Smith is fast approaching completion and will be the handsomest residence in town. Thomas Noonan, one of Chicago's boss policeman, has been spending a few days with friends in this village and vicinity. By Washington despatches we learn of the following Tnew postmasters ap pointed in this county during the. past week: Algonquin, John W. Adamek; Ringwood, Miss Frances Ingalls. On Friday next is the day set for the hanging of the murderer Dacy and un­ less the governor again interferes he will pay the penalty of his crime on that day. Preparations are now being made at Woodstock for his execution. Miss Hattie Story, Miss Amy Owen and Miss Lizzie Patterson are in camp at Pistakee Bay under the name of the "Three Little Maids From School," having named their pretty little camp "Titipu." We all admire the fine por­ traits of them which they exhibit near their tent. By the kindness of F. G. Meyers we are able to give the following school census of this town: Number of males between 6 and 21 years, 372. Number of females, 338. Total number between tijand 21 years, 710. Number of males under 21 years of age, 551. Number of females 529. Total number of persons under 21 years of age 1080. Miss Carrie Gribla of Chicago, who is boarding at the Riverside House, accidentally shot herself in the foot with an air gun one day last week. Drs. Fegers and Howard were calle'd and were obliged to cut the ball from the bottom of her foot. The wound was a severe and painful one, but at present she is getting along nicely. Died--At the residence of his son-in- law, Robert H. Sherburne, on Friday, July 9, 1886, Ira Colby, aged 82 years. Mr. Colby was one of the oldest set­ tlers in this town and was a man high­ ly honored and respected by all who knew him. He has held several offices of honor and trust in this town. He was the father of Henry, Newell and O. C. Colby. Rev. Mrs. Lyman Stilson from Jef­ ferson, la., is visiting McHenry for the first time and is a guest at the Wheel­ er farm. Mrs. S. was baptised by Rev. J. Wheeler fifty-two years ago in Greenville, N. H. Has since been mis­ sionary in Burman, Asia. She reports a great work now in progress among the Telugus, two thousand, two hun­ dred and twenty-two converts being immersed in one day by six native preachers acting as administrators. We received thru the postoffice the following, which proves that Pistakee Bay Camp has a poet or a poetess among them: We're in camp at Titipu: Come and see us all of you, And we'll think our camp complete, If you'll bring us something to eat. A Friend of "Three Little Maids." "Titipu" camp shall not go hungry, even if we have to take up a bunch of onions ourself.

North Crystal Lake Herald: Thrown violently from an upsetting load of hay to the ground, A. T. Wingate received very painful injuries to his left foot Saturday. He was driving into the barnyard about 11 o'clock with a load of hay, when the wagon tipped and he slid with great force, striking the earth feet foremost, but with so much concussion that tiie bones of the foot were dislocated or broken, or both. The injury is very painful and the foot is so swollen that a thoro examination cannot be made by the surgeon. Mr Wingate is confined to his bed. Les­ ter, the seventeen year old son of Mr Wingate, was on the load of hay and fell beneath, being saved from injury by a pitchfork that fell in such a posi tion as to hold the hay from him until he could crawl out. Mr. Wingate who was driving, pluckily kept his grasp on the lines and held jn check the pair of colts to which the wagon was hitched. WOODMEN TO ADJUST RATES. The Modern Woodmen of America, the largest of the fraternal organiza­ tions, has called a special meeting of its head camp, to be held in Chicago the latter part of next January to con­ sider the readjustment of rates to com­ ply with the new uniform fraternal in­ surance law. This is already a law in ten of the states in which the Modern Woodmen are operating, and it would require an increase in rates within three years in those states to comply with its conditions. As serious legal complications would follow unless the application of the new rates was made uniform the general change was re­ garded as inevitable. The Modern Woodmen now have over a million members, with the largest member­ ship in Illinois and adjacent states, so that the proposed changes are of great importance to the fraternal system. Members of Modern Woodmen lodges will be required to pay twelve assess­ ments a year, beginning with this month's assessment, instead of the nine or ten they have been paying in for­ mer years. The reason for this change in assessments is due to the Mobile law, which demands that all insurance lodges must show an increase In mem­ bership and funds every three years and then must be examined by a board of examiners.

Harvard Harold: One of the largest documents in the number of pages and in the amount of money involved was presented in the office of Theo. Hamer, circuit clerk and recorder, at Wood­ stock last Thursday and it will take his chief deputy, Lynn* W. Richards, nearly a week with\ a typewriter to copy the same and properly put the document on record. The instrument is- a mortgage for six million dollars given by the Knickerbocker Ice company of Chica­ go on its properties in six counties of northern Illinois in favor of the Cen­ tral Trust company of New York City and Chas. G. Dawes, trustees. Just 78,000 words are used in the big instrument, which covers 19o pages of typewritten paper and it is expected to cover 130 pages in the recorder's book of record mortgages. In the old method of hand writing it is estimated that two weeks would be consumed by a single person in transcribing the in­ strument. Payment of the six million mortgage is made in bonds of $1,000 each and they run for a long period of years at the rate of 5 per cent. The Knicker­ bocker company owns a vast amount of property in this section of the state in ice houses, wja.ter rights, machinery, and much tangible property in southern Wisconsin. NOTICE.
