Bishop has been making an im­ provement by erecting a substantial awning in front of his warehouse. Those ot our subscribers who have promised us wood will please bring it along, as we are in need of some just now. The Methodist society have com­ menced the erection of a parsonage on their lot east of the church. The cellar has been dug and the foundation laid. We learn that L Morse, of this vil­ lage, met with quite, a severe accident on Monday by falling from a ladder while picking cherries. We notice that the walks along many of our streets are lined with a ttyrifty growth of weeds, which are not Only unsightly to the eye but very unpleas­ ant for pedestrians, especially after a rain. A few minutes' work by each in front of their residence would reuiove this nuisance and much improve the looks of our village. No person who passes the residence of Geo. Schreiner can fail .to notice his handsome flower garden. t It is beauti­ fully arranged in beds, with walks be­ tween, and the variety of flowers are of the choicest to be *eeen in this sec­ tion. The dancing public should not forget the party at the Riverside house, in this village on the 4th. Wightman is spar­ ing no pains to make it pleasant for -al! who attend. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Owen lost their only child, a little fcirl eight months old, on Thusday last. \ <•--v Large Barn Burns. The large barn on the Steve Freund place, on. the Ringwood-Johnsburgh road, was totally destroyed by lire Mon­ day night, the fire starting about seven o'clock. One horse and a considerable amount of clover hay together with other articles usually stored in a barn were destroyed. It is thought that the fire was caused by heated hay which had been put into the barn that day. The loss will be about half cpvered by insurance. Mr. Freund is a cripple, having been prostrated for the past fifteen years, owing to an accident which befell him, causing paralysis. He has the sympa­ thy of everyone in his loss.

E Mentch of Cary is chairman of the board and C, E. Rowley of Nunda and Wm. Desmond of Hartland are mem­ bers. When the board gets into full ac­ tion be prepared to step up on the car­ pet and explain. Harvard Herald: In Wisconsin there is a state law that* gasoline must be in cans painted red and on the cans and other receptacles containing the same the word gasoline must be painted thereon. Failure to comply with this law subjects the dealer to a fine of $50 or imprisonment in the county jail for three months. Wlyle Illinois has no huc1| law ail will conclude that a law of this kind would be a gQod thing. If every person owning a gasoline can would have the same painted red and lettered with the word "gasoline," and the dealer in turn have the cask or tank containing the gasoline similarly paint­ ed and duly inscribed with the word gasoline there would be less danger. It would not be a hard matter to inaugu­ rate a plan of this kind. Perhaps the city council ^onld take it np and by their sanction it would be readily ad hered to.

Mrs. Thomas Bolder an.Karly Settler Here -- Mrs.\:i>arleM ti«ak»Leaye«a family of Nine Children. Phillip Haupris was born in Prussia on the 14th day of March, 1887, and died at his home in this village ou Mon­ day, June 22,' 1!H)3. When twelve years of age he^teanie with his parents to America and located at South Bend, Ind. At that time In­ diana was sparsely settled aud Mr Hau­ pris often spoke of the appearance of >the country at that time. Chicago was composed of only a few buildings. Wnen fourteen yegrs of age he came to McHenry and made this his home con­ tinuously up to the time of his death. In the early days he learned the blacks smith trade and for some years worked at the forge for Richard Bishop. With many other loyal young men in 1861 he joined the afriny and offered his services and his life if need be for the preserva­ tion of his adopted country. On the 27th of October, at St. Peter's church, in Chicago, Phillip Haupris and Miss Rosa Miller were united in the 4ioly bonds of matrimony. Mrs. Hau­ pris died on February 25, . 1901. Mr. and Mrs. Haupris were the parents of live children, who survive, as follows: Mrs. P. Quigley, Wheaton, 111,; Jacob Haupris, Ridgefield, 111.; John, Bay City, Mich.: Mrs. Jos. Schneider, McHenry; Mary, Chicago. About twenty-six years ago Mr. Hau­ pris built a shop of his own (the building now occupied by E. W. Howe as a car penter shop) and continued to work at his trade until eleven years ago, when he retired. During the past four years he had been in poor health and met with an accident last year, which left him in an enfeebled condition. Acute bronchitis was the direct cause of death. There is a sister of the deceased, Mrs. Eckert, living at St. Paul, and a step brother, John Feiton, at South Bend, Ind. (2ARD OP THANKS. We depfre to thank the friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sad hours of our beloved faltar's sickness and after his death. THE CHILDREN. MRS. MARY BOLGER. Mary Frisby was born in Ireland, in in September, 1836, and in 1844 came to McHenry county with her parents, set­ tling in the town of McHenry. In 1858 she was married in the Hartland church to Thomas Bolger, who passed away a number of years ago. To him she bore a large family, among those living be­ ing John, city marshal at Woodstock; Walter, of McHenry; William and George, of Chicago; Mrs. D. H. Corr, of Woodstock, and two daughters re­ siding in Chicago, one married and one not. Mrs. Bolger was a faithful mother and a devoted, loving wife. Raising a large family on a farm, she knew the reality of hard work, but she never shirked her duty and was always cheer­ ful and hopeful. She lived to see all of her children reach manhood's estate and each filling respected positions in the world pf industry and m their re spectiye homes. The last few years of her life were passed in comparative quiet, in the homes of her children, to whom she was devotedly attached and who returned to her the fall meed of love and affection. JAMES KITTLE. Mr. James Kittle died at his home in Chicago, June 22, 1908. Mr. Kittle was born in Canada, and lived there until he was twelve years old. He then came with his parents to Illinois. At the time of his death he was nearly seventy years old. He was a great sufferer during the last few months of his life He was a resident of McHenry county for more than forty-five years. When the great rebellion came he left his home and family and all that was dear to him and went forth to battle for his his country. When the war was over he returned to his family and resumed his work on the farm. James Kittle was one of the most patriotic men I ever knew. He loved his country with an intense devotion, and I believe if danger had threatened his country, he would have gone forth in old age in her defense. Iu politics he was a Republican. He believed in his party and it was very- hard to make him believe that it was not on the right syle of every important question. He was a good citizen, a kind and obliging neighbor and a true friend. If he professed to be your friend, you.could depend on him every time. The men who went forth in the darkest hour of our country's need are fast passing away. The time is not far distant when it will be very difficult to find a man who took part in that great struggle, and when we cease to honor those men for what they did, we shall prove ourselves unworthy of the great blessings we received at their hands. Mr. Kittle leaves a wife, two sons and one daughter to mourn his loss: Wil­ lis J., the oldest son, is in a grocery store in Chicago; John is in a general store at Kempton, 111., and Etta, the daughter, has been a teacher in the schools of Maywoqd for the past seven or eight years. * * * MRS. CHARLES GESKE. Caroline Eicfcstadt was born In Ger­ many on the 28rd day of July, 186(t, and came to America with her parents in 1876, locating in McHenry, where she continued to reside up to the time of her death. On February 2, 1883, she was married to Charles Geske. There are nine chil­ dren, all of whom were at home at the time of Mrs. Geske's death. Their names follow in order of age; Emma, Lena, Martha, Walter. Frank, Annie, Charles. Lillie and Nettie. The broth­ ers and sisters living are Mrs. Fred Feltz, Mrs. Wm. Feltz, McHenry; Mrs. Chas. Secor. Fred, Herman, William and Mrs. Herman Trebar, Marengo. Mrs Geske'8 father died some years ago, but her mother is still living, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Fred Feltss. The funeral was held at the German Lutherab church last Thursday after­ noon and it was indeed a heartrending scene. The sympathy of everyone goes out to the children and husband in this sad hour. Mrs. Geske was a kind and indulgent mother and loved ber family devotedly, Sound kidneys are safeguards of life. Make the kidneys healthy with Foley's Kidney Cure. Sold by N. H.

FATHER BARTH SURPRISED. * Party of Friends From Chicago Visited Him Sunday. Twenty-five years ago on the • 24th of this month, Rev. M. W. Barth was or­ dained as a priest of the Roman Catholic church. Last Saturday was the anni­ versary. Such an event is usually mar­ ked with a joyous jubilee celebration. Father Barth, howeyer, had decided to pass the occasion iu quiet as he could not at this time stand the nervous strain that would result But it seems that he had a few friends in the*city who re­ solved to give him a reminder of the day at least. In Chicago Father Barth was pastor of St. Teresa's church. About seventy members of the congregation of that church arrived in McHenry last Sunday morning in a body and marcned oyer to St. Mary's and entered just as the morning services were being held It was a complete surprise to everyone in McHenry, but for all that the guests were nicely entertained by a hastily summoned committee. J. J. Buch and Jos. Heimer prepared dinner for the party and the afternoon was spent in visiting and sight seeiug. They return­ ed on the evening train much pleased with the way in which they had been cared for, notwithstanding that no prep­ arations had been made beforehand.

FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY CELE­ BRATION IN M'HENRY. Parade and Program at the Park In the Forenoon--Games In the Afternoon- Bloomer Girls. All the details in connection with the celebration in McHenry have taken de­ finite shape and the complete program arranged as follows: 4:00 a. m. The small boys will tumble out of their bunks and proceed to touch off some of the cr tckers they have been hoardiug during the past month. They will continue to make all the noise pos­ sible until the tea'iua begin to arriye, when of course, they will be more care­ ful, for no one desires to see a runaway. 9:80 a. m. Parade will leave the river bridge, for the depot, to meet the 10:10 train, and then back to the park where the following program will be rendered: Selection by the band. Invocation--Rev. S. W. Lauck. Song, "To Thee, O Country"--Chorus. Reading Declaration of Independence --Mi iss Irene McOmber. Song, "Union and Liberty"--Chorus. Address of welcome by H. C. Mead, president of the day. Address-Hon. Win. Lorimer of Chi­ cago. Selection by the band. When the exercises at the park have been finished it will probably be lunch time and everybody will be going one way--toward the lunch baskets. 1:00 p. m. The Chicago Fire Appli­ ance Co., of which Nic Morris is agent for McHenry county, will give an exhi­ bition at the park. A wooden structure will be built, thoroughly saturated with oil and then on fire. After the flames have gained good headway Mr. Morris will proceed to extinguish Jhe fire with "Killfyre," the preparation made by his company. Killfyre has been adopted by the government as a protection against fire and by nearly all the leading manu­ facturing concerns. The extinguisher is a dry compound put up in tin tubes, weighing but three pounds. It is said that the powder will put out a fire in one-tenth the time required by other methods. The experiment at the park will be well worth seeing. From two to four p. m. the races will take place in the order published last week. Over $50.00 in prizes. Immediately after the last race a ball game between the Parisian Bloomer Girls and the McHenry team will take place at Gage's driving park, on the west side.

The firBt yacht race of the Pistakee club last Saturday was a failure owing to the lack of wind, the boats being un­ able to finish in the time limit. It was a hot, sultry d#y and most of the mem­ bers preferred to rest in the shade on shore. The regular races will take place next Saturday if there is sufficient breeze. Mr. Schau's horse broke loose while at McHenry last Thursday and ran away. But little damage resulted. About all the cottages are occupied by owners and tenants. Commander Fred L.. Wilk, of the Pistakee Yacht club, has been very ill the past few weeks, but is now much better and will soon take up his resi­ dence at the Bay. Vice-Commodore A. R, Beck has been in command dur­ ing Mr. Wilk's sickness. Bishop McGavic and over thirty voic­ es from the Holy Angels choir of Chi­ cago, were at the Bay Saturday and entertained the people with their beau­ tiful singing. They stopped at Still­ ing's. Wm. Lorimer has launched a new yacht, this summer which promises to lie a racer of merit. It will be known as "Pats." It may be a good boat, but it will have to go some to keep up with Mavis and Harriet H. John J. Buch has been enlertaining a house full of guests the past week. He has twelve rooms in the new annex which are all filled nearly every Satur­ day and Sunday. Last Sunday he had about thirty guests, besides the extras from the church party. Mr. Brondeck- er carried off the honors as angler, landing seventeen black bass during the two days. Jos. Heimer has had all that he can handle and more, having been com­ pelled to turn guests away. He can care for a large number, but still lacks rooms. He is a genial host and gives his guests a good time. Mr. Heimer's health has been somewhat impaired of late, but he is now recovering nicely.

MODERN WOODMEN ADOPT MOD­ ERATE READJUSTMENT PLAN- B R I E F S -'A New Method Will be Known as the Iowa Plan, Which Will Give the Order a Larger Income. From the head camp meeting of Mod iern Woodmen at Indianapolis, Ind., Jias come a plan of readjustment of its Insurance rates that ought to meet the approval of the Woodmen membership who investigate the plan adopted and (compare it with the rates of other as cessment insurance orders. The Woodmen's new rates are no where as radical as many anticipated they would be, says the Harvard Her «ld. In fact an inspection of them will ijshow that they are reasonably moderate land based more on equitable lines of 'Avhat the proper rate should be in order ito perpetuate the order and give it an assurance of lasting folr many years to come. The plan adopted by the Indianapolis head camp was in the nature of a com­ promise measure and its author is a res­ ident of Iowa, and, in a nutshell, the schedule provides for an increase in the old rates ranging from about 85 per cent on the younger members to as much as 90 per cent on members up to the 45th year limit of admission to the insurance department of the organiza­ tion. The old rates of assessment, which the "Iowa" schedule will replace, are as follows: Age $1000 |2000 $8000 IB to 28 years $40 $ 80 $1 20 29 to 33 years, 45 85 1 30 34 to 37 years. '....... 45 90 4 35 38 to 39 years 50 95 1 45 40 to 41 years 50 . 1 00 1 50 42 to 43 years 55 '105 .... 44 to 45 years.. 55 1 10 "The Iowa plan" rates, to go into ef­ fect as soon as it is possible to make the change, are as follows: Age $1000 $2000 $3000 18 to 25 years $50 $1 00 $1 50 2t» to 27 years 55 1 10 1 05 28 to 29 years. 60 1 80 1 80 30 to 31 years. 65 180 1 95 32 to 33 years 70 1 40 2 10 34 to 35 years 75 1 50 2 25 36 to 37 years 80 1 60 2 40 38 to 3J years 85 1 70 2 55 40 to 41 years 90 1 80 2 70 42 fo 43 years 95 1 90 2 85 44 to 45 yeats.. 100 2 00 8 00 Hart and otb&r sponsors of tbe plan estimate that the new schedule will de­ crease the number of assessments a year, but on the present number of eleven or twelve assessments a year, would increase the income of the organ­ ization $2,000,000 a year, Every mem­ ber will pa^ assessments determined by his age at the date of his certificate. In our judgment it will be best for the membership to continue in the or­ der; to pay their assessments, which, even under the new rates, are not exor­ bitant as compared with other assess­ ment insurance orders. The slight ad­ vance in rates you will not realize at the end of a year, while you are more assured than ever of the stability of the order and its certainty to pay yonr ben­ eficiary at your death. When the cir­ cumstances are all investigated and the welfare of your family taken into ac­ count we believe that very few' will de­ cide to abandon the order of Woodmen, but that they will stay by it as they did thirteen years ago when it successfully passed through a great crisis. What i8 needed now is faith in the Order and with a resolute purpose to stand by the new plan we will all go on and marshal under our banner many thousands of new members who will affiliate with us because we will go on a firmer and tnore. substantial basis- one th*t will more nearly perpetuate the order for many years to ooiua. ^rouchltks (or Twenty Year*.
