Item* Clipped from The Plaindealer of October 88, 1870. An adopted child of Geo. Rosenberg- er, aged about six months, died on Mon­ day morning last. The dance for the benefit of the Ger­ man school was well attended and all report a good time. Thos. Knox is building an addition to hia saloon and dwelling house, 48x16, which, when completed, will add much to the convenience and appearance of his establishment. The many friends of Rev. W. A. Adron in this village and the surround­ ing country will be pleased to know that he has been returned' to this place for another year. Both as a minister and a citizen he is hignly respected by all who know biin. One of the nice but much abused young men of this village sends the fol­ lowing to be published in our columns: "I wish to give my washer-wi man no­ tice that hereafter I want my ow1 clothes. Last Sunday I pnt on another fellow's shirt, but couldn't wear it at all. It was ruffled around the neck and looked real handsome, but there was no place for a collar and it had no bosom, though I'm bound to say there was plenty of room for one. Yes, it was a handsome Shirt--but I don't have mine made that way, particularly the bosom and sleeves." HUFF-BLAKE NUPTIALS. Tbey are Wed at St. Mary's Church on Wednesday. The marriage of Mr. Peter Huff and Miss Lena Blake took place at St. Mary's church in this village on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, Rev. M. W. bartb pronouncing the words which made them man and wife. The bride and groom, attended by Miss Anna Blake aud Joseph King, promptly at nine o'clock marched to the rostrum at the foot of the altar, where the sacred rites were administered. Miss Blake is a popular young lady of Johnsburgh, having made that her home until quite recently, and she is possessed of all the qualifications which go to make up the good housewife of. to :ay. Mr. Huff is also-a native of Johnsburgh, .having spent his entire life in and around that village. After the cere­ mony the bridal party aud a company of invited relatives drove to the home of the groom's brother, Michael Huff, near Ringwood, where a dainty wedding din­ ner awaited them. Mr. and Mrs. Huff will go to housekeeping at "once on a farm near Richmond, recently rented by Mr. Huff. The Plaindealer joins with their many friends in extending congratulations. TWENTY-SIX YOUNG PEOPLE Kqptlf* Pint Holy Communion Mantel Morning. A class of twenty-six young ppople received their first commnnion at St. Patrick*8 church last Sunday morning. The pastor, Rev. P. M. O'Neil, during the past few months has been instruct­ ing the young people in the preparation for the ceremony which was performed last Sunday, having developed an excel­ lent class. After the ceremonies a photograph was taken of the pastor and class. The following are the names of the young people who received the sacrament: Messrs.-- Joseph Sutton Thooias Knox Ray McAndrews John Conway Harold Gilles Paul Doherty Paul Meyers Misses- Anna Carey Vera Adams Mary Aylward Lola Boyle Mary Keesse Marie Loujj Mai guerite' Knox John Long Ray Whiting ,Rny Conway Eddie Conway * Robert Knox , William Dohetfjy Anna Bolger Mary Meyers Vera Doherty Lizzie Phalen Annie Knox Evelyn Carey R.ev.

Cormiwk'it Returned to the McHenry and Hihkwood charges for Another Year. ^ The Rock River Conference of the M. E. church finished its duties of appoint­ ing pastors for the several pastorates of this section in Chicago on Tuesday evening of last week. Rev. Joseph M. Cormack, A. M., B. D., has been re­ turned to the McHenry and Ringwood charges for another year,a fact of which not only the people of thoae churches, but the people of McHenry in general, feel proud. Rev. Cormack has just completed his first year's work in McHenry. We deem it safe to say here that the past year has been one of the most successful in the history of the church, all debts being paid up in full, showing that the benev­ olence offerings during the past year have been most highly satisfactory. With bright prospects for the future Mr. Cormack begins his second year's servic­ es. That his efforts may be crowned with success is the earnest wish of The Plaindealer and his many friends in and around McHenry.

The fair and festival given nnder the anspiccs of St. Mary's church was well attended and was a success both social­ ly and financially . Sunday evening the large hall was taxed to its utmost ca­ pacity, many who sought admission be­ ing turned away. It is estimated that there were between six and seven hun­ dred people in the hall that evening. The program was carried out on Sunday evening and all other evenings just as advertised, all numbers being well re­ ceived. The fair will come to a oloee tonight and those who hare uot a* yet attended should not. fail to do so tonight. A minstrel show will be the bill, after which dancing will be indulged in. ' Have Pleasant Time. A number of McHenry young people chartered a 'bus last Saturday evening and drove out to the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bryant, intent on spending the evening in the good old- fashioned way. Messrs. and Mesdames J. W. Kimball and A- C. Mattnews were numbered among the merry com­ pany, and insisted on taking part in every set that was danced. Dainty re­ freshments were served at midnight, and a short lime afterward the guests departed for their homes, after congrat­ ulating Mr. and Mrs. Bryant on their hospitality . .

In Basket Ball Gaines I.aat Friday Evening.. \i The boys'and girls' high school bas­ ket ball teams came over from Hebron to do battle with our high school teams, and as a result split even, each team making a very creditable showing. The hall was filled to overflowing with royal enthusiasts of the game, who encouraged our players at every stage of the game, and had there been more room more people would have been present. As it was, a large number of the older followers of the game stayed away for fear of being hurt during the game by a wildly thrown ball. We feel sure that the managers of our teams would be safe, from a financial view­ point, in engaging a larger hall in which to give exhibition contests. The attend­ ance last Friday night shows that our citizens are willing to give their sup­ port aud encourage the teams as much as they can. At 8:30 the girls' teams lined up for their first half. The McHenry team won the toss and chose the west goal. It was evident from the start that He­ bron wonld have the best of the argu­ ment, they having had the benefit of the previous season's experience, while our girls appeared for the first time in a matched game. Considering this fact, it is evident that they made a very good impression with the rooters. Our girls, after the first few moments of play, saw that de|eat wafe a certainty, but-were game to the end and fought gallantly until time was called at the end of the second half. The Hebron girls are a fine lot of players and it was a pleasure for tht- spectators to have the opportun­ ity to see them play, and that they are ladies, each and every one of them, is self-evident. Let us say here that any person opposed to high school athletics, who can witness such a game and fail to be favorably impressed by the grace and ease of movement induced by this exercise, besides the healthy vigor in­ stilled in the body and brain by such active indoor and outdoor exercises, let us say, that person has no right to claim to be called a mau. The girls are put­ ting in some stiff practice, snd will un­ doubtedly made a better showiug in their next game. The boys' game was juat-the opposite to that of the girls', the boys showing from the start that Hebron was far from an even match for them. But that does not say that the McHenry boys play without fault; far from it; if it were not for the fouls checked up against our players last Friday evening •the lads from Hebron wonld not have had a look-in.

Howard Tell* of Meeting Him In Nrbrattkn. Elgin Cotfrier:---R. A. Howard of El­ gin, while at Norfolk, Neb., recently, attended a Democratic meeting ad­ dressed by W. J. Bryan and Patrick E. McKillip. Mr. Bryan,' in his opening remarks, informed his Republican hear­ ers that he would say nothing to offend them. After conceding the state to Roosevelt by announcing it a waste of time to make it an issue, he proceeded to talk oI political ideals and made a plea for the state, congressional and legisla­ tive ticket. Mr. Howard is a good list­ ener and greatly enjoyed the praise of President Roosevelt as being honest and out in the open, while Parker is an un­ known quantity. The next day he met Mr. Bryan and congratulated him on the splendid speech that he made and of the great pleasure of having the opportunity to be present. He informed him he was from Illinois, Kane county, tibe bauner Republican county of Illinois* "But you are a Democrat," said Mr. Bryan. "Oh, no," answered Mr. How­ ard. "You remember you said in your opening speech last night that you would say nothing to offend any Repub­ lican, and I can bear yon ont in the statement." t v Couae 11 Proceedings.

THE REPUBLICAN RALLY AT STOFFEL'S HALL LAST SATUR­ DAY EVENING. Attorney T. S. Lnnlajr of Woodstock Ad­ dressee McHenry Voter*--A Good Audi­ ence Bears Him. Last Saturday evening, at Stoffel's hall was held the first Republican rally under the auspices of the Republican Club of McHenry. The evening was an ideal one for the occasion and a large and enthusiastic audience greeted At­ torney V. S, Luuiley, the principal speaker for the evening. Miss Mabel Granger entertained the audience with a few well rendered se­ lections on the piano previous to and during the meeting, and a male quar­ tette of Woodstock also favored the people in attendance with a number of songs .of., the campaign order, which were well received. Mr. H. C. Mead, chairman of the meeting, first introduced Mr. Cooney of Woodstock, who responded by reading a Democratic prayer, which he thought most appropriate for the opening num­ ber on the program. Not being pre­ pared to speak, beiug called upon unex­ pectedly, Mr. Cooney gave way to V, S. Luuiley, who was then introduced to the people by the chairman. Upon arising from his ch&ir the ever, popular attorney was given a hearty applause Mr: Luuiley gave a very good address, explaining the political question in a masterly manner, showing that he thoroughly understood that of which he spoke. He, called the attention of his listeners to the high standard to which this great nation has been brought dur­ ing the past eight or ten years by our Republican administrations. He also called the attention of the people to the fact that Mr. Deneen, our Republican nominee for governor of Illinois, was one of the best men that could have been selected for that office and that all should give him their support, also, vote the straight Republican ticket this fall, giving the people of the United States another four years of continued proa- peiity. At the close of the meeitng a vote of thanks was extended the speaker, quar­ tette and C. T. Eldredge, the latter for his successful efforts In aoliciting sign­ ers to the clnb. MISS HUNT ENTERTAINS A Company of Friends at Riverside Hall Last Saturday Evening. ENTERTAINED AT 8T. LOUIS. MeHenry County Young Ladles Boyally Treated by Geo. A. Hunt, One of the most unique banquets that have been held in the palace of agricul­ ture at the Louisiana Purchase Exposi­ tion was given on Chicago day by Geo. A. Hunt and C. C. Elliott, connected with the Illinois commission, to the The Riverside hall was again the scene of an nnnsually pretty Social event last Saturday evening. Accepting invita­ tions extended them by the hostess, Miss Carolyn Hunt, a company of her yonng friends gathered at the hall, intent on having a good time, and if their inten­ tions were not carried ont it was cer­ tainly not the fault of the hostess. But judging from reports of those who had the pleasure of attending, no one was disappointed, all enjoying themselves to the limit. The music for the occasion was furnished by the popular Schaffer orchestra and waa highly appreciated, each dance being heartily encored. The last, dance on the program might well be called a "Confetti two-step" as the danc­ ers were all armed with the stuff and told to "fire." That they fired is evi­ denced by the1 condition or the hall the next morning. In fact the floor looked like a street after a week of carnival. But not all wis wasted on the floor, a goodly share being carried away in the hair and various creases and folds in the clothing of the guests. Immediately after the last dance the company re paired to the dining room, which was beautifully decorated in red and white, where they partook of a most delicious supper which had been prepared by the hostess. This concluding an evening of great activity and enjoyment, the young people deserted the place, feeling very grateful to Miss Hunt, who had saably entertained them. The following young people took part in the evening's festivi­ ties: NUMBER vj L O C A L B R I E F S Misses-- Blanche Williams Hellen Ebbert Anna Bertelsen Belle Lowther Ethel Thi88lew Edith Anderson Lillie Heimer Katie Heimer Delia Heimer Annie McGee Lillie McGee Carrie Rothermel Carrrie Neisen Zue Gallaher Edna Hunter Maytne Granger Florence Howe Hattie Lamphere Irene McOmber Cassie Eldredge Mary Weber Lizzie Weber Messrs- Jim Lane Chas.

In the past few weeks, since nearly all View of World*# Fair City* St. Louis. ladies of their fair state, says the Wood­ stock Republican. Mr. Hunt has charge of the Illinois dairy exhibit in that building and Mr. Elliott is in charge during his absence. These gentlemen conceived the idea of giving a dairy banquet to the most pop­ ular beauties of Illinois, and they car­ ried out their plans with the best of suc­ cess. After consulting Prof. Oscar Erf, of the Kansas Agricultural college, who has charge of the "model dairy" labora­ tories of the World's Fair,-and Chas. W. Melick of Lincoln, Neb., official butter and cheese maker of the" "model dairy," the following named ladies were formally invited: Miss Irene Thompson and Mies Nellie Richardson of Wood­ stock; Miss Anna Harrison of West Mc­ Henry, and Miss Fanny Redpath and Miss Maggie Redpath of Marengo. They appeared at the Illinois Booth at 12:80 p. m., chaperoned by David Red- path, of Marengo. After a hearty greeting the company surrounded a beautiful table groaning under the fol­ lowing menu: Rivalo Ox Tails Japan Naval Success (Consomme Royal) Olives Stuffed with Cream Checks Baked Lake Trout au Full Cream Radishes, St. Louis The Mortgage Lifter Croquette "Model Dairy" Butter Illinois Peas Evidence of Winter (Klondyke Cream) Potatoes a la Chicago » Cold Storage Salad and Polly wog Plums Erf Salad and Thompson Cake Buttermilk a la Model and Elgin Cheese Jersey Milk and Neufchetel Cheese. ~ A. E. Jones Of Topeka, Kansas, wait the guest of honor and master of cere­ monies. After a most enjoyable dinner the party was conducted through the "mod­ el dairy" laboratories by Prof. Erf and Mr. Melick, the cottagers have left the Bay, miscre­ ants have been putting in their work at that place, tfaie latest victim being Wm. McRobert8, who has a cottage on Hog Back Island. It seems that Mr. Mc- Roberts was at the Bay on the night of the robbery, taking the same train into Chicago the next morning which bore the law breakers to that city. Mr. Mc- Roberts, noticing two young men occu­ pying the seat in front of him, at once recognized property in their possession which he thought very much resembled some of hts goods. A friend of Mr. Mc- Roberts, who was also in the same car, followed the young men when they reached Chicago, while Mr. McRoberts returned to the Bay on the next train to make sure before causing their arrest Arriving at his cottage he was confront­ ed by just what he expected. The lock on the door had been broken and some of his property was missing. He lost no time in taking steps toward the pros­ ecution of the young law breakers, who were arrested and brought to McHenry on the above mentioned day. A third party, who, it is thought, had a hand in the deal, is still at large, but policemen and detectives are looking for him and will undoubtedly locate him before long. The two men were released un­ der $1,000 bonds to appear at the city hall in this village Friday morning for examination, and if found guilty will be turned over to the circuit oourt.
