Business has been on the increase in McHenry during the past month and it does not require a sage to explain the cause. The observers will notice that McHenry dealers have the goods that are wanted. Never befox-e have such displays of all descriptions been seen here. The pages of The Plaindealer will show who are the live merchants and who are doing business. They are advertising trnthfnllv and it is these adrf which attract the attention of the people. Anewspapev filled with good live ads speaks well for a town ana when the dealers haye the merchandise to back up their advertisements the trade is bound to come. A large number of farmers were in town Saturday who have not been here before for trading purposes in years The Plaindealer still claims that McHenry merchants offer better inducements than depart­ ment stores or mail order houses a#d can prove it. DEADLOCK IN VILLAGE BOARD. West Pnndee is Having an Interest Inr Fight. West Dundee has a village board, but it is not able to hold a meeting as the result of the excellent seryices of a re cent evangelist in that town. It should not be inferred that the minister has interfered with the gavel of the president or gotten out an injunction restraining the members from holding a session. But it did happen during the recent re­ vival meetings held in the northern suburb that the president had a change of heart on the proposition of a saloon for Wt-st Dundee. When the election was held this spring, the advocates of a saloon license for Ike Montague on the west side of the river voted for the present president of the board on the understanding that he was in favor of the license. There are six members. Three of the men fa­ vor the license and the others are as hotly opposed to the destruction of ffitt present temperance sentiment on the west side of the riyer by the establifiUJ ment of a drink shop. In order to pre­ vent a quorum, the anti-license men staid away from the meetings of the board while the others tried every means to secure a voting majority. This was the case for several weeks whea the evangelist came to town. The president heard him, had a change of heart and is now opposed to a saloon license Now the anti-license men are seeking a meeting of the board, and the pros stay away so as not to have a quorum present. Several times the president ha#i tried every means in his power to seenre enough members to transact business, but has been unsuccessful. There seems to be no immediate pros­ pect of a break in the deadlock. PISTAKEE AND THE FOX. GLORIOUS FOURTH OB JULY! Grand Rnith to Bewrt* Foliowp this Clon­ ing of School*.

Simon Stoffel has sent in his resigna­ tion as postmaster of the West McHen­ ry office and will soon be relieved of the chWge. He has uo time to devote to the ousiness of the office himself, and his brother, John Stoffel, who has been acting as assistant, desires other em­ ployment. Just what he wili take up he has not fully decided. The latter has made an efficient and accommodat­ ing official and has discharged the duties of the office with the best of satisfaction to his superiors and the patrons. He is well versed in postal laws. H. C. Mead has sent in to the depart­ ment a well-filled yetition for the office and without a doubt he will be the next West McHenry postmaster. Shearer Acquitted. Th«) jury in the case of Theodore Shearer, the young man who was on trial in the circuit court last week for larceny, brought in the verdict of ac­ quittal. Shearer was defended by At­ torneys C. P. Barnes, of Woodstock, and C. H. Wayne, of Elgin. State's At­ torney Lowell was assisted by Attorney Russell, of Elgin. Shearer was accused of taking a large amount of money from Cook Bros.'bank at Huntley, while be was in their einyloy. He is now work­ ing in the typewriter factory at Wood­ stock. Hebron Tribune. Pilcher and " Never before in the history lage have such elaborate been made for a fourth of July tion in McHenry. Never before has money been raised so easily and never before have the people taken so much interest. It will be a record-breaker without a doubt. At sunrise there will be a grand sa­ lute of big gunp, little gnns, common crackers and toy pistols and it's a cinch that no one. sleeps after four o'clock. We are in for it and will make it a suc­ cess from early morning until late at night. The small boy with his weapons will keep things lively until the parade starts at half past nine. And, say, th& parade will be a hummer if all thos<J \yho promised the committee will join in, and they surely will. The parade will form at the river bridge, headed by the McHenry band and the line of march will be two miles long--from the bridge to the depot to meet the 10:10 train and the park. Besides the laugh- iane there will be a large oats, and some of ie commit- been promnMH Ifthe crowning At the park an otic program will be giveiW^BJexcel- lent chorus of eighteen or twenty voices is practicing for the occasion, the band will play, there will be a few vocal so­ los and duets and everything that goes to make up an entertaining program. And Wm. Lorimer, the "blonde boss," or, in other words, the man whom oth­ ers can not boss, will address the audi­ ence. Mr. Lorimer has been unjustly rid­ iculed and derided by the Chicago press and has been caricatured as a bloated, ward-heeling politician and trickster. Come and see the man and hear him speak. In one hour he will convince any audience that he is not what his en­ emies claim. He is not only a clean man, but a good orator. His vvprds are forceful and be never fails to please an audience. Do not fail to hear Mr. Lori­ mer. The committee could not have chosen a better man for the occasion. ^Potato race. Wheel barrow raoct Three legged race Svithiod Singing Club 1Chicago, Jane 88, 1908.

The more contest­ ants the more sport. There will be plenty of other amuse­ ments during the afternoon, but the shell game will not be allowed and no gold brick men will be tolerated. It will be a good clean celebration from start tf> fiuish. Every merchant should arise at an early hour and decorate his place of business in a fitting manner, and it would not be a bad idea if private dwellings were treated likewise. Let us arouse all the enthusiasm possible and give visitors a rousing reception. We can do it. In the evening a grand pyrotechni cal display will take place near the pow­ er house. The committee has invested a large sum of money in fireworks and guarantee to hold up that part of the program. Farmers should bear in mind that McHenry has a beautiful park and other shady nooks where the family pic cs can lie held. No town was ever adapted for the purpose.

The political pot is already beginning to boil. The names of various gentle­ men are being mentioned in connection with the gubernatorial nomination and some candidates for the minor state of­ fices are being groomed. At present those mentioned in connection with the Republican nomination for governor in 1904 are Governor Richard Yates, pres­ ent incumbent of the office; Judge H. J. Hamlin, attorney general; James A. Rose, secretary of state; Chas. S. Da- neen, state's attorney of Cook county; Yesposian Warner, congressman from the nineteenth district, and Frank O. Lowdeu, of Cook and Ogle counties. All these gentlemen are prominent in the councils of the party and any one of them would make a good guberna­ torial candidate, and whichever one se­ cures the nomination will be reasonably certain of becoming the next governor of Illinois, Neither of the gentlemen has as yet announced his candidacy, but it is safe to assume that each one mentioned will, before the snow flies, be an active and aggressive candidate for the position. Daniel J. Hogan of Mound City aud M. A. Williamson of Galesburg want to t>e secretary of state. Judge C. J. Lindsay of Greenville and Representative Trautmau of East St. Louis want to be treasurer. J- S. Mc- Cullough of Champaign county, the Eresent incumbent, wants to succeed imself as state auditor. W. H. Stead and B. M. Chipperfield of Fulton coun­ ty are aspirants for nomination as at­ torney general.
