It was decided to name one of the little chaps William McKinley and the other William Jennings Bryan, and this proved a happy solution of the diffi­ culty. How many thousands of married couples have been kept together by children.--Dixon Sun. man, A. A. Chapell, brother and sister of the Groom. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C.

WE call your attention to the adver­ tisement of the American Business Col lege, Omaha, Neb. They offer to give a complete course of lessons in bookkeep­ ing and modern business methods by mail free. This shows that they have faith in their ability. It is the most lib­ eral offer ever issued by any college and we advise our young people to investi- gatethe matter audprofit by it. WE notice that one of our eastern ex­ changes will reduce its subscription list to a strictly cash basis January 1, and at that time all subscriptions not settled either by cast) or by note, will be placed in the hands of a collecting agency. This is a proper business requirement and where we have^een trying to bring the PLAINDEALER list for several years. The man who appreciates a country paper is the one who is always willing to pay for it in advance, just as he does for his city paper. EDITOR PLAINDEALER: --Why don't you publish the proceedings of the Vil­ lage Board until two or three weeks after the meetings of the Board? The citizens have a right to know what the Board are doing, and not be obliged to wait until said proceedings are stale with age before getting them. Again we ask what the matter? A SUBSCRIBER. In answer to our subscriber we would say £hat the proceedings are pulished in these columns as soon as received, and that is always from ten days to two weeks after the meeting of the Board. There is no good reason why said pro ceedings are not published the same week the Board meets. BY an Elgin paper of last week we learn thefollowing: It developed Monday that Annie Reichert and John I. Schriener were united in marriage on the 16th of last April by a Lake Geneva justice of the peace. They had thus far jealously guarded their secret. The bride's par­ ents reside at Woodstock and the groom's former home was at McHenry. For nearly a year they have resided at the home of the grooms brother-in-law, W. Smith, 221 Grove avenue. Annie was there to assist Mrs. Smith in her house work and John was a boarder., He is employed in the west side cooper shop. Neither is over 18 years of age. THE Republican County Rally, at Woodstock, on Monday last, was one of the largest, if not the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in the county. There was a large turnout in the after­ noon but in the evening Woodstock never held such a crowd before. There were full 1,500 men in line and the crowd was estimated at about 10,000. Con­ gressman Dingley, of Maine, and Hon. Geo. E. Adams, ol Chicago, were the speakers in the afternoon and in the evening Dingley and others gave the large crowd sound Republican doctrine It was a demonstration that Woodstock and McHenry county might well feel proud of. There were marching clubs from Harvard, Hebron, Lake Geneva, Algonquin and Elgin, who, with five or six brass bands, the grand display ol fireworks and the handsome decorations throughout the entire city, made the day one long to be remembered by the large crowd in attendance. We predict that the majority that will be rolled up for McKinley and Hobart, Tanner and the entire state ticket, on the 3d of Novem­ ber, will be one unprecedented in the hisjj tory of the county.

A schemer will get more for his worthless card than the publisher of a weekly paper with a good circulation would expect for a "whole month's inser­ tion. It is people who have been thus duped that complain that advertising does not pay. As there seems to be no way of stopping these mushroom schemes from coming up in the dark, or to pre­ vent gullible advertisers from investing in them, the most effective method that oan be persistently urged is that mer­ chants should require the schemer to make his offer in writing, and state how many copies he is to issue and where they are to be distributed; then before he pays the bill compel proof to be furnish­ ed that the work has been done. Nine out of the ten schemes would be killed off if this test was strictly applied. WANTED.--A friend; one who will rec­ ognize me when I am compelled to wear patched pants: who will take my hand as I am sliding down hill instead of giv­ ing me a kick to hasten my descent ;]who will lend me° a dollar without two dollars security ; who will pull off his coat and fight when odds are two to one; who will talk of me behind my back as he talks to my face. Such a friend is wanted by ten thousand times ten thousand human be­ ings throughout the whole world. Have your clothes cleaned and dyed. Must come.Saturday or Monday. E. LAWLUS.
