A CHICAGO man, against whom pro­ ceedings for a limited divorce had been begifin by his wife, testified that, lie had kept his hair closely trimmed to prevent his wife from pulling it out. ^When a man takes such a mean advantage of his wife, we are not surprised that she wants a divorce. No doubt if he had permitted his hair to grow long, so she could get a good grab and drag him around the room three or four times a day to relieve the dull monotony of her household dutieB, she would never have thought of bringing suit for divorce. Husbands should read a lesson from this. , WE are informed that the Teachers and Pupils of the Public School will give a Literary and Musical entertainment, for the benefit of the School Library, on the evening of January 17th, full particu­ lars of which will appear in these col­ umns later.

"DID you observe," a merchant who don't advertise in the paper, said to a customer, "the fine advertisement I had painted on the railing of theS-- bridge?" "Mo," replied thep^stomer, "but if you will send the bridge around to my house I will ti*y and read the announcement. I read the papers and haven't time to go round from place to place and read the boards." And the merchant scratched his head and slowly walked off.

Justus Bangs, an old and highly re­ spected citizen of Wauconda, died at his residence, in that village, on 1- riday morning last, aped almost 90 years. He was sick only about an hour, heart fail­ ure being the immediate cause of dea'h. His funeral was held Sunday .afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse of relative? and friends. An obituary will appear in these columns next week. SED THE DARX BITSB. We pud in a St. Paul, Minn., paper the following account of. the sickness and death of John H. Doran, which will be of interest to his many friends in this county, therefore we republish it in full: It is with feelings of sorrow that we this week record the death of John B. Dorah, a brother of our esteemed fellow^ townsman, F. B. Doran. Mr. Doranias been a citizen of the west side about' ten years, having come here from Illinois to engage in the coal and wood business with, his brother. He had immediate charge of the west side office, and he was a familiar figure on our streets during these years. He was a genial off hand wholesouledfellow whoalwayshad agood ord for hisfriends and was ever ready to do a favor for them. .Indeed, his was a generous spirit. About a year and a half ago he began to complain of notfeel- ing well, but still he was able to be about and attend to his business. Later ab- cesses broke out on his breast and neck and the physicians pronounced his dis­ ease tuberculosis of the bone. He seemed ]to realize that therend was near, but still maintained a cheerful spirit. All through his illness be was tenderly cared for by hi? devoted wife and daughter to whom he was fondly attached: Mr. Doran was an Odd Fellow and at his own ^request that brotherhood conducted the funeral exercises. He was fylso a. member of the Masonic fraternity, holding membership in Shekinah Lodge, Nd-^Tlj and also in Dam&scns Cpmmandry: Knights /Temp­ lar,aud Ozmuh Temple of the' Mystic Shrine.. The: funeral ^er-vices. were con­ ducted on Wedaeedav evening by I)r. IngersoU, of the Park Congregational church, and by officers of Union Lodge, X. 0-0 F. Rev.- Powers an old time friend of I he.deceased, also made an ad­ dress. The bodv was taken by the-eyen- ing train to McHenry, 111. His wife and daughter and F. B. Doran a -companied the remains. Thus there is removed from us a good citizen, a. patriotic soldier when his country needed his services, a firm friend, and devoted hnsband and father. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of all who are acquainted with the deceased. ADVERTISE IN NEWSPAPERS. Every holiday season there bobs up all sorts of little fly-up-the-creek advertising schemes. Merchants and business men are pestered and hounded to death by the promoters of devices to get a bulk of the money spent during this busy season. Yet these schemes have little, if any merit ; they are of practically no benefit as advertising mediums, but they find patronage enough to induce their pub lication. Merchants complain of the annoyance yet they encourage others to embark by giving their patronage, though acknowl­ edging that they receive little or no re­ turn for'their money. The.legitimate advertising medium ip the newspaper. People who have money to spend, and want to buy something, look to their newspapers for announce­ ments ot what they want and where they can find it. Not one person out of a hun- 'Mrs. McDofialclTiFlafi » Uader the abpve head the Woodstock Democrat of Saturday last says: "The case of Mrs. Mary kcDonald, of Green­ wood, vs. Squire Dingee Company, which was an action brought to recover one dollar per bushel for the crop of pickles raised by Mrs. McDonald m the 890, and delivered by her to Dinccee Company. waerdecided by the Appellate courr, at Ottawa, on Friday of last week in favor of Mrs. McDonald. This casG was tried at the lajst January term of our Circuit courtTpefore-Hon. Judge R. P.Goodwin and a jury,resulting in favor Mrs. McDonald, and th'e judgment of the Circuit court, is now affirmed. This case has been closely contested from start to finish, and the result has been awaited with a good deal of interest by a great many outside the case. Attorney Barnes and Frank Spitzer. represented Mrs. McDonald, while John B. Lyon, of Har­ vard, and Jas. F. Casey, of this city, looked after the interests of the Squire Dingee Company. This is only one of the many cases won by Attorney Barnes ia the Appellate court, at. Ottawa," where he has had many cases from this ami ad­ joining counties, and nearly always won. Attorney Barnoe stands'to-day at the head of the McHenry county bar, end his business is steadily increasing,. and to­ day he ranks as-one'of. <the leading law­ yers of Northern Illinois." ; - "" " ' V • dred ever reads a circular or dodger de­ voted purely to advertising. If any bus­ iness man doubts the truth of this he will find proof of its accuracy in the waste basket at his own desk. He will find that receptacle for trash two-thirds full of circulars,'posters^" Holiday Greetings" addresses, etc., many of which have not even been taken from the wrapper or en­ velope. He never bothers to more than glance at these things, and others do as he does. People are more alike than un­ like. When the same man goes home he will find his family poring over the an­ nouncements in their weekly paper, dis­ cussing the bargains offered, trying to decide what they will buy and where they will buy it. Other families do the same thing as his. Not only do the newspapers bring the b^gest and best returns for money in­ vested in advertising, but the merchant g.wes it to himself ^nd his town to give them as liberal a support as his business will justify, an^ 'n preference to any and all other advertising devices. The newspapers always vie with each other in their efforts to attract attention to their town and brings business to the community that supports them. The only way a business community can rid itself ot the itinerant advertising fakirs is to refuse to patronize them.-- Aurora Daily Mews. AUCTION I AUCTION ! MONDAY, DECEMBER 23d, 1895.

Napoleon knew well the value of a vic­ tory. After Austerlitz the world seemed Lis. Fame invited, fortune favored, everything stimulated his aspiring arnbi- t ion. With growing power he gathered the fruits of victory. And so it has ever been. Success succeeds. A notable illus­ tration of this truth is furnished by the great victories won at the World s Fair in '93 and the California Midwinter Fair iu '94 by Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow­ der. E ver increasing sales and popular­ ity have been the result. The people have promptly ratified the official ver? diets that declared that Dr. Prices, for leavening power, keeping qualities, pur­ ity kud general excellence the "formost baking powder in all the world. ' Quite as quickly as the great Emperor do they know the value of a victory that means world-wide supremacy. R1 IMG WOOD.
