DELINQUENT TAXES ARE $20,000 MOWN BY COUNTY TREASURER CRISSEY'S REPORT. ^Vj f - ?i.'r I;" Harvard Herald: The delinquent tax list of McHenry county this year reached a total of 820,000, which is the largest sum ever attained so far as attaches of the county treasurer's office recall. This total was reached when the seventeen collectors of the county made their returns to County Treas­ urer Crlssey, but the delinquent list was reduced to a considerable extent "before the date for publishing the same arrived. Property owners who have thus far failed to pay have until June 10 to do •o, but on that date a public sale will take place at the court house and the property will be offered for sale and the buyer will receive a tax title as security for his investment. John De- yarmond, Emil Arnold and Geo. W. Lemmers appear as the most frequent tmyers of property sold for non-pay­ ment of taxes. In the delinquent list as published the town of Alden is the only town in .the county with a clear bill and .it is Stated at the treasurer's office that but ; $4 cents delinquent is all that is charged •gainst said town, which enjoys a dis- . tinction not held by &ny4Other McHen- county township. Dunham has but one delinquent re­ turn, a small tract of land near the eity of Harvard, while Hartland's de­ linquent is confined to two small farms of 80 acres each, the owner of one be­ ing a non-resident and the other being a farm over which there is a question as to rightful ownership. Seven separate tracts of property appear as Hebron's quota to the coun­ ty delinquent list, one of the seven be­ ing a church property; another an estate, one a farm and the balance par­ cels of property within Hebron village limits. Algonquin and McHenry appear with the largest delinquent list, both ex­ ceeding Dorr, tho neither pay any­ where near as large a total tax. A reason assigned, however, is that many of its property owners are non resi­ dents, who rarely pay any attention to the tax Dating matter until the final fday when they appear and settle before their property is sold. Grafton, Coral and Riley appear in the same class in the number of de­ linquent tax payers, while Greenwood and Seneca appear with a number in excess of the first three named towns. Richmond and Burton occupy a place near together in the delinquent tax line, but each exceed Hebron in its delinquent tax list. Two electric railways appear in the delinquent tax list. The Chicago, Harvard & Geneva Lake Railway Co. and the Elgin & Belvidere Electric Co. are the corporations whose property is advertised for non-payment of taxable property. RESOLUTIONS.

Freund's 43 The clover blossom business has com­ menced and there is now plenty of work for the boys. Lake travel this way has materially fallen off since the boats were obliged to stop running. It is hoped they will be making regular trips again by next week. C. Stegemann has his new barn up and enclosed. He has located it now on the northeast corner of his lot, which gets it farther away from his residence. The steamboat proprietors have been putting in a temporary dam above the bridge, in this village, for the purpose of raising the water sufficient to run the boats from here to the lakes. We understand there are some who are protesting against this, and were on Monday attempting to get out an in­ junction. This looks to us like a very foolish move. At the present state of the water no one can be injured in the least, and it is certainly a benefit, not alone to the steamboats, but to the health of the inhabitants along the river. And it is certainly a matter in which every resident of McHenry is interested. Don't play the dog in the manger, gentlemen. The ladies of the M.

McHenry was the scene of quite an extensive burglary and robbery on Wednesday night or Thursday morn­ ing of last week, the residence and saloon of Jos. Buch being entered and between $350 and $400 in money, be­ sides a number of notes and drafts tak- on TK f AI />« tKiiMrnn /> w rwntM wi.. * "V &1AAWA v/i VijiV WO) (HL g«ISu- ing an entrance into the house, entered Mr. Buch's sleeping room without awaking him, took his clothes and then evidently went thru into the sa­ loon, where they rifled the pockets and where the clothes were found in the morning. Between the saloon and the part that was formerly used as a bakery is a door which Mr. Buch says was locked on the inside and after the robbery, altho this door was found locked, the key was missing, and it looks as if this was the way at which the thief departed, locking the door after him and taking the key. Detec­ tive Benthusen, in whose hands the matter was placed, visited tljis place on Friday and after investigation found that a man was at Buch's saloon on Monday before the robbery, a stranger and somewhat inquisitive and suspicious in his actions. He was a short, middle-aged man, light mus­ tache and hair cut short. As the key to the door above mentioned was on the inside, it is thought he might have got it at that time and as it was not missed let himself in and out that way, as the clothes were found near that door in the morning after the rob­ bery. The next morning after the robbery this same man was seen at Johnsburgh about 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning and displayed a large roll of money, treating all who came alontr. He then suddenly disappeared. This is the party Detective Benthusen is now looking for, and, if the reports stated above are true, there is little doubt but that he is the right man. And it will be a cold day if Benthusen don't overhaul him in due time. Mr. Buch offers a liberal reward for the capture of the thief.

Finest accommodations. The Keeley Core Is Permanent s "This is the twentieth anniversary of my rein­ carnation and release from the bondage of the Demon Rum. Completely cured--the accursed ap­ petite neverito return." This is a sample letter; we have many, many thousands like it. But we never publish names of patients, without their consent. In a number of instances we are allowed to use names of men who have been cured, as references, and will be glad to do so, and convince inquirers of the truth of our claims, if desired. Home Treatment ' We do not recommend home treatment in the case of either liquor or drug addictions; these condi­ tions are serious and demand the beat and most efficient treatment; this cannot be administered by the patient himself. It is better for him to be in a Keeley Institute, where he is constantly •under the supervision of physicians who are skilled in treating these cases and where every phase and development of his case is watched and cared for. OielJqiior Disease Mas Never Failed 400,000 men have been saved by the Keeley treatment during the last 32 years! 400,000 families restored io happiness! New hope and joy and ambition brought into the lives of approximately 2,000,000 people! Isn't there someone you can help? Drunkenness Is a Disease Dr. Leslie E. Keeley proved that drtinkennesa is a. trui disease. It affects the nerve cells, pro­ ducing in them a demand for alcoholic food. And it paralyzes the sufferer's will power and ability to resist. Not one man in a thousand can stop immod­ erate drinking of his own accord. No more than he can cure himself of smallpox or brain fever. He must have help/ How the Keeley Treatment Cures The Keeley remedies cure by removing the artificial alcohol appetite from the nerve -cells, and restoring them to their natural condition. The Keeley medicines are nerve tonics. They cause no sickness or nausea. They are absolutely non-injurious and leave no ill effects of any kind. The "craving" for drink is not the disease. It is simply the symptom of the disease, just as a cough is a symptom of some irritation or inflam­ mation. When the nerve cells are restored to their nor­ mal, healthy condition, the appetite for alcohol disappears. i Full Information on Request Booklets and full detailed information sent in sealed, plain envelope on request.
