EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. The annual mission feat, given under the anspicses of the German Lutheran churches of this section, was held in Hanly's woods last Sunday, and despite the threatening weather was very well attended, hundreds of visitors coming from Dundee, Algonquin, "Cary, Crystal Lake and Woodstock. A large number of the visitors Came on the 11:14 train, while most of the Crystal Lake people drove up. The Crystal Lake brass band, made np of a number of fine musicians, ar­ rived at the scene of acti vity at an early hour and filled the air with sweet mel­ odies duriug the entire day. The morning services were opened with a song, in which everyone present took part, followed by a most beautiful selection by the Dundee male choir. The morning sermon, which was deliv­ ered by the Rev. Donnenfeld, former pastor of the Woodstock Lutheran church, bnt who now holds a charge near Chicago, came next. At the con­ clusion of the sermon the Dundee male choir again favored the gathering with a selection, after which lunch was par­ taken of. The afternoon services, which began at 2:15 o'clock, were opened by a song by the entire gathering. The Dundee mixed chuir then rendered a song, which was followed by a sermon by the Rev. Koenert of Crystal Lake. The services were closed with a selection by the mixed choir and music by the band. * A collection was taken during the day, to which all responded quite liber­ ally. The day's festivities passed off in a most orderly manner and was heartily enjoyed by all present. The next an­ nual meeting will in all probability take place at Woodstock. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY AND r ADJACENT COUNTIES. Why Mo Dog Llcetitte? According to City Clerk Stoffel's books there has not been a dog license issnsd since 1904. In 1904 the dog license ordinance was strictly enforced and as a result dogs were a scarcity in the village, only thirteen licenses having been taken out during the year. All dogs found rnnning at large without the necessary license^Jag were shot by the village officers and a great nnisance was thereby done away with. During 1905, 1906 and thus far this year not a license has been issued, with the conse­ quence that McHenry is again alive with dogs, mostly worthless curs. We will admit that there are a few well- bred dogs owned by McHenry citizens and these, in most every instance, are kept close watch of. Why would it not be well for our village authorities to again instruct our village>marshals to shoot all unlicensed dogs found rnnning at large on the streets of this village and thus do away with the nuisance once more. The citizens will appreciate it. Dance at Stoffel'*. Another social dance will take place at Stoffel's hall next Saturday evening, July 20., Floor committee: West Mc­ Henry, John Hunter; McHenry, Arthur Bickler; Woodstock, Otto Sabs; Wau­ conda, C.

The Tigers will m«et the Cherry Valley team on the McHenry diamond next Sunday afternoon General ad­ mission, 25 cents; children, 15 cents; ladies free. Mo More Regular Trips. Capt. S. M. Walker announces that no more regular trips to Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake will be made by the Nav­ igator, lack of patronage being directly responsible for the step thus taken by the captain. Hereaftet trips will be made by special appointment only, and those desiring to make a trip will be well cared for by calling op the cap­ tain at his home up the river. Bis tel­ ephone number is 204. Kntertalned mt Wauconda. A jolly crowd of young people drove to Wauconda on Sunday, Juiy 7, where they very pleasantly surprised Mr. and Mrs. Johu Brown. Those who made up the party were: Misses Anna Kenne­ beck, Christina Justen, May me Stilling. Christina Meyers, Lizzie Stilling, Katie Kennebeck; Messrs. G. C. Boley, Henry Stilling, Mike Justen, Ben Stilling, John Degen and Nick Kentfebeck. Boy Bitten by Do*. Paul Armstrong, Jr., son of Paul Armstrong, Sr., of Emerald Park was qnite severely bitten on the left leg by a dog one day last week. While the dog was not mad, the accident may have proven more serious than it did, had not the most strict and immediate medical attention been given the boy. Under the care of Dr. Fegers the young man came ont of it all right. And still no muzzles! A iltt«cell»n«nui) AaMrtncnt of New. Items lit Condensed Form For CoaTW- l«n«e of Busy People.

Anrora labor forces will hold their annual Labor day picnic at Riverside park. Elgin and 'Joliet assemblies are invited aud will go. During a recent evening the store of Elmer Hammond at Harvard was en tered and $85 in money, some cigars and other goods stolen. Otto Haas, who has during the past three years conducted a bakery at the county seat, has closed his business there. Lack of patronage is given as the cause. A Woodstock grocer loaded some figs with cayenne pepper, put them in a conspicuous place, and has not b*en troubled with "samplers" since. He gave them a hot sample. I. N. Adriaifof Huntley is the "straw­ berry king" of McHenry county. He had eleven acres' of them and disposed of nearly all of his crop to Elgin parties, some days delivering as many as (1,000 quarts. The stores of Woodstock will be closed every Tuesday and Friday evening, ex­ cept factory pay nights, during the summer season, thus giving the clerks a chance to enjoy a part of the summer evenings. There will be no" morionrreet sweep­ ing in Elgin on Sunday. Hereafter the streetsweepers of the city will work but six nights a week, and the pavements of the downtown district will remain un­ disturbed from Saturday night until Monday night. A. J. Stevens, a young crook from Janesville, Wis., was arrested at Har­ vard last week on a charge of check forging. He had worked business men at Lake Geneva, Fontana and Wal­ worth before going to Harvard, where he was captured by Marshal Bnrke. Summer coughs and colds yield at once to Bee's Laxative Cough Syrup.

The boys came home Fri­ day night, highly elated with theif sue cess and are now ready to play any nine of their age in the county. Died, July 1, 1882, at Woodetoek, New Brunswick, Mrs. F. Augusta Par­ sons, wife of E. R. Parsons and sister of Hon. F. K. Granger. Mr. and Mrs. Parsons were formerly residents of this village. The deceased had suffered ill health for some time and had returned to the home of her early married life, where she died suddenly at the above •tkted time. The depot in this village was Tirokeu into on Saturday night last and several express packages broken into and goods taken to the value of perhaps $100. En­ trance was effected by cntting ont a window on the south end of the depot The office was ransacked, probably look­ ing for money, which, not finding, the thief or thieves turned their attention to the express bundles. A package of clothing for Henry Rogers, Volo, was taken, a package containing a coat and vest belonging to Frank Kern, an em­ ploye of this office, and a lot of cigars belonging to G. W. Besley and Jos. Wiedemann. On Monday a part of the goods, in a damaged condition, and an empty cigar box were found in a pile of old ties towards Nunda. It was prob­ ably the work of tramps, as several were seen around here the day before. SUMMER RESORT DOINGS AT PISTAKEE BAY AND OTHER RESORTS. SAILING, SAILING. Four McHenry Young People Get insett­ ing When Boat Sinks. What wonld yon do if yon were a young lady and belonged to the M. M M. club aud you were invited to take a sail with two young gentlemen friends who have yet to learn the secrets of sailing a skiff? Well, in this particular instance does not matter much what you would do. At any rate, the invitation was extended to two young lady members of the M. M. M. club who spent Sun day on Fox river near Emerald Park The invitation was at once accepted and before many moments had passed the skiff was seen gentlygliding the water of the beautiful Fox. The quartet were enjoying the ride immensely until the signal was given for the turn, and here is where the trouble took place. They made the turn all right, but in doing so the boat dipped a few (?) buckets of water, the weight of which naturally sent the sailors to the bottom of the Fox. The water being abqpt five feet deep at this point, it gave the sailors ample chance to get a good soaking be­ fore being rescued by the life-saving crew of Camp No. 4-11-44. . The accident proved quite a joke to those who witnessed it, and to the sail­ ors as well, but the girls say that there will be no more sailing for them, for a while, at least. Hot soup was used as the restorative. Sailing, sailing, over the beautiful Fox, etc. Mara Clone to Karth.

Says a writer in the Tribune vacation story column: While out at Fox Lake in the early part of May, 1905, my wife and I were fishing in front of Lippin- cott's for perch, as we had been fishing for bass without success all morning. We were anchored and had toveral poles out. On one of them I bad a frog, paying more attention to the lines baited with worms, when in a little while I saw the liue on which the frog was, bent almost in two. I dropped my line and got hold of the other pole, when to my surprise I saw a large fish, which turned and twiBted and finally broke away. Of course I was disap­ pointed. After half an hour I picked up anchor and was slowly rowing back and trolling to the hotel when a jerk on the line told me something was on the hook. I slowly pulled in and when I landed the fish 1 saw something sticking out of bis large mouth, and it was nothing more nor less than the same identical hook that he broke away from while still fishing. It turned ont to be a fifteen pound pickerel. CHARLES NORDQUIST DEAD. Henigi jkmsel|«d «( Hta In Wfomiac. The people of McHenry and vicinity were very much shocked last Thursday afternoon upon receiving the sad news announcing the death of Charles Nord­ quist, who was overcome by gas in a mine at Cokeville, Wyoming. The shock came like a thunderbolt from a blue sky to the people of this viftagpy and especially was it a most sad blow to parents, brother knd sisters. In company with a party of prospect­ ors, be was exploring a copper mine at the above named place. A comrade fell into a holt and Mr, Nordquist risked his life in a futile attempt to rescue his companion, for ooth lives were lost, Mrs. Nordquist and little son, who were with the former's sister at Horton, Kan., left immediately upon the receipt of the message, and found the sad news only too true, it was found necessary that the burial take place at once, and both bodies were laid to rest in the little town in southwestern Wyoming. Mr. Nordquist left McHenry some seven years ago, going to West Superior, Wis., and from there to Minneapolis, Minn. On Juue 8, 1903, he was united in marriage to Miss Loua Rogers at Minneapolis. After his marriage he moved to Victor, Col, where they re­ mained a short time, going from there to Portland, Ore. in the summer of 1905 they returned to Colorado, settling at Elkton, where he became interested in mining, and which occupation he has followed continuously ever sinew.

Johu bad been attend­ ing St, Fraucis collegj^at Quiucy, III., and came home for his summer vaca tion only a few weeks ago. He was taken sick only a week previous kKhis death, but owing to the fact that he was always a most quiet young man, he may have been suffering for some time without letting bis friends or folks know of his trouble until he was forced to take to his bed. The dread cause of his death was osteo-myelitis. Dr. Nye of Johnsburgh and Fegers of McHenry performed an operation on the young man last Saturday, but to no avail, aud the yo.nug man passed peacefully away as above mentioned. The funeral took place from Sti John's Catholic church at Johnsburgh yesterday morning at nine o'elock, the Rev. Beck officiating. Itreak* Arm.
