McHenry, county, which has been in the Rock ford district for a number of years, has Inn shifted to Elgin. The fact that McHenry county has been added to Elgin will be good news to teams in this county, as they have been anxious for a shift, Elgin being only a short distance from a majority of the McHenry county schools usually represented in the conference. Var loos high schools must file eligibility lists at least a week before the tournaments. A school may register any nvmber of players, but will be jter •tilted to use only ten on the tournament squad. "The Whip" at the Mfcipiio Itaes% da* evMin^ Fefc -S. jHV THREE At. St. Gertrude's* Catholic church, Glenwood Ave., Chicago, at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning of last week, occurred the wedding of Miss Elizabeth C. Klein of Chicago and Mr. Fred C. Schoewer of this village, Rev. L. Lyon, pastor of the church, officiating.

Her two sisters carried twakets of pink and yellow, roses. After the ceremony the bridal party, togeither with near relatives* of the bride and groom, were driven to the Edgewater Beach hotel, where they partook of a wedding breakfast. rom here they sojourned to the home of the bride's parents at 1455 Hood avenue, where a reception was tendered the pair. The bride of this happy union is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Klein of Chicago, which city she has always proclaimed as her home. She has visited McHenry frequently during the past two years and it was thru her visits to this village that the courtship of the couple had its beginning. She is possessed with lady-like manners and her pleasant disposition is sure to endear her to many of our people-- The groom is the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Schoewer, highly es pec ted citizens of this village. He was born and grew to manhood in McHenry, where he has always made his home, with the exception of about a year, which he spent in the Service of the U. S. army, during which time he spent some months with the A. E. F. in France. Since his return to the U. and his subsequent honorable,discharge, he has been at home and with his father, who conducts a general blaeksmithing business on Elgin road.

One of the very latest and most modern ice boxes as well as cooling system comprise the equipment. The stock is all fresh and new and makes a most attractive dispiey. R. N. A.

FIRE AT RECfORY St. Mary's Rectory Damaged Blase Wednesday Fire, starting from an unknown cause, did several hundred dollars worth of damage to St. Mary's rectory and household furniture on Wednesday afternoon of this week* The fire had its origin underneath the roof near the_chimney and was first seen by residents residing nearby. Sisters of St. Mary's parochial school, who had been cleaning the house during the day and were in the building when the fire was discovered, were unable to account for the blaze. They did not know of the fire until told by neighbors who were attracted by smoke pouring from the rocf. An alarm was at once sent out and volunteer fire fighters were soon on hand to assist in saving the household effects as well as extinguishing the blaze. The fire had eaten its way thru the roof before the arrival of the first hose cart aftd it surely looked as if the building was doomed. However, the volunteers got busy at once and soon two hose were playiqg streams of water on the burning structure. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting water underneath the roof, where the fire, seemed to be raging in great fury. No sooner had the blaze on one side of the building been extinguished before another part of the roof was causing trouble and this continued fer nearly an hour before the last sign of fire finally faded away. Most of the household effects were saved, altho some was broken and others were more or less damaged by water. The damage to the house will amount to several hundred dollars. We are told that the loss is fully covered by insurance. IS MADE COUNTY CHAIRMAN For Educational sad Finance Campaign of the Y. W. C. A. SKRHAH S.dAffll DEAD RAS8HD AWAY SUDDENLY CHICAGO FRIDAY IN M.

Conducted General Merchandise Store In This Village a Number of Years Ago--Funeral Held Friday Like a thunder bolt from a dear sky came the sad news announcing the death of Sherman S. Chapell at his late home at 921 Winona street, Chicago, at nine o'clock on Friday evening of last week, Jan. 2S, 1920. Influenza developing into pneumonia was the direct cause of his death The deceased was first taken ill on the Tuesday preceding his death and not until a short time before the end did his wife realize that his condition was serious And thus once more death stepped in and took away a useful and active life, one wh> was steadily climbing the ladder of a brilliant business career. The two daughters, who are students at Forest Glen, Maryland, were unable to reach their father's bedside until too late, they arriving in Chicago on Sunday. Sherman S. Chapell was born at Algonquin on June 30, 1874. Here he grew up and passed his boyhood days. Oil'October 7, 1896, he was united in marriage to Miss Alsena Smith, daughter of Henry C. and Alsena Smith of this village. He began his business career in this village, when on January 1, 1896, he formed a partnership with L. H. Owen, and together they purchased the general merchandise business at that time conducted by Perry & Owen in the building now occupied by the McHenry bakery. The .irm was dissolved on March 1, 1901, at which time the subject of this sketch took over his partner's interest, and from that time until 1904 he conducted the business most successfully. In 1904 he sold out to Block & Bethke and thence moved to Chicago, where he has resided ever since. He first started in as an employe of the Kee A Chapell Dairy Co., where his efforts later on assisted greatly in building that company into one of the biggest and strongest of the kind in the middle west. At the time of his death he was vice president of the company. Mr. Chapell was a member of the Exempler lodge, A. F. & A. M., Hamilton club and Rotary club of Chicago and during the past few years has been quite active in that city's club as well as business life. He leaves to mourn a grief stricken wife and two daughters, Harriet and Marion. Also two brothers and two sisters, Arthur A. of Chicago, Charles C. of Oklahoma,' Mrs. B. Getzelman and Mrs. Harry N. Gifford, both of Elgin. The funeral services were held from the late home in Chicago at 1:30 o'clock on Monday afternoon of this week.

The deceased made this village his home until shortly after the dlath of his wife, which occurred here a few years ago, when he went to Crystal Lake to reside with his on, Edward, who also passed away about a year ago. After the death of his son he went to Chicago and there he made his home ap to the time of his death. The deceased was born at what was then known as Wolf River, Wis., and came to McHenry when still a young man. He was united in marriage to Anna Whalen at St. Patrick's church in this village on Feb. 25, 1877. To the union were bom three children, Walter J. Simon of Ltfke Geneva, Wis., being the inly surviving member of the family. During his years of residence in this village the deceased had won the respect and high esteem of all who knew him; He proved himself a kind neighbor and good citizen. His remains were brought to McHenry on Saturday evening, the funeral tafting place from St. Patrick's church at three o'clock Sunday afternoon, Rev. M. J. McEvoy officiating. Besides'his only son he is also survived by four grandchildren, fotu* brothers and three sisters.

You must therefore realize how important it is that you be there and it hardly seems necessary for us to urge you to attend. However, we hope for a large attendance* as this ma/ be the only meeting of the year. Walter J. Walsh, Pres. Chas. L. Page, Sec. Has SifcHenry Grown Since the work of taking the census in McHenry has been taken up there has been more or less speculation among our people as to the population of McHenry. Some seem of the opinion that the new figures will give this village a very material increase over those taken ten years ago. Othere feel that the village has been at a standstill and that none or very little gain has been made. Owing to the fact that the enumerators cannot give out figures or any other information taken up, it will probably be some months before the official figures become known. How> ever The Plaindealer's guess at this time is that the official figures will show little gain over ten years ago, when McHenry had ; 1681.
