Herbert Landwer of Barrington, who recently returned from overseas service and received his honorable dis charge at Camp Grant last week, spent the week end as a guest in the heme of Ml*, and Mrs. John F. Claxton. E. R. McGee and J. E. Conway of Woodstock have formed a 'partnership and will open up a first-class men's clothing and furnishing store in this village. The firm has already rented the Heimer building in Centerville, which for many years has been occupied as a buffet and since the first of July as a soft drink parlor. Alteration, which have been planned for the building, will giye the place a modem and city-like appearance and the work of making the contemplated changes will begin soon. Messrs. McGee and Conway are classed among the county seat's very best young men. Mr. McGee has spent the past several years in the clothing and gents' furnishing business, having been employed in one of Woodstock's leading clothing stores for eigkt years or more. His partner, Mr. Conway, now conducts a store at the county seat, which is rapidly coming to be recognized as the county seat's leading clothing house. The McHenry store will be under tlie management and in complete charge of Mr. McGee. Both are young men of splendid habits and exceptional business ability and they assure us that they will give McHenry one of the best stores of the kind to be found in the county. A full line of men's and boys' clothing, furnishings, hats, caps, underwear and shoes will be carried and, according to the manager, it is their hope to give the 'people of this community a complete fcs&ortment in these lines. : ' Among the alteration#" contemplated on the buifding'is the transformation of the front of 'the building so as to give the place what is known as an all-glass front with a center entrance. This will give them display windows such as are now found in all cities and many of the smaller towns. According to an announcement, which appears in this week's issue of The Plaindealer, the new enterprise will be opened on or about October 1. Watch The Plaindealer for t^ieir weekly announcements and advertisements. New Employes A number of new employes from fc1^^ as tte Place toJ the annual in this village began work at the Terra Cotta factory on Monday morning of this week. The trip to and from this village is made via automobile. Amos Wolff( who has been operating an auto bus service between this village and the factory during the past several weeks, placed a new machine in commission on Monday morning of this week. The machine is a Ford equipped with a comfortable bus body and pneumatic tires. Two trips are made each morning and night by this machine, while others are riding to and from work in their own cars. The factory is far behind on its orders and from present indications there will be steady work at the plant for the next year or two at least. Sewerage The board of local improvement, which for some time past has been working on plans for a sewerage system in this village, we are told, will soon have things in shape for a public hearing. Engineers have gone over the ground quite thoroly and their efforts have made it possible for them to submit quite an accurate estimate on the cost of such proposed system. We are told that the estimate has been placed at $89,000. Figuring that there are about 300 property owners in the village it wouldn't take a person long to deduct what the improvement is going to cost him. Should the cost of the improvement be equally divided among the property owners of the village, it would cost eadi' owner approximately $300. Meeting Tonight Cards ha e been mailed out to all subscribers to McHenry's Fourth of July celebration and home-coming to meet at the village hall here at 8:00 o'clock this (Thursday) evening. The purpose of he meeting is to discuss ways and means of erecting some sort of a memorial to do honor to the boys, both living and dead, of McHenry township who served their country during the late war. Those who have not as yet turned in their subscriptions should come prepared to do so tonight. • ' Over $900 Cleared Rev. Edward Berthold, pastor of St. Mary's church, read off the report of the recent picnic given for the benefit of the church at both masses last Sunday morning. The report showed a net balance of a trifle over $900 as a result of the picnic and this, we are told, will be applied to indebtedn&s against the parish. A Young Giant Out MaA Willard, traveling in his own jitney deluxe, proved quite an attraction in McHenry the first of the week. Mr. Willard is seven feet in height and weighs 300 pounds. He put on the Willard-Dempsey pictures at the Empire theatre on Tuesday night AS TAKJSN FROM THE COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES Miscellaneous Aseertnwnt of Iteess In OsedeSwedTiftriB ft&y PeefAe' The total enrollment of Woodstock public schools is 960. Miss Celia Merry of Hebron has accepted a clerical position in the Chi cago College club. With the opening of two new factories, Dundee is facing a serious shortage of houses. A local post of the American Legion has been organized among ex-service men at Crystal Lake. Only two orders for food were re ceived at the Hebron gostofllce during the recent sale of tJ. 8. surplus food stuffs. Auto speeders are again being pulled in at Woodstock. Better be little careful when driving in the city limits of our county seat. While riding from Woodstock to Harvard on the C. <& N. W. one day last week, John Duggan of the latter city was relieved of $35. The village of Grayslake has just paid for her street oil at the rate of 5% cents per gallon. The village will also open two new streets. The pageant, "King Corn and Queen Alfalfa," will be given at Greenwood tomorrow (Friday). More than fifty people will take part therein. "Favorite," a three-year-old Shorthorn bull, owned by Wm. Lehman of Crystal Lake, carried away the blue ribbons in his class at the McHenry county fair. The Curtis Airplane company, with headquarters in New York City, will locate its factory at Waukegan. Ninety skilled workmen will be employed at the start. A petition, signed by the majority of the residents of Greenwood township, asking for a community high school, has been filed with county superintendent of schools. State inspectors, who visited Grayslake {ast week, condemned several carloadB of gravel which had been shipped to that point and intended for use in the new hard road. Crystal Lake has again been sestitute for teachers of' McHenry county. The dates selected for the institute are Oct. 6 to 10, inclusive. The Liberty merchantile house of Chicago, which has recently come into possession of the Borden factory building at Hampshire, is to use the building for the manufacture of cheese. Work on Woodstock's new power plant building has been started, the contract for same having been let to two local contractors. The new building should be ready for occupancy before Dec. 1. The Nunda board of town auditors, at its meeting held last week, allowed W. P. Allen and L. W. Walkup $210 damages for sheep killed by dogs during the month of August. Fourteen sheep were killed. Barbara Thiel, aged fifty years, and who during the past forty-two years has been employed in the Elgin watch factory, passed away at St. Joseph's hospital in that city last Saturday morning. Inability to obtain skilled help has caused the suspension of the Walworth Times at Walworth, Wis., which paper has been conducted by Mrs. Sowles, wife of the former publisher of the paper, who died about three years ago. F. J. Bauman, who during the past year or more has acted in the capacity of superintendent of the Borden milk bottling plant at Crystal Lake, has been transferred to the company's plant at Dundee. H. C. Frick, for sixteen years in charge of the Bauman plant at Barrington, goes to Crystal Lake. Tlie laying of the corner stone for Harvard's new Masonic temple on Labor day was witnessed by fully a thousand members of the fraternity. Between six and seven hundred Knight Templars in uniform and lodge members in white aprons and gloves were in the procession formed immediately after dinner. The Woodstock board of aldermen at its last regular meeting raised the rent of the opera house in that city from $10 to $15 per night during the summer months and $20 per night durthe balance of the year. With such high rental it is rather doubtful if many shows wilt be booked the coming season. The Wauconda-Palatine railroad was again out of commission during the busy Labor day season. The train schedule went out the Friday before Labor day and was not resumed until Sunday. Hundreds of the Chicagoans who came out to spend the three days' outing came to Wauconda and Lake Zurich via Barrington. The county fair, held at Woodstock two weeks ago, proved the biggest and most successful since 1913. The total receipts were about $1,700 more than at any fair held in the last half dozen years. The fair association hopes to clear about $1,500, which, according to reports from Woodstock, will be used in wiping out §§&*{. 4ft iSM indebtedness. * McHenry Young Man Takea Chicago Girl at Bride Miss Margaret Clemens, daughter of Mrs. Catherine Clemens of Chicago, and Mr. William H. Karls, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Karls of this village, were united in marriage at St. Michael's church in Chicago at 10:00 o'clock on Wednesday morning of (his week. Attending the pair were Miss Laura Karls of this village, a sister of the groom, and Miss Heien Heisier of Chicago, and Messrs. Frank Buhr and Roland Alpanalp, also of Chicago. The bride wore a taupe suit, black pin seal hat and satin pumps of taupe, while her attendants wore navy blue suits, black pan velvet hats and black satin oxfords. The bride is a splendid tpye of American womanhood and thru her visits to this village has endeared herseif to many of our young people. The groom, who saw overseas service with the American expeditionary forces over in France, and who received his honorable discharge from army service some months ago, has been employed as a fireman for the C. & N. W. railroad company, by whom he is considered a valued employe. After a short honeymoon the couple will be at home to their friends in Chicago. McHenry friends of the couple extend to them their heartiest congratulations. 13TH ANNUAL MEETING Of Stockholders of West McHenry State Bank Is Held Wednesday The thirteenth annual meeting of the stockholders of the West McHenry State bank took place at the bank building on Wednesday afternoon of this week. After the regular routine of business had been disposed of, matters of importance were taken up for discussion, after which a cafeteria luncheon, arranged for by the president of the institution, Dr. C. H. Fegers, was served. The luncheon was served by the lady stockholders of the institution. The bank building was most stastefully decorated with American flafl^B and flowers and presented an unusually pretty spectacle. The West McHenry State bank has shown a steady growth ever since its establishment, until today it is ranked among the strongest country town banks to be found in the state of Illinois. This splendid success was made possible thru the untiring efforts of the wide-awake and popular cashier, together with the unfaltering co-operation of the stockholders and the public in general. The officers and stockholders have every reason to feel proud of their institution and the record established in these thirteen short years. Heme From Camp Arthur Meyers arrived at his home here on Tuesday evening from Laredo, Texas, where he has been stationed for more than a year. He received his honorable discharge before leaving the southern camp so was not obliged to stop at Camp Grant. Mr. Meyers is happy to be back and informs us that Anton Blake, another McHenry boy who has been in the southern camp for over a year, will also be out of service soon and should be home no later than the last of this or the first of next week. This leaves but a very few more of our boys in service and, according to present plans, all should be out before snow flies. Runaway John F. Freund, our esteemed townsman, was quite badly shaken up last Thursday when a team he was driving took fright near the depot and ran up Main street. The driver did everything in hiB power to bring the animalB to a stop, but they kept right on until the wagon hit a tree near the home of Geo. H. Johnson. Here the horses became detached from the wagon, but were caught a short time later. While Mr. Freund was very fortunate in not being thrown out, the sudden jag of hitting the tree stunned him for awhile, but was able to be taken to his home after being cared for by residents of that neighborhood. Will Dortroy Beer The beer, which was seized from the "runners" a short time ago, and which since then has been stored in the basement of the court house at Woodstock, will be publicly destroyed on the old baseball grounds, near the Woodstock typewriter Vactory, in that city at three o'clock next Saturday afternoon. The passing of the precious." fluid is sure to "t-tJTrt a large crowd. Only Nine Vetea Cast - Only nine votes were cast in the primary held here yesterday for the ttomlnation of delegates to the Illinois Constitutional convention, evidencing that very little interest was taken (n the matter by local voters. Of the nine votes cast, seven voted the Republican ballot, witifet two called for Democratic tickets. BISHOP J. MULDOON TO OFFICIATE Many Visiting Priests WW Attend Elaborate Banquet to Be Served In Church Basement Final arrangements and preparations are now under w$y for the dedicatory ceremonies of the new St. Mary's Catholic church in this village, which are to Jake place at ten o'clock next Tuesday morning, Sept 16. For some time past the pastor, the trustees and the various societies of the church have been planning for this all important event, which is sure to eclipse any church event ever attempted ia the history of the village. • • Rt Rev. P. J. Muldoon, D. D., of Rockford will be present in person and officiate at the impressive ceremonies. He will have the assistance of a large number of clergymen from this as well as the Chicago diocesc and all that is now asked is favorable weather. Solemn high mass will be celebrated at 10:00 o'clock and the spectacle formed during this ceremony is sure to leave a lasting impression upon the big congregation that is looked for to be present. A banquet will be served the bishop and the visiting clergy in the church hall at one o'clock and covers will be laid for at least one hundred. The various ladies' societies of St. Mary's will have charge of this banquet, which will be elaborate in every detail. The ladies will also have charge of the decorations, both for the church and the basement hall, which is to be used to banquet the distinguished visitors. Acceptances of the invitations sent out by the pastor, Rev. Edward Berthold, are already arriving and from the manner in which these are being received we feel quite certain in stating that §t Mary's wUl be none too large to accommodate all next Tuesday. McHENRY*S QUOTA IS $589 In Salvation Army Drive Be Con- '" - ducted Sept. 22-2f Everything is now shaping itself for the Salvation Army home service campaign, which will be conducted during the week of Sept. 22-29. E. H. Waite of Woodstock, who has been named the county chairman for this important drive, has been busy preparing for the drive in this county for several weeks past. Last week he named all of the township chairmen as well as the quota each township is expected to raise. For our own township he has named Atty. A. H. Pouse as the chairman with our quota placed at $589. The great good accomplished by this worthy organisation during the late war should be enough to prompt one to come to its support willingly as well as most generously qnd we predict that our township will exercise little trouble in making its full quota and then some. What the organization did for the boys over in France and in the trenches is being and has been done here at home for many, many years. Since the war we have been brought into closer contact with the work of the Salvation Army and one has only to ask any of the boys who were in the service to be convinced that the cause is a worthy one and entitled to <nr loyal support Mrs. Dolby Coming Mrs. Mary Dolby, newly appointed county advisor, will hold her opening meeting at the school auditorium on Wednesday, Sept 24. This will be an open meeting and every woman interested in the work, whether a member or not, is respectfully invited to be present. Mrs. Dolby will outline her plan for the year's work and a campaign for new memberships into the McHenry County Home Improvement association will also be launched at this time. It is hoped that there will be a' large attendance present to greet the new county agent. Died While Doing Culinary Work Last Saturday Afternoon Another very sad and very much unexpected death occurred in our midst between one and two o'clock last Saturday afternoon, when Mrs. Amke Moore was, taken violently ill and died before medical aid could reach her. The unfortunate woman was apparently in the very best of health up to a few minutes before her death. She was engaged in culinary work at the time she was stricken. Her son, who was preparing his lessons for school, ,twas in the dining room when he heard his mother groan. Dropping his books he ran to her assistance. He found her lying on the kitchen floor, gasping for breath. Exercising the presence of mind very rarely found in a child of such tender years, he picked up a cloth and began bathing his mother's face, with the hope that he would be able to revive her without calling for assistance. He had no more than wet the cloth and placed same upon his mother's brow before he realized that she was dying. Hjj rushed to the neighbor's for help and Dr. D. G. Wells was sumthoned at once, but on the latter's arrival it was found that the poor woman had passed away, efforts to revive her proving futile. The husband, who had left the home only a short time before for his work at the Hunter boat factory, was also sent for and the grief that overcame him when he found his wife dead can be only too easily imagined. The family are newcomers to this village, having resided in McHenry but a short few months. However, since their coming they have proven themselves highly respectable citizens in every sense of. the word and the visitation of death, thus breaking up the family circle and depriving the two children of a mother': love and guidance, is deeply regretted by our entire populace. Obituary Amke C. Kirchhefer was born on Nov. 2, 1871, the youngest daughter of Henry and Amke Kirchhefer, at Freeport 111. Here she was reared and received her training. She was united in marriage to Elva E. Moore" of the same place on July 8, 1903, and here they made their home until 1911. In that year they removed west and after one and one-half years they came back to Carpentersville in this state. Here they made their home until four months ago, when Mr. Moore came to tikis village to engage in service of the Hunter Boat company. To the home have been born two children, Elva and Pearl,. who are now in attendance of our public scho,ol. The funeral took place from the family home in the Nordquist house on the corner of Court and Pearl streets on Tuesday afternoon of this week. The remains were taken to Dundee for interment Foresters Elect OfScers St Mary's court, No. 594, C. O. F., held its annual election of officers at its hall last Sunday evening, at which time the following officers were elected: S. P., Rev. Edw. Berthold; C. R., John Thennes; V. C. R., Louis Oertel; P.

Will Play W< The McHenry baseball team, which has been putting up a high grade of baseball during the past few weeks, will journey to Woodstock next Sunday, where they will meet the county seat team at the fair grounds. McHenry goes to Woodstock with a great deal of con fidence and the boys feel that their chances of winning over Ihe county seaters are about equal. The McHenry team will be followed to Woodstock by a number of local baseball fans and rooters. Important Notice Sealed bids will be received at the post office of McHenry, Illinois, for the mail passenger route from the post office at McHenry to the C. & N. W. station, McHenry, 111.

Perry brought to thif office on Tuesday morning of this week a circular which was printed in 1811.
