W ith the above headings the Aurora Daily Beacon of August 12 in speaking of a Copley meeting said: "Witl>Co*>n scouts hovering on the outside ready to distort bis speech if the opportunity presented itself, Colonel 1. C. Copley, candidate for congress from this district, addressed two overflowing meetings in the first ward last night, the first one at Collins street and Chase aveuue and the other at the Crescent club, Jackson street and Parks avenue. "Five hundred voters were ,crowded into the Crescent club rooms with »» many more standing outside, when At­ torney Edward Corlett opened the meet ing at that place. He contrasted the platforms upon which Mr. Copley and Mr. Conn stand and pointed out the danger of placing a man in office who was affiliated with men who fix the price of legislation. "He told how Mr. Copley had made a study of the great economic problems of this country until .-he w asln a position to do the most good for the greatest number of people in thin congressional district. t*OPULAR PLANK. "Mr. Copley's employers' liability plark showed the fairness of the man, according to the speaker. No less a persohage than Senator Burton of Ohio had endorsed the measure, and it has also received the approval of the entire press of the country. "Justus Johuson, circuit clerk of Kane county, a man who has known Mr, Copley sines boyhood, tis'd of the latter's loyalty to his friends and the early struggle for a living made by the congressional candidate. " 'I know that Mr. Copley's platform represents his ideas on public questions, because long before this campaign opened he talked with me on the same subjects many times,' said Mr. John­ son. A BIG HEARTED MAN. "To illustrate Mr. Copley's feeling for young men who are striving to get ahead in the world, Mr. Johnson told a story that touched the audience deeply. "The son of a prominent attorney of Kane county was attending the Univer­ sity of Illinois and when he returned home be asked his father what kind of a man Colonel Copley was. His father told him he was an energetic, capable business man who was true to his friends. "The son replied that his roommate, whose mother was a poor widow in Aurora, had told him that Mr. Copley was paying his way thru school and was doing the same for six other boys in this district. COPLEY (JETS OVATION. "While Mr. Johnson was speaking Mr. Copley appeared and the ovation be received lasted for several jninuteH. "Many times during his speech he wife interrupted by applause that shook the building and could be heard as far away as Collins street. "He outlined his platform and gave a history of his life. The abuse and vili fication that he has endured in the newspapers controlled by Mr. .Snapp and Mr. Hopkins were referred to and also the history and development of the gas company. "When he made the statement that the prosperity of the people of the eleventh congressional district was hi* prosperity and their adversity was his loss the audience realized that the re­ ports in machine papers were campaign mud used to befog the real issues. "After the meeting the voters crowd­ ed around Mr Copley to shake his hand and assure him of their support it was nearly eleven o'clock before the candi­ date was able to leave the hall. "Yesterday afternoon Mr. Copley at­ tended the Caledonian picnic at Tbeiler's park. In the evening he spoke at an­ other large meeting at 522 West Marion street. Tonight he has been invited to address the members of the North East­ ern avennp Republican club in Martin's hall, 500 Meeker avenue ." Bl( Circuit Nmt ttattiirdAjr. Not the least feature of the great Dode Fisk shows is the grand free street parade which takes place at noon daily.

An exchange asks, "What has come of the man who used to light his pipe with a coal from the cook stover" and has been answered by the Columbia Herald, as follows: "It's eaxy enough The old man has parsed over the river at the age of ninety eight; hi» son is puffing a 10-cent cigar, and the grandsou rolls his own cigarettes and lights them with a popping match--but he'll never see ninety eight " Mrs. A.

At a meeting of the East Dundee fins iness Men's association the matter of oiling the streets in the business section was discussed at great length. It was decided to ask permission of the village hoard and maice arrangements with the Standard Oil company to do the job after they have finished oiling the course for the big Elgin auto race. The com­ pany furnishes and places the oil on the roads for a trifle over 8 cents per gallon. The thirty day fast of Miss Ruby Dale of Elgin is one of the longest on local records. The fast was begun with the idea <>f overcoming digestive troubles by fasting until there was a craving for food For twenty five days she kept the voluntary fast and when the crav­ ing came she was unable to eat and since then even water cannot be taken into her stomach -She has been taken to Sherman hospital and doubt is ex pressed regarding her recovery.

The drought was broken by a rainstorm of two inches, and after that eight inches fell in the mouth of September.

At least all the hotel proprietors along the river and at the lakes report an excellent busi­ ness. George J Sayers thin week launched one of the largest as well as speediest motor boats that now graces the waters of Pistjikee. It is a thirty-five footer and is driven by a sixty-five horsepower Sterling engine. The craft is by far one of the niftiest boats now on ths lakes. As one of the chief attractions for the season at the Central opera bouse is underlined ".lust a Woman's Way," WMich will appear next Sunday evening, August 21 This is an extremely inter esting drama from the pen of Sidney W. Pascoe. The characters appearing during the action of the piece evince careful study, as do the thrilling situa­ tions which are just sufficiently removed from the blood curdling to avoid alarm­ ing the more aesthetically inclined. Next Sunday afternoon, August 21, a free for-all motor boat race will take place at Pistakee Lake for a beautiful cup donated by the popular proprietor of the Mellin summer resort, S. J. Mel- !:n The race will be started at 2:80 p in., while trial racing will begin one hour earlier. The race will start and finish in front of the Mellin House pier, where a good view of twe event, as well as the entire lake, may be had. These races of late are drawing a large list of entries and it is safe to say that a large number of boat owners will enter their craft next Sunday. A general invita­ tion is extended the public and Mr. Mellin is preparing to entertain an im­ mense crowd. Suuday afternoon Frank Michling, a Chicago boy, was swimming in L%ke Catherine with two companions, after diving, he waa seized with oi^a^i|j«| and, before his companions conlcT^f rive at bis side, he sank and was drowned. The companions, also bath­ ers, had shoved their oars under the seat while they had been diving and the belief is the boy would have been saved had they been able to get to him quick­ ly. PISTAKEE YACHT;CL,UB CXXTNTRY FAIR. One of the biggest, brightest, most interesting, exciting and entertaining social functions ever undertaken in this vicinity will be the Pistakee Yacht club country fair, which will take place on the Pistakee Yacht club's grounds at Pistakee Bay on Saturday afternoon and eveuiug, September 3. No such elaborate affair has ever be­ fore been undertaken in this part of the state and the eveut will be given to raise funds for the buildiug of a more commodious club house for the club that has undertaken to give the event. At a meeting of club members last week Geo. J. Sayer was elected general director of the fair, while be will have the assistance of the following staff: Commodore James Pugh, F/ank B Edelmau, A li. Beck, Fred L. Wilk, Admiral Joseph Haas, A. McAnsh, Chief Deputy Sheriff C. W. Peters and Senator William Loriuier. Frank L. Pasdeloup will act as secretary of the fair and William Lawton will act in the capac­ ity of aasistaut secretary. Those having tlft event in charge are planniug to make this oue grand gala day. Thousands of dollars' worth of prizes will be given away during the afternoon and eveuiug, and no one liv­ ing within a radius of a dozen miles can well afford to uiiss it. The club house has already been turned over to expert decorators who are fitting the place up to a queen's tadte for the big event. The building and grounds will also be rnQst brilliantly illuminated. Owing to lack of space we cannot this week go into detail regarding the gigan­ tic event, but will do so in next week's issue, when we will give the many at­ tractions, the donators of prizes and the many other interesting events that are billed to take place. THE LOCKWOOD ASH CUP Is Won by -Jewal C," Owned by C. 1 long of Chicago. OUR WEEKLY ?!0SHK»t A large and very enthusiastic crowd of spectators was present at the motor boat races on Fox river last Sunday afternoon, when the "Jewel C," owned and driven by C. Furlong, won the Lock wood Ash cup, for which the third heat and tie was run. The attendance and the exceptionally large number of entries were a great surprise to the members of the club, all of which go a long way in encourag­ ing the sport The third heat for the Lock wood Ash cup was a beauty and the finish, a most interesting one, furnished plenty of ex sitement for the large gathering. The race was started promptly on time and the conditions were that the first boat to cross the line would be declared the winner. The "Ekl," very capably han­ dled by the Hunter boys was the first to cross the given point, so consequently carried away the honor of winning the third heat. The race was only one time around the old course. As the first beat for this cup^was won by the "Mary Magdalena," owned by John Scher- manu; the second by the "Jewel C," owned by C. Furlong, and the tnird by the "Ed," owned by the Hnnter boys, it was necessary to run off the tie, which, as previously stated, was won by the "Jewel C." The entries and fin­ ishing time of the first race follows: Ed Hunter Boys... Mury Magdalena.J. N'hermann Myrtle b\ H. Hchau .. Sharpshooter. L. Armstrong... Comet Elltert. .. Charley . . Jewel cj ..

The Rose, Thistle, Eleanor and Ajax did not finish. At the completion of the races all captains were called to the judges'stand and a vote taken on running the club's full course next Sunday, i. e., from judges' stand to buoy No. 1 at Howell's Villas, then to buoy No. 7 at Emerald Park, finishing at judges'stand. It was, with only one exception, voted to use the full course for all future races, be­ ginning with next Sunday's matinee. It was also agreed that each new trial card submitted to the racing committee be witnessed by Cbas. Rietesel, who was unanimously agreed upon to act in the capacity of official timer, at an ex­ pense of about 26 cents to the boat own­ er. By this iqpthod each and every boat ownef may feel safe that his neigh­ bor's trial time is absolutely correct^. In view of the fact that the races, be­ ginning with next Sunday's perform­ ance, will be run over the clnb's full course, it is only natural that the judges expect a larger list of entries from now on, and especially do they expect more of the torpedo type boats to report. Three prizes are again offered for nest Sunday's race. The first, a hand some electric search light, has been do­ nated by the business men of the old town; the second, an order for an $8.00 pair of pants, donated by J. D.
