And With the enlarged form they this week vy ill print the same on a new power press. Brother Babcock prints one of the brightest and newsiest papers in north­ ern Illinois, Republican to the core, and we are glad to note this evidence of his prosperity. Marengo has cause to fetl proud of her local paper. THE following beautiful sentiment we clipped from the Genoa Issue: "The summer days are giving premonitions of autumn's frosts. In the woods a soli tary yellow leal will arrest attention aud tell the tale of universal, decay. The horizon is dimmed in haze, as if nature were preparing behind a curtain the secrets of her gaudy woodland. Night comes quickly, and the sun in laz.v in rising. Soon the summer will be a mem­ ory." HENRY O" the fine young pacing horse, sired by. "George 0"and owned by Ed. C.*, Howard, of Fox Lake, passed through town on Monday, on his way home from a very successful trip around the circuit, bringing with him a record of 2:20%, made in a closely contested race. At Bloomington last week his driver worked him out in 2:17 and says that should occasion require he can make 2:14 with ease. It must be remembered that this is his first season out which makes his performances all the more remarka­ ble. "Henry O." is indeed a worthy son of a noble sire. not learned the name of the new firm. . WE experienced some of the warmest f weather of the season the latter part of last week.

THE Aurora Beacon tells of four young •ten who were smoking cigarettes, who r sat down on a keg of powder. The pow­ der took offence and exploded.

HINKS PUBLISHING CO., 251 (lark St Chica«o, JU, THE village of Marengo was visited by a disastrous fire on Tuesday morning of last week. The buildings burned were the Ryder House, Vasey's News Depot and notion store, C. B. Randall, general stock, E. B. Reed, meat market, and Ott & Garrison, barber shop. The loss was about $20,000, with an insurance of only f7000. Marengo, like some other towns we might mention, is cursed with useless chemical fire engines, that when a fire breaks out prove themselves to be practically useless. The Republican says the burned district will undoubt edly be immediately .rebuilt. A WELL supported newspaper is the best evidence of a wide-awake, progres sive city and community. There is little consistency in a newspaper eternally try ing to convey the impressing that its town is progressive and in the front rank of prosperity, when its advertising col urns belie the statement. The newspaper that bristles with fresh, crisp, readable advertisements; is the best imaginable advertisement oi the growth and busi ness importance of a town and city merchant who hasn't sufficient public spirit about him to patronize his local paper, when by so doing he can increase his own business, is not the man that adds to the growth or business prosper­ ity of a town.

When the fad first came in they wore them straight over their shoulders without the X, but now, having become emboldened by the silence of their male friends, they are wearing the article crossed on the back without elastics, hiredman fashion. It is hardly necessary to say that the effect of a pair of black cotton suspenders crossed upon the back of a white shirt waist is at once producive of alarm. Its loudness bursts upon the ear with deafening noise, resembling the rolling of a barrel of beans down a grocery cellar stairway. Girls, don't.

Our tillage was the scene of a very pleasant social event on Wednesday evening last, it being the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. John I. Story, which took place at the Riverside House. One hun­ dred and fifty-three guests were assem­ bled in their spacious parlors, which in­ cluded, besides those from this village, friends from Chicago, Milwaukee, Lake Geneva, Los Angelos, Cal., Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Evanston, Elgin and Che- noa, and on the table we noticed forty letters and telegrams of regrets from those who were prevented for one cause and another from being present, but who. Bent their regards in the form of handsome and appropriate presents. After the rendering of some appropri­ ate instrumental music, followed by sing­ ing, the Rev. H. Slade read the following beautiful poem: Twenty-five years of named life; Twenty-five years as man and wife; Twenty-five years; the thought is ?Ue With all incredible thing* in life. " And all these years have passed away Since that blese'd September day When this youthful pair were wed; On bright wings those years have sped. O'er life's undu a ting road, Each one bearing half the load, ' They have tr iveled, hand in band! Side by side to night they stand. Love and friendship, joy and grief Mark life'* journey, long or brief* '» Fortune o'er their pathway srriletj Faith and hope ther griefs oeguilea. ' May the years that are to come In their eosy pleasant home Be to them as bright and kind As the years they've left behind. As circumstances prevented as from being personally present, we are unable to give as full an account as we could otherwise have done, and therefore copy in full the following special which ap­ peared in the Chicago Inter Ocean: The most enjoyable social event that has occurred in our villatre for many years was that of the celebration on Wednesday evening, the 21st inst.,of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. John I. Story, of the Riverside House, at their home. Guests were present to the number of 150 from this village, Chicago, Chenoa, Elgin, Evanston, Crystal Lake, and Wood­ stock, 111., Milwaukee and Lake Geneva, Wis., and Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. and Mrs. Story were recipients of many very valuable presents from those present as well as from many friends in Chicago, Chenoa, Waukegan and Wood- snock, 111., Milwaukee and Lake Geneva, Wis.; Hartley, Iowa, Mitchell and Athol, S. D.; San I)iego, Cal.; New Mexico and New York Citv and Watertown, N. Y. The ceremony .was opened by instru­ mental music, followed by singing and the reading of a poem composed for the occasion by the Rev. H. Slade, of the Universalist Church. The guests were seated at a bountiful table, where,during supper, they were entertained by a mandolin orchestra. All then joined in dancing until an early hour in the morning. Mr. and Mrs. Story were married at Woodstock, 111., Sept. 21, 1867, and have been residents of this village the greater part of their married life, during which they have made a host of very warm friends, as was shown last evening in the many valuable presents as well as the very warm congratulations tendered them and the many wishes that the fiftieth miltstone of married life might be passed as this one apparently has done. The presents certainly were the finest we ever had the pleasure of examining each article not only being handsome, valuable and appropriate for the oc­ casion, but useful as well, and seemed to have been selected with the rarest good taste. Few if auy of our citizens enjoy a more extended acquaintance than Mr. and Mrs. Story, and we know that none have warmer or more numerous friends wher- known. That they may live to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary under equally as favorable circumstances is the wish of yours truly. A Word to the Wise. If the young men who are attending our public school, and who, on Tuesday, wilfully broke down a fence, destroyed berry bushes and stole grapes from a garden a short distance from the school building, will call around and settle the matter they will save themselves much humiliation and trouble. This means business and you will do well to take heed. WABNINO.

The occasion was commemorated by the presentation of artistic souvenir books containing etch­ ings of the principal scenes in the piece and the casts in all the Chicago Opera House productions since the days of "Arabian Nights." Since the inception of "A.li Baba" alterations and changes have constantly been going on, and there is hardly a performance at which some­ thing new may not be seen. The piece is now practically complete, all the mem­ bers of the company are permanently fitted into their places, and the whole production is in the condition in which it will be given on the road. Within a few weeks "Ali Baba" and the American Extravaganza Company will leave Chi­ cago for good, and will not again be seen there until the World's Fair. West McHenry, Sept. 28,1892. • Fine Collection. In the Elgin Advocate we find the fol­ lowing: Prof. Harger and Drs. Adams and Tapper, who went to* Algonquin Saturday to inspect the collection of curiosities owned by Dr. W. A. Nason, returned full of admiration for the valu­ able specimens. It is probable in every respect the finest collection in the coun­ try, representing, as it does, twenty years of labor and research in collecting and classifying it. The curiositien in elude almost every variety of land and sea shells, insects, fossils, and a large botanical collection. Many of the sped mens are very rare, having been g ihter- ed from some of the most remote quar­ ters of the globe.- Frobably the whole collection could not be duplicated for $5000. Besides the actual value of the rare specimens, a large part of the worth of the collection is represented in the labor spent in tracing out the classifica­ tion of each specimen. The classifying library alone is worth $600. Dr. Nason is anxious to make some arrangement by which the collection can be sold and removed to Elgin, and thus allow him to continue-to give his time to the further perfection of it,'but there seems to be no immediate prospect of this being done, Twenty-five men wanted.

A beautifully illustrated and charming­ ly bound edition of Longfellow's "Evan­ geline," the most popular long poem ever published by an Apoerican author, and one of th& most famous poems in the language, just published, is a pretty sur­ prise to book-lovers. It is in large type, numerous and excellent illustrations, very fine and heavy paper, gilt edges, remarkably handsome cloth binding, with gilt title and ornaments. No illus- trated edition has ever before been pub­ lished at less cost than fl.50, and that is about what you might "guess" the price of this to be, but it isn't--it sells for only 19 cents, plus 6 cents for post­ age, if by mail. This covere only about the actual cost of manufacture by the 100,000, the publisher's object being, not profit, but to show the book-loving mil lions what he can do. His publications are not sold by dealers, but only direct catalogue, over 100 pages, a literary curiosity in its way, is sent for a 2-cent stamp. Every home in the land ought to have a copy of this Evangeline, so charmingly beautiful, as a poem, as collection of artistic illustrations, and as a product of the book-making art. Ad dress, JOHN B.
