The bridesmaids were Miss Hattie Stewart, who wore a white silk gown, and Mrs. Nathan Clark, Jr., who was attired in pink. The best men were Under Sheriff Post and Nathan Clark. The wedding march from Lohengrin was beautifully rendered by Mrs. Alena McClure Wardle, a prominent organist of Hudson and a cousin of the bride, who rendered several other selections during the afternoon. After the cere­ mony the friends present surrounded the happy couple, extending congratu­ lations and best wishes. They received many useful and val­ uable presents. The bridal party, amid a shower of rice, old shoes and other decorations too numerous to mention, left for Hudson, where they were giyen another recep­ tion and later started on a southern trip. Capt. Beardsley sent them off in fine style by the blowing of whistles and ringing of bells when the party reached the ferry boat. Mr. Wentworth was born in this vil­ lage, W when a young man left here for the West, where he has since made his home and where he has become prominent in social and business life. He has been identified with the public affairs of his home town for many years and has a large number of staunch friends who will greatly miss him, but what is McHenry's loss is Athens' gain. Mr. Wentworth has spent many sum- 4ners here at the Stewart House and not only his old friends but the new ones he has made are delighted to hear that he js to make his future home in this town. [Hudson Republican.! Mr. and Mrs. Wentworth of Athens, a newly married couple, came to town yesterday and are staying for the pres- ect on Union street, where they are being well entertained. Last evening word got around that there was a newly married couple in town and somebody suggested that the bridegroom be given a ride in a wagon decorated with torch­ es. Others thought that a serenade would be best, and a serenade was de­ eded upon. Of all the unearthly noises ever heard in the block the racket made last evening could not be beaten. Fire- iworks added to the glory of the occa­ sion. Mr. Wentworth finally appeared aad thanked the boys for their serenade, a^d. putting*his hand into his pocket, drew forth a bill and told the young men in charge to go and get toe cream sodas with it. IMtoriouftly B«irne<t/ - - Albert Etten, who resides a. short dis­ tance south of the McHenry bridge, was seriously burned thru the explosion of gasoline near bis. home last Monday afternoon. A party of campers were out from the dity and had made their headquarters near the Etten home, and on the above mentioned day Mr. Etten delivered a chicken to the campers which had been previously ordered from hiiu. A camp tire was started near the banks or the river for the purpose of frying the chicken, and here is where Mr. Etten met with the accident which may prove more serious than was first expected. About the time the chicken had been placed in the frying pan it was discovered that the fire had appar- ently gone ont. To save time in build­ ing another, Mr. Etten, with the frying pan containing the chicken in one band and a can of gasoline in the other, pro­ ceeded to pour the contents of the can onto the wood. In an instant an ex­ plosion took place, the shock throwing the unfortunate rnau a distance of sev­ eral feet. His clothes had caught fire and before those nearest to him could extinguish the blaze the poor man's whole oody was seriously burned. Med­ ical help was at once summoned and under the care of Drs. Fegers and Fegers the victim of the pad accident is resting as well as could be expected, altho bis condition is quite serious. The sympa­ thy of the entire community is extended to him, as well as to his family, and all hope that be may recover. Fir* Cracker Explode* In Pocket. In some manner, unknown to him self, a small fire cracker exploded in the pocket of George Justen, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Justen, about nine o'clock I auf M/\V>^ay nmrning in company with other boys of hia age, was shooting off some fire crackers when the accident occurred. His left leg was quite badly burned, but the wounds, which were dreased by Dr. D. G. Wells, are not considered serious. The unfor­ tunate little fellow is resting easy and it is hoped that he will soon reooyer. A MlMtellMeonft AmorMcat of New* Item* In Condenned Form For Con Ten- tenre of Bn*jr People.

The United States poet office inspect­ ors have been looking up .the publishers and senders of obscene post cards. It is a crime to send this kind of mail There are lots of cards that the govern ment intends to have destroyed, so be' careful what you send thru the mail. The punishment for this by law is a fine of not more than $1,000 and not more than five years of hard labor, subject to the court trying the case. A Missouri woman recently rushed into a telegraph office and informed the operator that her husband had gone to St. Louis to get a banner for the Sunday school, but she had forgotten to tell him how large the banner was to be and the inscription to be placed upon it. She then wrote a telegram contain, ing the needed information and handed it to the operator. It read: "My dear James, Savoy Hotel, St. Louis: Unto us a child is born, eight feet long and two feet wide." A man by the name of Michael Ferry, employed by the C. & N. W. railway company as a dynamiter, met bis death at Cary Wednesday afternoon of last week. Ferry was engaged in drilling -to pjace a charge of dynamite, when the b$nk suddenly gave way, carrying Ferry with it, and burying him beneath the surface. Workmen set to work at once to rescue him, but altho only two or three minutes elapsed before thev brought him to the surface, he was dead, bis neck having been broken. Grayglake Times: B. J. Loftus went to Grand Rapids Monday and purchased between 50 and 60 head of cattle and among the lot was a six legged heifer calf about seven months old. The two extra legs, which are relatively the hind legs, are attached to the top of the shoulder by a heavy roll of flesh, allow ing them to swing about in any posi tion. They have grown together down to the hoofs, altbo the .bones are separ­ ate and independent of each other The limbs are developed proportionately with the rest of the animal and the entire calf is in excellent condition and made the journey,down here as well as any. Mr' Loftus intends showing the queer animal at Waukegan during the celebration. He has already had good offers for the "freak" or prodigy," but so tar he has refused to sell it One of the laws passed by the legisla­ ture that will create much interest in every county in the state is the one call­ ing for the appointment of an assistant state's attorney in each of the 102 conn ties in Illinois. The bill passed the house and senate and it is understood Governor Deneen will sign it The three circuit judgee within the counties embraced in their circuit have the nam­ ing of the assistant state's attorney in each county, which would mean that in the event of the law becoming effective, Judges Donnelly, Frost and Wright would appoint these officials for the counties of Boone, Lake, McHenry and Winnebago. Tne biii calls for a grad uated sum as an annual salary, accord ing to the size of the county, $1,000 a year being about the sum an assistant would receive in McHeqry county.

Colby of Thin Plum u United to MIm Florence StaUler. A quiet but pretty wedding, in whieh a McfJenry boy waa one of the princi­ pals, was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents at 1517 Williams street, Omaha, Neb., last week Friday after­ noon at 3 o'clock, the contracting parties being Mr. Miles A. Colby of this place and Miss Florence Stabler of Omaha. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Thomas J. Collor, pastor of the Church of the Good 8hepherd, in the presence of only a few invited relatives and friends. The couple waa attended by E. T. Morris and Miss (Joldie Schri- ver, both of Omaha, the former acting as best man while the latter was brides- maid. Following a short reception, the happy couple left at 4-80 over the Rock Island railroad for Chicago and thence to this place, arriving here last Saturday even­ ing. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ft. G Stalder of Omaha. She is an accomplished young woman and has left many dear friends at her former home. Altho a total stranger in McHenry, she will, no doubt, soon find her way into social aad church circles here. The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Colby of this place and only a short time ago came to take up his residence with his parents, after spending several years in the employ of Uncle Sam as a boy in blue. During his absence from McHenry Mr. Colby has seen a large part of this world. Be­ sides seeing a. great deal of our own country, he has also made the journey to the Philippine islands. During his army career, which covers a period of over four years, he attained high honors in the eyes of our nation's chiefs, hav­ ing been promoted to the office of cor­ poral before leaving the army. The young people have already gone to housekeeping, for the present making their home with the groom's parents, the groom having rented his father's farm for an indefinite period. The Plaindealef joins their friends here in extending congratulations. Have you seen our five and ten cent counter? If not, better call in and save money. J. J. Vycital.

The young people of Johnsburgh and vicinity will be delighted to hear that another of those good time dances is to take place at S. H. Smith's hall on Wednesday evening, July 14. These dances are winning favor among the fastidious dancers, and judging from the big crowd present at the last one held in this hall the management may look forward to a repeater on this oc­ casion. Brodie's Chicago orchestra, which made such a decided hit with the dancers on their last appearance at this place, will again be on hand with all the very latest selections. Better make arrangements at once to be present. To miss it is to regret it Dance tickets only 50c. A general invitation is ex­ tended to all. Merman Boy* Play Rings Around Ke I Henry Bines And Are Kaajr Victors tn Last Sunday's Contest. We like yon, Blues, but, oh, you Ger­ man boys! Well, the Johneburgh team has at last regained those long-lost' laurels and now feels that it may be classed with the McHenry Blues so far as the great national game is concerned. These two teams met on the Johns­ burgh diamond last Sunday afternoon for their second encounter of the season, and when the amoke of the battle had cleared the field after the contest, tbo score keepers announced Johnsburgh the winners by a score of 7 to 0. McHenry was clearly outclassed in every department of the game, Johns­ burgh showing itself superior in fielding, hittiug and good judgment So far was the McHenry team out* classed that room for comparison is very much limited. Miller, who pitched for Johnsburgh was|never in better trim than he die played in this particular game, his masterly twirling keeping the visiting team far beyond the danger point dur­ ing the entire exhibition. This state­ ment is very clearly verified when we say that only two McHenry ites reached third base during the game, while one other man succeeded in reaching second. In fact only thirty McHenry players faced Miller. Bending, who did the pitching for Mo­ Henry, was anything but in form. While only seven hits are registered against him, the fact that he passed five of the opposing batsmen, together with two wild pitches,' demonstrated beyond doubt that it was an off day for him. This, together with ragged support at the most critical ^t^gea of the game, made it easy going for the heroes of tbe day. The German boys started the contest with a rush, four runners crossing the home plate durinjg the opening round. Niesen, the first man up for Johns­ burgh, drew a base on balls, stole second and came home on Nell's single, Nell going to second to the throw-in to the plate to catch Niesen. John Miller struck out. Joe Miller connected for a single, the hit scoring Nell. Joe went to second on tbe throw-in to catch Nell at the plate. The base runner was a moment later caught in his attempt to steal third. Schaefer singled and went to third when Ben Freund sent a sizzler thru Feltz. Ben Freund stole second and two runners came home on John Frennd's single to right The inning came to a close when P. Freund struck out Smith opened the second session by being passed to first on four wide ones. He journeyed on to second on a wild pitch. Niesen was also passed, but was caught at second when Nell sent a roller to Gallaher, the play allowing Smith to reach home. Nell stole second and went to third on a wild pitch and trotted home on John Miller's sacrifice to Heimer. Joe Miller was safe at first on Bonding's error, and the second session closed with a strike-out by Schaefer. The seventh and last tally of the day was registered in the seventh inning. Joe Miller started tbe doings of this round by flying out to Engeln. Schaefer singled, stole second and was sacrificed to third by Ben Freund. John Freund sent a hot one thru Fqltz and the base runner crossed the pan. "Weimer" closed the inning by grounding to Heimer. MoHenry had bnt oi|e chanee to score during the entire contest and' that chance was thrown away. Feltz opened the proceedings with the first hit pf the game for McHenry. Engeln, in his at tempt to lay on? down, sent a wee fly to the pitcher. Bending Bingled, hia hit sending Feltz to the third. At this stage, Miller showed the fans that he was right by whiffing Heimer and Pet erson. The tabulated score follows: QUARTER OF A CENTURY. Items Clipped from The Plalndealer ot Jnly 9, 1S84. Married, in Woodstock, III., Wednes­ day, July 2, 1883, by Rev. Geo. K. Hoover, Mr. Charlie B. Hubbard to Effie Tilton, all of McHenry. The excursion to Fox Lake on Sunday last by the steamer "Mary Griswold" was "taken in" by between twenty and thirty and all report a good time. We learn that burglars made a visit to the home of E. J, Hanly on Sunday night last and got away with some $15 in money. It is supposed that they gained an entrance during the tempo­ rary absence of the family in the eveu- ing, and secreting themselves awaited until they had gone to bed and every­ thing was quiet when they put in their thievish work. There is no clue to the perpetrators. The Independence party at the River­ side House, in this village, notwith­ standing the shortness of the notice, was a success in every particular. One hundred and two numbers were sold, and everything passed off in the most quiet and orderly manner. The music by Mudgett's full band, six pieces, was pronounced by all to be as good as any ever heard in this section. The party closed at 5 a. in., and all went home well pleased with the 4th of July party of 1884 at the Riverside. A game of base ball was played in this village on the 4th between the Lake View Unions of Chicago and a picked nine from this village and proved a very interesting, and under the circumstanc­ es, a well played game. The picked nine had not played a game before this year, and some of them not for two or three years, while their opponents were not only good ball tossers but in perfect practice. Ig#ur boys went to work, how­ ever. with a will and at the olose the score stood 17 to 14, in favor of tbe Lake View Unions. The visiting club were all young men not over twenty years of age, and were not only good ball players but gentlemen in every sense of the word and our boys are unanimous in their praise of them, An­ other game was played in the forenoon between the East and West Sides, which was won by the East Side by a score of 89 to 16. The celebration in McHenry on Fri­ day last was, notwithstanding the shortness of the notice, a success in every particular. The heavy rains of the night before and the consequent threatening weather of the entire fore­ noon of the 4th no doubt kept many away who otherwise would have been here, but nevertheless there was a large crowd, the beautiful grove in the driv­ ing park, where the celebration was held, being packed almost the entire day. The exercises were opened about 11 o'clock by music by the band, fol­ lowed by some excellent singing, by the Glee clnb, prayer by the Rev. Mr. Searl, reading of the Declaration of Independ ence by Dr. H. T. Brown, after which Judge B. N. Smith of Woodstock, the orator of the day, was introduced. His address was clear, logical and patriotic. He was followed by the Hon. Richard Bishop in a few well timed remarks, after which the exercises at the stand closed and the picnic dinner came next in order. Tbe trotting and base ball games came off in their order, altho the raiiis had made the new track so heavy that not much interest was taken in that direction. Taken all in all, our citizens have no cause to feel ashamed of the day's exercises, and we believe all who were here went home well pleased. For everything in farm machinery see ns. Wm. Stoffel.

While driving down Main street Tues day afternoon, the steering wheel on Hon. Wm. Lorimer's run-about auto suddenly broke, leaving the occupants, Miss Loretta Lorimer and Miss Fitz­ gerald. without the least bit of control over tbe machine, and before the driver, Miss Lorimer. could bring the auto to a stop the machine had dashed up against a tree near the E E Bassett residence. Tbe jolt threw Miss Fitzgerald otj,t with considerable force, while Miss Lorimer escaped a similar fate by clinging to the ateering wheel. Neither of the young ladies was seriously injured, altho both were given a bad ecare. Bead Tbe Plaiudaalsr "wa«*"fda. JOHNHBUHOH. Niesen, 1st b Smith, 2nd b John Miller, 1 f . P.
