraly­ sis, and while the stricken animal's temp^rafnre remains normal, those afilicted rapidij' lose iu weight, A hill h;is been intpvhiced in the Illi­ nois legislal tire providing for a judicial reapportionment of the state of Illinois.

"Pony" Moore, a rich, colored gam­ bler of Chicago, is planning a Utopia for the colored race near Wheaton. Re has purchased thirty acres of land and intends that it shall be divided into lots, and that colordd people who have their work in Chicago may have sub- hurban homes there. It is on the A. E. & C. road, about uineteen miles west of Chicago. The surveyors for the new Wankegan, Rock ford and Elgin electric railroad are now at work between Wankegan and Orayslake and grading will commence April 1. The first thirteen miles from Wankegan to Uray'slake will be com­ pleted aud iu operation this season and" work will be pushed as far as possible from there to Fox Lake, McHenry, Woodstock and Marengo. Heretofore the official paper of the Modern Woodmen has been sent thru the mail as second class matter, but, the postoffice department has ruled that on account of the advertisements it carries it must go as tirst class matter. To mail this paper first class would cost *17,(MM) an issue and the officials have gone to Washington to confer with the postal authorities in regard to the mat­ ter. One of our exchanges says that at­ tention has again been called to Duffy's whiskey, that friend of the man who wants to live to be a hundred. It is al­ leged that Duffy 's has a sponsor in con­ gress who has interceded for it before the ( fficers enforcing the pure food law. But there is uo evidence that the de­ partment has given Duffy's any of the best of it. Unless chemists lie, Duffy's is a villianons compound of alcohol aud coloring matter that not even a pull in congress could make appear otherwise One hundred and seventeen Holstein cattle, six horses, a hundred tons of hay, a large quantity of grain and con­ siderable farm machinery were con- snmed in a tire which burned a big barn, 120 by 80 feet, Sunday morning of last week, a mile and a half west of Hunt ley, on a farm owned bv A.

Thomas Oliver, inventor of the Oli­ ver typewriter, died in the Argyle sta­ tion of the Northwestern elevated rail­ road in Chicago Tuesday evening of last week. He, with his wife, was just starting for the South, to* sell hie latest invention, a cotton picking ma­ chine, which is claimed will do the work of sixty men in the field ayd is, in his own estimation, the most im­ portant of all his inventions.

The basket social given by Miss Mary Doherty m the Clemens schoolhouse last Saturday night was attended by a crowded house, despite the stormy weather. A fine program by the pupils took np the first of the evening, after which the baskets were put up for sale, W. K. Whitintr acting as auctioneer, and he certainly knew how to bring the prices. The baskets were all attractive, the "Merry Widows," especially, fur nighinuc the fun of the evening. A fish pond full of good "fish" won the hearts and nickels of the little folks, and the sale of peanuts and pop corn brought the reoeipts of the evening to $49 6.'), the# baskets alone netting $44.75. It was prononncert by all a very .enjoyable affair, and the "wee sma' hours" were close at hand ere the merry party broke ap. The following letter just received un­ doubtedly will be of interest to many, and particularly to those readers who Mr. HOC! Mr». K. k, B«Mftt Entertain Mr. and Mrs. E» E Bassett, were hosts at a progressive cinch party at their pleasant home on Main street last Sat­ urday evening. Tables were arranged for twenty eight players and at the con elusion of the games it was found that honors had been won by Mr. and Mrs. C. L. P>ige. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess, after which the merry guests departed. Those pres ent were: Messrs, and Mesdames W. D Wentworth, C. L. Page, F. H. Wat­ tles, Jus. Perkins, Frank Martin, Claude Hntson, C E. Sherman, A. M. Brown, Ivl Ma rlin; Mesdames R. G, Iiii. Leo Salvage, Nina Shertuau and Carrie Mansfield. "tiooii l.nck, I'eter!" Peter Engeln was the victim of a neatly managed stag surprise party on Feb. 12, iu celebration of his thirty-third birthday. After he got his second wind, the crowd proceeded to do ample justice to the viands on the festal board, and the fun and jollity lasted rill the wee small honrs. All expressed themselves as having had an enjoyable time, and Mr. J. Panesi made a name for himself as a "pane-cure" discoverer. Those present were: Messrs. Ed, Graham, Long Lake; W. F. Riley, J. 0. Riley, Oscar Kausohe. .Toe Panesi, John Panesi, Ralph Riley, Chicago: Theo. Schiessle, Win Holtz and Chas. Lampbere, Mc- Henrv Richmond (iazette: Grandma Cot- ting, McHenry county's oldest resident, who has been in poor health for the past three weeks, now lies in a precarious condition at her home in this village. Mrs Cotting's weak physical condition is not doe to illness of any kind, but to her extreme old age, and members of the family feel that.it is only a question -if a short time before the angel of leath will relieve her of all earthly cares. Grandma Cotting passed her 103rd birthday on Aug. 22 last and she 1*>one of the oldest if not the oldest resi­ dent in the state. . Very IM«a»aiit KurpfUe Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Besley -were made the victims of one of the most en­ joyable surprise parties last Tuesday uight. The surprise was a complete one, and the presence of their son, Dr. W. C. Besley, and wife and little son of Woodstock among the guests added to the pleasure of the welcome given all. Tables for twenty players were soon ar­ ranged and progressive cinch furnished the amusement for the evening , Mrs. R. G. Chamberlin and G. W. Besley secur­ ing the prizes. Dainty refreshments, provided by the invaders, * closed an evening of rare enjoyment. Week Knd Club. The Week End club was entertained by Miss Carrie Price at the home of her brother, H. E. Price, last Friday even­ ing, all members being present. Two tables were arranged for cinch and at the close of the games it was found that Miss Nellie Newman had won first houors, the prize being a water color card. Miss Mable Granger was fortu­ nate enough to secure the consolation prize, there being five contestants for the honor. After the games refresh­ ments were served, and musicand merry chat occupied the time until the hour of departure. Kntf rtainn Clnli or .Sixteen Ladies At her home on Water street Mrs. W. G, Schreiner last Thursday even­ ing entertained the club of sixteen ladies who have been enjoying cinch parties during the winter months, this being the last party ^given before Lent and every lady having already won one of the prizes. The first prize, a tall china vase, was carried away by Mrs. Johu Bishop; the second, an oval, gilt framed picture, by Mrs. Albert Krause; and the consolation prize, a postal albumj was awarded to Miss Gertrude Weber. Dainty refreshments were served and * pleasant tiue enjoy eJ by all. (fernember Mr. Straub as former pastor of the Universalist church here. The letter has been somewhat abbreviated, but all of general interest is given: Columbia, Cuba, Feb. 10, 1909. Mrs. Anna Byrd, « Dear Madam: Your favoi of the 2Srd ult. reached us the 3rd inst., finding us well aud busy as usual. All enjoyed your letter very much for the interest it manifested andihe news. I received, also, one on the same mail from Miss Story of the far West. Had had no word from her for more than a year. She gave us some McHenry news, show­ ing that she keeps in touch with the bid associations there, I am glad the old church is still doing its work and amid the encroachments is making a successful fight for its life. Blessings on the good people that are standing by it so faithfully. 1 get good letters from Mrs. H. W. Allen of Ring- wood at times concerning the church. It is gratifying, also, to see yon speak of your own (no longer little) girls. Our little Gladys is growing finely and is probably abreast of those of her age in schooling, w,hich for the most part she gets at home. She is also very good on piano aud organ. But she revels in this great tropical verdure; has a fhwer gardeu and trees all her own and it is well kept. Besides, she has pets--cats, chickens, parrot and swarms of wild birds that are generally quite tame-- too much so, often. In short, it is a great country for children as well as for older ami the* oldest. With ordinary care there is very little sickness. 1 do not know how you might like it here. People differ in respect to coun­ tries. It is not a hot country, especially on this north shore. It is seldom a hundred degrees, --1 have never seen the mercury there iu Cuba, and fifty de­ grees is about its lowest touch and that is very seldom. In the summer about eighty four degrees and in the winter about ten degrees less. It has iu the last few weeks gotten 'down into the fifties several times but not to fifty. In sects are bad sometimes--mosquitoes, jiggers and a very small gnat, but we are months at a time without them. The staples in this region are, as I before wrote yon, and will be, fruits and cane sugar. It is said to be fine tobacco land, but w£ do no*, care for that. We have lovely oranges, grape fruit, limes and lemons now in bearing. Yes, we sometimes call the groves "orchard," but more commonly "groves. " It would be a fine thing for you to have at least a small grove of these fruits--an acre or ltiss, or five acres. Ordinarily, seventy-two trees go on an acre. A Chicago young lady has ten acres about a mile and a half from town with one acre about ready to plant. I think she contemplates making her home here by and by. Most, I think, of those who have summered and wintered here prefer summer. It is not as pleasant here as it will be when the people come down to live on their holdings. I drop an orange blossom into this from our grove. They make the grounds fragrant when in full bloom. Will be glad to have word from you at your leisure. From all cordially to all friends, JACOB STRAUB. MARTIN-M'GEE, Vincent Martin and Miss Mary MeCto* Are Married Here Yesterday At St. Patrick's church, at 9:30 o'clock on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1909, occurred the marriage of Mr. Vincent Martin aud Miss Mary McGee, the Rev. Father Bourke officiating. Promptly at the hour the strains of the wedaing march, played by Misg, R#se Jnsten, announced the coming of the bridal party. The bride was at­ tended by her sister, Miss Eleanor Mc­ Gee, and Frank Martin, brother of the groom, acted as best man. Tne bride was attired in white messaline, while the bridesmaid wore a gown of white taffeta silk. After the ceremony the relatives and frieibds gathered at the home of Dr. C. H. Fegers, Sr., where a wedding breakfast was served. >fhi young couple left in the afternoon on a short wedding trip, after which they will begin honsekeeping on the groom's farm near Wanconda.

Mrs. Catherine Stbith passed away at her home at Fox Lake Tuesday, Feb. 8, 1909, after a short illness due to old age, at the age of eighty-eight years. She was born in Dilscheid, Mayen, Coblena, Prussia, in 1821. In 1840 she was mar ried to Peter Smith in the town of her birth, and in 1852 they emigrated to America. At that time there was no railroad out of Chicago in this direction, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, together with the latter s father and mother' and brother-in-law, made the journey from Chicago to Johnsburgh, by way of Volo, on foot, passing the night in a haystack, as houses were few and far between. They lived at Johnsburgh for two years,, after which they bought the farm at Fox Lake, where the family has resided ever since. Mr. Smith passed away twenty-six years ago. ' Six children are living, as follows: Mrs. John Williams and Nick Smith, Chicago; Mrs. John Frost and Mrs. John Stadtfeld, Volo; Mrs. Nick Kretchmer, Grayslake; Mrs. John Tonyan, Fox Lake.

Miss Rena Nieseu entertained the Bachelor Girls at her home Thursday !-l- evening, January 28. It was a fancy dress party, some of the costumes being a little bit more than pretty. Owing to the bad weather, all of the girls did not get oat, but the spirits of those who did brave the wind and snow were at the bubbling point. Lunch was served at an early hour, and it is unnecessary to say they did ample justice to it. They all voted Miss Rena a royal hostess. MUM Ju»l»-it KntertMliiH "Kachplor filrl*."

Some of the senior boys are planning to go with Mr. Rice to Springfield next Saturday, to see the state capitol, the home of Lincoln, various points of legis­ lative and historical interest and to at­ tend the meeting of the state academy of science. Miss Nellie Newman was a visitor on the stormiest'day of last week, spending the day in visiting the various rooms and being an auditor of one series of physiology lectures from members of the senior and junior classes. These lectures ar6 being well done. Another series is due next week, Lincoln's birthday was celebrated in the school last Friday afternoon in four prograins, as was announced la6t week. We were much pleased with the nn- usual number of persons who attended these exercises. There were over one hundred persons present. Mr. H. C.
