In the twenty-lap race at the River­ side rink on Thursday evening last there were six contestants, and the race was won by Frank Colby in two winnfcee and fifty-five seconds. The masqnerade on Saturday evening drew out a good crowd both of maskers and spectators. fMosgrove Bros, had the misfortune to be robbed last week of about one hun­ dred dollars in money and some valu­ able clothing, hosiery, etc. But Bill was a little too smart for the thief, &s he captured him at Crystal Lake, and recovered the money just as he was about to board the train for Chicago.

At the Riverside skating rink, on Sat­ urday evening last, the ring race was won by Miss Kate How,e. A fine boy arrived at the home of Jos. Buss on Monday last. Who says our population is not increasing? The McHenry Dramatic club are re­ hearsing for the comedy of the "Ger­ man Baron," which they propose to bring out about the first of May. At the examination of teachers held in this village on Thursday last by Superintendent Barber, a class of fifteen presented themselves for examination. Our sportsmen have been bringing in quite a number of ducks the past few days, and the prospects are that shoot­ ing will be good in the course of a week or ten days. The McHenry Bride company Me making arrangements to commence work as soon as the weather will permit and will push the work with vigor this season. A ten pound boy arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Going this Wed nesday morning. Another grey hair added to our head. Verily, grandpa's ' 'honors are easy." Capt. Walter Hill is now tynsy put ting the steamer "Mary Griswold" in running order, and by the time the ice is out of the lakes., will have her reAdy to make the regular trips. July 1 the new postal law goes into effect, changing the unit of weight of letter postage from one-half ounce so that no extra postage will be charged on letters up to one ounce. On Thursday last the ice suddenly and quietly moved down the river: and now the Fox is clear with the exception of a few placee near the shore. The thaw has been gradual and no trouble from high water has been experienced this season. We learn that many improvements are going on at Fox Lake this spring Lehman, of Chicago, is putting up large hotel, quite a number of cottages are being built, and everything looks as if it would be the liveliest season known at these lakes. In time Fox and Pista- qua lakes are bound to be the most pop­ ular summer resorts in the Northwest, Large catches of fish have been made through the ioe on the different lakes in this vicinity the past week. Several parties have brought in two hundred and two hundred and fifty pounds each The fish are plump, hard and fat, and much finer than those caught in warm weather. The mania has been general and an inquiry for any individual who could get away from business, for the past few days, was met with the answer 'gone a fiBhing." The entertainment by the teachers and pupils of the West Division of our puplic school, which took place on Mon­ day and Tuesday evenings, was well attended and highly appreciated by all. In short it waB an exhibition of drill and training of which Mr. Vasey might well be proud. It was one of the finest home entertainments ever given in this village. Where all done so well we shall not attempt to particularise. At the close of the entertainment on Tues­ day evening Hon. F. K. Granger, in behalf of the patrons of the school, pre­ sented Mr. Vasey with a full set of encyclopedias, fifteen volumes, as slight token of their regard and appre­ ciation of his efforts and success as a teacuer. It was a well merited com' pliiqent to an able and efficient teacher. Would Have Coat Him Hi* Life.

Bergen, PresM Walter Morris, secre­ tary, is announced for April 17 at Woodstock. Among the unusual fea­ ture® of their program is a pastor's con­ ference on the Relation of the Church and Sunday School, to be presided over by a layman. ^ The temperance superintendent for the county, Rev. William A. Cross, of North Crystal Lake has the Interna­ tional and the various denominational pledge cards and plans for temperance organizations of all kinds for the Sun­ day schools which he will gladly furnish to any Sunday school wishing anything of the sort. In the removal of Mr. ^George Osmun to California the Sunday school work of McHenry county has lost a faithful worker of many years standing, Nun- da township has lost its president, and the Methodist Episcopal Sunday school of Crystal Lake has lost one of the best superintendents in the county. We trust the Master has work for him In his new home and we wish him a pleas­ ant association with new friends and improved .health for himself and his family. Several schools are beginning more or less of the new International graded work on next Sunday. Those superin­ tendents and teachers who have not in­ vestigated this new series should write their respective publishing houses for a prospectus. The best workers of all the denominations have been engaged to work out the preparation of a series of lessons which shall avoid the misfits necessarily incident to a single lesson for the whole school. The Woodstock M. E. Junior, the Woodstock Baptist and the McHenry M. E. Primary are some who are trying these courses for the coming quarter. A Night Alarm Worse than an alarm of fire at night is the metallic cough of croup. Careful mothers keep Foley's Honey and Tar in the house and give it at the first sign of danger.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twanty«ffour hours; a brick dust sedi­ ment, or settling, stringy or milky appearance often indicates an un­ healthy condi­ tion of the kid-' neys; too fre­ quent desire to pass it or pain in ympf the kidneys and bladder are out of order and need attention. What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills almost every wish in correcting rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver , bladder and every part of the urinary passage. 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 ne­ cessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-SRofsit is soon realized. It stands the highest be­ cause of its remarkable health restoring prop­ erties. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in fifty-rent and one-dollar sizes. You may have a sample bottle sent free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing- hamton, N. Y. Mention this paper and rememberthename, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle. Home ot Swamp-Hoot. Capt. Boffardua Again Hits the Hall'* Eye. This world famous rifle shot who holds the championship record of 100 pigeons in 100 consecutive shots is living at Lin­ coln, 111. Recently interviewed, he says:-7"I have suffered a longtime with kidney and bladder trouble and have used several well known kidney medi­ cines, all of which gave me no relief un­ til I started taking Foley's Kidney Pills. Before I used Foley's Kidney Pills I was subjected to severe backache and pains in my kidneys with suppression and oftentimes a elondy voiding. While upon arising in the morning I would get dull headaches. Now I have taken three bottles of Foley's Kidney Pills and feel 100 per cent better. I am never bothered with my kidneys or bladder and once more feel like my own self. All this I owe solely to Foley's Kidney Pills and alwayB lecoinmend them to my fellow sufferers." Frank Masque- let. At the Central Opera House. W. F. Mann has attained an enviable reputation in the field of theatrical management because his ventures have been successes.

Mr. Mann has engaged a splendid oast, comprised of such well known actors as Miss Maudesse Devere and Madge Thurston and supported by others well known in the theatrical world. No Substitute.
