WE SBOW FOUR NIGHTS, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY AHD SUNDAY ,, ra£q*}arajr i'rttfifls SALESMAN GETS FRESH Bennett Molloy of Chicago, who is traveling in the interest of a pure food advertising scheme, got Rimself very much disliked here on Tuesday even­ ing and how he managed to get away without a good "trimming" is more than we are able to explain. This great, big, idiotic,, bluffer arrived in town on the 4:45 train and set out at once to make the various business houses. \ He called at several different places without making a sale and from what we are able to learn he handled his prospects in anything but a gentle­ manly manner. Shortly after his ar­ rival in town he was seen in the M. M. Niesen grocery and after a vain at­ tempt to get Mr. Niesen interested in his proposition he left the place, only to return at about eight o'clock. On his second visit to the Niesen store the stranger intimated that he was there to make the proprietor trouble and from different things that were stated Mr. Niesen (took it that he was a pure food inspector and demanded him to show his credentials. The stranger pulled out a card as if to hand it over, when like a flash he jerked it from the storekeeper's hand, saying, '̂That he would not care to have the card soiled." One word led to another and during the argument that followed he ad­ dressed Mrs. Niesen, who was behind the counter at the time, in a ^nanner which we would term an insult. After the stranger had left the place some of those who heard the remarks advised Mr. Niesen to get out a warrant for the arrest of Molloy, which he did. Before Squire J. W. Kimball the of­ fender pleaded guilty to the charge of disturbing the peace and a fine of $5.00 AND costs was assessed against'him. BOY GONE AND SO IS CASH Everett Howe, a boy from the St. Charles Home for Boys, who for some time past has been employed by P. N. Peterson, who occupies one- of the Hanly farms, disappeared from there last Sunday afternoon and since that time no trace of the lad lias been found. It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Peterson were out of town on that day and left the boy at home alone. On their re­ turn home in the evening the boy was nowhere to be found and on investi­ gation a small sum of money was also missing. They realized at once that he had made his get-away, taking with him the money they had left at home. A searching party went out the follow­ ing day, but up to going to press he has not been found. It is quite likely that the lad got away on the early- Monday morning train and the chances are that he is now in Chicago. FACTORY INSPECTOR MAKES VISIT Harvard Herald: William Stoffel, well known resident of McHenry and now a member of the factory inspec­ tion corps of the state, was in Harvard last Thursday and a part of Friday, making an inspection of industrial plants in this city and paying particu­ lar attention to where minor labor is employed. Mr. Stoffel found condi­ tions reasonably satisfactory in Har­ vard, tho herecommended some changes in existing conditions in a few places in this city. In addition to being a deputy factory inspector, Mr. Stoffel is also a Democratic candidate for county treasurer and he hks as his opponent fpr^the" party nomination his fellow citizen, John Miller, engaged in the granite and marble business at McHenry. CELCqptATle SILVER WEDD^M Guests numbering about forty-two assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Conway, who reside south of town, to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding on Thurs­ day evening, July 9. They were the recipients of many beautiful pieces of silver. Games, music and dancing were indulged in, ohe of the chief features being a mock- wedding. At a late hour dainty refreshments were served, after which the guests depart-, ed for their various homes, all declar­ ing that they had hkd a delightful time. FE- M. E.

All such wounds can be healed without any fatal conse­ quences following them. The remedy is simple. It is only necessary to smoke the wound or bruise that is in­ flamed with burning wool or Woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool will take the pain out of the worst case of inflammation arising from a wound. In the past week several disgraceful affairs have occurred on our streets, and we are tqld in some instances when sworn officers Were standing by who did not attempt to interfere or do their duty. If this is so, it is high time something was done. That peaceable citizens are allowed to be attacked OTA our streets by thugs and would-be bul­ lies is a disgrace to our village and if the officers of the law, town and vil­ lage are unable or unwilling lo do their duty it is high time they step down and out and allow others to take their place who will do it. There are other violations of village ordinances which should receive immediate atten tion. If our village is to be run by thugs and their acts upheld by those to whom we should look fcA* better things, the quicker we learn that fact the better. • T ^ M OATS- , Now is the'time to examine ydtrrIwkts for smut. An examination of some fields seeded with untreated seed show a high per cent of smut, while in the fields seeded with treated SEED no smut can be found. The smut spore in oats is killed by the formaldehyde solution and is very effective when properly*- done. Many farmers in the county treated their seed oats last spring at a cost of less than three cents a bushel. Examine their fields and satisfy your­ self that it will pay to treat your oats for smut. Examine your own field and that of your neighb&rs by counting the good heads and the smutted ones that you can get inside a barrel hoop, then examine the percentage of smutted heads in the bunch. You will discover an enormous loss due to the presence of THE smut.. SPEND IMS WEST Lew RMW Trip Far** N«w la Elftet vtoClil- hmf mmi N*rth Waatttm By.

M. \ CENTERVULE .1 AND GROCERY choicest line Meats and Grocerffe* -'" to be found IN McHenry FUIR*' THE CHAUTAUQUA The Chautauqua, the first McHenry has ever had, came to a close last Sat­ urday evening and, while some of the numbers did not come up to expecta­ tions, the work in general was satis­ factory. From a financial point of view the chautauqua was a failure, as the committee on Saturday night dis­ covered a shortage of about $40, which the twenty business ftien who signed the guarantee document will be obliged to make good. The writer has quite thoroly investigated and finds that a number who signed up for tickets early UP the spring did not pay for same, which naturally accounts for the short­ age. ' We talked to a number of those who signed up for tickets and in every instance were informed that it was their understanding that the unsold tickets coqld be turned in and T^AT the persons with whom they were left would not be held for same. We find thai tlic business men in general ARC -dissatisfied and a number of those who got "stuck" have thrown up their arms altd swore- "never again." The' business, men in McHenry certainly have been getting more than their share i l l the past few years and we don't know THAT we blame them for bringing a halt to this guarantee busi­ ness. Why a business man or a set of business men should be asked to guar­ antee the expense of a chautauqua any more than any other traveling show or entertainment is more than we can understand and from the manner*in which the majority of business men have expressqfl themselves to the writer we feel safe in stating that never again will McHenry business men allow a company to come into this village and put it over on them. Not Only this, but we also find that quite a number who purchased tickets didn't attend a single entertainment. The tickets were simply forced upon them. These people will also be en their VUARD in the future, and it looks like one chautauqua witt-^lnst McHenry a good many years. Order your brick ice eream for 8un\ DQY at McAllister's.
