This will he one of the finest excursions of the seasons and, as it is for a worthy canse, we trust there will be a good torn out. Remember the date, Thurs­ day, July 17. It is a shame and disgrace to onr vil­ lage that we are obliged to refer so often to the fact that flowers and plants •re taken from lots in*the cemetery, but wlien we have been to much trouble and expense onrselves to get choice plants and vines to ornament the rest­ ing place of our dead and then go to the cemetery and fiud that slips have been taken off, nearly ruining the plant, and some even dug up and carried away, it is a little more than human nature can bear. Such is the condition that we found some very choice plants on our lot last week, and we want the party to understand (and we think we know who it is) that we have no slips or plants to give away or sell, and if they persist in taking them they will soon have to make a reckoning that they will not like. Take anything else we have, but let the resting place of our dead alone. Of all the sneak thieves in the world a despoiler of a cemetery we moat despise.

Apt* THE Boat WM Saved. / A sad, sad tale is related about two prominent business men of this place, and that they are alive today remains an unsolved mystery. One of the two Koutieuioli iu ijufotiOii uwuo n uS&StiFu! launch, at least the owner thinks a great deal of it,--in fact, he believes in protecting it from all harm at all times, even at the risk of his own life. Last Wednesday afternoon the two gentle­ men in question set ont in this very launch for a spin up the river. All went well until the return trip. The little craft was gliding the silvery waters of the beantifnl Fox in a manner that gladdened the heart of its proud owner, when, lo, at a point opposite Dutch creek the naughty storm over­ took them. As previously stated, the boat's safety was the owner's foremost thought at all times. The rain was failing in torrents, the captain was in grmt anxiety and the first mate was consoling himself with the thought that he soon would be in a more comfortable place. Suddenly there came a shout from the captain--the orders were to jump and save the "vessel." No sooner had the orders sounded forth ere both had made the plunge, and, forming a human tug, the heioes pulled the boat to shore, It surely was a narrow escape for the boat. Another case where pres­ ence of mind saved a boat from a severe lucking. The water at this point was -lofticiently deep to give the heroes a" «>»ud soaking, as the wash line the fol­ lowing day plainly pointed oat--but the boat was saved.

A MUMIIMMOM AHortmeat OF News Item* In OoadenHd Fom For OratM- lenee ofJBusy People. A 80-acre farm south of Harvard sold recently for $6750. an average of $335 an acre, which is a record lor land in the county. The Chicago Record HeraM real estate editor is abont to begin a cam­ paign of advertising to boom the Fox river valley as a place to reside. It is understood he Will start with Geneva and give the town an extensive write- tip. Lake Geneva News: The biggest shipment of souvenir postal cards ever received here and probably as large as would lie imported by some of the large wholesale dealers was received by James Leonard last week. The shipment weighed a ton and contains two hundred thousand postal cards of the finest qual­ ity direct from Germany. All are local subjects. There is a fellow living near here who is taking a mail order course in cbem iBtry and the other day he went into the drug store to purchase a small bottle and waa told that the empty- bottle would cost him three cents, bnt if he wanted anything-in it, it would cost nothing. The fellow stood around for awhile and then told the clerk to pnt a cork in it. On July 1 Kane county ceased to pay bounty on crows, crows' eggs and wood chucks. The bounty last year is said to have cost the county almost $2,000, and a protest issued resulted in the legisla ture making it optional with the snper visors of a county whether or not they would pay the bounty. Kane oonnty financiers immediately decided they would no longer pay. Within a few weeks Aurora's down town district will be lighted entirely by decorative lights. The arc lights will be cnt ont. The decorative lights will be burned all night instead of until mid* night, the top light burning all night. The reasons for the changes are econ­ omy and the better lighting of the city. It has been found that the sidewalk lamps take less than half the current needed to keep the arc lights going. Steps are being taken by the post office department to have new postal cards issned. It is claimed that onr cards are mnch inferior to those of some of the European oountries. It is thought there will be changes also in the design, which will make the cards more attrac­ tive than those now being issued. No other country begins to approach UB in the general use of postal cards, the cause being that American merchants use such vast numbers for advertising and other purposes. The Verkes observatory at Lake Ge­ neva is now open Saturday* from 1:80 to 4.80 p. to., until Sept 80, and between Oct. 1 and May Si from 10:00 a. m. to 12.00 m. Visitors will be given an op­ portunity to see the 40 inch Yerkes tele­ scope. Some member of the staff will demonstrate the method of operating the telescope, dome and rising floor. It is not possible to permit visitors to look thru the telescopes. Tickets may be obtained free of charge by sending a mped self addressed envelope to the secretary of the observatory. The postoffiee department has issned an order that any rural delivery route on which 'fifty cents worth of stamps per day are not furnished, will be dis­ continued. There are few routes which do not already meet this requirement, and once the ruling has become gen orally known, even these few will doubtiess be saved to the service. Farmers would do well to buy necessary stamps direct from the rural carriers, thus putting the service on their line ont of danger and forming a good index to the prosperity and intelligence of that particular ronte. Crystal Lake Herald: Woodstock paid a lot of money for a big stone crusher a while back, bnt the machine has been useless to that city for soma time, because the ravenous monster ate 'up all the stone in sight in a few weeks. Thru City Attorney Joslyn North Crys­ tal Lake has secured the loan of the crusher, and it will at once be given a try out. The city has plenty of large gravel and small stone in its recently acquired gravel pit, and the intention is to try crushed stone in making smooth and reasonably durable roads around town, with the hope that they will be less dusty and more permanent than can be made from dirt and nncrnshed gravel. Plans are being considered for the establishment of a wireless telegraph plant on top of the new Northwestern station at Madison and Clinton streets. The wireless will be part of a system between Milwaukee and Chicago, which may be established on an elaborate plan as a supplement to the long distance telephone and the telegraph between these two points. The wireless station, with the electrification and great search­ lights to aii parte of the city, will be unique features of the new depot. The first-story work of the station isap proaching completion and architects say that the building will be finished next June, or six months in advance of the contract time. SOME SCHOOL STATISTICS.

Colby's eighty-seventh birthday anniversary and in honor of the event a family pic­ nic was enjoyed at McCollum's lake. The guests, most of whom came from Blgin, were met at the 10:80 train and immediately after conveyed to the beau­ tiful lake. At the noon hour the gath­ ering sat down to one of the grandest spreads ever served to a picnic crowd in this vicinity, all the seasonable good things to eat being served. The after­ noon was very pleasantly passed in social conversation and the numerous other things that usually go to make up a gathering of this nature. Mr. Colby was one of the happiest persons in the gathering, apparently enjoying the event as much or possibly more than the younger people present. Altho now In his eighty eighth year, he appears hale and hearty and the family hopes to see him enjoy many more anniversaries. Those who made up the gathering were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mead, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Joslyn and son, Paul, Ray Mead, all of Elgin; Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Moray, daughter, Villa, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Morey, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rogers and four children, Chicago; Mr. and Mra. Edward Martin of Wood­ stock; Mr. and Mrs. Guy G. Harrison and children, Mr. and Mrs. P. Flanders and Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Harrison of this place. The day will long be re- memb^rbd by all those who were for* Innate enough to be present.

Fred Rollo, of near Crystal Luke, kicked in the head by a horse twenty- Six years ago and whose mind has been a blank since, regained his mental fac­ ulties a few days ago after the hiatus when an itinerant surgeon performed an operation that has baffled many noted physicians and surgeons. The case is considered the most pe­ culiar and remarkable in the annals of the cocntry and the medical world is amazed, Since the day he waa Melted he has not been able to talk or nse his mental faculties. Today he possesses them and is living in the year 1888, instead of 1909. The ktoqr of the ease reads like a fairy tale, bnt It !| ynnched for by responsible persons who live in the vicinity and are familiar with the case in all its stagea. In the year 1868, Fred then a youth, went to pasture to catch a horse. He was armed with a pan of oats by means of which, he intended enticing the animal and then to plaoe the halter about its head. The animal was coaxed to the oats, bat, before eating any, switched around and planted its hoof in the youth's skull. Several honrs afterwards the victim was found unconscious. Phy­ sicians and surgeons were summoned. None were able to give relief. Special­ ists from all parte of the ooustry were solicited to come and attend the case. Some came, but were baffled. The med­ ical journals wrote of the case, telling how strange it was that the yonth did not loee physical strength. A few weeks ago a traveling physician and surgeon was in the vicinity and up­ on hearing of the case investigated. He asked fwrauewiou from the parents to perform an operation. The permission was giveft. lt declared that the nnfortnnate person would be better off dead than alive and tljere was a long chance that some re­ lief might be given. Preparations were made for the oper­ ation. The itinerant worked secretly, fearing- he might fail as others did. When he had the patient prepared for the strain, he worked in the presence of the immediate relatives and raised the part of the sknll that had been poshed out of place by the blow of the kick. Fred Rollo then spoke for the first time in more than a quarter of a cen­ tury. The first words he uttered were: "Did they catch the horse?" He is today living in a strange period. Everything gained by ns since the time he was injured is new to him. He is muddled, hat it is believed be can ap­ preciate the year he is living in after a short time. MARRIED AT ST.

Arvil Yager and James Sayler, the former employed at thejlepot and the latter by the Wilbur Ldfcber com pany, were the first to discover the blase and the alarm was at once given. Mayor F. H. Wattles and C. T. Eldredge were the first to respond to the alarm and soon had the blaze extinguished, A bnoket of water doing the desired work. Rags saturated with oil that lay on the outside of the building became ignited turu vue extreme heai is given as the cause of the blaze. Three of the hose carts reached the scene of the fire soon after the alarm was given, which speaks well for McHenry's volunteer fire fight­ ers. Had the blaze been given a few more minutes' time in which to spread, there is no telling what the result may have been, as the tanks contained hun­ dreds of gallons of kerosene and gaso­ line oil. Bad the tanks caught fire, the chances are that an enormous explosion would have been the result. McHenry can t»6 t hitnkfnt that the fire was ex­ tinguished before It had gained greater headway.

The bridal party entered the church to the strains of 'Lohengrin's wedding march and Mendelssohn's march was played as they left the altar, both being beautifully played *by Miss Lucy Sut­ ton. The bride was attended by her sister. Miss Alice Sutton, and the beet man was Fred H.~ Hoelscher, brother of the groom. The bride was beautifully attired in an empire gown of champagne Salome silk, trimmed with gold embroidered lace, and carried a bouquet of white sweetpeas. Her maid was dressed hi pongee shantung with lace trimming to match and carried pink sweet peas. Both wore beautiful picture hats of white leghorn. After the ceremony a wedding break­ fast was served at the home of the bride, to which only immediate rela­ tives were invited. This over, the bridal party drove to Crystal Lake, where they departed for an extended wedding trip, and will be at home to their friends after Sept. 1 at 1188 Perry St., Ravens wood. The groom is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hoelscher of 450 Ryerson Ave., Elgin, and is employed in the offices of the general freight department of the C. & N. W. Ry. His bride is the daughter of R. J. Sutton, .and well known»here, having made her home here until the past few years. For the past few years she has been employed as stenographer for the American Steel and Wire company of Chicago.

The visiting ladies arrived on the 10:17 morning train and were at once con­ veyed to the Hankermeyer home, where everything was in readiness for the day's entertainment. The home was very prettily decorated for the occasion in pink and white and presented a most hospitable appearance. At the noon hour a sumptuous repast served by the hostess was partaken of. After dinner the ladies were escorted thru our village by their jovial hoe teas, all places of more than ordinary importance being visited. In making the rounds of the village, Barbian Bros.' cigar factory was among the places visited, and we are-informed that some of the unmarried employes (including the proprietors) were made targets for some good na- tured jollying as handed out by the sight seers. The ladies returned to Austin on the 6:27 evening train, after having been royally entertained by the MoHenry hostess. Those present were Mesdames Ed.
