The Plaindealer joins their many friends in, extending congratulations FIRE ON WEST SIDE. Robert Soblessle Residence Very Mynter- IrtUHly Catches Fire Saturday K vetting. The prompt and heroic actions on the part of about fifty volunteer tire.fighters probably saved McHenry from one of the worst conflagrations imaginable early last Saturday eveuing, when tire was discovered in the home of Robert Schiessle on the West Side. The fire, which started in the west end of the structure at about five o'clock, was not discovered until the flames had gained good headway "and were rapidly spreading thruout the eutire lower floor of the house when assistance arrived. However, the prompt response to call for help, together with the good service of our water system, soon had the blare under control, and before thirty minutes nad elapsed the fire was extinguished. The origin of the blaze cannot be determined as Mr. Schiessle and fam­ ily were at Pistakee Bay at the time, where they have a summer home. The loss by fire, water and smoke will prob­ ably reach about $1,000, with no in­ surance. The greatest damage was doue by smoke and water. Carpenters went to work Monday morning repairing the damaged building and hope to have it ready for OCOUpAIK.y Hooli, MEETING AT FOX LAKE Vox River Navigable Waterway Associa­ tion to Meet There Snudaf.

The Libertyville Gas company will extend its mains to that village. Elgin policemen are hoping that they may exchange their heavy uniform coats for shirts similar to those worn by fire­ men and mail carriers. Beloit has recousidered the matter and grauted about thirty saloon licenses, much to the disgust of the citizens who thought they had elected a no license council. Libertyville has secured another new industry --the Phillips & Hicks type­ writer. cash register, adding niachiue, etc. factory by paying a bonus of f2,000 and donating a factory site. Grayslake Times: Mayor Rankin says be has the tallest corn in towu. He claims that it is fifteen feet in height. It is Mexiuau corn, he says, and it is the product of seed presented to him by au acquaintance at the corn show in Chicago. Oue night last week someone entered the Y M. C. A rooms at Woodstock and broke open the desk there, securing a small sum of money *nt1 mutilating some of the association records. As yet the officers have no clue to the persons making the depredations.^. English John and Pat were two friendly workmen who were constantly tilting, each oue tryiug to ontwit the other. "Are you good at measure­ ment?" asked John. "1 am that," said Pat quickly. "Then could you tell me how many shirts I could get out of a yard V" asked John. "SurV said Pat. "It depends on whose yard yon get in­ to. " Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard Carpenter of Lake Geneva had a miraculous escape from death recently, when the engine of their automobile exploded. They no­ ticed something wrong with the ma­ chine and got out. They had hardly -stepped to the ground when the big touring car was literally torn to pieces. Neither Mi*, and Mrs. Carpenter were injured in the least. A bookseller in Waukegan recently put a card in the window which read: "Charles Dickens' Works All Week For Two Dollars." A fellow who was in town rubbernecking around halted at the window and, after reading the sign several times, said: "Now, that's what s the matter with this country. Gol duru the idea of a man working all the week for two dollars." Harvard Herald: It is wonderful the way corn has grown dnring the last two weeks. In many places tbrUout the couuty the crop prospect is tbe best known in many years. D. H. Flavin, of Hartland, avers that he was so im­ pressed with the wonderful growth corn was making on his farm In Hartland that he measured one or two stalks at a period of 24 hours apart and that be found their growth reached five inches during that time. Wauconda Leader: Stanley Hall of Gleucoe and Chas. F. Kunzelman of Wilmitee are the envy of the piscatorial art auear us, and well they deserve to be. Wednesday morning they landed a four­ teen pound pickerel which measured just forty-four inches in length. The boys were more than an hour getting him iuto the boat after be struck and were as excited a pair of fishermen as ever rowed over the lake. Tbe young men are guests at Burton's on the east shore and Mr. Burton came over town with them to see the big fish weighed and photographed. Mrs Smith, the wife of a sailor, was so busy preparing for her husband's de- partnre on a long voyage that she had not time to attend tbe usual Sunday morning services of the church to which she belonged. So she hastily scribbled a note to tbe minister, which she intend­ ed to read: "Brother Smith going to sea, his wife desires the prayers of the congregation for his safety." Bnt she was careless in her spelling and punctu­ ation, with the results that the minister read to tbe astonished congregation as follows: "Brother Smith, going to see his wife, desires the prayers of tbe con­ gregation for his safety." Elgin Courier: A bumper crop of oats is being harvested by farmers in this section of the county, oats being the first grain to be reaped. The yield is good, averaging between thirty-five and forty bushels to tbe acre, and the grain is of good weight, well filled out. Having matured before the dry spell set in, tbe oats crop was not injured by the lack of rain. Most of the crop is already in, very few fields in this section remaining to be cut. The straw is medium heavy. Rye and wheat are also in good shape, and an average yield of each will be realized. The prospects for a good corn crop are not ao promis­ ing, on account of tbe lack of rata. MR8. MARY CHISHOLM CLACHER. Dies at Home of Her Sister, Mrs. F. C. Ctolng, In Chlcspi. Mrs. N. A. Clacher passed away at the home of her sister. Mrs. F. C. Going, at 6027 Indiana avenue, Chicago, on Thursday, Aug. 6, 1808. The deceased, wjjo was of Scotch descent, was born at Port Albert, Can., Sept. 20, 1856, being in her fifty second year at tbe time of h^r death. When but a mere child, in 1858, her parents moved to Rockford, III., which city remained her home for twenty-one years. In 1879 she moved to Chicago, where in 1894 she was united in mar­ riage to Mr. N. A. Clacher. Three years after her marriage, in 18H7, she. with her husband, moved to New York City, where she continued to, reside up until a short time before her death, when she came to Chicago to receive treatment. She was of a most loving disposition, always thinking of others' welfare and always willing to do her utmost for her friends and extend the band of sympa­ thy and love to those iu distress. Dur­ ing her sickness she, thru her patience aud courage, set forth an example of true Christian life, uever overwhelming others with her troubles or difficulties, but bravely enduring tbe ills that conld not be cured. Her remains were brought to Mc­ Henry last Sunday morning, the funeral services taking place from the M. E. church, with the Rev. E. H. Beal offici­ ating. Interment was in Woodland cemetery COMING ATTRACTION. Carl Olson as "A Priuce of Sweden" at the Central. New, fresh and bright as a copper cent fresh from the uiiut, now comes that favorite Swedish dialect comedy drama, "A Prince of Sweden " Com­ edy dramas seem to be the attractions that draw the crowds now-a days aud so far this season "A Prince of Sweden" decidedly held its own. And justly so, for the noted theatrical critics have been a unit in tbe declaration that the pretty piece takes, ranks side by side with Ole Olson and Yon Yonsou. From its first presentation to the pub­ lic, the play has proven highly success­ ful and from tbe time it left its birth­ place, its career has been one continual march of triumph. "A Prince of Sweden," always in tbe hands of a company of artists, has un­ dergone several changes, all of them for the better, and proceeds smoothly and swiftly and is destined for a long and prosperous career because it is oue of the few plays written m America that will alwayB be interesting. And the tale that the Prince of Sweden tells is amusing and interesting enough for any­ body s taste. Carl Olson, the peerless impersonator, is to be seen in the lead­ ing part, while the balance of tbe com­ pany comprise a list of talented artists. To further enliven and brighten tbe evening's performance, tbe management has added, at a great expense/ seven or eight high-class specialties, which are alone said to be doubly worth the modest price of admission to be charged for the coming engagement here. At the Central opera house, Sunday even­ ing, Aug. 16. Prices 25, 35 and 50 cents. A Large Dlsplap of Milk and Butter.

Note the premiums offered on dairy products on page 60 of the premi­ um list, and plan to make entry in this department. •*A Prluce of Sweden." After a hard day's work in tbe office, at tbe factory, behind the counter, or wherever it may be, what is more re­ freshing and restful than a hearty, wholesome laugh Y One forgets bis or her troubles and worries.

McHenry Vote Is Light as Compared With Vote of Last Town Election -Only 389 Votes Are Cast. The new primary law was given its first real test thruout the state last Sat­ urday when the voters were called upon to nominate candidates for state and county offices. Here in McHenry the vote was very light, only 302 ballots being cast, while Ringwood contributed 87 billots. Out of the 302 ballots, 242 voters called for the Republican ballot, 59 for the Demo­ cratic and one for the Socialist party. Why the vote was so light iu the local precincts is more than we can under­ stand. Some seem to labor under the impression that many of those who did not vote did not understand the new primary law and kept away from the polls for fear that they would vote for the wrong man. There were instances, too, where voters went to the polls with their minds all set as to how they would mark their ballots, but. upon reaching the polling place positively declined to make public for which party they wished to cast their vote, so conse­ quently they left the polling place with­ out casting a ballot. The votes at the two local precincts were as follows: FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR. Klugwood MrlltMiry 42 Hopkins 117 6 28 1. 39 33 38. 35. 34. 5. 9 Mason 19 Foss 72 Webster... 8 FOR (JOVERNOR.

One of the finest pickerel caught her* this season was taken from the waten of Boone creek last Saturday, when Leonard Phillips landed an eleven- pounder. The fish was one of the moat beautiful of its kind ever caught horn and measured three feet and three in­ ches in length. McHenry could well afford to hire n special officer whose duties it would tm to hold up and "pinch" every auto dri­ ver who drives his or her machine bn- yond the speed limit as set aside in Um village ordinance. We believe theflpl would be no lees than twenty arrests every day during the summer month* The premiums offered by the Mo- Henry county* fair have been greatly increased, especially on live stock and poultry, and are practically double those offered in any former year. An examination of tbe premium lists will show you that the premiums offered by this association are larger than the pre­ miums offered by any other fair in northern Illinois or southern ijconsin. Wm.
