ALL county clerks, notaries public, and justices of the peace, have received notice from the Pension Department that here­ after they are not, under - any circum­ stances, to make out pension vouchers for pensioners unless said pensioners show their certificates.

In another column can be found an advertisement of the McHenry County Fair, which will be held at Woodstock August 23rd to 26th, inclusive. No County Fair in the State of Illinois has a better reputation for the excellence of its eihibits and the variety of its special attractions. Its efficient Secretary, A. S. Wright, is leaving nothing undone this ye&r to keep it up to its former high standard and those who know his push and energy, know he will succeed.. In the Speed department liberal Purses are of­ fered and some of the best horses in the Northwest are expected to bo there. While the officers are doing all they can to aid the Society, "there are others" who should remember they have a% duty to perform in the premises. Let the farm­ ers see to it that the exhibits are larger than ever before. We have been blessed with the most bountiful crops and every farmer should see to it that some pro­ duct of his farm is on exhibition at the Fair.

DIED.--At her bome, in this village, on Friday ejening, July 8th, 1898, Mrs. fljora M. Eldredge, beloved wifeof Charles T. Eldredge, aged 54 years; 10 months ^anfl 8 dayB. The announcement of the death Mrs. Eldredge, on Friday evening, caused the profoundest grief on all sides and cast a gloom over our entire community So stidden was the Bhock that many re­ fused to" believe it for some time, but, alas, it was too true. She had undoubt­ edly been ailing for a long time, but her nearest friends did not suspect the truth With her never complaining and cheer­ ful disposition, not herself dreaming she was in so precarious a condition, she had hoped for the best, and up to within twoQty-four hours of her death had be^n around superintending her household duties and planning for the future. But the disease which baffles the skill of all physicians had, unbeknown, obtained a hold, and when it once had sfopwn itself her decline was rapid and sure, and while everything that could be was done she quietly and peacefully passed away on Friday evening, surrounded by her fiends and neighbors. LORA M. CARPENTER was born in Goshen, Mass., August 31, 1843., where she spent her childhood days. She was married to Charles T. Eldredge at Pleas­ ant Prairie, Wis., April 12,1869. Moved with her family to McHenry in April, 1874, where she has since resided. Seven children were the fruits of this mrrriage. Archie G., of Algonquin, Harry, of Car- pentersville, ana Fred and Cassie, who live at home. The other three died in early childhood. Besides her husband and children, she leaves three brothers in Dakota, one at Raney, Wis., and a sister at Coral, in this County, to mourn her loss. • „ Mrs. Eldredge was of religious ancestry and training and always participated in religious and charitable works, and many times beyond her strength. No one ever went to her for help in vain. In the sick room the rich and poor alike received her undivided attention, and her kind attentions and self-sacrificing work in this respect will long be1 remembered by many by whose sick bed she has watched with much tender and devoted care. She was a member of the Willing Workers Society of the Universalist Church of thia village, also of the Order of the Eastern Star and of the Relief Corps of McHenry, in all of which she was an active participant. In addition to these her active interest in general charities was unusual. In short, there is no one who will be more gen­ erally missed in this community by all than Mrs. Eldredge. and ber sudden and unexpected death will be deeply mourned by both young and old. Besides the great bereavement the loss is to her family, the general community feels keenly the affliction. A loving wife, a devoted and self-sacrificing mother, and a women who had the good of the entire community in which she lived at heart, has gene from us and the community mourns her loss. The floral offerings at the funeraL weVe numerous and beautiful and were/a true index of the esteem in which ehexvas held by the entire community. Below is a partial list of those who contributed handsome floral designs: McHenry Lodge, F. & A. M., Willing Workers and other friends, Mrs. Thorne, Mrs. S. Stof- fel and Mrs. L. Bonslett, Walsh Bros., O. JN. Owen, McHenry Relief Corps, Mrs. J. B. Perry, Mrs. H. Wattles, The Seven Club, C. H. Granger, Mrs. S. Reynolds, and many other very fine and appropri­ ate pieces and bouquets of cut flowers, tt'e names of donors of which we did not get. The funeral was held from the Univer­ salist Church at 2 o'clock p. M. on Sun­ day, the pastor, Rev. J. Straub, officiat­ ing, and her remains were laid at rest in Woodland Cemetery. The funeral was one of the largest held in this village for years, friends being present from Richmond, Ringwood, Woodstock, Nunda, Crystal Lake, Algon­ quin, Elgin, Chicago, Genoa Junction and Kenosha, Wis., which showed the high esteem in which she was held where- ever known. Card of Thanks. We wish in this public manner, to re­ turn our heartfelt thanks to the neigh­ bors and friends, one and all, for their aid and sympathy tendered us during the sickness and after death of our be­ loved wife and mother. May the Giver of all good be equally as kind to each of you, should you ever be called upon to pass through a like affliction. Again we thank you. C. T. ELDREDGE AND FAMILY. Richmond MemoriaUfco Mrs. C. T. Eldred&e On Friday,July 8th, Lora M. Eldredge, who, for many years has lived among the people of McHenry, loved and re­ spected, closed her life and work. She passed quietly and gently into the life beyond when all things were touched by the glory of the oetting sun. Throughout her life she had been an active and tire" less worker in homo, church and society. Striving to make the best of all life had to offer, cheerful, generous and patriotic, her presence and influence will be greatly missed by the Corps of which she was a beloved member. The McHenry Woman's Relief Corps of Richmond extend their most sincere sym­ pathy to her family in their sorrow. "How strange-it seems with so much gone Of life and love to still live on. Yet love will dream and FaithfwlU trust Siuce he who knows our need ife just That somehow, somewhere we must; Alas for him who never sees' Tlie stars shine through his Cypress trees! Who hopeless lay his dead away Nor looks to see the breaking day Across the mournful martiles play. Who hath not learned in kours of faith The truth to flesh and s®nBe unknown.

The reception was held at the idence of their son, H. W. Allen, and v^as a day to be long<remembered. H. C. Allen was born at Newfrane, Windom County, Vt., April 24 1820. Mrs. Allen is a native of New Hampshire and was born April 10,1820. They were married July 5th 1848, at]Nashua,N.H., coming to Illinois in 1854 and settled in Ringwood. Mr. Allen built a house the same year, a picture of which can be seen on the margin of an old map of McHenry County, which at one tune was afamiliar ornament on the wall. The house itself is nearly opposes the New Creamery, and at present is the property of Mrs. O. A. Tabor, and at the time of its con­ struction was considered a large house. While living in this house Mr. Allen was Station agenffor the Fox River Valley Railroad, and held a commission as Postmaster under Uncle Sam! In com­ pany with S. H. Walker he handled many thousand bushels of wheat. ^Disposing of his business in the village he purchased the farrn.where he now resides, of C. Y. Edwards, which at that time had a small one story house and a straw stable for farm buildings. Mr. and Mrs. Allen have seen the typical western farm change to one with modern improvements and all of their own designing. They have two children, Pulaski K., who was born at Manchester, N.

The way may seem long To our innocent youth. Like a rythm of song. We should prize as a truth, /On this voyage of life They embarked, while the tide No rude tempest or strife, As so gently they glide. The sun shines as brightly, The skies are serene." They flo&f oh so lightly, Like the Prihce and his Qu«en. Eaoh vies with the other Their burdens to lighten, As the allver iined clouds, Dark sKies seem to brighten, They dream not of sorrows, They scarce think of gain, Nor fear for the morrow, Bring sorrow or pain. a Now new branches of love On the family tree. They are gifts from aoove And received thankfully. To gladden their pathway: They are sent to their heepiog Liko a glad lumuiere day, Eriher waking or sleeping. They toil with deft fingers And loves labor is sweet. Like the dew Rem that lingers When nignt and morn meet. Their skies and their sunset, • Tints with crimson and gold. And each bud and leaflet New boautios unfold. Emma Matthews, Florence Brown, Mae Alien, Mabel Stevens* and Frank IngalTs, Ringwood.

On the down path of life Their bark will lot st»y, So Swiftly the blast Will haste them away. So on in its rapid flight. The day is swift passing, 8o soon comes the night, Though the silver looks glisten Like frost on the brow, Yet the heart is still young, And-awaiting them now Is the harvest they've won And contentment and peace " Sits crowning, and none Of the blessings will cease. Glancing back fifty years O'er the dim misty past, Mingling joys, griefs and fears, They have conquered at last. In the twilights bright haze, Still they ait side by side, As when in those fond days, lie called her "my bride". . Friends gather once more And affectionate greet, As they did on the shore When so young and eo sweet. And they bade them Godspeed O'er the life flowing stream, rfooking back o'er the tide. It but seemeth a dream, Let us join with them here And be glad once again< Life is fraughtwlth much joy And no sorrow or pain. May blessings still crown Chem,1] And each daj brighter grow Until they are summoned The last journey to go'. May we nieet on that shore Where the sky's ever bright And rejoice evermore Where no shadows of night. There the llowerg ne'er fade, They are in perfect bloom, And tne debt will he paid, And we dreal not its gloom. Oh the joyful greeting, „ And the rapturous kiss, With old friends the meeting Will be perfect bliss, And the hand clasp of friends.

Bhsh, clerk of Hotel Dorrance, Provi­ dence, R. I. He says: "For several years I have been almost a constant suf­ ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at­ tacks completely prostrating me ana rendering me unfit for any duties at the hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my suit* prise and delight its effects were imme­ diate. Whenever I felt symptoms ©I the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doees of this valu­ able remedy. The result has been satis­ factory and almost complete relief from the atflic ion." For sale by J. A. Story Druggist,
