IN some sections rye and wheat are heading out; this means a harvest four or five weeks earlier than usual, and all other crops will be much in advance of last year.

THE McHenry and Wauconda Base Ball Clubs crossed buts the first of the week and the result was a victory for McHenry by a score of 29 to 13. The McHenry ball tossers are bad men to tackle, not having lost a game this year, and are now waiting for more worlas to conquer. C. H. OSTKANDER, of the Nippersink Club, Fox Lake, came out last week with a handsome brand new four seater, which will be used in connection with the •Club House, for the accommodation of its guests, We predict that Ostrander will be a popular manager of that splen­ did summer resort. THE grass is being cut in the cemetery and private lots are being fixed up in fine shape preparatory to Decoration Day, which occurs Saturday of this week. Many shrubs and plants are being set out. These efforts of loving hands add additional beauty to the natural loveli­ ness of the resting place for the dead. AN Eurlville Oihner recently made the statement thai't every year the gophers and ground squirrels took the first two rows of corn around the outside of his field, but he had a scheme that he thought would fool them, and that he wasn't going to plant the first two rows See ? n.

We have not learned how long he expects to be absent. MEMORIAL, DAY. . The preparatibns for Memorial Day services, which will be held in this village on Saturday, May 30th, under the direc­ tion of McHenry Post, No. C43, ^re all completed. Members of the- Post, old soldiers, sailors, sous of veterans, to getber with the general public, will meet at the City Hall at 1:30 P. XL, and listen to the following PROGRAMME. Music by the Band. Singing by the school. Reading of Orders by the Adjutant. Singing by the male quartet. Prayer by Rev. J. Straub. Recitation. 0 Singing. imitation. Address, by C. P. Barnes, of Wood­ stock. Singing. Music by the Band.

NOTWITHSTANDING the unfavorable weather the Ice Cream Festival and So­ cial, by the ladies of the Willing Workers Society, at the City Hall, on Friday exening last, was well attended and highly enjoyed by all present. The pro- gramnie WafTfine and the Ice Cream and Cake the best, while in the Social part the ladies never make a failure. The net receipts were about $37. AT a special meeting of the Board of Education, held on Saturday eveninp last JolinS. Brazier, A. B.of Herscher.lll.? was engaged as Principal for the coming year. Prof. Brazier comes highly rec­ ommended as a teacher of experience, and the Board have confidence that they havermade no mistake. We trust that he may prove the right man in the right place. All the positions are now filled with the exception of teacher in the Grammar Department. IT is now proposed to authorize post­ masters and their deputies to open let ters on which postage stamps have not been placed, to learn the name of the writer and avoid sending it to the dead letter office. This would be a snap for the postoffice clerks who like to nose into other people's affairs. If all who wijite would have their names and addresses printed on the envelopes they use, as the postoffice department requests, such trouble would not arise. WE hear the Memorial Sermon, deliv­ ered at the M. E. Church, on Sunday morning last, by the Pastor, Rev. V. C. Conk, very highly spoken of by all who had the pleasure of listening to it. In fact so well pleased were some of the old veterans that they drove to Yolo in the afternoon, where it was again delivered by Mr. Cook, and they have no hesita­ tion in pronouncing it one of the best Memorial Sermons they ever listened to. His remarks were clear, forcible and patriotic, and went straight to the hearts of his hearers. While there was a good congregation who had the pleas­ ure of listening to it, there should have been many more. ^ ANY one who has ridden a bicyle knows the irresistible tendency of a ma­ chine in the hands of a beginner to run- directly at any living object it meets. This inclination is stronger toward other bicycles than toward anything else. The first time a beginner rides alone in the street his bike insists upon darting at every other one that appears and no ex­ ercise of wit or judgment can control it. People who have had no experience laugh at this and say it is all nonsense, but every persou who ever learned to ride will agree that the total depravity of the ordinary bicycle is beyond compar­ ison with all other inanimate objects, and that its combative instincts are highly developed.

After the organi­ zation a Banquet was held in Heitner's Hall, which was partaken of by the mem­ bers, their families and friends, and a highly enjoyable evening was spent. The Catholic Order of Forresters was organ­ ized thirteen years ago and is now over 40,000 strong. They Don't See It. A county superintendent in a neighbor­ ing county recently asked every teacher at the county institute who took their local paper to hold Up their ha,nds, and out of about one hundred present only six responded, at which he expressed great surprise and said: "You don't spend one dollar a year with those pa­ pers, yet you expect *hem to print, free of charge, notices of institutes, insert long programmes of same, and full re­ ports of what you say and do on those occasions, and thus expect them to ad­ vertise you and your abilities in profes­ sion, thus assisting you to climb the ladder to higher and betterlsalaries with­ out a cent postage in return." He closed by saying: ' Your condition in this matter would lead me, were I an editor of these papers, to promptly throw into the waste basket any communication sent in by any society, the members of which were too proud or too stingy to take a paper, or if inserting it to demand full advertising rates for every line published." Want Memorial Day Held Sacred. The opinion prevails quite strongly throughout the country that Memorial or Decoration Day should not be made use of as a day of recreation and sport. Recently the Logansport, Ind., G. A. R. Post passed resolutions protesting against the growing places to desecrate the 30fh-of May as Memorial day, by using it as a day for various sports, such as base ball games, bicycle meets, races, foot ball, picnics, and other pleasures harmful to the solemn and patriotic purpose for which the day has been lawfully appointed and set apart, and invoking the public senti­ ment of the citizens of Logansport, and the State of Indiana>to array itself against any attempt that may be thoughtlessly or purposely made to dis­ turb the solemnity of that day on which it is the solemn duty of all to think of their beloved dead and pay tribute t$ their memory, and declare that such sports arenas much out. of place as a dance would be at the funeral of a near and dear friend.

Address. OBSERVER, Ontario, California. Too much for Him. A young lady of Peterson, who was rather delicate thusly applied to a mar- lied clerk-for a pair of garters: "It is my desire to obtain a jyiir of circular elastic appendages, capable of being con­ tracted or expanded by means of oscil­ lating burnished steel appliances that sparkle like particles of gold leaf set with Alaska diamonds and which are utilized for retaining in proper position the habiliments of the lower extremities which inate delicacy forbids me to men­ tion."' They buried the clerk the follow­ ing day. Mrs. Grundy Says. That the'":mercury is doing better by degrees. That the point is well taken regarding Tillman's pitchfork. That the scorcher must be suppressed. Let us begin with Old |k>l. That " is it hot enough for you ?" The question must be barred, for II. H. Holmes is not here to answer. That an exchange perpetrates the fol­ lowing: "It was a fizzical impossibility to resist the soda fountain yesterday. That incidentally, the truly wise man not only knows what to say, but when to say what he has to be said. That the trouble with the democratic party is that each of its wings is trying to fly in opposite directions. Half Kates to Pittsburg.

At a Parisian auction the auctioneer is provided with a lot of little tapers, each of which will burn for abont five minutes. When a bid is made, one of these tapers is lighted in full view of the interested parties. If, before it ex­ pires, another bid is offered, it is imme- ;inguished and a fresh taper placed in its stead, and so on until one flickers and dies out of itself-, when the last bid becomes irrevocable. This sim­ ple plan prevents all contention among rival bidders and affords a reasonable time for reflection before making a high­ er bid than the one preceding. By this means, too, the auctioneer is prevented from exercising undue influence upon the bidders or hastily accepting the bid of a favorite.. i STOLEN from the flowers; not secretly and at night, but in broad daylight and by honest legitimate scientific means.

During the training of the militia in Campbeltown a company was ordered off for ball firing, including a game­ keeper from Amnamurchan, who was singled out as marker. The sergeant took up the iieldglass to see if all was ready, when to liis horror .he saw the marker standing in front of the target Thinking tho man iuSane, the sergeant at once hastened to the rescue and in an authoritative voice demanded the meaning of -such reckless conduct, at the samo timp describing the marker as a fooL "I'm no sic a fool as you think," was the retort.
