Hon. F. K. Granger anil his son, Ed., had a narrow escape from severe injury, if not instaut death, on Tnesday evening. While out driving on our streets with his fine carriage - team, hitched to a light buggy, and when near the residence of A. fesch, on Main street, the Bit of the near horse broke and the team at once became unmanageable and a fearful runaway was the consequence. They attempted to rein them into the high bank in the rear of W. A. Cristy's barn, but without avail, and they went down the street at, a fearful speed. When all hope of con­ trolling them was given up, Ed prevail­ ed upon his father to get out, which he did by climbing over the back of the buggy and letting himself down as easy ae^he could, which, with the terrific pace of the team, was not very easy at best. The team ran on .down the street, Ed. hanging on as best he could until they reached the depot, when they turned to the left and ran upon the east side of the platform, when (seeing he had no control of them Ed. jumped and landed all in a heap on the platform. The team ran up the track until they came to the culvert, when they went down the embankment, horses and bnggy, all in a promiscuous pile. When the excitement was over it was found that the only damage was a few slight bruises for Mr. Granger, while Ed. escaped practically unhurt. The buggy was badly demoralized but the team es­ caped with only a few scratches. Taken all in all it was an extremely fortunate runaway. Those who saw it expected to see both men killed, and under the cir­ cumstances it seems almost a miracle that they were not. No blame can be attached to the team. They are young, were feeling fine, and when the bit gave way they did what most any other spirited team would do under the circumstances. Mr. Granger congratulates himself that the result was no worse. A WOMAN in Cleveland has applied for a divorce on the ground that she "wants to marry somebody else." This is not considered good grounds to allege, and is not sufficient for a decree. The frank­ ness with which it ie stated, however, is refreshing, and as a matter of fact a very large per cent of divorces are for this reason only. AN old fisherman remarked to us the other day that there was nothing .like bottled milk for catching catfish. He said as soon as a bottle was opened sev. eral came up to the water's edge and wiggled their tails. We have heard be­ fore of "liquid bait," but we never thought it took the form of milk. TROTTING! MATINEE. There will be a Matinee at Gage's Driv­ ing Park, in this village, on Thursday of next week, August 19, at which time there will be a 2:27 Class, purse, $100, and a 3:00 Class, purse, $50.

The person who borrowed the set of Jack Screws from Hanly Bros, are re­ quested to return the same AT ONCE, as we want to use them now. We have accommodated you now you accommo­ date us. HANLY BROS. MRS. S. KENNEDY wishes to inform her friends and the public generally that she has removed her Dress-Making rooms to one door south of LawluB' Clothing Store, where she can hereafter be found ready to accommodate all her old customers and as many new ones as may see fit to call. Remember the loca- t'on, one door south of Lawlus' Clothing Store. ' THE new state law which went into effect July 1, makes a burial permit necessary in case of death. This custom has always been in vogue in the large cities but rfow every town in the state will have to observe it. The physician reports the death to the health officer, and the latter provides the burial per­ mit. This will be a part of the duty of every health officer in the country. Peaches and Cream. Peaches and cream will be served on the lawn of »V. B. Nogle, Thursday even ing, the 19 th inst. A prize will be award ed to the handsomest baby under two years of age. The proceeds will be given toward the repairing of the M.E. Church. It is hard to find a person who would live in a town where there was no church. The more the churches the better the people, and the better the church seats the better the sermon. If you believe the last thought, do not fail to attend. Will ba Sold Cheap, All the Brick in the old Parker House Cellar. Apply at oace to A PRIVATE PICNIC Was arranged by the , guests df the Riverside House and held on the beau­ tiful lawn of Summerdnle, the summer home of Mr^and'Mrs. J. S. Mellin, of Chicago, on Sunday last. The party took entire possession and the genial host and hostess made an unconditional surrender of all there was in eight and in store. No pleasanterafternoon was ever spent by any party, and the beautiful shore and its surrounding, (Pitzeu's Point) made everyone present happyjand joyous. The merriment and laughter of the party was carried far across the Bay, and old Bald Knob was kept busy emit­ ting the echoes of the merry voices. As usual at such gatherings, a spread was considered of vital importance, and soon the ladies, made a bee-line for kitchen and larder. Mrs. Mellin, assisted by Mrs. Pike, superintended the preparing and setting of the table, and J. M. Preston was given the position of head waiter. This move was afterward considered as a grave error by the appointive power, as the head waiter insisted upon first being 'waited upon, and performing his duty to others afterward?. To avoid a waiter's strike we had no alternative and sub­ mitted. . / ; The table was bountifully ©applied. Besides the baskets liberally filled by the genial hostess of the Riverside, Mrs. J. I. Story, we found a well stocked larder at the Mellin household, and every oppor­ tunity was afforded to satisfy the inner man, and have enough left for breakfast. After clearing the spread. Games, music and dancing were indulged in and the party turned homeward at a late hour, all of the opinion that the time spent will long be remembered. The party coneisted of Mr. und Mrs. J. M. Preston, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Pike, Misses N. Preston, Edna Story, Sv Shlesinger, S. Pike, R. Raphael, F. Cohn. Mr. L. Kraus. * * WwmM DAVID TATUM, of Denver, Col., a minis­ ter in the Friends' Church, will address the people of McHenry and vicinity, at the City Hall, on Thursday (to-morrow) evening, on "The Wonderful Providence of God in Divine Guidance and Answers to Prayer," All are cordially invited. The lecture will be free, but a collection will be taken up at the close of the meeting. AN exchange says that a woman's character has been likened unto a post­ age stamp, one black mark ruins it, Man's like a treasury note, no matter how manj stains, it will pass at par. When a woman falls from grace her character is generally ruined for ever. On the other hand a man may st'aighten up and be received into society again. All of which is too true; but being true does not make it right." SOME miscreants, with neither the fear o! God or man before their eyes, invaded the hennery of L. H. Owen on Monday night last and carried off eight of his finest blooded chickens. They evidently took^them^or a chicken pie^s they cut off their beads before they left the premi­ ses. It is a pity that such night prowlers cannot be caught and made an example of. Lew says it will be a cold day for them if they come around again. GEO. HUSON, of Volo, has been in town the past week, putting in order the traction engine owned by T. V. Slocum, and which has been in use at the ice house at McCollum's Lake. Mr. Huson is a first class engineer, understands the machine in all its parts, and besides being able to run it is competent to keep it in repair as well. Such a man is of untold benefit to parties using engines, and Mr. Huson is never out of a job. MRS. E. B. PERKINS, at her neat and pl e a s a n t I c e C r e a m P a r l o r s , o p p o s i t e t h e Bishop Mill, is doing a fine business in that line, and giving universal satisfac­ tion. We had the pleasure of sampling a dish of Cream there on Tuesday and must say it was as fine as* any we ever tasted. Mrs. Perkins also intends put­ ting in a nice line of Confectionery, etc. soon, and we take pleasure in recom­ mending all whowiBh a dish of Ice Cream, Cake, a cup of Coffee or a good Lunch, to call at her Restaurant. WE understand that the Excelsior Candy Factory is a new enterprise that will be started in this village September 1st. It will be located in the Wirfs build­ ing, on the West Side. W. H. Ordmann, of Gray's Lake, is the proprietor, at which place he now has a factory, of which the one here will be a branch. He informs UB that he will employ about twenty hauds, and wilt sell only at wholesale. He appears to be a live busi­ ness man and we believe a i enterprise of this kind here is sure to be a remunera­ tive investment. Catt'e for Sal e On hand at all times, choice yearling and two-year old heifers, and a few cows. For sale in lots to suit purchasers. 4tf F. K. GRANGER. BASE BALL. An interesting game of Base Ball waft played at Algonquin the first of the week between the Algonquin "Indians" and the "Flzens," of Chicago. Neither nine, we believe had lost a game this year, consequently both wero confident, the Chicago club in particular. From start to finish the game was of the most inter­ esting character. Up-, to the seventh inning the Chicago team held the lead, they making in the second inning one and the third five tallies, while the "Indians" were content with one and two, but in the seventh inning the "Indians" went for scalps, and that they got them is evidenced by the score, which at the close Stood 10 to 6 in favor of the "Indians," with one inning to spare. The Chicago team did not make a single score after the third inning. Haeger, the pitcher for the "Indians." filled the position without an error and astonish­ ed the visitors, who repeatedly fanned out and could not tell what was the matter. Both clubs showed fine playing throughout, and a« we said before the game was an interesting one from start to finish. The following is the SCORE OF INNINGS: 1 2. 3 4 5 6 7 Indiuns 0 1 2 0 0 0 7 Plzens 0 1 5 0 0 0 0 Should these ttyo clubs come together again this seaBon they will be sure draw a big crowd. ON Wednesday evening last a horse and buggy belonging to W. H. Ames, of Terra Cotta, was stolen from the streets in this village. Mr. Ames came to town early in the evening, hitching his horse on the east side of theSchreiner building, in West McHenry. After getting through with his business he went for his horsa and he was gone. The matter was im­ mediately put into the hands of Marshal Walsh, who telegraphed and telephoned to all of the surrounding towns, but no trace could be found until Friday morn­ ing, when the Marshal received a tele­ gram that a horse answering the de­ scription was at Richmond. He went immediately to Richmond, identified the horse as the one stolen and brought the rig back. The horse was found tied to a fence at the farm of L. B. Covell, near Stone's Corners, in the town of Rich- A NATIONAL HYMN. . It has happened in the history of some nations that an epoch in their Civiliza­ tion occurs which gives birth to a Na­ tional Hymn--a bymn that is accepted by the national heart as all its own, and its own in a peculiar sense; a hymn to be sung as THE hymn of the nation on all national occasions. Such a hymn should be a native product, both in words and music. That the United States of Amer­ ica has as yejb no such hymn will not be disputed. "'America," the noble pro­ duction most often sung as such, is set to a foreign air, and none of the * others sometimes used are native born, in all respects. Sometime, somehow, such a hymn will be born for our own country. Its source may be obscure and unexpect­ ed. Who knows that the time haB not now come for us? With this thought I have written a hymn, intended as a national lyric, and now send it with this explanatory note to a number of the musical publications of the country sufficient to bring it to the notice of all the composers of the United StateB, with permission to write the music therefor and publish as they please, trusting to each one's honor to divide royalties with me. Perhaps immortality sleeps in; the heart of some American composer wait­ ing for this hymn. 1 will be happy to correspond with any composer interest­ ed. /My address is Richmond, McHenry County, Illinois. - ' . , S; FILLMORE BENNETT.
