We did not learn whether or not there was any insurance. THE Cold Blast Feather Kenovator, which lean be found in the Zens building, northeast corner of the Park, is doing a good business, and giving perfect satis­ faction in every particular.

Mr. Cadwell invites the ladies to call at the Zens building when he is at work and he will be happy to show them the process of cleaning and putting the feathers in order. He is sure that after you have seen it you will not fail to send along your feathers. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES. The Commencement Exercises of the McHenry Public School, held at River, side Hall, on Thursday evening last were well attended and were of the most inter­ esting character, The hall was packed to its utmost capacity .with an interest­ ed and attentive audience, who showed their appreciation of the excellent pro­ gramme rendered, By frequent rounds of applause. Time and space forbid us making special mention of each „ number of the programme, and where all done so well it is needless for us to do so. Suffice to say the music, singing and recitations were all of the highest order and,a credit to those who took part. The address of Prof. Goodman was a learned and able production, and was delivered in a plain, unvarnished manner that was at once understood by his hearers." As the Professor said, it was a subject that could not be handled thoroughly in a short address, but he brought out many facts that were pleas­ ing and instructive to his hearers. The essay of the graduate, Miss Bernice Perry, "The Advance of Women," was well written and delivered in a faultless manner. It showed deep thought and contained many pertinent and well taken points. It was an essay of which Miss Perry has just cause to feel proud. At the close of the essay W. A. Cristy, Secretary of the Board of Education, came forward and in a few well chosen remarks presented Miss Perry with the Diploma. Miss Edith Curtis, in behalf of the teachers and pupils of the school, then presented Prof. Brazier with a handsome set, consisting of glass and china ware, as a slight token of their esteem. Although taken by surprise, Prof. Brazier accepted with a very feeling and appropriate little speech. Thus ended the Commencement Exer­ cises of the McHenry School for 1897. A BAND of Gypsies, consisting of six or eight wagons, with the usual number of extra horses, men, women and children, passed through here this Wednesday morning. They went east. PROFESSOR AND MRS. BRAZIER left for Harvard this morning, and will go from there to their old home, at HersCher, 111., to spend their vacation. The best wishes of this entire community go with them. THE McHenry Gun Club held their first practice Shoot on Thursday' last, at which time L. H. Owen carried off the laurels, breaking 21 out of 25 clay pig­ eons, Jos.

ROGERS, the tallest man in the state, who measures seven feet and eight inches in his stocking feet, will lead the procession on July 3d, in this village. The Colonel wears a No.. 12 shoe and small boys and "would-be's" want to look out and not get stepped on. GEO. CURTIS has a chicken, about five or six we aks old that i? a curiosity. 1} has but one wing. Where the other wing should be is as smooth as can be, no sign that a wing was ever thought of. George Says that he is a side wheeler and a sure winner. Look out for Curtis' museum at the coming Fair. ON account of the severe storm the Concert by the Richmond-Genoa Octet, which was to have been given under the auspices of the M. W. A., of this village, on Thursday evening last, was postpon­ ed. The rain came down in torrents all the evening, making it impossible for any one to get out. THE Board of Education have pur­ chased from the International Publish­ ing Company a full set, fifteen volumes, of the International Encyclopedia. Tliey are handsomely and substantially bound in .leather, and are pronounced by our beat educators as the best now in use. The price was $60. AT a meeting C f the Board of Educa­ tion, held on Tuesday evening, Prof. F. E, Angevine, of Dallas City, 111., was unanimously chosen as Principal of the MsHenry Public School for the ensuing year. Prof. Angevine comes highly re­ commended as a first class instructor, and we trust the Board have made no mistake in this selection. AN informal Social was held at the res­ idence .of Miss Julia A. Story, on Tuesday evening, in honor of Professor and Mrs. Brazier, who were to depart for thejr new home, at Harvard, III., on Wednesday morning. About twenty-five were pres­ ent and a real social evening was spent by all. Miss Story served refreshments and left nothing undone for the comfort and pleasure of her guests. AT a special meeting of the Village Board, held on Monday evening, to take into consideration the Water Works question, a committee, consisting of the six members of the Board, was appoint­ ed, to visit other cities where the differ­ ent water works systems had been put in, and make investigation as to their workings, cost, etc,, and report the same to the Board, at their next meeting. The committee propose to visit Woodstock, Harvard, Marengo, Elgin, Dundee, Al­ gonquin and West Chicago, and start out to-morrow, Thursday. THE Cabinets for the Chicago Tele­ phone Co.'s offices, in this village, have arrived and will be . put in position at once. The office on ^the east side has been located at the store of Owen & Chapell, and on the west side at the store of Simon Stoffel. Mr. Stoffel has been loath to accept the office for his store, thinking bis place was not as centrally located as some others on that side, but has finally consented, but res^rves-the right to have the office changed if he finds it can be located where it will give better satisfaction. It is expected, the line will be - in working order in a few days. | FOR SALE. A limited supply of six blade Cultiva­ tors at f 18. T.J.WAIr8H. . Spring Tooth Cultivator attachments do the work.

In short the Day will be celebrated in a regular old fashioned manner, and the surrounding country is earnestly request­ ed to turn out and lend a helping hand. Bear in mind Saturday, July 3d, and come to McHenry. POINTED toe shoes have gone out of fashion, the dame who rules fashion says, but shoe dealers, say .people are not will­ ing to go back to mora sensible footweaj- Round-toed shoes are fashionable, but pointed toed shoes are sold. Thechirop- odists rejoice over this latter fact, for the shoep with sharp toes have done much for their business. THE flies are a little late about getting around this season, but they will be more nnmeroua when they do come, and unless you are prepared for them they will torment you, in a hundred ways- swimming in the cream pitcher, getting swamped in the butter, soiling pictures, windows and furniture, walking all over you and singing sweetly (?) when you are asleep--or would like to be; and making life a burden generally. THE tenant on Walter Carey's farm, on English Prairie, n^medtfohii Gustav- BOU, while showing «some friends on Sun­ day last how well he could handle a gun when in the army, accidentally shot him­ self through the bowels, dying almost iustantly. hie was highly respected by all who knew him. His lady friend ie expected to arrive from the old country soon, and they were to be married about July 1st, This will be sad newc to her when she arrives. » . AN exchange says, when you see a man digging in the garden very slowly, stopping frequently to rest, it is safe to assume he is making flower beds for his wife. But if he is working like a Turk and scarcely able to catch his breath you can bet your last dollar he is digging for bait preparatory to a fishing expedi­ tion. But, come to think of it, a Turk won't work--unless in killing Armenians. There must be something wrong with the above item. 56-50 4 50 150 4 50 670 .1 00 7 50 Card of Thanks. The ladies of the W. C. T. U. wish in this public manner to return their thanks to the citizens of McHenry for the very cordial manner in which they entertained the delegates td the County Convention, held here May 28 and 29, and also for the abundant supply of refreshments donated for use at the Hall. The Mc­ Henry Union feel very grateful for these acts of kindness and hope the time may come when they can return them ten fold. SECRETARY. IT is said that a set of swindlers are working Jo Daviess county by establish­ ing agencies among the farmers for the sale of small mills for griudingfeed. Only one farmer in the community to be bless­ ed with the bonanza, and is to receive a mill free when he has disposed of a cer tain number. The usual contract and order,.which later turns up at the bank in the form of a note, accompanies the scheme. Watch for them. They may come this way. WE would call especial attention to the new advertisement of E. B. Perkine, which can be foiind in another place in this paper. He has the only exclusive stock of Paints, Oils, Wall Paper, etc., to be found in McHenry county, and is also ready to paper or paiut your house on short notice and guarantee to please you' in every particular. He is a first-clasp workman in every department of his line as a flne job of Graining at Bishop's Bar­ ber shop will prove. Read his advertise­ ment and call aud see him, at his store, five doors south of the post office. DURING the thunder storm on Thurs­ day night last, the following casualties were reported: Wm. Powers, who lives southwest of this village, had a valuable cow killed by lightning. The residence of E. A. Smith, near Smith's Corners, wes struck by lightning and slightl damaged. The barn of John B.^Trees man, who lives near Yolo, was also damaged by light­ ning to quite an extent. All the above were insured with Simon Stoffel the pop­ ular insurance Agent, which fact is evi­ dence of a speedy settlement of their claims. GRAND OPENING. At J. J. Mertes' Summer Resort, Oak Park Hotel, Pistaqua Bay, on Sunday, June 20t.b, 1897. There will be a Boat Race on the Bay at 3 o'clock p. M., also other games and sports during the day. The McHenry Military Band will be present and furnish music for the occa­ sion. Rtfreshments will be served. Sup­ per 25 cents, or 50 cents per couple All are invited to come out and have a day of real pleasuie. J; J. MERTES, Proprietor. AN exchange gives the following novel recipe for destroying the dandelion pest that i$ in so many dooryards and de­ stroying the beauty of so many lawns: "Take an oil can and fill it with gasoline, and, thrusting the end of it down into thtf pulpy »part of the plant, inject a spooDfi'l of the liquid; In three or four days the long root will be found to rot, and no more trouble will be given by that plant, at leasts*!_This can be trild with but little trouble and expense, and if it proyes efficacious will be of great benefit.
