The village council at Richmond has appointed H. L. Chevillon as treasurer : of that municipality for the coming year. N.. L. Jackson, state legislator of Belvidere, has returned to his desk in the general assembly after a severe illness. According to' present plans Walworth county, Wis., will have 130 miles of concrete roads constructed during the present season. Sunday mail has been discontinued at Barrington. However, the postoffice there will be open on Sunday morning as usual for the convenience of box owners. R. A. Cepek, Chicago banker, has purchased the J. A. Peterson farm adjoining the city of Crystal Lake. The tract consists of fifty-eight acres and ' will be subdivided. By a vote of three to one, EH gin - merchants have decided to close their respective places of business at 12:30 on Wednesdays of each week from July 15 to August 26. Twenty-eight head of cattle and three horses were burned in a fire which destroyed a large stock barn on the farm owned by John Burns near Delavan, Wis., one day recently. The ticket office and waiting room of the new Union station in Chicago will open tomorrow (Friday). However, the formal opening of the station will not take place until a month later. The Lake1 Geneva Driving association atid city council have finally ironed out their differences regarding the race track in that city and the former association is now making arrangements for "the holding of a series of horse races there the coming summer. Thirteen acres of land on the old Wilmington farm, north of/Burton's Bridge, has been sold by John Davis to J. J. Croke, of Chicago. The purchaser is planning extensive improve- . ments which will include the dredging out and creating of a large artificial lake. The Marengo high school band, assisted by members of the Community band of that city, are now giving weekly band concerts every Wednesday evenings. These concerts will be continued, under the auspices of the Business Men's association, until the close of school. Marengo now has a completely organized Building and Loan association. Although there are still a number of shares to be sold, enough interest has been displayed and a sufficient amount of money paid in to warrant the association of functioning. Such an association is a mighty fine thing for any community. It means the building of more homes and eventually more home owners. The members of the American Legion post and fire department of Grsyslake have joined forces and are now laying plans for the raising of a suitable fund with which to erect a building to be used by the two bodies. The Legion already owns a lot there and from the spirit manifested at a recent meeting of the two organizations it looks as if their long-wished for building will soon become a reality. George Lockwood, Crystal Lake yotmg man, was robbed of $207 in his room over the Schroeder shoe shop one night last week. The young man had just returned home from Dundee and it was shortly after midnight when two masked bandits, reaching in tferu an open window, relieved him of the above named sum. The robbery occurred while a roommate of the victim lay in bed just a short distance •way. The entire dairy herd, consisting of twenty-eight head of cattle, owned by Stewart Vander Mueller, a tenant on IF v the John DeYoung farm north of He- B|V bron, reacted to the tuberculin test when applied recently. The entire herd was shipped to Chicago following the f\' test. The herd owned by Frank Ha*» jg;^ thorne, also a Hebron farmer, showed I? . a better test, only fourteen out of *"• twenty-nine having been found to be ^ - reactors. .

The glee clubs have performed very creditably at various functions during the school year. For this con cert each club has an entirely new selection of numbers and an attractive feature has been added in the combining of the boys' and girls' clUbs. The auditorium will be open to anyone who enjoys good music. There will be no admission charge and the young musicians hope and expect to sing to a packed house.

INAUGURATED. MONDAY MORNING M. M. NIESEN TO QUIT WILL DISPOSE OF HIS GROCERY STOCK AT COST. M. M. Niesefi who, for many years, has conducted a grocery store on Green street, in this city, is selling out his stock at cost and expects to retire from this line of business at the close of this month. Starting the first of the month he will give his entire attention to the Fox dance pavilion which he built and with his son, Clarence, has conducted very successfully durng the past three summer seasons. As a matter of fact the Fox dance business has grown to such an extent that/Mr. Niesen has found it impossible to give the two places the attention that they deserve and thus he hap decided to close out the grocery business. Patrons of the grocery will learn of Mr. Niesen's decision with a feeling of sincere regret as he has always given his customers and the public the very best of service and handled a fine line of goods. The selling out sale has already started and everything in the store has been marked to sell at cost. This will give Ithe public fan opportunity to stock up on groceries at a great saving. The entire stock will be closed out within the next two weeks. The store now occupied by the Niesen grocery will be rented. While Mr. Niesen has not as yet rented the place he anticipates little trouble in finding a tenant as the location is a most desirable one. \- FT. SHERIDAN OUTFIT PASSED THROUGH HERE WEDNESDAY A cavalry outfit from Ft. Sheridan stopped in this city for a short time about ten o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week. The outfit, which consisted of about one hundred men and as many horses and the customary equipment, was on its way to Sparta, Wis., where they will remain for the summer. It isn't often that McHenry is treated to such a sight. Unfortunately there were but few who knew of the soldiers' coming and therefore only those residing in the lower end of town, especially along Pearl street, saw the outfit pass thru. The ^"rimi were in exceptionally fine condition. CANCEL EIGHTH GRADE COMMENCEMENT The eighth grade commencement exercises, owing to the iheasle epidemic, will be cancelled this year. This is on order from the office of the county superintendent of schools. The exercises for the various schools in this vicinity were to have taken place at the McHenry community high school auditorium. METHODIST CHURCH JI B. F.

SJPT •• ~ : - .RUNNING TIME BETWEEN Mc- HENRY AND CHICAGO SHORTENED-- BETTER SERVICE The Chicago & Northwestern railway company inaugurated its summer time schedule over this branch on Monday morning of this week. A perusal of the time table evidences that McHenry this summer'will be given better train service between here and Chicago than ever before. Not only will you find that the time arrangement will be much more satisfactory but in a few instances the running time between the two points has also been shortened by a few min utes. This gives McHenry and the other towns along this branch of the lines the fastest train service out of Chicago. The first morning passenger to Chicago noMf leaves the McHenry station at 6:03 and arrives at the Chicago terminal at 7:42. The next, the more popular with the public, leaves McHenry at 7:33, arriving in Chicago at 8:40,making the run in exactly one hour and seven minutes. The afternoon trains leave at 5:05 and 5:55. The former arrives in Chicago at 6:45 while the latter reaches the city at 7:15. Arrivals from Chicago are as follows: Leave Chicago 8:45 a. m., arrive McHenry, 10:19. Leave Chicago 12:30 p. m., arrive McHenry, 2:25 p. m. Leave Chicago 3:45 p. m., arrive in McHenry, 4:49 p. m. Leave Chicago 4:30 p. m., arrive McHenry, 6:10 p. m. The arrival and departure of Sunday trains are as follows: Leave Chicago 7:00 a. m., arrive McHenry, 8:19 a. m. Leave Chicago 8:16 a. m., arrive McHenry, 10:19 a. m. Leave Chicago 2:45 p. m., arrive McHenry, 5:00 p. m. Into Chicago: Leave McHenry, 7:10 a. m., arrive Chicago, 8:35 a. m. Leave McHenry 7:32 p. m., arrive Chicago, 9:00 p. m. Leave McHenry, 8:35 p. m., arrive Chicago, 9:55 p. m. " " The Saturday only train leaves Chicago at 11:50 a. m., and arrives at the McHenry station at 1:07. This train makes no stops between this city and Chicago. The Monday morning only leaves the McHenry station at 6:12 a. m., and arrives in Chicago at 7:35. First stop Clybourn. .There is but one train between the two points which will make all stops, this being the Sunday morning train which arrives at the McHenry station at 10:19. The other (Sunday morning train makes but one stop, this being at Clybourn. The train leaving McHenry for Chicago at 7:10 on Sunday mornings makes stops at Terra Cotta and Crystal Lake. The first Sunday evening train, leaving McHenry at 7:32, makes stops at Terra Cotta, Crystal Lake, Cary and Barrington. The second train on Sunday evenings, leaving McHenry at 8:35, makes but one stop before its arrival in Chicago* this being at Clybourn. The two fast trains, the one leaving McHenry at 7:33 a. m., and the other arriving in McHenry at 4:49 p. m., make no stope between here and Chicago. We believe that the new schedule will meet with the approval of the traveling public, especially resorters. The Sunday time schedule, especially, has. been greatly improved in that it gives the visitor an opportunity of spending a whole day in our midst. NEW FIRE SIREN TRIED OUT TUESDAY AFTERNOON PLAY ON SPIRITUALISM •ft) BE GIVEN BY JOYCE KILMER PLAYERS, MAY 27 McHenry's new fire siren was given a try-out on Tuesday afternoon of this week and while everything appeared to work quite satisfactorily, city officials are of the opinion that the volume could have been stronger. A few minor changes have been sug gested and will be made. Another test will be made next Saturday noon when it is hoped everything will prove satisfactory. The wiring and installation of the system connected wth the siren was done by the Carey Electric company of this city. ROADS MUCH IMPROVED The road between this city and Richmond at the present time is in about as good a condition as we have seen it in years. H. L. Fischer is the patrolman on this stretch and to say the least, he is doing a good job. The road between this city and Crystal Lake has also been greasy improved. The big county outfit which consists of a tractordriven grader has been at work on this stretch. A BABY BOY Mr. and Mrs. Henry N. Foss are rejoicing over the arrival of a ten-pound boy born to them at the Woodstock hospital last Sunday. Henry is bearing up quite bravely under the burden of his added responsibilities. Shampooing and marceling, McCabe residence. For appointments call phone 78-W. The Joyce Kilmer Players, Chicago's foremost Catholic dramatic guild, will be at the Empire theatre on Wednesday, May 27, for one special performi ance of William Roeder's and A. E. Bradley's startling play on spiritualism, "The Watcher at the Gate." The play is described as a weird and striking story of black magic--a daring plunge into the realm of the unusual with a background of a dramatic and heart-tightening fight for a man's immortal soul between a good woman and the powers of darkness. The principal characters who carry the thread of the story are Marshall Sherwood, a young society man, who becomes entangled in the net of spiritism; Father Bernard, a devout and fearless parish priest; Madame Romanowski, a Russian spiritist of th "vampire" tj^pe, and Florence Shannon, a girl as sweet and as womanly in every respect as has ever heen cop ied into the pages of a dramatic manu script. These characters are most vividly depicted and help to make up a drama so tense thqt it grips and holds the interest to the end. William Roeder, co-author of the play, heads the presenting cast of competent artists, who thus far have given more than eighty performances of "The Watcher at the Gate" in Chi cago and other large cities throughout the middle west.

ONLY FIVE LOTS LEFT IN WHEELER SUB-DIVISION J. F. BRYAN OF CHICAGO GIVES EXCELLENT TALK ON COMMUNITY BUILDING Thirty-five members of the" McHenry Community club attended a dinner meeting as held at Justen's hotel last Thursday evening and as a result of this happy gathering those present left for their homes at the conclusion of the meeting feeling that they had passed a most enjoyable as well as a profitable four hours. Thru the courtesy of A. E. Nye, president of the organization, and who, by the way, is setting forth untiring efforts in an endeavor to bring the organization back into its own, new song books were provided. With the cheer leader, N. H. Petesch, in a particularly pleasing mood, a number df songs were put over with great enthusiasm and "pep." The dinner as served by Host Justen and his amiable wife was of the kind that has served to popularize this hostelry to a very marked degree and if anyone left the place hungry it surely was not the fault of the hotel management. A number of matters were taken up after the regular routine of business and discussed at some length. One of the most important matters as taken up was that of the free tourist camp, which has been maintained on j Potion of Route 20. A meeting called for the purpose at getting the citizens of this city and community together on route 20 in the hope that an agreement Would mean the immediate building of the connecting link thru this city on this particular route was held at St. Mary's church hall last evening and while no definite conclusion was reached, it was voted just before adjournment to continue the meeting until next Tuesday evening. * Rev. Chas. S. Nix, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church of this city, was made chairman of the meeting and in his usual pleasing manner, acted In that capacity. The delegation last night was made up, in great part, of residents in the east end of the city and those who particularly favored the Pearl street entrance into the city, which would mean the construction of a new bridge over the site of the present one in case this route was picked. About a half dozen from the West Side and Centerville business sections were present. Because of this fact, it was decided to continue the meeting until next Tuesday night at which time citizens interested in route 20 are invited to gather at St. Mary's hall where another effort will be set forth to bring about an agreement between all factions which will insure an early comfUDnp$ 2.000 ALSO GIVEN SIX MONTHS' JAIL ' • : SENTENCE NO. 49 Only five of the original lots in the Mrs. Ella Wheeler sub-division, located on the west shore of Fox river, south of tliis city, remain unsold according to C. W. Stenger who has the selling rights of this beautiful tract. The property, it will be remembered, was subdivided only two years ago, and owing to the exceptionally attractive location, together with the beautiful shore, the lots sold very readily. Among the recent newcomers is Henry F. Miller, Chicago builder and contractor, who recently purchased a lot there and is now building for himself fine new home. Math. B. Laures, who purchased two lots in the subdivision some time ago, has also erected cottages on> each of them. As stated above there are but five lots left in this subdivision and should there be anyone in the city who would care to own one of these, they will do well to get in touch with Mr. Stenger at once as these are sure to be sold very shortly. ASK ELM STREET BIDS Bids for the Elm street paving will be opened by the board of local improvement on Monday, May 25. The proposed improvement will extend from the Riverside Drive paving on Elm street, west to Green street. The notice of the opening of sealed bids appears elsewhere in this issue of The Plaindealer. It is the hope of the members of the boards to let this contract so as to have this portion of Elm street paved by the middle of the summer. UNDERGOES OPERATION Mrs. B. F. Wentworth, wife of the pastor of the Frst Methodist church of this city, underwent an operation for appendicitis at the Wesley Memorial hospital in Chicago one day last week. Her many friends here will be pleased to know that the operation was entirely successful and that the patient is making a speedy recovery. She will probably be able to return tc her home here next week. DANCE AT JOHNSBURG A public dance will take place ac Kempfner's hall, Johnsburg, on Wednesday evening of next week, May 20. The Polly Prim orchestra of five pieces will furnish the music. A most cordial invitation is extended the public to attend. Remodeling sale in millinery starting Saturday, May 16. Hats from $1.00 to $5.00. No hat over $5.00. Blake Sisters' millinery, West McHenry. the M. A. Conway tract, east of Fox river, by the community club during the past two years. After some discussion on the matter it was voted to continue the camp, the members of the publicity committee being instructed to make arrangements with Mr. Conway for rental of the grounds for the season. i The publicity committee, with N. h. Petesch as the spokesman, reported that four welcome signs had been purchased and erected, as follows: One on the Woodstock road, one on the Terra Cotta road, one on the Wauke gan road and one on the Richmond road. This, he reported, took care of only four of the seven entrances to our city and after some discussion on the matter it was decided to provide three more signs to be erected on the MfHenry-Crystal Lake road, Mc- Henry-Johnsburg road and McHenry- Pistakee Bay road. Geo. H. Johnson, manager of the Alexander Lumber company plant in this city, offered the lumber for the additional signs while Thos. P. Bolger consented to donate the paint. Another matter which took up considerable time was the proposition to hold a big special sales event in McHenry. Plans for such an undertaking had previously been gone over quite thoroly by the business methods committee, which, with E. R. McGee as the spokesman, reported that prices had been secured on the printing of 5,000 copies of an eight-page booster edition to be circulated quite generally thruout McHenry and vicinity and the surrounding towns. While everyone appeared to favor such an undertaking most of those gathered in the meeting felt that owing to the condition of our streets the project should be delayed until such time as our new paving was in and opened to travel. A vote as taken on the question favored deferment. The special sales day program will therefore be carried out some time the early part of the summer. The observance of Memorial day was another matter that was discussed pro and con. E. R. McGee, as commander of the local post of the American Legion, explained that the Legion would again take charge of the exercises this year and that a good speaker would be secured for the occasion. The exercises this ye&r will again be held in the morning, same as last year, at the community high school auditorium, and a parade to the various cemeteries. The wish of the Legion, as expressed by Mr. McGee was to the effect that all business houses close during the time that the exercises are to be held, the exact time having not as yet been set. However, Most of those present favoring the Pearl street entrance into the city appeared reasonably well satisfied that the state highway department would willingly build the road thru the entire city, starting at the present site of the Fox river bridge, thence west on Pearl street to Green, south on Green to Waukegan and thence to con nect with the already completed cement road. Or, it was pointed out, the state would also consent to take Riverside Drive route, turning south on that thorofare at Buch's corner, thence west on Elm, south on Green, west on Waukegan and thence to con nect with the cement at Sherman's hill. Rev. Nix, before closing the meeting, expressed the hope that the continued meeting next Tuesday night would find a big delegation present from all sections of the city. Don't forget the place and date: ST. MARY'S HALL, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 19. BE THERE. PAVING TO START TOMORROW MIXER WILL START OPERATIONS AT THE FOOT OF MAIN STREET McHenry's first paving wiQ be laid tomorrow (Friday) morning When the big mixer starts work at the foot of Main street. The road bed on this thorofare is rapidly being put into condition for the paving and nothing but inclement weather can stop the progress of the work. According to Mr. McGucken it will require about ten days to pave the entire length of Main street to the C. & N. W. right-of-way and also one block on Front street. The curbing gang iB now busily employed on Riverside Drive. Work was started on the north end of of this street and by the time the paving gang I tents. JOHNSBURG MOONSHINER DREW VERY SEVERE FINE -- WEQ9- SCHEN&ER CASE TUESDAY John Freund, a young farmer iog north of Johnsburg, was aa a fine of $2,000 and sentenced to six months in the McHenry county jail at Woodstock, by Judge C. P. Barnes in the McHenry county court last Friday morning. The cbargvs against the defendant were for owning and operating a still and selling moonshine liquor. The fine and ja3 sentence is the most severe yet handed down in the county jail for liquor violation. Armed with a search warrant it issued by State's Attorney, A. H. Pouse, Sheriff Edinger and three deputies visited the Freund farm last Thursday morning and after a thoco search of the premises they returnsd to Woodstock with a still, a quantity of moonshine whiskey and a large number of pint and one-half pint whit* k^y^bottles. the arrival of the sheriff and tiv irepttties Mr. Freund first denied having any liquor but after the search and finding of the evidence, he Is said to have admitted his guilt of making and selling moonshine. \ He was brought into the McHenay county court the following morning, Friday, when he pleaded guilty to six counts charged against him. He refused the offer of the court to provide him with an attorney. The court, after the presentation of evidence, assessed a fine of $450 each on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth counts with an additional $200 on the count of having possession with intent. Going back to the second count the codrt sentenced the defendant to six months confinement in the county jail. started his jail sentence that day. According to our information eoji • plaints had been registered against Mr. Freund to the state's attorney*^ office. Freund, it is said, had been selling liquor for some time past and that he had been supplying some of the cers who visit the various dance thruout this section. He is a man of a family and, according to those who appear to koaW his circumstances, is unable to pay t|p fine imposed. Weinschenker Case Set For Tnesdajf The case of Fred Weinschenker «£ this city, whose warehouse located near the Northwestern station, just west of the railroad tracks, was raided here a short time ago by Sheriff Edinger's "sponge squad," has been SSft for hearing on Tuesday, May 19. It will be heard by Judge Barnes. The McHenry man entered a plea of "not guilty" when brought befcC* Judge Barnes last Saturday morning. The information contained six counts. On their visit to the Weinschenkasr warehouse the raiders found a five gallon jug partly filled with alcohol which the defendant claims was for his own use and not to be sold. Samples of bottled near beer were also confiscated and since then have been sent to tin laboratories of the state pure food department in Chicago where same hsff* been tested as to their alcoholic cos- He has retained Atty.

Andrew Eddy, her daughterin- law, Mrs. Lloyd Eddy, and the latter's daughters figured in an automobile accident at the foot of Doherty's hill, on the Terra Cotta road, about six o'clock on Tuesday evening of this week. The accident occurred when Mrs. Andrew Eddy, who was driving a Ford sedan in which the three were riding, lost control of the machine in the sand at the foot of the hill and hisfore she was able to avoid it, the car tipped over. A passing tourist assisted the ladies and brought them to this city where they were taken to the offitS of Dr. A. I. Froehlich.

Quite naturally McHenry is expecting a large number of visitors and summer resorters to visit this community over that particular week end and in justice to these people, the grocers, meat markets, milk dealers and baker would be obliged to keep their places open all morning. This would also hold true to hotels and restaurants.. It was finally decided that those who could possibly arrange to do so to close their places during the exercises while those who remained open to draw their curtains as ». visable sign of respect for all ex-service men, and to the comrades who have passed on.

LAUNDRY RE-OPENS The Modern Laundry in this city has re-opened, after a shut-down of a few months, and from appearances the place is being accorded a good patronage. There is no reason why a laundry in this city should not pay out and we believe that if the work that is now going to out-of-town laundries is left with the home concern, the local enterprise will flourish. The owners of the Modern laundry very much desire to keep their place open the year around and with the proper sort of encouragement this can and will be done. ra% ceived a few cuts and bruises but outside of this suffered no ill effects 4n the result of the mishap.
