We were none present except relatives, but a pleasant and enjoyable time is reported by all. If Mrs. McOmber was surprised when the company came in and took possession of her residence unexpectedly, she was more surprised when they took their departure, leaving many beautiful and valuable presents, as a token of their regards and kindly remembrance.

About sixty couple were present, the music was flue, and everything passed off in the moBt pleasant scanner. AN exchange says that "the simplest remedy known for nervous headache is a pinch of salt taken on the tongue and al lowed to dissolve slowly, followed in about ten minutes with a drink oi water Salt, in its pure state, has virtues not to be scorned because it is an article within the humblest means." AT the wreck oil tlm Burlington Road, near Piano. 111., four care laden with grain were broken to splinters and the ^ grain scattered. Two cars contained cattle, a number of which\ were killed.

The former Parties given by the Woodmen were so popular that it needs only a simple an­ nouncement to insure a good attendance. Wejwill give more particulars next week. F DWIGHT COMPTON, who pleaded guilty to the murder of his son Jerry, was taken to the penitentiary with fcr other prisoners, in Chicago, a few days ago. Compton, who is 59 years old, and formerly lived at Volo, where he is well known, said he killed the boy in prefer­ ence to allowing his wife to have the '"custody of him. The father attempted to kill himself after the murder, but was unsuccessful. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment. AN exchange makes this trite observa­ tion: "W hen you see a youth that will do any kind of work, no matter how menial it may be, rather than be idle, you can make up your mind that person amounts to something. The young man that would starve before he would take, work beneath what he conceives to be his dignity is not made of the right stuff to cut much of a figure in this world. Don't be afraid of any sort of work so long as it is honorable." Corporation Caucus. The legal voters of the village of Mc­ Henry are requested to meet in village caucus, at the City Hall, in the village of McHenry, on Saturday, April 2, 1898, at 2 o'clock p.

He was an old soldier iiprl H, C, M«ad, Commander of the Poet here, went up there on Monday, but arrived only jn time to assist in laying him out.

The funeral will be held from the M. E. Church to-day, Wednesday, at 1 o'clock p. M. The immediate cause of his death is SHM to have been heart trouble.

SOME people seem to lie in ambush waiting for an editor to say something that they can tie a grievance to. These people are usually those who are always looking for favorable mention in the paper, and who absorb compliments like water is absorbed by a mudhole. And with about the same response. When something appears that is not exactly in their line of thinking, they either ruffle up their bristle aud spit like a mad cat, or button up their dignity and become as chilly as the north end of a south wind. . , The Board of Auditor's Meeting' Notice is hereby given that the Board of Auditors of the Town of McHenry, County of McHenry and State of Illinois, will hold their regular semi-annual meet­ ing at the Town Clerk's office.
