Smith for Hicigeneid, pitched a clever game and had it not been for the ragged support tendered him in the tenth inning, the game may have gone on until darkness. The Bmali crowd present seemed well pleased with the contest that they had- "been treated to.

James McDonald, who resides west of town, and who, by the way, has chick ens on his farm that are educated, be lieves in delivering U> the trade nothing but the very freshest of eggs. It seems that Mr, McDonald wants everyone to know that the eggs he delivers into town are absolutely "new" and for that reason has his hens educated to ride to town with him and lay their eggs jusi before delivering them to the McHenry storekeepers. An excellent deinonstra tion of this method of doing business was witnessed on the west side of town one morning this week. Now if there are some who take this np as a mere story, we kindly refer them to the owner of the hen. Oh, You Girls.

John Kablo of Greenwood, Annie Eicksted of Riley and Richard Freyar of Crystal Lake made np the three cases. All three were taken to Elgin for treatment. Elgin people are using a carload of Crystal Lake ice daily. The supply se­ cured from Fox river last winter ip limited and is not sufficient to supply the trade, and the ice trust is shipping the product from Crystal Lake to Elgin and Aurora. The supply in the houses of the Elgin companies has not been exhausted, but it iB deemed cheap er to ship now than in hot weather, as there is less wasted. The ice is a little heavier than that taken from the river in f£!gi*i but of no better quality. The judicial election in Chicago ad vanced -another McHenry county boy to a place of supreme responsibility and trust when Jesse A. Baldwin, well known to many of our readers, was elected to the position of judge of the circuit court of Cook county, being one of the eight Republicans elected, while six Democrats found a place on the 4ame bench. McHenry county boys generally make a^gond report of them selves, and Judge Baldwin's many friends here extend congratulations. At the annual meeting of the Wal toniau club, held at the Waltonian hotel at Fox Lake, it was decided to refer the purchase of a new site for the clubhouse to the executive committe. There are several desirable locations in that vi­ cinity and it is probable that one of them will be selected and purchased in the hear futnre. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President--Hon. D. F. Barclay. Vice president--John Sigwald. Secretary and treasurer--Judge John H. Williams. Executive committee--Judge J. W. Ranstead, A. P. Thorns and Henry Munta. Very few people are aware! that letter is the property of the Bender up to time it ie delivered. Many an indi­ vidual, either badly advised or in the heat of passion has written and mailed a letter that he would gladly recall short time after -mailing, but labors under the impression that after pass­ ing into Uncle Sam's hands it has be­ come the property of the one to whom it is addressed. Even after a letter hat- reached its destination it is possible to stop its delivery by telegraphy, and thit> method is often followed by the initi­ ated. Head Consul Talbnt, of the Wood­ men, has sent out a statement which is in part as follows: "For the month of May there were issued 13,495 benefit certificates to that number of new mem be re, and we chartered 132 new camps. This is another record-breaker--the fourth event in that class during the year 1909, which we have been able to announce. February, March, April and May monthly records of new buai aess have exceeded all previous record* in the history of the society, while the March results represented the largest number of new members ever written in any month since its organization." A deceptive counterfeit f 10 national bank note, bearing the portrait of William McKinley, has been disoover ed and the secret service is trying U trace its origin. The counterfeit is viewed by the officials as one designed with great cleverness. The note is ont- the Citizens' Central National Bank of New York City, of the series of, 1902, and apparently is printed from litho graph plates on two pieces of paper, and between which silk threads havt been distributed. The numbering in poor, the figures being irregular, in size and alignment, but the pink seal is ex cellent, both as to color and workman ship. GONE TOTHE FAR BEYOND CW isHdh's birthday, 'jftftw&dli Fourth, will be appropriately celebrat­ ed at Columbia Park, east of Johns­ burgh, on Monday, July 5. Preparations for the day's observance are already well under way and when the big day arrives Columbia Park will have something to offer that will so far surpass all previous efforts on similar occasions that comparison will be utter­ ly out of the question. The management of this beautiful park proposes to give the public an opportunity to celebrate this day as it never before waa observed. Plenty of amusements will be there.

The following clipping from the Rock ford Daily Republic will be of in terest to many of oui* readers: At 12:01 tonight the Wells-Fargo Eft press company takes over the businees on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul lines. Coincident with it the old foroe of the United States local office, headed by Wiufield S. Woodburn, goes over to the Wells-Fargo office at 2M3 South Main. Mr. Woodburn, who is only twenty eight years old, made a rapid climb in the express business. He began as a driver for the United States company here six years ago under Charles Shock- ley. Then he went into the office as bill clerk. From this job he went to that of'messenger on the road. He was appointed agent at Mendota and soo- cessively held the agencies at Kenosha, Beloitand Rock ford. When he started in as a driver it was with his eye on an agency in Rockford, and he lauded it much quicker than is usually the case. He was Rockford agent when the big change was made and took his entire force with him to the Wells-Fargo. The Weils-Fargo statistics give the company a total mileage of 70,000, with 7,000 offices. In this country it extends from coast to coast and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. apolis, Minn., and. the |EL V. Johnson company, Chicago. In 1901, he accepted a position as manager of a tile factory for the Nat­ ional Fireproofing company in Ottawa, III,, where he lived the past eight years. In February of this year his health be­ gan to fail. The disease stole rapidly upon him, when a total collapse came upon him February 27, forcing him to give up his position and return to the home at Crystal Lake, in the hopes that a rest would benefit bim.

Her life companion, Robt. Wright, passed to the higher life Sept. 14, 1895. This nnion was blessed with nine chil­ dren, eight sons and one daughter: Cookson M., of New York; Pembertou W.,ofTacoma; Alvan Stanley of Fox Lake; Eraesi W., of Chicago; Elmer E.. ofTacoma; Benjamin F., of Tacoma; Robert Walter, of McHenry; Charles P., of McHenry, and Mrs. Clara I.

Aside from these to monrn her de­ parture are seven grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mrs. Wright was confirmed in the Episcopal church in England and to this communion she had always been faithful thruout her life. Her life was of a spiritual tendency and lived in preparation to partake of eternal life, and she looked'upon the end of-this mor­ tal life as the "gathering of the ripened harvest, the golden grain," so we would say, A "As we bend o'er her coffined form And'our tears fall softly down, We look our last on the aged face. With Its look of pcuee, its patient Krace, And hair like a silver crown. We touch our own to lier clay cold bands, From life's IOHK labor at rest. And among: the blossoms white anu sweet, 1 n mind, we note a. bundle ol golden wheat, I us peit close to the silent breast. Thcblossom whispers of fadeless bloom, Of a laud where fall no tears, The ripe wheat tells of toil and care. The patient waiting, the trusting Prajfer, The garnered (jood of the years. We know not what work her bands bad found, „ ... W hat rugged peaces at her feet; What cross was hers, what blackness of We'ste"'but the peace, the blossoms white, And the bundles of ripened wheat."
