WORLD'S TEMPERANCE SUNDAY Will Be Observed This Tear on Saoday, November 13. Mr. and Mrs. F. E Martin and sons, Ilinton and LotJn, and Mrs. P. S. Mar- Elgin last Sunday and with relatives. McHenry county Sunday schools, at­ tention! The world's Sunday school temper­ ance lesson, which usually appears on the date of the world's temperance Sun­ day, the fourth Sunday in November, is this year placed on Nov. 18. This was supposedly an oversight on the part of the International Sunday school lesson committee. Our workers will naturally observe Nov. IS as world's temperance Sunday, though many will doubtless plar. to hold their anuisnl Snnriav scbooi rallies on the fourth Sunday of No­ vember as usual. Local conditions should govurn the plan of work. World's temperance Sunday is the great annual field day for temperance work in the Sunday schools. We need to begin early to plan for its complete celebration. Oar aims--Keep before your porkers a clear understand­ ing of the ^ims of the department as given by Hie International association. 1. Educate every Sunday school mem­ ber for total abstinence and the sur­ render of every self indulgence which impairs or destroys the power to give service to God or to man 2. Regular time for teach ng -the four quarterly temperance lessons, world's temperance Sunday in Novem ber to be emphasized as Christian Citl zenship day. 8. Organization--A temperance de partment in every Snud ty school con­ ducted by a teinperauee-sapei intendent. 4. Distribute litnr.*tnre --This is our great opportunity for seed sowing nud we should improve it. Your secretary asks and expects your earnest co-operation, m iking the best record we have ever made by bringing the forty-five Sunday schools into line with a temperance department before the Quincy convention in 1911. The township presidents are also re­ quested to assist in securing a temper­ ance department in each local school in their township and forward the report of same to me. The state secretary says--Two thou­ sand temperance departments for 1911. The counties having twenty-five schools with temperance departments in charge of an active superintendent this year will be known and recognized at state convention as banner temperance coun­ ties. Do we need a vision of the opportu­ nity of service? Are we fully alive to the fact that "the field is already white to the harvest?" Is "my best" too much to offer for myself for others and for Him? Will you give it? MRS JENNIE REDPATH, McHenry Connty Temperance Secre­ tary Sunday School Association, Marengo, 111. Capt, B»J(ar«liis ARHIU Hit* the Bull's Kye.

CroM Will Ketir*. Rev. William A. Cross, who is at present the oldest active minister in the Rock liver conference, is to retire, the year just closed being his last year of service in the ministry. Mr. Cross has been a minister of the gospel for over fifty years and his decision to retire from active work in the ministry is the result of his advanced age and conse­ quent feeble physical condition. Mr. Cross suffered a slight stroke of paraly­ sis some months ago and it has impaired his ability to do the effective work of the pastorate. Daring the past year Mr. Cross has been tilling the McHenry charge, though residing at Crystal Lake, which village will continue to be his home. V Notice I" H untern.

Lake Geneva Herald: James Grier reports the picking of some fine straw­ berries iu his yard this week. Two crops of strawberries in one season is not a bad record for this section. The storm which struck here rather hard on Monday of last week proved a veritable cyclone at Lake Znrich. The havoc cr»vcr« a swath a half *••»•*« and roofs were torn off, trees uprooted, steel windmills razed and every pane of glass in the village was broken. An exchange says: "It's a safe bet the boy w «o goes to school with a pack­ age of Duke s mixture in one hip pocket and a package of 'mafcin V in thp other, and sneaks away to some nearhy barn during intermissions to get a few whiffs, will never startle the world with his achievements." One of the biggest hogs ever shipped out of the Hinckley yards was »M to Greenacre brothers by Geo. Du-ust H d«y« The big pork - r «»«•« in a shipment of about thirty head which averaged over five hundred p miiils, ami this one in psrticu'ar weighed 725 pounds. The lot brought the top of the market for the shipper. Elgin reported thirty cases of typhoid fever in one week and the next week the tests made by Health Officer Fischer show that the Elgin milk snpp'.y was below the standard. Mr. Fischer claims that the milk is not responsible fur the typhoid fever scare of the previous week. Tbe sanitary condition* of the milk depots and delivery wagons are first-class, but tbe omission of the August, inspection caused the milk to drop iu quality. Workmen engaged in digging in the gravel bank on the Charles Lathers farm near Beloit, Wis., last week have discovered a quantity of Indian skulls and other bones, together with beads and arrows. The farm is supposed by the students of Indian folk lore to have been the site of the last Indian wigwams in Rock county, and the relics are be­ lieved to have been left by the Sacs or Winnebagoes which were driven thru by United States troops iu the Black Hawk war. It is said tbe Winnebagoes' council house stood on the Lathers farm. At the end of summer, wbei accu­ mulations of typhoid breeding filth are largest, flies are most likely to carry germs of this dread disease. The first cool nights drive the pests to seek shel­ ter, and they naturally swarm into the waruPh of inhabited houses. There­ fore the next two weeks are tt e time of year when it is most necessary to ex­ clude flies as thoroly as possible and destroy before they contaminate food all those that obtain access to the house. Every housewife should take special care to fight flies at this season when a little extra caution may prevent sick­ ness and death. Some unknown party who was not prompted ty a kindly feeling for auto­ mobiles has been busy scattering sharp pointed tacks along the Naperville rt>ad and auto drivers are swearing death to the villian if he is ever found Gener­ ous rewards have been offered for the arrest of the guilty party. Eleven autos had tires punctured west of Nap erville and one driver picked seven tacks out of one tire. This is the same sec tion where the sharp pointed steel spike was buried in the ground and many tires were punctured by it some months ago. Those who have formed them­ selves into a vigilance committee say that the fiends if found will be dealt with severely. While Miss Meyers was bearing her class in grammar recite last Wednesday at the Lakeside district school in Bureau county, a masked bandit eutered and with two revolvers robbed the teacher and her twenty two pupils of #5 00, escaping on horseback Defore an alarm could be given. Too terrified to make any resistance, tbe children clung around their teacher, while the robber searched their purses for money, in the meantime enforcing silence by tbrt-ats to kill at the first outcry. Finding that Miss Meyers had only $8 00, the bandit forced all the boy pupils to stand up in a row while be ransacked their pockets. Ap­ parently disetinted with the small amount of plunder, he left the school house after threatening to kill anyone who started in pnrsuit of him and disap peared down the first cross road. Parties of farthers are searching for him, but no trice of the Jack Turpiu has been discovered. HONEY DEW CLUB MEMBER Passe* Away at His Chicago Home-- Known to Many Here.

S«*crft«r.v of State Rose Gives Paints lo riHindealer Readers. HAPPY OCTOBER BRIDES PRETTY WEDDING AT ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH. * The automobile law. which went into effect on July 1, 1909. provides that every owner of a motor vehicle shall, within ten days after he becomes such owner, file with the secretary of state an application for license to operate the same. Ttus license is valid for one year from date of issue, provided there is no chau^e of ownership withiu one year. In case of sale of motor vehicle, the li­ cense to operate it becomes void. The license caunot be transferred, ̂ n case of sale of a car, #hich has been previously registered, the vender and purchaser are r» quired, within ten days after snch sale, to join in a statement to the secretary of the state, showing such a change of ownership. Thereup­ on the original regi tration ceases to apply to the motor vebict$,so sold, and the purchaser must register tbe same as in case of an original registration. Whenever a car changes bands, a dif­ ferent number must be assigned to it. The new law expressly requires li­ censes to be renewed annually. The secretary of statu has so arranged that all parties who have registered cars nnder tbe late law may retain the num­ bers issued to them, providing they make application promptly upon the ex­ piration of their license, and at the same time indicate their desire to retain their present numbers. The fee for automobile license is $2. The fee for filing certificate of change of ownership is AO cents, and must be paid by the vender. Blank applications and certificates are furnished by the secretary of state upon request. Mcliuol Notes. Don't forget to fill out that excuse blank your child brings home with bim after being absent.

Rev. A. Sojof, pastor of the church, officiated. The ceremony was in keeping with tbe rales of tbe church and carried with it all tbe beauty and iinpreRsivenees that goes to uiMke up a scone of this natnre. The march to the altar was indeed an impressive sight It, was led by two little flower girls, Lillie Scheid and Viola Rothferuiel, both of whom carried lilies of the valley. Misses' Kathryn Kennebeck and Maude Schreiner and Messrs. Henry Kennebeck and F. G. Schreiner followed next in the capacity of bridesmaids and beet men, respec­ tively. Mrs. Peter W. Freund, as matron of honor, Willie Kennebeck, ring bearer, auu tbe bride and groom followed in the order given. The bridesmaids wore dresses of white and carried white car­ nations and the matron of honor woie a gown of tan silk and also carried a bopquet of carnations, while tbe bride looked very pretty iu a robe of cream colored silk down. She carried a shower bouquet of bridal roses and her veil was gracefully held in place by a wreath of lilies of the valley. After tbe words that made the two tnan and wife had been spoken by the pastor, high mass was said. Tbe gath­ ering at tbe church, made op mostly of relatives and friends of tbe happy pai*-, was qnite large. A wedding reception was tendered the couple at the home of the groom's parents, where several hundred invited guests gathered to pass the day with them. Tbe house decorations were most beautiful and appropriate for the occasion, the dining room and table be­ ing especially beautifully decorated for tbe occasion. The presents received during the day by the newly-weds were numerous, be­ ing of both the useful and ornfcmental variety. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Soheid, who reside east of this village. Altho Mid* Scheid was born in Chjcago, she has passed most of her life in the vicinity of Mc­ Henry, where she is admired and loved by a large circle of friends. She is pos sessed with that pleasing disposition that never fails to make friends wher ever sbe goes. Being an exoellent type of young womanhood, she will make an ideal -companion for the man who has thus taken her for his wife. The groom is the eldest son of Mr and Mrs. John H. Kennebeck, well known and respected residents of this village. He, like the bride, has passed the greater part of his life in this vicin­ ity. He has always been regarded as one of McHenry's best young men, be­ ing honest, trustworthy and industrious. During the past summer he has worked his father's farm, situated a short dis tance from Ringwood, and for the first season has made an admirable showing as a farmer. Tbe farm will be tbe happy couple's future home, where they will be ready to receive their friends shortly. Mr. and Mrs. Kennebeck have the good wishes for a long, happy and pros­ perous life from their large circle of relatives and friends. K AMHOLZ-MILL/EK. Henry C. Kamholz, the jovial and accommodating clerk at the F. L. Mc- Omber haidware store, is now a bene­ dict Tbe knot that made him and Miss Hattie D. Miller man and wife was tied by Rev. P. Eickstadt at LaPorte, Ind., on Saturday, October 1, altho their friends were kept ignorant of the fact until Wednesday of last week, when the newly-weds made their mission to the Indiana city known to their friends. Mr. Kamholz left McHenry on Satur­ day morning and met his bride-to-be in Chicago. A LaPorte, Ind., train was soon carrying the couple to their desti­ nation and before his McHenry friends realized that he had left town Mr. Kam­ holz was again at his work. Tbe couple returned on Sunday evening and, just to pnt one over on their friends, the bride went to the home of Fred J. Nickels, while the groom made for the parental roof. The pair kept their secret until Wednesday and now they are making their home with the groom's ptrents. The bride is the danghter of Mr. and Mrs. John Miller of Chicago, who last winter made their home in McHenry. It was then that Mr. Kamholz formed the acquaintance of Miss Miller, and the courtship was soon on. She is a young lady who is universally loved and respected by all who have the pleasure of her acquaintance, and the groom is to be complimented on his excellent taste in his selection of a life companion. Tbe groom is classed among McHen ry's best young men, being industrious, honest and upright. During the past eleven years he has been a faithful em­ ploye in the bard ware store of F. L. Mc- Omber. Socially he is what may be termed a "good fellow" Mid has the esteem and respect of uriiountable friends and acquaintances. For the present the couple are making their home with tbe groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Kamholz, where they are receiving the congratulations of tjiAjp frlssds. MEETS TRAGIC DEATH. Rod? of Andrew Kinsala Found on Banks or Hanly Mill Race. With th^ barrel of a rifle, which had evidently caused his death, the body of Andrew Kinsala, a farm laborer, was found lying beside the banks of the Kanly mill race, about eighty rods from the highway, 5a«t Saturday forenoon by Mathias J. Freund. Mr. Freund, w>ho now occupies the old Hanly homestead a short distance south of town, had occasion to come to town last Saturday forenoon and on his return trip made the discovery. At first sight he thought that it was a man asleep, but drawing closer to the form be was soon convinced that it was a corpse that confronted him. Without further investigation Mr. Freund re­ turned to town and notified Jnstice of the Peace H. C. Mead of his find. Po­ liceman -Tohf. Walsh WHS next notified and with a number of villagers went to the tragic scene and brought the body to McHenry, where it was placed in the N. J. Jnsten morgue. From the condition of the body when found It was quite evident that the victim bad been dead for some time and upon investigation it was learned that the deceased bad left the home of his brother, Henry Kinsala, on Thursday morning. Tbe unfortunate man, who had se cured employment on the farm of W. E Whiting, had left the home of his brother at 7:80 o'clock last Thursday morning and was on his way to the farm of his employer when the sad end­ ing came. It appeare that Mr. Kinsala was a great lover of outdoor life and hunting, and thinking that he might be able to shoot a mess of wild game on his way to the Whiting farm he carried his rifle with him. This was the last seen of the man alive. Just how the tragic end came will never be known. A bullet wound over hie left eye, with the ball penetrating his brain, was the cause of his death, but how it came about remains a mystery that will never be solved. From the evidence at hand it appears that the viotim was attempting to cross the mill race when the rifle was, in some unknown manner, discharged and that death must have been almost in­ stantaneous, as no signs of a struggle were noticeable at the point where the body lay when found. A jury, composed of Messrs. Dr A Mueller, T. J. Walsh, N. J. J us ten, John Stoffel, H. C. Mead and F. G. Schreiner, with Dr A. Mueller acting as foreman, returned a verdict of acci­ dental shoojting by a rifle in the hands of the victim, after all evidence leading to his death bad been beard, the inqnest taking place at N. J. J us ten's under­ taking establishment at two o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mr. Kinsala was about twenty-eight years old and unmarried. Since com­ ing to this vicinity from Wankegan, his former home, and where his parents now reside, he has worked on different farms and made his home with his brother, Henry, and family, who reside in the Wirfs block on the West Side. The funeral took place at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon and interment was in St. Patrick's cemetsry. Census of Illinois Cities.
