Hebron Tribnne: The McHenry Plaindealer started upon its thirtieth volume last week. The Plaindealer is one of the best papers that comes to our exchange table, and is a. ways full of news and well printed. : McHenry Co. Republican: The Mc­ Henry Plaindealer began its thirtieth volume last week. The Plaindealer is one of the best locaLnewspapers in the state, and the creditt ior its present con­ dition is due the able and haid-working editor, Chas. Scboonmaker. Harvard Herald: The McHeury Plaindealer has completed its twenty- ninth volume under circumstances that are most auspicious. Editor Schoon- maker has set a pace that is hard to equal in getting out a paper far in ad­ vance of his town--it would be a credit to a city of 4,000 people. Nunda Herald: The McHenry Plain- dealer issued last week the first nn tuber of Volume 30. . Neatly printed and filled with local news, The Plaindealer is a newspaper of which the village may well be proud, and the substantial sup­ port of the business men is attested by its well-filled advertising columns. Woodstock Sentinel: The McHenry Plaindealer closed its twenty-ninth vol­ ume last week and starts ont on its thirtieth year with every assurance of being a better paper than ever before. Editor Scboonmaker is making a good newspaper ont of The Plaindealer, it being classed as among the most ably edited in McHenry county. Marengo Republican: The McHenry Plaindealer entered upon Volume XXX last week. The paper was started by A. J. Van Slyke thirty years ago, and has always been a good newspaper, bnt never better than since it came under the editorial management of Chas. D. Schoonmaker. It is well edited, neat typographically, well made np, full of local news--what more can be asked for an excellent home paper? McHenry should appreciate it, and evidently does. DROWNED IN FOX RIVER. Little Son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph BUM of Klgtn, Formerly of McHenry. -P* - Little Anrelius Boss, aged 8 years, 8 months and IT days, son of Joseph Bues and grandson of Mrs. Bernard Buss of this city, was drowned in the "dipper" at the Kimball street bridge in. Elgin last Thursday evening. With a playmate but a little older, named Rohlfing, he wandered to the bridge and begau throwing sticks and Btones into the water. Mrs. Rohlfing missed her boy and started in pursuit. The children had been at the bridge bnt a few minutes when she caught her child and asked where Aurel was. "He fell in the water," replied his playmate, not realizing the terrible sig­ nificance of his words. Prompt efforts at rescue were made. In about forty minutes the boby was found, having floated under the bridge. The child gave no signs of life when taken from the deep water south of the bridge. The child's father was hastily sum­ moned from a barber shop, and joined in the search for the body. Mr. Buss is chief telegraph operator at the east side Northwestern station. He formerly worked in Carpentersville Lake Geneva Midsummer Fair. A fair for the benefit of Holiday Home is to be held on the Leiter grounds in Lake Geneva on July 22 and 23. It will be by far the most important eyent that has taken place in that town for many years. The idea originated with the wish to raise money for the benfit of the poor children from Chicago, who are brought to the shores of the lake in parties of eighty every two weeks thruout the summer. The original plan was to ex­ hibit the different products of the lake shore places and the neighboring farms, which includes fruits, flowers, vegeta­ bles and live stock, also poultry. There has been a general response to the no­ tices sent out soliciting entiries. and this part of the exhibition bids fair to be of great interest to all farmers and stock breeders and fanciers. This de­ partment will also have a dairy exhibit, an apiary exhibit and exhibit of domes­ tic pets. Premiums are offered in all oases. As the interest has grown among the residents of the city and abont the lake, neV attractions have been added, nntil now there is something to entertain all There will be palm-reading, fish ponds, Japanese tea gardens, continuous vaude­ ville, a merry-go-round and other side shows. Privrte steamers will go from the fair gruuuds around the lake, charging 20 cents for the round trip; an automo­ bile race from Chicago will finish on the grounds Friday afternoon. On Satur­ day afternoon a vehicle parade, to be heralded by the sounding of a horn, is to take place, under the management of Mrs. J. H. Moore, and which will in­ clude all the best carriages, depot wag,- ons. carts and farm wagons to be fonnd is this part of Wisconsin. There are going to be two ssseions each day, the first being from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. and th4 second from 7 P-yw. to 10 p. m. The price of admission to each session will be 25 eta.

A MlncclUneoua Aniortmciit of Neva Items In Condeiined Form For Conven­ ience of RIIHJ People William Bacon of Chicago was con­ victed of stealing 20 cents from the mails and was sentenc. d to the Kane connty jail for one year. The Illinois Central has notified the employes that they must keep away froiii saloons or lose their jobs. Seven men were released at Free port for vio lence of this rule last week. Nunda Herald: Terry McCormick, aged about 22 years,» who formerly worked for Chas. Halligus near Crystal Lake, lies in the county jail at Wood­ stock awaiting the action of the grand jury. He is charged with, and confess­ es to stealing a gold watch from John Smith. Nunda Herald: Christopher Patchie. a well known farmer residing three miles southeast of Algonquin, was fonnd in bed in his room about 8:45 last Friday morning, dead. Members of the family had missed him, and final­ ly broke open the door of the locked apartment to find that the aged man had committed suicide. A heavy dose of strychnine, laudanum and whisky cansed his death. Harvard Herald: Gartz & Son of Elgin have been awarded the contract for building the new vault in the coun­ ty clerk's office in the court house at Woodstock and for repairing and over­ hauling the vanlts in the circuit clerk's and treasurer's offices, as well as paint­ ing the court house and jail. Their bid was the lowest and it was for $8,390. The necessary fixtures and furniture for said vaults will be furnished by the Art Metal Construction Co. of Chicago, whose bid was $1,750.

Wright, who iB engaged in Field & Leiter's wholesale house, Chicago, is spending bis vacation with his parents in this village. Four McHenry boys, viz: Johnny Cravens, Panl Brown, Charles Owen and Frank McOmber, were enjoying camp life at the lakes last week. Our steamers are doing a lively busi­ ness abont these days, making two trips almost every day and sometimes three, to accommodate the rush of pleasure seekers to and from the lakes. The man who is curious to Jtnow how the world conld get along without him can find ont by sticking a cambric nee­ dle into a mill pond and then withdraw*" ing it and looking for the hole. Provoklnfcly Ftuiny. Have yon ever had a long, weary Snn­ day before you--apparently a never- ending day when nothing imaginable would provoke one of those fnll, hearty, whole-souled laughs from which is de­ rived the old, favorite adage, "Laugh and grow fat"? If snch a day comes to you again and yon want a merry laugh for the pleasure it gives, turn to the Comic Colored Supplement of The Chi­ cago Record-Herald's Sunday edition. It is certainly an exterminator of the "blues." Filled completely with fresh, breezy jokes and irresistably comic il­ lustrations in colors, sparkling with wit and humor of an enterprising as well as instructive nature, it is a paper to amuse all who see it Four pages in colors and fonr in black and white, this--the best colored supplement issued by any met­ ropolitan newspaper--makes that news­ paper a combination of a modern Snnday newspaper and a humorous weekly pe­ riodical in colors. The mechanical work involved in the making of this colored supplement is a marvel of skill. The harmonious arrangements and perfect blending of the many colors used in its make-np portray artistic taste of the highest order. The Ideal Entertainers. It wap a small audience that greeted the Ideal Entertainers at Woodman hall last Thursday evening, but it was an appreciative lot of people. The read­ ings and impersonations by Mr. Abbott were especially good and elicited rounds of applause. The moving pictures were all that was claimed for them, but were small owing to the posts in the center of the hall, which prevented the use of the entire width of the curtain. It was withal a commendable entertainment and the Woodmen are deserving of praise in their efforts to secure first- class attractions. Little One Dead. Joseph, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cossman of Volo, died Tuesday, from the efft cts of a burst blood vessel. He was about three and one half years of age. This is the second son the be­ reaved tather and mother have lost in the past few months. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to them in their sorrow. The fnneral will be held at the Catholic church in 'Volo tod*y. NEW PARK SEATS. An Article the V»nd*l« Cennot So Ewlly Demolish--Fence being Destroyed. At the last meeting of the village board it was decided to again place a number of seats in the public park for thCeom- fort of those who enjoy the cool, shady nooks to be found there. The seats, ten in number, were installed this week. The visitor to our city may look at the cumbersome benches with wonder, for they are not a thing of beauty nor are they in the least graceful in appearance. The aeat and back are made of two- inch plank, spiked and bolted to cedar posts, tfhe latter being set two feet in the ground. There is a reason for build ing them this^fay, however, and there is a certain lot of young men and boys who know the reason better than any one else. Heretofore, the park lias been provided with the regulation park seats, bnt owing to the hard use they were put to by the youngsters, their life was short. The board oould not see its way clear to furnish this kind of aninsement for the boys every season, and for thai reason the more substantial seats were put in. The new benches are not quite as comfortable as the old, bnt there is some satisfaction in knowiug that they are practically indestructible. The new seats may offer inducements to the jack knife fiend, but he should bear in mind that there is a severe penalty for defaciug public property. It is not ouly iu this direction that the vandals have shown their utter lack of common sense. The appearance of the band stand and the irou fence around the park proves that the work has been done thru pare cusseduess. The stand iainastateof collapse, benches being smashed, brackets knocked off and the ever ready jack knife used in every available spot. The irou feuce, which cost the Village a large sum of money, has received no little attention from the destroyers. By actual count, the tops of <ift0 iron pickets have been knocked off. .Remember th>it we said this work was done thru pnre cussed- ness alone. It was not thoughtlessness. To knock off one of these pickets a boy mnst first hunt up a hammer or heavy club. It could not be done with the hands alone as a person passed by. There are few towns in the state the sins of McHenry that can boast of as pretty a public park, filled as it is with many beautiful shade trees, surrounded with a neat iron fence, and crossed from corner to corner with asphalt walks. The citizens should take pride in keeping it in good condition, and the next man or boy caught in the act of destroying property should be pnnished. Perhaps it would do some good. RACES AT AURORA.

The program runs thru four days, as u*ual: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs­ day 4nd Friday, July 19, 20, 21 and 22. Aurora races this year will at­ tract more horses than for several years past, for the reason that there are no other meetings within 200 miles of that city during the same week. This means large fields and a sharp race in every heat. Six thousand dollars are hnng up in purses. The entry list oontains the names of at least 200 of the best horses, being campaigned in the West, and the secre­ tary, P. Crego, will gladly mail copies to anyone interested npon request. Council Proceeding*. Council Room, July 1. 1904. The meeting was called to order by President Story, who stated that the meeting had been called to take the place of the regular meeting, and to transact any business that might prop­ erly come before the board. Trustees Block, Eldredge, Freund, Heimer, Laures and Stoffel responded to roll call. The following bills were read and ap­ proved by the finance committee: M. M.

Davis Junction, 111a, and friends are camping at McCollnm's lake. A base ball team from Chicago, known as Kearn's Orioles, is camping at Me- Collum's lake and enjoying the out­ ing immensely. The boys expect to re­ main about three weeks. In the yacht races at the Bay last Sat- arc^iy\the Pats again carried off the honors in the class A event. The Tri­ ton beat the buttinsky in the class B race, while iu the catboat event Lassie easily won out. The races were all de­ void of "iy special features. Th<) jung ladies of the Pistakee Yacht club are making great prepar­ ations lor the bazaar which will be held at the club house ou Jtbe evening of J uly 28. This promises to be one of the most pleasant events ofthe season ami nothing will be left undoue to make it worthy of everyone's attention. T'he steamboat Olympia of Algonquin, which played so important a part in the rescue last week, owned by Koch & Kellaiiau, will make regular trips be tween the lakes and from the lakes to McHenry. None of the boat owners have yet fonnd it profitable to make regular return trips from McHenry to the lakes, altho the boat may be char tered for a day at any time by pionic parties. The tenders of the draw bridge which crosses the river between Fox and Pis takee lakes, on the St. Paul road, seem to take great delight in making boat men wait for a passage thru the draw. Last Sunday Dr. Hunt and a party of friends were compelled to wait nearly five hours before the bridge tenders would let them pass. Their only ex cuse was that they expected a , train to pass that point. This same annoying question comes up quite often, to the disgust of the owners of sail boats and steamers. There is more activity on' the river this year than at any time since the St. Paul road went thru at Fox Lake. At nearly any time of day launches can be seen plying np and down the stream, some owned by private parties and oth era being excursion boats. The largest boat that navigates either lakes or river is the Island Queen, owned and operat­ ed by the Fox Lake Transportation Co. This boat is now making regular trips between the important points on the lakes and river, including McHenry, and runs each day on schedule time. The Clem Bell is also owned by this company. These boats can be chartered by private parties for trips around the lakes, to the lotus beds or any place where navigation is possible. Both boats are new and strongly built. On Saturday evening of this week, July 16, the shores of the Bay will pre­ sent a beautiful appearance, for it is Venetian night. In past years this has been an event looked forward to with delight by the residents. Last year the display of lights around the shore was magnificent, but it is expected that all previous records for grand displays will go to smash this year. Every person on the shores is taking a d^p interest in the affair and will make "an effort to outdo his neighbor in brilliancy of dis­ play. No less than seventy-five illntn- inated boats will be in the parade which will leaye the olnb house promptly at eight o'clock. At nine o'clck 100 red lights will be lighted simultaneously along the shores. It will be a sight worth making an effort to see. Many people from McHenry will be present. There will be no regular races Saturday. John B. Barden of Chicago, in com­ pany with Stephen Smith and Chris Blake of Johnsburgh, enjoyed a day's fishing in the river last Thursday. That is, the last two named enjoyed it. Bar­ den has not yet found out where the joy comes in. Before starting out he stated that he would return with a string of fish, even if he had to dive and bring them up in his pocket He did catch one string and lost it, but before return­ ing to German Village he had landed a pail full of beauties, enough to make np for the string that had been lost. When the party reached the Village Barden stood up in the boat with the pail of fish in bis hand, congratulating himself on his good luck, when, in the twink­ ling of an eye, he fell backwards into five feet of water. When he had again reached the surface, blowing like a spermWhale, there was no fish in sight. He h'ad lost the pail and found not a fish in his pockets. It looks as tho Barden might have been carrying his bait in a jug instead of the regulation tin can. Then he went home and told his wife how he "saved the child from a watery grave." To Whom It May Concern. The village of Spring Grove will, on Saturday, July 28, 1904, let by contract abont 6,000 square feet of concrete side­ walk to the lowest responsible bidder.

E. parsonage in Woodstock, occurred the marriage of Mr. P«g| Wooster and Miss Myrta Bel Gallahet It was a quiet affair, in fact bnt very few, if any, besides the contracting par­ ties and the officiating clergyman, Rev. N. A. Sunderlin, knew anything about the affair until it was all over. It was well understood among the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wooster that they were engaged j and that the ceremony would take place in the course of a mouth or two, but no one was looking to be sur­ prised in such a manner. Mr. <and Mrs. Wooster cams over to McHenry 1111 mediately after the cere­ mony and fixed it up with their frieuds, departing for Chicago -op the evening train amid a shower of rioe and con­ gratulations. They returned to Wood­ stock Monday, where Mr. Wooster iB employed in the A. D. Osborn hard­ ware and crockery store. They will not go to housekeeping at once. The bride is the ol«iest daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. W. F. Gallaher of this village. She graduated from the Mc­ Henry high school with the class of lSKKt, aud is possessed of all the charms characteristic of the fascinating Aiifer- ioau girl. The groom is one of Wood­ stock's most popular young men and bears an enviable reputatiou for integ­ rity. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Wooster of Capron. May they live happily ever afterwards is the wish of The Plaindealer and a host of friends. ?y> • - Bnt tor Market.

Mrs. Atlanta (Gould) Parker was born in Hamburg, Erie Co., N. Y., August 2, 1888. When she was a ohild her peo pie came west, settling in Fremont township, Lake county. She was mar­ ried February 21, 1887, to David Parker. Their home was in Fremont until 1872, when they settled in McHenry, 111. But they finally came to LiLertyville in September, 1902. The complications which were finally fatal began some years ago. They gradually increased and carried her life away on Sabbath night, Jnly 8, 1904. Her sufferings for some months have been severe. She leaves to mourn, her bereaved husband and her only daughter, Ella, who tenderly oared for her to the last. Mrs. J. B. Gray is also a sister of the deceased. Mrs. Parker possessed a gentle, lova­ ble disposition, which helped her to eon- tribute to the happiness of all about her. It was her chief ambition to be kind and helpful to friends and neighbors, and to make the world better Ijy her sojourn in it. As a wife and mother she wa^ particularly amiable. He* mis­ sion ww a success and of her it may be said, as of Mary of old, "She hath done what she could." The sweet memories of her amiable life will forever remain with her friends and neighbors.
