Grimoluby was overcome by the heat and dropped dead in the road, just north of the Ger­ man Church, on Wednesday eveninglast. The past, ten days has been h&rd on the horses, and quite a number have died in and around this village; E. J.

JOHN HEIMER sold his fine young geld­ ing "Centerville" laBt week, to a party from DeKalb, for $275. He was one of the fineBt horses in this section, and while the price paid was good, consider­ ing the general horse market, it was not half what he is actually wwth. WE understand the Celebration and Picnic, at Columbia Park, on the 4th and 5th, was well attended and a very enjoyable affair. The McHenry Military Band was in attendance and nothinc was left undone by the managers to make it pleasant for all. WOODSTOCK sert over a lot of giants on Monday to play our infant Base Ball Club, and of course the Woodstockites won the game. They ought to be ashamed of their victory. It was brute force against science. The little fellows were the best Ball Players by all odd^. So says everybody who saw the game. . A GANG of stove agents have been do­ ing up the country in some parts of Illinois. They sell a cheap range at a fancy price and allow a big price for the old stove, take a note for the range and on the back of the note credit the amount allowed for the old stove, only the credit is not on the note, but on another piece of paper which is easily detached. They never come after the old stove and the note turns up at full face value for col­ lection. Look out for them, they may come to McHenry county. THE Grand Opening and Dedication of A. Englen's new building, on Saturday last, was a grand success, bojth to Mr. Englen, from a financial point of view, and as an aid to the celebration. Mr. Englen, at his own expense, hired Web­ ber's Silver .Band, of Chicago, who, for the number of pieces, furnished more music to the square inch than any band we ever saw. They occupied the hand­ some wagon of the iScblitz Brewing Co. in the procession, and besides furnishing music at the Englen building treated the crowd to the same in different parte of the village during the day. It was a fine thing for the Celebration committee and a liberal thing on t'he part of Mr. Englen, for which he is entitled to much praise. THERE is a movement to make country roads forty feet wide instead of sixty-six as as present. A farmer's institute at Champaign recently adopted a resolution to this effect: "A forty foot road would, be plenty wide enough for all purposes, would be easier to keep free from Weeds, and the farmers would be given the use of a large amount of land on which they now have to pay taxes, but from which they derive no benefit," ^ew line of men's black and brown tiff and Fedorah Hats at Owen & phapell's. Death of Miss Mary Brahan. / SBS Mary Brahan died at 4 A. M. -pday at 520 Division street, Elgin, 43 years. She was a member of St. jlegina's Court, Lady Foresters, and a fervent and devout Catholic. Many friends will mourn her death. A mother, four brothers, and one sisters survive uer. The funeral was held fcpm St. Patrick's Church, thiB village, on Satur­ day morriing, and her remains laid at rest in the Cemetery adjoining. Miss Brahan was a former resident of this village, NoTaTS^Treaders in the county are complaining of being victims of the old, worn-out practice adopted by disreputa­ ble men of pushing the circulation of some newspaper by sending it through the mails without orders and continuing the paper until a big subscription is heaped up, then payment demanded." The man who endeavors to secure a cir­ culation for his paper in this manner is simply doing an injustice for which he should be made to suffer. Don't write the publisher but hand your postmaster the paper and he is authorized to notify the newspaper fake that his sheet is not wanted. No one can be held for a paper who is made to appear as a subscriber in this shameful manner.--A'unc/a Herald. DEPARTED THIS LIFE.--Miss Maria Straub, on the 30th of June, at the resi­ dence of Prof. S. W. Straub, of Chicago, irithe 5t)th year of her age. She was a sister of Dr. Straub, pastor of the Uni­ versalist church of McHenry, and of Rev. Miss Mary A. Straub, assistant pastor of Ryder Memorial .Church, of Chicago. Miss Straub was a writer of botlTprose and poetry, and was a contributor to quite a number of journals. She was mostly known as a writer of hymns, many of which are widely sung in the christian world. She was a conscientious and accurate scholar, and notwithstand­ ing serious physical infirmities that ex­ tended over many years, her pen was constantly, till within a year past, en­ gaged on literary work. The funeral was held at her late home, Rev.; Mr. Miller, assisted by Dr. CantwelI, of "the Univer­ salist, officiating. The special choir sang beautiiully and wholly her own compositions. *»* BUT few of our citizens are aware of how near we came to a serious accident on Saturday evening last. During the progress of the Fireworks oiie of those Rocket JJombs, which are supposed to explode in the air, was thrown from the stand and went in a southeasterly di­ rection, striking the ground near the residence of Geo. Beckwith and within two feet of a carriage occupied by Mrs. 0. W, Owen, who is an invalid. When it struck the ground it exploded, making a hole in the hard road fully twelve inches across and from three to four inches deep, Thinking this was a little too close for comfort the carriage was moved to the shade of a large tree near, but scarcely had they got settled there when another came over, passed through the branches of the tree and barely missed Mr. Owen, who was standing by the car­ riage. Fortunately this one did not ex­ plode. If it had Mr. Oweri would not have been here to tell the tale. It was, to say the least, a narrow escape from death, and the. use of such dangerous ex­ plosives should be prohibited in the future. THE FOURTH IN McHENRY.

Why We Print Personals. We print personals simply because peo­ ple like to read them, and we will wager a nickle to a fivj cent piece that, even those who scoff at the custom can gener­ ally tell who is mentioned in that depart­ ment. Besides this there are few people who do not feel a little thrill of pleasure to see by the paper that somebody has remembered their coming and going, and from the tone in which some people say, "never put me in the paper," We are sure there are numerous cases where these people who are not mentioned feel disap­ pointed. There are cases where the an­ nouncement that a person is visiting in any town may be a valuable piece of in­ formation to the person's friends, and there are undoubtedly other cases where the knowledge that another person is out of town may save some of the newspaper readers the trouble of calling on them. Whether useful or not, the personal men­ tions are generally read, and as long as there are readers of the paper they will be published. Notice of tht Regular Meeting of Supervisors. a .

I The Celebration of our National Inde­ pendence, in this village, on Saturday, was a success in every particular, and is pronounced by all as being one of the best celebrations ever held in the county. Everything on the programme was car­ ried out to the letter as near as it could be, and to the entire satisfaction of the large crowd, which was estimated at be­ tween four and five thousand persons. THE PARADE. The parade, was unique and no de­ scription we can give it would half do it justice. In it was represented almost every business in the village, gotten up in style that ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous, but in such a manner sis to eatch the eye of thewoutsiders, and im­ press upon them what they meant to have particularly noticed. The procession started from the Iron Bridge and met the 9:47 train at the depot, and then returned to the Park in the following order: Marshals. ;; , V~ -McHenry Military Band. President of the Day and Speakers in Carriages, foilowed by Floats repre­ senting: . . States and Territories, represented by young ladies dressed in white. Barbian Bros.--Cigar Manufactory. Simon Stoffel--General Merchandise. Jacob Justen--Furniture. R, R. Howard--Meat Market. John J. Miller--General Merchandise. John Evanson & Co.--Dry Goods, Gro ceries, etc. - . , Gresnwood Pony Carriage. Jacob Bonslett--Agricultural Imple­ ments. , - J. H. Miller--Marble Dealer. Gilbert Bros.--Groceries, Fruits, etc. Modern Woodmen of America, nicely arranged and very appropriate. A. C. Friedley--General Hardware, Tin­ ware, etc. This was one of the most tastily arranged Floats in the procession. Owen & Chapell--General Merchandise. A. Englen--Schlitz Brewing Co., occu­ pied by Weber's Chicago Band. G. F. Boley--The McHenry Brewery. H. C. Smith--Sample Room and Bil­ liard Hall. John J, Buch--This Float consisted of a boat with an old man and woman fishing. Geo. Myers--Road Scraper. T. J. W'alsh--liay Loader. Hauly Bros.--Farm and Dairy Pro­ ducts. , \. F. Willey--Calf Buyer. Donkey and Cart, with motto, "Bound for Oklahoma." Frank Ward--Rag Merchant. McHenry Light Artillery, Followed by citizens in carriages and on foot. There may have been some which we have uuintentionally omitted, but the above are all that we can remember. As we said before we shall not attempt to give a full description of each exhibit, as from the passing glimpse caught it would be an impossibility. Suffice to say the displays and exhibits were all fine, worthy of the day and an honor to our village. The exercises in the Park were opened with music by the Band and singing by the Quartette, after which Miss Bernice Perry read the Declaration of Independ­ ence in a clear and distinct voice and in a manner that was a credit to herself as well as justice to that wise document of long ago. Next came the Flag Drill, by sixteen boys and sixteen girls, under the management of Miss Kate Howe, which held the at­ tention of the vast crowd for fully half an hour, and was greeted with rounds of applause at the close. The perfection which they had attained proved Miss Kate to be an excellent drill master. It was one of the fineBt features of the celebration. Then came the Oration by Hon. O. H Gilmore, of W°°dstock, and we must say [it was the finest we 6ver listen. His Oration from beginning to end was forcible and to the point, and was pre­ sented in so plain a manner that a child could not fail to understand. He was followed by Geo. Waite, of Lake county, but as we were obliged to leave at the close of Judge Gilmore's address we did uot hear him. The balance of the speakers who were advertised failed to put in an appearance. The races, games, etc., in the after­ noon were participated in by a large number and enjoyed by all, The follow­ ing are the successful contestants in each: Tug of War--The side represented by B. V. Rogers, of Lake county. Bicycle Race--R. W. Churchill, of Libertyville. Sack Race--Dun Hall, Lake county;* One Hundred Yard Foot Race--Chas. Wright, McHenry, first; Ed. Norris, Woodstock, second. Boat Race--M. Thelen, McHenry, first; B. V. Rogers, Lake county, second. SwimmingRace--H. Bennett, McHenry. The rag-a-muffin prizes were won as follows: First prize, Hauly Bros. ; sec­ ond prize, Warthan Kimball. A splendid display of Fireworks in the evening ended the programme; We cannot close our remarks without a mention Of the splendid music furnished by the baud and the singing by the Quartet which added so much to the pleasure of the exercises. This closed one of the most pleasant and successful Fourth of July Celebra­ tions ever held in McHenry. There May be Others Just as Good, but None Better. I have a brand new high grade Bicycle taken on a debt, and as I have . no use for same, will sell cheap for cash, or trade for stock or anything useful. What have you ? W. BONSLETT. lml .

' • b The Country Paper The New York Sun says: It would do the hearts of country editors good to ride up town on the elevated cars in. the afternoon of Friday and Saturday on any week in the year. On these two days many business men give only a hasty glance at the evening papers and draw from a pocket a paper that is in marked contrast to the city paper, so far as type and general appearance goes. The type is invariably larger, and the displays to advertisements and the head­ ings to news articles commonly coarser. The ink is not always spread evenly over the page. Nevertheless the businessman opens the paper to the page devoted to village Dews and reads every line there. After that he not infrequently reads the village advertisements and gives a brief look at the editorials. The city man used to live in the village where that paper w&s printed, and he recognizes the names of people there as old acquaint­ ances and commonly old friends. The village paper comes liko a letter from home to the city man Who was; once a villager. ......
