There will be a novelty and clay pigeon shoot at the McHenry driving park on Saturday next, Jan 18, at which time liberal cash prizes will fee offered and "dead loads of fntt." Shoot iug to commence at 10 o'clock. The prizes for. the best lady skater, offered by the Riverside skating rink during holiday week, were awarded as follows: First prise to Miss Maggie Clark; second to Miss Mamie Lam* phere. The potato race was won by Howard Perry. The ice crop is being rapidly harvested on the pond this week, and by Satnrday night nearly if not all the ice houses in the village will be filled. The build­ ings of Shedd & Co., we believe, are full of old ice, consequently they will not pot np any here this winter. The ice now being cut is of very fine quality. The wife of Joseph Freund, who for­ merly kept the meat market near the bridge in this village, but lately resided in Chicago, died quite suddenly at the residence of her father, Wrn. Frett, near Johns burgh last week. She was sick with typhoid fever, but was cot consid­ ered dangerous until a few hours before her death. There are some people who go to Chi­ cago for photographic work, but it is safe to say that none ever have after once giving L. EL Bennett, of this vil­ la®,, a chance to show what he can do.

The lovers of the play will be glad to learn that J. F. Breyer's Comedy com pany will open for a season of "three nights at Grand halt, Parker House, on Monday evening next, Jan. 12, at which time the talented and charming actress, Maggie Breyer, will appear in her beau­ tiful rendition of the play of "Dora, or the Farmer's Iron Will." This com­ pany need? no recommendation from us as they have before appeared before a McHenry audience and are well and favorably known here, and we predict for them full houses. During their stay they will bring out some of the most popular dramas and farces of the day, and no lover of the play should fail to visit Grand hall every evening.

The new class Z engines, recently, purchased in large numbers by the Northwestern company, have failed to stand the test of actnal use on the road. Their failure is not admitted by the officials of the company, but it is a mat­ ter of common knowledge among rail­ road men. The chief difficulty lie* in the failure to provide sufficient steam capacity in the new engines. The crown sheets are too high and there is not sufficient space for steam above the water. This causes the machines to fail when carrying a load, and to use too much water in maintaining steam. This fact has been proven a hundred times by the experi«Doe of enginemen with them on the road. It is also stated that the actual capacity of the water tenders of these engines is about 6,800 gallons, instead of the specified 7,600, A Wild Blizzard Raging brings danger, suffering--often deattb-» to thousands, who take colds, cooghs and lagrippe--that terror of Winter and Spring.

Richmond Gazette: Forty years a school teacher in McHenry county is the distinction enjoyed by Rev. William Nickle of Chicago, a former resident of this community. Mr. Nickle came out from the city last week to attend the dedication of the Methodist church at (Greenwood, having a prominent place on the program at the dedication ser­ vices, and during his stay enjoyed a visit of a few days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Barnard at Barnard's Mills. In reciting incidents connected wit^i bis residence in this county Mr. Nickle said: "For forty years I fol­ lowed the vocation of school teaching in McHenry county, twenty-eight years of that time at Ringwood and seven years at McHenry. In addition to this I served fonr years as county superin­ tendent of schools and for fifteen years was pastor of the old Methodist church at Greenwood." The record made by Mr. Nickle is one that will be hard to equal, for in point of continuous service he ranks as the oldest of McHenry county's school teachers, a distinction of which he is justly proud. Mr. Nickle, who noaw makes his home with his son in Chicago, is getting well along in. years, having celebrated his eighty- third birthday anniversary on Deo. 24 A Traveling; Salesman H. F.

Almost everyone knows of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, be­ cause of its remark­ able health restoring properties. Swamp- Root fulfills almost every wish in over­ coming rheumatism, pain inthe back, kid­ neys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get np many timei daring the night. Swamp-Root is not recommended for everything but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble, it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been thor­ oughly tested in private practice, and has proved so successful that a special ar­ rangement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not al­ ready tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root, end how to find out, if you have kid­ ney or bladder trouble. When writingmention reading this generous offer in this paper and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Hem* ci Sv> rtmp-KooU Biughamton, N. Y. The regular iiftv-cent and one-dollar size bottles are sold by all druggists. Don't make any mistake but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the* ad­ dress, Bingham ton, N.

Qood Dramatic Ci lticlnm. , The late Richard M ansfield always felt that he pwed more to the wise discern­ ment and stanch support of the Chicago Record-Herald than to any other agency, outside himself, that contributed to bin ultimate trinmph as an actor. Ask any disinterested observer of theatrical matters today who is the best dramatic critic in Chicago, and ten to one he will say James O'Donnell Bennett of the Chicago Record-Herald. Mr. Bennett is unquestionably the leading critic in the West. He writes with a fearless and a keen appreciation of real merit that makes his articles a genuine force for the betterment of the stage His knowledge of the history and principles of dramatic art is sufficient to lend depth to bis utterances, yet he has the news­ paper man's knack of making his work breezy and interesting for the average man and woman. His columns are al­ ways newsy as well as reliable in their judgments. Anyone who will follow the dramatic, musical, literary and art de­ partments of The Chicago Record-Her­ ald from season to season need have no fear about keeping abreast of all that is latest and fines! in tW movement of modern culture.
