A., class C--cat- boat--have been adopted and the secre­ tary will be pleased to give all necessary information for prospective owners and builders of the splendid sailboat which, without any doubt, will bw a favorite among yachtsmen on our inland lakes, being a stanch craft, perfectly safe, last­ ing for years, a family boat as well as a race boat, and can be built very cheaply. The PiBtakee Yacht club is in the best of condition and indications point to a most successful summer. The club will spare no pains nor expense in making the season of 1906 a most enjoyable one for the Pistakee Bay and. resorters. • M. M. Clnb Two of the memoers came very near coming to grief last Saturday evening. Wonder why? Everett Sherman and John McGee of Woodstock attended the M. M. M. card party Saturday evening. The club presented one of Its mem­ bers who was contemplating a short journey With a beautiful "pannier." Fonnd--a pocket knife, in the dish water. Owner can havf same by call­ ing at the clnb rooms between the hours of 12 and 12. The butchers' boys' derby was the event of the evening. Boxes - were held by Eld Sutton and Walter Walsh. The M. M. M.'s were verv accommodating, having provided a cosy corner for one of its members. Misses Mable Granger and Cassie Eldredge entertained the M. M. M. 's at the home of the former Monday even­ ing- The honors of the evening were won by Misses Annie Miller, Rose Jus- ten and Edna Hunter. Refreshments were served and at a late hour the guests departed, after having spent a very pleasaht evening. The M. M. M. 's, whatever that means, entertained at progressive cinch last Saturday evening. Thru the courtesy of Mr. and Mrs Simon Stoffel the young ladies were granted the use of the ladies' parlor at Stoffei'a hail where the event took place. After a few very social hours of the fascinating game, the guests were served with some delicious refresh­ ments to which all did ample justice. Two prizes were awarded to the lady and gentleman winning the highest number of games. In this Miss Lillie McGee and G. C. Boley were the lucky ones, the prizes being a box of stationery to each. The olub is made nn of a jolly lot of young ladies who always make it interesting whenever they entertain. The fair sex will hold regular meetings, but only on special occasions will the boys be allowed to participate. Birthday Surprise. One of the most complete surprises which has taken place in McHenry for some time was executed last Saturday evening when a company of about a dozen friends of J. J. Reser gathered at his home on Waukegan street just to re­ mind him of his thirty-eighth birthday anniversary. No one could have been more surprised than the victim when the company snddenly broke in upon him. Of course it took him some time to set his mind what it all meant, but ere he had quite overcome the shock the jolly company were busily engaged in the popular party game known as flinch. After a few social hours were spent the guests were served with refreshments of the goody kind. Before making their de­ parture Prof. E. C. Fisher, on behalf of the company, in a few well chosen words presented Mr. Reser with a beautiful Kold-mounted fountain pen as a kind reminder of the occasion. The evening was a most enjoyable one for all pres­ ent Good Road* and a way to help make thesa: Don't drive in the same rnt until yon reach China.

A Miscellaneous Assortment of News Items In Condensed form Far Conven­ ience of Busy People. - The Y. M. C. A. of Lake Geneva has a membership of 226. Dog poisoners are again patting in their work at Harvard. Hundreds of ciscoes are being canght thru the ice at Lake Geneva. An Elgin man sees 40,000 inhabitants for that city when the year 1916 is reached. / / Between 250 and 800 men have struck for higher wages at the Armour ice house at Round Lake. - The Merchants' and Farmers' bank at Grayslake has been purchased by L. Y. Sikes of Mason City, I1L The price paid was $32,500. , J. Ogden Armour has added forty one acres to bis Lake Forest property. Three hundred dollars per acre was the price paid for the addition. The car barns for the new electric roa 1 will be located at Marengo, so says the Marengo Republican-News. The site for the same has been donated to the company. The Andrew Heating company of Chi­ cago is negotiating with the people of Nnnda Tor the location of their factory in that city. All the company asks is a building and three or four acres of land. Wm. R. French, who has managed the affairs of The North-Eastern Jour­ nal published at Spring Grove, has gone to Rockford where he has secured a fine position in one of the largest printing houses in northern Illinois. A teacher in one of our pnblic schools was having a lesson upon latitude. "Now, who can tell me," she inquired, "why it is colder as we travel toward the north?" A youngster cried out, "It's 'cause yon git further from the creator." Hebron Tribune: The coach attached to the Borden train w£s destroyed by fire on the sidetrack here, Sunday after­ noon. The fire was discovered a few miles west of town, but the car was hauled here and sidetracked. An over­ heated stove was the cause of the blaze. The Libertyville merchants are up against it right. The great department stores have made arrangements with the Chicago & Milwaukee electric whereby parcels will be delivered to Libertyville people free of charge. The business men of the enterprising Lake county city say they will fight the move. Edward Opfergelt left on Sunday to join one of the St. Louis league haseball teams on a trip to Cuba, where they will do their spring practice work and where Edward will be given a "try-out." Mr. Opfergelt is one of the best semi- professional twirlers in the business and his frieuds here hope he will make good in the big league. The sale of peanuts lm the United States is not a small business, as some persons might suppose. Some $48,000,- 000 passed through the channels of trade, in big and little amounts, for this nut last year. Of this immense sum the growers received but $8,000,000, leaving gross profits to the dealer of $40,000,000. The New York Produce Exchange esti­ mates the average of peannts grown last year at 760,000 acres. An exchange reports that they have fonnd an editor in heaven. How he got there is not positively known, but it is conjectured that he piously passed him­ self for a Christian and stepped in un- suspected. When the dodge was discov- red they searched the beautiful realm of felicity in all their strength and breadth for a lawyer to draw up the papers of ejectment, but they could not find one and of course he held the fort. Lncky editor. A celebrated lawyer and governor of Mississippi had been employed to de­ fend a fellow indicted for stealing a horse. The evidence was plain against him, but' the governor made such a powerful speech that the jury at once acquitted him. After he wf* turned loose, he was accosted by a friend: "Now, Peter, honor bright, did yon steal that horse?" "Well, Sam, for a long time I thought I stole him; but since I heard the govrenor, I don't be­ lieve I did." .The North-Western railroad has been demonstrating for three weeks that the smoke nuisance, so far as railroad loco­ motives are concerned, can be abolished. Its system consists in using smokeless coal and in a careful and right super­ vision of firing. Hereafter no other kind of fuel will be used in the-district east of Canal street, Chicago. This dis­ trict includes the passenger yards of the company and also all the freight yards which extend along the river from Wells street to Lake Michigan. Dundee Hawkeye: The Dundee bas­ ket ball team, accompanied by a few faithful rooters, journeyed to McHenry last Friday evening and tried conclu­ sions with what is said to be one of the fastest country teams in the state. It was the first game of the season for the Dundee boys, therefore they are not as harmed of the fact that they were beat­ en, the score being McHenry, 45; Dun­ dee, 12 One of Dundee's players was in no condition for a hard game, but our boys have no excuse to offer--McHenry won the game because they had a better team and played better ball. The boys say they were never treated better in their lives and are loud in praise of their McHenry hosts. A return game will be played iuDundee in a few weeks, when our boys hope and expect to make a bet­ ter showing, and treat the up-river play­ ers to a dose of their own medicine, both during and after the game. FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH. letter fram £. R. Gilbert, Who !*-««« in Montgomery, Alabama*,'"' MONTGOMERY, ALA., Feb. IS, 1&06. To THE EDITOR OP THE PI-AINDEAJL,- ER:--Thinking perhaps a few of yonr readers would like to know how I like the Sunny South, I will try to tell yon how I see the South. When we left Chicago it was snowing but before we reached Englewood the sun was ehining. There was as much show on the ground on onr arrival at Nashville as was on the ground in Chi cago. Our first stop was at Birming­ ham, Ala. There we fonnd a thriving city which is bound to be the Pittsburg <|f the South. The city is surrounded by a chain of mountains which are filled with iron ore of the best quality. Coal is also found in abundance within a radius of twenty miles of the city. Property is very high. In the last three years everything has doubled in value and some has increased more than four times in value. The cause is to be found in the fact that Northern men with capital are locating there and are working with the same energy as in the North. Yours respectfully, • E. R. GILBERT. LAST DANCE BEFORE LENT. 'Ikt* Held at the McHenry Bow Monday Kveninf. •all The yonng people of McHenry and the immediate vicinity will be given their last opportunity to trip the light fan­ tastic, until after Lent, at the McHenry House hall next Monday evening, at which time one of the beet danoes that ever took place in the hall will be held.

Just as the twig ia bent, the tree's inclined." --Pope. The juniors have found something radical-ly wrong. Messrs. Angell and Sawyer of Carpen­ ters villewere callers Friday afternoon. Mise Sanborn spent Saturday and Sun­ day with Mrs. J. Smith at the Corners. Valentine's day in the first room was one of mnch joy and interest for the lit­ tle fellows. The signet ring chosen by the seniors is a little beauty, bearing the engraving, "M. H. S. '06." Margaret Ward has returned after two days' absence and reports her moth­ er much improved. The juniors are having their own troubles in selecting a class pin. "In union there is strength." The house party given by the seniors in honor of S. G. was very mnch en­ joyed by all participants. (T) Owing to the illness of Mrs. Fisher, Misses Sanborn and Kasser are break­ ing bread with Mrs. Dermont this week. Howard Sawyer, who has been under the care of Dr. Larson since onr game with the Dundee and Carpentersville boys, is reported rapidly improving. The basket ball game with Nunda and Crystal Lake Union school was called off on account of sickness of the latter. A gafeie will be arranged for the near fnt ure. The pupils of the second room are pro­ gressing nicely with their water color work, much interest being manifested and some proving themselves real art­ ists. The action of our board of education i the required credits submitted by the State University leaves us but little short of full accredited relation. Three cheers for our school. Many active little citizens can be found in room three industriously work­ ing out the principles of town and county government. They are very much in need of a district and oounty mapi. ' What shall I dot" My boy. don't stan ̂ asking; Take hold of something--wherever yon can, Don't turn aside for the toil or tasking; Idle soft hands never yet made a man. Teacher: (After moral discourse to troublesome Willie) "Now how many commandments bare weY" Willie: ' Ten." Teacher: "What if yon should break one*-" Willie: "Then there*d be nine." Sometime ago class officers were elect­ ed as follows: Senior class--Harriet Lamphere, president; Edwin Evanson, secretary and treasurer. Junior class: Clara Stoffel, president; Alford Pouse, secretary and treasurer. The reoent article of Prof. John M. Tyler of Amherst, a well known biol­ ogist and lecturer on educational sub­ jects, is causing much discussion thru the columns of some of onr magazines.

ELECTION IN SAME OLD WAY. Maw PrUaary Law Does Mot Apply to Oar Tillage. The annual village election will be held in the same old way according to an opinion given out by Atty. General Wm. H. Stead. In last week's issue there appeared in the oolumns of The Plaindealer a Primary Election notice, but since then it has been learned that Mi Henry does not come under the new law. The law provides that it shall apply only to dtiee having a population of 1,- 000 or more where party lines between the Republican and Democratic parties have heretofore been drawn at their elections. As McHenry during the past several years has not drawn any party lines the elections will be held the aame as last year. Men Fait Sixty In Danger. More than half mankind over sixty years of age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders, usually enlargement of prostate gland. This is both painful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of dan. ger, as it corrects irregularities and has cured many old men of this disease. Mr. Rodney Burnette, Rock Port, Ma, writes: "I suffered with enlarged pros­ tate gland and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure I feel better than I have for twenty years although I a» sow 91 years old."
