John Maloney of Chicago toppled over and died before medical aid arrived at Brandt's ice house at McCollnm's lake at about five o'clock Tuesday evening. Mr. Maloney, who was a friend of tbe Brandt family, came out from tbe city Monday evening for a few days' outing at the lake. He was up and around all day Tuesday and not nntil after the fatal fall took place did his friends know that there was something wrong with him. Dr. Wells of this plaoe was summoned immediately after the man fell, but he had passed away before the doctor arrived on the scene. Mr. Ma­ loney was unmarried and the only sup­ port of his mother, who was terribly shocked upon receiving the sad news of her eon's unexpected death. At the coroner's inqnest that was held on Tues­ day night a verdict was arrived at pro­ nouncing the young man's death due to apoplexy. He was thirty-two years of age. The body was taken to Chicago for bnrial on Wednesday. I sell farms. D. F. Quintan. Aotloch Priest In Runaway. While on bis way home after visiting several of his parishioners near Dlghton on Monday evening of this week, the horse that Rev. J. E.

Nine gentlemen, mostly McHenryitee, on Tuexday morniug of this week dis­ covered what no living man bad ever be­ fore dreamed of discovering, viz., "The Island of Youth ." It was long before even tbe farmer's son had arisen from his night's slumber that the advance gnard of a party of campers of this place and Chicago left McHenry for Cedar island, Pifitakee bay, to get cam pinto readiness for those following later on in the morning. No sooner had tbe last consignment reached tbe camping grounds than the first call for breakfast came ringing thru the re­ freshing morning air. With breakfast over, a suddenjebange seemed to come almost simuitaneonly over the nine men who had so early iu tbe morning gath­ ered at tbe selected outing -grounds to pass a day amonK nature's beautiful, and in an instant ail nine appeared as they did in their boyhood days. Not only did tbe sudden change affect one. but all in the party. It was not the fountain of youth, but the island of youth that surely had been discovered. Tbe thought that tbey surely must have discovered tbe isle of youth had no more than entered their minds when the word was passed that one of the party, Everett Hunter, was missing. All hearts appeared to stand still as the frautic search for the juissing man was going on. After a search that lasted only a few minutes, but appeared like hours to the campers. Everett wa* found standing in about five feet of water washing the moruiug dishes. Mr. Hunter, as everyone is well aware, is a tirui believer«of the old saying, ' Kill two birds with one stone," whenever the opportunity presents itself. He lost no time in taking advantage of the oppor tunity of washing dishes and taking a bath at tbe same time. With this excit«uieut over, the party- net ont to pase the day and if we were to go into detail about each and every event as it happened we would be tell­ ing some interesting tales for the bal­ ance of tbe summer. We wiii, however, venture to say that a friend of F. H. Schau's nf Chicago gave a fine exhibi tion of shallow water swimming during tbe day, His art of swimming is en­ tirely different from the style generally used among McHenry people He starts out in a row boat and unes a gasoline launch as a life saver. Tbe stunt is a good one. At least those who witnessed it say so. One of the creditable features about the day's encampment was tbe system used. Each and every member of tbeN outfit had his dutiea assigned to him several days before the trip was ever undertaken. For instance, it was left to Jacob Jnsten and F. J. Barbian to go ont and catch fifty fish to be used in preparing the fish chowder for the even-" ing meal. Tbe fish were caught and brought into camp in a great deal less time than was allotted them to do so. J. D- Lodta and John R. Hunter did tbe cooking stunt, and if there was any fanlt found with the manner in which the serviug was done the boys are keep ing the objections under their lids. Dr. C. H. Fegera, altbo not assigned to that particular job, just seemed to take a de­ light in eating up everything that was set before bim. The manner in which he went to tbe delicacies was a sight to behold. Fortuoately, tbe doctor was thoughtful enongh to bring along the biggest pair that he bad. All told, it was a day of rare fun for those in the party, an oocasiou that will not be forgotten very soon by those who were fortunate enough to get in on the sport. Those in attendance were: Messrs. Everett Hnnter, F. J. Barbian, Jaoob Justen, L. F. Block, John R. Hunter, F. H. Schau, John D. Lodtz, Dr. C. H. Pegers and Frank Kokovski.

Mr. Stenger has worked hard and faithfully during the years that the bank has been in existence and the bank officials, we believe, acted wisely in giv­ ing the popular cashier the services of a clerk. Quite a number of changes are being made in the building occupied by the bank and when all are completed The Plaindealer will give its readers a full account of same. The Women .SuA'ragiHts. The women suffragists arrived in Mc­ Henry as per schedule time at noon on Tuesday of this week. They arrived here by auto and took dinner at the Park hotel. The rain that fell between one and two o'clock delayed the meeting a trifle and was also the cause of keeping tbe attendance down. The meeting took place in front of the Bank of Mc­ Henry building and tbe audience con­ sisted mostly of women, who applauded the efforts of the speakers quite fre­ quently. The ladies left McHenry leav­ ing behind them a number of warm friends that they had made during their short stay here. They left this place for Woodstock at 4:50 p. m. McHenry County Fair. An enthusiastic meeting of the execu tive committee and superintendents of the McHenry connty fair was held at Woodstock Jnne 30, 1910.
