Mr. • Burns was out over The twp postmasters here have re1 ceived a warning, which is being sent out to postmasters* thruout the state by inspector in charge, James E Steu- art, wfeo has "written them as follows: "Look out for postoffice robbers and safeblowers. They have been at work during the i>ast season and with the approach oi winter months will no doubt resume their efforts. Every possible effort should be made by post­ masters to safeguard all funds and stamps necessarily left in the office/1 The inspector «f the Chicago dis­ trict even suggssts ways of detecting the robbers in advance of their work, and tells them how to be in a posi­ tion to furnish officials with impor­ tant information after such offenses. He^ays: "These men usually travel in the garb of tramps, ride on freight trains, camp afyng railroad tracks, cook their meals over camp fires, or stop at .heap lodging houses and frequent -saloons of questionable reputation. They frequently sleep in the same room in cheap lodging houses or ill a box car. They pose as cheap jew­ elry" and shoe string peddlers, um­ brella menders, wire workers, pot and pan tmkers and also solicit aid on the pretext of being deaf and dumb, at which times they may use regular printed cards or a list especially pre­ pared for signatures. When in finan­ cial straits they beg food from house to house. When any one of these men is seen working a town, or buying li­ quor in saloons, several of their part­ ners will usually t>e found in seclu­ sion near town, because their identity is likely to be better known to the officers. They are frequently accompanied by one or more boys, who are usually chosen in any solici­ tation of alms. "When found in camps near a town for along the railroad right-of-way they should be carefully looked over and scrutinized with a view to later positive identification. In case their having any grips or bundles those should be carefully overhauled and ex­ amined, as frequently they are found to contain stolen postage stamps or other criminal evidence by way of burglar tools, etc. Postmasters ^should carefully take note of all strangers coming into their offices, or for some reasons remaining about the lobbies. "Calls are necessarily made at the office by some one or more of the gang to note the location of the safe, general arrangements of the postoffice room and customs of those connected with the office by way of protection of funds and stamps at night. Any­ thing of that character attracting the attention of the postmaster should be promptly communicated to some reli­ able officer and he in turn should use caution and care to learn where any suspect may retire Or join others for the night.^. "Any peculiar marks or'physical de­ formities of suspects should be espe­ cially noted. Cripples of various na­ tures are as essential to the »f«- blowers as the side shows are to the regular circus." LY EXCHANGE AS AKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES A Shower Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Sayler were given a miscellaneous shower at his country home, Hillside farm, on Tues­ day evening of this week by about twenty of their friends.

Waukegan Gazette, Friday, Oct. 22: Louis Rothers, well known resi­ dent of the county and a resort keep­ er at Grass lake for the past twenty years, was yesterday found guilty on one of the counts charged against him in an information filed by State's At­ torney Dady, when a jury, which heard the evidence in the case returned a verdict of guilty on the first count. The first count as set forth in the 'information charged Rothers with making threats with a gun and inti­ midating a game and fish warden. The case was an interesting one to those who heard the evidence. The game and fish warden had sufficient evidence to show that his charges were based on facts, and as a result of the finding Rothers will, in case the verdict stands up, have to pay a fine, ranging from $20 to $20Q.

Grayslake Times: For Wednesday of this week was advertised a sale at the Ben Hiller farm. But two hours before the sale was to start, the local veterinarian and a state official drove into the yard and told the proprietor that the sale could not be held. Mr. Hiller insisted and informed the men that he had a permit from Mr. But­ ter field of Libertyville. This made no difference, he was informed, as Mr. Butterfield was acting outside of his jurisdiction. As a result the sale was called off. Mr. Hiller immediately Went to Libertyville and consulted the state and federal officials and they upheld the action of the local men. We have it second hand that some concessions were made, but for lack of positive proof we refeain from giving the nature of them. In conversing with Dr. Coulsqn Jie made the following statement: "Positive­ ly no sales can be held in a quaran­ tined district and no one has author­ ity to give a permit. The sale held on the Schlicker farm on Tuesday would not have been held had the officials known of it." AGRICULTURAL BOARD To Hold Election of Officers at Weed- stock Next Saturday The annual meeting of the McHenry county agricultural board for the ilection of officers and transaction of the necessary business will be held it the court house at Woodstock next Saturday afternoon, Oct. 80, at 2:30 o'clock. A report of the past year's business and other information of interest will be given and everyone entitled to a >ote and possessing a membership in this year's board should endeavor to be present. Much good in the interest and up­ holding of the fair can be accom­ plished at this meeting and every member is urged to be present. Ev­ eryone possessing a life membership >r having purchased a membership cicket this year is entitled to a vote. The results of the fair this year vere very satisfactory, especially fi­ nancially, as the receipts were suf­ ficient to pay all expenses, but owing to the indebtedness of previous years Lho board is compelled to issue due bills, so as to pay past indebtedness when due. Many who are deeply interested in rhc welfare of the fair association and • ish to see it continue to be McHenry county's biggest event have offered to turn into the credit of the associa­ tion the due bills they hold, and in so doing assist in placing the association in a good financial condition. The i>oard hopes that this idea will ap­ peal to many more and shall appre- iate hearing from those holding due bills. The officers greatly appreciate the upport given the fair this year by the people of the county and their friends. Everybody worked hard to make this year's fair a success and the many favorable comments heard during the week indicated approval >f what had been done. There are ;reat possibilities ahead and the board ;s anxious to have all members and other interested parties attend the annual meeting, hear the reports, elect capable officers and offer sugges­ tions that will help make next year's fair the biggest and best ever held in McHenry county.
