Tbe figures, $50,000, are wrong, veare unable to say whether or not If MB article is correct. Another and a : rrect account of tbe suit appears else- 1 here in this issue: The West Hammond police foiled a | kidnaping plot yesterday involving a I J ),000 judgment in Judge Kavanangh's irt in Chicago and in restoring O. R. >ore, tbe oripplein whose favor tbe (judgment had bean secured, to bis . ; ?yer in time for him to appear in j court it is believed that one of the rankest conspiracies in which a coua- 1 puny was ever involved was uncovered. O. R. Moore, who lives ia McHenry, HI., was injured in an accident while he was employed by a construction com- p.any in Cook county, In this accident he lost &if eye, a leg and part of one hand. The case was tried in court and tbe plaintiff was awarded $50,000 damages. If tbe man had been killed not more than ten thousand dollars could have been col­ lected, but being very much alive and terribly maimed an enormous judgment against tbe company was secured. It was necessary that Moore appear in Judge Kavanaugh's court yesterday. It is said that the superintendent of the construction company, realising that $50,000 was at stake, planned and car­ ried out the kidnaping plot. In some manner Moore was drugged and hustled into an automobile. He was taken to West Hammond, where plans were to be made for taking him out of the jurisdiction of the oourt un­ til the judgment should have been for­ feited. In the automobile were three men, the driver and the crippled Moore. The plans of the trio might have carried had it not been for tbe fact that tbe auto­ mobile broke down in West Hammond st tbrea o'clock in the morning. A member of the party went to Ed­ ward Donley's saloon in West Ham­ mond and called up a Chicago party. Be explained that he had had an acci­ dent with the automobile and tbe con­ versation led Dunley to believe that the cripple in the car had been kid­ naped. Tbe saloonkeeper oouid not under­ stand why three men would want to kidnap a cripple, but his suspicions were aroused and he oalled the police. Officers Kulcbick and Kamp respond­ ed and made an investigation. They found that the cripple had been drugged. They at once took hlin from the car and managed to get him to tell them some­ thing about the trouble be was in. They then communicated with Moore's lawyer in Chicago, Attorney Smiley, and from him learned the facts about the kidnaping and reasons why it was done. They wire instructed to keep a careful watch over Moore and bring him into Chicago tbe next day for trial. It is understood that the of­ ficers were handsomely rewarded for their pains when Moore was taken into Kavanaugh's court yesterday. In the meantime, the men in the car, who should have been arrested on the charge of kidnaping, were allowed to leave the village and were not placed uder arrest.

McOmber, These combined exhibitions, which take place at tbe Union Stock Yardsi • icago, on the dates of November 22 to December 8, inclusive, bring together tiii 3 greatest aggregation of live stock i Fiat can be produced in any country in L -a world. The horse show this year occupies the dates of November 22, 28, 25 and 26, and the Live Stock Ex- sition, commencing on tbe same day it the horse show is brought to an end aiid extending to December 8, gives ex- aiturs at both, as well as the general blic, an opportunity of witnessing ese two extraordinary exhibitions thout extra expense or loss of time. Chicago, as the greatest live stock »rket of the world, during the dates i these shows, is the most interesting Ace on this continent to visit while e International Live Stook Exposition in progress, for not only does it bring gether by far the greatest number of ttle, sheep, swine and horses that could possibly be accumulated anywhere else, but it reveals the finest specimens of every breed represented, as well as all the champions of the respective domes­ ticated animals. By attending this ex­ hibition the breeder, feeder, stockman and farmer, as well as others who are interested in the live stook industry, can obtain more information and prac­ tical knowledge of live stock during the thirteen days of its continuance than is possible for them to obtain in any other way. The most renowned judges from old country, and the most expert in this, come together for the purpose of displaying the combined talents of both, and pronouncing judgment upon the various classes, that Is supreme and be­ yond appeal. The ordinary breeder has his ideas in regard to live stock, but when he stands near and sees the various classes pronounced upon by the best judges and greatest expert* the world can produce, and ia able to ascertain upon the spot why each judgments hn<fe been returned, he will b* the first to Ufi. f. «v>.8v tmvtctu WD ua3 M»1I@U Oil so many occasions, and how easy it is for him to make amends, and turn failure into sucoeea of the most pro­ nounced form, redeem the ground he has lost and make amends in the future that will not only make his name afe a breeder famous, but lengthen his bank account to a degree that hitherto seemed impossible. A pound of practioe is worth a ton of theory, and in no industry can this be turned into more gratifying results than it can in the live stock world. The breeder living at some distance from Chicago may say, "I do not see how I can afford the expense, much as 1 should like to make the trip and great­ ly as I feel its need." Let this good fellow cut down expenses in some other direction and attend tbe show at ail hazards, for it will pay him, and pay him doubly and trebly, for he will go back, not only full of enthusiasm,' but with a practical working knowledge in his head wherewith he can right the wrongs of former methods and start on the straight road to success.

SIMON STOFFEJL Insurance Agent for all classes of property in the best Companies West McHenry. illtaela It certainly looks like a big d ay for Woodstock and tbe farmers of McHenry county. We are referring to Saturday, Nov. 19. Systematic efforts are being put forth by all classes to make this tbe biggest event of tbe kind ever held in the county. Business men are being pressed into the service abd are taking bold vigorously to make the meeting tbe success that it deserves to be. Why should it be otherwise wben we are de­ pending almost entirely on the farmers prosperity for onr own prosperity ? Mc Henry is a rural county and relies npon agricultural pursuits for its very ex­ istence. This fact is becoming so ap­ parent that the Bankers' associations in various parts of the country are begin­ ning to take active steps in co-operating with the farmers' organizations in their efforts to increase tbe output of the farm. In some instances tbey are sap- plying better breeds of seed corn to the farmers in their respective localities. One of the leading bank ers of this coon ty has even gone so far as to suggest that the bankers themselves take tbe initiative in this movement that means so much for every citizen of tbe county. Acting npon this suggestion tbe various members of the executive committee of the county farmers' institute will con­ sult with the bankers and the leading business men of their respective local­ ities and urge them to join in tbe move­ ment. An advertising committee will be appointed in each township *of the county and they will devote a generous amount of time to spreading informa­ tion regarding tbe meeting ASSOCIATION OF BREEDERS. This is a comparatively new organi­ zation in McHenry county and repre­ sents an industry or. phase of dairy farming that is becoming more and more important every year and is in­ cluding a large number of our most progressive farmers. C. W. Harrison of Ring wood is the president and J. H. Turner of Hebron is the secretary. Th« town of Hebron has ten members in this association and some idea of tbt wealth represented in this side of dairy farming can be gained when we realize that today it is not uncommon to see a grade Holstein uow bring more tban a hundred dollars at a public sale. Hol­ stein cows that are registered have been sold in this county for as high as seven hundred dollars, and there are many cows in tbe registered herds of tbe conn ty that cannot be purchased for less tban five hundred dollars a bead. The association intends to invite a large number of their friends among the busi­ ness men as well as tbe farmers to this banquet. The corn contest will be another im­ portant feature of tbe meeting and every farmer is nraed to bring in ten of tbe best ears of corn that he has to the meeting An expert on corn will be present who will not only judge the corn, but will give a talk on different phases of tbe corn question. He will be there to assist tbe practical farmer in obtaining mdre information of a prao tical nature. The cnlinary contest will also be a feature' of tbe day. Representatives from various parts of tbe county from among the ladies of the county who have been active in the work of promot­ ing domestic science will be present at a meeting of the farmers' iustitute cbni mittee and will co operate with them in arranging for the wife's side of the pro­ gram. A tocai committee, composed o! Woodstock ladies, will arrange the matter of local accommodations for the visiting ladies and make arrangements far a piaoe to bold tbe culinary exhibit Bank of McHenry E5TABLI5HED 1888 This Bank receives deposits, pays 3 per cent interest on time depos­ its, extends all courtesies consist­ ent with good business principles and does a GENERAL BARKIM BUSINESS respectfully toileting public pat­ ronage. floney to Loan on real estate and other first class security.
