DEATH OF WALTER HILL, Just as we go to press we learn of the sudden death of CAPT. WALTER HILL, formerly of this village, who died at his hom^ in Chicago on Monday. We have not learned further particulars. A special committee is in the city mak­ ing arrangements to secure a number of eminent orators and a fine quartet, to be heard at the coming German Picnic^ WE would call' the attention of our readers to the^pew advertisements of Fred Sauer, Elgin ; J. W. Cristy & Son, Ringwood, and the German Picnic, to be found in the PLAIN-DEALER this week. ONE of our exchanges takes the view that there should be no interest collected on notes for Sundays. If a barber rcay not shave a man on Sunday why should a banker shave a man on that day. AN exchange says that the man who thinks a newspaper will suspend because he quits taking it, is like the man that took a drink from Lake Michigan and then looked along the shore to see how much he had lowered the water. THE Tug of War, at the Shooting Tournament, at Schaefer's Grove, prom­ ises to be hotly contested. See notice in another place for particulars. THE work of repairing the Universalist church has be§n commenced and is pro­ gressing favorably. When completed it will be the finest arranged church edifice in this section. Jos. HEIMER has issued bills for a Social Dance, on the evening of Old Settlers' Day, August 22d. Smith's Or­ chestra will furnish the music, ana a general good time may be expected. THE ladies should not fail to call on Mrs. McFarliri, at her store, in the Kelter Block, aud see the fine stock of Embroid­ ery, Crochet Work, etc., there on exhibition. F. B, RICHARDSON left on our desk a few days since a sample of Early Rose potatoek\ raised on his farm, that it would be \rd to beat. He has a large field of tht same kind." LET others twist the mule's tail if they want to; don't boycott bank bills; nail 'em every time. If any of our subscribers have any they do not want just bring them to this office and we will give them a receipt for same. Oh, no, we'll not re­ fuse them. THE ladies of the W. C. T.

WALSH, President. MRS. F. L. MCOMBER, Secretary. ABOUT seventy-five couples attended the Bowery Dance, on the West Side, on Friday evening lapt, and all report a good time. Thes/ dances are becoming more popular each night, the best of music and the best order prevailing at all times. The next one will be held on Friday evening, Aug. 16. ALL those of our subscribers who do not receive their papers next week will understand that they have been dropped from our list. We cannot afford to carry a lot of people who do not pay some­ thing once in awhile. Their accounts will be put in the hands of an officer for collection.

VAN SLYKE, Secret* ry. ! AN exchange paper tells a story of a man in London who determined to spend all he made the first year in advertising. He soon found out that it was impossi­ ble, for the simple reason that the more he advertised the more he .made, and after a strenuous effort to get rid of his money in advertising-he had to give It up. If you don't believe it try it. The Richmond Gazette- says there should be some excellent racing at the driving park, in that village on Saturday of this week; Four races arT billed to take place, .Twith the following5, large list of starters : YEARLING STAKE, Viola Thorne.... ....G W Eldredge, Richmond Tony -i-- Nick Schura\(rer.

THE business man who fools with a dirty rubber stamp instead of letting a printer do a decent job for him is wasting time and losing money in the outcome That is right. If he enlarges his business or adds another branch he . wants the local paper to make a quarter column mention of it without charge. But busi­ ness is business. A good paper is a ben­ efit and the printer must live.--Ex. The Galena Gazette says: "The new state law which applies to the shutting up of cattle and which takes "effect July 1 draws the lines tighter around the vio­ lators of the previously existing laws in that respect. Two prosecutions of resi­ dents Tf an adjoining town have been made since the law took effect. One of them was directed against a widow whose geese had been at large, the new law applying to them as well as cattle and hogs. THE seventeenth annual Reunion of the Lake County Soldiers and Sailors Asso­ ciation will be held at Wauconda on Aug. 29-30. Among those in attend­ ance will be Thos. G. Lawler, command­ er-in-chief G. A. R , F. W. Spink, A. A. G. Department of Illinois, and J. H. Stibbs, of Thomas Post No. 5, Chicago. A very large attendance is expected. J. A. MASON, President.

Two weeks from next Tuesday is the opening day of the great McHenry County Fair, and judging from present indications, it will be a grand' success in every particular.

The ex­ hibits in every department will be larger and more varied than last year,, as big premiums are offered.

Are you going to attend the G. A. R. Encampment at Louisville, Ky., Septem­ ber 11-14,1895? ° v Henry Watterson says: "There was a time when, without any invitation what­ ever, either written or verbal, without so much as an intimation ot hospitality, you insisted upon giving us the honor of your company, and as it turned out, when we were ill prepared to receive you. It were a pity now that we are prepared now that the lid is off the pot and the latch-string hangs outside the door, that you should^ refuse the happiness of enter­ taining you, not with "bloods Jiands to hospitable graves,' but as friends aiid brothers, as fellow citizens who learned to value one another amid scenes that left no time for equivocation and tran­ sactions applying to human virtues the very highest tests." - If you are going to accept this invita­ tion and attend one of the largest en­ campments the Grand Army „of the Re­ public has ever held, yoif^hould not fail to go via the Monoii Route. Many pi you remember your trip over the old New Albany and Salem Railway (non the Monon Route) in the sixties^ in box cars or anything else that would carry-a soldier. We want you to make the. trip again this year, over the same line, in the finest equipped trains in the world- parlor ears, dining cars and first class coaches with double high-backed seats on all day trains; Pullman's finest vesti- buled sleeping cars on all nighttrains The Monon is the direct route between Chicago and Loyisville. Look at the may. ... Post Commanders aud others who con­ template getting up parties will find it to their interest to advise us as soon as possible, so that we may at once secure them such accommodations, both en- route and at Louisville, as they desire. The crowd will be large. In fact we ex-, pect this to be one of the largest en­ campments the G. A. R. has seen in years. be carefully fur­ nished on application to Sidney B.

Take a small stove shovel, heat it red hot and pour on it a few drops of car­ bolic acid, having previously closed all doors aud windows. In a few minutes open the room and the flies will be found to have entirely disappeared. Only a faint odor of carbolic acid fumes will re­ main, which will serve to prevent the flies again congregating. New carpets and oil cloth at Stoffel's.

Watch for him with a gun. The door mat never cornea. / MRS.

The store will be used as a Millinery, Ladies' Fur­ nishing Goods and Dress Making estab­ lishment, which business has been suc­ cessfully followed by Mrs. Spaulding and daughter for the past few years. A CHANGE in the road law makes it. the duty of the commissioner of'highwayPj together with the town clerk and super­ visor, to meet 'ten days after the next annual town meeting in each township and divide each township into three dis­ tricts to be known as the road comrnis- sipners districts, numbers one, two and three, dividing the township into three equal divisions as near as possible con­ sidering both territory and population, and file a plat of such districts in the ' town clerk's office. The purpose of such division is to have the different portions of each township represented by a high­ way commissioner who ia a such district. No two commissionere shall be elected from the same district. WE received one of those continuous poems--that is the kind that has no be­ ginning nor ending--this week. It is from a young man near Fox Lake and is headed "love." Now those that have tears to shed prepare to shed them now for we are about to spnng one of the verses on you for your mental considera­ tion. One, two, three--here she goes: "There's not a day or dreaming night, but I am with thee, there's not a wind but whispers of thy name, and not a fiower that sleeps beneath the moon, but in its hues of fragrance, tells a tale of thee." Guess the young fellow must have dropped anchor near his sweet­ heart's old man, and concluded to re­ main in quarrantine some little time.-- We heard the winds whispering all this week, and have just found out what they were talking ab^put. As regards the flowers, moon, hues, etc., we are a little* off, as we are getting so old we can't see nor smell.» Ah me, oh my.

Since 1878 there have been nine epi­ demics of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and .Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost as severe and danger­ ous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skilled physi­ cians have failed to check its ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying condi­ tions, which proves it to be the best medicine in the world for bowel com­ plaints.
