R. 4i:; fyatson. the Chicago, Palatine & Wau- ^ Conda railroad is now making an oper- „ Sting profit of over $500 per month. -' sIThis pays taxes and depreciation and 0 the road was free of its old debt,' It would pay its way in spite of the many obstacles that are being encountered. The Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad filed a petition last Thursday with the Illinois commerce commission at Springfield, asking for authority to issue first mortgage bonds * to the amount of $1,692,400. It is ^believed that the money is intended lor expansion work now in progress. 5 |n*e company has put on many new jlusses of late and is also engaged in making extensions of its electric lines. It doesn't always pay to be a"good fellow." Last week Fred Wolf, who conduct* a restaurant at Wauconda, took in a hungry young man who had - apparently come out from the city . Rooking for work. After giving the jfellow a meal and setting him out to do odd jobs around the place, the stranger made his get-away with Mr. Wolf's Willys Knight touring car and , a new suit of clothes belonging -to the restaurant owner. * ' A committee of Barrington citizens carried a petition bearing the names of 500 voters to Springfield last Thursday, where it was presented to Governor Small. The petition asked the .

Sister Cantia, organist at St. Mary's, presided. Sister Cantia, a very talented musician, has had previous pipe organ experience, but owing to the fact that she has not played an organ of this type in about three years it will take time before she again familiarizes herself with every detail connected with such an instrument. In spite of this fact, however, the organist did very well last Sunday and to say the very least, the parishioners were more than pleased with the exceptional music. The instrument was manufactured by Geo. Kilgen A Son of St. Louis and is intended for church purposes only. It has two mauels and twenty-four stops, while an electric motor supplies the power. Raoi# Pepin of Chicago had charge of installation of the instrument, he being the same gentleman who installed the mighty Wurlitzer at the Chicago theatre, Chicago. < The McHenry organ is probably one of the best ever installed in this section and for tone, quality, sm^Qthness and responsiveness there isn't a better organ made, so critics tell us. The instrument is the gift of the late N. A. Huemann, who during life was always an active member of St Mary's congregation. It was one of his last wishes to make this donation and his sister, Rosa, has thus carried it out in every detail. The organ was purchased at a cost of $5,500. It is the plan of the pastor of St. Mary's church to hold a sacred concert at the church some time in Aug ust at which time he hopes to be able to bring to McHenry musicians of popular favor in Chicago. The date of this concert will be announced in these columns in a later issue. WHY NOT ASK COMMUTER'S SERVICE HERE?, HAPPY JUNE BRIDES SIX YOUNG PEOPLE UNITED DUR » INC PAST WEEK It has just been brought to our attention that a commuter's service over the Chicago & Northwestern railway, between this point and Chicago, can be brought about.in time, provided a little honest effort is set forth by the people of McHenry and Chicagoans who have summer homes here. The Chicago & Northwestern railroad, like all other large corporations, is not adverse to more business and we feel certain that if the officials of that company can be shown where such a service will pay them, McHenry can and will be included in the Chicago suburban district, giving patrons of the road here the same privileges now enjoyed by all towns between Crystal Lake and Chicago. Commuter's service means even better train service than is now enjoyed and the placing on sal^ of monthly tickets at a greatly reduced price. At the present time there are a number of our summer residents who are now making daily trips to and from Chicago and it is only reasonable to assume that many more would be riding back and forth if the commuter's service were provided. The McHenry Community club, as well as every business man in McHenry, should get back of this proposition and push it. Commutation service means the building up of a larger McHenry. Talk it up. It's something well worth going after; * ELGIN ROAD CLOSER ON ACCOUNT OF SEWER 15Tgin road, leading into this city from the south where the sewer extension is now being put in, has been closed to automobile travel since Monday morning of this week, this step having been made necessary on account of the heavy rains of the past week. Detour signs have been erected south of this city, directing automobile traffic to take the cross road at Terra Cotta and thence west to the Crystal Lake road. Farmers residing south of town have been allowed to pass thru with wagons only, it being considered unsafe for automobiles to even .attempt to get thru. With favorable weather conditions the sewer extension at that point will be completed by next Tuesday night, after which the thorofare will again be thrown open to travel. Let's hope for clear days so that our south entrance may be open for Fourth of July visitors. WILL ATTEND GOLDEN JUBILEE Mrs. N. J. Jus ten of this city and her sister, Mrs. Christina Marquardt of Chicago, expect to leave the first of next week for Rochester, Minn., where they will attend the Golden Jubilee of their cousin, Sister Cecelia, one of the founders of St. Frances convent of that city. Sister Cecelia entered the Mother Home at Joliet about forty years ago and from was transferred to Rochester, where she has been continuously ever since. The jubilee will take place on Wednesday, July 2. V PRETTY WEDDING AT ST. PATRICK'S LAST SATURDAY MORNING-- ANOTHER AT ST. MARY'S A very notable and pretty wedding occurred at St. Patrick's church here at nine o'clock last Saturday morning, when Miss Mary Elizabeth Ibsh, daughter of Adolph Ibsh, became the bride of Mr. Henry J. Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Miller of this city, the ceremony having been performed by Rev. M. J. McEvoy, paster of St. Patrick's. Miss Clara Miller, sister to the groom, played the wedding, march, and she and Miss Blanche Meyers sang the nuptial mass which followed the wedding ceremony. Mrs. J. J Dwyer of Chicago, who was formerly Miss Mary Moritz of this city, sang Roswig's "Ave Maria" at the offertory and "Because" before the bridal couple left the church. She was accompanied on the organ by Miss Mary Doherty. Miss Ibsh, who proved one of the prettiest brides ever married at St. Patrick's, wore a gorgeous gown of white romaine crepe, heavily beaded with pearly. Her veil was fastened to her head with orange blossoms and pearls. She carried a beautiful bridal bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley vand roses. Miss Elizabeth K. Miller, sister to the groom, was the bride's only attendant. Her dress was of orchid colored romaine crepe, also prettily beaded. Miss Miller wore a becoming picture hat of black maline with an attractive orchid trimming, which blended nicely witii her gown. Her bouquet was of tea roses and daisies. The groom was attended by Mr. E. Ray McGee, who acted as best man. Immediately following the church ceremony a dinner and reception was held at Justen's hotel. The couple left that some evening on an extended honeymoon which is to be spent in Wisconsin and on their return to this city, will go to house-keeping in the home owned by the bride's father, on Green street, which is all furnished and ready for immediate occupancy. The bride of this happy union is one of McHenry's most popular young ladies. For a number of years she has been employed at the local exchange of the Illinois Bell Telephone company, where her services were held invaluable. She is also an active member of Joyce Kilmer court, Catholic Daughters of America, and a member of St. Patrick's parish. She is held in very high esteem by countless friends thruout this entire section of the county. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Miller and is the .'viiior member of J. II. Miller & Son monumental dealers of this city. He is a graduate of the McHenry high school and during his school years won quite a reputation in school athletics, especially foot ball and basket ball. After leaving school he also played some professional basket ball, having been a member of the Hebron teem when that village boasted of one of the best fives in this section of the state. He is a member of McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Order of Foresters and the McHenry Community club. The Plaindealer joins the couple's many friends in extending congratulations. RAIN AGAIN HALTS GAME McHENRY OUTFIT TRAVELS TO AURORA NEXT SUNDAY Rain once more halted the game which was scheduled to have' been staged between McHenry and the State Line crew at the State Line park last Sunday and as a natural consequence the game has been set back until some time later in the season. Next Sunday the home club is billed to play the fast American Legion nine at Aurora and, to say the least, the players and fans are more than anx ious to get back to business. Everyone is hoping that the rain will "lay off" for one Sunday at least and thus give the home crew an opportunity to exhibit their wares in the down-rive* city which boasts of one of the fastest teams that has eyer represented that place. McHenry is going down there with that same old fighting spirit which has carried the team to four victories thus far this season and they expect to win. The next home games will be staged on Fourth of July when both morning and afternoon games will be played. In the morning the outfit will take on the galloping Wilmot aggregation, a team which last year handed the local crew, then playing under the Antioch banner, one of their few lickings. The Badger state gang is coming to McHenry with a world of confidence and according to reports they are going to bring along a small army of rooters who are willing to back their team to the last ditch, Wedekind and Franzen will undoubtedly form the battery for Wilmot, while Carroll and Kingsley will do the artillery work for the home lads. The morning game will be called promptly at 10:00 o'clock In the afternoon, starting promptly at 2:30, McHenry will have as their opponents the Crystal Lake team, composed largely of former Chicago semipros who are going great this season. Crystal Lake fans have been waiting many years to put together a team that would be capable of hand ing McHenry a neat trimming and to hear these backers of the Lakers express themselves, they have this season put together a nine that will the trick. MANY ATTRACTIONS WILL BE OFFERED DURING THREE DAY CARNIVAL Masqndet-FremHl A pretty wedding was solemnized at St. Mary's Catholic church here at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week, the contracting parties being Miss Margaret Pearl Freund and Mr. Frank M. Masquelet, both of McHenry. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Chas. S. Nix, while Sister Cantia played the. wedding march. Attending the pair were Miss Helena Freund, a sister to the bride, who acted as bridesmaid; Miss Carolyn Miller of Johnsburg, an intimate friend to the bride, who carried the role of maid of honor, while George Phalin served as best man. The bride's gown was of white beaded geosgette. A veil of Spanish lace, together with a head dress of rhinestones and lilies-of-the-valley completed her costume. She carried a bouquet of white roses and lilies-ofthe- valley. The bridesmaid wore a dress of beaded orange crepe de chine. She carried yellow roses. The maid of honor was attired in a gown of blue georgette crepe trimmed in Spanish gold lace. She carried pink roseft. A wedding dinner, followed by a reception, was tendered the couple at the home of the bride's parents and in the evening a wedding dance was enjoyed at Stoffel's hall. The bride is the fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob M. Freund, who reside on Main street in this city. She has always resided in and around McHenry, where she is popular among a wide circle of friends. The groom, altho born in Chicago, has made his home in this city since (Continued on last page) MILK TRAIN WRECKED AT LONG LAKB A fast train of the Janesville division of the St. Paul railroad was wrecked near the Long Lake station, over in Lake county, at 5:12 o'clock on Monday evening of this week. Twelve freight cars, eleven of which were loaded with milk for the Chicago market and the twelfth containing cattle, were derailed and partially demolished. One cow and a calf were killed. Heavy steel rails were torn up for a distance of several hundred feet, while some of the cars were reduced to splinters. The roadbed was torn up to such an extent as to halt traffic for about twenty-four hours. Trains stopped at Rondout where the passengers were transferred to the North Shore lines. The exact cause of the wreck has not as yet been ascertained, altho an investigation was started shortly after the report of the wreck. The engine and caboose did not leave the track and therefore no one was seriously injured, altho the conductor, who was riding in the caboose, received painful hurts. PREMATURE CELEBRATING SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED Premature celebrations have been quite the common practice among some of the younger people of this city during the past week or more. This sort of thing in the better regulated cities and towns is not tolerated and why such a nuisance and annoyance to the sick should be allowed in McHenry is more than we are able tu understand. There is an ordinance in the law books of our municipality which prohibits such practices and carries fines of from $3 to $10 and costs for each offense and we cannot see any good reason why the ordinance should not be enforced here. Parents could do a great deal towards the elimination of this nuisance by warn ing children against the shooting of fire crackers or any other noise makers until the morning of the Fourth. Place yourself in the position of the sick about town and you'll appreciate to the fullest extent why the nuisance should be stopped immediately. MOST OF FARM CULVERTS ARE NOW IN The gang employed in putting in the farm entrance culverts along the completed cement road between this city and Volo will soon complete their end of the work. The culverts are now all in as far as the material camp on the Nick Weingart farm and according to the present outlook the entire job should be finished very shortly. On the other hand the shouldering gang has another month's work before they get through. It has been rumored that the road will be open to travel next Sunday and then again over the Fourth of July holidays. However, the Plaindealer hasnt been able to verify this statement. THERE WILL BE SOMETHtH© DOING EVERY MINUTE--LARGE CROWDS ANTICIPATED Preliminaries are coming along just fine and with the members of the various committees hard at work the three day carnival to be sponsored by the members of the McHenry post, American Legion, bids fair to terminate into one of the biggest and most successful undertakings of the kind ever attempted in this section of the county. The big event will take place at Conway's park adjacent to the Fox pav ilion, about a quarter of a mile north of this city on the east side of the river, and will continue over the Fourth of July holidays, starting Friday, July 4th and ending .at midnight on Sunday, July 6. There will be plenty of attractions and amusements. In fact, it is the plan of the executive and general committees to have something doing every minute of the tiihe during the entire three-days stretch. At 10:00 o'clock on the morning of the Fourth, the McHenry and Wilmot teams will clash at the McHenry ball park. Ih the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the locals will tackle the Crystal Lake aggregation. Over at the scene of the real carnival all of the various concessions and amusements will be in full sway all day and evening with dancing at the Fox pavilion both afternoon and evening. The special feature for the evening will be the setting off of a $500 fireworks spectacle by the Gordon company, which bears the reputation of being one of the best of its kind in existence. There will be endless array of large pieces of fire works, which together with the smaller ones, will make the display worth going miles to see. - The big special feature for Satur day afternoon, July 5th, will be motor boat races on Fox river, under the auspices of the newly formed Fox River Valley Power Boat Club. Officials of the club have been busy for some time past in an endeavor to interest every owner of a speedy power boat in this summer resort region to enter their crafts for these races and according to reports success is sure to attend their efforts. Some of the fastest power boats in this region are sure to take part in these water events which, to those who have never seen such races, should prove a big drawing card. The officials of the boat club have signified a willingness to co-operate in every way possible with the Legion post in bringing the three day carnival to a very successful conclusion, and the public may therefore rest assured of a fine-water program on Saturday afternoon, July 5. The concessions at the carnival grounds will be open and <loing business all Saturday afternoon and evening, while the Fox pavilion will be open to the lovers of dancing. A Ford touring car, upon which numbers are now being distributed by canvassers, will be given away on Sunday night. The music for the carnival will be furnished by the McHenry band, which has been putting in regular rehearsals during the past several weeks in anticipation of filling the usual summer engagements. The band is already in splendid condition and is certain to keep the crowd in good humor. A large plane will also be on the grounds during the three days for the purpose of carrying passengers. At a meeting of the general committee as held at the city hall here on Monday evening, many of the things concerning the coming carnival were gone over very carefully and before adjournment Richard B. Walsh, as chairman of the concession committee, named the following sub-chairman: John Bolger, floor lamp concession; J. J. Vycital, electric percolators; Martin B. Schmitt. candy race track; Peter M. J us ten, Indian shawl blankets; C. Unti, soft drinks; Peter W. Frett, hams and bacon; E. R. McGee, corn concession; V/m. Spencer, special concession; Geo. Bohr, automobile ticket conceaiior.. These sub-chairman, who will be held responsible for their respective concessions, are expected to appoint their own helpers. Under favorable weather conditions McHenry will entertain an immense crowd over the three days and the carnival should prove a big social, as well as financial success. The entire proceeds will be turned into a fund to be created for the purchase of a fire truck and apparatus ior the city of McHenry. AURORA OR BUST ~Quite a number of the local baseball fans are planing on making the trip to Aurora next Sunday, where McHenry will tackle the American Legion team of that city. The game is scheduled to start at 3:00 o'clock standard time, thus local fans can see the game by leaving this at noon. • , ' MESSAGE OF THE CHRIST CHILD TO BE GIVEN AT M. E. CHURCH JUNE 27. On Friday evening at 8:00 o'clock^ at the M. E. church the Daily Vacation Bible School, which has been in session every forenoon since June 16, will come to a successful close.

STORM LAST SUNDAY DID MUCH DAMAGE This section last Sunday noon was visited by the season's most severe rain and hail storm, causing considerable damage 'to vegetation and prop erty. The storm broke about one o'clock and for fifteen minutes the streets here were swept by great tor rents of water which, in a number of cases, flooded basements. The storm was accompanied by hail, the like of which has not been witnessed here in some time. Driven by a pt-oner wind the hail effected its greatest damage to small garden vegetation. Jos. J. Miller, the Riverside Drive merchant, probably suffered the greatest damage when the basement of his store building was flooded, thus ruining considerable of his stock which has been stored there. Scores of auto parties were caught in the midst of the downpour and as a result many machines became mired in the mud and water and had to be towed out. Here-in the city the flow of water was more than the sewers were able to absorb and as a consequence our thorofares, for a time, bore the semblance of rushing brooks, rather than streets. According to calendar predictions we cannot expect a relief from this rain period for another month. Here's hoping that the weather prognosticator has made a poor gues6 and that sunshine and fair weather will predominate for a few weeks at least. MR. AND MRS. ZENK ENTERTAIN ELGIN FRIENDS ITEMS OF INTEREST Mr. and Mrs. William Zenk very pleasantly entertained a company of Elgin friends at their farm home, southwest of this city, last Sunday. Music and singing provided the diversion from about ten o'clock until eleven- thirty, after which a most delicious dihner was served by the hostess. The table was most attractively decorated with pink and yellow roses and daisies. The afternoon was passed at dancing, instrumental and vocal music, and at four o'clock supper was served. Those privileged to enjoy this happy occasion were Mr. and Mrs. August Price and family, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Drollea, Mr. and Mrs. Otis Schippman and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bauman and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson, Fred Rucker and Hugh Grieves. Upon leaving for their homes, in the evening, the guests voted the Zenk family royal entertainers. McHENRY YOUNG LADY TAKES NUN'S VEIL Miss Marie Young, daughter of Mrs. Catherine Young, who resides on the Terra Cotta road just outside of the south city limits, took the veil at St. Joseph's convent at Milwaukee, Wis., on Tuesday of this week. She is now known as Sister Mary Edulfa, O. E. S. Sister Edulfa entered the Milwaukee convent last fall. Those from McHenry who saw the impressive ceremony during which the young lady took the veil were Mrs. Catherine Young, daughters, Agnes and Genevieve, and son, Edward; Mrs. Stephen Schmitt and Miss Mildred Klein of McHenry and Mrs. Ralph Smith Elgtp. - FIRST COMMUNION A class of thirteen will make their first Holy Communion at the 8:15 o'clock maiss at St. Patrick's Catholic church here next Sunday morning.

The plasterers at the new communi-^ ty high school building expect to get^. thru on the top floor by the end of this week, when they will move down to the main floor. The cement work-, ers are bemg kept busy laying the floors in the structure. Mrs. Mary Kelley of Chicago, Wbo recently purchased the Fred Karges V house on North Park avenue, this city, ^ has had the place enlarged and otherwise improved, all of which will add * to its appearance and comforts. A ' spacious porch has also been added. The Fourth of July holidays are sure to bring hundreds of visitors tr McHenry and as a natural consequence ; our hotels will not be able to take 1 care of everyone. Private home owners undoubtedly will again be called . upon to accommodate the overflow crowd. - The light at the intersection of Green and Elm street is about the' poorest excuse we have ever laid 6ur eyes on. Might just as well stick a ..1; candle up there so far as the illumi-" nating power is concerned. It's a : joke. The city's busiest corner is Isurely entitled to better lighting servfee. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. 5 Pich of Chicago, on North Park ave- :::: nue in this city, which has undergone » extensive alterations- and improve-~ ments, will soon be ready for occupancy. The basement at the site from which the house was moved some time , ago is being filled in and now makes , up an ideal corner lot. The home of Mrs. Sarah Sherburne on Maple avenue, which was recently ; s damaged by fire, is now being repair- | ed, repapered and varnished. Mrs. Sherburne and her daughter, Anna ; who have been making their home with Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Harrison near , Jy Ringwood since the fire, expect t*» ' 3 turn home in a short time. , SlS The remains of Miss Etta Kittle, who passed away at her late home at Crystal Lake on Sunday, were brought to McHenry for burial on Tuesday afternoon of this week, interment having been made in the family lot in - • ^ Woodland cemetery. The deceased will be favorably remembered by many , f* of our older readers. She taught the little school on John street ort the , J? West Side, which is now the home of "'f. F. C. Feltz and family. It was more " i ir than twenty-five years ago that she taught here. She is survived by one ;|K brother, Willis Kittle of Crystal Lake. Word was received here this week announcing the marriage of Miss Genevieve Bonslett, daughter of Mr. and t v- Mrs. John W. Bonslett of this city, and Mr. Arthur D. Hunter, youngest • *• son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Hunter, 5 Sr., of McHenry. The wedding took place at Hollywood, Cal., on June 12.
