It is, she says, "hypnotic influence of concen­ trated attention, rendering the move­ ments incordinate, so that the rider be­ comes the victim of perverted r< flaxes of purposeless effort and object of an optical delusion." SOME people spend a large part of their lives whining and cursing against fate, when, if they gave half as much time to honest and energetic effort to secure what they want, they would at length become healthy, happy and successful. Their friends and relatives would rejoice to have them around, instead of being wearied and sickened by their everlasting whining and complaining --Ex. THE many friends of W. E. Colby and the Hoffman brothers, wlio are on their way to the Klondike, will be pleased to learn that they arrived at Skagwa March 30th, where they intended to remain tor few days and rest up, and would then proceed to Yandes Pass, where they ex­ pected to arrive April 8th.

The Village E'ectipn, on Tuesday, proved to be quite a spirited affair, and the result as between the contesting Trustees exceedingly close. For Presi­ dent and Village Clerk there was no con­ test. But for the three Trustees there were five candidates, namely: John H. Miller, John Heimer, B. Nordquest, Peter J. Freund and Fred Block, who polled the following vote-: Peter J. Freund 129 John H. Miller 126 ^ttbn Heimer .....121 B. Nordquest..... 118 Fred Block ,v 80 Thus it will be seen that with the first four named there was but eleven votes difference between the highest and lowest and resulted in the election of the three members of the old Board. The follow­ ing was the entire ticket elected: President-- W. A. Cristy. Trustees--Peter J. Freund, John H. Miller, John Heimer. Village Clerk--John Stoffnl. AV Chairman of the Board, At a meeting "of the Board of Supervis­ ors, held at Woodstock on Monday last. W. A. Cristy, Suporvisor from this town," was unanimously elected Chairman of the Boar;} for the coming year. This is an honor worthily bestowed. Mr. Cristy is now serving his second term as Super­ visor, and we do not exaggerate when we say McHenry never had a more pains­ taking, economical representative on the Board. The interests of our town are always carefully looked after and by his painstaking manner he has gained an influence on the Board second to none, as is evidenced by the unanimity with which he was chosen to the important position of chairman. McHenry has just cause to feel proud of her representative on the County Board. NEW STORE IN WEST McHENRY. M. J. Walsh, who for the past seven years has been in the employ of Simon Stoffel, General Merchant, on the West Side, has decided to go into business for himself, and has leased the Bonslett store, which he will open on or about May 10th., with a full stock of General Merchandise, consisting of Dry Goods.

He has en­ gaged as head clerk Wm. McLaughlin, who has been with John Evanson & Co. for Several years, who will be a valuable help in starting in this new business Mr. Walsh's many friends will wish him unbonnded success in his new departure. The Garrick Theatre Company. The Garrick Theatre Company, who commenced a week's engagement at Stof­ fel's Hall, on Monday evening, have been meeting with grand success, the Hall each evening, notwithstanding the un­ favorable weather, being well filled with a delighted and enthusiastic audience. On Monday evening thev produced the beautiful Drama, '"Ouly a Woman's Heart on Tuesday evening "Mabel Heath, or a Father's Curse," and this Wednesday evening will give Washing­ ton Irviug's greatcreatinn, made famous by Jo-»r>ph Jefferson, entitled "Rip Van Winkle, or the Sleep of 20 years." This Company are all artists in their line, and where all do so well it would be folly to attempt to particularize. We can only hay they are one of the finest troops that ever visited this place, and are re­ ceiving a liberal patronage from all lovers of the Play. Be sure and go and hear "Rip Van Winkle," to-night. You are sure to be pleased. Other first class Dramas will be brought out during the week, which will be announced by pro­ grammes each day. We take pleasure in recommending them as first class in every particular. THE Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E Church will meet with Mrs. J. R. Clark, on Friday afternoon of this week, at two o'clock. All are most cordially invited. SEC. WE learn that E. A. Golding received the appointment of Postmaster at Wau­ conda, last week. This is a good ap­ pointment. "Ed." is a sound, every day Republican and we congratulate him on Jiis good fortune.

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.

That is to say, an existing regiment can­ not by a regimental vote go solidly into the United States servipe, binding those members who do not feel in a position to go to the front to do so against what­ ever conditions might otherwise restrain them. Every man will, according to tnis theory, have to make his own vol­ unteer enlistment, and this fact will keep out of the service a great many patriotic young men who have not the physical requirements of a soldier. The war de­ partment is inclined to take into con­ sideration the fact that much embarrass­ ment was caused in the movement of volunteer troops in the late war because of the number of brave but frail boys who had the heart but not the strength to keep up with thoir more mature com­ rades. So that tendency as it is now ex­ pressed, in all probability will be closely to scrutinize every man who offers him­ self as a recruit. Tlie contention is that there are plenty of strong and capable m9H in the country who. will be anxious and willing to do some fighting, and that while youthful patriotism is a rea­ son for national congratulation, it must not be allowed to be a cause of embarrassment.

NICHOLS, 36-3m. New Canaan, Conn. I®* One of the most interesting docu­ ments in possession of our government is a coal map of the West Indies, upon which the location of every ton of coal on the Caribbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico is marked with signs to indicate its ownership and the price for which it may be purchased. There is an interest­ ing point of international law involved in the fuel question. As generally ac­ cepted, neutral powers are not allowed to furnish fuel to the ships of belligerents except in distress, and then only of a suf­ ficient quantity to carry them to the nearest port. While our government does not know what Spain has done to anticipate these contingencies, it isbeliev ed that all her coal supply is on her own territory in Cuba and Puerto Rico, where it can be easily seized or blockaded by our ships. In anticipation of hostilities, our government, through the consuls in the West Indies, has purchased a large surplus ot fuel at a number of convenient ports, stored it up upon chartered ves­ sels, run up the United States flag as a sign of ownership, and holds it for an emergency. This could only be done be­ fore a declaration of war, but having been purchased idfodvance, it will be prc» tected in neutral ports. * .A Cook Book Pres.
