Mr. Nimsgern's health first became imj>aired about seven year? ago, when he suffered quite a severe attack of pneumonia. This attack left his system in a very much weakened condition and since that time other complicatistiB added to the strain, which gradually wore upon him until the call of his Maker. With Ae hope that a change of climate mijfht return to him at least a portion of his former strength, the deceased, accompanied by his faithful wife, left their home early last winter and spent about three months at Ocala, Fla., returning to his home on Feb. 24. Frank Nimsgern, the second child and oldest son of the late John and Gertrude Nimsgern, was born on the family homestead farm on German prairie on Oct. 27, 1874, Here he was raised and grew to manhood. On Nov. 28, 1899, at St. John's Catholic church at Johnsburg he was united in marriage to Catherine Schaefer, the ceremony having been performed by the late H. M. Mehring. After his marriage he immediately went to housekeeping on the farm of his father, which he rented and continued to work until about ten years ago, when he purchased from William Moore the farm located just opposite that of his father's place. He continued to make this his home up to the time of his death. The deceased was a member of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, the Mystic Workers' society of Spring Grove and the Holy Name society of St. Peter's Catholic church of that village. He was a kind and indulgent husband and father, a good neighbor and industrious. He loved his bpme and those nekrest to him and was eve* content to pass away his idle hours with the members of his family. He was the father of five children, all of whom, together with a sorrowing widow, three brothers, two sisters and a host of friends, are left to mourn his untimely death. The children are: Mary, Rosa, Susan, Joseph and Louis, all of whom reside at home. The brothers are Martin and Mathias of Spring Grove and Robert of Waukegan. One sister, Mrs. Michael Degen, resides at Kenosha, Wis^ and Hie other, Susan, at Elgin. The funeral took place from St. Peter's Catholic church at Spring Grove at ten o'clock on Monday morning of this week, Rev. Hildebrandt, the pastor, performing the last sad rites. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery in that village.' The bereaved family has the sympathy of their many friends thraout the entire community. Card of Thanks We, the undersigned, wish to express our sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends for the many favors shown us during the last illness and after the death of our beloved one.

SeM MUTER HI CMftT PAVILION OPENING MAY 27 First Universale Church The sermon subject next Sunday morning will be "Growing Pains." At the close of the service a business meeting of the church will be held for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year. On Saturday evening previous, at 7:30, a preliminary meeting will be held at the church in order that the business of Sunday morning may be planned and understood. Hie community Sunday school will meet at the Methodist church at 9:45. Many good things have come to the church this late winter and spring, but best of all were the fifteen additions to the church membership last Sunday, nine of whom were men. Not many Sundays remain before the church will be closed for the summer. It is hoped that these will fas tfee best days of the year. John M. Grimes, Ministar. Communicant's Veil Catches Fire The worshippers who attended the special services held for the first communion class at St. Mary's church last Sunday afternoon were thrown into quite a commotion when a veil worn by one of the little girls caught fire from a lighted candle. Using rare presence of mind, the victim of the accident tore the veil from her head almost instantly and thus avoided what might have prov«i a very serious accident. Outside of the loss of the veil and a few singed hairs, no damage resulted.

TBSflHONY WAS TAKEN IN CQt~ CUIT COURT SATURDAY According to New State School Law Validity of School District Must Be Tested In Court Before Building After repeated efforts on the part of the school board to induce someone to start the court action which is to determine the legality of the McHenry community high school district, the board has finally been successful, F. H. Wattles having consented to act aa relator. The matter came up In the McHenry county circuit cwirt at Woodstock last Saturday, where various witnesses were examined and evidence taken. Edward D. ShurtMT waa the presiding judge. Altho a decision has not as yet been handed down, the members of the community board feel that same will be made known within a very short time and they further confidently expect that said decision will be favorable Mad thus allow the board to go ahead with the preliminary work connected with the building of the new school. In view of the delay caused by the new law, which provides that the legality of all new school districts must first l>e tested out in court before bond matters and building action can be disposed of, a number of the scholars as well as patrons have become ju^t a bit anxious about the matter, but if these people will only be a bit patient we are sure that their wishes will be granted very soon. The members of the school board are just as anxious for the work on the new structure to get started as are the students and patrons and it is their sincere hope that when once these various court matters have been adjusted that there will be no further delay. As stated above, a favorable cision must first be had from the court, after this the adjustment of the bonds, thert the purchase of the site and last, but not least the letting of the contract or contracts, as the case may be, for the bnilding of the structure. To obtain the site condemnation proceedings will very likely be instituted, -after which it will be up to the courts to place a fair valuation on the property to be taken over. In the matter of the test case now in court to decide the legality of our district an opinion will very likely be handed down within the next few days. Should this decision be favorable to the district it will still remain the privilege and right of anyone residing in the district to appeal the case and have same brought to a high court, but this action is not very likely to take place The members of the local board are in the hope that real action towards the actual construction of the new building will start soon after the first of the coming month. BUYS ANOTHER SUB-DIVISION Dawea to Be Conducted There May 17, 28, 29 and 30 McHenry's new dance pavilion, now under construction for Messrs.

Mr. Holly informs ns that his company, with the aid of special agents, has already been successful in the sale of twenty-seven lots thus far this spring.
