Will H. Mead rejoiced over the ar­ rival of a ten pound boy last week. The six months old child of Jacob Justen of this village died suddenly on Saturday morning. We did not learn the cause. The funeral was held from the Johnsburg church on Mon­ day. Of the toboggan an exchange says: 'You get in your sled, wink three times and then walk a mile tip hill." McHenry people are doing a good deal of winking this winter, but very little tobogganing. The popularity of Smith's quintette orchestra of this village is shown by the fact that they were wanted in six different places for Thursday night of this week. They furnish No. 1 music. They play at the McHenry House on Thursday evening and at the Parker House the 22nd. The band concert and dance, on Fri­ day evening last, was a complete suc­ cess, financially and otherwise. The hall «ras well filled and the program was well rendered thruout. About forty couples remained to the dance and tripped the light fantastic till the wee sma' hours. The band cleared over all expenses about $40. FEBRUARY 20, 1889 Jm 8. Walsh of Elgin has sold his house and lot in this village to A. Miller, who will take possession of the same March I. Consideration, 8450. Hon. Geo. Gag$ aud wife expect^ to go to Vineland, New Jersey, in about two weeks, where they 3vill be the guests of John Gage and wife. They rill probably be gone three or four months. H. Mead has furnished us a very interesting account of his trip to Dix­ on, 111., where he attended th6 Lee county farmers' institute, which is un avoidably crowded out this week, but will appear in our next. Our public school is progressing finely under the direction of Prof. Youuc and his corpn of able iuwisiAiiui and we believe we do not exaggerate when we say McHenry hfcs the be?t school she has enjoyed in many years. Prof. Young as a teache has few equals and no superiors in this part of the state, bis whole soul being in the work, and the rapid progress being made by the pupils of his department can be plainly seen by all. McHenry was certainly fortunate in being able to secure his services, and we trust we ^CMIRIBTE PLANS FOE SUMNER MEETING AND FALL SALE •'$&. : "• ,N j Leading breeders and farmers to the number of fifty gathered at the annual meeting of the McHenry County Hcl- stein Breeders' association at Wood­ stock Saturday and held one of (the most enthusiastic meetings in the his­ tory of the association. One of the most important actions taken by the meeting was the passage of a resolution endorsing the action of Governor Dunne with regard to the importation of diseased animals into Illinois. This resolution was passed unanimously, and reads as follows: "Resolved, that we as members of the McHenry County Holstein Breeders' association heartily endorse the proc­ lamation of the governor of the state of Illinois barring the shipment of diseased animals into this state. We believe that in soloing he has not only protected the best interests of the pure bred herds of Illinois, but also the best Interests of the live stock industry of Illinois." Plans for theadvertisicgof McHenry 'county as a leading center for Holstein Seattle were discussed at lengtfe and a •committee was appointed to consider ;jf)ans to this end. The main feature •<pf this campaign wiil be the publica­ tion of a booklet containing a brief history of the development of dairy farming and the breeding of Holstein cattle in the county; a description of leading herds of Holsteins and the work of the cow testing association. At an early date the secretary of the association will mail out to all persons interested full particulars with regard to the publication of this booklet. It is probable that a fixed price will be charged per page for herd descriptions. A large number of these booklets will be distributed at the annual meeting of the National Holstein association at Chicago in the early part of June. Breeders and dairymen from all over the United States will attend this meeting and the feeling of the Mo Henry county breeders is tfabt they will be hiding their light under a bushel if they do not take advantage of this opportunity to tell the world of the many splendid herds of Holsteins ,and the advantages of purchasing breeding stock in this county. Another means of distributing tsha booklets will be thru advertisements carried by the association in leading farm and dairy papers. A number of communities in Wisconsin have built up a trade- for their surplus'dairy stoek in the manner here outlined which they cannot begin to fill. There is every reasvn to believe that with the favorable location of MoHenry county and, the large number of excellent herds a similar trade can be built up. The date set for the second annual sale of the association is October 20 and almost two-thirds of the cattle re­ quired to hold the sale were pledged at the meeting. A decided change in sentiment with regard to the advisa­ bility of testing all sale animals for tuberculosis was evinced and in view of this fact a much more active demand at the sale than was exhibited lout year is certain, altho the last year sale is regarded as a splendid success, de­ spite the fact that the catalogues did not arrive until sale day, which pre­ vented mailing out to those from a distance who had filed requests for copies with the secretary. With a view of morg firmly cementing the as­ sociation, it is planned to hold a sum­ mer meeting at the home of some of the members. On this occasion lead­ ing dairymen and breeders from a dis- stance will be invited to address the members and some good "eats" will be on hand. This meeting was sug­ gested by the consulting agriculturist, Mr. Delos James, and met with hearty favor from the members present. Already the work of the association is bearing gpod fruit in stirring up in­ terest in the use of better dairy stpok. Mr. M. J. Wright of Woodstock stated that the'board of supervisors had been induced to place a pure-bred Holstein sire at the head of the dairy herd of the county farm, also to weed out some of the inferior stoek and to plafie it with stock of betteFbreeding. A considerable portion of the meet­ ing was devoted to a discussion of ways and means for improving the herds of the members. Mr. James made a strong plea for a careful study of blood lines of Holsteins so that the herd bull could be purchased intelligently. He stated that there were several dairy­ men in this section of the state who had destroyed the work of several years' improvement by the use of sires which failed to bring about the im­ provement expected. At the close ,of the business meeting the members retired to a sumptuous banquet, in which Holstein smearcase, ice cream, cheese and milk occupied an important position on the menu. Officers for the coming year are: Pres­ ident, C. W. Harrison of Ringwood; first vice president, M. J. Wright of Woodstock; second vice president, Leslie M. Wakeley of Harvard; secre­ tary, J>. H. Turner of Hebron, and treasurer, Bert Thomas of Woodstock. Leslie E. Trooger, editor of the Farmers' Review, was a guest at the banquet. v SETTLE «mi MRS MOSU PAY •nut Made to Order Before buying yotir Spring Suit, don't fail to call and look over our samples of CRACK-A-JACK BRAND.

Mrs. Kneisle, it is recalled, obtained a verdict for $3,500 in circuit court given by the jury. Since that time her attorneys made an "agreement" by which they accepted #1,500 and agreed not to sue these four men farther. Under the technical provi­ sions of the law, they could not make a "settlement" with them unless they wished to alleviate Wagner's respon­ sibility and liability for damages. Had they "settled," Wagner's interests would also have been disposed of, but, under the law, they could "agree not to sue," and thus not place themselves in position of being unable to»sue Wagner and the bond.company. Thus, while the four saloonists of McHenry, who were found guilty of selling Kneisle liquor on the day he died while enroute home to Warren- ton from McHenry, have settled for 91,500, Wagner has his litigatoic to face all over again, unless the bond company, seeing the outcome of the case, may proffer a settlement with Mrs. Kneisle muclTon the same basis seen in the settlement with the Mc­ Henry saloonkeepers.
