One quarter of the people die before the age of 6, one-half before lt>, and only one person out of every hundred lives to the age of «5. This is the real story of human existence and if a kind Providence has spared you and given you health and strength to do good in this world you have been blest and should be grateful. Why some of us ornery, no account ones are permitted to live, while on the other hand th good often die young, is a mystery the human mind cannot fathom*. EXECUTOK'8 NOTICE. Mullen & Hoy, Attorneys.

To THE EDITOR: "Let there be light; and there was light*" How easy, how simple for others to suggest how things ought to be done and what to do. while those more interested find themselves delving into the profundity of ways and means, utility, desirability, possibility and probability of dishon­ esty and graft, while considering mu­ nicipal changes! Some time ago the morning train on which the writer has been riding to the city for many years struck a man as he was driving across the tracks, freeing his team from the wag­ on and landing the driver in the dry gutter. A physician and myseif left the train and as I took the man's wrist and observed his cadaverous look, remarkt. "He's a dead one." The doctor, who was looking at his pupil or iris. said. "He is not dead yet--now he is!" This shows what a fine distinction there is between dead and DEAD. YOU may have thought upon reading my last letter wherein I commented upon ; > « 1 » - i n t l i i c v i I -L1U- £aili L'i iX« IIIIS age in ten years that f thought it was DEAI>. while I only regarded the (wx>r. crippled, scheme riddled victim dead. The subject, however, seems to have toucht someone with a large and re- ponsive heart, one who has been vis­ iting in the village occasionally during the past fifteen years, and who. in so far as I have been able to learn, does not vote here, who is not a tax payer here, who owns no property here, but who. from his eminent position as a visitor, considers himself l>etter quali­ fied to settle all local disputes than those who live here, pay liberal taxes, aid the governing body, encourage advancement, education, honesty and morality. His unbounded interest in village affairs might have led him a few years ago to touching the president of the it N. W. Ry. for a much needed vil­ lage improvement, but he didn't! Still he "has always known with regret that a few people in the town have always retarded and discouraged anything that would improve or benefit the vil­ lage or community?" Let us look at this a moment. The subject which called forth this gentle­ man's letter was the statement made by myself that a sewerage system was not needed in this village. In his re­ ply he makes the above insinuating statement. Does he know what he is talking about? If not, how much will we derive from his erudite sugges­ tions? At the time of locating in McHenry the writer of these lines put more money into a home than was invested in any residence within the village. Was that "retarding" -village pros­ perity? At his own expense he placed street names on every street corner in the village. Did that "discourage" improvement? The village did noth­ ing toward maintaining the advantage so freely given: where are the street names now? President Gardner said the village owed the new depot to the writer alone. Is that opposing "any­ thing that would improve or benefit the village or community?" Again, seriously, does the gentleman know whereof ke speaks? Further he says, "These same people would if they had their way still be burning candles for light." I know of no law preventing this if they wish, but this shows how far behind the times his thoughts really are. Still, I have met some very, bright, earnest people since coming to this village, but I confess I have never met this erudite, esoteric critic who visits Mc­ Henry. Regarding the water works: I be­ lieve the people are making good use of the water in sprinkling (heir lawns, but so long as the water is contami­ nated by bird filth, and bird bodies are removed from the standpipe by the peck, it is a wonder that it did not do more harm than good. And by the way! Wasn't the primary bid on the water works and electric engine to­ gether about $14.01)0, and this contract, after rejection, was awarded the same firm for about $22,000 without the elec­ tric |>ower attachment? I think no one will say "the water works are not a benefit"--to some. He says: "The government and all sentiment have proven l»eyond a shad­ ow of a doubt that vaults and cess|>ools are breeders of serious diseases and all well governed cities will not permit them." It is so easy to make state­ ments, but let us have facts. Every month for years I have received the list of publications from Washington and have a large number of them and Year Books on hand and I would thank the gentleman if he will tell me in which circular, bulletin or year book I can find the statements he asserts. Also tell why traffic is allowed in Pou- drette, as a fertiliser. Henderson's Handbook of Horticulture says: "Pou- drette, a mixture of swamp muck and night soil, is a common article selling at from $12 to $15 a ton, and at this price, unless it contains too much of the absorbing material (muck) is equal to l>onedust at $40 per ton." Human excrement contains phosphoric acid, stable manure does not, hence the dried feculent matter from septic tanks and town cesspools has commercial value. further, I will state that vaults and cesspools, as such (per se), are not disease breeders, but the government has shown that flies visiting these car­ ry disease. And in so far that 'senti­ ment" proves anything, it is simply nonsense. into the belief that the earth was flat, that the sun revolved around th® earth, it led Jeff Davis into an effort to dis­ rupt the Republic, the people into giving Cook and Peary North Pole medals, it introduced Christmas, it raised Easter from old pagan to Chris­ tian service, etc. Nothing in m Sen­ timent proves uothing. He says an asphalt walk looks better than a board one. That depends en­ tirely upon their state of preservation, and some of those in the town reflect very seriously on the intelligence or honesty of village officers who saw them laid. This sewerage advocate points out how the lay of the land of the village will insure a "perfect system" and ex- clains, "Let us rid ourselves of our ref­ use in a sanitary manner and have a well governed town, so attractive that strangers who come here will want to stay." What a virtuous outbreak! In anal­ ysis it shows that in getting rid of "our refuse" in a "sanitary manner" he, without due process of law or consent of the government, wouia pour his filth upon his neighbors, producing a most unsanitary condition, deprive them of the rights of a pure stream which induced them to come here, in­ flict a curse upon them and at the same time accept their tax money which is paid for protection and which every government is in duty bound to yield! He would be so ungenerous, narrow- minded and inhuman as to disregard the rights and privileges of others, considering only himself, and then stigmatize them as selfish and unpro- gressive if they object to his filthy pollution. Then, wouldn't it "impress strangers and make them wish to stay" to row their boats and catch fish in a mass of floating, defecated filth! What superb sanitary conditions he would have in a well governed town! This is what he characterizes as "good work" and suggests "continued improvements" to make the town "attractive" so it will become a "pros­ perous city." All this is a strabismic way of seeing things, he is hitching his horses to the wagon tails foremost. Did Chicago establish a sewerage sys­ tem, paved streets, asphalt walks, elec­ tric lights, good drinking water, street cars, etc., to induce strangers who came to prolong their stay? Oh, no! Don't let anybody fool you with this specious argument. There were 50,- 000 people in Chicago when I became a resident, there were 200,000 before a sewer was put in in the street in which 1 lived, and there were almost two million before I could connect a build­ ing which I formerly owned with the sewer. Yet a handful of puerile, pic- ayuneish politicians, some of whom I have seen making public nuisances of themselves, insist that this passive town of one thousand people must have what the most prosperous city in the world did not have until it had long outgrown its swaddling clothes and evidences of life were unmistakable. Regarding good government: No member of the board should ever be allowed to do work for the village'and a resolution to that effect cannot be too quickly adopted. No man should be allowed to put up a building of any kind without a permit, which should be granted only after inspection of the premises, and no shed or barn should be tolerated on a main street or beside a residence. Every village bljock should be bisected by an alley and all such secondary structures should be in the alley. One or two grades should be establisht and all walks laid on grade. No walk less than six feet in width should be tolerated. A fire or­ dinance should control the character of all new buildings according to loca­ tion antj^propinquity, and the destruc­ tion of useless and unsightly ones., All telephone and telegraph poles should be set in alleys or the wires placed in conduits. The village should have absolute control of the width of the streets and none allowed less than four rods between curbs. All gratuities to board members or marshals should bQ misdemeanors. Any officer tolerating gambling, slot machines, importing or housing lewd women or conniving any immoral practice should be impeached, fined and disfranchised. All rules and laws should be rigidly enforced. Conduct the town along these lines and strangers, even fifteen-year-long visitors, upon breathing the air of morality and decency, might be in­ duced to become citizens. Presto! change. F. M. GOODMAN. it not better for people who wish it to be able to take a bath in a room for that purpose, with a bath-tub in it, and live as people should in this day and age? The water system has made this possible. Now put in sewerage to carry away your refuse for health's sake. Cesspools and catch-basins are unhealthy and breofiers of disease to public health, and as your town con­ tinues to grow and after you have passed thru one serious epidemic of typhoid fever, scarlet fever or diph­ theria someone will realize the neces­ sity of carrying away waste matter that is a menace to public health. The physicians of the village know that many a case of typhoid fever has been caused by some vault contaminating a vein of water running to a well where people have drank this water and be­ come contaminated or infected with the disease. I believe, if I am not mistaken, that all the sewerage from the live and progressive city of Elgin is carried by the Fox river, and, by way of com­ parison, how many people who are living here now know or remember that the great watch factory of Elgin wanted to locate in McHenry and re­ ceived no encouragement from the people of McHenry to do so? And what has this factory done for Elgin? Made it famous all over the world. Regarding injunctions that some say would-be brought by our sewers empty­ ing into the Fox river, let me say that this question was settled in the United States supreme court some years back, when the city of St. Louis made the attempt to restrain the city of Chicago from emptying its sewerage into the Mississippi river, and now all the sew­ erage of Chicago, which contains 2,000,- 000 people, goes thru the drainage canal and i,nto the Mississippi river to St. Louis, where the people of that vast city drink the water from this river. It is claimed by scientists and by ex­ amination that water in a running stream purifies itself every four miles; besides, the writer has never heard of the water in the Fox river being used for drinking purposes. The writer has paid taxes for several years in this town and for the present water system, altho the water mains have never been laid on the street where the property is located that these taxes are being paid on. This being the case, I am glad the improve­ ment is here and was made and still say, keep on making them, beautify your town, encourage manufacturers'^ locate here and thereby increase the value of all property. Make your mer­ chants successful and contented, also the growing young men and women. Because some other village or town is behind the age that is no reason why we should be. Remember, also, that a large part of the income for McHen­ ry today is from city people who spend the summer months here. Improve your village, make it a city if possible, thereby demanding and obtaining bet­ ter transportation to all points, and let your watchword be "I will." By the time this article is printed the president of the village board will have been elected, so it could positive­ ly have no effect or bearing on his elec­ tion, and I hope his motto will be pro­ gression and not penny-wise and pound foolish and to do good to the greatest number. For t)^ benefit of the public I wish to statl^ffcat I am not a contractor or engaged in any kind of building, but just an ordinary tax payer who desires to see the village grow to a modern *nd progressive city.

To the Editor Plaindealer: In reading your valuable paper under date of April 13, the writer reads with interest the objections stated by the candidate for president of the town board this spring against installing a sewerage system, and for the sake of enlightening him, and the public, will make a few comparisons. The gentle­ man in question is a contractor, I un derstand. I will ask him if he ever gave a figure on the cost of a building and found before the structure was completed that it cost more than was originally estimated it would? I can answer for him and say yes, that esti­ mates sometimes exceed more than forty per cent over the original figures Kven if our water works flid cost more than double the original figures, is there a single tax payer who would care to. dispense with them? Have they not saved many dollars in losses by fire? And does it not look better to have fine, green, well kept lawns in a pretty town than to see them all Sentiment led the people burned up for lack of moisture? Is QUARTER OF A CENTURY. ITEMS CLIPPED FROM PLAINDEALER OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. The fisherman, with hook, line, bob and sinker, is now on the war path. At the school election on Saturday last Isaac Wentworth was re-elected school director without opposition. We learn that H. C.

Locke of Chicago has rented the bakery in Gilles' block and will, on or about May J, open a first-class bakery and restaurant. This has been a long needed want in this village and we bespeak for Mr. Locke a liberal patronage. The McHenry Brick Manufacturing company has commenced operation, getting their yards in shape for work. They will put in a new machine and make this season repressed brick. They have a large number of orders ahead, and will rush the yard this sea­ son to its fullest capacity, making 20,000 brick a day. Who says our population is not in­ creasing?
