Boyle is the king of horse buyers, and when it comes to the matter ot selection, he is right in front of all competitors. At the auction sale of -horses in Chicago the Srst of the week, he sold a pair ofS chestnut horses for the phenomenal price of $1,675, certainly a princehjr price.

He sold several others from $375 4 Geo. E. Sisley andC. IL Bockus are the new proprietors the Genoa Iue. They are both old newspaper men and will make a go of the Issue if there is any go in it.

We are glad to; welcome them to DeKalb Co. Mr. Bockus and wife are looking up the English trip. They are splendid travelers and we hope they will go. Not a thousand miles away from DeKalb, on a recent Sunday, a farmer in church very eloquently supplicated the Lord to help the needy and poor in the community.

When going home his little son very artfully remarked: "Say, pa, if I had as much wheat and corn in ithe barn as you have, I'd help the poor; myself and not bother tihe Lord about it." If DeKalb haji a good track we could at least have a "boss race." The Boone c4nnty jail has not had a prisoner for over six months. Now go for that cellar and have it in shape ere the hot' weather comes.

ATH OF MRS. iACLAJk.

The death of Mrs. Ann LaCiair, Jwhich occurred Friday morning atj the home of her; daughter. Clinton Rosette, remojves another! bf that noble band bf pioneers whose work contributed so larirelv to make DeKalb County what it is to-day. Mrs. LaCiair was born in England in 1810.

When a young! girl she Came to this country witl herparents, settling in Utica, N. where she resided until aft0rl her marriage, when she camo witl her husband to this county, locat in at East Paw Paw, whore sli continued to reside until failing health made it necussary tor her tjo come to this city to make her home Jwith her daughter. She Was a lady of great intellect ual power, a close student of at fairs and an ardent tnend of edu- cation all its various forms. Her residence at East Paw Paw covered; the life of the seminary ut that place, and her influence for good upon the hundreds of young men and women who came there can scarcely be calculated. I In her; they found a helpful friend and competent adviser, whose wise- counsel and generous aid be forgotten while wi scarcely lif lasts.

Mrs. LaCiair was a idevottt ennsuan ana wnue ner health per-I 1 I-IV 1.1.1 1 mitted was an. earnest worker in the church. Her religion was cm the practical sort which finds ex pression in aoiug good and it may be said of her that to the day 6u her death, sick and suffering as she was during her last years, she never permitted an epportunity tor aiding sutlering humanity to pass unheeded. Durinjg her residence in DeKalb her sterling worth, gentle kindness of mannler and unvarying courtesy attracte4 to her score of warm friends jwho will regard her death as a personal loss, uneral ser vice's will be held at the house tht afternoon at throe o'clock SCHOOL ITEMS.

Prof. Alden, principal of tho schools visited schools oin Thursday. The b6tany class of tho high school are taking time by tho fore lock, getting a good ndy for spring tef ut work. i One moro week, then vacation for a week. Teachers all wellugain and work of the term in fair condition.

Rochelle declines tho school ontcst for tins year. April beginners, it six by next October, should bo vaccinated. 102 pupils have entered school this year. isit the school and swell the visitors list. There have bden 211 visitors soi far this year.

What do you think of having a boy or girl of second or possibly third year; at school, kept at home- half of th day because there is nol room tor him or her all day? That's what will be true in De ivaiD next! month. What are you going to 4o about it? Vaccination has proved a farce in our city for the reason that! there is ino provision made fori those puipils who are too poor tq afford it. The necessity oi being! vaccinated has been put before parents land pupils very forcibly! by the teachers, and nearly thH entire school have obeyed lord erf Now. the teachers are brought face- to face jwith the fact that there a any sixty who have not yet been vaccinated and who can nptf be, unless something can be, done whereby these children- can be provided tor. This matter mdsti bo looked into.

Wild geese have been flying northward and the Spring Poet has been winging his wy to the newspaper offices. Already some have been thinking of ijnak-ing gardens and farmers are preparing for their spring work, The spring trade among the merchants must also take an earty $tart and indeed has already started at the enterprising stores. With; abundant crops the coming season, good times are sure to return to all. Politics are waxing exceedingly hst in South Grove, and all brought about by a proposition to build a Town Hall. Some desire to build it at, Esmond while others are equally anxious to have it located in tlje center ot the tpwnship.

Their caucus last Saturday was a hotly contested one and attended by every voter in the township.

The Baptist pastor is reveling in the sweets of bachelorhood while Mrs. Cloyd is domiciled in the women's department of Moody's Bible Institute, and taking a course of training in the kindergarten department of the Armour -Lnsti" tute.

She has been a teacher the public schools five years, and has had large experience both as a teacher and a superintendent of primary work in Sunday Schools.

The first Monday in May she will open a kindergarten in DeKalb. Thesd are times which try not only men's souls, but body and brain; and the lamentable fact is that too many "try to pull themselves out of trouble with a a tatal error. An eminent authority. Sir Ben a min Richardson, in an address on 'Athletic Life, says: "Abstinence from alcoholic fluid is absolutely necessary. As long as you are in course of training, don't touch the hurtful thing, It will undermine all the qualities on which you depend for success, will injure your precision, your decision your presence ot mind and your endurance." Quite a little excitement is visible; in our village over a case of small pox which developed here list week.

The patient is a little grand chili of Mr; and Mrs. John Thurston. Mrs. Thurston brought the child out from Chicago last Monday evening where it had been ailing for quite a while. On Tuesday the doctor was called and it was first thought thje child was suffering from measles, but later a consultation was held, and the dis-eaise was pronounced the small pox.

A strict quarantine is in force and it is hoped the 'disease will not spread. Later We understand that the child died- and that the mother is ill with; the disease. -Kingston Cor.

Rev. Irl Dicksif Practical experience acquired through a good judgment is invaluable as a factor of success in the management of a farm. This is just where enthusiastic amateurs in so many cases fail. These inexperienced admirers of farm rattle the whiffle-trees around awhile only to find the work has been far more of outlay than income. Experience counts the cost -of every move and calculates the cost.

Many newspapers boldly charge that senators who are delaying the tariff bill are being paid tor their opposition This is no doubt wholly false in the sense of receiving a stated sum of money, but that they are looking to local and selfish interests lr stead of the general good is not doubted, and to all intents and purposes they might as well sell themselves outright at so much per capita.Blodmington Bulletin NOW IS THE TIME To select a place, figure on a route and complete arrangements for your next summer's vacation.
