Game to commence at •'! o'clock sharp. Admission, 15 cents. IT is a pretty hard job to satisfy some people. A hotel keeper at Trenton,, for instance, is kicking against one of the local printers because, in priuting some noteheads for him, the printer put on them the only ornaments he had in stock --a pair of bedbugs--one in each upper corner. The landlord, strange to say, considers it a reflection on his hotel.

THERE are some points relative to the tobacco license that persons are apt to • overlook," said Deputy Internal Revenue Collector C. M. Haven, of Rockford. "Any person or persons selling cigars from a box carried around through the crowd at fairs or races is liable to a fine. IfUJje cigars are so^d from a stand it is all tight and he is not liaole to a fine." DR. HOWE'S next regular visit at I'ar- ker House, West McHenry, occurs on Saturday, Sept. 28.

AT twenty, when a man is young, he thinks he knows it all; he likes to wag his active tongue and exercise his gall; he struts around in noble ragre, the world is all his own ; he laughs to scorn the world of 8ge and lists to self alone. He wears a window in hie eye to see his whiskers grow; he thinks the ladies pine and die because they love him so. At forty, as you may suppose, he's knuckled down to biz; 'tis not till sixty that he knows how big a chump he is. /T jiiEn -- At hirresidence, in this village, >0 Saturday morning, Seirt. 14th, 1895, >f Dysontery, ROUERT WRNJHT, aged 67 pears. * . \ The above announcement, received at an early hour Saturday morning, was a shock to our citizens^ as bat few knew that he-had even been Sick. In fact he was upon our streets up to within a few days of his death. Robert Wright was well and favorably known in this section, and was in reality an old settler, having resided in the village of McHenry for 43 years. Every man has his faults, some one thing and some another, and Mr. Wright was not unlike other men in this respect^ but he had a goodness of heart \ that made him many warm and true Sfriends. In fact-he had few, if any, enemies. In his family he was a kind and' loving husband and father, and as a neighbor and friend was ever ready to share his all. His name was familiar to both old and young, and but few men was more generally known in and around McHenry than he. Robert Wright was born in Yorkshire, EnglatidrTrear Leads, in 1828. AYas married to Miss Ann CoOkstou iq 1853 and in a fortnight thereafter removed to America, coming direct to McHenry, where, he has since resided. Of this mar­ riage nine children.wnre born, eight sons and one daughter. • Five Sons, the daughter and the. sorrowing wife and .mother were present at . the funeral; Three sons are in the state of Washing- tan, iu business. . ' . The funeral was held from his late resi­ dence on Monday forenoon, Rev. J. •^fcraub, pastor of tbe Uuiverbalist church officiating, and his remains were laid at rest in Woodland cemetery. , The bereaved family have the sympa­ thy of this entire community in their leep sorrow. »ieu!MMMB5inwa----a-- The New Safe at Bank of McHenry. We last week mentioned the fact that a new safe for the Bank of McHenry had arrived, and now that it is in position in the Bank, a brief description of it might not be out of place. Its outside meas­ urement is six feet high, 50 inches wide and 10 inches deep. Inside measure­ ment-, four feet high, three feet wide and 23 inches deep. Inside is a steel chest 24 inches wide, 24 inches high and 23 inches deep. This inside chest is locked by three of the latest improved Time Locks. Inside of this is still another small steel chest that is locked by a combination lock the entire safe weighing upwards of four tons. It is both fire and burglar proof, aud is without question one of the best Bank Safes.in this section, and puts the Bank of McHenry among the safest depositories in the state. Messrs. Perry & Owen are to be congratulated on se­ curing so fine an addition to their Bank­ ing institution. HV. IF you have no business of your own don't loaf around the place of another. Nothing gives a business man a poorer opinion of a place than to see half c dozen loafers sitting or loungingaround. The proprietor may be too polite or for­ bearing to order you away, but inwardly he will wish you at the bottom of the sea. If he hires hands he expects them to work in business hours, and the man who hangs around a place of business hour after hour, talking to the workmen is never a welcome caller to the proprie­ tor. In this busy world there is plenty of work for all, and the man or boy who is contented to lie around and Sponge off of others will never amount to anything. EVERY town has its share of young men who are unfriendly to the experi­ ment of exercise--fellows who sit back Complacently, fold their arms and con­ clude that work was intended for those of less beauty and refinement. McHenry is not without these fixtures. They sit around the street, smile at the girls, con­ tinue to eat their father's groceries and smoke other people's tobacco. They flatter themselves with the idea that they are smart--living upon their wits as it were. But the old man won't live always, and soon or late they will dis­ cover their mistake. Our advice to this class of young men would be to quickly respond to a mandate to throw off their coats and go out and maul rails, or straddle a taw-buck and jerk the saw athwart the bosom of au oak limb. A Reunion of the 95th Regiment. ^•Tke twenty-ninth annual reunion of the/y5th III., Iitf'y Vol's Vas held" at NundaSept. 4th, over one hundred of the old veterans being present. After the business meeting the programme was carried out. A fine dinner was served by the W. !{„ C., which did great credit, to the ladies. Adj't W. W. Wopd gave the response,.to the address of welcome by -Capt. J. E. Beckley, and short addressee were given by Win. Andrews, Win. Mar­ shall, Chauncey Parker, Capt. Schellen- ger, and others. Patriotic music was rendered by a male quartette. A num­ ber of letters from absent members were read. After some consultation anddiscussion the next reunion was voted to be held at Marengo, Sept. 4-th<'189G. •" , The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President--J. B. Babeock*, Marengo. Secretary-- F. 13. Cox, Nunda. - Ireasurer--T. Gilkerson, Marengo. Kiee Presidents--A--H. M. Fillmore; B--Robert Ridge; C--John W. Groesbeck; D--J. McDevitt; E--E. R. Morris ; F-- Geo., Eckert; G--Robt. Horan : H-- it. Goddard; I--James Nlsh; E--James Van Antwerp, y Pruifc as a Medicine. Dr. Benjafield says that if people try to live on such thiugs as bread, meat,' eggs, "ce, cof-oa and oatmeal, without the addition-of fruit Or fresh .vegetables, es-. pecially the fruit, ih a- little ..while they will become languid and leaden faced and "die in a few mouths at the longest." He says, too, that if we i^Ould keep our­ selves and our children with clear skins, bright intellects, good digestion, rich colored, healthy blood and strength for work we must regularly take fruit and vegetables, since they are more necessary tor the support of good health than any other articles of diet. The acids and peCtones iu fruits assist in digesting the fats of meats. That is why people naturally take to eating ap­ ple sauce with roast, pig. Girls with mis­ erable, pallid completions ought to eat a quart of strawberries! or several bananas every day. Bananas contain much iron. TJ'ien there is the lemon juice cure for gout and rheumatism, Grapes and other fruits eaten plentifully are also effective for the cure of gout and rheumatism. In the matter of canned fruits the doctor thinks that they should be sealed up only in glass bottles, as the fruit acids are apt to eat into the tinware and beooaie poi­ sonous. He is further of the opinion that millions of dollars now spent on medicines for torpid digestive organs could be saved if people ate fruit habit­ ually. Fruit is a very ^asy medicine to take anyhow, and it is plentiful this year. Badge for Old Soldiers. The Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture has just received the sou­ venirs to be given to all old soldiers on their day at the coming State Fair. The souvenir is a small United States flag, two inches long by an inch wide, having printed ou its face' "Illinois State Fair. Old Soldiers' D&y, 1895." Appended*to the bottom of the flag is a celluloid me­ dallion the size of a silver half dollar, around the edge being tlie words, "Com­ pliments of the Illinois State Board of Agriculture, September 24, 1895." A New Law, A law passed by the last legislature makes it the duty of the owner or any person having charge of any swine, to burn or bury to a depth of two feet any swine which may die of cholera or other contagious disease. The law further provides that no person shall convey up­ on, or along any public highway, or other public grounds, or any private lauds, any deceased swine, or swine known to have died of, or been elaughter- ed on account of any contagious disease, under a penalty of not less than five or more than fifty dollars and also be liable tor all damages on account thereof.

EDITOR PLAINDEALEH A short time since I read a description in the PLAIN­ DEALEH of the meeting of the Old Settlers' Association of McHenry and Lake Coun ties. As I read the proceedings I called to mind the author's words: "There is a language that is mute. There is a silence that speaks." Being one of the Old Settlers of 1842 and 1843 the "long ago" was fresh in mind. I should haye enjoyed meeting with them. It would have been a love feast. A few faces would have been familiar, while many friends lie silently sleeping. I think I should have recognized the Vice Presi- ident as aft old friend. If such an Asso­ ciation should meet once more, if all is jwell, I shall wish to join them. In those name was Harriet Burnham. ivow it is changed to Mrs. Harriet Smith. Mr. Holly also sold another variety call­ ed the "Freeman," which, although not as large, showed themselves good yield- ers. M. C\ Morris, of Nunda, bought thirty pounds of seed from which he rais­ ed ten bushels of choice potatoes. «, „ Public Spirit in. RuraJ. JMstfidts. The editor of the Nen: thiglana Maga­ zine exhorts country neighborhoods to wake up and make the landscape beauti­ ful, the people wise, handsome and pub­ lic spirited. Among other agents to this end.none is more powerful than the pub- lie school, which ought to turn out every year , noble, intelligent, young citizens. The editor says: . . . Two'things must tend to ' make the common schools of the country better nurseries, in the one case, of public spirit and in the other, of interest in country life--the exteusion of the study of our na­ tional history and of civil government and the new attention which is beiug paid to nature studies. Too little has been done by the country schools iu the past to open to the country boy and girl the beautiful secrets of their environ­ ment. Sympathy and sensitiveness have led this one and that into companion­ ship of the birds and the woods and have made naturalists of some. Butevery coun­ try child should be taught enough of botany and geology, of -the-science of the soil and the things that grow in it, of plant life and animal life, to make this world more eloquent and didactic and beckoning than it usually is. \\ e wish that every country school house in the future might be set in a garden and that everything iu farm life might become science before it has a chance to become drudgery. Each town should have its little natural history museum, where every local rock and tree and fern and flower and beast and bird should be rep­ resented, and school should vie with school in making contributions. There should be closer touch between the va­ rious district schools and once a year at least a common" festival at some com­ mon center. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN This is to notify all persons, who arc owing me, either by Note or Book Account, that no person is authorized to collect money or receipt for the same in my name.

Benjamin, editor of the^/>ec- tator, Rushford, N. Y., says: " l^iiay be a pleasure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your-ownstate, where they must be best known. An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking me if they were sold here, stating if they were not she would bring a quan­ tity "with her, as she did not iike to be without them." The medicines referred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheuma­ tism, lame back, pain in the sides and chest, and Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhma -remedy for bowel coto- plaints. These medicines have been in constant use in Iowa tor almost a quar­ ter of a century. The people have learn­ ed that they are articles of great worth and merit, and uuequaled by any other. Thoy are for sale here by J. A. Story. No-. 1 fine salt, $1 per barrel, at S. Stoffel's. HATS. Received last week our advance stock of men's and boys' fall styles.
