FREUND is having the front of his-place of business, in the Pekovsky Block, Painted "Red White and Blue." It will present a very handsome appearance. "You never hear of a woman wanting to be President of the United States but they all want to be speaker of the house." So says that naughty^manof the DeKalb Review. HANLY'S Steamboat Line, between Mc­ Henry and Fox Lake, made a trial trip to Fox'Lake on Saturday last and every­ thing was found in jrunning order.

' \ -- . / BESLEY'B SODA FOUNTAIN IS now LP running order, and the thirsty can there get a cool and refreshing drink, flavored to suit the taste. This is the only Soda Fountain in town and it makes Besley'^ store a popular resort on warm pleasant evenings. IT is said that the Chicago & North­ western railroad officials are making ar rangements to plant the stars and stripes at every depot along the line. This wouh1 indeed be an act. worthy of emulation by all other roads. The- North-Western is not only the best railroad in the country . as regards service, equipment, roadbed, etc.. but it is the most liberal and patriotic as well. AN exchange has started something .entirely new and original in the "missing word" contest business. It is this: A good church deacon accidentally sat down on the pointed end of a carpet tack. He at. once sprang up and said only two ft ords. The last word was "it." Any person guessing the first word and sending a dollar in cash will be entitled tg. the paper one year. to-1 / T THE team attached to the Pennsyl­ vania Oil wagon, took it into their heads to peddle oil in their own way on ,Mon­ day morning. While the driver, Ben Smith, was temporarily off the wagon, in front of Barbians Block, they started out for a lively run and made it lively on the street for a few minutes. There were some narrow escape* from a collision, but they went through safef and brought up at the Wheeler Farm, a half mile South of this village, witho.it damage to either harness or wagon. THE Willing Workers will meet on Thursday afternoon of this week with Mrs. John I. Story, at. her cottage, on Pearl street. \ Let every member be present. MRS. J. B. PERRY, Pres. MRS. J.

MILLER has just received from one of his marble dealers in Boston a picture of the Maine, that is certainly the finest picture of its kind we ever saw. It represents the Maine at the instant she was blown up, and held up to the light shows the different colors as perfect as it could be if one had stood upon the shore and actually seen it. It certainly is a wonderful picture. TEE annual picnic Of the Modern Woodmen of America will be held this year at Rock ford -on .Tune 2nd, and promises to be the largest gathering ever held by that organization. Ex- Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin, Lieut. Gov. Northcott, of this State, and other eminent speaker* will be present. It. is said that every road leads to Rockford on that day. , I JAMES A.

He graduated from the North-Western University College of law was admitted to the bar in June last. He left a desir­ able situation in the law office of .Tesse A. and Henry R. Baldwin to enlist as a private. THE entertainment, uii'ier the auspices f the Young People's Christian Union, hich was postponed from Saturday jevening last, will be held at Woodman Hall, Ringwood, on Saturday evening of tilts week The "Old Maids Made Over," is an entertainment which none of our readers in Ringwood and surround­ ing country should fail to see. Remem­ ber the time and place, Woodman Hall, Ringwood, on Saturday evening of this week, May 21st. WHILE in Miller's Marble Works recently we noticed two very fine Monments be­ ing finished, one for the late Mrs. John R. Brents, which is of Gouverneur Marble and will be placed in Woodland Ceme­ tery, and the other for the late A W. Mortenson, and will be placed in Prairie View Cemetery. The latter is of import­ ed S^6tuh Granite. They are uuiii of very'fine design, and like all work that, comes from thip shop is a credit to Mr. Miller's workmanship. Bfc. WILLIAM A COLLEDGE, of Aurora, »s been engaged to give the Graduating Address at the CommencemeJxtJExercises to be held in this city June 8th. Dr. Colledge was at one time associated with Henry M. Stanley in his African explor­ ations. He is a man of vast experience and has a wide reputation as a lecturer. He will lecture before the State Uni­ versity, of Kansas, only a few days be­ fore his engagement here. Let everybody turn out to hear him. WHEN railroad companies have no more smashups or wrecks, when people never take poison by mistake, when there are no more "dHn't know it was loaded" victims, when business men and others always buy . j-ist right, when everybody does just what they intend and profess to do--' and not until then, newspapers wil I»e run without oc­ casionally publishing nn item that proves incorrect, or giv unintentional offense. - THE Marengo Republican, the Cleanest and best republican paper in McHenry County, has just commenced Volume 31, »^nd is just as bright and newsy as a two- year-old. Brother Babcock is a born newspaper man, a straightforward re­ publican and one who despises political rings and cliques of all kinds, and there­ fore is receiving a liberal support from the best people of that "part of the county. Here's hoping that he may continue to conduct the Republican until it celebrates its sixty-second birthday. THE pupils in-Mrs. Cobb's room, at the public school, perpetrated a very pleasant surprise on her on Wednesday morning last. When she arrived to open school she found the room handsomely decorated with choice flowers and the ap­ pearance wasindeed beautiful. Mrs.Cobb has taught in the school here for the past eight or ten years, and has always been very popular with both the pupils and patrons of tae school. She is an unex­ ceptionable fine teacher, and the board of education do themsel ves honor in re­ taining her from year to year. IN the case of the McCormick Har­ vesting Machine company vs. Joseph Heimer, which has been in the court for four years, the Jury brought in a verdict of no cause of action. The trouble arose >ver a quantity of twine which the McCormick company^alleged they sold ^o the defendant, taking his note, for the same. The defendant < claims to have riot used the twine and later returned it to the plaintiff, but failed to take up his note. Attorney Barnes appeared for McCormick'a and Attorney Lumley for defendant. AN exchange pnts it in this way : A good local newspaper beats the world as an advertising medium. A hand bill attracts attention only by accident The newspaper carries your message to a waiting audience. The fence rail adver­ tisement is a corpse that can only be looked upon by a few neighbors who have to go near it. The newspaper ad­ vertisement goes into the home, as an excbange says, takes a seat in the family and talks right to the hundreds of people who pay for tbat kind of an entertain­ ment. They lovie the family newspaper and read it with confidence. Nothing •l^nals a good, live newspaper when it comes to reaching the people.

OWEN, DIED.--At. her late residence, in this village, on Thursday afternoon, May ,12th, 1898, Mrs. O. N. Owen, in the 41st year of her age. Again it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the sudden and .unexpected death of a noble woman, and one who was loved, honored and respected by the entire community. While it was known she was sick, it was supposed she was convalescing, and before the danger was known by more them a few of; the immediate attendants, the beautiful spirit was taking its flight to the next sphere. She had just, at her request, been turned on her side by her faithful nurse and said, »"Now I'll take a good rest," when she began to sink and soon was beyond the! power of restoratives. Miss Jennie E. Babbett was born in Naperville, this State, July 4th, 1857. From Nsperville she removed with her parents to our neighboring town of Al­ gonquin, and from there to Elgin, mak­ ing that her,home,for a considerable number of years, until her marriage with Mr. O. N. Owen of McHenry, on May 20, 1885, from which time she has been a resident among us. Mrs. Owen was a lady of unusual at­ tainments, balance of judgment, Chris tian heart, and beauty and force of character. She wae T>ne of the few who put the estimate of life above the mere frivolous pleasures of society, and gave herself up to the active sense of duty to mankind. She knew much about good books, which %he read intelligently and judggd them at their worth and fitness. She kept a close censorship upon the literature that should go to the young and to the community generally. She was deeply interested in philan­ thropic works of every character but judged that the basis of all true philan­ thropy was in Bible Christianity, and gave the church the preference in all her active work. She was born religious; and worked in Sunday School and church from a child. The church of her choice and membership, the Universalist, was small in McBenry when she came, and in place of abandoning it on that account she remarked, "we must work all the harder." And much of the now reason­ able success and commanding ii.fluence of that church in McHenry is due to her untiring devotion and skillful 'energy, especially with the young. In marshal­ ing and drilling them for public occa­ sions, like Children's Day, Christmas and Easter occasions 6he had few rivals any­ where. And while the church has been and still is fortunate in possessing other rare workers of this sort, she will be much missed from the list. Her husband was for man^ years the very efficient snnprintflndfint. of the Sunday School, and for the last few years she was, besides teacher, assistant superintendent. And during occasional deliriums in her last sickness she would say, "I must (jet to my class," and words equivalent. She leaves two children, Ethel May, born April 15th, 188G, and Jennie £jUlri Adelaide, born May 6th, 1898. These with her husband, mother, father and sister (Mrs. Chapman of Chicago), sur­ vive her and have the profound sym­ pathy of the entire community and ac quaintanceship. The funeral was held «at the residence on SSunday the 15th, the pastor, Rev. J.v Straub, assisted by the pastor of the M. E. Church, the Rev. Mr. Clark, officiating, after which the remains, literally imbeded in flowers, were depotited in Woodland Cemetery. The floral offerings were in great abundance and unusually fine and ap­ propriate. Among them we noticed a large and handsome piece, "Gates-a-Jaf" and a beautif ul Floral Star, besides many other handsome and appropriate piecej and boquets of cut flowers in abundance which show the high regard in which she was h«ld by neighbors and friends. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walsh, of the choir sang lovely duets appropriate to the oc­ casion. The funeral was largely attended and as the vast concomse followed her remains to their last resting place the deepest sorrow was felt in every heart, and all felt that a noblewoman had gone. A large number of relatives and friends were present from Chicago, Elgin, Wood­ stock, Algonquin, Richmond, Genoa Junction and other places. Ohanffe In the Livery Business During the past week there lias been quite a ;change in the Livery business in this village. In the first place H. C, Mead, as Agent, sold what is known as the Parker House Barn, (for the past Ave years occupied by E. J. Hanly) to Harry Wightman, who will take posses­ sion of the same about June 1st. A few days after W. M. F. Holtz, of Chicago, and Hen Stilling, of Fist-aqua Bay, bought out the stock and fixtures of the veteran Liveryman,H.E.Wightman, and rented his barn and will hereafter run under the firm name of Holtz & Stilling at Wightman's old stand. Hanly being obliged to move, and having no barn turns around and sells his horses, car­ riages, buggies etc , to the new firm of Holtz & Stilling, who will add the eaine to that bought of Wightman, making one of the largest and best equipped Liveries to be found in the county. They will also run a barn at Stilling'9 Summer Resort, Pistaqua Bay, and then be in shape to take care of guests at both ends of the route. And last we learn that Harry Wightman has bought the horses and carriages of J. Dermont, of the Park Hotel, which he will add to his stable on the west side, thus reducing the Livery business in this village to two stables. Both will give home trade and pleasure seekers better accomodations than ever before. *tw- mc o C t t . a o - r r r ttr yeliov,; up nicely, which •will be about the last of July in our climate, then cut off the sets. * Don't shell them.

A MAN who went, away fi-om home some time ago to attend a convention of church people was struck with the beauty of the lit.tle town in which thjE^gathering was held. He had plenty of time, and while wandering about walked into the village cemetery. It was a beautiful place, and the delegate walked around among the graves. He saw a monument, one of the largest in the cemetery, and read with surprise the inscription on it: "A Lawyer and an Ilonest Man." The delegate scratched his head and looked at the monument and examined the grave closely. Another man in the cemetery approached and asked him: Have you found the grave of an old friend?" "No," said the delegate, "but I was wondering how they came to bury these two fellows in one grave."--Ex. Business locals. PillBbury's Best Flour, at Stoffel's.
