CONCERNING THE DAM* , ^ PrOC*>VM. ©ooduiau Gives Us Ml**!* } ^ > O# the Meeting. "To THE EDITOR: At the meeting held at the Nippersink club rooms Sun­ day, Jnne 17, I did not see a reporter for The Piaindealer present, and know­ ing that you desire keeping your read­ ers informed on current events, thought it might serve a useful pnrpose to fur­ nish you with an outline of the proceed­ ings, as many who are interested in the subject were unable to be present. Soon after two o'clock the meeting was called to order and after the elec tioD of a chairman, a number of those who have heretofore opposed the con­ struction of a dam were called upon to address the meeting, and following them some who were known to favor the project. A resolution embodying the views of both sides as nearly as pos­ sible was offered, and after the freest and most liberal discussion, was pnt to vote without a single dissenting voice. The resolution favored the construc­ tion of a temporary weir which should not raise the water above normal sum­ mer level, bnt which, being in the nat­ ure of an experiment, is to determine what effect an obstruction placed a mile or so below the village of McHenry would have on the water at Wilmot. It is to be so constructed that the deter­ mination may be made of the actnal height required to raise the water one foot at Wilmot; and being provided with slnice gates, the necessary level may be ascertained and maintained without encroachment and without in­ jury to anyone. The project as offered meets with the approval of the Fox River Protective association, and should anyone wish further information concerning.the ac­ tion, the subscriber will be pleased to furnish it. F, M. GOODMAN, Chairman. To THE EDITOR: In anticipation of a more uniform water-level in the river for some time to come atter toe con­ struction of the experimental weir some distance below Emerald Park, I thought it might be well to snggest to those having river or lake frontage that now is a most favorable time to make changes, repairs and to remove boulders and obstructions. I was somewhat surprised a few days ago, when acting upon this idea, to find the river in front of my premises yield­ ing 150 boulders, half of them of pretty good size, and, besides, pieces of ma­ chinery, an iron wheelbarrow wheel, tin cans, stovepipe, bottles, pails, logs, stump#, etc. Some boulders beyond my line were too heavy for the team to move and will be marked by stakes. I am looking forward to a great im­ provement in the river and would earnestly urge everyone to keep the stream ip. as nice a condition as possi­ ble. Don't throw anything into the river, not even a piece of wood, for even this soon becomes water-logged and sinks. Surely the village, in consideration of health and beauty, should provide a dumping ground where refuse and gar­ bage may be disposed of so that one will not be constantly running into dis­ gusting and sickening piles here and there along highways and the river. Those cutting weeds in the river should float them ashore and use tbem as manure or after a day or two expos­ ure to the sun. burn them. F. M. GOODMAN. Universalis! Church. Rev. Arthur Roberts, pastor. Regular services next Snnday. Preaching at 10:80 a. m. and Sunday school at 11:45 a.m. We do not say that those who do not attend chnrch miss the best things of life, bnt we are at this church mak­ ing every effort to make the services such that none can afford to stay away. If the services, preaching especially, are not what you like, it should be remem­ bered that every one has the power to make the services better. Come, lend a helpping hand, perhaps those who make it a regular business of life to stay away do not believe that anything is to be gained by attending chnrch. All well and good, meet us some place and prove to us that you are doing the better thing and we will go with you, for all men should be united in the best things for humanity. But until you can prove to us that you are doing the better thing we will continue to invite everybody to attend the church. Come, everybody. Ico Cream Social. The local Royal Neighbors will enter­ tain the public at an ice cream social on the lawn at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wentworth next Satnrday even­ ing, June 80. The Neighbors promise to entertain all who may come in a right royal manner and will insist upon all having a good time.

STOFFEL TO HIS FAMILY. Ii Now |(t Berlin, flehn*n;-Trlf Was a Most Knjoyable One--Meets Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. BFRL.1N, June 6,1906. MY LOVED ONES AT HOME-. When leaving home on the 8:32 train May 29, t was more sad than glad, as a trip cov­ ering a period of three months in time and a distance nearly half way around the earth, leaving yonr own loved ones, your friends and all behind, overcomes one at the start with a certain degree of lonesomeness for which one may well be pardoned, and 1 am free to confess that had it not been with a view to the future and a desire, perhaps, to bo able to better the conditions of those depend­ ing on me, that I allowed a business duty to call me away into a foreign and strange land, where new acquaintances must be formed, new methods studied and an extra effort made to preserve and further the interests of those who have intrusted them to onr care on this side of the ocean, for a short time at least, I would never have made the trip. However, since we have undertaken the task I will do my whole duty to my company in matters of business and at the same time inform -my 'family and friends at home from time to time on matters whUsh may be of interest to them. In this letter I can speak of nothing more than my trip. I left Chicago on the 1:45 Lake Shore express, paying $4.00 extra fare on a fast train so as to make sure to reach New York in time for the steamer "Dentschland," due to sail Thursday at 10:80 a. m. The trip on the train was very uneventful until we reached Albany, N. Y., at 11:20 Wed­ nesday morning, but from Albany to New York, a distance of 150 miles, I really dislike to speak, as I am unable to draw even a partial pen picture. I believe no pen can da justice to the grandeur and beauty of the scenery along this route. We sometimes see handsome, yes, beautiful pictures, the work of some noted artist. We catl it grand--it is realfy beautiful, but no artist can add to Nature's beauty, he can only take from it. At Albany we find the Hudson is a placid, silvery stream, flowing silently toward the ocean, 150 miles away. Hundreds of different kinds of craft are plying its smooth surface, and as the train is speeding along its shore, some­ times not ten feet from the water's edge, we obserye on the other side, com­ ing nearer and nearer, a beautiful car­ pet, in all the varied shades of green; there appear mountain range after mountain range, gently inclining, round, abrnpt, receding, then suddenly we are in utter darkness, for the train has disappeared into the bowels of the earth. Presently it again appears in daylight, only to bring to your vision a grander, more magnificent \iew than the one before. Again and again are we plunged into the earth for a few moments, seemingly to give one a few moments for reflection, and to prepare oneself for an ever changing, I might say fantastically changing panorama. Here we see perpendicular formations of rock that assume a dizzy height, cov­ ered with a dense growth of brush, grand to behold in this beautiful after­ noon sun. Presently. Newberg comes in sight, cradled in the laps of two lofty mountains. On the very top of one of them we notice some rich man's castle, but it looks about 6x6 from where we are, the height is so great. From now on it seems our faithful locomotive is making a special effort to reach its destination in time. We are fairly flying around curves, past mount­ ains of solid rock, thru tunnels, over trestles, on, on, until all too soon the conductor calls ont 42nd street station, New York, at 8 p..m. Here I took the underground street railway to 23rd street ferry, crossed over to Hoboken and arrived at the steamer pier at 4 p. m., May 80. On board the steamer "Dentschland," which left Hoboken at 10:30 a. m., May 31. on time, I can only give you an ac­ count of items as they happened on board of boat. First, something about the boat itself, which may be of inter­ est. Her length is 6864 feet; depth, 44 feet; beam, 67i feet; tonnage, 16,000: horsepower, 37,000. She is of the twin screw type; her shafts are 26 inches in diameter; propellers, 24 feet in diam­ eter; four blades to the propeller, each blade weighing five tons. There are 608 employes of all ranks. She has twelve donble end boilers and four sin­ gle end, carrying 112 fires. The routine on board is divided as follows: Breakfast, 7 to 8; lunch, 10 a. m.; dinner, 12 to 2 p. m.; lunch, 3:30 p. m.; supper, 6 to 7; lunch, 8:80; concert, 9 to 10 every night It is a continuous round of pleasure, provided you don't get sick, for which I must be thankful to say I never missed a meal or a lunch, and for which I am indebt­ ed to a friend and neighbor at home, who advised me to suck a lemon each day, which was done, and I will say' in this case it paid to be a sucker.

It is only a few years since the salary of the Harvard office exceeded that of Woodstock by several hundred dollars, which shows how Woodstock has outstripped her big neighbor on the northwest.

Waukegan Gazette, Thursday, Jnne 31: While driving along in a buggy this morning, just the other side of the viadnct in Gnrnee, two men met a band of traveling gypsies^ who accosted them, asking to tell their fortunes. The men did not care anything about havitig their fortunes told, and so expressed themselves, but one of the gypsies, a woman, was so persistent that at last one of the men consented to have his palm read for the munificent sum of five cents. Alighting from the buggy, he drew his purse from bis pocket with one hand, holding out the other handr palm upward, to have bis fortune fore­ told. Nd sooner, however, had the wo­ man caught sight of the well filled wallet, than she made a grab for it, snatching it from his grasp and started to run away. The man was not to be taken in so easily, however, and pur­ suing the woman, he seized her by the hair, recovering his purse. He returned to his bnggy, and was not a moment too soon, for the men in the gypsy band Btarted in pursuit of him and if he had been caught, he might have been se­ verely dealt with. Whipping up their horse, they managed to outdistance their pursuers, who followed them for some distance.

It may be a surprise to many to leftrn that a severe cold may be completely broken up in one or two days' time. To do this, however, prompt action is nec­ essary. The first symptoms of a cold are a loud; dry cough, a profuse watery discharge from the nose, and ft thin white costing on the tongue. When Chamberlain's cough remedy is taken every hour on the first appearance of these symptons it counteracts the efiect of a cold and restores the system to a healthy condition in a day or two.
