The congenial host and hostess made everyone feel at ease, and a gen­ eral good time was had. In the after­ noon the guests assembled in the pleas­ ant parlor and dining room, and Mr. Dyarman tendered an address of wel­ come to'Mrs. Sandberg, which was re­ sponded to in a pleasant manner by Mr. and Mrs. Sandberg. Other addresses of welcome followed, after which Bev. Dunham offered prayer and then all the voices joined in singing the old hymn, "Jesus, Lover of My-Soul." Mr. and Mrs. Sandberg were given a book con­ taining the names of all present as a memento. They received many useful and beautiful presents. The guests de­ parted in the afternoon, wishing this estimable couple the richert ef topp­ ings." . '• To the Public. Since returning from my visit to Iowa I have Men informed that a rumor has been circulated about McHenry in re­ gard to th» recently passed ordinance regarding the closing of saloons. The rumor says that I was the originator of said ordinance and, not wishing to be present at the meeting when Baid ordi­ nance would be passed, made my de­ parture. Now, for myself, I Wish to state to the public that I knew nothing of said ordinance until I read same as published in the columns of The Plain- dealer, and hereby defy any man to say to the contrary. During my terms of office as member of the village board I have always performed my duties in a fair, open and honest manner, and have always striven to work for the people and for the people only; therefore, I make this statement. PETER J. FREUND, Village Alderman. Surprise. A sleigh load of McHenry young peo­ ple drove to the country home of Miss Nettie Whiting last Thursday evening and gave that young lady a genuine surprise as a reminder of her sixteenth anniversary of her birth. The victim, although taken quite suddenly, was not long in preparing for the evening's en­ tertainment, entertaining her guests in a right royal manner. Various games, songs and music were the source of en­ joyment, after which refreshments were served. The midnight hour found the happy gathering preparing for their homeward journey, after having been most highly entertained by the hostess. All present report a most enjoyable time. Basket Social and Card Party. * The members of St. Patricia Court of Lady Foresters, No. 187, are making great preparations for a ' basket qocial and card party to be held at the Central opera house on Thursday evening, Feb­ ruary 8. The ladies extend a most cor­ dial invitation to all to be present. There will be no admission charged for entrance to the hall, but the ladies are requested to bring baskets and the gentlemen to bring their pocket books. This is not saying that the men and boys will be robbed of their money but it will take money to buy the baskets.

Graham and Dminill Each Get One Hundred Straight --Will Carry Home Texas Money. The Illinois shooters who have been participating in the six-days' shoot at Brenham, Texas, have demonstrated to the Southern sportsmen chat there are a few good marbfinen in Illinois. We give below several bulletins from the Southern city: BRENHAM, TEXAS. January 22--In the amateur class, J. R. Graham of Long Lake, 111. e led with a score of 114 out of a possible 120 targets, just one point behind the highest professional. BRENHAM, TEXAS, January 24--The Illinois squad was big Tuesday. It was composed of Riehl, Dunnill, Stilling, Graham and Binyon. They were break­ ing most all of them. The weather con­ ditions were never better than Wednes­ day. Illinois sent to the Sunny South a bunch of clever shooters, as well as gen­ ial gentlemen, and the sportsmen of this section extend them a cordial wel­ come and hope to see them com* again. Messrs. Ben Stilling, J. R. Graham and H. J. Dunnill, good shooters and popu­ lar sportsmen from Pistakee Bay, Fox Lake and Round Lake, Illinois, have made many friends while here. BRENHAM, TEXAS, January 25--The Sunny South handicap shoot consisted of 100 targets. The entrance fee was ten dollars. One hundred dollars added money veas up. Shooters were handi­ capped from sixteen to twenty-one yards. Five momeys prevailed, which was divided on the per centage system. Ben Stilling broke ninety-six out of a possible one hundred, tying for third money, while Graham tied for fifth money. BRENHAN, TEXAS, January 26--The Illinois squad, composed of Stilling, Dunnill, Graham, Reihl and Binyon, stepped up to the traps at the Sunny South shoot, breaking one hundred straight targets each. This is only the fourth time this has been done in the shooting history, and it was nothing but hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! and hats flying up in the air for the Illinois squad. They were certainly the most popular bunch on the grounds. We publish below the chorus to one of the Illinois squad's songs: Everybody works but our bancb, We bum around all day, ^ Doing the state of Texas In a jolly, care-free way. We're here with a squad of shooters, And not a soul is sad; The South and North are friendly, And that's not bad. „ QUARTER OF A CENTURY. Items Clipped from The Plalndealer of February 3, 1881. Book Social a Success. The book social given by the Willing Workers pf the Universalist church at the church last Friday evening proved a most enjoyable as well as interesting affair, the books being quite numerous and many novel and puzzling ones were in attendance. The solving of the titles of the various books began as soon as the books made their appearance, each as they came in being registered and numbered. The solving continued un­ til about ten o'clock, when the bell called "time up." After summing up the lists it was found that Miss Agnes Perry had solved the greatest number, her list showing forty-one correct an­ swers, and she was awarded the prize in the shape of an illustrated book of the song, "SuWanee River." Lucile Byrd also came in for honorable men­ tion, having thirty-seven books correct. Take it all in all, it was one of the most enjoyable events ever attempted by the society, and thejtare very much deserv­ ing of all credit given them. The re­ freshments were of the kind that also aroused some very pleasing comments from those who had the extreme pleas­ ure of partaking of them. The proceeds amounted to about fifteen dollars. Jury Falls to-Agree. The case of People vs. Dewitt Comp- ton came up at the county seat last Wednesday. The prosecution was con­ ducted by State's Attorney L. D. Low­ ell, assisted by Attorney D. T. Smiley, and the defendant was represented by Attorney C. P. Barnes. After lengthy arguments, the case went to the jury, composed of the following gentlemen: Joe London, Henry Hoodstadt, James Coarson, Ed. Lines, Curtiss Mackey, EL H. Thompson,® H. W. Allen, John Fosdick, H. D. Storms, Frank M. Ack- ley, Tbos. Thompson and George Gran- zo. After being out all night, the jury reported at ten o'clock Thursday morn­ ing that they were unable to agree and the case was laid over until the next teroi ol circuit court. Did He Steal Robe? Joseph Fisher, at one time employed by F. J. Herbes, the plumber, but who is now making his home at Spring Grove, was brought before Justice H. C. Mead for an examination last Satur­ day on the charge of stealing a robe from the buggy of Peter M. May. After questioning young Fisher, sufficient evi­ dence was procured to bind him over to the grand jury. He was placed under $200 bonds and failing to get bond was taken to the county jail at Woodstock Monday morning. Don't forget the musical at the M. E. church Saturday evening of this week. F. O. Gans does auctioneering. « We learn that Martin Nelson of Johnsburgh is quite low, with but little prospect of recovery. This has been a good winter to par- chase a thermometer, as they got down about as low as they ever do in these parts. On Monday, Smith & Snyder bought of .Nick Schaefer one hundred hogs, for which they paid him the handsome sum of $1,800. They wet - as fine a lot of hogs as we have seen together this sea- son. ' The question of a butter and cheese factory in this village has been agitat­ ing the public for some time and from present appearances it seems we are to have two. J. Oatman & Sons of Dun­ dee have commenced operations on the ground near Hanly's mill and John Dor- an & Co. have also commenced to draw stone to build a building on the ground owned by E. M. Owen, just south of the bridge, near Bishop's mill. Messrs. Doran & Co. also inform us that their factory will be pushed to a speedy com­ pletion, and will be in operation at the earliest possible moment. By next week we shall be able to give dimensions of buildings and other particulars and shall 8peak more at length in relation to the matter, time and spaoe forbidding this week. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS.

The oldest "newsboy" in the wolrd is said to beOrasmus Page of Joliet, 111., who is 99 years of age and who daily haunts the depots of the city selling the daily papers to passengers. An enterprising Pittsburg undertaker goes after business in the following ewitleand dovelike manner: "Fnner- HI« conducted ou the installment plan, and the most reasonable terms, to suit all purses. Remember this when you need one. Come in and be buried cheap by a friend of humanity." A requisition has been made to the United States fish commission for 20,- 000,000 eggs of the wall eyed pike to be distributed in the various Illinois lakes where this fish is practically unknown at present. It is probable the request will be granted and in that case Lake county will come in for a portion of the eggs, as this is the most noted fishing region in the state. The wail eyed pike is especially adapted to these plantings, as the young escape the voracity of the fishes which feed upon the young of other species, to a remarkable degree. If only a small per cent, of the planting should survive, the fishing at the lakes would be greatly improved. Nunda Herald: The factory of the A. T. C. &. C. Co. of Terra Cotta, man­ ufacturers of terra cotta building ma­ terial and pottery ware, enjoyed the uiost prosperous year in its history in 1905. More work was turned out from the factory than ever before for the same period. Residents of this locality will rejoice over the growth of this in­ stitution, in which the citizens take a justifiable pride. Superintendent Mar- shall of the factory says that the out­ look for 1906 is excellent, and with the improved machinery and facilities which have been added, the factory is in * position to take care of all the orders which may come its way. In regard to the recent basket bail game in that city, the Lake Geneva Herald has the following to say: ' 'Star goal thrower Evanson has 19 points to his credit, Capt. Miller of the Y. M. C. A. follows with 10, Larsen 4, Wheeler 2, Brugger 4 and Binger 7. Everyone was surprised at the good showing made by the home boys. McHenry played in perfect form. Their ability to defend themselves when with the ball was first class in every respect. There is no doubt that if the game had been played in a gymnasium of ordinary size the score would have been even larger. On the other hand as long as ihe Y. M. C. A. boys can make as good a showing as they have in the last six weekB against old and experienced teams there is un­ doubtedly Some good times coming. The McHenry boys were a fine lot and played clean ball. Supt. E. C. Fisher of McHenry was applauded by both the home team and the spectators for his fairness and persistency in spotting rough play." Elina Heston was employed as teacher in Franklin township, Columbia county, Ohio. The two oldest boys in her scl|pol endeavored to make trouble for her, whereupon she knocked their heads together until they were thoroughly subdued and then she thrashed them with a stick until they roared with pain. The boys ran home and told their father, Bosler Swamey. He at once repaired to the school house, declaring he would show that "dod blasted" teacher a thing or two. She defended her conduct and told him that his example was sufficient to demoralize his children, whereupon Bosler undertook to slap her mouth. Then Elina's soul arose in arms. She siezed the poker from the stove and landed with all her strength on the farmer's nose and broke' it, felling him to the floor. He rushed for the door and broke for the open, the school ma'am in fall pursuit She overtook him on the road, knocked him down with the poker and beat him until he begged for mercy. He was unable to walk and sent for the doctor, who found that Swamey's jaw was broken and he was taken home and pat to bed. Elina is still teaching school at the old stand, and the district regards her with awe- straok admiration.--Ex. They Play Cards. Mrs. Peter B. Freund was the hostess at a card party given at her home on Tuesday evening of this week. Pro­ gressive cinch was the game played and prizes were awarded to Mrs. M. D. Weber, first; Mrs. J. H. Miller, second, and Mrs. A1 Krause, third. Refresh­ ments were served. Those present were Mesdames P. H. Weber, Henry Bend­ ing, Jos. W. Freund, Peter J. Freund, A. G. Barbian, J. H. Miller, J. J.
