Bryant took the spotted addsr he caught to the snake show at Dundee and the manager gave him $2 for returning the escaped reptile. ^ The first roll call after the sane Fourth showed but five deaths in Illi­ nois from fireworks and firearms. Taking the country as a whole the total number of deaths, injuries and fire losses was reduced to half of last year's striking figures. Dan Peck, an employe of the Borden factory at Marengo, met with a very painful accident one day last week. While at work in the factory one of the hot water pipes burst, discharging its contents over Mr. Peck's back and shoulders, scalding him seriously. Paul Donovan, well known Wood­ stock young man, passed the state bar examination for admission to the bar to practice law in Illinois, the exam ination being given in Chicago last week, where 270 young men took the required' examination. Paul passed with a very satisfactory record. Alarmed by the intense heat the Northwestern railroad has notified the? roadmasters to put track walkers at work watching the rails. The heat makes the rails creep and the officials are afraid of buckling, which would result in wrecks. Accordingly, section men are inspecting the rails daily. A big machine was installed at the Bradley Knitting company's plant at Delavan, Wis., last week which is the"" only one of its kind in the country Uh day. It is a machine for making sweaters, full fashioned, and finishing them in every particular, and is-a great improvement over anything yet put on the world's market for making sweat­ ers. The now famous Mothersill vs. Vol- iva case will now go to trial for the fourth time, as Judge Frost has grant­ ed a new trial at the request of the defendants. This case has been tried three times heretofore, in each case the jury awarding heavy damages in favor of the plaintiff. Judge Frost granted the request for a new trial on the ground of errors in the proceed­ ings. Grayslake Times: Current reports arc out that the powder company has purchased land in Millburn just south of the state line. Also comes the news that the plant at Pleasant Prairie is to be rebuilt. So it looks like Lake coun­ ty might be the goat. With a store house this side of the Wisconsin line they can easily keep the new state law there forbidding the storing of large quantities of explosives. • The Bowman Dairy company of Harvard offered a $2.50 box of cigars to the first patron who delivered milk on the morning of July Fourth. The box went to Bert McLain of West Alden, who was on the spot at 1:15 a. m. The next arrival came at 3:30 a. m. The offer was made in order to get a hustle on the patrons so the em­ ployes could have their work finished by the noon hour. The twenty-first, semi-annual gath­ ering of the C. F. Hall company of Dundee and its employes was held Fri­ day, July 7, at Wing park, Elgin. Since 1902 the C. F.

Here are the figures and dates given by Aaron Rowe: Last Thursday even­ ing the height of the stalk was 8 feet and 2 inches; twenty-four hours later it was 9 feet, and on Saturday evening (forty-eight hours after the first meas­ urement was taken) its height was 9 feet and 9 inches, a total of nineteen inches in two days. The corn is a variety of garden sweet corn. M. F. Sweeney displayed a stalk which meas­ ured 1(H feet the first week in July. Reports of valuable pearls found in Fox river continue to come in. Hilton Smith, who is collecting clam shells above Dundee, found a pearl one day last week which he believes is worth several hundred dollars. Oliver Few of Elgin, a street car conductor, had been in the water only a few minutes and had opened an even dozen of clams without even finding a slug one day re­ cently, when luck favored him as he cut Into the thirteenth clam, a perfect white pearl weighing more than eleven grains rolling out into his hand. In­ terested in knowing the value of the pearl he returned to Elgin on the next car. The jeweler who weighed the pearl offered $150 for it, but he refused to sell. A pearl buyer made an offer of #200, but it was not accepted either. Pearl experts state that the pearl is one of the finest ever found in the Fox river near Elgin.

THEY WERE COMING TOO FAST. A young man, who has been a famil­ iar figure upon our streets during the past two months or more, met with an experience while "out with the boys" one night last week which he does not care to have anyone tell on him. It seems that this certain fellow is a firm believer of sociability and a good time just so long as it is at another's ex­ pense and not his own. This fact be­ came known to a number of our young townsmen and it was agreed between them and the fellow the joke was on to go out for a sociable time. (?) Ev­ erything was lovely until a few minutes before the midnight hour arrived, when the poor fellow, heavily laden with wet goods, fell by the wayside. To leave him would not be just the proper thing to do, so after a consulta­ tion of a few moments it was decided to take him to the village lock-up. The "would-be, but wasn't," who was now dead to the world, was loaded into an awaiting automobile and taken to the hotel DeWalsh-Justen. To make sure that no one should molest him In his peaceful slumbers, a heavy log chain and extra heavy padlock were used in locking the cell door. The following morning when Officer Walsh arrived at the station his attention was at oncc drawn towards the occupied cell and for a moment was at a loss to know what it all meant. The prisoner was upon his feet in an instant and pleading to be freed. Not knowing the circumstances the officer refused him until he had talked with Officer Justen, who was just as ignorant of the case as was the West Side officer, so with the assistance of a chisel and hammer the chain on the cell door was broken and the prisoner released. The fellow, upon being freed, did not linger around long to tell those who had gath­ ered how it all happened, but since the experience he has made the vow "never again."
