M., arriving at MeHenry at 2:50. Returning to Chicago, passes MeHenry at 7:17. This makes a very bandy train for our business men. IN reply to the question, "Is the asses­ sor entitled to any compensation for the going to a county seat for bis books and for returning same to county clerk?" Attorney General Aiken replies in' the affirmative and says: "In going for and returning the books, he is engaged in the necessary discharge of hie duties, and in my opinion, is legally entitled to the per diem for such services, the same as though the two dayB were actually de­ voted to the assessment of property."

The pro-- prietor, Mr. Cad well, has recommenda tions of the highest character from per­ sons for whom he has done work in other parts or the county, and will guarantee, all work. Now is a good time to have your feathers renovated. Read his notice elsewhere ih this paper.

He will have Milk, Cream and Buttermilk, which will be delivered at any time to suit customers, and he will spare no pains to give his customers the best service that personal attention and care can give. This is something that MeHenry has long needed and we be­ speak for him a paying patronage. WE last week made a note that the en­ tire corps of teachers in the Public School had been engaged, but since that time Prof. Brazier has sent in his resignation, and at this writing the Board have not secured a Principal to take his place. The pros and cons of why "this is thus" we shall not discuss at this time. Prof. Brazier haB been tendered and accepted the Superin tendency of the Harvard School, and will move his family there next week. FOURTH OF JULY. The arrangements for the coming Fourth of July Celebration, we believe, are progressing favorably. James B. Perry will be President of the Day, with the usual number of Vice Presidents, Miss Bernice Perry will read the Declara­ tion of Independence, and Judge O. H. Gilmore will be the Orator. The other part of the programme we have been un­ able to learn, but that MeHenry will have a grand, old-fashioned celebration goes without saying. Therefore we can say to the surrounding country if you want a good time come to MeHenry on July 3d, 1897, as that is the " Day we Celebrate." BUT few of our citizens or patrons of the Public School, are aware that at the County Fair, ajt Woodstock, last Fall, the MeHenry School was second on High School work and second on sweep­ stakes. But such is the case, and shows one diamond in Prof. Harley's crown for which he has never received credit. We understand that when the contest first ciame to his notice several other schools in the county had far advanced in the work necessary, but with the remark that MeHenry had as good timber in the school as could be found anywhere, he went at the work with a will and under the circumstances the result was mar­ velous. The diplomas for these accom­ plishments have been received and may be seen in the High School Room. ON Saturday morning the livery teams at the mail train going south at 7:34, came near having a general stampede. The team attached to the Riverside Bus made the first start, which started the team on Banly's Bus, whereupon the team attached to H. E, Wightman's mail Bu8,tnot to be left, took a little turn on their own hook. The two for­ mer were stopped before any damage was done. The latter, however, were not so fortunate. They took a straight shoot up Main street at a break-neck gait, and in turning the corner opposite the residence of John Herbes, bus and horses were piled in a promiscuous heap against the fence. The horses escaped uninjured but the bus was a total wreck It was fortunate no one was killed as the streets were full of pedestrians and vehicles. THE following are the names registered at the Hotel Riverside from May 29 to June 6, incl usive:» W. F. Frimbreck, R. J. Frimbreck, P. J. Frimbreck, H. M. Gunton and two boys, L. D.

Granger, on Wednesday, June 9th, at high noon, by Rev. M. W. Buck, pastor of the Baptist church, Dundee, WILLIAM O. GARRISON, and Miss FLORENCE JJOUTH, both of Greenwood. This was one of the most pleasant weddings it has been our lot to attend for many a day. The groom, his parents and many others present were friends and acquaintances of many years stand­ ing, and to meet "with them on this joy­ ful occasion was indeed a pleasure. At exactly 12 o'clock the bridal couple, pre­ ceded by the groom's brother and wife, marched through the hall into the Spa­ cious parlors, to the inspiring music of the wedding march, played by Miss Ella Spaulding, and took their places in front of a handsomely draped window on the east side of the room, when the Rev. M. W. Buck stepped forward and after a few appropriate remarks, proceeded with the beautiful marriage ceremony of the Baptist church, which made the happy couple one for life. Congratulations were then in order and the hearty manner in which they wore given showed the high esteem in which both were held by their many friends, An adjournment was then made to the dining room, where Mrs. Granger had prepared a sumptuous repast which was an honor to the occasion, and such a one as no one knows better how to prepare than the popular hostess on this occasion. .. ' 7 . ' The rooms were beautifully decorated for the occasion, and - presented a very handsome appearance, the work being done by Chas. Berner, which displayed artistic skill, and proved that he was no amateur at the business. There were present, besides the imme­ diate family of Senator Granger, Mrs. Booth and Marshal Booth, mother and brother of the bride; Mr. and Mrs. O. Garrison, parents of the groom ; Mr. and Mrs. N. Garrison, attendants on bridol couple; Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Caffrey, Mrs J. Garrison, of Elgin; Mr. and Mrs. C H. Granger, Mrs. Chas. Ambler. Mrs. Geo. Schreiner, Mrs. J. Dermont, Simon Parker and Miss Ella Spaulding, besides the children of the various mmilies represented.

The Board were very much interested in his remarks, and took the matter under advisement, and it is probable that at their next meeting some definite action will be taken.

Health and Economy) To ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The Cold-Blast Feather Renovating C -. having located in the Zens Building, northeast corner of the Public Square, in this village, for a few weeks only, with one of their Improved Washing Feather Renovators, is prepared to renovate old and new feathers, all of which will ba carefully renovated by washing, and also properly inflated, and all the poisonous vapor evaporated from them; also free­ ing them from all obstacles, dust, dirt, surplus grease, animal and bloody mat­ ter, moth and midge, the latter found in all new feathers. Also the gummy sub. stance, perspiration, poisonous organic matter that is ca6t off from the body of healthy as well as unhealthy persons, which, if left in the bed, will become a depot of disease. With and b^. our pro­ cess we free them from everything which is detrimental to the feathers or to the health of those who use them. Being free from all primary poisons, they be­ come perfectly lively, airy and healthy. It renews them to life, causing ttifem to last much lbnger than if left to their native and dirty state.

Lf N of MeHenry county, was held- in the village,of MeHenry, on May 28, and 29, aud drew together a lar^e and enthusias­ tic company of representative women 'from all parts of the countjr. At thie opening session, on, Friday morning, the roll-call of the local Unions found nearly forty delegates in attend­ ance; Marengo Union leading in repre­ sentation, eighteen ladies from that energetic society having driven twenty- four miles across country to be present. A pleasant feature of the first session of the convention was the presentation of Rev. Straub and Rev. Clark, of the Universalist and M. E. churches, of MeHenry, both of whom spoke words of generous appreciation for the work our women are doing for the welfare of the home and the nation. Following 'the adjournment of the brief morning session the ladies of the MeHenry Union wel­ comed their guests to a bountiful dinner, served in the dining room of the City Hall. " ' ; When the convention reassembled for the afternoon, brief devotional services were led by Mrs. L. 8. Rounds, State President, after which Miss Julia A.Story delivered a cordial address of welcome,, which met a most happy response frorfm Mrs. Wood, of Ridgefleld. The annhal address of Mrs. Clara W. Allen, Couity President, followed, and the plea/ure with which it was received found pression in^a hearty vote; of thanks ac­ corded by the convention. After a full discussion upon the question of retain­ ing county organization, a unanimous decision was reached to abandon the County Union, giving entire support of the membership to the well tried methods of District work. An annual County Institute will hereafter be held under the supervision of the District President. Mrs. Hopper, of Kendall county. On Friday evening the City Hall was filled by the announcement of an address from our inimitable State President, Mrs. Rounds. The national reputation of the speaker was once more sustained on this occasion. The clear, logical ar­ gument, keen wit and unfailing kindli­ ness that mark Mrs. Rounds' platform speeches were all "in evidence," and the impression made by her forceful utter­ ances will long be remembered. The fine music rendered by the Glee Club added greatly to the pleasure of the evening, aud this courtesy of McHenry's leading citizens will not soon be forgotten bj the women of the W. C. T. U. Refreshed and happy by the hospitality of Mciienry homes, the wearers of the white ribbon reassembled on Saturday morning for the closing session of the convention. The morning hour of prayer was led by Mrs. Hunt, of Harvard, fol­ lowing which three addresses were heard with interest. Mrs. Hay, of Woodstock, spoke upon "Who is My Neighbor?" giving practical suggestions as to the •'house to house" duties of christian women. The address, and the discussion which followed, led to some very helpful thoughts as to our uuties as neighbors. A paper by Mrs. Buckland, ot Ringwood, answered the question, "What Can Women Do?" with a well chosen selection of the representative women of the past, who were in turn pictured to us as illus­ trating the various fields of woman's work for the uplifting of humanity and the progress of the world. Mrs. Buck- land's paper, and the dignified modesty with which it was pre ented, won for her an assured welcome whenever she shall again come into our councils. The "Parlimentary Drill" which followed, was led by Mesdames Hopper and Rounds and was, perhaps, the most tell­ ing bit of work done in the convention The final number of the programme--a paper upon "The Mother's Meeting," by Mrs. Hunt, of Harvard, touched the highest point of interest, and moved the deeply attentive audience to a new ap­ preciation of the mother's responsibili ties. In the hush that followed this beautiful address, Mrs Allen spoke a few tender parting words, and with tl e benediction the convention adjourned. A DELEGATE.
