INJURED DOING NICELY. All Victim* of Wednesday'* Catastrophe Shov 8I|m of Inpronvnt, * Up to the time of going to press we learn that the unfortunate victims of last Wednesday's catastrophe are doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. The canning factory promoters have been in McHenry the past week, providing for those injured. Dr. C. H. Fegers, Sr., has been appoint­ ed ohief surgeon by the promoters for those of the employee injured and the patients are being cared for nnder his lonal direction. The canning company promoters, we understand, are paying all doctors' bills and providing nurses Where neceesary and have also settled funeral expenses of those who were in the employ of the company. The report as furnished by the vari­ ous doctors is as follows: Clarence and Frank Cobb show steady improvement and a speedy recovery is looked for. Chas. Geske, wound in the face caus­ ing mnch pain, although doing as well as oould be expected. Thos. Powers, doing very nicely, con­ sidering the number of wounds.

Phalen shows great improve­ ment in the iast few days; takes nour­ ishment and medicine. Besides the doctors, trained nurses are in attendance at Phalen's and Moore's. NO PLACE FOR BURGLAR. Attempt to Bob West Side Pratt Mom Proyea futile. Who was >the burglar who tried to force an entrance to the west side fruit store on the morning of Tuesday, Feb ruary 37 f This question was brought before the people last Tuesday morning by Gust Guinta, proprietor of the place. The attempt at burglary occurred about one o'clock Tuesday morning, when tha proprietor and his wife, who oocupy the rooms in the rear of the fruit store, were suddenly awakened by a noise which sounded as if someone was trying to force an entrance thru the door. Mr. Guinta grabbed a sword which stood handy, rashed to the door from whence the sound came, making three vicious swings at the bnrglar, smashing the glass in the door into a thousand and more pieces. In the ex­ treme darkness Mr. Guinta could not tell whether or not his blows were ef­ fective. He at once aroused Mr. Freund, the nearest neighbor, but when he ar­ rived no trace could be found of the midnight intruder, although a search has been made all along the street. In cutting his way thru the door glass Mr. Guinta received a bad out on the arm which Dr. Larson was called upon to dress immediately after the excite­ ment. Target Shoot.

Lamphere was released from its body and took it6 de­ parture into the great unknown regions of immortality. He was one of the un­ fortunate ones who were injured in the dynamite explosion at the grounds of the new canning factory, on the 21st inst, and the injuries incurred there, after three days of intense suffering, caused his death, Mr. Lamphere was born at Waucon­ da, 111., February 21. 1876, and- died at the home of G. W. Besley, McHenry, aged thirty years and three days. The greater portion of bis life was spent in the latter place. He was married to Miss Mary Hermina Besley on February 27, 1901. His departure leaves not only a young wife and a son of tender months to suffer the loss of a kind hus­ band and father, and a mother an affec­ tionate son, but also two brothers, Chas. Edwin and William, and one sister, Harriet, and many relatives and friends to feel sorrowful for his untimely death The funeral services were held at the home of Mr. G. W. Besley, Sunday, February 25, at 10 o'clock a. m., con­ ducted by Rev. Arthn* Roberts of the Universalist church, assisted by Rev. E. H. Beal of the Methodist church. The services throughout were in deep sympathy with the ordeal of sorrow. Selections read were the twenty-third PBalin and a part of "In Memoriam," by Tennyson. The music selections were "Lead Me Gently Home, Father," "Broken Hearted, Weep No More" and "Over the River." The subject of ad­ dress was "The Relation of Sudden Affliction to Divine Purpose," found in the following words of scripture: "For they verily for a few days chastened us for their own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness." "For the Lord will not cast off forever; but though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion ac­ cording to the multitude of His merciee. For He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men." " "Tis but a spectral phantom of the night; There is u<> room tor two, God fllleth all. Evil is not God's rival, 'tis His slave. Who yet shall serve Him, tlio he now rebel. Fear not. Almighty Love is at the helm." The floral tributes from friends pres- est and absent were in beautiful keep­ ing with all sympathy that was ex­ pressed-by word and action. The fu­ neral was largely attended. Relatives and friends out of town in attendance were: Mrs. C. B Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Howard, of Elgin; Dr. and Mrs C. H. Albrecht, Mr. L. C. Besley, Wau­ kegan; Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Besley, Woodstock; Dr. and Mrs. LeRoy and Mrs. E. W. Brooks, Wm. Lamphere, Wauconda; C. E. Lamphere, Gilberts; Mr, and Mrs. A. C. G range ly^CJfiteago; Mrs. Julia Bishop, RingwoM. #% CARD OF THANKS.

Your mutnal sympathy was our strength to bear an untried pain. Mrs. Mary Hermina Lamphere. Mrs. Ella Lamphere. WILLIAM PHALEN. WfflfeWr Phalen, one of the victims of last Wednesday's catastrophe, was born at West McHenry on December 18, 1856, his parents coming here from Syracuse, New York, in the month of OctoDer, 1853. He Attended the school of Mc­ Henry until fifteen years of age when he started to learn the miller's trade, his first employment being with Owen Bros., who at that time conducted the Center- ville mill.- Later on he worked for Mr. Bishop, who had become owner of the mill. About seventeen years ago he started work in the Hanly-mill on, the west side, where he had been-uontinually employed up until the time of his death. Think­ ing that bis health was failing him Mr Phalen worked the E. M. Owen farm for five years previous to coming to the Hanly Mill. On February 2, . 1885, deceased was united in marriage to Miss Alice Fair, the ceremony being performed by Rev. P. M. O'Neill at St. Patrick's Catholic church. To the union were born five chil<$cen, all of whom are left with their mother to mourn the death of a kind and loving husband and father. The children are as follows: Will, who is conducting a blacksmith sljop at Keno­ sha, Wis., Charles. Elizabeth. Robert and Bernard. . Besides these one broth­ er. Thos. R. Phalen, the only child left of a family of nine, and a large circle of friends are left to monrn. Mr Phalen, as will be seen by the above, started his earthly toils when only a boy . He was considered one of the best millers in the county. Thru his kind disposition and honest dealings he always won the honor and respect of all who came in contact with him either in a business or social way. The shock of his sudden death came as a great blow to his family, who have the«incere sympathy of the entire community. The funeral services were held from St Patrick's church, the Rev. Edward tiobb performing tha last sad ritsa. His sermon was a most eloquent one. The floral contributions were map; and beautiful , « CARD OF TEUNKS. ^ We, the undersized, wish to express our sincere thanks to the many kind friends and neighbors for their assist­ ance and sympathy during our reoent bereavement. ; wliRS. Wm, Phalen and family, , Thos. R. Phalen. GLADYS LOUISE FISHER. Gladys Louise Fisher, the daughter of Prof. E. C. f isher and Mrs. A. Ethel Fisher, aged one year, three months and one day, in the early morning of the 28rd of February, 1906, took flight into the chambers of immortality, to sloep and dwell with the angels. Few were the hours before her departure that it was believed that her spirit was lis­ tening to their call to come and live with them. Notwithstanding all that could be done by faithful and loving parents and kin4 friends to have her tarry longer here below, her spirit obeyed the higher voice. It is sore af­ fliction to think of one so young and tender to go so early the path that the angel of death has ordered for all, and so we stand with this consolation: "Sweet Gladys, like an early floweret Tenderly guarded. In a moment was called above; But lu heaven to bloom unshaded In the smiles of God's own love,' "Hear we now the souk she raises MinKi •ue with the cherub baud; Yes, 'tis she, with angel voices Chanting In Cauaan's land. "Our hearts must mourn, and yet Weep Por her who has passed away; Ah, no! For who would win her back-- An angel from the realms of day? " 'Of such is the kingdom 0f heaven'. And Its glorious band surioonds bar now; The wreath of immortality Sits smiling on her brow. "Weep, yes, rather for thoee O'er whom long life Its shadow throws; Whose cares and griefs and fears must Weigh down the spirit to the dust." The funeral services took place on Sunday, Feb. 25, at 1 p. m., at the M. E. church, in the presence of a large assembled congregation. The altar, around and above the little white casket holding t te lovely remains of innocence, in harmony with the sweet and lovely features, was bedecked with flowers in many rich designs ar­ ranged in simple and symbolio devices. The whole, like smiles of angel gladness, came to earth to gladden mortal gase, and with their silent voices tell us God is good and all is well. Among those who contributed to this floral expession of sympathy were the classes of high school, of which' the father of Gladys is principal, and the orders ot which he and Mrs. Fisher are members. The day was bright overhead and the sunlight came down from His tht*one above like a messenger to leading gently on. A brief service was held af the bouse and then the funeral train pro­ ceeded to the church.T While the organ gave forth its solemn tones the proces­ sion passed np the aisle, led by the pas­ tor, Rev. E. H. Beal. "The pall bearers were four little girls of tender years, dressed in white,--Oorabell MeOmber, Sylvia Hille, Lucile Wetitworth and Letah Page. The services were condttcted by Jthe Rev. E. H. Beal. "Siloam," a hymn of beautifnl and tender harmony, was sung by a quartet, composed of'Chas. G. Frett, J. D. Lodtz, Mrs,, W. F. Gal- laher and Mrs. J. J. Reser. Rev. Ar­ thur Roberts offered prayer. This was followed by the singing of "Unanswered Yet." Scripture selections were appro­ priately read from the 90th Psalm and 2 Sam. 12: 16-28. Rev. Beal addressed the congregation in a simple and im­ pressive manner with consolation of Gospel and reflecting most toochingly the hope we have in the Christian re­ ligion. The Savior's words likening the kingdom of heaven to a little child was left as the abiding thought for oomfort. The services at the church were con­ cluded by the quartet singing "That Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." While iow, plaintive tones were played upon the organ the congregation was suffered to approach to take a farewell look at Gladys' features, who lay m if in fen- tie sleep. Borne away to the cemetery, the body was committed to its parent dust. All is over--all save that her soul lives in the world above; save the sweet mem­ ory of her brief stay upon earth; save "That, blessed hope, strong and sweet, The hope of that coming time When those welcoming hands our lkatods snail meet, 111 the gate of the Life Sublime." CARD OF THANKS. kr. and Mrs. Fisher use this means of expressing their sincere thanks for the many kind ministrations in this, Jtheir aad bereavement and great sorrow. *% EDWIN QU1NN. . y Edwin Quinn, a former resKTenf of McHenry, passed away at his home at 260 Villa street, Elgin, last Wednesday, Feb. 21, after an illness covering a peri­ od of over a year, the direct cause of desth being catarrh of the stomach. The deceased was born in this village February 12, 1871, making him a trifle over thirty- five years of age at the time of his death. Mr. Quinn has been an Elgin resident since last spring, when he moved there with his mother, Mrs. James Quinn; who, with five brothers and three sisters, survive. The broth­ ers and sisters are as follows: J. F.. Simon, Henry. Michael, of Chicago; William, -of Rock ford; Maria, Agnes and Loretta, of Elgin.

West McHenry. A country minister in a certain loca­ tion took permanent leave of hiacongre gation in the following pathetic manner: "Brothers and sisters, I come to say good-by. I don't think God loves this 'ohurch, because none of you ever die. I don't think you love one another, be- cause I never marry any of yon. I don't think yon love me because yon have not paid my salary; your donations are mouldy fruit and wormy apples, and 'by their fruits yon shall know them.' Brothers, I am going away to a better place. I have been called to be chap­ lain of a penitentiary. Where I go ye cannot come, but I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am, there may ye be also. Good-by."

Still she was not satisfied and after executing a few parabolas, right-angle-triangles and other geomet­ ric designee, sat down with a pained ex­ pression, to wait developments.

Carter of Hingwood, an old, well known and highly respected citizen of that place. The particulars' of his death, as near as we;, could learn them, were as follows: He started from his home, about a mile west, to go to Ring wood, with a horse and cutter. About an hour later he was found by a passer-by, lying across the thills or cross bar of his cutter, behind his horse, dead. His horse was down, and the supposition is that his horse getting in the deep snow, in attempting to gift him up he was kicked in the head, as there was a large gash or bruise in his fore­ head. The accident happened Wednes­ day afternoon. An unusually enjoyable oooasion was the marriage of Mr. Willis J.'Kittle and' Miss Rose Nickle, by the Rev. Mr. Jor­ don of MdHenry, at the residence of the bride's parents in Ringwood, February 22, 1881. Their numerous friends gath­ ered to the number of thirty. The gueeta departed, leaving behind sub­ stantial tokens of their congratulations and good wishes in the form of an ele­ gant assortment of presents. Some of the principal presents were as follows: Two 20-dollar gold pieces, by the bride's father and mother; the groom's parents, a gold neck chain; Mrs. Mary Harsh, silver spoons; Mr. A. and W.

' Oneof the most setere stotms of the season commenced in this vicinity on- Saturday last, and has continued with­ out abatement until the present writing, Thursday noon. It commenced on Sat­ urday with a violent rain, aocompwied \iith thunder and^ lightning, flooding the roads, which, together with the deep snow on the ground, made travel by cars or team impossible. r The rail road track was in many places from three inches to a foot under Water, which by Monday night was frbsen sol­ id. Tha mail train which -passed this on station Monday {morning, going s6uth, ran off the track just below Crys­ tal Lake, where it remained natil late in the day Tuesday, and several engines which were sent to their relief were iftchci bsfcre they wu'u ttiteli 'tiiaa. Wednesday night; -abottfr-eight O'cloek, they succeeded in getting a coastrtiction train with about forty shovelets through to this place,-.'which was iffi&§diately followed by a passenger train. The construction train adcceeded in getting through to Lake Geneva about two o'clock this Thursday morning, but the passenger train still remains here, with but little prospects of getting away for sotne tlme.' A' blinding snow storm is ndw raging, full two feet of snow hay* ing fallen since last night, and a heavy northwest wind is piling it monittain high. We have had no mail since Sat urday night, and when we will get one is a conjecture. Business is all at a stand still and we can only ait stHi and wonder, "Oh, Lord, how long?" Farewell Party.
