' Lak« The men who for many years been arrested time and time again for selling liquor in the lake region without licences have at last taken steps which they feel will enable them to continue their hotel business and the haudling of beer, etc., for their Chicago customers, and Avoid heiug hauled before the oourts for fines ranging from $20 $o $200 for conducting the business, as in the past Last week a petition was prepared and presented to the county court, ask­ ing the court to call a special election to incorporate certain territory at Fox Lake into a village. This, is a step which, it is expected, will materially change the order of things in the lake region. The petition is signed by George May­ pole and many others and it is said the signers also include all the man who were recently indicted by the grand jury for maintaining nuisances and sell­ ing liquor without licenses. The men believe this last step is the only one to save them constant trouble as in the past and they hope for success. They are confident the election will car­ ry. The date for the election is not yet fixed. The territory included is such that it takes in most of sections 3, 4, 9 and Id of Grant township and includes all the hotels on the west side of the lake, part %f Crabtree island hotels on east side or Nippersink lake, east side 'of Pistakee lake as far sonth as Eagle Point. It also takes in what is known, as Fox lake village, the place where the-stores, etc, are located, but which has never been incorporated as a village. "Mf the vole is carried to incorporate the village as asked for in the petition then the men who wish to s^ll liquor will ask the village for licenses and they feel they will get them, because thdir influence will elect to office -paly such men as will grant them. The procedure is taken as a move on the part of the hotel people to put them­ selves within the law and maintain their business places in a manner similar to those run in the cities. Orvis <Sc E3d- wards represent the petitioners. • Many Thnnktt. In renewing his subscription to The Plaindealer, S. 8.

The case was a very im­ portant one, involving interesting prop­ ositions of law on the question of the employer's liability for injuries to an employe.

With the dry, cold weather of the early winter months, parents of croupy children should be on the alert for om­ inous symptoms. There is no cause for anxiety, however, when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is kept in the home. If this medicine is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even after the croupy cough has appeared, the attack may be warded off. Mrs. S. Rosinthal, of Turner, Mich., says: "We have used Chamberlain *8 Cough Remddy for our­ selves and children for several years and like it very much. I think it is,the only remedy for croup and can highly rec­ ommend it." For sale by G. W. Besley. Wo Mow Have Flagman. After many unsuccessful attempts by our village board to induce the Chicago & North Western ravlrord to install gates at the railway crossing in this village, their requests have, in part, at last been complied with by the installa­ tion of August Feltz as flagman at the Waukegani street crossing. Mr. Felta has been employed on the section gang here for over thirty years and is very much deserving of the promotion thus received. • Th«j Now Faro Food and Dr«f We are pleased to announce that Fo­ ley's Honey and Tar for loughs, colds and lung troubles is not affected by the National Pure Food and- Drug law OS it contains no opiates or other harm­ ful drugs, and we recommend it as a safe remedy for children and adults.

A team of basket ball players from McHenry, who call themselves the "In­ dependents," went to Elgin last Satur­ day evening, where they met the Elgin "Nationals" at the National ' Honse gymnasium. The locals, after an ex­ ceptionally hard battle, succeeded in nosing out a victory by the close score of 20 to 10. Considering that this was the first game the Independents bad played together this season, the victory speaks well for the boys' ability as bas­ ket ball players. The McHenry line-up was as follows: Angell. Sawyer, for­ wards; McOmber, Ponse, guards; Wheel­ er, center. This (Thursday) afternoon the Independents meet the high school team at the city hall. The teams are very evenly matched and a good game is promised. The game will be called at 2.-45 p. m„ sharp. General admis sion, 15 cents; ladies and children, 10 cents. Everybody turn ont and encour­ age the boys in their athletic sports. Are Royal Entertainer*. The card party and fried chicken sup­ per given by the Ladies' Altar and Rosary society of St. Patrick's church at the Central onera bouse last Satur­ day afternoon and evening was very well attended. The ladies proved their ability as entertainers by giving all present a most enjoyable time and also served them with the ever tempting chicken. In the card games Mrs. Susie Smith and Miss Anna McGee were awarded first and second prizes, respect­ ively, for the ladies, while the booby prise went to Miss Lillie Heimer. For the men, Jacob Jnsten carried away first honors, with Dick Walsh a 'close second, Lee Walmsley winning the booby after a most strennous struggle. After the card games a few social danc­ es were enjoyed by the yonnger element present. B. Borbans TMtMn After Fonr Tear* G. B. Bnrhans or (Carlisle Center, N Y., writes: "About four years ago I wrote you, stating thrtt I had been en­ tirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick dust sediment, and pain and symp to ins of kidney disease disappeared. 1 am glad to say that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four years that have elapsed and I am evidently enred to stay cured, and I heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Care to anyone suffering from kidney or bladder trouble." G. W. Besley. Diphtheria Claims Another. Willie, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Scheid, who reside near Griswold Lake, passed away last Wednesday, Nov. 21, after a short ill­ ness of diphtheria.

A cold taken at this time of the year is generally hard to get rid of, but it will not be able to withstand Bee's Lax­ ative Honey and Tar.

When the track is finished it will not be necessary to rnn into Crystal Lake and back out again." This is news to us at this end of the route, bnt still it may be so. The new Pure Food and Drug Law will mark it on the label of every Cough Cure containing Opium, Chloroform, or any other stupefying or poisonous drug. But this passes Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure as made for 20 years, entirely free. Dr. Shoop all along has bitterly opposed the use of all opiates or narcotics. Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure is absolutely safe even for the youngest babe--and it cares, it does not simply suppress. Get a safe and reliable Cough Cnre, by sim­ ply insisting on having Dr. Shoop's. Let the law be yonr protection. We Cheerfully recommend and sell it. N, H. Petesch. The steamer "Lotus" arrived in dock on Snnday eyening at 6 o'clock, having been out ten days. On the 13th inst.., she left Fox Lake at 3 o'clock p. in. and at the Nippersink encountered a heavy gale, which blew her onto a sand bank; high and dry, so much so that after the £torm subsided her water mark stood four inches out of the water. After getting up a good supply of ropes and tackle, digging from under her, letting water ont of the boiler, throwing over­ board about two tons of sand ballast (which she has carried the past season), she was got off on Monday afternoon, but Pistakee lake being already frozen over, it was deemed too late iri"the day to attempt a trip to McHenry. During the week Capt. Hill fought desperately with the wind and ice to get his boat through. He did not leave her nntil Thursday morning when he came down for a reinforcement of men, and on Snn­ day at sundown he had the pleasure of seeing her in o|ien water once more. It was necessary to cut a channel through a go .»d part of Pistakee lake sixteen feet wide, the ice being l'rom four to five inches thick. Before leaving the Nip­ persink the hul^ of the "Lotus" was covered with rough boards and has re­ ceived no damage whatever. • To IVhom It May Concern.

Peters, the former livery man, but now engaged in the calf buying business, has a horse which has some sprinting abilities, of which he gave ample evidence last Fri­ day. While unloading calves at the Barrington depot a southbound freight train coming at a rapid rate frightened the animal, and it started up the rail­ road tracks just abreast of the fast train. It ran ahead of the t»in to the viaduct, a mile sojjth-<»r Barrington, whehat decided tafgo into a dftch and tberebKjtf?® tM freight the right-of- way. Wrtfr thr exception of a damaged wagon no serious loss was sustained. Mr. Peters took the 7:25 a. m. train a few minutes later and followed the horse, and found it at the viaduct un­ injured.
