The editor missed the chance of his life by not adding the announcement: "For further particulars See small bills." Two weddings at Johnsburgh this week. On Tuesday John Karls and Mary E. Adams were married at the \iohnebu?gh Church. On Thursday Mathias Lay and Mary Adams will bp married at the same place. Rev. Father Mehring will officiate in both instances: A Minnesota paper says:. "The name of the late editor of the Lake Ban ton News, J. H. Manchester, w ho died recent­ ly, still stands at the head of the paper, and this item appears in this week's issue of that paper: "Ye editor and the devil celebrated Christmas last week." Someone haseVidently blundered. ARRANGEMENTS for the entertainment, by the pupils of the First Primary De- parement of our Public School, are pro­ gressing favorably, and promises to be equal to the one held some time ago that was pronounced by all to be the best one of its kind ever given in this village. A full programme will appear in these columns next week. Remember the place and date Stoffel's Hall, Friday evening Feb. 18th. THE children of J. D. C. Gaylord gave their parents a very enjoyable surprise yon Saturday last, it being the 58th. pirtbday of their mother. After par- talihig of a very bountiful dinner, and the presentation of soma very useful presents as a remembrance of the occa­ sion they all returned home, but before their departure the boys visited the wood pile and left the father feeling as though he was not forgotten. It was certainly an enjoyable family gathering. RAISING doge for the Klondike is a new industry. An exchange says that a man at Aehton has purchased a stock of the most serviceable breeds and has given the brutes a thorough education to fit them for packing and sledgintr duties. Tt is likely that he will send a large consign­ ment of the doge to the Alaska market. In this vicinity burying dogs is the proper thing to do, owing to a mad dog scare, which struck this village last week. ; ,y / WEDNESDAY of last week was "ground bog" day. and the familiar version con jnected therewith, in the sense that if this little annual, on emerging from its hole can see its shadow, forecasts six more weeks of winter weather, and he must turn in again to remain that length of time. It looks now as though the weather for the next six weeks might see rhe version tried and found, for once at least, not wanting. THERE was a man who owed another a dollar, and all he had was seventy-five cents. So he went to a pawnbroker and pawned the seventy-five cents for fifty cents and then he met a friend and sold him the pa wn ticket calling for seventy- five cents, for fifty cents. Thus he had two fifty-cent pieces, ?1 in fact, and he went and paid his bill. Was anybody out and how much? Send in your answers. R JOHN HAUPRISCH has leased the store in Heimer's Block, formerly occupied by Mrs. C. B. Murphy, and will in a few days open therein a first class Bakery and Restaurant. A Bakery is something needed in McHenry, and we predict for Mr. Hauprisch a liberal patronage. Everything usually found in a first class Bakery will be kept on hand at all times and no pains will be spared to please all who may favor him with their patronage. Look out for his advertisement next week. \ THE Wauconda Lender says: "Henry Maiman met with a mishap on Sunday last. While in his place of worship in the Catholic Church, a chandelier above him fell and the heavy moulded cement surrounding it as well. A heavy piece of the moulding struck Mr. Maiman on the head injuring him quite severely. FRANK COLEUAN, a former resident of Johnsburgh, died at the County Housej in Hartland, on Tuesday laat. He was about 90 years of age. His remains were brought here on Friday, the funeral services being held from St. Mary's Church on Saturday morning and his remains laid at rest in the German Cemetery. -MAD DOO SCARE, MCHENRY has been laboring under the excitement of a Mad Dog scare the past few days, and the result is that a large number of valuable-dogs, besides many that were of no value, have been led to the slaughter. This together with the order by the tillage board that all dogs found running at large without a muzzle be" shot, has tended to make the canine race on our streets extremely scarce. The dog that caused all this trouble came from Lake county, and after haviog a tussle with nearly every dog in the vjljage went back and was killed near where he was owned. As we said before, a large number of dogs have been killed in this village and on the route ot the brute here, and we trust no owner of a dog, no matter how valuable, will be foolish enough to take any chances in this matter. Let every dog be killed. One human life is worth more than all the dogs in Christendom. Then it should be remembered tha.t there is no limit in this matter. A dog bitten may go mad in three or four weeks, and may not in one, two or three years, but the disease is in his blood, and is sure to come out some day, and no one knows when, or who may he the victim. Therefore we say the only safe way is to kill every dog that is known to have come in contact with this dbg, or where it is even suspect ed that he may have done so. DEATH OP MICHAEL LENZEN. DIED --At his home, near Spring Grove, on Monday morning, February 7th, ^1898, MICHAEL LENZEN, aged 74 years. *"Mr. Lenzen had been sick for saveral months, and while his friends had no hope for his final recovery, none thought the end was so near. When he awoke on Monday morning he remarked to his wife that he had enjoyed the best nights Bleep that he had had for weeks, but while she was fixing his bed, he suddenly fell back and almost immediately expired. He was a man highly respected by all who knew him and his death will be deeply deplored by a host of friends. He leaves besides a wife and three children, one brother, John Lenzen, of Fairfield. Neb., and three sisters, viz: Mrs. Leonard Bonslett, of this village, and Mrs. M. Michels and Mrs. C. Michels, of Kenosha, Wisconsin. The funeral will be held from the Johns­ burgh Church, on Friday of this week. THERE is no vice, upon which the wise and good look with more abhorrence, than scandal. It is the bane of society, the plague of the social circle, and the ruin of every virtue that dignifies human character. The tongue of slanderer no inocence can avert purity restrain, and no helplesness rest, so long as the vile tale is encourag­ ed by the eager appetite and willing ears of inconsiderate listeners. It belongs to manhood to check and frown upon such wicked indulgences, (when the gossips bear the form of men), by the open and prompt expression of; resentment and contempt, and by equally expressive manifestations of disgust, when women thus mars the loveliness of her own nature.--Ex. the the no ar- YI-KI cares corns and warts. 15 cents. THE average baby boy weighs seven pounds and the dear little new girl a trifle over six pounds. When they have attained the full developement of man­ hood they should weigh 20 times as much ae at birth. That will make the average voter balance 140 pounds and his gentle sister 125 pounds. Mr. Baby, if he can be induced to stand upstraight, will measure one foot eight inches, and Miss Baby one foot eix inches in height on her birthday. WE understand that J. H Bradley & Co , of Chicago; have leased the store room in Miller's Block, West McHenry, formerly occupied by Krkenswick's Jewelry store, and will thip week open with a full line of Plumbing goods, Bath Tubs, Closets, etc. They are both practi­ cal men in the ousinpss and will be pre­ pared to do all kinds of plumbing on short notice and in a workmanlike man­ ner. They come h'gbly recommended from the city. They will undoubtedly have something to say for themselves when they get started in business. DID you ever see a bald headed wo­ men? JNo! What of it? There are a great many things we never saw and many things we have seen which we are sorry for. We never saw a women sit on a dry goods box and surround herself with a filthy pool of the extract of tobacco sprayed through her teeth. We never saw one go fishing with a bottle of bait in her pistol pocket, sit on the damp ground, and go home drunk at night. We never saw a women yank off her coat, give her pants a hitch as she spit on her hands and swore she could whip any man in town. Come to think about it there are a good many things we never saw a women do and don't want to either. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY PARTY Yourself and Ladies are cordially in­ vited to attend a Washington's Birthday Party, to be given by St. Patrick's Court, No. 746, C. 0, F , at Stoffel's New Hall, West McHenry, 111..

Tickets, including supper, $1.50, Horses and baggage taken care of at Hanly's barn at 25c a single horse, 40c a double team. ^ She Knew Him. A story is going the rounds to the effect that a married lady had a birthday anniversary a short time ago, upon which her husband presented her with a pretty piano lamp. He was much flat­ tered when she told him she intended to give it his name, until he asked her rea­ sons for so peculiar a proceeding. "Well." said she, "you know dear, it has a great deal of braes about it, it is handsome to look at, it is not remarkably brilliant, requires a good deal of attention, is sometimes unsteady on its legs, liable to explode when half full, flares up occa­ sionally, is always out at bed time and is bound to smoke." IMPORTANT NOTICE! Notice is hereby givon to all owners of Dogs, either in this village or surround­ ing eountrv, that an.v Dogs found running at Jarge within the coporate limits of tt)e'Village of McHenry, with­ out a Muzzle, will be shot, and the Mar­ shals of said village have been instructed to see that this order is strictly enforc­ ed. That a Mad Dog has been in our village is beyond dispute, and a large number of dogs are known to have been bitten by him, and therefore the public safety demands that all dogs be taken care of. No dog that ha« come in contact with said Mad Dog will be safe aga n to run at large. There is ho limit. We trust that all good citizens will help to see that the above order is enforced.

A Subscriber OBITUARY. DIED.--In RTngwood, III., Jan. 27th, 1898, MRS. LOVE LANGDELL SMITH, widow of the late Lemuel H. Smith, aged 80 years. When the young die, and all their bright hopes of future joy and usefulness are cut down in a moment, we realize, even in our grief, that they have passed away in their beauty and innocence, and are spared the burdens of sorrow and care that come with mature years. To them can never com# the silver locks, the furrowed brow and failing strength. Their memory is to us ever a vision of perpetual youth. When the old die, when One is taken from our heart and home who has been our guide and counselor from our earliest remembrance, who hai sheltered and protected our wayward youth, who has grown old in loving ser­ vice for us, what a void is made, in our existence! We know they have gone to enjoy a needed rest after a long and toil­ some journey, but to us is left the loneli­ ness of bereavement. There is no love like a mother's love, so unselfish, unchangeable, and the long­ er that blessing is spared to us,.othe greater the void in our lives when, it is wrenched from our grasp. Love Langdell was born in New Boston, New Hampshire, April 17,1817, aud removed with her parents to north­ ern Vermont when less than two years of age. The family settled in Johnson, Lauioille county, where her youth was was passed. There she received her edu­ cation and her training for the duties of life. Those must have been pleasant years, and her attachment to early asso­ ciations unusually strong. To the last of her long life, her mind seemed to dwell on°the scenes and friends of those early days. It is our pleasure to recall many anecdotes of those times as she related them. March 24th, 1853 she was married to Lemuel Hawley Smith, of the same place. Three years later, tempted by the broader, richer fields of northern Illinois, they moved west and arrived in Ringwood about June 20, 1^56. Their first home was at Smith's Corners, in the house at present occupied by J. I). Smith, but afterward they purchased the large farm of John Rock wood where they lived until April 1864, when they die- posed of their interest in the farm, and moved to Ringwood village to spend their declining years in well earned ease and comfort. But this was sadly broken up, for August 27th, 1868, Lemuel H. ^mith died, and she was left alone to care for the education and training of their children. This became her dearest object itilife, and how well and lovingly she performed her duty, all who knew hp.r can tostif^ for she ttjis cnc cf these "whose children shall rise up and call her blessed." For them she ever had a measure of motherly love and confidence, such aB few ever receive. She was a women of very delicate organization, which, combined with a retiring dispo­ sition kept her., from mingling much in affairs* outside her own home and circle, but whoever met her there always re­ ceived a hearty welcome, and none but the kindo6t words of the absent ever passed her lips. Those who knew her best, loved her best. Few better things can be said of any one. She was of a deeply religious nature."-Her Bible was her constant companion, her knowledge of its contents remarkable. Under the weight of four-score years, her memory of the ordinary affairs of life failed some­ what, but in whatever related to religious truth and the future life, her vision was clear and unclouded. She looked for­ ward to her heavenly home with a faith that never wavered. She was the last survivor of a large' family of brothers and sisters, and the !
