Story never leaves anything un­ done fpr the pleasure of those stopping at his popular hotel. BELVIDERE. in Boone County, had a $60,000 fire last week.

H. Gilmore -as orator of the day."7 This is an assurance of an oration second to none, and one which the citi zens of the surrounding country will be well repaid to come miles to hear. The committee of arrangements, at their next meeting, will undoubtedly ap­ point the sub-committees, when the actual work preparatory to the celebra­ tion will commence in earnest. ' L. H. OWEN, being ia Chicago on busi­ ness Tuesday, ran out to Burnside to take in the State Shoot, which was being held at that place, in the afternoon, and after watching them a short time thought he would take a hand in to see what he could do with the professionals.

There is no name on it. .It is of but little value to the finder. Will any one finding it return it to this office and much oblige tha owner. THE Imp, of Buffalo, N. Y., gives Noah credit for being the first advertiser. It says: "He advertised the flood and it came through all right. The fellows that laughed at advertising were drowned and it served them right. Ever since Noah's time the advertiser has prospered while the other fellow is being swallowed up in a field of disaster." OTIS S. EASTMAN, for more than thirty years engaged on country newspapers in New Hampshire and Illinois, died at Harvard, 111., Sunday evening, May 23d. He was editor of the Independent ten years and at one time edited a paper at Fairbury, 111. At one time he was in the government printing office at Washington.

A MEETING of the crack shots of this village was held on Monday evening last and the McHenry Gun Club was organ­ ized with twenty-six members, and elect­ ed the following officers: President, J. D. Lodtz, Jr.; Secretary, L. H. Owen; Treasurer, John J. Barbian. They have organized simply for their own amuse ment and expect to have two shoots a month, the first of which will take place June 9th. The Club numbers among it* members some of the best shots in thif part of the state. E. J. HANLY'S Steamboat made hei trial trip on Tuesday last, and every­ thing proved very satisfactory. The machinery being all new it was not ex pected that everything would run as smooth as it will later, but it was dem onstrated to a certainty that it will bi no trouble to run from here to Fox Lake inside of an hour. The boat has been fixed up in fine shape and no paint will be spared to accommodate pleasure seekers to and from the Lakes. Wt shall have more to say on this matter next week. THE assertion is a very safe one to make that Illinois will gather this sea­ son the largest crop pf fruit ever known in her history. The orchards are r11 in a most promising condition. From the fact that February and March passed without any "warm spell," the buds have not swollen so as to render the blossoms liable to be caught by a late frost as was the case iu many localities last spring. This is a most favorable condition, and upon, it can be based the prediction of a successful fruit gathering. THE following deputy state fish war­ dens have been removed from office by Governor Tanner: Wm. F. Preston and Jas. Glines, of Geneva; T. F. Frahey, of East St. Louis, and E. Schemerhorn, oi Havana. The governor has appointed the following deputy state fish wardens; John W. Day, Jr., of Clinton; J. D. Miller, Hoopeston ; J. P. Hall, Urbana; Clement Zens, of McHenry; W. B. Ott, of Freeport, and W. H. Moore, of Dan­ ville, to be his own successor. The ap­ pointments are to date from May 1. THE attention of dog poisoners is call­ ed to the provisions of our statute on that subject. Section 203, chapter 38, is as follows: "Whoever wilfully and maliciously kills, wounds, maims, dis­ figures or poisons any domestic animal or exposes any poisonous substance, with intent that the life of any such animal should be destroyed thereby, shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary not less than one, nor more than three years, or fined not exceeding $1,000, or both." IT is curious how anxious some people are to grab at anything bordering on sensational, or that which will injure another, and lend Jan additional spark to a flame already started without foun­ dation or fact. The past week has de­ veloped some things in this line that ought to bring a blush of shame to several cheeks in' McHtnry. But the victims of their bite will silently stand the slander until a time when some things will be better known. They have friends who do not listen to idle talk and are too manly to entertain gossip of the sort we refer to, however much others may do so. This is certainly gratifying. THE attention of the public is called to the new Time Table of theC. & N. W, R'y which can be found at the head of the local column. There are quite a number of important changes which the travel­ ing public will do well to note. A new Sunday train from Chicago has been put on which passes this station, going north, at 10:51 A. M., returning at 7:24 p. M. On Monday next another train will be added which will ru a daily except Sunday, leaving Chicago at 1:15 p. M., arriving here at 2:50. Returning, pass­ ing this station at 6:17 P. M. On the 20th another Sunday train will be put on, thus giving McHenry the best train service she has ever had. Watch the Time Table for the next few weeks. Inter-scholastic Oratorical Contest The annual inter-scholastic oratorical contest took place at the University of Illinois, Friday evening, May 21st. Out of the total number of orations handed in to the committee in charge, ten had been selected for the final contest. Among the schools represented were, three of the Chicago high schools, Prince­ ton, Decatur, Galesburg and Mattoon. After a very spirited contest, the judges finally awarded the first prize to John Clendenning of the Lake high school, and the second prize to Bertram Nelson of the Englewood high school. It ia pro­ posed to make these contests permanent annual events, and they certainly will do much to promote ah interest in good writing and good speaking among high school pupils. , Five hundred sacks of the famous Fancy Flour to arrive this week.

R., were the most interesting held here for years. At one o'clock, the procession formed at the City Hall^nd marched to the Cemetery, where the graves were dec­ orated with the usual ceremony of the G. A. R. From the cemetery they march­ ed to the Riverside Hall, where the gen­ eral exercises of the day were held. The spacious hall was tilled to its utmost capacity, and all listened with closest attention to the excellent programme that had been prepared. Thesinging by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walsh, and W. A. Cristy, the school children, and the reci­ tation by Miss Fannie Osborne, were ex­ ceptionally tine, and were well received by the large audieuce present. The ad­ dress by O. H. Gilmore, must have been heard to be appreciated. It was cer­ tainly the tiuest Memorial Address we ever listened to. From start to finish the eloquent and patriotic utterances of the speaker were listened to. with the closest attention, the large audience being fairly spell-bound by his matehlee* oratory, Judge Gilmore is both an ora­ tor and a scholar, gnd those who failed te hear him on . this occasion missed 8 rich treat. - Memorial Day in McHenry for 1897 will long be remembered with pleasure by all who participated. MEMORIAL DAY AT VOLO. The observance of Memorial Day ai Volo, on Sunday afternoon last, drew out a good crowd of old veterans and their friends, and the exercises were ol the most interesting character. The ex ercises were held in the cemetery and after decorating the graves of th< fallen heroes in the usual form, the gen­ eral programme was introduced. Thert AUS music, both vocal and instrumental, speaking, recitations, etc., all of th< most interesting character. Hon. Geo. Waite was the first speaker introduced. Being an old veteran he gave the aud­ ience a good talk, as he always does, and on such occasions as this his remarks- are of more than usual interest to hit old comrades. After Mr. Waite's address, SimoD Stoffel, of this village, who happened to be in the audience, was called upon, and although entirely unprepared, made e neat and appropriate little speech. He spoke for about half an' hour, and his remarks were plain, straightforward and to the point, and from those present wt have heard them spoken of in the highest terms. Mr. btoffel is one of our most promising young German business men, and although <$e could not talk from ex­ perience, not having been in the army, his sympathies are all with the old vet­ erans, and on the side of patriotism and American institutions, and he is ever ready to raise his voice in their defense. His remarks throughout were well received. Taken all in all the Memorial Day ser­ vices were a grand success and an honoi fco the participants as well as those hav­ ing the matter in charge. Vw DIED.--At the home of her parents, in the town of Wauconda, ou Tuesday morning, June 1, 1897, ELMA C„ eldest daughter of Timothy Bacon, aged 3i years.

Church on Thursday (to-morrow) afternoon at two o'clock Her parents and friends have the heart­ felt, sympathy of all in their hour of sorrow. LIST of letters remaining uncalled for in the P.

All landed on fngleside Shore in safety. It was cer­ tainly fine seamanship that saved the party, as the water was sixty-five feet deep and the. wind blowing a most ter­ rific gale."

Woodstock Democrat. Gone To tlie Better Home. In the funeral attended Sunday in the family at the Whiting home we need not uonaerif the parents felt ready to say in the language of Job, "He bruaketh me with breach upon breach," and yet Irieuds must have felt that there was a glowing ttnd attractive side to it all as they viewed the sweet little babe coming to the arms of its parents for its briel stay, and now BO beautifully colfiued in the little white casket, wreathed in flow­ ers, and the life-like portrait of the elder one passed from the home only two years ago. It was indeed a picture opening as it were into a world of unfading light and glory as they seemed to be welcomed to a day that knows no night-- God's sunshine on their joyful way, Heaven's freedom on their wings. They have gone where there is no blight, and no broken ties of affection, and one of the greatest joys of these par­ ents will be now to think of their little ones who have winged their way to a glory shining in the heavens. The images of two such bright cherubs must live softened and beautiful in their hearts enthroned to dwell there a perpetual presence and a sacred joy. Who shall say that hereafter their dearest shall not hover over their daily path; that the} shall not walk lovingly by tneir side and shed down richest influences upon their hearts. They ought not to think of them lost from their embrace in the home, that they have strayed from God's pres­ ence, or gone from under His eye, for do thay not rise up in their budding charms to a new and more glorious life, to be in the blessedness of the angel throng? The world of spirits is not afar off, and let us not think of the departed as lost to us; no, not even gone from us. But rather let us believe them present with us, still interested in us, in strictness of speech nearer to us than ever" before. You can be happy in the thought that no one is ever lost so as we are not to find them again, as God is good, as God is true; happy in the thought at least that you had such treasures to lose. And when the darkness shall furl off you will then see that every tie broken here only makes stronger the ties that shall bind us to the hereafter; that they are the strands that stretch.across the river of death'which are forming the bridge on which we are to pass to th,at other and more beautiful shore on the other side.
