Mr. Thompson was a dealer in agri­ cultural implements and was adjusting the fans of a mill seventeen feet from the ground at the above mentioned farm when he made a misstep and fell, striking on his head. He was uncon­ scious when picked up, and was con-' veyed to his home^ where physicians were called and efforts made to arouse him. It was seen that he was suffering from concussion of the brain, and he died without having regained his facul­ ties or having recognized any of the family. A Chicago specialist removed a blood clot from the brain Friday, bnt be could not be rallied. He was born in McHenry county and was a son of one of the early settlers, and had resided in that neighborhood during his entire life of fifty years. After leaving the farm he engaged in the implement business and was a re­ spected and popular man. A widow and three children reside in North Crystal Lake. Taxes! Taxes I Taxes!

Wynn, gen­ eral manager, will begin actual work of construction with the opening 6f spring, probably April 15. Simultane ousiy the work of construction will begin at Waukegan aud at G rayslake.. Grayslake is ambitious and is eager to have part of the electric road done by midsummer or sooner so that the lakes district may feel its benefit. Therefore, at the same time that the first shovel full'of earth is turned at. Waukegan, a spade will also sink inte the turf at Grayslake and the construe fciou of the road between Grayslake and Drnce Lake will begiu. The building of the three milen be tween the two lakes will mean the opening of the lakes district on that side of Fox Lake to the world as never before. People in the vicinity of Grayslake are taking up the proposition eagerly and are willing to spend their money with the road because they see a great amusement park locaated in their; neighborhood and a great augmentation of the summer trade, perhaps as much: as 500 per cent. In addition to this, they see, when the road is completed between Wauke-« • gen and the lakes,. a traffic agreement with the boat ahd trolley lines that will bring to them many people and more dollars.

"THE HIDDElf HAND" IS A HOMELIKE, OLD FASHIONED STORY OF OLD VIRGINIA written by Mrs. Sottthworth and appeared as a serial in the New York Ledger whea that famous stwry paper was riding on the top wave of success and prosperity. The story has been dramatized by Eugene Moora and will bo presented in thi city before many days. Both play and company have received unstinted praise from both public and pross. It is so* seldom in this up -to-date world of ours that a homsliko and interesting drama with a taste of the hills a real flavor of the woods and valleys is seen, that "THE HIDDEN HAND" comes lis a relief. Concerning this production the Cincinnati Enquirer of a recent date made these few pleasing remarks: tfush? Slie a AsIeep There ?w. & ••THE HIDDEN HAND" COMPANY appeared last night la tills city in time for the opening at the Lyceum Theatre, where they were kindly welcomed by a large and appreciative audience. The motif of the play deals with the good old times in old Virginia with darkies, laughter, music and a love story with the inevitable villain to overcome. "THE HIDDEN HAND" COULD NOT FIND FAVOR UNLESS PRESENTED BY A CAPABLE CAST. It is pleasant to note that those who took part gave a good account of themselves and the earnestness with which the different actors entered into their work gave a distinct value to the character of the play. There was enough action in the play to mate it interesting and thrilling and the scenery showing some interesting spots in Virginia is well worth seeing." ' GLAD CROWDS LEAVE THE THEATRES.
