PARTIES who are in the habit of leav­ ing horses tied to a post on the street until 12 or 1 o'clock at night, and some­ times all night, should be taught that horses have some rights that they can be made to respect. The frequeucy of such acts are getting quite conspicuous. WHAT is the matter with this: "The man who reads the papers and tponges as he goes, will never reach that happy land where milk and honey flows; and the man who cheats the printer out of a single cent, will never reach that heaven­ ly land where old Elijah went." THE ladies of the Willing Workers So. ciety, connected with the Universalist church, will hold an Ice Cream Festival and Social, at the City Hall, on Friday evening of next week, May 22d.

THERE is such an increasing demand for houses to rent and so few to supply the demand that it is incumbent on some of our citizens to get to work and put up some moderately cheap houses.

Ct'lyer, whose death we briefly noticed? last freek* and which oc­ curred at her home, in Elgin, Tuesday evening, May 5th, deserves more than a passing notice. She was born iiji Utica, N. Y., in November, 1831, and came to McHenry county many years ago. More recently she had made Elgin her home. She was a daughter of the late Alonzo Hall, of Batfavia, 111. She was married '-to Sheldon la. Colyer in 1859 and resided in McHenry until about eight years ago when she moved to Elgin. Her husband died thirteen years ago. She leaves a brother, Geo. Hall, in Wisconsin and sev­ eral nieces and nephews, whose exact whereabouts are not known. Mrs. Colyer was an estimable lady and had a large circle of friends who loved her for her real goodness of heart and unselfish acts. She had no children and the income from a handsome property was devoted to charitable purposes, anil her memory will Jong be cherished by scores who have received much needed aid and sympathy, from bie£ . generous heart and hand. Among her many other good deeds.she furnished a.room at the Sherman Hospital, Elgin,, in memory of her protege, the late Miss Mary Curtis, who died at West Point, N. Y. Her lav­ ish hand was always outstretched where it could alleviate the suffering oi' add to the happiness Of any, and it was done in so quiet and unassuming a way that t he outside world had little knowledge of the good angel that was in their midst. It was as much a real pleasure to her as it was to those who were the recipients of her bounties. While the writer has known Mrs Colyer for the past twenty yfears we ac­ knowledge our inability to do her mem­ ory justice in this brief notice. She was a woman who to know was to honor and respect, and her memory will long be cherished, by both old and young, who will sincerely mourn the loss of a near an deaf^friend- Her funWaliwas held from the Univer­ salist church on Thursday last, Rev. S Searl,.of Elgin, officiating, and her re­ mains laid at rest in Woodland ceme­ tery, beside those of Tier husband and father. DIED, on Thursday, May 7th, 1896, Lola Alice, infant daughter of Charles L and Mable H. Dates, aged 4 weeks and 5 days. Funeral Saturday, May 9th, .at the Universalist church, Rev. Straub officiating, and burial in Ringwood cemetery. She came too soon and then Lived one short day Of life that's tnortal, when She passed away. brief, Born, lived and died, The blossom, bud and leaf, Cast on a tide! The many hopes and fears, The joy, the pain, The smiles and scalding tears- All seemed in vain. JANITOR BRENTS, of the Public School, gave the scholars in the Primary De­ partments a Picnic in Owen's Grove, on •Saturday last, and to say.that it was a success does not half express it. Johnny had lemonade in abundance, swings, hammocks, and in fact everything to amuse, and under his careful supervision not an accident occurred to mar the pleasure of the occasion. He had a long table erected, at which 84 happy boys and girls partook of substantial refresh­ ments, besides others who by choice camped with their lunch baskets under the trees. When all was in readiness at the table Johnny's attention was called to a place left vacant for him at the head of the table, where he found a lai ere and handsome cake, on which was inscribed these words: "Johnny's Picnic." Taken all in all, it was the most enjoyable pic nic of the seasoiu and the young foiks went home well pleased with their day's pleasure and every one with a good word for their thoughtful and careful Janitor. STOI.EN from the flowers; not secretly and at night, but in broad daylight and by honest legitimate scientific means. Obtained from various flowers, the dif­ ferent characteristic properties of all are combined into one harmonious whole- forming one of the most delicious per­ fume boquets appropriately named "Stolen Sweets." $300 reward wil be paid by A. J. Hilbert & Co., Milwaukee, Wis., manufacturers of this, perfume, to anyone who can disprove the claim that "Stolen Sweets" is a true flower odor and that it is% used by the most fastid­ ious buyers of fine perfumery. If you wish to try this newest, latest, most last­ ing and most refined odor, ask for it at G. W. Besley's, West McHenry, 111. A SMOOTH glassy sea never made a good mariner, neither did continued prosperity, and flowery beds of ease ever develop the full complete manhood. Many indeed are carried along by the tide, glistening and dancing on the rip­ ples like a jelly fish and, in their security, think they are a monster of the deep. But when the storms of adversity begin to blow and the breakers roar, alas they realize their weakness. Strong men are made stronger by trouble and disap­ pointments, but the weak lies prostrate before them. To Teacliers and School Officers. There will be a meeting'of teachers and school officers of McHenry county, in the High School-Building, at Woodstock, Saturday, May 16, 1896.

Mrs. Nash was an exemplary christian lady, a mem­ ber of the Congregational church at Crystal Lake. She leaves' a husband, daughter and son to mourn he' loss? WHILE there are much fewer colts be ing foaled this spring than last of the draft breed, there is a very marked in­ crease in the number of driving stock. A local horseman states that the total number will thereforee be about the same as last year. He says that the horse raising industry will improve from trhis time om--Driving--horses are $25 higher now than in the spring of 1895 and he believes they will be $25 higher ndxt year than now. From that time on horses will be in demand and enough will, of course, be raised to meet the de­ mand.. This gentleman does not believe the bicycle will permanently displace the horse, as the machine can only be used on hard roads or pavements. Every sack of the celebrated White Swan Flour guaranteed.

Rattlesnake creek, a small stream that empties into the Wabash river from the north a few miles from^Loekport, is one of the most beautiful and pictur­ esque streams in nort&efn Indiana, says'the Indianapolis News. One of the descendants of a pioneer settler in that regions recently related the story that gave the name, to this stream. Several miles, up from the inouth of the creek, near where the two main branches which form the stream meet, lived Mort Eliis, about. 50 years ago. The pioneer's cabin stood on the brow of a long sloping hill at the foot of which was a spring which supplied the family with water. In those early days rattlesnakes were quite numerous and especially so in the Ellis neighborhood, and tha father cautioned his four little rail-Is. to be very careful in their play jest they be bitten. One Sabbath afternoon, as the children were playing" in the yard, one of the little girls, now Mrs. Alice WilSpn, of lvokomo, suddenly broke through the ground and fell into ah aperture up to her arms.' Her eriei§ soon brought out the family, and, in drawing her from the cave, * three rattlesnakes were' found hanging to her clothing. Down in the small cave could be seen" many other poisonous reptiles. Although it. was the Sabbath and Mr, El-Iis was a, devout. (jiiaJrtfl^.yet. l\e deemed the occasion one of moment and-he sent for* several Of his neigh­ bors, ami with them attacked the den of snakes, and when they got through with their work 521 dead rattlers were piled up iri' the yard. An examination disclosed the fact that the spring at the foot the hill from which the family used water was connected by a passage to the snake's den. THE BOSS OFFICE CLERK. How Ho Soils Tickets to Make a Thin House Look Full. The box-office man of one of our theaters let me into a little secret the other day that proves the existence of gray matter and science behind the theater window. We were speaking, says the Boston Traveller, of the de­ pressing effect of small audiences, when lie remarked: "1 assure you that it is a fine art to distribute a small audience so that the people in it will not feel isolated. If the ticket seller knows his business he will so apportion a small sale that a sparse, house will be made to look full. This is done by a nice aequaiiTRnTee with his chairs and the science of distribution, four or live people being seated here, as many more there, and twice as many there, the ob­ ject being to make a little collection of heads visible in w hichever direction one looks, and the squads so grouped as to cover the'beggarly array of empty IxMiches by bringing the heads in range Of one another. "A elever man will seat an audience of 300 so that it will look like one of 000 or 700. FOR SALE.
