MILLER. 18 ANYTHING BUT A JOKE. From rural residents the writer is informed that someone in McHenry is about to get himself into a heap of trouble some of these days. Numer­ ous complaints have been ma&e of late that somepne (or possibly more than one) has acquired the insane habit of unhitching horses while the qwners are attending to business matters about the village. One rural resident in­ forms us that her horse has been found untied on quite a number of different occasions during the past few weeks and on one occasion the entire harness had been readjusted on the animal. The work is no doubt that of a young­ ster or youngsters, and it is up to the parents to remind their boys of the great trouble that they are subjecting themselves to by performing such acts as these. The police of the village have been asked to watch these young­ sters and make arrests. Boys, better be careful in the future. EXECUTOR'S NOTICE. Mullen & Hoy. Attorneys.

According to reports of secret ser­ vice men, there is a large quantity of counterfeit money in circulation in the central west, especially near Chicago and Milwaukee.

The bill is as follows: "That it shall be unlawful for any city, village, incorporated town, county or other corporate au­ thority in the state of Illinois by ordi­ nance, rule or regulation other than may be established by the law of this state to demand, fix, establish or re­ quire the tuberculin test to be applied to dairy animals as a means or meas­ ure of regulating and purifying milk, skimmed milk, cream ucts of said animals whatever, and every rule, by-law or regulation heretofore or hereafter passed, demanded, fixed, established or required by any such city, village, incorporated town, coun­ ty or other corporate authority other than the state of Illinois, is hereby declared to he void and of no effect." and dairy prod- in any manner ordinance, such BORDEN OFFICIAL QUITS JOB. John H. Marsh, general superintend­ ent of the route department of the Borden Condensed Milk company, has resigned his position and has already been succeeded by F. A. Beale. Mr. Marsh's resignation was voluntary and due to old age. His j>osition was a strenuous one, with great responsibili ties in addition to a quantity of arduous details, which proved to be too great a strain on him. The retiring officer came West from Brooklyn about eighteen years ago. He has made sev­ eral visits to the McHenry plant. FOR SALE. ('lean seed wheat at cost, the kind that makes good flour. McHenry Mills. Petesch's for drugs. The plan of pensioning aged em­ ployes is proving rather expensive to the Chicago & North Western railroad. Since the pension system was inaugu­ rated Jan. 1, 1901, the railroad com- puny has paid out nearly a million dol­ lars. At the present time the North West­ ern has 590 pensioners on its rolls and pays them nearly $15,000 a month. This is an average of $25 a month each. There were 118 pensions granted in 1910 and sixty pensioners died during that year. Thus, practically one-half of the pensioners for the year were re­ moved- The plan is proving quite successful and old-time employes of the railroad are deriving much good from it. Men who spent the best years of their life in the service of the company now re­ ceive a pension in their declining years, the same as a soldier who fought for his country. i There are but a few railroads in the United States where the pension fund plan has been inaugurated and for the most part they are the larger roads. The companies have found that by adopting the plan they can get better efficiency out of their men than they could if the employes had nothing to look forward to. Under the present plan the employes feel that if they serve the company well that they may retain their positions and when they are no longer able to work they may retire and draw a pension. This plan is becoming quite general and it is felt that the time is not far distant when every railroad in the country, big or little, will have adopt­ ed the plan, not only for the sake of humanity, but because of the better service they get out of their employes. A million dollars is a large amount to pay out in ten years, but it is very little for a large railroad corporation and the company evidently feels that the money is well expended. WIRE THIEF KILLED. Relribuliuu overtook one wire thief in Chicago last week. An unidentified man, roughly attired and wearing a handkerchief around his neck, was found dead one afternoon last week on a bank of the drainage canal at North Kedzie and Pratt avenues, Rogers Park. He had been electrocuted. The body lay near a pole from which the copper feed wire had been cut. His right hand was burned. Thf police believe the man was assisting others to cut the wire and that his accomplices abandoned him and hurried away with their booty. About 300 feet of wire had been stolen. Employes of the sanitary district's power house discov­ ered early in the morning something had happened to the wire and investi­ gated. ALSO A CASEY. A countryman visiting Dublin for the first time took a seat in a tram. Being next to a pompous-looking swell, he commenced conversation in a rather free and easy style. At length the mighty one said: "My good man, re­ serve your conversation for one of your own equals. I'd have you to know I'm a K. C." At this the countryman stood tip with outstretched hands, ex­ claiming, "Shake hands, namesake; I'm a Casey myself." CORN CONTRACTS.
