JULY 5. 1923 NO. 4' WEEKLYJMANGES AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES r i ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR tHJST PEOPLE According to the school census just completed at Elgin, that city now lays chum to a population of 29,000 people. "Wie 'Illinois watch case factory at Elgin closed down last Saturday for a two weeks' vacation. The plant will resume operations next 'Monday morning. Lake Zurich has already claimed its season's second victim by drowning. The lake in some places appears particularly treacherous, being quite deep and weedy. A Dew home is now being erected for the Hebron Tribune at Hebron. The new quarters will give the newspaper plant more room and a better location than heretofore enjoyed by that excellent publication. Owing to the fact that the leader of the Woodstock high school band was unable to be present, last Wednesday's weekly concert at Woodstock was rendered by the Hebron band instead of the high school organization. Willis Thomson, for four years •principal of the schools at Woodstock, has been promoted to the office of superintendent to succeed R. W. Bardwell, who recently resigned the Woodstock post to accept the superintendence at tha Rook Island school system. The 1924 Illinois automobile license plates will be yellow figures on a black background. A contract for tha making of the first 800,000 plates has already been awarded to C. H. Hanson of Chicago. It looks as if tiie state will issue nearly one million auto licenses next year. Hie Inderrieden canning factory at GrayBlake is now engaged in putting MP its season's pack of peas. The company has 750 acres seeded to pqas< and about 800 acres to corn. According to reports from Grayslake men are plentiful in that vicinity and more surprising than that--they are willing to work at a reasonable wage. William \^eldon, well known band and orchestra leader of - Woodstock, passed away at the hospital in that city on Wednesday of last week following an illness of several weeks. For fifteen years he acted as director of tha' Ringling Bros.' circus band. During the past six years he was employed at the Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock. A bumble bee came very near causing a serious accident on the Elkhorn road near Lake Geneva, Wis., one day last week. Mrs. William Bailey was severely injured when the car in wfiich she and a child and Miss Pearl Maraden were riding went into the ditch. A bumble bee, which had gotten into the car, so frightened the chiljl as to' cause her to grab the am of'the driver of the car, with tha result that same went into the ditch. Over in Lake county they are rejoicing over the fact that they have a larger acreage of alfalfa than we have here in McHenry county. This, too, in spite of the fact that McHenry county has the larger farm acreage. Aeeording to Illinois statistics just made public, the total number of farms in Lake county is 2220, while the total number of acreage in alfalfa is 6692. Here in McHenry county we have 2874 farms, while only 8676 acres are sown to alfalfa. Hatnesville. over in Lake county, is now but a memory. A place, wfckh at one time was one of the most imf>ortant between Waukegan and Woodstock, in fact the half-way house between the two points, and which for fifty years was incorporated as a village, is now but a memory. The postoffice at that point was discontinued, while the name of the place has been changed to that of Highland Lake, where trains come to a stop only by being flagged. Tea, time brings changes. Prompt resource to artificial respiration saved the life of a five year old girl at Round Lake a week ago last Sunday. Hie little girt was bathing in the lake and unbeknown to • her parents had waded out until the water had gone over her head. While no one witnessed her going under, her parents, after missing the little tot, spread the alarm, with the result that the child was found by a w«n swimmer. After being revived thro artificial respiration the parents and child left the place without giving their names. The new Fox Lake State bank at Fox Lake is now in operation. The institution is located in the Schmidt building and is capitalized for $25,000. The officers are: E. H. White, president; G. T. Lester, vice president; A. H. Franzen, cashier; J. G. Wagner, assistant cashier. The members of tha board of directors are: E. H. White, G. T. Lester, Wm. Schmidt, Noel White, A. H. * Franzen, J. G. Wagner, E. H. Franzen, John Schmidt, James Manning. Hie two Fraazens were formerly connected with the Spring Grove bank. a M® • : v ' ; T FISHING LICENSE NOW EFFECTIVE NEW STATE LAW BECAME FBCmVE JULTip . EF» Illinois fish antf ^ame protection law, which became effective on July 1, provides for an annual fishermen's license and henceforth everyone of twenty-one years or over will be obliged to secure a license before he or she is lawfully allowed to fish in any of the waters of the state. While the law is now in effect, the printed license forms will not be delivered until the 15th of the month, but to be on the safe side it behooves all disciples of Izaak Walton to make application for a permit .before venturing out with pole and line. The licenses will be obtaihed and issued by City Clerk Wm. G. Schreiner on and after the date as specified above. The annual fee, which gives one the right to fish, is 50 cents. Deputy Game and Fish Warden John Engeln of this city is in receipt of the new law and its provisions arid instructions to him as well as all other wardens thruout the state are to the effect that he warn violators when he first detects them. However, after one warning the warden is asked to see to it that the guilty party is prosecuted in accordance with the new law. Local as well as visiting fishermen should bear this fact in mind and as a matter of law obedience licenses should be secured just as soon as they are obtainable. CAME HEREIN 1899 MRS. KATHERINE NYE BORN AT FOSTORIA, OHIO, 1875 FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS PLAY TO STAGE TOURNAMENT GOLF COURSE TUESDAY AT A father and daughter golf tournament is to^be staged over the McHenry Golf club course next Tuesday afternoon, July 10. Judging from the interest which is already manifesting itself among those who are planning on entering the event, the tournament should prove one of unusual interest. The pairings will be made between fathers and daughters who are members of the club and in order to qualify for entry each of the participants must make at least two rounds of the course prior to the tournament and hand their cards in so that the handicaps may be figured out. The tournament will start promptly at 1:30 o'clock and it is to be hoped that every father and daughter membo* of the club will qualify for entry and thus assist in making the occasion a noteworthy event. Hie prizes to be awarded are. as follows: To the couple making the, low net score, 1 box of golf balls; to the couple getting the low gross score, % box of golf balls; ladies' low gross score, golf bag; gentlemen's low gross score, driver. It is expected that there will be quite a large crowd of enthusiasts out at the course on this day to watch the tournament. NOW LISTEN TO THIS FISHY STORY [DesPlaines Suburban Times] On Sunday last there was much consternation among the cottages at McHenry when it was noticed that the river gave evidence of overflowing its bank, in fact the disturbance assumed the proportion of a young tidal wave. It appears Wm. Wiske captured a "Bill Fish" four feet in length, weighing 100 pounds, with all the daring of a salt sea fisherman accustomed to hauling in man-eating sharks. After much struggle and exertion on the part of the fisherman the fish was put in the "hoose-gow" for the night and early Sunday morning the prize catch was escorted to the pier by its owner, George Robinson, Sr., Wm. Hulke and family and preparations were made to picture the fish and produce evidence for the folks way back home in Des Plaines, when suddenly the fish was affected with "Saint Vitus' dance" and wiggled from the grip of George Robinson and slid into the river, leaving the excited witnesses sad but wiser, to return home only with the tale of the fish--we haven't learned at this writing whether the camera fell overboard or not. "Fate could not choose a more malicious hour." By the Designing Reporter. TEAM TO TRAVEL TO CARY NEXT SUNDAY Next Sunday the McHenry team will travel to Cary, where they will hook up in the season's second encounter with Nick Hubert and his classy ball club. Cary is still suffering under the sting of defeat as handed them by the McHenry crew two weeks ago and needless to say the Cary club is out for revenge. A good crowd of local fans will no doubt accompany the home players to Cary. PRIZE TO BOY SCOUTS The McHenry Boy Scouts are to be congratulated for winning the Scout prize at the Fourth of July celebration at Woodstock yesterday. The McHenry outfit was not only tho largest, but the best drilled as well. Boys, we congratulate you. HAD BEEN FAITHFUL MEMBER OF THREE SOCIETIES--HIGHLY RESPECTED feY EVERYONE Mrs. N. J. Nye, nee Katherine Hoffbauer, whose sad death was recorded in these columns iast week and which brought a gloom of sorrow over our city, was born on a farm near Fostoria, Ohio, on October 15, 1875. Here she was reared and tfrew to womanhood and on October 10, a*, at St. Peters church in that city she was united in marriage to Dr. N. J Nye. Shortly after her marriage she, with her husband, came to Johnsburg, where the latter practiced his profession for about ten years, after which they came to McHenry to re side and where the deceased had made her home up to the time t)F her death. She was the mother of five children, Harvey, Rosemary, Herman, William and Eugene, who, with .a grief strick en husband, are left to survive. Besides these she also leaves a father, five sisters and two brothers, as fol low: Joseph Hoffbauer, her father; Roman and Fred Hoffbauer, brothers, of Alvado, Ohio; Mrs. John Bugner, Mrs. Frank Bentz and Mrs. Frank Lumberjack of Alvado, Ohio; Mrs. Ferdinand Bentz of New Riegel, Ohio, and Mrs. Ed. Woebfe of Adrian, Ohio. Mrs. Nye was considered one of McHenry's best and most beloved citizens. Her entire life was one of love and devotion to her husband and family, while as a neighbor and friend her kindly disposition and ever pleasing manner will long be cherished in the hearts of the citizens of this en tire community. Altho a resident among us bat a few short years, her high ideals had come to be recognized among all of us, while the beautiful life she had lived will long remain in the sacred memory of those who knew her best. She was a member of the Christian Mothers' society, St. Clara: court, W. C. O. F. of St. Mary's church and also of the Daughters of America. Of the latter two organizations she was a charter member, while the honor of choosing the name of St. Clara court belongs to her. Being a zealous worker in matters pertaining to church and societies, she was never found wanting when there was anything to do and never until her last illness had she ever been called upon to assist in any cause when she did not respond and this most willingly and cheerfully. The passing of a woman of such splendid traits of character always bring profound sorrow, but her untimely death makes the grief of her dear ones all the greater, and therefore the sincere and heartfelt sympathy of our people goes out to the family which has thus been bereft of the tender guidance of a fond wife and mother. • The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church Wednesday morning of last week. Hie members of societies of which the deceased was a member turned out in a body. The church was well filled with relatives and friends who had come to pay their last respects to one whom they had admired and loved. Interment was made in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. RAIN STOPS SLAUGHTER AT WOODSTOCK TAKES WOODSTOCK BRIDE MISS MILDRED DIBLER UNITED 19 EDWARD NICKELS ^ -ttoraitt, which started falling in the sixth inning of the McHenry-AIgonquin game at the Woodstock celebration probably saved the McHenry team from its season's worst trouncing. At the end of the fifth inning the score stood 7 to 1 in favor of the Indians. Algonquin out-classed the locals in every department of the game. A left-hander, giving his name as Conlon, performed for the McHenry team, while a Chicago semi-pro named Tree was at the receiving end. Algonquin collected seven hits off Conlon in five innings. Of these hits, one was a three bagger, five were doubles and one single. Barta did not allow McHenry a single hit during the five innings. In fact, only two runners got on bases at all. McHenry's work in the field was anything but'pleasing to their supporters. FIRST METHODIST CHURCH "The Good News" will be the sermon title for Sunday morning worship at eleven o'clock. The Sunday school will meet at ten for its hour session. The young people will hold their Epworth League meeting at 6:30. The evening topic will be "The World of Jesus' Time."

Nickels, who is employed at the hardware store of H. C. Kamholz on the West Side, has joined the ranks of the benedicts. The following account of the happy event as taken from the columns of last Saturday's Woodstock Sentinel will be read with interest by his many friends here: , "A pretty wedding service took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Dibler, 420 Calhoun street, at ten o'clock on Saturday morning, June 30, when Mis: Mildred Dibler became the bride of Edward Nickels of McHenry. Rev Sunderlin officiated. The couple were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Leon Dodge of Ring-wood. The ceremony was witnessed by the immediate relatives of the bride and groom. "The bride was gowned in white taffeta and georgette. She carried a bouquet of rose buds. Her maid was gowned in changeable taffeta and car' ried sweet peas. "The home was beautifully decorated in pink and white, with flowers and ferns in profusion. A wedding breakfast was served to the wedding party and the twenty-two guests present* after the ceremony. Out of town guests included the groom's parents of McHenry and the, bride's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Butler of Huntley. "The bride is one of Woodstock's loveliest daughters, known and loved by everybody. She was a graduate of the Woodstock high school in the class of 1916 and has until recently been an employe of the State Bank of Woodstock. "The groom was a graduate of the McHenry high school and later took a business course in Elgin. He is now in the hardware business with his uncle in McHenry. . "Mr. and Mrs. Nickels are spending their honeymoon at the Dells, Wisconsin. They will make their home at McHenry." The couple will go to housekeeping in the flat over thfe C. J.

STATE MOTORCYCLE f COP VISITS McHBNRY •• • hi A state motorcycle cop visited McHenry on Tuesday of this week and as a result a number of our auto owners have applied for licenses. One auto owner, whose cars are seen on our streets the year around, informed Officer Jack Walsh yesterday that he had applied for licenses. Appears queer that certain people feel that state laws are not intended for everyone. Several local drivers were also warned to supply themselves with McHenry licenses. The state officer also found that boys under age are driving local cars. Sotne of these were also warned. Read The* Plaindealer for MM. - DR.MOELMANN DEAD END CAME SUDDENLY AT HOME OF HIS DAUGHTER PRACTICED PROFESSION IN CHICAGO FOR PERIOD OF MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS It was with a feeling of deepest grief that his many friends in this community received the sad news last Friday morning of the sudden death of Dr. Ernest O. 'Moelmann, which occurred early that day at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George A. Stilling, at Orchard Beach on Fox river, a short distance north of this city. Coming as it did, the shock to the members of his family was most severe. The doctor retired the prevfous evening) apparently in the very best of helilth. Only two evenings perior to his death he had attended the boat ride and dance' as sponsored by the members of the McHenry Community club and we dare say that there wasn't another person in that big crowd who enjoyed the occasion more fully than did this honorable and beloved gentleman. Dr. Moelmann was born at Fargo, Neb., on Feb. 19, 1864, and at the time of his death was 59 years, 4 months and 10 days of age. When still in his tender years the family came to Chicago, where the deceased has spent practically his entire life. For more than thirty years he practiced his profession, that of dentistry, in Chicago. Twenty-nine years at his profession were spent on the northwest side, altho before his retirement about a year ago he located in the new Marshal Field building down town. He really went into retirement before the death of his wife, which occurred in Chicago on July 15, 1917. However, after her death he decided to again take up active practice, which he then followed until about a year ago. Since the death of his wife he had made his home with his daughter here. The decea^d was united in marriage to Louise Schulz in Chicago on October 19, 1887. To the union were born two children, a boy, passing away at the age of five years, and a daughter, with whom he had made his late home. He also leaves one grandchild, Louise Margaret Stilling, as well as two brothers, Dr. Edwin H. Moelmann and John O. Moelmann, both of Chicago. Altho he has been a resident of this community but a short time, the deceased had made many warm friends among the citizens of McHenry as well as resorters thruout this summer resort district, while hundreds of the best people in Chicago claimed him as their friend. Blessed with a most kindly disposition, he readily won the admiration of people as he met them and.in this manner enjoyed the high esteem of hundreds. The body was taken to the home of his brother, Dr. Eld win H. Moelmann; 2947 Lorgan Blvd., Chicago, last Sat-, urday afternoon, from whence the funeral took place at two o'clock on Monday afternoon of this week. He had been a member of Ben Hur lodge, No. 818, A. F. & A. M., of Chicago the funeral was conducted by his Masonic brothers. Interment was made in the family lot in Forest Home cemetery, Chicago. McHenry friends extend to the bereaved ones their heartfelt sympathy in this, their sorrowing hour. ENTERTAINED ELGIN WATCH FACTORY FOREMEN HERE CANDY DISTRIBUTORS HERE TAKE FIVE YEAR LEASE ON. ilRS. BREFELD BUILDING J. C. Thies of the J. C. Thies & Co., wholesale distributors of candies, confectionery and soda fountain supplies, has taken a five year lease upon the Mrs. Christine Brefeld building on Main street in this city, where his headquarters for this territory will be maintained in the future.' The territory as covered by the Chicago concern includes McHenry and Lake counties in Illinois and Walworth county, Wisconsin. The lease on the building started on July 1 and on Monday morning of this week the trucks as operated in this territory were started out from the McHenry distributing station. The new-comers, according to the terms of the lease, are given the use of the entire building, including the flat on the second floor, which, ever since the erection of the place, has been occupied as a residence by the Brefeld family.

The new arrangement, the officials of the company feel, will enable them to give great Heal better service to their ever increasing patronage. NO DECISION MONDAY JUDGE DELAYS ACTION IN HOY AND BELL CASES C. M. Buel, who owns a summer home on Fox river a short distance north of this city, and who is one of the foremen at the Elgin National watch factory, entertained brother foremen of the big plant at his summer home here last Saturday afternoon.

Shurtleff did not hold court in the McHenry county circuit court on Monday as had been expected and as a result action in the Hoy and Bell cases have been indefinitely postponed. It is expected that Judge Shurtleff will be at Woodstock today-or Friday, at which time the two cases will be moved forward. Briefs have been filed in the Arthur Bell case by the prosecution as well as the defense and the judge's decision is now being awaited with considerable interest by the dairymen all over this section. An injunction against Bell was issued several weeks ago by a master in chancery at Woodstock, restraining him from delivering milk to the Weiland Dairy company at their plant at Spring Grove, because the Marketing company alleged the contract Its had with him had been broken. The injunction was dissolved after V. S. Lumley, Bell's attorney, had attacked it and a second injunction was then applied for. Attorney D. T. Smiley of Harvard, Atty. Lynch of Oak Park and Atty. Beebe of Los Angeles represent the Marketing company. DAILY* VACATION » .
