A sad accident occurred on the farm of C. B. Curtis, near Wauconda, on Thursday last, which resulted in the death of Horace Fisher, the tenant on the farm, who was kicked by one of his horses and died from the effects of it Friday morning at live o'clock. During the storm on Monday night the barn of TBomas Phalen, three miles south of this village, was struck by lightning, and two cows and one horse killed, but fortunately the barn was not burned. Those who have seen the damage say it was a narrow escape as the hay was scorched in many places Wm. Stoffel has been appointed agent and local treasurer for the Metropolitan Accident association for this vicinity. All those having in­ surance can pay their dues to him and those desiring accident insurance can do no better than to take a policy in the Metropolitan, the most liberal associa­ tion in the world. A small cyclone struck this village on Tuesday night. The new ice houses of the Knickerbocker Ice company are a total wreck, a part of the battlement on Owen & Son's agricultural ware­ house was blown off, and havoc on a small scale prevailed generally. We would respectfully request the weather clerk to let up a little on this kind of proceedings. SCHOOL NOTES ITEMS PERTAINING TO OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION News is scarce. Eighth grade girls are graceful at hurdling. Mildred: "They have nut pickers in high school." The eighth grade pupils are select­ ing class pins. Miss Small had a "swell" time last Thursday and Friday. The eighth grade enjoyed an out­ door drill Wednesday. Pupil at eighth grade door: "Did anyone lose a nut pick?" The physics class performed a little experiment in the dark Tuesday. The space back of the piano is well occupied this week--fourth room. M. H. S. has a good looking bunch of athletes for track work this year. Seventh grade pupils are easily ex­ celled when it comes to pose drawing. •The fourth room was visited by two Lilliputians accompanying a baby car­ riage. Signs of spring in seventh grade: Many girls, are appearing in new gowns. How is it that Vinton knows all the curves and turns in the road to Sher­ man hill? The ninth grade boys have organized a baseball team and will challenge any grade team. High school student's definition for a "pun": A reversible reaction per­ taining to a joke. Irene Vasey refuses to sign an agree­ ment the seniors are drawing up. Please explain, Irene.

We have finished reading Enoch Arden in seventh grade and have now entered on the study of "Birds and Bees." The second year algebra class had a difficult task trying to make Mr. Nye understand one of the problems--as they understood it. The boys are scheduled for a duel meet with Elgin high school. The meet will be held at Elgin either April 24 or sometime in May. Wait for the senior class play and you will see that Little puffs of powder, Little daubs of paint, Make the chorus ladies Look like what they ain't. STILL ANOTHER FIRE CENTERVILLE HARNESS SHOP DESTROYED SUNDAY MORNING About one o'clock last Sunday morn­ ing that dreadful blast of the tire whistle once more awakened our citi­ zens from their peaceful slumbers and took the volunteer fire fighters to the M. A. Thelen harness shop, just north of Boone creek, in Centerville, which was discovered ablaze a short time previous. The fire was discovered by an auto­ mobile party homeward bound from Wauconda, where they had been to attend a dance. The autoists first saw the blaze when*coming down the river road and hastened to the Telephone Exchange building, where they notified the night operator. Within a short time after the lire alarm whfstle had sounded its three blasts a small army of volunteers were on hand to tight the blafee. The water was turned on about ten minutes after the fire was first d?? covered, but it was too late to save the stock and building. How the fire started no one will ever know, altho the supposition is that someone entered the place for a night's lodging and thus accidentally set the place afire. It will be remembered that Mr. Thelen recently bought out his West Side competitor and had moved the larger part of his $tock to his West Side store, but still he considers his loss at about 8400. While' the building still stands, the interior of same is beyond repair and same will undoubtedly be torn down. This is the fourth' Sunday fire Mc­ Henry has had within a period of four months. The first of these took place at the Wasnoski home in the north end of town on Sunday, Dec. 13; the second occurred on Sunday, Feb. 21, when the old ice house was destroyed, and Jacob Justen's store was next, this occurring on Sunday, March 21. Here's hoping that there will be no more. If you see it advertised come to, us first. Petech. YOU N O C H A N C E S ! Razors are Guaranteed for Life For Sale by V , E. V.
