THE Kenosha Telegraph-Courier hits the nail on the head when it says: '"It is a pretty difficult matter to attempt to teach people to trade with home mer­ chants when the wives of home merchants set the example of going elsewhere to trade." Now that the balloon sleeves are passe it may be of interest to ,non-Biblical readers to learn that those' voluminous arm coverings were in vogue during the time of Prophet Jeremiah, .'and were the subject of his special malediction when he exclaimed: "Woe to th^S woman that sew pillows to all armho'.es." THE cold wave that is just moderating is claimed by the weather bureau to have been the coldest "spell" that has been in this country since 1871-1872. However that may be the present cold weather has been very wide spread and severe and much suffering has followed it. Its effect upQn business, though, has been stimu­ lating and beneficial. AN exchange gave the new fangled lodges, inaugurated especially for the benefit of womankind, a rather hard rub when it tojd of how one poor man, who lived some distance out in the country, was kept waiting on the street until 10:30 o'clock one cold winter's night. When be asked his wife what time the lodge work was done she replied that they finished about 8:30 but had been visiting since that time. New Tennis Flannels, Ginghams, Prints Creton.

' THERE ought to be a common bond of friendship between the country editor and the country preacher, for it is a fact and no one will have the timidity to deny it that editors and preachers are talked about more than any other class, and at the same time the greatest amount of this talk is done behind their backs. But you can't hurt a preacher nor an editor with talk and those who think Ihey >a i should indulge in it until they have sat­ isfied themselves.

THE following advice is offered by an exchange, and is quite as applicable here as elsewhere: Don't ship a box of clothes and provisions a thousand miles away, when there is a destitute boy around the corner. It is right to send help away, but take care of the destitute at your doors before going farther away. Don't hesitate about giving a Presbyterian coat to a Methodist boy, or a Methodist pair of pants to a Lutheran. Give the clothing to the needy, regardless of the religious faith of parents or relatives and you will have done an act that is com­ mendable in the eyes of the Almighty. DEATH OF BIBS. J. R. BRENTS. Our community was shocked, and grieved on Saturday morning to learn of the death of Mrs. J. R. Brents, which occurred at the German Hospital, Chi­ cago, about 8 o'clock on Friday evening. Jan., 29th, whither ahe had gone the week before to have an operation per­ formed for tumor, trom which she had been a great sufferer for the past year. Miss Lucy Smith was born in Monroe county, Kentucky, in 1854, and was therefore in her 43d year. She was .mar­ ried to John R. Brents June 2d, 1877. Camp with her husband to McHenry March 5th, 1882, where they have since resided. Mrs. Brents was a women whom to know was to love apd respect. Of a quiet and unassuming disposition, ever ready to lend a helping hand in time of sickness or trouble, a good neighbor and a christian woman, she had won a place in the hearts of our people, who will sincere­ ly mourn with her bereaved husband in his great affliction. As we said before for the past year she had been a great sufferer and several times came neat? deaths door, and while she knew the dangers always attending such operations, it was at her own re­ quest that it was done, feeling that she could not long survive the dreadful ordeal which she was compelled to al­ most daily pass through and was willing and anxious to take what chances there might be to gain relief. The operation was performed on Wednesday of last week audi thirteen fiber tumors and two abscesses were remoyed, with apparent succtss, but blood poisoning set in which caused her death. Her funeral was held from the M. E. church, in this village, on Sunday morn­ ing, the Pastor, Rev. J. R. Clark officiat­ ing, and her remains were followed to their last resting place, in Woodland Cemetery, by a large concourse of sym­ pathizing friends. The pall bearers were all members of the Board of Education, ol this District, and the G, A. R. Post, of which Mr. Brents is an honored member, attended the funeral in a body. The deceased leaves, besides her hus­ band, one sister and two brothers to mourn her loss. . . Proceeding-* of the Board of Trustees COUNCIL ROOM, Feb 1, 1897.

Ames, living at Terra Cotta, was the victim of a fearful accident Tuesday, Jan. 26, which nearly cost him his life, and which at the best will confine him to the house for a long period. He was watching the horses operate a tread power, and in a moment of forgetfulness, stepped back- wark and waB drawn into the gearing, feet first. An attempt was made to stop the horses, but it was fruitless, the young man being drawn in to his shoulders which presented an obstacle so great as to stop the machine. Hie body passed through a space, it is said, only about ten inches square. He was carefully ex­ tricated from what proved almost his death trap, and Dr. Ballou summoned. On examination it was found thi t his right foot was badly bruised and man­ gled, his hip seriously bruised and bis collar bone broken. His whole body was more or less scratched and contused, but, it there are no internal injuries, it is believed he will pull through. His rug­ ged constitution will assist him in recov­ ery. He certainly has the sympathy of all his friends in hie suffering.--Hera Id. Mrs Crundy Says That a good many men consider them­ selves level-headedf not stopping to ponder on the fact that level and flat are occasionally synonymous. That the common mushroom attains its greatest size in less than twenty-four hours. The mushroom is the W. J. Bryan of the vegetable kingdom. That there doesn't seem to be any honor among thieves nowadays. One of them lobbed a Chicago politician only a few days ago. That a Pullman car porter was lynched the other day near Columbus, Miss. Sooner or later the worm will turn. That Wm J. Bryan's $50^000 lecture scheme would appear to have settled down to a 16 to 1 basis. That David B. Hill has no use now for his "I am a Democrat" plum. THREW AWAY THEIR~CANES. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Clack Creek, N Y , was so badly afflicted with rheu­ matism that be was only able to hobble around with canes, and even then it caus- ed him great pain.* After using Chamber­ lain's Pain Balm he was so much improv­ ed that he threw away his canes. He says this liniment did him more good than all other medicines and treatment put together. For sale at 50 cents per bottle by J. A. Story. * TAXES! TAXES!

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common water glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours ; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine etains lineu it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidueys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowlege so often expressed, (that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the gresit kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder, and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil­ ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or/b^id • fft?cts following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant Necessity of b^ing compelled to get up m&ny times during the night to urinate. 'The mild and extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. I* stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the be.st.

The little daughter of Fred Webber, Holland, Mass,, had a very bad cold and cough which he had not been able to cure witha,nything. I gave him a 25 cent bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, says W. P. Holden, merchant and post­ master at Weat Brimfield, and the next time I say him he said it worked like a charm. This remedy is ^intended espec­ ially for acute throat and lung diseases such as colds, croup and whooping cough and it is famous for its cures. There is no danger in giving it to children for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by Julia A. Story. All kinds of Woolen Goods at cost and leBBj at Simon Stoffel's, West McHenry.
