MtENinrnAL PARTIES FOR. MISS SMITH. [Lincoln (Neb.) Star, Friday, Sept. 15.] Miss Alice Smith, who will be a bride of the coming week, has been the guest of honor at a number of very pretty parties, some of which have been reported during the week. Thurs­ day night she was. guest of honor at a towel shower given by Miss Olive More- land. The guest list included twenty friends of the bride to be. The hostess carried out a pretty decorative scheme in red and white. At the close of a two course supper the bride was show­ ered with rice. At this time the door bell rang and a tiny miss of four sum­ mers, dressed as cupid, entered the room carrying a telegram which con­ tained a message for Miss Smith, tell­ ing her to search the rooms for her gifts. She was rewarded by finding thirty-five handsome towels. Saturday afternoon Mrs. R. W. Tyler and Miss Marie Thurlwell gave a kitchen shower for Miss Smith at the home of Mrs. Tyler. The rooms were brightened thruout with bouquets of asters. The gifts for the bride were wrapped in dainty packages and she was obliged to guess what each contained before open­ ing the parcel. A two course supper was served, for which covers were laid for twenty. Mrs. J. W. McMillen, 2021 South Eleventh street, will entertatn at dinner today in honor of Miss Smith, who is a niece of Mrs. McMillen, and for another niece, Miss Marie Thurl­ well, who leaves Tuesday to spend the winter in California. LAST NIGHT'S PROGRAM. Last night's program by the Jubilee Singers was enjoyed thoroly by the vast audience. Hundreds who did not even try to enter the tent, remained near by and were added to the 3,000 who listened to the music. And such music! Rich in harmony, melody and comedy characterization, the songs of the Carolinian Jubilee Singers are ringing in one's ears today. The haunting tilt of their delightful songs will remain with one, indeed, for many a day, if the reputation of the company, gained in uuuiy a victorious concert, does not go awry. Certainly not in twenty-five years has a company of singers so pleased a Ladoga audience as did the Carolinian Jubilee Singers. The tent was filled to hear them and not a person who was present has had anything but commendation to offer since. A number ef people have ex­ pressed the opinion that this enter­ tainment alone was worth the price of a season ticket.--(Ladoga (Ind.) Leader.

Don't forget that most of the busi­ ness houses will be closed all day next- Sunday and do your shopping on Sat­ urday night. Mrs. E. Lawless informs us that on Monday of this week she enjoyed some raspberries and strawberries taken from her garden. The last pickles of the season were received at the local factory on Mon­ day of this week. Four thousand bush­ els were received during the season. Corn is still coming in at the local factory, but the prospects are that the canning season will come to an end this week. The output this year will surpass that of last year by far.

Mrs. Amann was for­ merly Miss Mary Freund. Willie Simpson and Lester Bacon came home from the country all smiles last Saturday. They brought with them a beautiful bouquet of violets. As this species of flower is among the first to make its appearance in th6" spring and very rare at this time of year, the boys feel quite proud of their find. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wentworth cel­ ebrated their seventeenth wedding anniversary on Sunday, September 24. Those who came to help them cele­ brate were: Messrs. and Mesdames P. W. Thompson, F. R. Holly of Lake Geneva, Wis., Wm. Gierke of Chica­ go, Wm. Cross of Crystal Lake and Jos. C. Holly of this place. John Larsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. August Larsen of Chicago and who formerly conducted the Orchard Beach hotel at this place, has entered Notre Dame university at Notre Dame, Ind. John won his scholarship thru his ath­ letic abilities and likes the school very much. Last year he studied at North­ western university at Evanston. He is studying civil engineering. Few people have any idea what an incentive it is to both teacher and scholar to know that parents and out­ siders are taking a lively interest in their work. We believe the "little folks" at school appreciate such in­ terest more, perhaps, than the larger ones. Still the effect is not lost on any of them, and we hop^ every par­ ent will take a hint from this and place the public school on, their visit­ ing list. Green street, between Elm and Pearl, is undergoing a big improvement. The low places are being filled in while the road farther south is being cut down so as to give the water a chance to flow down the street into the creek, instead of forming a all lake uear the home of D. G. Wells, as has been the case for years past. The improvement, when com­ pleted, will be the best made in some time and will be greatly appreciated by those residing along that thorofare. Vincennes (Ind.) Capital: The Orig­ inal Carolinian Jubilee Singers have become great favorites of Vincennes Chautauqua goers. Every seat in the big tent was occupied. The singers appeared at their best and the keen enjoyment of the audience was mani­ fested by the general applause. Mr. Douglas sang "The Holy City" with splendid interpretation. Mr. Manning delighted everyone with his deep, rich and mellow tones as he sang "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," and Mrs. Wilson's solo, "Face to Face," was sung very sweetly.--Given under the auspices of the McHenry high school at the Central opera house on Monday evening, Oct. 2. 15-1 BIG MUSICAL HIT. According to entirely trustworthy reports there is a rare treat in store for all who witness the performance of the Independent Amusement com­ pany's latest offering, "The Toyipak- er's Dream," at the Central opera house Sunday evening, Oct. 1. "The Toymaker's Dream" is unquestionably one of the best semi operatics that has been offered the public i^ the last ten years. Its records as a drawing attrac­ tion is without parallel in the history of musical comedies arifi the endorse­ ments which have been bestowed upon the star, William C. Cushman, leaves no doubt as to the hold that the young actor has upon the people. The pro­ duction will be presented with a large cast and the company's own special REVIEW BOARD DIGS UP BIG SUM UNKM KEAKLY (700.000OVER AftSESS- W lfGUMBB. - ~ ~ -- • * ' ' ' Gazette: An increase of nearly $700,000 over the returns on taxable property made by the assessors of the bounty is the result of the find­ ings of the McHenry county board of review, which completed its labors at Woodstock Thursday of last week. Over two-thirds of this large amount represents the increase (Mi personal property* the balance being the in­ crease on real estate. , The total increase on both personal property and real estate as reported by the board of review reaches the sum of 1690,144. Of this amount $494,658 represents the increase on personal property, 1164,682 is the increase on real estate and $30,804 is the increase on town lots. The towns of Richmond, Burton and Hebron contributed but little to the 1690,000 raise over the assessors' fig­ ures, but from Marengo, Dorr, McHen­ ry, Chemung, Algonquin and Alden came the major portion of the amount found to bring the total up to the fig­ ures here given. In the matter of personal property the biggest increase was made in the town of Marengo, where $99,369 tvorth of property was unearthed by the board of review that did not appear on the assessor's books. Dorr was a close second with an increase of $93,312, Mc­ Henry's increase was $88,461, that of Chemung $87,696, and Algonquin was boosted $50,424. Alden was the only town to show a decrease, the personal property in that town being cut down $1050. Alden heads the list of towns in which the real estate values were boosted by the board of review, the in­ crease in that town being $77,958. Chemung shows an increase of $62,256. The revision of the assessments on town lots resulted in a raise of $13,503 in the town of £?unda, this being the largest increase. The assessment of real estate in the town of Grafton was cut down $18,969 and Seneca, Nunda, Hebron and Dorr also show decreases ranging from $5000 to $9000. The full value of personal property in Richmond township as taken from the assessor's books was $579,483. This was boosted by the review board to $590,667, and increase of $11,184. The value of real estate in this township as assessed by the board of review is $1,172,542, an increase over the assess­ or's figures of $5,016, and town lots were raised $150, the'assessment of this property made by the board being $316,152. The assessor's valuation of personal property in Burton township was placed at $180,405, which was boosted by the board to $188,304, a raise of $7,899. The value of Burton real estate was raised $1,131, the board's assess­ ment being $443,235 and the valuation of town lots was placed at $65,298, an advance of $1,479. The value of personal property in the town of Hebron was raised from $671,154 to $689,958, an increase of $18,804 and a boost of $900 was made in the valuation of town lots. The real estate assessment was shaved $5,400. The task of revising the assessments this year was the most arduous ever experienced by the members of the board of review and the amount of taxable property unearthed and added to the tax lists is the largest ever re­ turned in this county. The board started its labors June 19 and finished the work Sept. 14, being in session seventy-six days. Sept. 7 is the date set by statute for boards of review to complete their work, but the McHenry county board found it impossible to finish its labors within the time limit and cover the county as thoroly as planned. The board of review, composed of H. E. Whipple, Wm. Pinnow and J. T. Bower, with Wm. Desmond clerk, ex­ hausted every effort at its command to make an equitable and fair assessment of the property, real and personal, in the county and it is claimed that the tax review just completed has been the most thoro ever undertaken since the law creating Wards of review was passed twelve years ago.

Press: The sec­ ond number of the high school, lecture course, given by the Original Carolin­ ian Jubilee Singers, was a decided suc­ cess. The large auditorium was packed by an appreciative audience. Each number was heartily encored, evincing the popularity of the singers. The solos sung by Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Frazier were very fine. Mr. Douglas, the baritone, took the audience by storm. Mr. Manning, who by the way is a phenomenon, sounded the lowest depth with his magnificent bass Jvoice. Mr. Frazier is a singer of splendid abil­ ity and a oomedian. Mr. Carter, the gentlemanly manager, is a marvel on the piano and certainly deserves the title of the "Colored Paderewski. His technique is wonderful.
