Reser LMTM to Take Chars* West Chicago Plaat. of The first of November saw many changes at the local plant of the Borden Milk company. J. J. Reser, who has been superintendent ot the plant ever since its erection, has been transferred to West Chicago, where the company is now erecting a large new plant and of which Mr. Reser will be superintendent when completed. He and his family have already moved to their new home and we are truly sorry to lose this good family from our midst. Mr. Reser's place as superintendent here is being filled by Harvey E. Price, who, like Mr. Reser, has been a faithful employe of the company for a number of years. Frank F. Block takes the responsibilities of bookkeeper and milk inspector, the position formerly held by Mr. Price. Among the late improve­ ments at the factory is the removal of one of the old boilers, which, - ii-ia. ex­ pected, will be replaced with a new one. The new addition to the plant will soon be occupied by the bottle washing de- par^pent. LINGERING COLD. £ 1. * fjf*- jf* Withstood Other Treatment bat Quickly Cared by Chamberlain'* Congh Remedy.

Henry Schaefer entered the fifth grade Monday.' Twenty-two • tuition pupils are now enrolled We are glad to see Florence Carey back again. At the board meeting last week, Mr. Cristy, in ex-member of the board, was a welcome, tho unexpected, caller. Our list of visitors during the past month has been rather meager. We would like for our friends to come to see us. Diphtheria has occasioned quite con­ siderable comment this week, necessi­ tating the absence of some of our beet pupils from the lower grades. The primary room won the picture for the best showing in attendance dur­ ing the past month, but an epidemic of tardiness has appeared among them this week. A Thanksgiving program is under way down stairs which promises to be well worth the attention of those who shall be fortunate enough to receive an invitation. The oil-cloth designs which the three lower rooms have been making are real­ ly qnite creditable work for their years. They are becoming able to draw straight lines, measure off equal distances with a ruler and produce some good color effects. The preliminary session of the busi­ ness class last week showed thirty-seven enrolled, with the various traded and line* of industry fairly represented Choosing of locations was tbe order of the evening. Allotments have been made and announcements will be made to those interested sometime this week. The first regular session will be held next week, at which time the real es­ tate office will be prepared to write and execute the necessary deeds and leases, the Students' Commercial bank will be prepared to handle all its business, and each one is expected to find all he can do.

Only for the fortunate visit of J. B. Wheeler, bookkeeper for the Wilbur Lumber company, to the local office last Saturday evening, McHenry would have been a few hard-earned dollars shy on Sunday morning. Mr. Wheeler is in the office quite fre­ quently evenings, adjusting his books, and with this intention in view he, ac­ companied by his wife, started for the office last Saturday evening, arriving there about eight o'clock, and just in time to catch a burglar who was about to begin his evoningr's operations. Upon turning on the electric current, Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler were quite sur­ prised to find the unexpected visitor standing in the office, with bis hands in his pockets, appearing as unconcerned as could be. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler at once began to question him as to what he was doing there and who he was, in answer to which he responded by saying that he had found the front door to the office unlocked and had merely stepped in to avoid being seen by a couple of girls with whom he had made a date for the evening, but, thru unforeseen circumstances, was unable~te fill. He seemed quite anxious to have his ques­ tioners understand that uis home was in McHeary and that he h&d at differ­ ent times ordered coal from Mr. Wheel­ er for his mother, who hedeelared lived just opposite the Riverside hotel. Dur­ ing the con versation the telephone bell rang and while Mr. Wheeler was an­ swering the call Mr. Burglar made his escape thru the side door, leaving his tools, consisting of revolver, dark lan­ tern, etc., on a pile of lumber, where they were afterwards found by Mr. Wheeler. Marshal Walsh was at onoe notified aud a thoro search of the wes't side of town was made, but* without result. Learning that a Btranger had registered at the Park hotel during the fore part of the evening, the searching party at once maue their way to the hotel, where they were informed by Mrs. Dermont that the mysterious boarder had made a hasty departure about half an hour previous. Going to the livery barn across the street they were informed that the stranger had engaged a driver and rig, to be driven to Crystal Lake. At this stage Marshal Walsh lost no time in notifying Marshal Henderson at Nunda to be on the lookottt for the rig when they drove in. Arriviqg at Crystal Lake, Mr. Bur­ glar, without being detected, at onoe made his way to a hardware store, where he purchased a new set of tools. After carefnlly hiding these under a wooden sidewalk, his next step was to engage a room at a local hotel, where be was nabbed by Marshal Henderson. Marshal Walsh was at once notified of the capture, and about three o'clock Sunday morning Mr. Burglar was seen peering from within the cells of the village bastile. On Monday afternoOn the burglar waived examination before Justice Mead and was bound over to the grand jury under bonds of $1,000. Failing to give bonds, the prisoner was taken to the county jail at Woodstock Tuesday to await the action of the January term of the circuit court. The prisoner is a young man, prob­ ably not OV<SE twenty-one or twenty-two enteen. He had his night's work well laid out, as since his capture it has b^en learned that he had made no less than two or three visits to McHenry during the week. His first appearance at tbe Park hotel was last Friday, where he registered for the day. His next visit to tbe hotel was on Saturday afterngon, when he made arrangements with Mrs. Dermont to stay over Sunday. Wbile at tbe hotel he sought a great deal of valuable information which would help him in his work here. He also made a visit to the West McHenry State bank, where, we understand, he had an inter­ esting talk .with (Cashier Stenger. His first source to start a conversation with the cashier was to ask >or a five-dollar bill for some small change. He then beg&n to question Mr. Stenger in regard to the business, etc. Mr. Stenger being a stranger to most of eur people, thought the gentlemen of many ques­ tions was one of our townsmen and answered his questions in his usual ac­ commodating way, never entertaining the thought that he was "putting a bur­ glar wise." After he had gained a few points in this respect the visitor politely made his departure for the hotel, where most likely, he at once set to work to perfect his evening's plans from the valuable information received. a little praise is due Mar­ sh# Walsh for the speedy capture of miscreant and it will serve as a fair arning to others to keep away from McHenry. While the thief would have en rewarded with an empty till at e lumber office there is no telling how ny other places would bave been entered during the night. No money is at the office of the Wilbtjr r Co. over night. will probably serve as a good ex­ ample for our citizens to be on tbe con­ stant lookout for such people. We must say that McHenry has been very fortu­ nate, indeed. While many of the towns around us have yielded to the burglar's EXCHANGE CLEAMNC3. HAPPENING8 IN M'HENRY AND ADJACENT COUNTIE8.

"About fonr years ago I wrote you. stating that I had been en­ tirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking lees than two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick dust sediment, and pain and symp­ toms of kidney disease disappeared.

Mehring pro­ nounced the words that united Mr.' William J. Meyer and Miss Margaret King in the holy bonds of wedlock. The magnificent church was nearly filled with relatives and friends of the happy young couple. Misses Lucy Meyers and Eva King acted as brides­ maids, the groom being attended by Messrs. William Thiel and Joseph King. The bride wore a gown of white satin, with all-over net, and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. The maids were attired in salmon-pink gowns, trimmed with lace, and carried pink rosea. The groom and his attendants wore the ens ^omary black. "The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John King of Johnsburgh and has the respect and esteem of all her acquaintances. Tbe groom, young­ est son of Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Meyer, is a young man of sterling worth and in­ tegrity, possessing traits that make him a good citizen. Dinner and supper were served at the home of the bride, and the tables fairly groaned under their load of good things. As tokens of esteem, the bridal pair were presented with many beautiful gifts, both useful and ornamental. In the evening a dance was given at Ste­ phen Smith's hall in their honor. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer will commence housekeeping at once near ^phnsburgh. Thru all life's journey they will be fol­ lowed by the best wishes of hundreds of friends.

Bpeanldes Ere the merry chimes of the New Year bells will peal forth the opening of another year, Postmaster Waite will be found in handsome new quarters, which are now under way. Since the postoffioe has been raised from fourth-class to third-class Uncle Sam has found that the present quar­ ters were far too small for the rapidly growing business and Postmaster Waite was notified to seek larger and more ap­ propriate quarters, Uncle Sam allowing him $250 per year for rental of same. After looking around and considering several propositions made him, Mr. Waite has finally decided to move to quarters which the Gilbert Bros, are now in progress of fitting up for him. The new office will occupy the south end of the Gilbert block, now occupied driveway and store room. Tbe room is 20x42 and will give Postmaster Waite one of the finest offices to be found in McHenry county.
