C. A. Lake Oenev* The boys' and girls' basket ball teams journeyed to Dundee last Friday even­ ing, where they met their brothers and sisters in contests for honors, and came home well satisfied with the showing made and treatment received. The girls' team was the first to con­ test, and from the time the whistle sounded, calling the game, unti} the game came to a finish, there was a con­ tinuous excitement, both teams being determined to win. Although it was the first game of the season for our girls they made a good showing and the score is no disgrace. When time bad been called at the end of the second half the score board showed the result to be 25 to 10, in favor of the Dundee team. It was a most exciting game. When the boys took- the floor every one of the three hundred or more spec tators sought for the best place to wit­ ness the contest, for well they knew that they were to see a real basket ball game, and in this they were not disap­ pointed in the least, every inch of the ground being bitterly fought by each and every one of the players on both teams. A more enthusiastic or well behaved crowd of fans never, before gathered to witness a game of basket ball or any other sport, each and every good play, no matter by whom made, receiving the hearty cheer of all. The feature of the game was the exception­ ally fast work of the entire McHenry team, which won by the score of 48 to 18. After the games, the visiting teams were escorted" to the basement of the Congregational church, where a very inviting luncheon was awaiting theip. The tables were very prettily decorated, the colors of the two teams occupying prominent places. Upon their, return to McHenry the following morning, the teams had almost forgotten what the scores of the previous evening had been, their uppermost subject for discussion being the hospitality shown them. Nev­ er before have they received such royal treatment as was accorded them from the people of Dundee. The trip will go down in basket ball history as one of the most enjoyable ever. TWO VICTORIES OVER LAKE GENEVA. On Saturday evening the McHenry highs and seconds had as their oppo­ nents the Lake Geneva Y M. C. A. and high school teams, the games being pulled off at the city hall in this village. The seconds, who opened the even­ ing's program, put up the best game they have yet played, defeating their opponents, the Lake Geneva higns, quite handily, the score being 21 to 2. At no time during the contest did the visitors expect to win, but they gave evidence of being on the never-give-np order, playing the best ball they were capable of during the entire contest. The highs and Y. M. C. A. teams played a mnch closer game and during the first half it looked as if McHenry was up against tht> real thing, the half ending with the locals only a few points to the good. But, as in pearly every game played,thus far this season, our boys played perfect ball in the second half, winning out by a score of 39 to 19. A field throw by one of Lake Geneva's men, from the center of the hall, was the best piece of work of the evening. Gilbert Bros. Secure First-Class Show. Messrs. Gilbert Bros., managers of .the Central opera house, wish to an­ nounce to the theater going public of McHenry that they have been fortunate enough to secure Dubinsky Bros.' fa­ mous Wallack's Theatre Co. to play at, the Central three nights, commencing Thursday, March 29, with a special matinee Saturday at 2:80 p. m. This company is considered one of the very best repertoire organizations traveling, and without a doubt the best that has ever appeared in McHenry. The com­ pany comes to McHenry only on account of having an open date, and in order to secure them Messrs. Gilbert Bros, bad to give up a big guarantee of money, an effort which McHenry theatre goers should show their appreciation of by turning oht in full force during this company's engagement here. Their opening play will be a beautiful four-act drama entitled "The Mansion of Ach­ ing Hearts," Five high-class vaude­ ville specialties are carried as an extra feature, which are introduced between acts. There will be an entire change of play and specialties at . each perform­ ance. WANTED--Men in each state to trav­ el, post signs, advertise ana leave sam­ ples of our goods.

"Did nut know the game was so snappy and full of interest," is the common verdict of many in attendance. Watch for the third game between Crystal Lake and McHenry, second teams. Each team has won one game, on a close margin. These have been the most exciting of the season. Come out and cheer our boys on to victory. Friday, April 20, has been designated as Arbor day and Bird day. Fifteen schools in McHenry county are without trees. Let us begin now and, in the language of the general assembly, "con­ tribute to the health, comfort and at­ tractiveness of the state." A splendid book has been sent out by the state su­ perintendent of public instruction, full of helpful suggestions for this day. The following quotations are takan from it: "When we plant a tree, we are doing what we can to make our planet a more wholesome and happier dwelling place for th >se who come after us, if not for ourselves. As you drop the seed, as plant the sapling, your left hand hardly knows what your right hand is doing. But nature knows, and in due time the power that sees and works in seciet will reward thee openly." It was our pleasure to accompany the basket ball teams to Dundee Friday evening and meet the teams of that place in the second game of the series. We are proud of our boys and girls, and justly so. Their school spirit has al­ ways been of the highest type and their ambition in athletics above reproach. In these two games they met boys and girls who are like minded, boys and girls who believe in the development of mind and body through athletics; who believe in honesty of purpose; who be­ lieve in true athletics; who believe that "to win, no matter how," is the great curse of it all; who believe that, as social beings, the social feature, with its force in character building, stands pre-emi­ nent; who believe that honest, effective work, whether in school or onthe grid­ iron, should receive recognition. Two splendid games, an elegant luncheon, a most delightful time, many pleasant acquaintances and lasting friends are some of the reflections of our Dundee trip. As they would say, "Nine 'rahs for the ̂ management of the- Dundee school, nine 'rahs for their excellent spirit, nine 'rahs for their boys and girls," and, of course, "Ten 'rahs for our own." The games with Lake Gene­ va were equally pleasant. The Y. M. G, A. is doing a great work for the boys and young men. See accounts of these games in another column. - - TOMORROW, SWEET TOMORROW. [A soliloqcey in prose.] O, Tomorrow, sweet Tomorrow, thou hast been a friend to n^e! How often when all the world seemed black have I looked forward to thy coming! Thou hast been to me the fairest flower in Life's Garden of Hope! Thy name is Anticipation! Thou hast been to me the brightest jewel in the evanescent diadem of Realisation. Sweet Tomor­ row! How often when dark, dense clouds of gloom seemed settling like a mantle aboul my burdened shoulders have my eyes pierced the Stygian black­ ness and beheld the dazzling glitter of thy fairy mansions, sweet Tomorrow! Yea, thou hast been a promised land to me, sweet Tomorrow! Beyond the cold, gray breakers of Today thou hast been as a gilded shore to me! And beyond that gilded shore, a land of milk and honey! O Tomorrow, sweet Tomorrow, thou hast been a jov to me! How often have I slept, and in that sleep have I dreamed I roamed in thine Elysian fields and breathed the fragrance of tby vine clad hills, sweeter to me than the ambrosia of Olympian heights! How often have I reveled thru thy palaces and feasted in thy banquet halls, sweet Tomorrow! How often, as with blasted hopes and shattered ideals, I traced my weary footsteps homeward thrn the gathering twilight hast thou, sweet Tomorrow, held out to me a hand of cheer and a new born hope! Thou hast been a sweet Samaritan to to me, sweet Tomorrow! Thou hast been my pillar of cloud by day and my pillar of fire by night! How many a time at sunset, when all seemed lost, have I wrapped the draperies of my couch about me and, sinking into sluinber. wandered on thy dreamland shore! The faint perfume of thy possi­ bilities has been to me as the rarest fra­ grance of the sweetest blossoms in the Garden of Life! How many times, and oft as I paused almost on the brink of that bottomless abyss leading to a lower world, hast thou thrown out to me the life line, sweet Tomorrow! How often as my spirits seemed sinking in this tur­ bulent sea of mortal strife, hast thou cast out to me the life buoy! Tbou hast indeed been a friend to me! Sweet Tomorrow! Abide with me now! De­ sert me not, sweet Tomorrow, my time is almost come. Stay with me to the end. Let me hide myself in thee, sweet Tomorrow! Let me die at thy thresh­ old, sweet Tomorrow, and as I enter the Golden Gate and list to the angel cho­ rus let me call thee heaven, sweet To­ morrow!--Anon. DUBINSKY BROS. Aud Their Famous Wallack's Theatre ©•. Coming March 89-31. Dnbinsky Bros.' famous Wallack's Theatre Co. open a three nights' engage­ ment at the Uentralfopera house, com­ mencing Thursday, March 29, with the beautiful comedy-dram^, "The Mansion of Aching Hearts." It a bright, in­ teresting play from beginning to finish, with a thororughly original plot worked out on lines that are almost in every respect new to drama. In the story that is told no one can see the end from the beginning, every act being literally brimful of surprises, and yet there is nothing so glaringly absurd and impos­ sible as is almost sure to show itself in this play. The cast is one of those even­ ly balanced companies, concerning which individual praise would be bor­ dering on unjust criticism. Every one of the entire company plays his respect­ ive part with a vim and a spirit that keeps the audience ever on the alert as to what comes next. Five high-class vaudeville specialties; including the original Cal-i-Fris-co Boys, "Gordon & Gilbert," will be introduced between acts each night, making this a continu­ ous show. Afflicted With Rheumatism. "I was and am yet afflicted with rheu­ matism, " says J. C. Bayne, editor of the Herald, Addington, Indian Territory, "but thanks to Chamberlain's Pain Balm am able once more to attend to business. It is the best of liniments.'

A good Rochester pastor, ~m widower, proposed to a young lady, a short time since, and was rejected. His feelings bad the second severe test when a wid­ ow neighbor sent him the following text to preach from:, "You ask and re­ ceive not, because ye ask a miss." - A county newspaper speaks of a man who always paid for his paper a year in advance. As a reward, he was never sick in his life, never had a corn on his toes, or toothache, his potatoes never rot, the frost never killti his pears, his babies never cry at night, his wife nev­ er scolds, and he has succeeded in serv­ ing three terms on the school board without being criticized. A sweet girl student thus described the manner in which a goat butted the boy out of the front yard: "He hurried the previous end of his anatomy against the boy's afterward with an earnestness and velocity which, backed by the pon­ derosity of the goat's avoirdupois, im­ parted a momentum that was not re­ laxed until the boy landed on terra firm a beyond the pale of the goat's juris­ diction." An exchange says that a minister's wife, a doctor's wife and a traveling man's wife met one day and were talk­ ing about the forgetfulness of their hus­ bands. The minister's wife thought her husband the most forgetful man living because be would go to church and forget bis notes and no one could uiake out wiiat he was preaohing about. The doctor's wife thought he bad a poorer memory still, for he would often start out to Bee a patient and forget his mediaine case and travel ten or twelve miles for nothing. "Well," says the traveling man's wife, "my husband beats that. He came home the other day and patted me on the back and said, 'I believe I have seen you before--what ,is your name?' " The postmaster-general' has issued a notice that all rural mail carriers have the right of way on all country roads and that all other carriages or convey­ ances must surrender the right of way to the rural carriers. This order was issued as the result of numerous com­ plaints on the part of carriers who were not able to deliver their mail in the specified time because carriages and conveyances which they met refused to give them the right of way and often made it necessary for them to drive slower or to wait until the road was clear before they could proceed. A fine will be charged to all who in* any way interfere with the speedy delivery of the rural mail, and as a carrier is also fined and sometimes deposed for late delivery, he will DO doubt see to it that any person responsible for his delay will bear the punishment instead of himself. The McHenry. county poor house at Hartland has forty-three inmatek All but one of them is charged to or appor­ tioned to the various towns of the coun­ ty, the patient referred to being a coun­ ty charge. An idea of bow the various towns are represented by patients at the county house would be interesting. The^own of Dorr, in which the city of Woodstock is located, heads the list, with almost one-third the total number, her quota being thirteen. Nunda comes uext with 7. Chemung and Algonquin tie with 4 each to their credit. McHen- ty has 3; Greenwood and Alden 2 each; Hebron, Grafton, C-oral, Dunham, Riley, Hartland and Seneca have 1 each. Ma­ rengo, Richmond and Burton are with­ out a patient at the poor house and in this respect they enjoy a distinction not shared by any of the other fourteen towns. The latest inmate to take up his abode in the county institution is a character in many ways. We refer to A. Peterson, an early day resident of Woodstock. For thirty-three years "Doc" Peterson, as he is called by old and young, worked as a shoemaker at the store now owned by C. F. Thorne. "Doc" was a fixture there when JE. C. Jewett ran the store and even in the days when the thriving city of 4,000 had less than 1,500 inhabitants. He worked until about a month rfgo, when old age, ill health and want compelled him to go to the county house. And of him it may truthfully be said love of title cup that intoxicates baB caused him to seek refuge in the county house. Valversallst Church. Rev. A. Roberts, pastor.

Covell died at the of her son, S. H. Covell, at Port­ land, Oregon, March 14,1906, at tha age of eighty-four years, six months and twenty-seven days. Rosaline A. Reed was born at Mont- pelier, Vt., August 17, 1821, At the age of twenty-two she was united in marriage to Wm. S. Covell, the cere­ mony taking place March 24,1848. Mr. Covell preceded her to the better world November 7, 1696. In 1850 the deceased moved with her family to Illinois, set­ tling in Lake county. Two years later. May 8, 1852, Mrs. Covell moved to the farm which still bears her name, about 2i miles east of McHenry, where she continued to reside up until November, 1908, when she moved with her son to Portland, Oregon, and where she lived up to the time of her death. Mrs. Covell suffered a stroke of paral­ ysis in 1901, the effects of which proved the'direct cause of her death. During the last four months she had been con­ fined to her bed, growing weaker and weaker each day until the end, .peeing away very easily. The funeral was held from the home Thursday afternoon, March 15, and was largely attended by sympathizing friends who bad learned to love her. Dr. E. Lincoln of the First Cpngrega- tional church officiated. At her own request she was laid to rest in Lone Fir cemetery. She leaves two children, five grandchildren and four great-grand­ children. - "A Mansion of Aching Hearts," Cen­ tral opera house, Thursday, March 29. Passion Week at M. K. Church.
