Miss Clara and Julfa Stoffel went James Welch, Jr., of Fox Lake, met with a slight accident last Saturday, July 30, from the effects of which he died. Mr. Welch was unloading hay in the barn, and in some manner a rope slipped through his hands, a small wire which bound the end of the rope scratching his finger. As is usual in cases of such slight accidents nothing was thought of it, and it gave him no trouble at the time. On the day following there ap­ peared uo signs of poisoning, but on Mon­ day his hand and arm began to swell, causing excruciating pain. From that time, in spite of all the efforts of three doctors, the pain became more unbear­ able, the poison getting through his en- tijje system. All that loving care and professional skill could do was done for him, but at three o'clock, Monday mora ing, July 29, he gave up the struggle and parsed away. . James Welch, Jr., was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Welch,* and had lived on the home farm at Fox Lake almost continually during the thirty-six years of his life. His parents deserve the sympathy of all, for he was their main­ stay, and practically attended to all the business of the farm. A man of exem­ plary habits, he was loved by all who came in contact with him. He was a first cousin to John, M. J. and T. P. Walsh, of this village. The funeral was held at St. Patrick's church yesterday and was attended by a large concourse of people. ' ; THE FOX RIVER QUESTION DIFFERENCES IN OPINION CAUSE A CLASH. MAY LETTER FROM OKLAHOMA.

And on the other hand such reliance and confidence as the bishop was able to express toward his sup­ porters is rarely found. Among other toasts proposed L. E. Santer, district knight of the order spoke as follows: "Onr gue^t possesses the love, loyalty and devotion of every knight in this archidocese. The old barriers between Catholics and Protes­ tants are gradually disappearing. In this grand movement you, our "bishop, are leading. Only call on us to help and we will respond to the fullest of our powers. When he was seated the guests called again and again for Father Dore, and the priest responded by singing a song that everyone thought fully fitted the occasion. It was "You Cannot Keep a Good Man Down." Father Muldoon, in answering, said: "I do not take it that you are ̂ honoring me in this gathering, but rather the great loving archbishop of this diocese, whose orders I will obey. I thank God I am a priest, for the highest and noblest work of man is the bringing of souls to God. We may talk of arbitration and other solutions of labor troubles, but there will never be a remedy 'till the teaching of Jesus, that one man is as good as another, is recognized. "The power of our church in Chicago is great. Easily one-third of the citizens are Catholics. We bind all nationalities together. Sixty thousand children are taught in our schools without the sup port of the city. In our work you lay men can accomplish great things. 1 rely on your steady, unfailuig, loving support Good Work. Mrs. Geo. Schreiner's house is about completed and to say the least she is pleased with the work that has been done. She imforms the writer that the carpenter work, done by Peter J. Freund, can not be praised to much, everything being of the best, even to the minute details. The painting and oiling by Qex>. Curtis, the plastering and cementing by Will and Frank Thuil- well and the wall decorating by John Neiss is all excellent work of its kind and the workmen are entitled to all the praise Jhat Mrs. Schreiner gives them. It is not often that a person moves into a new house without something being wrong. | - . r • Aaraoal InstltntOn The McHenry County Teachers IflStt- tute will be held at Woodstock, August 19-23. Joseph Carter, of Champaign, W. C. Smith, of Nunda, and Edna Keith, of Joliet, have been secured as instructors. Edwin Earle Sparks, University of Chicago, and Dr. J. B. Robinson of He­ bron, have been secured as lecturers. First session begins Mondav, August 18, at 10:80 o'clock, in the Woodstock High School Building. If you are to teach in McHenry County, you are expected to be present at the first session and remain until the close of the Insti­ tute. School officers and all interested in our public schools are invited to attend. •" Respectfully, W. E. Wi Shall the Fox X^ake Country Be Drained, or Will a Dam Be Pat In Below this Village? For several years the summer resi­ dents of the Fox Lake and Pistakee re­ gions have been endeavoring to throw a dam across the Fox River at this place. This would undoubtedly make a great improvement at the lakes by raising the wattrs there, and the benefit it would be to McHenry could not be questioned If the river could be navigated by the steamers that ply on the lakes, hun­ dreds of people would pass thror^jjk here on their way to the resorts instead of taking the new Milwaukee road. Not only this, but just as sure as the waters are raised it will only be a matter of a few years when the banks of the Fox River will be dotted with cottages from McHenry to the Bay. The price of all lands along the course would increase in value, and the farmers would thereby get a benefit Hon. Win. Lorimer is using all his influence in this direction and is being assisted by other influential men at the lakes. It is stated that the farmers who lose land by inundation would be reimbursed for all damages. McHenry people should interest them­ selves in this matter at once. To avoid trouble and ill feelings in the matter, the lake people, citizens of this village and farmers who have land adjoining the river should hold a mass meeting and talk over the matter. In this man­ ner proper resolutions could be passed and those having the matter in charge would have something tangible to work on. The cities and towns below McHenry (more particularly Aurora) are passing resolutions to have the river deepened to the lakes in order to increase the flow of water. This plan would seem feasi­ ble at first thought, but such a proposi­ tion should have been considered more fully. For a short time the lakes would feed the river to its utmost capacity, and then what? The lakes would be lowered, people would leave for other resorts and the river would again be a sluggish stream. Action should be taken immediately, and, as stated before, the most plausible plan would be to let all interested have something to say in regard to ttw mat­ ter. GENERAL COUNTY At Camp Lincoln.

Dear Mother:--Will drop you a line and let you know where we are. I wrote you a letter at Jacksonville, Ills., and we got on the train and came right through to El Reno, Okl., a jump of six hundred and fifty-seven miles. We went through Kansas City, but were there onlv three hours. There were nineteen of us came from Jacksonville. Of course you know by reading the pa­ pers that this is one of the two places that you have to register aton the draw­ ing for the new land that opens up on the 6th of . August. Clint and I have both taken out papers and will have a chance. About one in thirteen will draw a piece of land, but there will be a lot of new towns start up and we may locate in one of them.- We got here last Friday, a week ago tomorrow, and got into a hotel. If we had not been early we would have to sleep out on the gnw»H like thousands of others, bnt I guess that is about as good as the place we are in, and yon can go out any where and see men and women sleeping on the grass by the roadside or in the park. ]l have not been to the post office once since I have been here, as there is a line a block long from morning 'till night waiting to get their mail and you would have to wait in line from three to four hours. There has been over fifty thous­ and registered so far and mostly at this office, and people are coming and going by the thousand every day, so you can guess it is pretty lively. But that isj what we are used to and the crowd can't get too big for us. There are plenty of Kansas City people here that we know, and Bert Newell, who used to live at Stockton, Kas., and was in the hard­ ware business there is here and has a large department store. He has been here eleven years. Also some others from out in Osborne Co. that we used to know. The letter that you wrote us to Hannibal, Mo., was forwarded to us here. The dust was about two inches thick but it rained this afternoon and now is muddy, but will be all right by tomorrow. It will be tough on the people tonight who have to sleep out ^ Bert and Clint INFORMATION GATHCHED VARIOUS sonnets. FROM in thair gome of the Happening* in Condensed Form for Exchange Gleanings.

It is reported that certain parties down the river are using dynamite to kill the fish and also are seining to a considerable extent If this be true, those parties must know that it is un­ lawful and that they are subjecting themselves to prosecution. The law fixes the fine for each offence at not less than twenty-five dollars or more than two hundred dollars. Not only is it un­ lawful, but it is likewise unfair to those anglers who h*ave invested money along the river for the sole purpose of enjoy­ ing the sport of legitimate fishing dur­ ing the summer months. The game warden should deal summarily with any person who is caught in the amiting or seining. Surprised. : ""s' Mrs. Anna Freund was greatly sur­ prised last Friday evening when all of her children and grandchildren gave her an unexpected call at her home in Johnsburgh.

There will, however, always be a few stalks spring up every year des­ pite the precautions, and if they happen to grow on private land, it is the owner's duty, according to law, to des- stroy them. If they are found along the road, the highway commissioners are held responsible. These thistles, like all noxious weeds, if allowed to go to seed spread rapidly, hence one plant dug up now would save digging up hundreds of them next season. The law fixes a fine of from ten to one hundred dollars for allowing Canda thistles to grow after being notified by the commissioner Additional Locals.
