Schmitt atv Johnsburg. Sister Coletta came to Johnsburg on August 14 for a short visit in the homes of her brothers and sisters prior to her departure for Ft. Atkinson, la., where she was to have taught in the parochial school of that city the coming term. She became ill last Thursday and her condition grew rapidly worse until Tuesday of this week, when she-passed away. Peritonitis was the direct cause of her death. The deceased, the daughter of the late John F. and Mary Schmitt, was born at Johnsburg on Jan. 8, 1871, and at the age of sixteen entered St. Joseph's convent at Milwaukee, Wis., where she became a sister a year or so later.

Eight brothers and two sisters are left to survive her, they being Stephen, Jacob, Joseph, Martin F. Schmitt of Johnsburg; Peter Schmitt of Winona, Minn.; Nicholas Schmitt of St. Charles, Minn.; Fred Schmitt of O'Karche, Okla.; Rev. John Schmitt of Aurora; Mrs. Margaret Brown of Oklahoma City, Okla., and Mrs. Barbara Heinz of Aurora.

Two brothers, Fred of Oklahoma and Peter of Winona, Minn., and a sister, Mrs. Brown of Oklahoma, arrived at Johnsburg laBt week, while thru the feister's request she was driven to Aurora one day last week, where she visited her brother and sister, Rev.

Chemistry, French and German have been added to the course. A complete chemistry equipment has been purchased and is being installed.

A number of commercial desks ha*e been ordered and six new Underwood typewriters have been received, which will make this department complete this year to meet the requirements of the University of Illinois.

Mr. Basinger graduated from Bluffton college, Ohio, and, altho his experience is limited to work as assistant in the physical and chemical laboratories while in college, he comes highly recommended and from an educational standpoint is well qualified for his position here. The time has come when every boy and girl should continue his or her education at least thru the high school. If he does not he is sure to regret it in after life. The McHenry community high school is for the boys and girls of the district and it is their privilege to take advantage of the opportunities it offers. The board of education and the faculty are anxious to make this, the opening year, a banner year. They invite your suggestions and criticism. The Elementary School The McHenry public schools will also open Sept. 6. The seating of the building has been rearranged and the various grades will occupy the upstairs part Some new equipment is being added and the rooms are being put in condition for the opening of school.

This grade will be seated in the West half of roon* No. 6. Miss Alice Knox will have charge of the seventh grade, which will occupy room No. 1.

Parents should see that their chil dren are present on the first day of school. Too often this is neglected and the child who is absent at the beginning of the school year is handi capped for the rest of the year. The rule in regard to beginners is that those who are six years old before the first of January will be admitted at the opening of the school year. Those who are six after that date will wait until next year. No beginning classes will be started after the opening week of school. The only change in text books to be made this fall in the elementary school will be the geographies. The fourth and fifth grades-will use Tarr and McMurray's new geographies, book one, and the sixth and seventh grades will use book two of the same series. Arrangements have been made whereby the old books can be turned in in part payment for the new books.

OUR NNU1MI IS 1,146 INCREASE OF 115 IN THE LAST TEN YEARS . McHenry Fares Better Than Some Other Towns In County, Which Have Gone Backward According to the census figures just released from the bureau of census at Washington, D. C., the village of McHenry has increased its population by 115 in the last ten years. The figures will come as quite a surprise to most of our people, who had guessed that our municipality hadn't grown that much. In J910 McHenry had a population of 1,031 and in 1900 the census returns showed 1,013 people residing within our borders. As will be seen by the figures published below, McHenry fared better than a number of towns in the county, which experienced r loss in the last ten years. The complete returns of the county are given below: RE-BUYS MEAT MARKET f| W* Frett Buya Stand He Sold liit January, Peter W.

Not a Picture Show The eternal triangle, the man, the wife and the other man, or the wife, the husband and the other woman, this is the basis for alC stories and naturally is as old as time. To treat this age old basic principal in a new or clever manner "is a consummation devoutly to be wished" and in "The Other Man's Wife," the Lambert Producing company's play, a new treatment of this old theme is "to be found. The play is from thl pen of Victor E. Lambert and abounds in a succession of clever situations. The comedy scenes are numerous and the press has been most flattering in what they have had to say about the play. "The Other Man's Wife" will be seen at the Empire theatre this coming Sunday. v Rotarians Are Coming X large number of Chicago Botarians will motor out from that city next Saturday morning and will be guests of the day of the Chapel Hill Country club at Howell's Villa.
