Welter AUGUST 1878 William Paige had on our streets on Monday a four-months'-old Durham ?alf that weighed 500 pounds. Besides being large it was a fine, square-built, and as handsome an animal as one would wish to see. At the present time our village is one vast field of weeds, the sidewalks in many places being lined waist high. For the looks artd credit of our village, our citizens should see that these unsightly things are removed at once. It will take but little work for* each >ne, and the improvement will more than l«pay the trouble. The travel to Fox Lake the present season has been greater than ever/before, and the prospects are that will materially increase in the fuUrfe. The steamer "Excelsior" has so far this season, one hundred and two regular trips and has not failed in a single instance to get passengers around on time for the trains. On Saturday last more than usual interest was manifested in the return game of ^baseball, which was to be played at Libertyville between the Fox River club and the Libertyville nine, || and on Saturday morning when the I i boys started o»t a large number of Our citizens and "lovers of the game accompanied them. McHenry boys are outplaying them at every point; they resorted to the dirty trick of attempting to cripple the players, that they might therefore win the game that they could not win by skill. . AUGUST 1903 The grist mill at Algonquin, owned by Koch & Son, was burned to the ground last Thursday morning. The tire is supposed to have been caused by an explosion of mill dust. The property was valued at $5,000 and insured for $2,000. During the white clover harvest of last June a bee keeper placed a stand of bees on the scales to determine accurately just what a swarm of bees could do in the way of gathering honey under the best conditions. The test proved that in just one day they added fourteen and one-half pounds of honey to their store. In a head-on collision near Long Lake, Monday, on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road, Express Messenger W. A. Northway was killed and several trainmen seriously injjured. The engineers and firemen of both trains jumped in time to escape death in the smasfi-up. The village boad of Nunda, at a meeting held Tuesday evening, made a tax levy of 4,029, to meet current and special expenses for the ensuing year. This is the first tax levy in nine years and is the result of the village going dry this spring, as there is no saloon liscense money with which to pay expenses. ILLINOIS STATE FiClR SPRINGFIELD, AUG. 18-25 A hydraulic timing device, proven perfect as to accuracy and considered more durable than electric equipment manufactured for that purpose, will be used at the Illinois State Fair, August 18 and 25 to time, the rafting motor cars. The automatic timet It to be installed by the inventor, Robert M. Roof, of Anderson, Ii)d., as a means of introducing it to auto racing people. THe~A«ierican Open Racing association* officials, who hae seen it work on eastern tracks, give the following explanation of its mechanism. A flexible tube, containing glycerine and alcohol (probably denatured) lies across the track. The fluid contents is compressed so that pressure anywhere along the tube exerts an impulse at the ends. At the timers' stand, one end of the tube is attached to a specially constructed stop watch. The revice is set for action when the motor car approaches. The instant the wheel strikes the hose line, it "punches the time clock." j*he clock is sealed within a container, preventing any tampering. Until the car completes the circuit, time is registered against it, and no one can influence the number t>f seconds that are marked up by the impartial mechanism. When the race or time trial is completed, the timer is set to stop the watch. It starts and stops the watch "without the aid of human hands." This device, eliminating the human element, is considered as more essential for the state fair auto races this year than formerly, the fair officials state. W!ith a speedway that is recognized throughout America as the fastest mile dirt oval ever constructed, and the fastest cars the year produces coming here to compete for prizes, some,, record time is naturally expected. Aft $1,000 cash, and the honor that goes with a world's championship hinging on perhaps a scant fraction of a second, it is necessary to avoid the possibility of disputed records," Stillman J. Stanard commented, upon approving the association's plans for the automatic timer. "We look for greater speed this year than state fair visitors have ever seen before. We believe the racing as conducted here, with entries open to all comers, is the sport the people want, and we strive to please. "The. greatest grandstand attendance the fair has ever drawn has been attracted by open competition auto racing. This proves its popularity. We hope to see the auto racing circles of America look to Springfield as the racing center, just as the turf fraternity considers Louisville the capital of horse racing. We believe that day is coming." In addition to the mechanical device, the association plans to have five licensed timers "clock" the racing cars. Each of these officials, duly qualified to manipulate a stopwatch fairly and as- accurately as the human eye and skilled hands can perform, will be provided with a valuable timer by the Sangamo Electric Co. These official timers will check one against another in order that the time as recorded and announced may be as near absolute accuracy as possible. Ambulance Service Day Phone 56.
