Tower, a former resident of this county, died at the home of his daughter, at Annawan, Henry county, Illinois, last week, aged nearly 80 years. He was well known here, having at one time taught a sing­ ing Bchool in this village, and was a man honored and respected by all who know him. We have not learned further particulars, E. B. PERKINS has commenced repair­ ing the building lately purchased of the Owen Estate, and has run a partition through the center, making two very handsome little stores. The one on the south side he will occupy hismself for Paints, Oils, Wall Paper, etc., while the one on the north side will be occupied by Heman & Schneider's Jewelry Store. When his repairs are fully completed it will be a fine improvement in that Vicin­ ity. TUESDAY being the birthday of L. H. Owen, about thirty of his young friends, in this village, perpetrated a complete surprise on him in the evening. When he went home from the store about 9 o'clock he found that they had taken complete possession of his residence, and he had nothing to do but to surrender, which he did unconditional^ Refresh­ ments were served and a royal good time was had and in the "we sum" hours the company departed wishing Mr. Owen many returns of the day under equally as pleasant circumstances. THIS is an iconoclastic age. At a Washington celebration at Chicago on the 22d, W. £. Watt, principal of one of the Chicago schools, said: "The boy­ hood stories afloat about Washington are almost without exception groundless. Among them the story about the hatchet and the apple trei. The stories about Washington's boyhood were written by a man named Weems, a preacher, several years after Washington's death. Some of them?w&re copied literally from old EnglisB^tnory books and Washington made the hero. So that, while Washing­ ton 'could not tell a lie,' the preacher could and did."--Ex. ON Tuesday occurred the annual triple birthday gathering at the residence of Isaac Wentworth, in this village, it be­ ing the birthday of Mr. Wentworth, W. D. WentwQrth and Mrs. C. E. Lamphere, whose ages are now 64, 28 and 25 re­ spectively. As we said on another occa­ sion, +his is something unusual, three in one family, father, son and dau whose birthdays all fall upou the/sain day. There were present OH tliisl oci sion, besides Mr. Wentworth and\vvife, John Wentworth aud wife, of Chic»g[o, H. T. Fuller and wife, of Wauconda, C. E. Lamphere and wife and W. D. Went­ worth and wife, of this village. The only ones absent w^re Jacob Wentworth and wife, ot Pingi^l Grove, who would have completed the entire family. As usual they sat down to a regular old fashioned dinner, and when we say that those who "know Mr. Wentworth know just what it means. The many friends of Mr. Went­ worth and family in this vicinity, and they are legion, wish that they may all live to enjoy many returns of the day. The finest stock of Wall Paper ever brought to this town, will be on exhibi- at the new store of E. B. Perkins, on CSd'Sfter April 1st. Do not fail to call and examine it before you buy.

Let Us Have an Answer. MR. EDITOR:--I am told that the county of McHenry has paid out the last year neariy Five Thousand Dollars for bounty on Crows and Woodchucks, and that this is the reason for the great in­ crease in our county tax. Will the County Board please answer this conun­ drum : By what authority do they au­ thorize the payment of this large sum of money? is there any law which allows them to thus pay out the people's money ? TAX PAYER. Bed Hair. Redheaded boys are smarter than most other boys and can carry a lot more freckles. The hair that calls for a white horse is, of course, horse reddish. It goes with a tart temper, too. Red hair, when worn by young ladies, develops a good deal of electricity. You can't help noticing the sparks. Redheaded girls would be nicer than other girls if it weren't for the fac that the other girls are just as nice as girls can be. I The lover says, "In your sunny tresses dear, the warm light loves to linger." The husband says, "Say, Bricktop, will you sew on this button?" Red hair is of great advantage to a pugilist. It denotes an oratorical tem­ perament. Cicero was redheaded, or else he wasn't one or the other. Mrs, Grundy Says. That the size of a room is determined by the character of the people in it. That every sun in the literary aDd scientific heavens has its attendant moon. The combination stands for ra­ diance and reflection. That faith stands in the relation to hope that fuel does to fire. That the new woman in New York is running elevators. She is bound to oc­ cupy an elevated position if the oppor­ tunity offers. That as soon as you try to make a profit on your friends you will have no friends. That the measure of acting is the sen­ timent from which it proceeds. That concentration is the greatest prudence in life; dissipation its greatest evil. That there is always room for a man of force, and he ma^es room for many. The Surest Way to Make Money. Is to buy land in the natural or unculti­ vated state, improve it and get the bene­ fit of the increase in price. That chance is offered by the C. S. Graves Land Com­ pany, R. 311, 56 Fifth Avenue Chicago. (See advertisement in this paper.) At Cost to Close. I have left from the late sale one Gang Sulkv Plow, several Walking Plows, two Uorn Planters, one Stack Coyer, 24x30 feet, one two-seat Surry, one Ro WagonTafcd a few other articles, whi$h will be sold at Cost and Below, as I wish to close them out at once.

Accordingly thirty of her little friends were invited to help celebrate the day. Saturday -morning .-'Winnie was given permission to spend the forenoon with one of her playmates, who lived at a distance, With the request that She re­ turn early in the afternoon. Soon after one o'clock the little folks could be seen gathering at the Hall. After getting everything in- readinpss the children watched for Winnie. Soon she was seen tripping down the street, happy with the day's pleasure, little thinking what was in store for her. On going by the hall she was called by her mother to "come and see what we have found." As she stepped into the room the whole thing flashed across her mind. The afternoon was spent in playing gamejUHi^Jiben came supper, the novelty of; large birthday cake tha eleven wax takers.

A DETECTIVE'S STORY. The Sweetheart R6bbed to Pay a Man's Courting Expenses. "I was disgusted a few days ago at a chse I worked up," remarked a de­ tective to'a Washington Star reporter. "A young lady who was possessed of considerable money and a number of jewels sent for me. She had been robbed of some diamonds valued at sev­ eral hundred dollars*. I finally found all but one pin, they having been pawned. I obtained a description of the mafef who borrowed money upon them, but for several weeks could not locate him. When I did his landlady said' that he had left that morning and was goihg to Baltimore. I watched the depots and was soon rewarded by seeing the man step out of a hack. 1 seized his arm and said: 'You are ar­ rested!' 'What for?' he asked, in a tone that showed he was not much surprised, but greatly frightened. 'That Svill be explained at the station,' I re­ plied. There was a feminine shriek from the hack, and, glancing into the vehicle, I saw it was my fair "client. They'had just-been married tind were starting on their wedding trip, i took- in the situation-fit. a glance and .then .realizing that .1 w as powerless under the new order of affairs,-I said: 'I see now that you are not the man"! want*' and let him gp. .Then he began to blus­ ter. and, ta k ing him aside, I gave him to understand I knew of his robbing the girl to" pay the ,expenses of hi's .court- ship, and lie quieted down'.'Very sud­ denly," A LUNG 6ATH.

WESTWARD HOI A Region Abounding in mountains of Gold and Streams of Silver. During the past quarter of a century the Rocky mountains of Colorado have produced millions upon millions of dol­ lars in gold and silver (and precious jewels) thousands of persons acquiring wealth and ease as a result. Some of the richest gold mines in the world have been discovered during the past year and there is no end to the "lucky strikes" being made at Cripple Creek gold camp and elsewhere. The scenery of the "flyer snow-capped Rockies is unequaled in either Europe or America for grandeur. For several years there has been publish­ ed in Denver a big fifty-six column week­ ly family newspaper which gives ali the most important mining news and illus­ trates each week the very choicest of. this marvelous scenery, contains original western stories of love and adventure, pure in tone; yearly subscribers are given gold rings set with Rocky mountain gems free as premiums.

A Georgia paper tells of a raffle for a minister that was recently held in Parrott, Ga., the. loser being compelled to take him. The Methodist congrega­ tion was having a revival which had dragged its length along until the con­ gregation had become worn out with church-going and providing for the preachers, who came from all around to assist in the cause. The la^t preach­ er that came was the straw that broke the back of the dromedary. No one wanted, him, and a meeting of the stewards was held to consider how be was t.o be provided for. One of t hem ^•proposed "to draw straws for him, which was not agreed to, but finally the question was settled by a proposi­ tion to raille the minister off, and this actually happened, the steward who made the lowest-throw taking the un­ welcome preacher and providing for his physical wants during the closing hours of the long rcliirious services.
