DiEO.-^Sunday evening, March 7th, 1897, at th« home of her parents, LENA, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Buss. The Subject of the above notice was born in this village, Feb. 24th, 1897. That "Death loves a shining mark" is strikingly illustrated in this, its first visit to that once happy home, where she was the idol of her parents, brothers and sisters. The greater part of her life was spent in McHenry, she having attended the different schools in this village until .bout a year ago, where, by the gentle­ ness find purity of her character, she won the esteem of all who knew her. The last few months were spent by her in Chicago where she was employed until a short time ago. Her health failing, she return­ ed to her home in this village, where, under the kind.care ot her parents, she seemed so much improved that her friends entertained hopes of her recovery, until a short time before her death, when she was stricken with neuralgia of the h^art, and in spite of all thrtt loving hands and the best medical skill could do toi relieve her sufferings, she gradually became worse until death came to her reliefs She bore her sufferings with true christian fortitude, and meekly submit­ ted to the will of her Heavenly Father, who doeth all things well. - Her funeral was held at St, Mary's German Catholic.church on Wednesday, March 10th. The solemn Requiem Mass was sung by Rev. Father Kirech, of McHenry, assisted by Rev. Father Suerth and Rev. Father Rapp, of Chicago, after which an appropriate, and affecting ser­ mon was delivered by Rev. Father Kirsch. During the course of his sermon he said many tind words in praise of the deceased young lady, and spoke very consolingly to the afflicted family. Her remains were then carried to their last resting place in St. Mary's cemetery. Besides her afflicted parents she leaves five brothers, five sisters and a host of friends to mourn her early death. "There ia no death! the etars go down To rise upon some fa 'rer shore; Ami bright in Heaven's jeweled ciown They sLine forsvermore. There is no<1eath! an angel form Walks o 'er the enrr .h with si lent tread ; He bears our best l ived friends away, And thr-n « e call them "dead," He leives our hearts al l deto 'ale; He plucks our fairest , sweetest ( lowers; Tru spl»nt»d into bias, they now Adorn immottai bowers. For when he see* a smile too br '?ht , Or hearts too pure for t i inbof vice. He ' jears i t to that worl 1 of l ig t , To d well in piradite, ** Card of Thanks. To our friends and neighbors who so kindly aided and assisted us during the sickness and at the death and burial of our beloved daughter and sister, we wish in this public manner to return our heartfelt thanks, and should they ever be called upon to pass throug a like ordeal, that equally as willing hands be stretch­ ed forth to help them bear tho burden is our sincere wish. BERNARD Boss AND FAMILY. DIED.--On Sunday, March 14th, 1897, EVA, youngest child of Jacob and Mary Justen, aged 2 years, 11 months and 15 days. Little Eva was sick for four or five weeks with a complication of diseases, starting with a hard cold and la grippe and pneumonia setting in, and despite the best of care and medical skill she gradually sank until death came as a relief to her sufferings. She was a bright and winsome child and the idol of her parents, who have the heartfelt sympa­ thy of all in their hour of sorrow, Oard of Thanks. We wish to return our heartfelt thanks to our neighbors and friends who so kindly aided and assisted us during the sickness and after the death of our be­ loved daughter, Eva. May the giver of all good remember them when like trouble overtakes them is "our sincere wish. JACOB JUSTEN AND WIFE.

MEMORIAL DAY falls, on Suuday this year and it is a question among neigh­ boring Grand Army Posts whether to ob­ serve this day or the proceeding Satur­ day. Either day would be suitable for the event, and provided the Post of th:s village chooses to observe Sunday it would be highly proper, as the exercises are of such a character as to inculcate patriotism and reverence, and the day would no doubt be more appropriately observed by all classes than is usual, if the decision is to have the ceremonies on Sunday.

R'y, near the Terra Cotta Works, four miles south of this village, on Friday last, which resulted in the instant death of John Mahr, brakeman on the freight train which passes this station at 11:05 A. M. The particulars as we learn them ure as follows: The train was switching cars to the Terra Cotta works, and hav­ ing finished that had started back toward the depot. The last seen of Mahr alive was when he signaled the engineer to go ahead. He was then standing in the center of the car next to the engine. The cars had gone but a short distance when the rear brakeman felt a jar, aud looking down as the car passed saw the body of Mahr literally cut in two. As no one saw him fall, the supposition is that in attempting to pass from the tpp of the car to the ten­ der ot the engine, he fell, with the result above stated. His death must pf coui se have been instantaneous.. His remains were picked up f nd brought to McHenry and Coroner Wernham, of Marengo, tele­ graphed for, who arrived here at-10 o'clock Saturday morning when a cor­ oner's jury was impaneled, with H- C - Mead as foreman, who, after hearing tie testimony of the train crew, brought in u verdict of accidental death, and ex­ onerated the railroad company from all blame in the matter. Mahr resided in Chicago, and leaves two children, aged 7 and 11 years, hie wife having died some two years ago. Lincoln Oats for Sale.

Mary Harrison *ae born iu Yorkshire, England, March 14, 1812, and had she lived but four more days would have been 85 years of age. She was married while a resident of England to Robert Thompson, in the spring of 1840, whose death occurred in the 'all of '95. They came to America in 1845, thei voyage across the Atlantic iat-tiog fourteen weeks Ou the fourth of July they arrived at Chicago, whose pop illation at that time was about 20,000. They selected a tract of land located in the town of Greenwood, aud out of what was then a wilderness proceeded to wrest rhe necessaries of life. On this farm they lived until 1890, when they came to Ringwood to live with their daughter, Elizabeth. Eiirht children were borv to them, six of whom are living and were present to the last duty that is retired by father or mother. The services were held on Friday at the M. 3, Church, con ducted by Rev. Sunderlin, ot Woodstock, fier body was borne to its last resting place by her old time neighbors and friends. Her long life has played an im­ portant part in the lives of many that will sadly miss her. Though lost to •<ight she will ever be held dear to our memory. From our earliest recollection «he has always been the same, and as the memory pf pleasant visits to her home come back to us. Who can say wt do not ljve them over again, and in liv­ ing- them over make that gulf which sep­ arates us vanish for the time. She hat- found a dear one on the other side.
