TEE OPPORTUNE MOMENT. . „ The time has arrived when this village .; i§an secure electric lights. The appoint- /v;Jjnent of a committee by the village board to investigate the question opens the way lor this much-needed public improve- ' fnent. V . ::-i No doubt the committee will search flilligently for facts bearing on electric ights. And no doubt the gentlemen l^hoee duty it is to make the investiga­ tion will appear at the next conncil meeting with a good report which will in­ dicate the price of an electric lijrhfc plant. Then the village board will be enabled to act intelligently. But the village board will be powerless to act without the hearty co-operation of the citizens of this town. This co- joperation should be almost unanimous --A-^on the part of our people. As all concede ^ a va8^ amount of good vrould ac- ,, .^fierneto our village by tbe introduction of felectric lights, the support which our cit­ izens should give such an enterprise fI:p2i|#hould be enthusiastic. No half-hearted •spirit should be manifested. Thecitizens our village should come forward in ^support of electric lights, with emphatic ^declarations. While the committee are engaged in posting themselves on tbe probable cost of an electric light plant, the citizens should not be idle, but should each con­ sider tbe subject independently for him­ self. Then, when the proper time comes, each citizen will be prepared to state to the village board just how much patron uge be is able to accord to the proposed enterprise. The village board has commenced pav­ ing the way for the establishing of dec trie lights in the village of McHenry. Now let tbe citizens of the town fall in line to the end that we may secure the coveted enterprise. IflTThe Michigan state board of health has taken an important step in sanitary science by placing the disease of consump­ tion on tbe list of dangerous and com­ municable diseases, the same as diph­ theria and small-pox, and requiring a report of cases to be made to the, board by local boards of health. 19* According to an old tradition, sil­ ver was flrstfused as a coin in Great Brit­ ain 1900 years ago. A mint is said to have been established at Colchester, in the county of E*sex, England, by one of the native kings during the reign of tbe Emperor Augustus and gold, brass and silver coins to a small extent were issued therefrom. IV Galena has furnished more distin­ guished men than an.v other town in the state. It was the home of Grant and Washburne and Rawlins. .Tames W. Sto't, editor of the Chicago Herald, and H. H.

"*g| iVThe readers will notic#"tinj|f Hfsb& are in these colu mns no pictures of healthy roosters, no pictures of sick roosters, and no pictures of crows. There are no pictures indicating either joy or sorrow over tbe results of the recent elections. This is due to the fact that the PLAIN- DEALER is an independent paper in tbe strictest sense of tbe term. Being the only independent newspaper in the coun­ ty, the PLAINDEALER watches with amusement the actions of its contempo­ raries. Neither intoxicated with joy over the victory of one party, nor whipp­ ed into silence by the defeat of another, it retains its equilibrium. •^Comparatively few understand why a person in charge of an estate is called an administrator in one case and execu­ tor in another, although their duties are comparatively the same. An executor is named in the will to administer tbe es­ tate. An executrix is a female. If there is no will, the female who closes tbe es­ tate is called tbe administratrix. If the person named in the will as an executor refuses to serve, the court appoints another person and he is styled the ad­ ministrator with the will annexed. If a person iu charge ot an estate dies or de­ faults and is removed bis successor is called an administrator, de bonus noit, or an administrator of the remaining assets. EDITOR PLAINDRALBB --The press is the most potent medium by which pub­ lic opinion is moulded. TM» ta true, not only of oar great cosmopolitan dailies, but also of the little 4x8 sheets in some of oar western towns. Just as far as Its circulation extends will tba iaiuence of the press be felt, and this either for weal or woe to the body politic. Let any of our Chicago papers foster a new scheme that has the air of advancing public comfort about it and soon you will see tbe public marshal to its support and the "new scheme" that had the semblance of im­ possibility about it soon becomes an ac­ complished fact. But on the other band let the press express itself as being satis­ fied with the present condition of things, or in other words let jt become conserva­ tive in all of its opinions and see how quickly public stagnation follows, and stagnation leads to death in material things as well j&aphysical. We are gUid to see that the editor of the PLAINDEALER is up to the times and fully appreciates the importance of bis position as a moulder of public opinion. We are also glad to see that he is using his energies in a good cause, that of pub­ lic improvement. The writer of this, like our worthy edi­ tor, is not satisfied with McHenry's present light giving facilities. Three can­ dle power oil lamps were all right when there was nothing better. But we be­ lieve, as does tbe editor of the PLAIN- DEALER, that "electric lights are the lights of the times," and that the time is now come when oil should be consigned to its grave as far as a light giviag me­ dium on public highways is concerned. No public improvement, however badly needed, or how easily acquired, was ever proposed in this or any other commoor wealth without at first meeting with ser­ ious opposition. There are those in every community who are always oppos­ ed to advancment of any kind, but are willing to live and die as did their fathers before them. The cause of this primarily Is a selfish ope, viz , to avoid I an increase in taxes. Rather than pay this Blight increase they will shuffle along, always in the dark, and some night, when two blocks from the nearest lamp post, in which there may be seen a faint glimmer as of a phosphorescent light, will fall into some providence placed mud hole, cranium first, and be lost sight of forever. It is to be hoped that all oppos°rs of public improvement in McHenry have ere this fallen into the aforesaid muddy place so that none will be found to oppose tbe electric light plap. I We will enter into no exhaustive argu roents as to the need of lights, for a] those who. either for business or plei ure, are called upon our streets at nig will acknowledge tbe need without tbe force of argument. We will then concede two facte: First, we need electric ligits. Second, tbe people want them and are willing to pay the price. How then shall we procure them? As our editor has said in his editorial of Nov. 8, the initiative step must be taken by t£ie village board, at all. As things stand at present they will do nothing, for they will say, and truly, that as yet public opinicfn is not strong enough. Let us all then J who have the best interests of McHenry at heart, help to form this waiting public opinion. What we advise is that the editor of the PLAINDBALER take it upon himself to call a meeting of the citizens of McHenry, naming time and place, and himself act­ ing as temporary chairman of meeting. This suggestion is onbr a little farther in advance of the one offered by the editor in last week's edition. There is no time like the present for doing things, so we advise the meeting be called at once, that this and other questions may be taken under considera- A SUBSCRIBER.

W ' M^The Illinois Central Railroad did the lion's share of carrying passengers to the World's Fair from Chicago. From a report just issued, we find that the Cen­ tral earned on its special World's Fair trains during the six months from May to October inclusive 8,779,398 passen­ gers. On its suburban trains it carried 9,559,791 during the same periqd. This latter number of course includes regular suburbanites, but probably 4,000,o00 of these went to Jackson Park. Thethrough trains on this same railroad for the same period carried 1,003,600 passengers, making a tremendous aggregate of 19,- 342,784. Taking from this the 5,000,- 000 for regular suburban travel, and it stMl leaves more than 14,000,000 pas­ sengers. During the six months of the Exposition 40,116 special World's Fair trains, consisting of 368,733 cars were run, and there was never & day when this special branch of their service was taxed to its utmost limit. Even when on Chi­ cago day 241,843 passengers were car­ ried, more could have been taken if necessary.
