Total Collection West McHenry .9220^0 Total Collection McHenry 215.50 MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE. The Barrington public school has a brass band. The Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock is again operating six full days a week. The circuit»clerk of Lake county fias had his salary raised from **2,300 to $2,600 per year. Two thousand baskets of plums have been picked and marketed from the H. G. Street fruit farm at Hebron. According to the report of the Lake county board of review the total real estate values of that county is placed at $51,000,000. The presen population of Wauke- gan is over 17.000, according to F. K. Bumstead, who is getting out a Lake county directory. Citizens of Elgin will be called upon next spring to vote a bond issue for the purpose of building a municipal electric lighting plant. T. P. Walsh of Grayslake has writ­ ten thp state fish commissioner to have some black bass planted in the lake at that place. Mr. Walsh has been as­ sured that his wish will be granted7 next year. Richmond now has two short sections of oiled streets. The oil was put on just as an experiment and we feel cer­ tain that the citizens of that village will see fit to have all their streets oiled next year. William Langeschulte of Barrington was adjudged insane before Judge Par­ sons at Waukegan last Friday evening. He was taken to Elgin the following morning. This is the seventh time that he has been sent to Elgin. E. E. Ayer, owner of almost 1,000 acres of land n^ar Lake Geneva, Wis., has purchased a sixty horse power kerosene Hart-Parr traction engine, with which he plans on using a gang plow that will turn twelve furrows. Hebron has but one dry goods store. Engebrestson Bros., who have conduct­ ed the second dry goods store in that village during the past three years, are closing out their stock and intend returning to their former home in Iowa. The American Metal Specialty com­ pany, manufacturers of the Nopenz water coolers and metal display casesf which is now having its coolers and capes manufactured in Chicago, in­ tends building a factory next spring and Barrington hopes to land the en­ terprise. From present indications there will be no jury trials in the Lake county circuit court until December, as Judge Whitney will be at the appellate court for the first part of the month and there are a number of chancery cases to be heard before any of the jury trials can be heard. County Clerk Still on Monday of last week issued a marriage license to Julius Robar, aged eighty-five, of Wal­ worth, Wis., and Jane Shirley, aged sixty-five, of Bourbon, , Ind., and the couple were married at Harvard the following day. The couple went to Indiana to make their future home. An epidemic of a doubtful nature has caused the death of 500 hogs in a lew d^ys on farms in the vicinity of Aurorr . In some instances the disease is said to resemble hog cholera. In most oases the lungs of the animals appear to have become diseased. Vet­ erinarians about the district are doing their best to check the epidemic, but seem to meet with poor success. Carl Heber, a former Dundee boy, is gaining much prominence among artists of this couutry. He recently finished a heroic group of statuary for the Champlain memorial monument at Crown Point, N. Y. From the designs of fifty-five sculptors who competed for the work that submitted by the Dun- deeite was selected. Mr. Heber al&o designed the cupids for the facade of the Hearst building in Chicago. The Spring Grove school, of which Anthony Schafter is president of the l>oard, J. J. Freund, secretary, and E. (J. Halderinan, director, has been greatly improved during the vacation. The walls have been newly plastered and daintily tinted in a pale green shading to a very light at the ceiling: the blackboards have been nicely cleaned and new full length window screens have been placed in all the windows. Besides these a new set of modeled maps have been added to the equipment at a cost of $100. Some of the older boys are now at work mak­ ing a sand table for modeling. The seats have also been rearranged. Much interest is thus manifested in this dis­ trict and the pupils and parents no doubt extend a vote of thanks to di­ rectors who have given them so many nice improvements.

Many of the farmers in this vicinity are complaining of wet wheat and it would probably be of interest to them to know that a double handful of lime thoroly mixed with each bag of wheat will preserve same and keep it from •becoming musty. I sell farms. D. F, Quinlan. 15 Just to show the men that they had nothing on them wl$en it comes to planning and enjoyingf a day's outing on the waters, twenty-one ladies of this pte.ce chartered the passenger boat "Gladene" and made A trip up the river and passed the day at beautiful Pistakee. The ladies intended taking the same trip as did the men a short time since, but low water prevented them from .baking in the chain of lakes. T»P trip was made lsist Saturday and altho the day was dark and cool and anything but favorable for a water outing the ladies made the best of it and from all reports a splendid time Was had by all. TKe "Gladene" with the happy crowd aboard left the Riverside dock shortly nine o'clock and and from that time until they again landed in McHenry, about five o'clock in the evening, not a dull moment had passed. The ladies had previously arranged for a dinner, which was served at the Kingsley hotel, Pistakee Bay, at the noon hour. The dinner was a nifty spread, made up of all the seasonable good thing's, including chicken, and from the compliments that were hand­ ed the management of the popular hostelry at the Bay we take it for granted that nothing was left undone to make this feature of the day's pro­ gram complete. After dinner the ladies proceeded to enjoy themselves on the spacious lawn about the hotel and the m'&nner in which each and every one present took part in the general festivities that followed was sufficient to make the men go way back and sit down. li was a case of forgetting all cares for just one day and this they all did, there being no end to the fun-making and pleasure until the ladies were safe­ ly landed at the Riverside pier. To complete the day the crowd at­ tended the performance at the air dome in a body. The event will go down in McHenry'S history as one of the most pleasurable ever planned and executed by the ladies of our village. It will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to get in on the doings. IULL NOOSE ADHERENTS WANT SLATE ENTIRELY FLLLED I sell farms. D. F. Quinlan. 15 REV. AND MRS. CROSS AT HEBRON. Rev. and Mrs. Cross were at Hebron in attendance on the reopening of the M. Er^church there last Friday. It was also the fiftieth anniversary of the building of the dfofch there. Rev. Tedrich, the pastor, has just completed a beautiful decoration of the interior of the church and placed a fine piano in it. When the church was built fifty years ago Hebron was an appoint­ ment on the McHenry charge and Rev. Nathan Jewett was the pastor. This relation was continued till 1856, when the Richmond charge was formed and Hebron connected with it. In 1896 Hebron was made an independent charge and has so continued since. It is one of the nice and desirable charges of the conference, a line congregation, membership and Sunday sohool. Its average membership for the last six­ teen years has been 158. Rev. Ted- rich is olqslng the second year of a splendid pas to rage with the church. Rev. Cross was their pastol- twenty- five years ago. The speakers Friday evening were Revs. Tedrich, Steveson and Cross. The ohoir rendered a nice musical service. • ROOSEVELT FOLLOWERS IN MettENRY COUNTY ARE WORKING HARD TO BRING IN CANDIDATES. Bull Moose adherents in McHenry county are said to be anxious to select a county ticket, says the Harvard Her­ ald. They are especially desirous of having candidates for the offices of circuit court clerk and state's attorney in opposition to Theo. Hamer and D. R. Joslyn, the present incumbents and the Republican primary nominees. Conferences have been held at which a County Bull Moose ticket has been the chief topic of discussion. Thos. II. Gill of Marengo and J. H. Hurner of Marengo are among the most active in the county ticket movement, accord­ ing to what is told by those in authority to convey full information. David H. Francis was taken up with a view to making him the Bull Moose candidate for state's attorney, but he is said to have declined because he was a Republican candidate in the April primary, and he said, according to re­ ports, that it would be out of place for him now to go back on the primary expression by seeking the same office from another political party. Geo. W. Conn, Jr , has been~appealed to by Bull Moose advocates to become a candidate for circuit court clerk on the promise that he would receive the support of Roosevelt followers in the county, as well a=. nelp from organized forces heretofore opp >s8d to his politi­ cal ambitions. Mr. Conn is reported to have informed tha Roosevelt repre­ sentatives, who waited on him in the hope of obtaining his consent to be­ come a candidate, that he is still a Re-, publican and however much he has admired Col. Roosevelt in the past it is not a question of personality, but of party and for that reason he intends to support the Republican ticket from top to bottom. Refusal of Mr. Francis to accept the Bull Moose nomination for state's at­ torney has resulted in turning the efforts of leaders in the third party movement to Chas. W. Whittemore of Marengo as a likely candidate. Just what position Mr. Whittemore will assume has not been stated, but the fact that he is chairman of the Repub­ lican county central commitee would seem that he, too, would refuse the proffered offer. Who will be chosen to make the race against Mr. Hamer has not yet been agreed on, according to information obtained from third party leaders.

Last Sunday afternoon the young men of St. John the Baptist church at Johnsburgh organized what is to be known as the St. Johfi's Young Men's society. At the first meeting there were thirty-five present. The tempo­ rary officers elected were: Anton Schmitt, president; Edwin Debrecht, secretary and treasurer. Rev. Edward Berthold is the spiritual director. More will be heard oi this society at a further date. SERVICES AT M. E. CHURCH.

VycJtal, the progressive Center- ville hardware dealer, has rented the first floor of the Perkins building ad­ joining the building that he now occu­ pies in Centerville and hopes to occu­ py the newly acquired floor space with in a short time. The new room will be occupied en­ tirely with a five and ten cent depart­ ment. During the past few years Mr. Vycital has conducted a five and ten cent department with signal success? In fact, this department has grown wonderfully since first introduced by the hardware merchant, until now he finds that his present quarters are too small to handle the stock that he is putting in. The newly acquired room is now be­ ing fitted up and will be taken up ex­ clusively by the five and ten cent de partment. The added room means a larger stock of this class of goods than ever and the much needed space in which to display it properly. OFFICE SEEKERS HERE SATURDAY, OCT. 0. Gov- Charles S. Deneen, candidate for re-election; Lieut. Gov. John G. Oglesby, candidate for re-election; Secy, of State C. J. Doyle, candidate for1 election; Atty. Gen. William H.

An important social function, men­ tion of which we failed to make at the time took place at Terra C'otta on a recent Sunday, the event being a re­ union of the Knox family, which took place at the home of Michael Knox. The day, altho rather warm, was an ideal one for an occasion of this kind and those who made up the gathering, both young and old, enjoyed the day to the fullest extent. The guests gathered at the Knox home during the forenoon and before the noon hour arrived all the members of the family who could possibly ar- range to be there were seated around an old-fashioned picnic dinner, to which all did ample justice. After dinner some of the young men and boys pres­ ent entertained those assembled with vocal selections, while Miss Mary Burke of this place presided at the piano. Next in order were auto rides by both old and young, John R. Knox, the hustling auto dealer of this place, playing a prominent part in this part of the entertainment. After the rides races of various kinds were in order and, to say the least, this part of the day's program caused no little amount of laughter and fun for both the par­ ticipants and spectators alike. Among t he races pulled off were a fat woman's race, young girls' race, little girls' race and sack races between men and boys. After the races an appropriate program of recitations, songs and toasts with Thomas Bolger as toast mas ter was enjoyed. At the conclusion of this progrim the home-going hour had arrived and before the homeward journey was started it was decided by those pres­ ent to make the reunion an annual event. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Conway and family, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bolger and family, Mrs. S. Knox, Misses Alice and Minnie Knox, Miss Mary Burke, John Knox and Mr. and Mrs. M. Knox.

The new enterprise is to be located on the lot just across from Stephen H. Smith's place of business. C. M. Adams, the Johnsbugh mer­ chant, who some time ago purchased the above mentioned piece of property, has decided to erect a one-story cement block store building thereon and hopes to have the place ready for occupancy before snow flies. The blocks for the building are all ready and work on the foundation was started this week. The building will be 40xti0 feet and modern in every detail. The store, when completed, will be occupied by Messrs. Joseph and Lewis Adams, sons of C. M. Adams. Miss Hellen Adams, a sister of the Adams brothers, who conducts the milliner} department in her father's store, will also occupy quarters in the new building. Messrs. Adams expect to carry a complete line of general merchandise as well as groceries and in connection will also conduct a tirst-class meat market. Both of the young men have had considerable experience in the mer­ chandise business, while Joe has also acquired complete knowledge of the meat business. The young men intend giving Johns­ burgh one of the best country mer­ cantile establishments to be found any where. Miss Adams, who, as pre­ viously stated, will have charge of the millinery department, has had years of experience in this line of work and that her future efforts will be as suc­ cessful as her past i&. already assured. Matt. Steffes &Co. will do thecemeut work on the new building. NEW FUNERAL CAR. Jacob Justen, the Ueuit i viiK ture ( man and undertake!
