Jack Roney of Wauconda is winning golden laurels with his pacing mare, "Majfgie R." She won second money in a race at Chicago a few days since, ttfcaking the fast time of 2:18. There was a quiet wedding at the Park hotel, Janesville, Wis., on last week Thursdayievening, the contract­ ing parties being Mr. Frank L. Carr, editor of the Richmond Gazette, and Miss Lizzie Neville of Wauconda. Coroner Hertz of Chicago, who is also one of the officers of the Fox Lake Hunting club, swore out warrants be­ fore Justice Compton of Volo on Monv day of last week for the arrest of sev­ eral young men for violating the law by shooting prairie chickens. Ed Granger, youngest son of F. K. Granger, met with quite a serious ac­ cident one day the latter part of last week. He was riding one of their young carriage mares, which, becom­ ing unmanageable, ran at lightning speed down the street. In turning the corner near Scheid's blacksmith shop the mare fell upon her side, catching one of Ed's legs under her, bruising it in a fearfiil manner, but fortunately breaking no bones. It is a miracle that his leg was not ground to pieces. He has been unable to step on his foot since, but is daily improving. Our citizens, old and young, were •hocked and pained on Tuesday fore­ noon to learn of the sudden and unex­ pected death in Chicago of George Mc­ Omber, the eldest son of the late John McOmber of this village. We learn that he had been ill for some time, but no one for a moment thought he was la a dangerous condition. About a week ago be was taken worse and died on Monday evening. He was just past twenty-one years age.and was a young* man of a bright and cheerful disposi­ tion, loved and respected by his friends add associates. H}s remains were brought to this village on Tuesday ievening and buried from the residence of his mother at 11 o'clock today. SEPTEMBER 11, 1889 The Marengo fair will be held next wtfek, S«piember 17, 18, 19 and 20. )n the Genesco paper we find the fol- *> iug account of the Cambridge races, la, which McHenry's favorite horse, "Geoi fre O.," took part: , We understand that the trotting •toUinn, "George O.," has been entered in the free- for all race at Marengo DQXt v. eek'. Stevens A Miller -on the West Side have lieea treating their store to a eoat of paint, inside and put, which much improves its appearanc*. John W. Smith and his grandson, : .Xrfmney Bishop, started on Tuesday for Kearney, Nebraska, where they will make quite an extended visit'with rel­ atives and friends. , ~'t Althoff Bros, have sold the Central 'meat market to Jos. M. Freund, who will hereafter run the business at that plspe. Freund is a first-class butcher and Will be sure to keep the market up to its former high standard. Dr. O. J. Howard has moved his office and residence from the West ""Side and now occupies a pArt'of Lewis Waste's house, one Wock'east of the public school buildin * ani^ nej&rly op- jwsile the McObaey brewery, wherW he can hereafter be found ready to attend calls as usual. The fair at Woodstock last week y drew out a large crowd and was pro- ; ttounced a success in every particular. The most noticeable feature in floral hall was the McHenry department, in which John Evanson & Co. of this vil­ lage made one of the grandest displays «rer seenHn that hall. In the 2:22 class Thursday there were brtt two starters, "George O.," a fine young stallion driven by William Bax­ ter of McHenry, 111., and Star Humble- tcwrian, driven by P. M. Crockett of Coal Valley. George O. has a record of 2:26, this being the first race of his pecond season, but Humbletonian, with a record of 2:23, was undoubtedly the favorite. The result of the first heat was a bad defeat for the favorite. In the second heat George O. took the lead, when Humbletonian's driver com­ menced yelling like a Comanche, fright­ ening the to-be winner and causing him to break both his trot and a blood vessel. At the end of the half mile George O. was bleeding severely at the BOse and was disabled to the extent that he lost the heat on what appeared to the spectators to be an obvious foul. The yelling driver was fined $20. George O., altho in poor condition, Nb#avely finished the race, taking sec- vOgd money.' ADDITIONAL PERSONAL* Dr. C. H. Fegers was * Chicago vis­ itor Tuesday! : C.

Conrath, District Manager Telephone 9903 "jAU:, CONCERNING COUNTY SCHOOLS IRTE^E8Tnra INFORMATION AS SENT OUT BY COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT In 1855 the present district fichodl system was established by the Illinois pioneer.. At that time land had but little value, crops brought but small price and labor received comparatively- meager wages. School houses were built thruout the country and teachers were paid by the greatest sacrifice, li was a marvelous undertaking and de serves hearty commendation. It served its purpose well indeed and the stand-' ard of a community was often judged by the reputation of its school. During the. half century that has passed smarvelous v changes have been wrought in that school community. Land is very valuable, crops are at the highest price, stock and farm machin­ ery of the highest grade have multi­ plied and prosperity is evident on every hand. In fact, these is growing up very fast a landed aristocracy aware of its power in economic and civic duties. At the same time a marvelous change has been wrought in the schools of the county. In the past thirty years the total valuation of school property has risen from 8216,607 to $436,967. During the same period the school tax has Increased from 959,472 to $183,672, while the valuation of taxable proper­ ty has quadrupled many times. Thirty years ago there were\fifty- eight men engaged in school work, forty-eight of whieh were in the rural schools. Today this number has de­ creased to eighteen, all of whom are in the city and village schools. For the past four years there have been ho local men candidates for certificates and only one man is engaged in teach­ ing in this county that is a product of McHenry county- One-half of the school children of this comity enrolled this month in the smaller village and one room schools. In number of pupils taught, these schools are still numerically the most important factor, in the social and com­ mercial life of our county. On their efficiency depends the welfare of the Majority of our boys and girls since so few avail themselves of the local high school. In speaking of tuition fees, it is well to note that thirty yearsfago •1,035 were paid for pupils transferred, while last year the high schools of Mc­ Henry county received a total of $5,144 in tuition fees. In other words, the number of tuition pupils has doubled every five or six years and with the new free school tuition^act of two years ago this percentage of increase will be much greater in the years tQ.come. It i? of the utmost importance that the rural schools shall be made better constantly. Length of te/m, prompt and regular attendance, buildings and equipment and course of study are of importance, but the teacher and par ents are more important still. They make the school in their own image and likeness. Where the school and community are on one purpose, pupils develop rapidly, but where either of these elements are w§ak or are at war with each other school work is retard­ ed. There is both an educational and financial loss. The character and Work of any pupil is largely measured by the attitude of the home toward school work, providing of course that the teacher is at least average in her work. At any rate, the reputation of any school is determined by the atti­ tude of the community^ toward educa­ tion rather than to the long line of suocessful teachers to their cerdit. This is of course doubly true of the rural school. ~ SIX FAST TRAINS DAILY CHICAGO TO ST. PAUL. MINNEAPOLIS, VIA CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN RY. Lv.
