EXCHANGE CLEANINGS* The members and prospective mem bers of the McHenry Power Boat dub L are requested to meet at the McHenry »".«•» Pleasure club's room nest Saturday evening, Nov. 20, at 7:80 o'clock, for the election of officers and*-caring for all other business that may come before the meeting. The clnb, after only a few months' existence, has already attaint a mem­ bership of nearly seventy, and with the annexation of all prospective members; the clnb should be one hundred strong before another sntnmer rolls around. Taking into consideration that the field for such a club here is limited, the showing made by the club is a most gratifying one and should be encouraged by every loyal citicen of McHenry. The forming of this clnb means more to McHenry than is Conceived by the av­ erage person, as it means more people, greater activity, and last, bat not least, one of the best advertisements that Mc Henry could possibly establish The clnb members are already con­ sidering the advisability of building a spacious pavilion and clnb house ou the west shore of Fox river here, and if the present plans do not fail just such a building will grace McHenry next sum­ mer. The plan of the members is to float enough bonds among the club members at five dollars each to war­ rant the construction of such a build­ ing. Not only would this give the clnb a home of its own where ft could hold dances, entertainments, etc., but it would prove a good investment for those purchasing bonds, as a building of this nature could be rented for almost any public use during the entire year. This question will undoubtedly come before the meeting next Saturday even­ ing and if you favor the idea be on hand to lend your suggestion. Every little bit helps, you know. The Plaindealer can see nothing but success for the new boat club and can, at this time, almost assure its readers that the clnb bouse plan will be a go and that the number of members trill reach the one hundred mark before the balmy breezes blow once more. Let's all join hands and boost this social as well as business enterprise. HAPPENINGS IN ftd'HENR? ADJACENT COUNTIE8.

The sixth year has been having some practical work in arithmetic this week, each pupil bringing one from home. This week's test is the first of three regular tests for the year. These tests do not alone determine the pupil's proficiency, but a failure in all three will mean a failure for the year, un doubted )y. Since the institution of these teste the pupils have been steadily gaining iu their ability to meet tbera. This time uuusual stress is laid upon the work in arithmetic. It is planned to have a basket ball game on next week Satnrday evening "old timers" against the high school. The girls also expect to play a game on that evening. The girls are planning t<fserve supper in the scboolhouse base ment after the game. Let everybody who is interested in basket ball come: out to this game and give the boys and girls encouragement at the beginning of the year. Their sscond game is < pec ted to be with the Harvard high school, the first week in December. A|t*r«MH> Card ClaU Organised.

Walsh, who acted fU p**•£ a# iiostd&s on this occasion, «*«. ceived her guests in her usual pleasing manner, and when the time for depart­ ure bad come the guests were more than elated over the treatment received from the hostess and the signal of success of their first meeting.

Genoa Jninftion Times: Last week Floyd Dennis received a blooded ooon- dog from Indiana The boys have been out Several eveninw and have tried out the dog thoroly. On the .first night the dog treed an old coon, the weight of which exceeded thirty ponnds. The next evening a possum wa* captured. The latter is something strange for this country as they are seldom seen around here. Floyd is well pleased with his purobase and will keep the dog. Liberty villa Independent: Mrs. Char ity Ranght of Volo is visiting this weea at the home of her son, Ambrose Ranght, and family. She returned l»st Friday from Ctshtnere, Wash , where she has been visiting rela(ives for the past two months. She brought with her some fine specimens of Washington apples and several fine potatoes. Both apples and potatoes are extremely large, but, are sound and flawless and perfect in every respect. They have been on exhibition in the window of the Inde pendent office the past week and have attracted much attention. The organization of a company to manufacture in Woodstock the "tap ping chuck" now seems a certainty. Enough stock has been subscribed by citizens to warrant the organizers to proceed with the foundation of the company and make plans for getting the factory under way. A tapping chuek is a tool nsed by machinists in drilling into iron or steel. Mr. Pro ennier's chuck is a vast improvement over any tool of that kind which has been heretofore produced and the in ventor believes that it will have a ready sale after being placed on the market. It is also the intention of the ooin- pauy to manufacture a number of other tools aud articles of ready sale to machinists aud the prospects are that in a short time Woodstock will have an­ other successful industry established h e r e . x , / The Northwestern railway ha* just added about 300 new engines to its equipment. Ten of the new engines have ueeu upuu the main line for the last few days and are attracting consid­ erable attention. They are all paasen ger engines of unusual size and modern pattern. They are all class E engines with six drivers, low smokestack* and have a very neat and fine appearance. These engines are meant for passenger service, but the railroad men say they are being limbered up in the freight ser­ vice before being put on regular passen­ ger work, where certain scheddles have to be made. They are being much ad­ mired and the engineelra aad firemen seem to feel proud of them. Sixty five more of them are to be limbered up in this way on the main lines, where they can be tested for speed and any little imperfections discovered before they get too far from repair shops. The ^pther 125 are freight engines and they are expected to make their appearance soou. Crystal Lake Herald: There is miss­ ing from the Clyde* Wingate home in Nnnda township $160 cash, the savings of the hired man, Mike Kartis, and also there is no trace to be found of Cecil Smith, a thirteen year old boy, employed at the Wingate home. Both disappeared Sunday. Kartis has been in the employ of Mr. Wingate for a year and a half and Cecil Smith is a boy picked up in the juvenile court in Chicago and sent to the Wingate home three months ago. Kartis became HUB picions of the boy and asked Mrs. Wing ate to keep his savings for him. Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Wingate and family went away to spend the day and Kartis aud the boy drove to Crystal Lake. Soon the boy excused himself to Kartis, saying he wonld run around town a little and when ready to go home would walk. That was the last seen of him, aad when the hired man and the Wingate family reached home they found the fl60 in bills missing. The money wae kept in a purse, aud locked in a bureau drawer. The porse tvas left, only the money being taken Detective Benthusen and Mr. &*rtis are m Chicago looking for the boy and his Yassday's W&ukegan Gux«tfe|.] 1. The Wankegan, Rockford & Elgin Traction Co. shall pay the city a bonus of payable in yearly install- tneuts beginning at the end «f fifteen years. 3 The franchise of the Wankegan, Rockford & Elgin Traction Co. shall be voided at the end of tweuty years, with­ out action by the council, if every con­ dition is not lived up to 8. The Wankegan, Rockford & Elgin Traction Co shall agree to lay another track regard leas, of the fact that it may acquire the present Washington street track. . ________ The above are the three important t'haugea iu the proposed Wankegan, Rockford & Elgin Traction Co's fran­ chise which the city pnt up to Robert D Wynu, manager and promoter of the railiosd, at thh meeting of the city council last evening, and all were ac­ cepted by Mr. Wyun. Despite his will­ ingness to have these clauses Inserted, the members of the council decided to put the matter of passing the ordinance over to next Monday night, when a special meeting will be called. "What am I to expect at that meet­ ing!" asked Mr. Wyttn. While the uiembei-s would not aaaert that the measure would be put thru, their manner iudicated that they had such actiou in tuind Mr Wynu asked thfttr* straw vote be taken last night in order that be might see the sentiment of the council, butaeveral of the alder­ men were opposed to this action. \ "If yon give me positive assurance that you will pass the ordinance next Monday night, I will at once take steps to start work on the road," Mr. Wynn said "But with any uncertainty I do not care to be placed in the position of hiring an engineer at an expenditure of f7f>0 and then to have the whole matter fall thru. If an engineer is put to work on Wednesday of this week he will have to go over the proposed course and make his report by next Monday night. It is generally it-it thai^ the three clauses insisted npon by the oounoil are good onee. The provision that the company shall pay the'lply a bonus of |75,000, begin ning at the end of fifteen years, was made in order that the company shall pay the oity something for the right to run over the Washington street culvert. It is pointed ont that the culvert was filled in by the city at a great expendi­ ture of money and that the fact that it is here relieves the railroad company of building an expensive cnlvert or trestle of their own. The aldermen expressed the opinion that the railroad was get­ ting the privilege at a very reasonable figure. In the first place the city insisted that the Wynu road should pay for the pav­ ing of Washington street from curb to curb, but the suggestion of the bonus met with more favor on the part of the aldermen. In addition to the cash sur­ render the company agrees to pa ye either nine or eighteen feet, the matter to be decided on the basis as to whether the company has single or double tracks. The company also agrees to maintain its proportion of the paviag during the life of its franchise. The clause with regard to the natural aunailment of the franchise at the end of tweuty years in case every clause is not lived np to is also considered a good one. It is possible that at the end of twenty years the company may not have lived up to all of its agreements, but the council hesitates to take any action because of the popular demand for the road. With the latest clause in­ serted the council wonld have to take no action, the franchise being voided natnralty. The third clause, inquiring that with­ out regard to the fact that the road may acquire the present Wankegan & Fox Lake railroad that it must build another track on Washington street, is to in­ sure double track service. Otherwise, it would be possible for the Wankegan, Rockford & Elgiu Traction Co., if it is so desired, to acquire the present track on Washington street and then declare that the business did not warrant of an­ other track being laid. It is believed there will he little or no opposition to the ordinance when it is presented for passage next Monday night. The city has dictated every term in the franchise to suit its own interests and feels, for the most part, that nothing can lie gained by farther delay in the inafwr.

FARMERS AND TEACHER8 to It act at City Ball, Woodstock, Satur­ day, November SO. IlllaolM LakM Light and Pow«r Company the New Owner*--Now Company Owns Many Plant*. That the citizens of McHenry and the surrounding country will not suffer by the change in ownership of the Mc­ Henry Electric Service company, which was recently purchased by the Illinois Lakes Light and Power company, is as­ sured when it becomes known that the new company is a million dollar concern and promises to develop into one of the biggest lighting systems in the state. The new company took posession of the i McHenry plant the first day of vthis month and has placed competent men in charge here who will endeavor to give this village the wry best of service at all times. The company, which is new to onr people, hopes to give the people of this village all night service within a very short time and just us soon as business will warrant will adopt the twenty fonr hour service here. That the com pany means business may be seen by the manner in which they are doing things. Only a short time ago this same company purchased the light plants at Harrington and Crystal Lake and have also secured franchisee to fnrnish light and power in the following villages in this vicinity: Mount Prospect, Pala­ tine, Arlington Heights, Harrington, Lake Zurich, Cary, North Crystal Lake, Crystal Lake and McHenry. The in­ tention of the company is to reconstruct and rebuild the old plants wherever necessary, establish a large generating plant with sub stations at proper points and furnish light and power to all the towns and places and also to the farmers along the connecting lines This means that the distribution of electricity tbrn- out the territory covered by this com­ pany will be carried on in about the same manner as the telephone service la today. Edward Lake, who at the present time has full charge of the McHenry plant, iufoiiii* a PlaSndenler scribe that his company hopes to have their liues ready to furnish light to residents along Fox river and Pistakee by the time that the 1910 summer season opens up. a con­ venience that resorters in this vicinity have never before enjoyed, and one that will be highly appreciated by the thou­ sands who spend their idle time here each snmmer. In the pnrcbase of the McHenry plant the company has gained possession of the most up to-date and newest system that the company has thus far added to its list. With a thoroly reliable company now in possession of the McHenry plant and with the assurance of the best ser­ vice that hnman skill is able to deliver, the people of McHenry should not hesi­ tate one moment in having places of business and residences wired for elec­ tricity. The manager of the local plant maybe found at the company's office, located in the Bnch block on Water street, at any time, where estimates and rates will gladly be fnrnished to those desiring same. The company solicits the business of all the old pat­ rons at well as the new onee who see fit to take the service and assures each and everyone fair treatment and a square deal. The Barrington Review In a recent issue spoke of the change in ownership of their lighting plant in the following manner: "The Barrington Electric Service com* pany's worl^ is progressing rapidly un­ der the direction of Manager E. B. Lake. "Right of i»ay has been practically secured between here and Crystal Lake aud work of construction will commence soon. "The company has secured a thirty day option on a two acre plot of ground belonging to Mra. B. Musekamp and situated just north of the E. J. & E. track, facing on Walnut street, with the idea in view of erecting their new sub­ station there, it is said. "It is understood that the sub-station to be placed here will be used for the purpose of furnishing current for all of the towns on this line which their wires will enter and will probably require the employment of five or six men. "The company has not started to 'make any improvement in the local ser­ vice as yet, but it is probable that they will soou do so, altbo it is not likely that we.will be given onr twenty-four boor service for several months, it being necessary that the lines be almost en­ tirely rebuilt before that is done. "The time when Barrington will have a thoroly up-to-date electric light and power service is close at band anil citi­ zens will appreciate such a service, after using the entirely inadequate system the former management was able to fnrnish" Thera wtll be a meeting of Japeer^ directors and teachers in the city hall at Woodstock, on Saturday, Nov. 36, be­ ginning at 10:00 a. m. The program has three distipct fea­ tures. First, the following speakers will be present: Frank Hall, superin­ tendent of State Farmers' institutes; C. W. Farr, assistant superintendent of Cook county schools, and Professor O. D. Center, specialist on corn at the state university. These attractions alone shonld be sufficient to guarantee the presence of a large body of farmers from the various parts of the county. However, in addition to this there are to be two born exhibits, one open to the pupi's of our country schools, the other to be participated in by the farmers themselves. We hope that the last fea­ ture will attract your attention and that you will be represented, not only by your presence, but also by the ten (10) best ears of corn yon can select from your fields. Prizes will be awarded. This is a county affair and shonld be entered into with enthusiasm by all progressive farmers. Exhibits should be sent or brought to the conuty superintendent's office at the earliest possible date. . BAZAAR TWO NIGHTS.
