The Republican voters of the Town of McHenry are requested to meet in Town Caucus, at the City Hall, in the village of McHenry, on Saturday, April 23d, 1898, at two o'clock, p. M , for the purpose of choosing seventeen delegates to repre­ sent said town in the County Convention, to be held at Woodstock on Monday, April 25th, 1898, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting, " J.

GEO. A. STEVENS,of Ringwood, has been experimenting considerably with bis corn busker. He has at length \ptruck a self-feeding machine. With this machine there will be no danger of one getting ia hand caught. Mr. Stevens contemplates securing a patent on his invention. RECEPTION. A Reception; in honor of A.O. Eldredge ,nd wife, whose marriage we noticed last week , took place at the residence of C. T. Eldrrdge and wif>>, in this village, on Monday exeuing last, and was a very pleasant and enjoyable affair. Besides the friends from Algonquin, there were present from this village about seventy of the old friends of the groom, who came to get acquainted with the bride and wish the happy couple bon voyage on the tempestuous sea bf life, hoping that their entire journey may contiuue throughout as bright and prosperous as it begins. The bride is one of Algonquin's most popular young ladies, having been born and brought up in that village, where she is kmwn and loved by all. The groom is the eldest sou of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Eldredge, of this village, and is a young man of sterling worth and whose friends are counted only by the number of his acquaintances, la short he is honored aud respected by all who know him, and the hearty congratulations which he received from his old friends and acquaintances on Monday evening came from the bottom of their hearts. Bounteous refreshments were served during the evening and at an early hour the company^aiter a hearty hand shak­ ing with the bride and groom, departed for their homes, but leaving behind them many tokens of their esteem in the shape of useful and valuable presents. It was an evening long to be remembered with pleasure by all present. THE papers of the large cities are all right if yrni want them, but is is the local paper that advertises your business your churches, your numerous societies, and sympathizes with you in adversity. In short it is the local paper that men­ tions the thousand and one items in which you are interested during the year, and which you do not find in the papers of the cities. k THE Easter Services at St. Patrick's hurch, in this village on Sunday last were of the most interesting character. Rev Father O'NHl was assisted during the day by Rev. Father McCormick, the i.former holding High Mass'at Wauconda and Fox Lake and the latter at Mc- ry and Richmond. New Advertisements This Week. N.

The singing by the children composing the regular choir, was exceptionably fine, and the remarks by Father Kirsch were eloquent. Tbe •entire services of the day were very beautiful and appropriate WE learn that twenty-six little girls ade Mrs. E. Hubbard an afternoon visit on Friday last, it being her birth­ day, each presenting her with a hand­ some bouquet of flowers. Music, games ^and retreshments was the order of the afternoon, which was very pleasantly spent by all present and highly enjoyed by Mrs. H. A. B.

THE Easter Party, at Stoffel's Hall, on onday evening, under the auspices of the Modern Woodmen, was attended by one hundred and thirty-one couples, and like all parties gotten up by this or­ ganization, was up to date in every par­ ticular. The music by Noonan's Orches tra was No. 1, the supper could not be ber.t, and everything passed off in the most quiet ard orderly manner, and when the party broke up each was unan­ imous in declaring the Woodmen a grand success in getting up entertainments of this kind. ANY intelligent, industrious person looking for employment would do well to correspond with the Parliament Pub­ lishing Company, about the Perspecto- scope, a description of which will be found in this issue of the paper. The instru­ ment was invented by a member of the company and they have undertaken to put it on the market. The well known good reputation of the firm is sufficient guarantee that there is no humbug about it. At any rate, it would cost only a postage stamp to find out all about it. Children's Jackets, all sizes and styles, at S. Stoffel's. AWYER J. F. CASEY, of Woodstock, ras just won one of the greatest cases ver tried in McHenry county; John J. Flusky vs. James Clancy and John Flusky, Sr., involving many thousands of dollars. We learn that Mr. Casey made one of the finest speeches ever de­ livered in the Court House, on the hear- in? before Judge Fuller last week. John B. Lyon, of Harvard, who represented the defendants, also is said to have made a very able and eloquent speech. HE Easter exercises, at the Univer- lihurch, on Sunday evening, drew out a 'ull house, and was of the most interest- ng character. The programme was well rendered by all. which showed that a ;napt?r hand had been engaged in ^:ho training of the young folks, and had brought them up to as near perfection as possible. Where all done so well it vould be hard to particularize. Suffice no say it was an entertainment of which t-ihe Sunday School may well fell proud. WITHOUT question the best Wire Fence now on the market., is the Consoli­ dated Field Fencing, manufactured by r.he Consolidated Steel and Wire Com­ pany, of Chicago, for which E.

THE Belvidere Standard says: "The Belvidere Telephone Company has made arrangements to connect with the Mc Hanry county exchange, connecting Marengo, Garden Prairie, Woodstock ind other neighboring towns. They will build a line to Garden Prairie, and there meet the other company." This will give McHenry direct communication with .nany important points in that section ^hich will be of untold banfit. BY the Elgin papers we learn of the leathof Miss Mae Jennings, one of Elgins moft promising daughters, ;who died from brain trouble following the grip, Tuesday morning, April 5, at the home of her parents, Geo. W. and Mrs. Etta foslyn Jennings, on Highland avenue. "She was only 19 years old and was a uuiversial favorite. She left the high school to accept « position in the watch factory and later in the publishing house. She attended the, academy night school and afterwards the day school, and graduated with honors and wis given the position of teacher in the business department of that institution, having special charge of the class in steno­ graphy. Death is never more sad than when, as in this case, it takes from the family circle and the hosts of friends one so young, so fair and so gifted as was Mae Jennings. Her parents and one sister, Miss Leah, survive her." Miss Jennings was a cousin of Mrs. W. A. Cristy, of this village. ONE of our exchanges describes the man who could not afford to take his home paper as follows: By getting hold of a foreign advertising sheet he spent $1 by writing to find out how to keep sob^r, the answer being to take a pledge. He also sent 50 2-cent stamps to find out how to rai*e beets, and received a postal card replying: "Take hold of the tops and pull." It was the same fellow that sent 50 cents to a fellow in the east for twelve household articles and received a paper of needles. He. is a near relative of the man who sent $1 to find out how to make money aud received the reply: ' Get a job in a mint." He is also related to tho man who sent $6 to find out how to wrii-n without pen o|r ink, and the answer wa^: "Try a lead pencil." H« is e twin brother to the man who sent $2 to fir»d out how to live without work and rrcr'iv-'d the reply printed in one black line on a postal card: "Fish for suckers like we do." - Take Notice.
