" OPEN MEETING IN M'HENRY Illinois Equal ft 11 (Trace Association Will Send Sptsken Here Next Tuesday. EXCHANGE GLEANINfSS. Under the auspices of the Illinois Equal Suffrage association an open air meeting will be held in McHenry next Tuesday afternoon, July 12, at 2:00 p. Where the meeting is to take place ad­ vance advice from the association does not Btate, but it is only natural that the central part of th© village will 1)6 chosen as the meeting place. We feel safe in stating that the Central opera honse corner will be the selected place. The speakers, who will travel in an automobile, will tour parts of Cook, McHenry, DeKalb, Do Pago, Lake and Boone counties. They will start the trip in a Stoddard Dayton machine kindly loaned them by the McDuffey Manufacturing Automobile company and will finish in a Win ton car thru courtesy of the Winton Motor Carriage company. The ladies will arrive in McHenry from Grayslake at about the noon hour. They will take dinner at one of the local hotels and be ready to open their meet­ ing at the appointed hour. The speak­ ing will take up considerable over an hour's time and the party will leave Mc­ Henry ror Woodstock at 15:30 p. in. Among the ladies to address the Mc­ Henry audience, which we sincerely hope will be largely attended, will be Mrs. Ella S. Stewart, president of the association, and an officer of the nation­ al organization. She is one of the asso­ ciation's most eloqnent and convincing speakers. Another speaker is Mrs. Catharine McCuIkpJi, one of tfte best known, best loved women in Illinois. She has made a name for herself in the legal profession and is a justice of the peace at Evan- ston, 111., and has done most earnest and u lselfiph work for the enfranchisement of women.

Let the people of McHenry turn ont and give the ladies a rousing reception. The ladies, especially, are asl^ed to turn oat in goodly numbers. The growth of our patronage is evi­ dence that the drug store service we give is the kind the public prefers. Pet- esc Li's. FATHER AND SON INJURED. Lewis Hansen anil Son Are Ruth Victims of Explosives the Fourth. Lewis Hansen, an employe at the Terra Cotta factory, and his ten year- old sou, who reside south of town on the Terra Cotta road, both fell victin § of explosives on July Fourth. The father, it appears, arose quite early on the morning of the Fourth and while engaged in shooting off large cannon crackers the accident occurred, which nearly cost him a hand. Mr. Hansen, holding a large cannon cracker in his right hand, after lighting it for­ got to throw it aside before it exploded. The explosion came within .an ace of tearing off two of his fingers, besides otherwise tearing his hand badly. Dr. A. Mueller was called in attem'f ance, and after an examination by the doctor it was found that the members could be saved. Every precaution is being used by the doctor in attendance to prevent blood poisoning or lockjaw and from his present condition it looks as if the victim will come out of the accident without any serious results. On the evening of the same day Mr. Hansen 's ten year old son also met with a very painful accident. THfe son was also eugaged in celebrating the Fourth when in some manner his overalls that he was wearing at the time caught fire and before the blaze was extinguished the boy's abdomen and the lower part of his body was very badly burned Dr. Mueller was again called into attendance and, while the boy is suffering a great deal of pain, it is thought be will re­ cover. "Foley Kidney Pills Have Cured Me." The above is a quotation from a letter written by H. M. Winkler, Evansville. Ind. "I contracted a severe case of kidney trounle. My back gave out and pained me.

Address Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay, Wis. Richmond Gazette: Th * appearance of hydrophobia in the dairy herd of Lou Fisher, who resides west of town near Stone's Corners, has caused the death of five of his best cows and a fur­ ther development of the disease in the balance of the herd is expected. The cows, it is supposed, contracted the disease from being bitten by the shep­ herd dog on the Fisher farm. There is a large crew of men putting the iron bridge on the cement founda­ tion, which was laid last fall, over the road leading to Crystal Lake from Al­ gonquin. This piece of road, where it passes under the North-Western rail way tracks west of Algonquin, was a •ery dangerous piece of road on account of automobile travel, but with the new bridge it will be safe, as vehicles from either direction will be able to see the approaching party. The farm buildings on the James Nicholls place north of Richmond wer$ totally destroyed by fire Saturday after noon, June !&>. The flames are sup posed to have started from a gasoline engine used )n the harn. Three horses, a quantity of hay and grain and some farm machinery were burned. All of the hoqsehold goods, which were moved to a place of safety, were saved and the tenant house and one barn on the oppo­ site side of the road also escaped. Earl Carrington of England has just purchased 10,000 more acres of western farming land in the United States, biinging his total holdings in this country up to 33,000 acres. The earl has made a name for himself in England and Austr&lia as a practical farmer. His holdings in: the United States con­ sist of the best farming property in Illinois, Iowa and Colorado. The earl is quoted by London papers as saying he exp««*!« keep on buying farm prop­ erty in the United States and Canada nntil the total reaches 100,000 acres. Rev. Cbaa. J. Bready, pastor of the Greenwood and Ring wood M. E. churches, has received a call from the official board of the M. E. church of Lowell, Mich., to become pastor of that congregation in September. As this is one of the important churches of the Michigan conference, the call comes as something of a compliment to the min­ ister. The official board of the Green wood church has taken steps to secure his return for a third year by voting an increase in salary and communicating to tbe district superintendent the desire of the congregation.

Sheltou, superintendent of the Crystal Lake schools, is a candidate for the office of county superintendent of schools, to succeed G W. Conn. Jr , who is now a candidate for congress The pupils and school patrons of this county are indeed fortunate in having so capable a man as a candidate for this administrative office and the teachers are to be commended in their practically unanimous choice of Mr. Shwlton. The office of county sup­ erintendent of schools has been and most continue to be of great value to 'the teachers in generating a professional spirit and in the developing of teaching powers. MAN OF HIGH CHARACTER The man who fHls this high office of trust and honor must have the true spirit of the teacher--a spirit that seeks not pecuniary emoluments, but desires to elevate above everything else the capabilities of the boys and girls, thru theteaohers, text boom, course of study, institutes and other instrumentalities of his office. The teaching profession is COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF A PER! 1L MATURE WH&M WE ENTERTAIN WHERE WE GO. AND » nuvu IK be a superintendent who is at the high level of thoro professional training. He should be a man to whom the teachers will gladly look as their nature! leader, a man to whom the parents may go for information concerning the welfare of their childreu, a man in whom school officers may confide confidence iu regard to their local schools. Mr. Khelton has been tried out iu most of these reqnire ments. The teachers have already placed their confidence and choice in him. and his work in our annual aud lo­ cal institutes, an a teacher in our schools, hie many addresses before the teachers in northern Illinois, his writiugs in magazines and other periodicals have proven Mr. Shelton a safe man for this responsible positi in. AN ILLINOIS PRODUCT. Mr. Sbelton is purely an Illinois prod­ uct, being born aud reared in this state and having received his education in Illiuois institutions. He is eminently qualified, as has been said, for this of fice, for his cbaraoter is beyond re­ proach, and from an educational stand­ point be has, perhaps, no superior in this count; He is a graduate of our state university at Champaign and has attended our state normal. In addition to this lie holds a state certificate, a dis­ tinction which few educators in this state enjoy. He has had eleven years' experience in teaching, having been superintendent of the Uniou schools of N uuda and Crystal Lake schools for the past seven years. Under his supervision the schools have steadily advanced nn­ til they now rank witb the foremost schools of their siae in tbe state. Mr. Shelton is a practical teacher, and the ^results of his teachings are shown by. the fact that the graduates of the Crys­ tal Lake B|gb school are meeting witb success as students in higher institu­ tions, as teachers, business men and practical farmers. He has always been greatly interested in tbe teaching of agriculture, for he believes that the proper appreciation of country life will do much toward keeping the boys and girls on the farm, where in the future there will be greater possibilities of de­ velopment than in the overcrowded cities. The election of a man of this type will mean that problems arising in the country as well as in tbeutty schools will receive their just share of consider­ ation. CANDIDATE OF NO FACTION. Mr. Shelton is not tbe eandidate of any political faction, as he believes that this office should be kept out of politics. The Plaindealer is of the same opinion, and furthermore believes that any fac­ tion of the Republican party that at­ tempts to draw this office into politios or to carry a candidate for this office thru by pooling him with a group of other candidates who have been select­ ed by political bossee will be condemned by the voters at the primaries. This office is distinctively an educational one. It has to deal with the future of oar boys and girls--not political issnes. The fact that Mr. Shelton has alpjost the unanimous endorsement of the, teachers of tbe county, who are well ac­ quainted with bis work, is overwhelm­ ing evidence of his fitness. That they believe him to be tbe best man for this position is shown by tbe following peti­ tion: "We, tbe undersigned, having in­ timate knowledge of tbe high stand ' 'ing of tbe schools of our county, be- iieve that their present efficiency "oan be maintained only by keeping, "as far as possible, the office of coun­ ty superintendent out of politics--a "sentiment in which those most active "in politics concur --and electing to "this high position a man of sterling "moral character, with.distinguished "educational qualifications and an em­ inently successful record in both "rural and city schools. Believing "that A. M. Sheltou, superintendent "of tbe Crystal Lake schools, is a man "who possesses these desirable quali- "fications for he,baa not only the "respect and confidence of the entire "teaching force of this county, bat "alao of the people in general who "are intimately acquainted witb him Continued on last page.; McHenry Kntertains a Large Company of Visitors During the Week--Whom We Kntertalii.
