"DON'T kill the birds," is the subject of an interesting article by Rev. W. E. Leavitt, which we noticed in one of our exchanges. He who would wantonly kill a harmless song bird is fit only for treason, stratagem and spoils."

SECRETARY. asp THE Trotting Horse, "Ben H," owned by Amarius White, of Gray's Lake, took fourth money in the 2:20 trot, at Aurora, last week. It was a hot race of seven heats, with sixteen in the race. The best time was 2:20%, in which heat "Ben H" was second. THE advent of the warm period, popu­ larly known as the "silly season." has brough with it an unusually large crop of nonsense, and has been marked this year by an early revival of the airship ake. Two men in Indiana are said to be engaged in constructing airships with which they hope to solve the problem of aerial navigation, and a St. Louis men proposes to build an airship trolley line between that city and Chicago. What an airship trolley line is only a man from St. Louis could explain. A miserable imposter is working his game on some of the neighboring towns by selling from house to house a salve which he guarantees to cure warts. All sensible people know that the only way to remove a wart is to rnb it with a raw potato, which iB afterwards to be buried by a cross-eyed negro in the northeast corner of a graveyard at midnight in the dark of the moon. As the potato decays the wart will disappear. This wart salve put up in tin boxes is a de­ lusion and a snare. , WHETHER or not the gold fever has already struck McHenry we are not in­ formed, but that it will do so soon iB an assured fact. Everybody is invited to call at John P. Smith's Jewslry store and see the Nugget, just received from the Yucon country, Alaska. John P. has an uncle in that country from whom he received the Nugget. At least he says so and we know he won't lie about so small a thing as that. It is to be gazed at but not handled. Just call around and see it. RENO'S Oriental Shows and Trained Animal Exhibition is advertised to ex­ hibit in this village on Friday evening of this week, July 30. Those who have seen it pronounce it the best little show on the road. It fact it receives the en­ dorsement of the people wherever it goes. It has an array of talent seldom found in exhibitions of mnch larger pretentions. They have the finest troupe of Educated Dogs ever seen on exhibition and they challenge the world to produce their equal. Read the bills carefully and do not fail to attend. Admission only 20 cents. Children 15 cents. THE Chicago Telegram, printed near Grand Crossing, has the following to say of Prof. Goodman, of thu village: "We are pleased to learn that our former townsman, Prof. F. M. Goodman, was the winner of the $2^0 cash prize recent­ ly offered by the Pabst Brewing Co., of Milwaukee, for the best essay on the most successful method to adopt to pre­ vent the cutting of prices by the retail druggists. This same company has laid aside $£000 to have his article printed and senttbt every druggist in the United States. We are not surprised to hear that the professor won the prize, for he is noted as being a deep and well-read scholar," " WpW?1 BENNETT is now making the popular "Aristo Platino" picture. It has a mat or dull finish which gives a more artis­ tic appearance than is possible with any paper that has been used heretofore. Call and see specimens; THE. meetings of the W. C. T. U. will be discontinued until October. Those in­ terested will take due notice. MRS. E. LAWLUS, President. MRS. T. J. WALSH, Secretary. -- --• ) A DELIGHTFUL day was spent on Tues­ day, at the Melander Cottage, Pistaqua Bay, by the following ladies and gentle­ men : Mrs. IN els J ohnson, Mrs. Tidholmes. Mrs. R. Edwards, Mrs. Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Melander, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Owen, Mrs. C. Melander and Miss Emma Johnson. Cake and Coffee were served at38 o,clock, and a very enjoyable time was had. SOME few weeks since we published a section of the law in relation to killing birds, and among those named as being protected by said law was "sparrows." Some have taken this to mean the Eng­ lish Sparrow, but this is not the case. The bird protected is the American Spar­ row. The English Sparrow has been voted a nuisance and a bounty is paid for their destruction, \ FRED GOODMAN broke the record from McHenry to Chicago, on his wheel, on Thursday last. He left his home in this Village at 12-36 p. M. and made the dis­ tance to the corner of State and Van Buren streets, Chicago, 54 miles, in three hours and forty-four minutes, making an average of a little less than fifteen miles an hour. For this long run on a com­ mon highway this is a record hard to beat. PASTE this in your hat": If you lose the risk you're after, there are others; if you are duped by liars rare, don't suc­ cumb to foul dispair, nor your costly clothing tear--there are others. If your best friend deserts and mocks you, there are others; if your best girl flirts or sacks you, there are others; you are not the only jay who's been treated in that way, just look at her gaily and say--there are others. WE understand that Mrs. Dora Besley Long has been engaged as Teacher of the Grammar Department of the Hebron Public School for the coming year. Mrs. Long is a teacher of experience and hav­ ing just finished a course of one year at Normal is better than ever prepared to fill the position to which she has been chosen. The School Board of Hebron, have made no mistake in their selection of a teacher for their Grammar Depart­ ment. THE Waukegan Gazette says: "Many subscribers of the local telephone ex­ change were granted a novel entertain­ ment a few minutes Wednesday by an opportunity to hear the ringing .of the bells in the steeple of trinity church, New York city, through the Chicago Tele­ phone Company's lines connecting with eastern lines. Incredible as it may seem the ringing of the bells were distinctly audible to listeners at the 'phones over 1000 miles away." At the close of its meeting Tuesday Garland Camp of Modern Woodmen spent 15 minutes trying to kill a bat which was flyine around the hall. Fin­ ally a swipe from Frank Peterson's umbrella brought the intruder low. A bat is about the liveliest dodger known, unless a mosquito or a fly can beat it.-- Aurora Beacon. Hon about a politician after he has been elected ? a DIED.--At her home, four miles north­ west of this village, on the Greenwood roRd, on Sunday morning, July 25th, 1897, of cancer of the stomach.

The many friends of Miss Maude McKinley, will be pained to learn of her death, which occurred at the home of her aunt, in Chicago, on Sunday morning last, after a lingering illness with that dire disease, consumption. Thus in a few short years the mother and two daughters have succumbed to this dread­ ful enemy. Maude was a lovely girl, scarcely 20 years old, and was loved and respected by a host of friends who will mourn her early death.

WHAT THEY SAY OF US. The following are a few of the many flattering notices given the PLAINDEALER by our brother Editors, on the com­ mencement of Volume 23. The McHenry PLAINDEALER has enter­ ed upon Volume XXIII and is daily growing brighter and more popular under the management of Brdther Van Slyke.--Woodstock Democrat. The McHenry PLAINDEALER has just rounded out another year--the twenty- second. 'Twas never better than at present and it is safe to predict a bright, prosperous future for our McHenry neighbor.--Richmond Gazette. The McHenry PLAINDEALER has suc­ cessfully ploughed through the stormy waves of country journalism for twenty- two years and started on its twenty- third year brighter than ever. Success to you Bro. Van Slyke.-- Woodstock Sentinel. The McHenry PLAINDEALER has just entered its 23d volume. It is a neat, clean, aggressive sheet. The merchant? of McHenry evidently appreciate it ai- an advertising medium, for it is loaded to the guards with live, local ads. W« congratulate brother Van Slyke on hit- birthday and wish him many happy re­ turns!-- Belridere Standard. The McHenry PLAINDEALER has print­ ed a couple of numbers in Vol. XXIII. As " Van" says, the PLAINDEALER IB yet a year older than the Herald, and we therefore look to it to set a good ex­ ample in newspaperism- And the PLAIN- DEALER is a good paper, and Brother Van Slyke is an agreeable neighbor, even if he does unmercifully roast some other good fellows occasionally.--The Nunda Herald. The McHenry PLAINDEALER entered last week on volume 23. It hardly seeme so long since we wrote a notice of its initial number, yet such is a fact. We are pleased to note the prosperity of our valued contemporary and think the adage equally true of our neighbor as of wine, that it improves with age. We re gard the PLAINDEALER as one of our very best county exchanges, well printed, ably edited, and an up-to-date publica­ tion. "Long may she wave," etc.-- Marengo Republican. The McHenry PLAINDEALER last week started on the tweuty-third year ot itt work. It is a newsy paper and one ol our valued exchanges, containing a lib­ eral amount of advertising matter and lots of news. Editor Van Slyke has long been at the helm and is one of the veter­ an newswaper men of northern Illinois. The PLAINDEALER has always been fear­ less in its expressions of right and wrong and its policy is originated en­ tirely in its editor. May it always oc­ cupy as good or better position than it does now.--Harvard Independent. Proceedings of the Board of Trustees COUNCIL ROOM, July 26,1897. Special meeting called by President Story.

The whole building has been raised, also the roof of the L, and the whole exterior will be new. G. A. Stevens and wife took the after­ noon train Monday for Elgin. G. A. is still under the doctor's care, but it is hoped with careful nursing that he will regain hie former rugged health. News was received here Monday morn­ ing that Mrs. Krambeer, who lived about thres miles south-west of this vil­ lage had died the day before. They came here from Elgin about ten years ago. C. N. Thompson has been transferred to the Manley Factory, south of Hebron, Mr. Thompson has been a resident of our village a number of years and we are sorry to lose him. A young man from Wisconsin takes charge of the fac­ tory at this place. On Sunday evening the special train from Chicago ran over a man near Mc- Garry's Crossing. The train stopped and took him on board and carried him to his home at Genoa Junction. As near as can be learned the fellow had been drinking and went to sleep on the track, or was bewildered by the approaching train and failed to get out of the way. At any rate a foot is the price of his carelessness. The Superintendent of the Cemetery has informed us that many of the little folks make a play ground of the cem­ etery, and during their stay pick the flowers and in other ways disturb the ornaments that are placed on the graves in memory of departed friends. No serious damage has been done, but it is hoped the little folks will not be allowed the freedom of the yard without an older persoc having them in charge. RIDGEFIELD.
