For that office two good men, Jss. B. Perry and Simon Stoffel, . ore candidates. Just what the outcome will be no one is prepared to prophesy, ,4k*botb are popular and htve a good following. The Democratic caucus will be. called at four o'clock m the afternoon. This is the first time in some year^ that party lines have been drawn in town- ship affairs in McHenry, and it assures more genuine excite4*"' At on election day, which hereto* ..o has been merely a matter of form and compliance with the law, there seldom being an indeb, pendent candidate. Even with tickets III the field representing the tWo polit- , leal parties one can come to no definite conclusion, after the election, regarding; the relative strength of the Democrats Juki Republicans in the township. As a rule in township elections citizens C^aat their vote for the man of their ^fejoice without regard to political faith, tbere being no issue at stake. &r:% If the Democrats have made out a a)*te they are keeping the matter quiet, fair we have heard of no candidates for /lamination. •. k^* The Village Caucus. -.The village caucus has been catted , for Saturday, March 28, at which time three trustees, mayor, police magistrate and village clerk will be nominated. At this writing there are no avowed . candidates for the offices of mayor and 'trustees, but it is taken for granted that _ H. M. McOmber will again be a candi­ date- for police magistrate and John Stoffel for clerk. If they have no in- . tention of entering the caucus we can .Jpsily take back the above words. ' . Jn the selection of candidates for mayor and trustees the citizens of Mc- Hfenry should put f xth their best efforts In putting up men whom they think are qualified for the position. No mat­ ter how carefully chosen, no body of 'aldermen can please everyone, but if / every voter makes an effort to put the man of his particular choice in office, liip conscience will be clear in having done all that could be done. On the /other hand if a voter is indifferent and stays away from the polls when his vote .... ieueeded, he should be the last to tick * if the administration of the village af- * fairs does not suit him, and w» are a little inclined to belieye that such has fcgen the case in many instances. * Nature has done much for McHenry. $)iere is not a town in the state more beautifully and advautageously situat­ ed and there is no reason why harmony and good feeling should not prevail. In no other way can it grow and pros­ per. Let us all get together, no matter wfaat our political belief, nationality, qCcupation, or position and work for 'the one important thing--the .good of McHenry. k The caucus is week in ad- Vance of the fifteen (tity limit prescribed |>y law, thus giving any person who wishes to becoine an independent candi­ date ample time in which to circulate a ' ..petition. * ' Stuck In the Mud. ^. -- •sThe rains during th^ .past few days ,, k&ve done much toward improving the ^ condition of the roads, but thev are yet jln bad condition in places.

Last Saturday was a good day for ducks and many flocks, as large as the one pictured in The Plaindealer last week, were sighted at the lakes. Eye witnesses state that at one time during the day the water was covered with them in places. Of course such an an­ nouncement don't do a thing but make sportsmen hunt up their gunning par­ aphernalia and prepare for the pray. Many came out from Chicago Saturday evening and these together with local enthusiasts made quite an army. But the ducks were not so plentiful Sunday owing to the sudden cold wave. A large number were Bagged however, abd those who failed" in securing game got the exercise and excitement. It is always exciting to be cramped up in a blind for a few hours and wait for the birds which do not) appear. Especially is this true when the weather is cold and damp and the chills ha^e a tendency to chase up and down the hunter's back. But, then, its all ty .the gan^ and we enjoy it. . ; ; : ' • -tv-v: 1FREE SEED COR|f:^&^'& CONGRESS ADJOURNS WITHOUT ACTING ON AMENDMENT.

Illegal Dnok Shooting. ' * It has been brought to our notice that some person or persons were shooting ducks or geese contrary to law last Fri­ day night.

A certain citizen of this village has offered to contribute $5.00 to a fund for the prosecution of the offend­ er. The hunting law is very lenient as it is and the fact should be appreciated.

Mich., for four years pastor of the Universalist church at Sycamore, has severed his connection with the church and ministry as well, and will go at work soliciting life in­ surance.

Without Which the- Fox River Navigable Waterway Association can not Act--Mat­ ter la not Settled. * (From the Wilmot Agitator.)' ' 'The 57th Congress adjourned without extending any new privileges' to the Fox River Improvement Association. An amendment had been introduced al­ lowing the building of the dam nearer McHenry than the old permit allowed. It had been referred to the proper com­ mittee and was already to be voted on by the law makers. "All of the Congressmen from Illinois and others situated to have influence had received communications from the land owners' committee. All of these men knew what the amendment meant. It is not Mr. Lorimer's way to do things with a hurrah and a flourish. The "Fox River Improvement Association" was incorporated in the names of his office clerk and stenographer and one other unknown. This last legislation, al­ though it related to matters in which he was not concerned, situated 75 miles away from his district, was introduced by Congressman Reeves. All of the Ill­ inois Congressmen, with tue possible exception of Foss, were disinclined to take an active interest in opposing this project. They knew Lorimer was be­ hindhand they would relish a tilt with him just about as much as a pussy cat would like to shy up against a Royal Bengal tiger. "Congressman Cooper of this dis­ trict, however, came grandly to the front. Lorimer had no terrors for him and he stood prepared to question the serene boss concerning the incorporat ors and character of the company if the matter came up. But Lorimer scented the danger. He could not do. the busi­ ness oQ -tto qaiet'lio fie coocludod to wait. • - "Mr. Cooper had been in correspond ence with the local committee for some time and expressed the opinion that £he matter would not come up at this time as the River and harbor bill had been disposed of. Lorimer, however, Contrived to have his amendment tacked on to the Inter-state commerce act, taking the navigation feature as an excuse for doing so. When this move was made Congressman Cooper tele­ graphed for a representation so in the' event of necessity he could have wit­ nesses as to the incorporators of the company. "Walter Carey of Wilmot, Frank Hatch of English Prairie and Mr. Arm strong of Chicago went to Washington in response, Mr. Armstrong represent­ ed the interests south of McHenry, which are opposed to-the dam. "Under the circumstances the three could do little, but they made the most of the trip, acting as spectators to the closing days of Congress and visiting the Supreme court, the National Ceme­ tery at Arlington and other points of interest" According to the above there will be no McHenry dam this summer, but it does not signify that the matter is set tied, and it probably never will be un til the courts make a decision. Even after the Amendment is passed by con­ gress and work on the dam is under way those opposed .to it will Btop pro­ ceedings by injunction. It would seem advisable to let the matter come to a head and have the question settled for all time. As it now stands the tarmers above McHenry are uneasy, the proper­ ty owners below are backward about making improvements, people at the lakes do not care to construct perma­ nent piers and boat houses on an un­ certain beach, while tne citizens of Mc­ Henry would like to know what the shore line is going to be. If there is to be no dam we would like to know it and if the Association intends to push the project to the limit we are anxious that they should test their strength at once. ' •' _ New Arrivals.

A.8ee» sions, of 998 Kelly street, was the scene of a very pretty wedding Tuesday, March 8, at high noon, when their daughter, Florence Eugenia, was united in marriage with Mr. George W. Howe. The parlor was decorated in green and white. In the bay window a leafy bower of sinilax, palms and white car­ nations was arranged, within which the bridal party stood during the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. EL L. House, of the First Congregational Church. The bride wore a dainty gown of white silk organdie over taffeta, and carried a boquet of bride rOses. She was attended by Miss Bessie K. Lucky, who was attired in cream albatross and carried cream rosea Mr. Will Howe, brother of the groom, was best man. The ring was carried by Master Herbert F. Sessions in the cup of an Easter lily, Two little girls, Emily Baxter and Gladys Dunn, who looked very winsome in their dainty gowns of white, carried the white satin ribbons that formed a pathway for the bridal party. Miss Ethel Durham played the wedding march from Lohengrin. Only immed­ iate relatives and friends were present to witness the ceremony, after which a wedding breakfast was served. The happy couple were the recipients of many beautiful gifts from here and in the East. They left on the evening train for San Francisoo, Los Angeles and other points of interest in Califor­ nia.

The con­ tracts name the regular price to be paid each month for the milk delivered by dairymen. A review of the schedule of prices to be paid indicates that producers are to receive fiye cents more per hundred than was given last year for the same period.

When the case of the people of the State of Illinois versus Jos. Michels, Stephen Smith and Mrs. Buchuer was called in Justice Mead's court Tuesday morning, the careful observer and student of human nature could guess that something was wrong with Mr, Barnes. Before enter­ ing the court room he had sized up the atmospheric conditions, heard the quack of ducks and shot gun reports in the distance and well knew that there was something doing up the riyer. Now, naturally, to one of Barnes' tempera­ ment, that court room appeared like a cage and he resolved to get out.

Bpokland'a Rjasldenfrp 4arj Did Not Make Law. We received a letter this week from a valued subscriber in which he takes exceptions to the article puplished last week in regard to the law suit The author of the letter probably thinks he is in the right, but he is too far away to know all the details of the case, al­ though we stated the facts just as they were brought out in court The jury did not make the law which governed them nor could they break it, nor do we believe that they willfully shielded the defendant. They were sworn to be governed entirely by the evidence. It iB one thing to know without the shad­ ow of a doubt that a man is guilty of selling liquor illicitly, but it is another thing to prove each particular offense, which the red tape of law demands. We did not explain the law to shield the jury, but rather to enlighten those who did not know of its peculiarities.

Corn and other provender is correspond­ ingly higher and stock raisers who are compelled to feed their cattle find the cost of maintenance largely increased. Another source of trouble to the milk producer is his inability to secure hired help.
