" new S^°P ?nd go traffic signal, installed at Broad and Main streets, Lake Geneva, is now doing excellent .i . •••' service. Wauconda has set out lo raise via popular subscription enough money to insure the purchase of a modern fire truck for that village. Thus far the fund has reached about $900. County Judge C. P. Barnes of Woodstock has joined the State Senior Golf association, the membership of which is made up of golfers who have reached the age of 50 and past. Milk cows on Lake county farms, according to figures as compiled by heads of the state and federal departments of agriculture, number 30,660 head with a total value of $2,053,560. The carpenters' union at Waukegan has voted a raise for their members. Starting June 1, the scale will be $1.37% per hour instead of $1.25. The painters are being paid at the rate of $12.00 per day. The Belmont, a new 30-room hotel, will be opened some time ttiis month at Williams Bay, Wis. The hostelry will be in charge of Mike Zabadal of Chicago. The dining room will feature German-Hungarian cooking. Sid Smith, creator of "Andy Gump," was pulled in by a Lake Zurich motorcycle cop for "too much speed." He paid a fine of $15.00. The arrest occurred on a dirt road, within the jurisdiction of the' Lake Zurich official, one day last week. A hail storm which passed over the western part of Lake county one day recently did considerable damage, the ; greatest loss having been reported from Libertyville and vicinity, where several windows were broken and other losses sustained. Herman Long, an employe of O. Stiefenhoefer & Company, Barrington, was fined $100 one day last week and deprived of his license for one year on a charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated. The arrest occurred at Barrington. The Fox Lake Golf and" Country club is again open for the season, the playing season having been officially opened last Friday morning. This is the second season for the club and it is-said that for new grounds the course is in exceptionally fine condition and the officials of the club look forward to a big season. Two justices at; Wauconda are being kept quite busy these days assessing fines against those who are being brought before them on charges of exceeding the automobile speed limit. Looks like Wauconda has set out to make automobile touring a safe pastime. R. C. Kent and Henry Stadtfeld are the Wauconda justices. At the recent village election at Richmond a whole ticket of young men was elected to the various offices to be filled, including a new president. E. C. Covell, who has served the municipality as the president of the board for a period of twenty years was defeated. Richmond wants some of the improvements now enjoyed by most of the towns in McHenry county and we look for the new board to do everything within its power to bring this about. Wauconda has at last been assured of a golf course. A number of Lake county men have interested themselves to such anvextent as to secure a charter,' arrange for the grounds and attend to the other preliminaries attendant to the forming of such a club. Work on the grounds, it is understood, is to start at once. Wauconda^ is ideally located for such a venture and it looks to us as if the project can and will be made a social as also financial success. Grayslake will not be given a npw community high school very soon according to the present outlook. A committee appointed for the purpose of securing signatures to a petition asking that a certain territory be set aside for the proposed district has not met with very much encouragement and as a result two of the members of this committee have tendered their resignations. Whether or not a new committee will take up the work remains to be seen. Mrs. Adeline Morey of Waukegan will receive public recognition of her long and splendid record as a public school teacher on Tuesday, May 12, at -*\whieh time a celebration in her honor is being arranged by the Parent- Teachers' association of that city.

Blair, state superintendent on instruction, will speak in recognition of her long service at the special program which is to be given in Mrs. Morey's honor next Tuesday. LOCAL MONUMENT FIRM ADDS LATEST LETTERING DEVICE J. H. Miller ft Son, local monument dealers and memorial craftsmen, now have in operation one of the latest lettering devices known to the trade, a^Pangborn Sandblast machine. The new machine was purchased a short time since, and altho the owners have had but a week in whichjto familiarize themselves with the working" thereof, work of a very high order is now being turned out by its use. To make the new machine complete in every detail it was necessary for the local firm to construct a special room in which this worlf is carried out. A visit to their place of business will prove a real revelation to anyone who has never seen this wonderful machine in operation. , The new equipment, besides the sandblast, consists of a 6x6 double acting air compre3&er, a large air tank, fans and several other minor devices, all of which have their own work to perform. The equipment is driven by a fifteen horse-power electric motor. When in operation the blast operates at a 90-pound pressure. ** Sandblasting is a peening process, by which particles of stone are dislodged and removed by the clean-cut blow of the tiny abrasive "bullets'* as shot out of the nozzle by the force of the compressed air. Each little bullet acts like a tiny round-nosed peening hammer. The work is done, not by any sharpness or cutting edges of the abrasive, but by the shock of their bullet-like impact. The process has been used for a generation in the metal craft for removing burnt sand from castings, freeing hot rolled steel from scale, removing paint from metal structures and similar work. Its widespread adaptation to stone is more recent, but not less important, from the standpoint of economy in production and the beauty of the work done. While it is true that sandblast is fast and a labor-saving device, it also produces an effect that cannot be duplicated by hand in either contrast or quality. Sandblast designs are much more effective than handwork and will last much longer. In the past it has been quite a common custom among memorial craftsmen to use the raised letters because sunk letter could not REOPEN BUCH HOTEL POPULAR HOSTELRY TO REOPEN UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT OWNER RETAINS FRONT FOR ICE CREAM AND SOFT DRINK PARLOR-- OPEN SATURDAY Buch's hotel and summer resort in this city will re-open next Saturday morning under the management of L. R. Zimmer and Edward Cook, two hustling young gentlemen who recently came to this city from Palatine. The entire place has recently undergone some very decided changes Every room has been repainted and decorated, new furniture installed, additional conveniences added and everything done that will add to itd comfort and iattractiveness. Buch's hotel and summer resort has been a favorite stopping place over a period of many years. Its reputation among travelers and reporters extends over a wide area and it is the aim of the new managers to conduct the place in such a manner as to maintain the, good name which the hotel has borne over these many years. Altho strangers to most of our people, Messrs. Zimmer and Cook give one the impression that they are wide awake and will do everything within reason to make their" new business venture a success. Mr. Zimmer is the soh of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Zimmer of this city, who have had more or less business experience along the hotel lines. As a matter of fact the son sort of grew up in this line of work and therefore is well qualified to shoulder his share of the responsibilities that go along with the new undertaking. As stated above all of the bed "rooms will be newly furnished and a trip thru the place gives every indication of strict sanitation and cleanliness, two potent factors bringing success tc hotel management. A restaurant will be conducted in connection with the hotel where meals will be served at all hours. Ice Cream And Soft Drinks The store room of the building has been retained by John J. Buch and son, Joe, who will conduct therein a first class ice cream and soft drink parlor. The place has been newly painted The Ladies' Cemetery Aid society will meet with Mrs. T. J. Walsh, Tuesday, May 12, at 2:30 p. in. We would be pleased to have the lot owners send in their dues for the year promptly. By so doing you can assist those who are trying to superintend the work in Woodland cemetery. > Mrs. Ella Wheeler, V. Prifc Mrs. T. J. Walsh, Sjpr. K. OF 0.

The degree team, composed of 'Thos. A. Bolger, John A. Bolger, Leo Heimer, Alfred Debrecht, Harvey Nye and Roy Kent, performed the impressive work in a highly satisfactory manner. After the conclusion of the work short talks were made by Revs. M. J. McEvoy, Chas. S. Nix and John Hackett, as also by Attorney William M. Carroll of Woodstock. The candidates will be given the second and third degrees at Harvard on Sunday, Mpy 24, at which time a large class gathered from various sections of the county will be likewise honored. , . and changes for the betterment made, be cut deep enough to give the right AU of the m bar room fixtures havc. shade or.contrast without making the| been removed and in their stead a letters broad, thereby many times j modern ice cream fountain and fixtures spoiling their appearance. The v*new have been installed. The entire front way has overcome this condition afi there is practically no limit to the depth that a sunk letter may be cut with the new machine. Very narrow lines, known to the trade as hairlines, can be cut better as there is no limit to the depth. Raised letters can be cut equally as well. As a matter of fact the new machine does the work of from four to five expert hand workers, does the work more satisfactorily and makes the life of the craftsmen more pleasant. J. H. Miller, the senior member of the firm, who has had many years experience in his chosen line, is an artist of no mean ability. His artistic designs and lettering stamp him as one of the best workmen in his line in this section. The local shop enjoys a wide field of activity and with the new equipment is placed in a position whereby it is now turning out high class work in remarkably short time, time. The firm extends an invitation to the public to visit fheir shop, and inspect some of the, work that is now being turned out by use of the new equipment. CHICAGO POLICE FIND AMBROSE SCHAEFER'S CAR Ambrose Schaefer, whose Star touring car was stolen here 'on the evening of April 22, has been notified by the Chicago police department that the machine has been found and is now being held subject to his call and proving ownership. Mr. Schaefer went to Chicago this morning and if he finds that the car held is his property, will probably drive the machine out some time during the day. It develops that the car, on the evening it was stolen, was standing on the west side of the garage, the thieves making their getaway while garage attaches stood talking in front of the piaee. Two strangers, who had arrived in McHenry that morning in search of work, are suspected of the theft. They were seen to drive the machine away just a few moments before Mr. Schaefer called for it. John King, whose home is located on Court street, saw the men enter the car and drive away and thought little of the incident as he took it for granted that they were driving away in their own machine. DR. FOWLER OPENS AN OFFICE AT WAUCONDA Dr. S. J. Fowler, local chiropractor who maintains offices in this city and Woodstock, has completed arrangements whereby he will conduct an office at Wauconda where he will be found on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays of each week. He will be located in the rooms occupied by Dr. Aurelio Fernandez, Wauconda dentist. end of the building has been made into one large room which gives it a very fine seating capacity. Instead of the customary tables as are usually to be found in parlors of this sort, there will be installed the more moderif& ooths. These booths have been ordered arid the owners hope to have them delivered and set up for use on the opening day, next Saturday. Jlc- Henry ice cream, both in the bulk and brick, is to be handled. GOLF CLUB MANAGER BUSY AT LAPORTE. IND. In a letter to The Plaindealer in which he renews his subscription to The Plaindealer, W. L. Howell, who has just taken over the management of the LaPorte, Ind., Country club, writes that he is being kept unusually busy in getting the big club house and grounds ready for the season's opening. The LaPorte club is one of the largest and most substantial in that section of Indiana. Mr. Howell's post is one of more than ordinary responsibility, but his past experience at the Chapel Hill Country club and his business experience along other channels fit him well for the position he has just taken over. Our prediction is that the members of the LaPorte club will find in Mr. Howell a very valuable and efficient manager. Mr. and Mrs. Howell are now nicely settled in their new home at 506 Maple Ave., LaPorte, Ind. NEW WEST SIDE MARKET IS OPENED WEDNESDAY P. J. Schaefer, who recently rented the Brefeld building on Main street, on Wednesday morning of this week opened therein a meat market and grocery where he will' handle meats, groceries, vegetables and fruits. Mr. Schaefer has had several years city and country experience in this line ot business and should make'a success of the new venture. Prior to his entry into business for himself he has been employed by Peter W. Frett and Peter J. Heimer, his last place of employment_ having been in the latter's market on Riverside Drive. KttAD JRACTOR BECOMES MIRED IN MAIN STREET One of the big caterpillar tractors, owned and used by the McGucken Vander Heyden Construction company, became mired in Main street on Wednesday morning of this week and it "Was several hours before^ workmen were able to extricate the machine. The tractor went into one of the soft places where sewer connections had been made only recently. Ordinarily this type of tractor does not get themselves into such predicaments. McHENRY WILL tRAVEL TO STATE LINE SUNDAY McHenry's fandom will be obliged to travel away from home for theiV baseball next Sunday as the home club is scheduled to do battle with the State Liners at their park near Genoa City, Wis., on that day. These two teams did not meet but once during last season, this game going to McHenry by a close count. Each of the two teams have thus far played two games this season. The State Liners won their opening game and lost last Sunday's contest to Burlington, Wis. McHenry lost their opening game tc Aurora and won Sunday's game from the Dundee Peerless. The State Liners this year have one of the strongest teams that had represented the vil lages of Richmond and Genoa City since these two towns have combined their baseball forces and from this we take it that McHenry will have to step some to carry home the honors. A large crowd of McHenry fans will accompany the home club to the State Line park. Hook up your old bus, load it up with fans and make the trip. TWO MACHINES COLLIDE ON RICHMOND ROAD Two sedans, one .a Studebaker and the other a Chevrolet, collided on the McHenry-Richmond road near the Jacob Freund home shortly after dinner last Sunday and as a result the Chevrolet was quite badly damaged altho, fortunately, no one was hurt. The Studebaker was traveling north and the Chevrolet south, when the two machines came together. The Chevrolet was being driven by its owner, J. Seymour, of Chicago. The other passengers were .his wife and .two children. The Studebake was occupied by a young man and lady, whose names we were unable to obtain. Their machine bore a Chicago license plate. According to Mr. Seymour the young lady was driving the Studebaker and from all appearances the man was teaching her to drive. Her machine skidded in the sand and before Mr. Seymour was able to avoid it, the other car had smashed into his own machine, the compact upsetting the Chevrolet, smashing both of its hind wheels and doing other minor damage. The Studebaker escaped with a smashed fender. , MRS. ELIZABETH ^HUNTER PASSES AWAY AT ELGIN MM. Elizabeth Hunter, a highly respected resident of this city for a number of year£» passed away at her late home at Elgin last Friday evening following a few months' illness. Mrs. Hunter, prior to taking up her residence in this city, lived at Barreville where her late husband conducted farm. Mr. Hunter passed away about twenty-five years ago. She had made her home at- Elgin since leaving McHenry which occurred a number of years ago. The deceased is survived by one son, John R., of Terre Haute, Ind., and a daughter, Mrs. Chas. J. Heimer of Chicago. The funeral was conducted from the Norris chapel at Elgin at one o'clock cm Monday afternoon of this week with interment in the family lot in the Crystal Lake cemetery.

HOOVER, 23, AND FATHER OT FAMILY POUND GUILTY [Saturday's Milwaukee Journal] Despite the fact a jury of six men and six women has found him guilty of murder, and despite the fact that he realizes that almost everyone who has heard of the brutal slaying of Mrs. Vera Bosshard believes he did it, Wendell Hoover still protests his innocence. The convicted youth wept in his cell at the county jail Saturday morning when he was asked what he thought of the verdict. "Well, what can I think!" he cried "I'm innocent! My God! I'm innocent! That's all V "Do you waht to say anything about the trial?" "What I have to say cant be printed!" "Why?" Blames the Police "Those police!" he snarled. "Those fellows went out to get me--they had to get a conviction and they got me. "I don't see how the jury could get a verdict in an hour and a half. They had all that testimony and if they had gone over it all to give me a square deal, they never could have reached a verdict in that time." "Well, everybody seems to think you're guilty, you know." "Yes, so I've been told, but, knowing I'm innocent, I can't see how it can be. They talked about my lack of emotion! My God, man! That trial was a terrible ordeal! I went through hell a dozen times and a man doesn't want to wear his feelings where everyone an see them. I struggled hard to keep myself calm--and then they call me heartless, stony-faced. Stranger on Stairs "The police laughed at my story of the mysterious stranger I met on the back stairs. "Well, I cjifti't blame them. Do you know, it sounded like fiction even to me as I heard myself telling it, after I had heard all those men declare hadn't mentioned that story to them!" Hover wiped his eyes with a cor ner of the sheet on his cell bunk. He sat silent a moment. Then: "Some day I'll get out! Some day they'll know the truth, IH maintain my innocence till the day I die, and some day they'll know Dn telling the truth!" Sentenced Hoover Wendell W. Hoover.. 23, was sentenced Saturday to life imprisonment for the murder of Mrs. Vera T. Bosshard Dec. 17 in her flat at 958 Oakland av. Judge A. H. Reid, Wausau, denounced the crime as the most heinous in his experience, and expressed the wish tha% under Hhe law of Wisconsin, he might impose the death penalty. Hoover stood before the bench, looked the judge squarely in the eye, and did not show a sign of emotion as he was subjected to the most excoriating denunciation which a prisoner has received in a THE JOYCE KILMER PLAYERS TO PRESENT BEAUTIFUL DRAMA HERE SOON "The Joyce Kilmer Players" the foremost Catholic dramatic guild of Chicago will be at the Empire Theatre on Wednesday, May 27, for one special performance of "The Watcher at the Gate a startling play on spiritualism by William Roeder and A. E. Bradley. This extraordinary drama of modern life has two particular merits, its remarkable and weird plot and the naturalness of its characters. The hero is a wilful and highstrung young society man who sets his parish priest, fiancee, and family at defiance becausi of his morbid interest in the theories of spiritism and spirit communication. His persistance in opposing their wise counsel leads to serious circumstances which causes all concerned much unpleasantness and extreme mental suffering. The plot alone would be sufficient to recommend the play. Every act increases the auditors expectations and leaves him more hopelessly in the dark until at a happy crisis the plot begins to unravel and the auditor is surprised anew at the unexpected turn of events. The presentation of "The Watcher at the Gate"' will confirm "The Joyce Kilmer Players" enviable reputation as one of the foremost of the many Catholic dramatic guilds. Tickets for the performance are now on sale at Bolger's drug store and Nye's jewelry store. These tickets are exchangeable for the regular Empire coupon tickets after May 21. DECISION IN JOHN aT MILLERJACOB WEINGART CASE The Supreme Court has just handed down a decision affirming the case cf John A. Miller vs. Jacob Weingart, et al. This was a suit brought by Mr. Miller to restrain Mr. Weingart from using a driveway in Mr. Miller's subdivision for any other purpose than egress from or ingress to the lots in this subdivision. The lot which Mr. Weingart purchased abutted his farm, and he was using the driveway for farm purposes and for the lot owners on Mr. Weingart's farm. This question was a very important one in this county because of the Urge number of subdivisions along Fox river, and if this case had not been affirmed, anyone would have a right to drive into a subdivision, use the roads for picnic purposes, and every road would have been public. This decision makes roads leading to subdivisions private and only for the use of the lot owners and persons desiring to visit them, and adds materially to the value of the lots, as most Chicago people do not want the roadway in back of their lota a public camping ground.

MISS SCHAID SURPRISED ON FOURTEENTH BIRTHDAY The official opening of the golf season at the McHenry Country club last Sunday proved a most delightful occasion. The course presented a most inviting aspect, and in making the rounds the scores of fans found the Milwaukee I fairways and greens just fine. All county court in many years. When he day longj untii late in the afternoon, reached the county jail, however, he course was well occupied by membroke down completely and wept for bers and a large number of visitors. an hour. He buried his face in his hands and rocked back and forth on the bunk in his cell, repeatedly moaning, "I am innocent! I am innocent! I am innocent!" The only words spoken by the sentenced man after leaving the courtroom were addressed to Deputy Sheriff Theodore Tomanek, to whom he said, "I hope they don't send me away till Monday. I want to see my mothei and my wife and babies/' -- Speaks in Loud Tones The judge addressed Hoover in tones heard all over the courtroom as tie Imposed sentence. "The court feels that you are con victed on perfectly clear and convincing evidence," he said. "I am astounded that you are able to stand here--that you have been able to sit through this trial, attesting your innocence. "I am convinced that you know as I know, that it isn't true! I have never sat in a murder case in which the evidence was more convincing. Most Heinous Crime, "Thjs is the most heinous crime 1 ever have listened to in any court. I always have been opposed to capita! punishment. This is a case in which I wish the law was otherwise. I have always felt that I should hesitate-- that I should dislike-- to sentence a man to death." "This is an occasion when I could have done so cheerfully! "Your conduct throughout .this trial has been astonishing. There is no use in further denunciation. I have but one duty to perform. "It is the judgment and sentence of this court that you be confined at hard labor in the state's prison at Waupun. county of Dodge, the rest of your natural life; and that on the seventeenth of December of each year ybu shall be kept in solitary confinement!" The green's fees for the day amounted to approximately $70. Not so bad for the opening day. More and more are the citizens of McHenry and especially the members of the club beginning to realize that they have one of the finest courses to be found anywhere outside of Chicago. The season bids fair to develop into the biggest and most successful one since the birth of the club three years ago.
