Current events will be given this week by Ethel Harrison, Mamie Buss and Edward Freund of the ninth gra^lei. Friday the McHenry high school boys are going to Richmond, where they expect to win their ninth game of basket ball. The boys will be pleased to have some of their (friends there to cheer for them. The members of the eighth grade were tested with a list of 1000 words during last month. The following have the highest grades: Mary Bonslett, 100; Leonore Freund, 99J; Helen Web er, 99f; Germer Petesch. Altho the Caesar class has been few in numbers, yet this week they have been reduced to half the original, which leaves but two to tell the story, In their clash with Caesar They are apt to get the fever.

Renehan of Round Lake has made extensive plans for the im provement of his hotel property at that place this summer. He has just finished a deal whereby he purchased the Maryland hotel and cottages and four acres, which, added to his old hotel site, makes a total of twenty acres on the lake. His plan is to con solidate the two hotels, running both each summer and will rent out tin cottages. He will be able to accom modate 150 persons in the hotels by next summer. The plans include a fine bathing beach and house, new gravel roads into the property and con vert the whole lake boundary into a first-class resort, with candy booths, soft drink booths, etc. The new place will l>e known as the Avon Park hotel and cottages. FALLS VICTIM TO THIEVES. S. W. Bends of Coal City, Ala., has a justifiable grievance. Two thieves stole his health for twelve years. They were a liver and kidney trouble. Then Dr. King's New Life Pills throttled them. He's well now. Unrivaled for Constipation, Malaria, Headache, Dys pepsia. 25c. N. H. Petesch and F. Masquelet. Whooping cough is the prevailing malady at Hebron and many children in that village are numbered among its victims, the extent of the sickness from this cause bordering on an epi demic. Rogers Hall, a fine new school build ing which has just been completed as an addition to the equipment of Todd seminary at Woodstock, was dedicated Sunday, Jan. 29. It is 82x54, turn story and basement. A deal was practically closed last week between the Borden Condensed Milk company and J. M. Carey, in hich the InOTufn cWnniiny D6COIH6 the owners of the old mill, water right and electric light plant at Genoa Junc tion. A voluntary reduction of 5 cents per thousand feet in the price of gas was made last week by officials of the Western United Gas and Electric com pany, giving to the consumers in Kane, Will, McHenry and DuPage counties, 95 cent gas, net. An all day wolf hunt near Kirkland last week resulted in the killing of a huge grey timber wolf weighing 42 pounds. It was the first timber wolf to be killed in the vicinity in years and farmers of that section are at a loss to know where he came from. Harry Johnson, son of Theodore Johnson of Capron, and his uncle, Frank Johnson, killed a bald-headed eagle recently. The boys saw the big bird light on a dead calf in the 'Henry L. Johnson pasture, and crept up with in easy range. The eagle was a large one, measuring 7 feet and.5 inches from tip to tip of its wings. Messrs. Spencer Otis and Benjamin Buxton, two Chicago millionaires who own farms and summer homes near Barrington, have offered to erect and completely furnish and equip a modern building for a Young Men's Christian association, providing the young men of Barrington show enough interest and appreciation to support it. Farm land and buildings in the state of Illinois doubled in value between the years 1900 anc} 1910, according to the first statement'df Census Director Durand relative to agricultural statis tics of Illinois. The average value of farm land and buildings per acre in 1910 is given as 2108.13 as against $53.84 in 1900, a rise of $54.29, or ldl per cent. The first car operated by gasoline power Mid actually used commercially for the transportation of passengers was exhibited in Chicago last week. It is used by the Woodstock and Syca more Traction company on the sixteen miles of track between Genoa and Syca more, all of the line that is now ready for business. The car has a possible speed of ninety miles an hour. The board of education of Saginaw, Mich., has adopted a rule allowing girl graduates only one commencement gown to cost not more than five dollars and the graduates of the LaCrosse, Wisconsin, high school have tabooed the expensive graduation gown, the girls having voted to wear black skirts and white shirt waists at the gradua tion exercises. May their example be followed in many schools. It will be a surprise to many to learn that Illinois is becoming a great oil producing state, which resumed her continuous growth in oil production in 1910, after the relapse of 1909. The estimated production for the year is .'15,000,000 barrels as against 30,898,339 in 1909, and 33,685,106 in 1908. The increase was due indirectly to general market conditions and the ability of various pipe lines to cope with the supply. Smoking of cigarettes has been tabooed in two departments at city hall at Elgin. Health Officer Adolph Fischer, acting the role of Mrs. Lucy Page Gaston, has started a crusade against the habit in the city hall. He says there will be no more cigarettes smoked in his office and he has already won Chief of Police Frank Gahan over to his way of thinking. Mr. Fischer is radical in his denunciation of the cigarette smoking habit. He states that it is worse than the drink habit and that he would rather fight a con tagious epidemic than the cigarette plague. Woodstock Republican: A. B. Pratt, senior member of the firm of A. B. Pratt &, Son, the well known market- men, died last week Friday in a room in the J. J. Murphy block, whither he had been taken after having been seized with a severe fainting spell while participating in a social gather ing of the Masonic order on the floor above. Mr. Pratt sat conversing with friends in Masonic hall, waiting for the program to begin, when suddenly he was attacked with paralysis or some kipdred disease. Physicians were im mediately summoned, but he died ere help arrived. PROBA TE NEWS [Furnished by McHenry County Company. Woodstock, Illinois.

At a meeting of the village board on Monday evening last, two village marshals were appointed, H. E. Wight- man on the East Side and Cris Hudson on the West Side. * The street committee is having the sidewalks on the main streets and to the school houses cleared of snow and ice. This is a good move and one that will receive the commendation of our citizens. Died--At Millville, Calif., Jan. 5, 1886, Mrs. Lode ma Long, aged seventy- seven years. Mrs. Long was a sister of E. M. and O. W. Owen of this vil lage and was one of the first settlers in the town of McHenry. At a meeting of the village board on Monday evening^ a resolution was passed instructing the marshals to ar rest all boys found throwing snowballs at teams or persons on foot within the corporate limits of the village. The board means business and will insist that this resolution be enforced. The boys will take due notice or suffer the consequencess GROOM OR 75 WEDS WOMAN OF 40 THEODORE WORTS OF VOLO AGAIN MAR RIED. LIFE SAVED AT DEATH'S DOOR. "I never felt so near my grave," writes W. R. Patterson of Wellington, Tex., "as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 100 ]>ounds, in spite of doctor's treatment for two years. My father, motheV- and two sisters died of consumption, and that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King's New Discovery, which com pletely cured me. Now I weigh 187 jxjunds and have been well and strong for years." Quick, safe, sure, it's the best remedy on earth for coughs, colds, lagriDpe, asthma, croup, and all throat and lung troubles. 50c and tl.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by N. Petesch and F.

Worts, aged 75, and Mrs. Sophie Rasch, aged 40, both of Volo, Lake county, were today granted a license to marry and the knot was tied in Chicago later in the day. The marriage is interesting as Worts is the aged man who last summer sued hia son to recover property which he signed over to the son on promise of being cared for the rest of his life. He finally settled with the son, getting back about-half what he claimed was due him. He is also the man who a few years ago married a second or third wife and they had "an awful time," the case in courts here proving very sensational, because the aged man claimed that she married him for his money, that she was not divorced from her first husband, etc. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. , Council Rooms, Feb. 6, 1911. jtThe board of trustees met in regular meeting with President Wattles pre siding.
