Heydecker is a man well liked in hid home city and a vote for him would not be oat of place. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. The Pistakee Bay country fair, given under the auspices and for the bent it of the Pistakee Yacht clnb, has cou.e and gone. The event, which was by far one of the biggest that has ever taken place at this point, was held last Satur­ day and brought ont a big crowd. During the entire afternoon and even­ ing all the Btande and attractions did a big business and not nntil the closing honr of the event had arrived was the crowd willing to depart from the scene of fun and activity. Owing to the fact that Geo. J Sayer was called to Europe on business his \ place was filled by Andrew McAnsh, who was given the office which had previously been assigned to Mr. Sayer, viz., that of direotor general. Mr. Mc­ Ansh proved himself an excellent di rector, and with the able corps of as sistants pulled the big event off in a faultless manner. C. W. Peters was assigned to the dnties of chief of police and in this office did himself honors. He, with his as­ sistants, was successful in making numerous arrests during the day and evening. A miniature patrol wagon was brought into service and more than a few did it carry to police headquarters. These were arrainged before the judge, who in every case imposed fines ranging all the way from 50c to $1.00. The offenses for which each person was brought np were only t.rival, but, never­ theless, a fine was always forthcoming This feature proved one of the biggest fan-makers and was taken with good grace by all "law breakers." Jack McKay, better known as "Capt. Jack," had charge of the refreshment stand and bad it on all of the profes­ sionals when it came to the "barking" game. A better man for the place conld not have been selected. The ladies who had charge of the varions stands accomplished more than a little. They were amply repaid for their efforts by a good patronage at all times. In fact, each and every one on the grounds who took part in the affair did his and her share to the satisfaction of all concerned, and as a resnlt of their efforts the club's treasury has been swelled to the extent of about $2,600. A band and orchestra fnrnished music for the occasion and the various shows added greatly to keep the crowd in a happy mood. All told, we doubt if an event of this nature has ever before been pulled off bo successfully in this part of the state. The grounds, boat and club honses, shore and pier were illuminated by 500 electric lights tind a more beautiful sight never confronted the resorters and visitors in the history of Pistakee Bay. The express purpose of the fair was to raise funds with which to build a new club hpuse. The club bouse! in all probability, will be constructed and ready for use next season. The strnc ture will be a model in beauty and will cost in the neighborhood of $15,000 The Plaiudealer hoped to be able to give its readers the list of prize winners during the fair, but is unable to do so this week. Korden'i Fall Contract For Milk. September 15 is fixed as the date for opening the contract books of Borden 's Condensed Milk company for its winter supplies of milk. It is hoped that the dairymen will respond promptly, so that if the allotment for one plant is hot completely filled the deficiency can be made up elsewhere, as is the usual prac­ tice. In order to give the dairymen ample time, the books will remain open nntil September 22, 4 p. m., unless the allotment is filled before that date. Martin Stoffei Hurt. Elgin Courier, Friday, Sept.. 2: Mar tin Stoffei had the misfortune to run a long sliver into the palm of hi* hand this morning, inflicting a very painfnl wound Stoffei was unloading a barrel of meat from a wagon into a car for the Kerber market when the horse became frightened and started to run, throwing Stoffei and the barrel of meat to the ground Dr. J. F. Bell relieved him of the painful splinter. Uncle Tom'i Cabin. The version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which Al. W. Martin's big oompany will present at the Central opera boose in a few days is the original and is one of the purest and most instructive stories ever told. The element of sympathy is very pronounced, the pathos is genuine and even the comedy is such as to make a distinct appeal. Sunday, Sept. 11. Prices, 25c, 35c and 50c. BmIocn Chance at Waucooda. By the Wanconda Leader we note that Lamphere & Turnbull have dis posed of their meat market there to I. A. Fair weather and Frank Bacon.

A Miscellaneous Assortment of News Items lu Condensed form For Conven­ ience of Busy People. A large gas well has been discovereed near Hey worth. 111., on the farm Qf C. C. Brown. The gas has a pressure of abont twenty pounds. Superintendent A. M. Slu l ton of Crys­ tal Lake has been appointed assistant director for the school for boys at the state fair to be held iu Spriugfield, Sept 30 to Oct. 8. Work is said tn he progressing rapidly on the Sycamore-Woodstock electric road. About fifteen teams were busy last week hauling five car loads of tim­ ber for the new bridge oy#r Coon eretik, which is now weli under way. The village board of Richmond has taken measures to curb the speeding autos of Chicago people who pans thru that yillage. They have put up sign boards, and if this doesn't have the de­ sired effect they will try tiuing the speeders. C. A. Haven of Belvidere would prob­ ably win the first premium aud sweep­ stakes in the sunflower claswil be should enter the one he has grown, which is sixteen feet high, according to correct measurement, and bears fifty three good sized and perfect blossoms. Marengo Republican News: While the boys were plowing upon Fred Dal ke's farm in Coral the first of the week, they turned out a large piece of pure copper, weighing about fifteen pounds. It ia believed that it came there iu the glacier period or that it is a piece of meteoric substance. In testing the new pump and iuhuih of the Sterling Water company Isnt week, a pressure of 140 pounds was put on, with the result that one of the inning was blown out of the street, Heuding a geyser like column of water iiiK-u into the air. There was considerable racing and chasing until the dnuiHge was re paired. The Sharon Reporter of lant week Haid that a farmer of that comujunity called at the office the day before and wanted to use the 'phone. After the connection was made, and the customary "hello " and "yes" was exchanged, the man re mained qniet for nearly five minute*. The silence lasted so long that the editor asked him if the line was in trouble The man replied, "Ob, it's all right, working fine, I am simply talking to my wife." Seth Nash was instantly killed last Friday at his home at Crystal Lake by being thrown backwards out of a wag on. Mr. Nash was repairing a fence ou his prdfierty within the cori»oratiou limits ol Crystal Lake when the acci dent, occurred. His team started up suddenly, the lurch throwiug him back wards out of the wagon. He Htrnck forcibly upon the ground, breaking his neck. The Lake county board of review is certainly making thinge lively for the rich North Shore people, and when the work is completed, it is believed that over a million and a half dollars will have been added to the tax rolls of Lake county thru the efforts ot this year's board. The efforts are not unjust, they are merely a ease where the board has insisted ou getting people on the books who have never before paid just taxes, where many had assessments too small, etc. J. B. Converse of Fox Lake, carp seiner at Lake Kegonsa, has been en­ gaged to build the 300 foot dam at the Lake Kegonsa outlet to prevent sand from drifting into the Yahara river, thus making the river so shallow that lannch passage is seriously impeded in fall. Converse and his force of seiners will start work on the dam at once. Popular subscription on the part of Stonghton and Lake Kegouba launch owners will pay for the dam which will be built of wood and cost about $250. Harvard Independent; Passengers on the 1:30 afternoon traiu to Chicago Sat­ urday were considerably alarmed when it was discovered between Harvard and Hartland that the roof of the forward car was on tire. The train was stopped and a bncket brigade was hurriedly or­ ganized, succeeding in subduing the flames with water from the engine be fore they bad made much headway. The same evening the 8 o'clock train from Chicago was obliged to stop near Ridgefield nntil a small fire, which originated in the kitchen of the dining car, was put out, but not, however, un til a considerable portion of the pro visions intended for hungry tonrists had been destroyed. The coinage of a 24 cent piece by the United States government is urged in a statement given out by William H. Short, a New York banker, who declares that the use of such a coin wonld mean a saving ot $39,000,000 yearly to con­ sumers "The absence of such coin­ age," he says, "has resulted in the uni vernal custom of the sellers taking the half cent whenever a transaction does not result in even money. I suppose it would be a safe estimate to say that each family loses the half cent on an average of ten times a week, resulting in their paying $2.60 a year above the price of articles purchased. There are abont 15,000,000 families in the United States, exclusive of the merchants, and. figuring on the basis mentioned, they are losers yearly from this cause in the approximate sum of 130,000,000." Wedded in their yonth, subsequently separated by divorce and reunited in second marriage is the span of a ro mance which was culminated by Mr. Wllbur Bassett and Mrs. Jennie Hager, well known and respected citizens of this place. The marriage was celebrated at the home of Carl Magoon, Aurora, at 5:30 p. m. last Wednesday, the Rev Collier of Chicago officiating, and the ev«nt was oue of more than passing interest. They were divorced twenty yearn ago. Since their divorce each of the prin­ cipals in this unusual romance has been married Mrs. 'Bassett's second bus baud died eighteen years ago, while the groom's second wife died only four months ago. Then the fire* of the firet love were rekindled The second woo ing was begun by Mr Basoett and on Wednesday afternoon the culminating chapter was written when the couple agaiu repeated the vows which they took years ago The groom has been living on the old homestead west of this village and since the death of Mr. Hager biB widow has been living iu and around McHenry, and during the pant few months has been coudnctiug a dre^niakiug parlor in tlie Siuies block on the West Side. The c mple had two children, E. E. Basnet!, who now resides on the West Side mid ih t-n^a^ed hn a rural until cur­ rier, and a daughter, who has passed away. The deei-u^ed's daughter, Miss Elsie Jeffrie*, of Alichigttu 1ms been keeping house for lier grandfather dur­ ing the pHMt couple of mouths aud it was she who was mainly renpoumble for the connecting link in the pretty little I romauce which has become woven about the sunnet stage of the lives of the couple M isw Jeffries wa* a constant reminder for her grandfather of the old bond between himself and the love of his youth. Mr Bassett began to stop his milk wagon in f rout of the dressmaking ahop when he made his morniug trip to McHenry. The wooing was on. They Iorj>ot the trouble which had separated them aud have thus joined hands again for the final lap of the jouruey thru life. The couple arrived in McHenry on Thursday evening last and were ten­ dered a hue reception at the home of their sou, E E Bassett. They are now agaiu nicely settled ou the old home­ stead lutein Tout's Cablu. Perhaps there has never been so lavish aud adequate a production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" as that which Mr Martin will offer amusement lovers at the Cen­ tral opera house next Sunday evening, Sept. 11. The scenes, which are large enough to fill the most spacious stage, could not easily be improved. Those representing the Ohio river in winter, the Rocky Pass in which George Harris protects his family, the St. Claire plan­ tation, the levee at New Orleans, the cotton fields iu full bloom and "The Celestial City" are all„most notable efforts, each picture the reality as far as paint and canvas will permit and the stage perspective is ao deep that the effect is exceptionally pleasing. The company is also worthy of its environ­ ment. Frank Lee, the eminent minstrel star, offers an excellent study of Uncle Tom. Prices. 25c. 35c and 50c.

Mr. Spencer, the proprietor, informed as that the mill had done more wheat grinding during the month of August than at any time in its^iistory. He further informed us that the run of August was about double that of the best averaged month that he has ever experienced during his career in the milling business. That the mill lias already established a splendid repu­ tation among farmers for miles around iu evidenced by the fact that farmers are known to drive from ten to thirty miles to have their work done at the McHenry mill. One farmer, who oomes to the mill almost every week, drives a distance of thirty four miles. McHenry Again ttefeated. The Round Lake baseball team again defeated the McHenry pickups at the ball grounds last Sunday afternoon by the score of 7 to 2. Those who are in a position to know say that at least a dozen people witnessed the conflict. The game that was advertised to be pulled off on Monday did not mater­ ialise. The "Joseph Jr." Owned by J, Lauletta Wins Greatest Number of Polnta During Seasou. The race of last Monday afternoon marked the official closing of the M< * Henry Power Boat club season. The race of that day was the last one of­ ficially scheduled for the seasen, altho a special event is advertised and will take place next Sunday afternoon at the usual hour. The season that has thus come to a close terminated into a most splendid one, considering that it was the club's initial oue. The race cf Sunday afternoon was a most spirited one, there being eighteen contestants for the prizes offered Con­ sidering the threatening weather and chilly condition of the atmosphere, the attendance was excellent, the Riverfeide lawn being comfortably taken up by spectators who had gathered to take In the race, as well as the lawn festival that was advertised to take place. The race was over the full course and was closely contested thruout. The first prize, the West McHenry businessmen's search light, was won by Paul Arm­ strong with his boat, the "Thistle." The "Yes," owued by Peter P. Rother mel, won the second honors and was presented with five gallons of Polarine oil, donated by the Standard Oil com­ pany. R C. Woolner's "E vera" cap­ tured the third prize, ten gallons of gasoline, also donated hv the Standard Oil company. Owing to lack of space we will omit the names of the boats entered and the time that each finished in this race. Owing to weather conditions it was announced during the afternoon that the festival and presentation of enps to the winners during the season would take place at Bnch's hall during the evening. The hall was crowded to overflowing, the attendance manifesting the true spirit of club members and their friends who have stood so closely by that organization all season. The presentation of cups was presided over by the club's commodore, Everett Hunter, who, by the way, has proven himself the right man in the right place, and bis re election to that office for the season of 1911 means greater activities next year. In his usual masterly manner Rev. D. I^ehane presented the Hunter boys, Everett, Jr., and Arthur D., who drove the boat "Ed" during the season, with the John Buch cup. In a like manner he presented the Lock wood Ash cup to its winner, C. Furlong, who owns and successfully drove the "Jewel C." dur ing the season. Johii Schermann made a very fine address and presented the McHenry brewery cup, altho the winner, John Olson, was not present to receive same. Commodore E. Hunter in glow­ ing terms spoke of the consistent work of F. Scbau during the season with bis boat, the "Myrtle," and presented him with the A. G. Schneider cup. The evening was then given tip to .good fellowship, and a tine time was had by all present. The season could not have been more auspiciously closed. On Monday morning the several own­ ers of speed boats entered into a con spiracy to lighten somebody's pocket book and arranged for a speed boat race, the winner of which was to treat the balance of the contestants. Those in tercsied unanimously agreed upon John J. Buch as a starter, judge and offloial time keeper. The honored and good-natnred propri etor of Bucb's summer resort took his place on the judges' stand and at the crack of a gun fired by himself four speed boats were off simultaneously. The race was a beauty, with all boats finishing close np, the "Thistle" in the lead by a hood. However, as the "Thistle^ was protested by the "Comet" and the "Comet" by the "Yee" and the "Yes" by the "Humsum," it left "Lucy B," "Judge Bnch's" boat, the winner. Owing to the many protests the actual result of the race is yet unknown, altho Mr. Buch promises us the figures some time between now and next season. The principal event of Labor day was the race that was pulled off in the after noon for Commodore Hunter's cup, to be preeented to the boat winning the greatest number of points during the season. It was previously agreed that any and all prize winners during the season would be given no points in this race. The race resolved itself to the "Joseph Jr." and "Sharpshooter," and the finish of the final race made the "Joseph Jr.," owned by J. Lauletta, the winner by ten points. The provisions for this contest were that the boat fin­ ishing the full course nearest to its trial time would be declared the winner. The "B. & B.," owned by Block & Bethke, came in for the second prize, a searchlight, donated by State's Attor­ ney D. R. Joslyn of Woodstock, and the Elbert." owned by E. A. Wagner, was awarded the third prize, a searchlight, donated by County Judge David T. Smiley of Woodstock.

Immediately following the regular race was a special for fast boats only, chaperoned by the boat "Charley," with a full quota of guests. Each entry paid in Un entrance fee and the balance of the purse was donated by several officers of the club. The terms of this race were that the first boat in would be de­ clared the winner and as a prize would receive sixty per cent of the purse, and the second boat to finish to receive the balance, or forty per cent of the purse. This race was probably the most excit­ ing of the season and kept the crowd of spectators on their toes during the fnll twenty-five minutes it took the winner to make the course. The entries, start and finish of this race follows: Entries Start Finish Thistle 3:43:90. 4:07:25 Yes 3:43:30 4:07:55 Lucy B 3:43:30 4:08:05 Comet 3:40:30 4:09:15 Next Sunday afternoon a special race over the full course will take place.

Copley of Aurora; second, pair of brass side lanterns, donated by Attorney V. S. Lumley of Woodstock, candidate for the office of county judge. Encourage! the Building of Slloa. T. Bacon, who resides on a farm tx* tween this place and Wauconda, made this office a very pleasant call one day recently. Mr. Bacon, who is one of the most successful dairymen in this part of the state, and who enjoys the reputa­ tion of maintaining one of the finest dairies to be found anywhere, is a firm believer in silos and silo food and en­ courages the use of them. Mr. Bacon was the second farmer in Lake county to install a silo on his farm and says that they are the finest things in the world. He has fed his herd of blooded Jerseys ou silo food for many years and declares that nothing surpasses this sort of food as a milk producer. Going further the informant also told us that he places no confidence in the several different kinds of stock food, declaring them to be the biggest fake that has ever been ' 'sprung" on the farmer. He never uses the stock foods and wouldn't if the companies producing them would keep him sup­ plied gratis the year round.
