Three new sewing machines haye already been installed in this department, The company is this season also mak­ ing a specialty on two size® of boats, namely, eighteen and twenty footer?, which are already making a great hit among prospective boat buyers, as special features are shown never before attempted in boat construction. It will pay anyone to take a trip over td the plant aud see the elegant line of boats of all sizes now in stock. At the pres­ ent time the company has over seventy boats ready for delivery and by the opening of spring hopes to have doubled this amount. The sales of the coming season are at this time very good and, in fact, are far ahead of those at this time last year. In short the season promises to be one of the best if not the best in the history of the factory. While some of onr readers B«K^ not be acquainted witti ffe great good that this factory has done for our village, we will venture at this time to'say tjiat the wages paid out 'last year by the con­ cern amounted to over llO.Oap.

All in all, the prospects for a record* breaking season for the factory are most encouraging, and every public spirited citizen who has the welfare of McHenry at heart, should begin at once and assist in boosting tKa McHenry boats.

HOUSE BREAKER 13 CAOGHf , At Phtekw After nreHMng lota ihe Wt- . rtak Coirt**** A stranger, giving his name as Fred Maet, was captured at Pistakee Bay last Monday morning after an manhunt. Philip Scbaefer, who during the win­ ter months is engaged by cottage owners at the Bay as watchman, last Snnday morning discovered that the Patrick cottage had been broken into. The watchman at once proceeded to make a search of the house and premises but the intruder was not to be found any­ where. * The following morning Mr. Schaefer's wife went over to, the Patrick cottage to clean up and to her great snrprise and horror found an ugly looking character occupying a bed room iu the up stair part of the house. The woman, greatly frightened by the unexpected discovery, ran from the house and the alarm was soon spread tbruout the entire vicinity. The stranger, seeing that he had been discovered, broke the window and shut­ ter iu the room that he was occupying, jumped to the gronud below and made a lively exit to the woods. A posse of men, consisting of Philip Sehaefer, Ren Stilling, Capt. M. J. Pit- aen, Fred Justen, John Pifzen and sons, Peter J. Freund and crew (who were working «t the Bay at the time), was made up in a lively manner and a man hunt started. After a long chat*} and search the stranger was finally landed in a shed near the mouth of the river. The man was taken to Selling's hotel and later brought to McHenry and lodged in jail by Marshal Walsh. On Wednesday morning before Justice Mead he gave his name as above stAted, and u}K>n examination was found guilty on the charge of house-breaking aud im­ mediately bound over to the grand jury aud is now confined in the connty jail at Woodstock, This is the third cottage that has been btokeo into this fall and winter.
