Af^w the turaal spring cleaning, re* pairing and general decorating, the pro­ prietora, landlords and managers of the •hotels and summer resorts in McHenry, along Fox river and Pistakee bay are now ready for the opening of the sum­ mer season. AH that is needed now to enliven things is plenty of anfufeine and hot wessther. ' &iuce mm*>» a number of change* have beeir ?»%de in the management of hotels in this vicinity, and from the priWM&i ouiiuox reporters may feel as- sar«»d that thcy mii* be waH caved for during the colniitig seast»n. A, regr;«t table fact is tt^at from present iudira- tions the beautiful and comuaodious Rivsrside Rouse will be unoccupied The house is one of the finest in this part of the state and that it should stand idle during the coming summer is to be regretted. Below we giv« a list of the hotels that will ing wasoii: , . . •; Mellin's hotel, one of th« most bean- tifllHv sitUftted hnl»la at PiaUtnu wilt i^ain be operated by its owner. S. J. Mellin, who, during the years that be has followed that occupation at Piste kee, has won fame for. the hospitable manner in which he has conducted the place, The general verdict of those who have made Mellin> hotel their stopping place in the past is Viu«t like tome." The hotel stands on a beautiful knoll mud its natural surroundings make the place a most pleasaftt one. OAK PARK HOTEL.. ; The Oak Park hotel at Pistake&^Jay is again ready to receive the pnhlie The place is one of those that never grow old. Jos J. Mertes, the propri­ etor of this hostelry, is ever devoting his brains a6d time to the comfort and pleasnrp of his^ guests. The hotel is 'surrounded by an excellent lawn ex­ tending to tbe shore of the bay and Shad­ ed *>ith lieautlfult thickly grown tree*», which, toerether with tbe cool >m;oz8s continuMily blowing off the bay, afford ample and entire relief from the most scorching summer heat. The table of this hotel is one of its features, while tile sleeping rooms are all light and airy. A fine bathing beach is also one of its Attractions. v BEN STILLING'S SUMMER liJCSOItT. The, Ban Stilling resort at Pistakee Bay, undoubtedly one of the'|nopit widely kno^n resorts in this part of the state, X-' •i-fk'- is again open and ^|ng business. Con trary to previous expectations, the own erofthia handsome resort is , again in the harness and will conduct the affairs of the place for another season at least. The hotel is the largest at Mistakes Bay and thousands of reserters Sad this a most delightful stopping place each sea­ son. A beautiful lawn, park swings, benches, hammocks, iauiwttea, row boats. 4ance hall, bowling alley and numerous other things that add to one's pleasure ere continually at the com­ mand df the guests. A better stopping piace cannot be found any where ijft ,tli|s part of the state. , *r.?$ -.'"•THE fqifGSURfc&Mtel. I The Kingsley House, which fias al­ ways teen considered one of tbe most beautiful places on the shores of Pis- takee bay, is totter equipped than ever before to accommodate its increasing patronage. II is so located on the east fehoreof this body of water that the guests can witness the yacht races from the porch. The hotel also stands in the midst of pretty surroundings and one visit will convince the reeorters that the place is a most ide^l one for a summer resort. A. H. Kingsley, the owner and manager of this hostelry, is a pleasant and accommodating gentleman, who at all times makes it his business to care for his guests in a manner that never fails to please. , > MKS NELL'S,. <3ot.traffciA PAR®?, Mrs. Nell, ownel of Columbia Ptfrk, situated on the banks of Fox river near the Johnsburgh bridge, is again ready and awaiting the opening of the summer season. While her hotel accommoda­ tions are limited, the park surround^ it more than makes up for ft* comings. Fishing at this point is al- iys considered the beet that Fox river fiords and for this reason many csatn|f- ers -lind their way to the Columbia Park camping grounds each season. One of the largest, as well as best, dancing pa­ vilions in these part* is located here and many a pleasant time hasjbeen eujoyed by ttoytmnar people. .. c < i OSCH ARD BEACH HOTKL. V %.• > The Orchard Beach hotel, 1frhff# fftT several seasons past has been conducted by August Larsen, will this season be nnder the management of Christ F. Norager. Mr, Norager is anything bnt a stranger to most of the reporters in this vicinity, as he has passed several seasons along Fox river near this village. Mr. Norager, we are told, is familiar with every detail connected with hotel life and will doubt, keep up the ex­ cellent reputation for the place that its owner has achieved for it. A beautiful lawn, excellent bathing beach, fine fish­ ing and boating Are the chief attrac­ tions of tbe place. ' ^ THE KOGJBDAIjE HOTS!* V Juuu F.

WHJIili: AWAY aESOShC. The While Away resort, which this yen? wtil to ct&der the .man»gemeiat of McMullen Sr> McNtven. bids fair to be- conic one of the popular rosovts of Fox river. It is situated on the east banks <»f Shat stream just north of Rosedale Altho just in its in fancy ( the place has already made for itself an excellent rep­ utation among Cnicagoans. The hotel, Jnriug July and Aughst of last year, was taxed to its capacity almost con tinually. Parents with small children find Mite resort a most suitable stopping plam THE M'HKNfiY ROUSE. RiMtM>Airatiwl ranoi -fijsd *?Kj!toly renovate®f,^the Mc Henry House Is a&aift open and awaiting the summer • season. The house tHis year will be managed by Jacob C. Bitlkler. Mr. Blekler heeds no introduction to the McHenry people as he is one of our own people. The Mc Henry House at the present time is owned by Peter Moritz, who two years ago conducted the affairs of the place. Mr. Morita takes pleasure in the fact that he has secured Mr. Bicklrr to man age the place and earnestly bnlieves that he has the right man in the right place. The hotel has also been refurnished, thus making it bright and clean in every particular. The new manager of the popular hostelry is a hustler in every sense of the word and will do ^every­ thing within his power to make things comfortable and pleasant for the public who see fit to make tbe place their head quarters while in McHenry. , BTTOH'S RHMMER RESORT. Bnch's -summer resort, which for years past has enjoyed the reputation of being one of Mc Henry's most reliable atst home like hotels, is now ready to take care of the resorters that annually make the resort their stopping place. Home cooking and plenty of it has given the house a^reputatioh that ex tends thru several states. J. J. Buch, the proprietor, is one of those individ uals gwbo adhere strictly to law and order. Under the supervision of such a man the hotel cannot help, but get the business. THE PARK HOTEL. While the Park hotel oftoiioi Wfe classed as a summer resort, we feel it oar duty to give it tbe credit that it rightfully desorvea. ft is located in the west end of town, two blocks from the depot. The traveling public who make the village weekly proclaim it to be the best stopping place along this branch of the Northwestern line. The house is filled the year around and many persons have been turned from its doors at times wban the house was taxed to its very limit. An exceptionally good table, electric lights, hot water heat, clean and well ventilated rooms and batto go to make the house one of the most popular •topping places in this part of the State. THE NORTHWESTERN HOTEL. The Northwestern hotel, located in the west end of town, is a fireproof structure and modern in every detail. All the modern conveniences that the larger city hotels afford are also to be had tore. P. H. Weber is again man­ ager of the house after a year's absence. Mr. Weber is a thoro hotel man and should keep up the reputation that the house has enjoyed in the past. The rooms are all large, well ventilated and neatly furnished, while tbe table is well cared for' by competent «obkp and waiters. • - - " BaMifM t'alnful Injuriea. X Hie breaking of a whifiietree/ ikst Saturday forenoon while Guy L. Clem­ ens was out iu a field on the Clemens farm plowing up sod was the cause of very painful injuries to Mr. Clemens. Three horses were attached to the plow and the sudden breaking of the. whiffle- tree threw the driver across the plow with such force as to cause several bad gashes about the face, two broken teeth and a strained took. Br. D. ft Wells was cuuiuioited to the Ckmens home immediately alter the accident occurred and UrtmtH4 tlu» wounds.

Bonslett, manager of the lily Lake dancing pavilion, announces that the first big opening dance of the season at this popular dancing resort will take place on Sunday evening, May 29. Be has engaged Hapke'a five-piece oicbestra of Liberty ville for the occasion and Mr. Hapke has given his promise to bring one of the best musical organisations to the pavilion that bps dyer played there. Tbe hall< floor is being replaned and otherwise improved for the ooca sion and the manager feels that when all improvements have been made he wiii nave one oi the finest dancing floors to be found anywhere.

Crystal Lake Herald: At the board meeting Friday night the gas franchise was passed without a dissenting vote, and Col. Copley promises that within sixty days the village mains will be laid. Crystal Lake Herald: A big taran­ tula of the most poisonous breed was found by Will Fish in a bunch of ba­ nanas recently. It wes chloroformed, and after display in the store window wia presented to CBas. Wilson. As a result of thirty-one Waakegin men having come to the front and agreed to take ft,000 each in stock of the Austin Auto company in case it lo­ cates on the West Side, the new indus­ try, the moat important that Waukegan has sought in years, is assured. Quadruplets, a case which occurs only once in 10,000 times, according to medical authorities, were born to Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson, farmers living south of Sycamore. The double twins were three toys and a girl. The tobies all lacked vitality and did not live. In addition to a fine city hall and school gymnasium, West Dnndee will also have a new chnrch building in the near future. "The new edifice Id to to built by tbe Evangelical Lutheran Bath lehem congregation, which organisation has been duly incorporated according to the laws of Illinois. According to one of our exchangee, a man at Rockford is reported to have approached Alderman McLaren with an offer to the city of $50,000 for a monopoly of the saloou business in Rock- ford. Be said that he would pay $50,- 000 for the privilege of running atoot twenty-five saloons, no one else to have it license. He said that he would agree live by the strictest letter of the law, d to be responsible for all intoxicated persons patronising bis places. The question of a sewerage eyatettl foe, the county farm la now being fav­ orably considered. A septic tank much like that built in connection with the Harvard system is under consideration and filter beds of tbe same kind, tho on a sfaaller scale, will be put in. Just at present the puesling (question is where to secure b suitable outlet, the job of tiling under the Northwestern railway tracks being considered too expensive and unsatisfactory in some ways. A net gain of about fi.OOG,in the popn- lation of McHenry county over that of ten years ago is what the census now being completed will show is the pre­ diction of several who have sought in­ formation on this subject. Woodstock will make by far the higges£ ratio of gain and Harvard will come second, the other cities and villages of tbe county following after Marengo, which, it is said, will be third in the ratio of popu­ lation gain. Woodstock's estimated population is put>at from fi,000 to 6,000, while Harvard's census la expected to show from 3,500 to 4.00U. There are three JOWOB in McHenry county without a single inmate at the county farm at Bartland, these to#ns being Dunham, Riley and Richmond. Algonquin, as usual, leads in the num­ ber of inmates allotted to any one town, Dorr coming next The former has twelve and the latter i«a. Chemung, in which Harvard to located, has but two, which is unnsnal for a town of like size. The other towns range from one to five. The total number of inmates under charge of Superintendent-Ueo. K. Mills now reaches fifty six, the bigijest ever attained it is claimed. On four nights daring the last week a 'woman in black" baa been seen by railway employes in and about the*de­ pot and railway yards in Harvard. Den­ nis Murphy, flagman of the railway rossing, appears as the particular ob­ ject for the woman, a stranger to those who have seen her. One night she flashed a revolver and gave many evi­ dences of a determination to clean up the colony of night employes in the railway yards, all of them vanishing, ex&pt Murphy, who stood his ground as long as he could and then hiked faster than he has ever before run in his life, he avers. A man dressed in woman's clothing is tbe version most of the em­ ployes offer, bnt to this Mr. Mnrphy offers a stout denial and insists that the commencement exercises of the McHsnry high school will take place at the Central opera hoose next Thursday evening. May 26, at eight o'clock, when a class of five will receive their diplomas. The class, which consists of four girls And oa«j wy, is composed of the follow­ ing pupils: Miasaa Anna Mabel Bolgv,?.

As this is to be the big opening fea­ ture of the season's events of the club eVery officer and member of the organi­ sation is working hand in hand to bring the event to one of the biggest social successes ever attempted in McHenry, The dance will be a most elaborate ohe. No pains or expense will to spared to make it the leading society efrent of tbe season and those having the event in charge are already making preparations to entertain no leas than twu hundred couples. Me tiger's big orchestra of Woodstock has already been engaged for the occa­ sion and it is needless for ns to say that the musical end of the evening's pro­ gram will be well looked after. The floor will be in charge of the fol- lowthg named committee: McHenry, Jos. J. Bothermel, F. H. Schau; West McHenry, C. H John, Carl W.
