Owing to the Thanksgiving festivities which will take up considerable time, the T.

The approaching coronation in Eng­ land is only vaguely understood in this country. The mediaeval ceremonies have never yet been described in full. In the Chrismas Lippincott's Magazine this is done with ample learning and a sense of the historic significance of the event, by Mrs. Belloc-Lowndes, author of the "Life of King Edward VIL," whose description of English life and mannera have been widely read. ^ Israel Zangwill has earned a reputa­ tion as a cynic and it is particularly in­ teresting to see his genuine enthusiasm come out at the call of a great cause. In Leslie's Popular monthly for December, he has a remarkable article on the future of the Jews. The great Zionist move­ ment for the redemption of Palestine, he discusses with trenchant criticism, yet with a literal minded, Irank patriotism that a few of his admirers would sus­ pect to find in him.

On Friday a drizzling rain fell all day and continued during the evening, but nevertheless a good sized crowd was in attendance to hear the program and enjoy the festivities. Al­ though Saturday evening was gloomy, the weather threatening and the roads very muddy, the hall was filled to the doors. -Nearly every article ' In the booths was sold and maiiy people par­ took of the luach that was served. The boothe were very prettily decorated, and everything was tastily arranged. The program on both evening was the best that has been given in McHenry for many moons. Every number was nicely rendered and in nearly every in­ stance an encore was forthcoming. Taking all things into consideration the bazaar was a decided success and the ladies feel jubilant over the result. BAZAAR NOTES. The male quartette waa called back twice. 4 The ice cream waa all sold out long before the people commenced "to leave the hall. The ladies feel very grateful for the liberable notice given in The Daily Fair Bulletin." The old lady with the grab-hag wan a striking feature and created consider­ able amusement. At the auction sale IS. C. Joslyn bought an elegant sofa pillow. Urease don't be too inquisitive. On Saturday evening every church in town was represented, showing the friendly feeling that exists between the different denominations. The autograph quilt made by the members of the Y. P. C. U.» was pre­ sented to Miss Julia A- Story by that society as a token of their esteem. The rummage sale attracted consider* able attoution and many articles were disposed of at nominal prices, a sewing machine in good repair going for three dollars. Miss Rosa Justen, as piano accom­ panist, did herself proud. It is needless to say that she is an accomplished musician, for we have mentioned it many times in the past. Mrs. Walsh was fortunate in securing her services. The only one to grieve over the affair is the writer. He was billed to warble a solo, but owing to a severe oold was compelled to give up the idea. But rather than lose the chance of appear­ ing before the people he decided to play a solo on his baritone horn. The fates were against him again, the piano be­ ing so badly out of tune that the really beauti£ul tone from the horn sounded like a feline serenade on a moonlight night.

Jacob Adams, who left McHenry some weeks ago, has been victimized by clever confidence men in Germany, word having been received from him last week. It seems that shortly after landing in Germany he made the ac­ quaintance of twervery sociable fellows and in their presence cashed a check for about |800. All three boarded the train and became more friendly as the cars passed through the country. One of the "friends" remarked that he had never seen a piece of money of large denomination and expressed a desire to look a| the piece owned by Mr. Adams. The envelope containing the money was passed to the man, and after it had ueeii 6JUHmned,by both of the sew friends was handed back to. Adams. The latter did not look into the envelope at the time he placed it in his pocket, nor did he have occassion to until the "con" men had departed. When -he did look the money was missing. Mr. Adams has about eighty dollars left which will last some time in Germany, and enough experience to last a whole life-time in any part of the worlcl Will Close Out Clothing. Simon Stoffel has decided to go out of the ready-made clothing business and has this week inaugurated a grand clearing sale* Mr. Stoffel assures us that this is no bluff, but tbat he actual­ ly intends to sell every piece of clothing he has in stock, including everything except fur ccats.at a discount of twenty per cent. Such a discount means that the clothing goes at cost. In these days no two men wish their clothes to be of the same pattern, and Mr. Stoffel gives this as his reason for going ont of the business, it being impossible to crrry a line large enough to meet the demands.

It la Rumored That a Syndicate Wltl.be Formed and Put In Klectrtc Una From McHenry to Pistakee Hay. It is rumored that a party of capital­ ists are considering the plan of forming a syndicate and establishing an electric line between McHenry and Pistakee Bay, via of Johnsburgh, and also to connect with Yolo oprt WfUTconda The McHenry would derive from such a scheme oan not be overestimated. It would experience a boom such as has never been seen this side of the Missis­ sippi. It would regain nearly all the business lost since the new Milwaukee road opened up, and more with it It would gain trade from Wauconda, Volo and th& latres. Now that a dam across the'river at this place is almost an as­ sured fact, ste imboats will soon be run­ ning, drawing many more pleasure seekers. But not only would it attract pleasure seekers. With the advertising that would naturally bo given the town, together with the fact oi the water- power afforded and the short distance from Chicago, certain manufacturing industries must certainly look this way. The syndicate also purposes to light the town with electricity if a franchise can be secure<}. It would be far better if the captalists and business men of McHenry could control such an enterprise, and it would behoovd them to make some move in the matter. The electric road is bound to go in sooner or later, and if it is owned by McHenry people, so much the better for the town. Pistakee Bay is growing more popular every season, If the business men of McHenry stand with their hands folded and do nothing to hold what they now have or to gain more, just as sure as the Bun rises in the east a town, will spring up in the neighborhood of Nippersink or at some point near the lakes, on the new road, which would souud the death knell of McHenry. Do not wait for the deliberations of a proposed syndicate, bnt act now. Agi­ tate the question, form a business men's club and stick together like two sheets of tanglefoot fly paper. In union there is strength. Stand for the advance­ ment of the business interests of Mc­ Henry and relegate petty jealousies to the rear. : - We Should be Tbankfat>< \ . For the low price ot turkeys.

On Tuesday at the home of the bride's parents, in Chicago, occured the mar­ riage or Mr. Peter Bishop and Miss Amelia Goetsohe. This marriage comes as somewhat of a surprise to Mr. Bishop's many friends. Of course people were aware that he has been making frequent and prolonged visits at Chicago during the past year, but he had not intimated the real at­ traction until recently. The bride is highly respected in the community in which she resides, being endowed with all the requirements that make a good housewife. The groom has always resided in Mo- Henry and is well known to everyone. They arrived in McHenry Wednesday evening, and will make their home here. The Plaindealer extends congratula­ tions. • .

When the mem­ bers of that church undertake to do anything of that kind it usually means that success will crown their efforts. The secret of the whole matter being that they work in unison. Nearly every night the hail wa*> packed with people, all out for a good time 'with plenty of the where-with-all in their pookete to keep things moving. The wheel of fortune s seined to be A great attraction, many sheckefc being taken in for tbe cause through this source. A good business was done at the stand where soft drinks and cigars were sold, and the young ladies in charge of the candy booth were kept constantly on the jump. The ladies who had charge of the dining room are happy over the outcome of their efforts. Many a hungry person was fed during the six days^fthe fair, making it a good source of revenue. The turkey raffle on Tuesday night drew out a large number of people anxious to secure a cheap turkey. The fowls melted away like snow falling on a red hot stove, so eager were the people to speculate. Some secured their Thanksgiving dinner for only ten cents, while others spent twenty times that amount and are still looking for their dinner. The card party held by the ladies on Tuesday afternoon was well attended, Miss Julia A. Story winning the prize. The contest for the gold-headed cane promises to become interesting. At the time of going to press honors are about even between the two contestants, Messrs. John Buss and Gottlieb Boley.

Mr. Jones tested the flour and wrote Mr. Reynolds as follows: "I have examined and used the buck­ wheat flour and will say it is giving very good satisfaction.
