They are of the Merino breed, and their wool is not only fine but valuable and abundant, some sheep shearing as high as twenty-two pounds. Mr. Saylor sold thirteen young bucks to a party in Lake County last week, for which he received a good round price. It certainly pays to keep the best and Mr. Saylor surely has them in this line. - . % WM. STOFFEL is receiving orders by every mail for his patent for protection of_ pneumatic tires of bicycles.

The Plumbing is of the most modern style and Mr. Bonslett is doing the work in a highly satisfactory manner. AN exchange says: "The way to make a town prosperous is to have vim, grit, push, snap, energy, schools, morality, harmony, cordiality advertising. If a question of right or wrong arises don't sit on the fence. Be a man and declare openly where you stand. Help to im­ prove the town. Patronize its business, help all pubiic ^enterprises, fire loafers, croakers and dead beats. Let the object be welcome, growth and promotion of your town and its people. Speak well of your spirited men and be one yourself. Be honest with your fellow men." A Horrible Accident at Crystal Lake> A most horrible accident occured Wednesday morning, of last week, be­ tween 9 and 9:30, about two miles and a half from Crystal Lake on the farm of C. L. Teekler. Miss Carrie Kroeger, of Bar- rington, aged 17, who has been for the past few years working for Mr. and Mrs. Teekler, went into the barn and asked Mr. Walters, the hired man, to put the windmill in gear for grinding, and as the mill failed to start up immediately, it is supposed that she went to the opening in. the side of the barn, through which the shaft passes, to look out, when the mill started up, catching the fascinator and hair of the unfortunate girl, pulling off her scalp to the eyes, and entangling her clothing, and when the head became ex­ tricated, dashed it against a timber and crushed the skull above the left ear With this obstruction the mill stopped At about 9:30 Mr. Teekler went into the barn and discovered the accident. Help was summoned and the body extricated The coroner was called and the verdict was accidental death, blaming no one Both the parents and Mr. Teekler's family are almost prostrated with grief. T^ grief stricken families have the sym­ pathy t'f the entire neighborhood Woodstock Sentinel. Grand May Party. Yourself and ladies are cordially in­ vited to attend a grand dance given under the auspices of the McHenry Danc­ ing Club, at McHenry House Hall, Mc­ Henry Ills., on Wednesday evening May 11th., 1898.

Horses cared for free of charge. Supper at .1. J. Buch's 50 cents per couple. PER ORDRK COMMITTEE. AN exchange says that the best curfew ordinance is the thermometer below zero. That may do for weaklings but for a good strong, healthy boy the zero mark would keep a boy inside just as much as a fence of ordinary height would keep a young deer. The best curfew is a home so bright and cheerful that its resouroes and ability to interest and hold, surpass any other place on earth. The most pitiable object we k/iow of, is the boy or man, who from choice lingers late at night elsewhere, and longer by the way­ side when he can't go elsewhere. THE Ladies of St. Mary's German Catholic Church of this village, willvgive a May party at Stoffel's Hall, West Mc­ Henry, on the evening of May 25th, the proceeds to be used for purchasing one or more decorated windows for the new church. First class music will be furnished and nothing left undone by the management to make it one of the pleas- antest parties of the season. Suppjr will be served in the basement of the Hall, under the supervision of the ladiep, which is a sure guarantee that it will be right in every particular. Remember the date and make your arrangements to attend. OVER at Fairmount, iu Yermillion county the village board got gay and passed an ordinance requiring the Wabash Railroad company to run its fast-mail trains at a speed not exceeding seven miles per hour through the corpo­ ration limits. When the date arrived for tlieHenforcement of the ordinance the railroad company landed a force of severity-five men there, tore down the de­ pot, fenced in the right of way and will stop no trains there now, either to re­ ceive passengers or • freight. Here is a warning to other towns that may desire to run the railroads instead of permit­ ting the owners to do so. AN exchange tells of a certain man who was very sad because his wife had gone on a visit, which he could by no pathetic appeals make shorter. So as he lay awake one night in his distress he devised a fertile plan. Ho sent her a copy of each of the papers with one item clipped out. When she wrote to find the nature of the item he had clip ped, he would not tell her. The same curiosity that plunged this suffering world into ruin and misery, brought her home in less than a week to find out what he had been doing that he was so careful to keep from her. The public will be intereseed in knowing his next scheme when she again goes away from home, List of Patents. Grauted to Illinois Inventors this week. Reported by C. A. Snow & Co.

A subscriber at the above place in re­ newing his subscription to the PLAIN- DEALER, adds the following: " ft7e have too cold and dry weather here for the corn crop at present, but there is a very promising crop of small grain. Quite a few farmers are planting corn. Corn is 28 cents per bushel, oats 26 cents, and potatoes 50 cents That is three times what potatoes and grain was worth in Democratic times. Whether war, McKinley or demand makes the triple prices, we down know. Some don't know what makes the demand, neither do i but I guess its McKinley, because he gives wQrk to the laborers so that they can buy the products. When the laborer is able to buy the production of the land that makes a demand I guess, don't you? The Frenchmen loves our noted wines. The German loves our oeer; Tho Irishman likoB our whisky atriight. Because it gives him cheer. The Englishman likes our alf and atf, Because it brings on dizzynesa, B u t a Democrat has no choioe at all, He downs the whole business. M. H. D. An Elesrant Train We are in receipt of a neat little bro­ chure issued by the C. & N.- W. R'y Co , descriptive of their elegant new train, the "N or tu western Limited," running be­ tween Chicago, St. Paul and Duluth. It is a compartment car with all the luxu­ ries of a first-claps hotel. The train is lighted throughout with electricity, the apparatus by which it is generated and supplied being an imorovement upon all previous methods. The train is a "hummer" and is run with all the at- tentionto detail that distinguishes the Northwestern service and makes it the finest in the land. The Surest Way to Make Money Is to buy land in the natural or unculti­ vated state/ improve it and get the be­ nefit of the increase in price. That chance is offered by C. 3. Graves, Janes- ville, Wis., (see advertisement in this paper) of good farming land in a good country at only $10 per acre. Write him for particulars. Dunn vs. DeKay.

The experience of the late war showed t!hat many men who were killed, were subsfquently buried by other or­ ganizations and that the means of iden­ tification were oftentimes lacking. The plan which it is said will be adopted is the issue of an aluminum tag to each man which will be suspended abont the heck under the clothing. The tag will bear the nu meral of which each same oa the rolls will be assigned, and will also bear the company and regiment to%hich the wearer belongs. This will make identification a simple matter--Exchange. "I "Was Weak Nervous aiflEtaiDowa.,, I want to testify to the good Brown's Cure has done me.
