Afternoon mails for Chicago now seat from both the McHenry and West McHenry postofflces. The M.

J The old Roman game of ^"knuckle down," "dubs," and for "keeps" has broken out among the "kids" with all the virulence of a spirited political canvass. Marbles are a forerunner of spring. H. H. Nichols, one of the best paint­ ers in the county, has moved his shop to tbe rooms over Simes' blacksmith shop, West Side, where he can here­ after be found ready to do all work in his line. John Evanson & Co. is the name of the new firm which will open business at the old stand of Fitzsimmons & Kvanson April 2. Mr. Evanson is one of our most enterprising business men and our citizens will be glad to know that he has decided to remain in Mc­ Henry. The new two-cent postage stamp which will be put into general circula­ tion this month is said to be the hand­ somest design ever issued by the gov­ ernment postoftice department, and will have an embossed profile of Wash­ ington upon it, surrounded by blue tinted back-ground. The trotting stallion, "George O.," will not stand for service this season, as he will go to Chicago April 15, knd will be under the care of Peter V. Johnson, one of the best trainers in the West, and we shall expect to see him make some very fast time before the season is over, as he is capable of doing. His blood lines trace back to all the best and fastest bloods now known, and the time is not far distant, barring accidents, when they will all want a "George O." colt. ALGONQUIN APPOINTS WANDRACK. John Wandrack, the "original Algon­ quin Indian," has been annexed to the village of Algonquin. The formal an­ nexation took place at the meeting of the village board and Mr. Wandrack has decided to acquiesce and has as­ sumed some of the multitudinous duties thrust upon him. Mr. Wandrack is now performing the duties of chief of police, superintendent of the fire de­ partment, superintendent of streets, superintendent of the water works, health officer, superintendent of briqlg OS, sewer inspector, custodian pf the i village hall, building inspector, admir­ al of the port of Algonquin and a fe\y other positions, Mr. Wandrack, who a well known former business man of Algonquin, has been io the wilds of Wisconsin during the past few years, where he was keeper of the properties of the big Turtle Lake Lumber com­ pany and he has acquired the owner­ ship of Turtle island and has one of the best hunting and fishing resorts in the west. He had no intentioh of re» maining in this section when he was called home a few weeks ago by the death of a relative. But the village needed him and he has been induced to remain. In his conduct of the office he has decided on a new plan regard­ ing the treatment of tramps. Wand­ rack has rigged a gasoline stove in an .aiM-eroom of the bastile and will feed the tramps in a substantial manner while they are confined. They will be compelled to perform short stuntys cleaning the streets bridges. He had four on Saturday whp ^c^ieerfully cleaned the long bridge aero$? Fox river. TOWNSHIP MEETJNC ANP ELECTION.

Such is Conan Doyle's "The Lost World." Did you know that in the unexplored wilderness between the Andes and the Amazon there still exist many of the monster animals that walked the earth before mm was created? It has re­ mained for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle-- and the irascible Professor Challenger --to discover this lost world and take you right into it. How does it feel to be chased by a dinosaur as big as a house, or attacked by a pterodactyl as large as a biplane? You will know before you finish this fascinating story, for the author'makes you see and believe. At the same time you will learn more about the prehistoric world than a dozen scientific treatises could tell you, for the story makes you live in it. The action is easy at first. Don't let that deceive. Challenger is a terrific and captivating hero, and when he gets away on his expedition look out for danger unequaled in modern romance. The story is told with the imagination of Kipling or Jules Verne and the masterly skill of the creator of Sher­ lock Holmes. "The Lost World" will appear exclusively in the Sunday Mag­ azine of The Record-Herald, begin­ ning March 24. Tell your friends to read it and enjoy a new sensation. ADDITIONAL PERSONALS.

Conn, Jr., in his struggle to secure the Republican nomination for con­ gressman from this district. This time Judge Willis is support­ ing Congressman Copley for a renomi- nation and has departed from his usual custom of refusing to be interviewed on matters of this kind, and last week gave out the following, statement for publication: "My opinion is not worth very much," stated Judge Henry B. Willis, "but it is my idea that Conn's candidacy is a political mistake. It will make the situation embarrassing for the local candidates. It is poor politics in my opinion." DR. SCHAEFER COMING.
