Then he calls your attention to the broken part and secures permission to repair it.

Mead at­ tended a Republican Rally at Franklin- ville on Saturday night, and although the weather was unfavorable they report a large crowd in attendance and much enthusiasm manifested. Adolph Fischer, Frank Spitzer and II. C. Mead were the speakers. The Republican canvass throughout the county is progressing favorably and the majority for McKinley and Hobart and the entire National and State ticket will be the largest ever given in McHenry county. 1 AN old man would not believe that he could hear his wife talk a distance of five miles by telephone. His better half was in a country shop several miles away where there was a telephone, and the skeptic was also in a place where there was a similar instrument, and upon be­ ing told how to operate it he walked boldly up and shouted, "Hello, Sarah !" At that instant lightning struck the tel­ ephone wire and knocked him down, and as he scrambled to his feet be excitedly cried, "That's Sarah, every inch."

PEB ORDER COMMITTEE. she again raised her right hand and said: "Aunties, don't ever doubt thefuture." With these words upon her lips she closed her eyes and sank peacefully to rest. Her funeral was held from the Solon church on Thursday afternoon, Rev. H. Slade, of Elgin, officiating, and was one of the largest we ever attended in the county. There were present representa­ tives from Woodstock, Nunda, McHenry, Ringwood, Richmond, Burton and other places, who came out to pay their last tribute of respect to a departed friend, and who followed her remains to their last resting place, beside those of her little daughter. Vera, in the Solon cemetery. Sold at $95 per Foot. Nugent & Marshall Bros., the hustling proprietors of Glenwood Springs Hotel, are preparing for a radical change in their affairs. They have purchased four front lots just opposite the pier and sum­ mer house, aggregating 170 feet and having a depth of 95 feet, for which they have paid $6,100. Upon this property they will move the hotel. It should have been located here at first, not only for the benefit of the hotel, but for the ben­ efit of the whole park. The work of moving will begin at once. This may seem to be laying out a good deal of money and taking a considerable risk for the present hard times, but these gen­ tlemen are among those who consider that at ebb tide it is time to make prep­ arations to take apvantage of the flood tide which must surely follow. Several bids on the work have been received, but the contract is not yet awarded. The building will also be greatly, improved.-- Williams Bay Observer. , A DRUMMER never backs down when he has a hard job to tackle. One of the first things he learns in his business is to make a bluff at every duty that comes his way. Not long ago one of the boys who was enjoying his summer vacation at the home of his wife's uncle was invit­ ed by the old gentleman to say gr ice The drummer had become a favorite of the deacon on account of his affabk ways and general stock of information. He did not like to forfeit the good opinion of his host so he boldly led off as follows: "Our Father who art in .^Heaven, we ac­ knowledge the receipt of your favor of this date. Allow us to express our grat­ itude for this expression of good will. Trusting that our house may merit many good orders from You this fall, we are yours."-- Ex. ' THE Matinee, at the Driving Park, on Friday af.ernoon last, for the benefit of EF. B. Throop, again met with bad weather and a muddy track, and conse­ quently the attendance was small. Most of the races advertised came off, however and the time made, considering the con dition of the track, was good. "Smith­ sonian" and "Centerville" each'took the race it which they were entered in three straight heats. "Ben H," in his trial heat to beat the track record, ml.de his mile, with mud ankle deep, in 2:27 fiat. This is considered as good as 2:20 on this same track when in good condition.

DIKD--At the residence of her hus­ band's parents, in SolOn, September 23, 1896, of consumption, MRS. GRACE STEVENS JOHONNOTT, wife of E C. Johon- nott, aged 22 years, 8 months and 16 d a y s , - i \ • * it again becomes our painful duty to record the death of one whose early de­ mise will carry sorrow not only in the home of her immediate relatives but to every heart where she was known. But a few short years ago she was, to all out­ ward appearances, a picture of health, with the promise of many years of pleas­ ure and usefulness before her. But that dire disease, consumption, had a hold upon her system, and unbeknown to her friends was gradually eating that young life away. About a year ago she began rapidly to fail and from that to the day of her death it wag only a matter of time. All that medical skill and kind hands could do was of no avail, and she sank peacefully into that sleep that knows no waking on the morning of the 23d. Miss GRACE STEVENS was the eldest daughter of Chester V. and Maria Stevens, and was born in McHenry Jan­ uary 7th, 1874. She attended school at the State Normal, at Normal, 111., aud taught school for several years at Dun­ dee, Woodstock, Richmond and Green­ wood. She was mavried to E- C, Johon­ nott, May 25th, 1895, from which union one child was born, which died August 23d, just one month before ite mother. Mrs. Johonnott inherited in her disposi­ tion the traits of her deceased mother in a very marked character. Happy in her disposition, active in body and mind, it was always her aim to make those around her happy. Accomplished, talented, she was an ornament to society and ever ready to lend a helping hand when others could be made happy there­ by, and she will be missed by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Her straightforward, unaffected, but bright and cheerful manner was as rare as it was admirable, and her friends were true friends whose number was only HIT. ited by the number of her acquaintances. Thus a bright young life has gone out, and the world will never look as bright to the bereaved ones left behind. She leaves a husband, two brothers and one sister, besides a large circle of grief stricken friends to whom she was devot­ ed and who returned her affection in its Fullness, who have the heartfelt sympa­ thy of all in their hour of sorrow. One incident at her deathbed we can not refrain from mentioning here. A few moments before her death her aunts, Mrs. Homer Clemens and Mrs. H. C. Smith being at her bedside, she all at once threw up her hands and exclaimed in a clear, loud voice: "Oh, I see my father, mother and little Vera." After a THE REPUBLICAN RALLY. Riverside Hall was filled to its utmost capacity on Thursday evening last, to listen to the political questions as discusB- ed by Hon. 'Geo. E. Adams, of Chicago, and Judge C. H. | Donnelly, of Wood­ stock. Mr. Adams was the first speaker, and in one of the most logical and forci­ ble speeches that we have listened to in many a day, presented the facts to his hearers in so clear and plain a manner that "he who runs might read." He is an able and eloquent speaker and his re­ marks were listened to with the closest attention by the large audience present. He was followed by Judge Donnelly, of Woodstock, and while we have heard the Judge many times, we must say we never heard him make as able a speech as he made on Thursday evening. In short he outdone himself. He pointed out the fallacies of the Free Silver craze in a plain and convincing mannei and repeat­ edly brought down th,e house with his apt illustrations and witty comparisons. The Judge is doing yeomans service in the campaign. The McHenry Quartette added much" to the pleasure of the evening by their well rendered campaign songs. ILLINOIS DAY IN CANTON The following letter will explain i tself: There being such a universal desire on the part of clubs and citizens generally to visit Canton, Ohio, to pay their re­ spects to Major McKinley, thatthe State Committee deem it necessary to combine all parties from Illinois, and therefore have set October 20 th as a date for all Illinois excursions, and the day follow­ ing, Oct. 21st, will be " Illinois Day" in Canton.

It is also desired that this mat­ ter be given the widest publicity in all newspapers throughout the state and also annquueed at all of your meetings hereafter. Yours truly, C. P. HITCH, Chairman.

Albert Lynch, the famous French artist is said to have given us a new and dis­ tinctive type of "American girl" in a picture completed after his return from a recent extended visit to this country. His characterization of young American womanhood is exceedingly interesting and attractive--the conception of a criti­ cal student, and the creation of a skilled painter. Mr. Lynch was commissioned by the Ladies'1 Home Journal to poftray the "American girl" as he saw her, and his picture will be reproduced in the Oc­ tober number of that magazine.
