TIETZ, Prop HISS EVA KING AND JACOB STEFFES ARE UNITED. The hearts and souls of Miss Eva King and Jacob Steffes were united in the holy bonds of matrimony at St. John's Catholic church at Johnsburgh at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning of this week, the Rev. S. Wolfgarten, pastor of the church, speaking the solemn words. The ceremony was a very pretty affair, the bridal pair being attended by Misses Clara Lay, Emma Bugner and Lizzie Miller and Messrs. Joe King, Stephen King and Joe Miller, the first named young lady acting as maid of honor. The bride was becomingly gowned in a dress of white satin with crystal net. She wore the customary veil and carried a shower bouquet of bridal roses. The maid of honor wore a pink satin gown with gold trimmings and carried sweet peas. The bridesmaids wore white embroidery dresses and carried roses. The wedding march was rendered by the church organist, Joseph Schmitt. A reception was tendered the young couple at the home of the bride's par­ ents immediately after the ceremony, the couple being joined during the day by a large number of invited relatives. Many beautiful gifts were received. The bride is classed among Johns- burgh's most highly esteemed young women. She is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs/ John King and has passed her entire life at that place, where her friends and acquaintances may be numbered by the score. The groom was born and raised at Johnsburgh, where he has always lived. He is a wide-awake young busi­ ness man, being a member of the firm of Nick Steffes & Co., the cement firm which has been doing business in Mc­ Henry and vicinity for a number years. The couple will make their future home at Johnsburgh, where they will go to housekeeping at once. Congrat­ ulations. CHICKS NAY LOSE PROTECTION BiniimiMMOIIIMB--g----e------«-- TWO PULES OF CANAL IS DUG PROJECT TO CONNECT CHAIN Of LAKES BROADENS OUT VERY MATERIALLY. LEGISLATIVE MISTAKE LIKELY TO CAUSE THEM TO BE SLAIN. The project to excavate a canal be­ tween Long Lake and Fox Lake in order that the time between Chicago and resorts might be shortened mater­ ially and a third of the trip be made by motor boat has broadened out among hotel owners and boomers of the lakes region until now with the initial two mile canal half done, channels are be­ ing cleared, minor canals dug and dredging is being done to make pos­ sible a motor boat trip between Long Lake railway station of the St. Paul road from the platform of which one will be enabled to step into ong's motor boat and go clear to McHenry, 111., or all thru the chain of lakes. The original project for a canal con­ nection between Fox and Long lakes is in the hands of Yoder and Schwartz, dredgers and contractors, of Napanee, Ind., who are shoveling out a ditch two miles long, twenty-eight feet wide and six feet deep between the two resort lakes. The canal begins by the side of Long Lake railroad station, three- fourths of a mile from the lake proper. Its completion and other work now in progress will make possible uniftter- rupted connection by water and motor boat between Long, Fox, Grass, Chan­ nel, Marie, Katherine, Deep, Pistakee and all of the resort lakes of the north­ western part of the state. One of the novel features is the dam being built co-operatively by the people of the entire district at the east end of Long lake. Completed once, it is to be built higher. Tracks of the nature of railroad tracks are laid in the water and on these, below the dam, a sort of a movable dock is to be operated. Motor boats will run into this dock and be windlassed up to and over the dam one at a time. The trip thru the chain of lakes and over to the Fox river by water to Mc­ Henry will be fourteen miles uninter­ rupted save by the necessity of being lifted over the dam. The canal and its supplementary work will open to easy traffic many practically number­ less bus and cab lines in the district. MILLER WILL PITCH IN CANADA. Joe Miller, the Johnsburgh pitcher, who has made such an admirable show­ ing during the past two seasons, has signed up with a team in the Western Canada league and on Monday morn­ ing left for the North, accompanied by his wife. Mr. Miller has the making of a first-class twirler in him and we hope to see him make good. We are satisfied that he has the arm, speed and control and all that is needed to make him a first-class twirler is to acquire the scientific end of the game. Success to you, Joe.

Twenty-four members of the Metal Polishers' local 175, Woodstock, en­ joyed their seventh annual outing last Sunday. They arrived in McHenry on the 9:45 a. m. train and left this village at 10 o'clock for Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake. Capt. F. A. Beller, with his excursion boat, "Navigator," met the gentlemen here and at once proceeded for the northern lakes. A stop was made at Mellin's hotel at Bald Knob, where a sumptuous dinner was par­ taken of, after which the trip was con­ tinued to Fox Lake, where most of the afternoon was passed. The polishers returned to McHenry in the early evening and returned to the Typewrit­ er City on the 7:32 train. The outing was highly enjoyed by all and the boys from the county seat have no regrets for the treatment received from the McHenry people, Capt. F. A. Beller and our northern friends at Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake. LOW RATES EAST. Special low rates via the Chicago & North Western to Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia.

STOFFEL Phonesi res!dep?^e« Attorney General Stead has discov­ ered in senate bill 39, pertaining to state game, a flaw which, if the bill is approved, will leave prairie chicken (pinnated grouse) in Illinois absolutely without protection from hunters for four years after July 1. Discovery of the error in the intent of the bill was communicated by the attorney general to Governor Deneen. The bill provides, first, that it be un­ lawful to kill, hunt, etc., bob white quail, etc., "from the 18th day of November of any year to the 11th day of November (both inclusive) of the next succeeding year, nor more than three by one person in one day." The provision relating to prairie chickens, says the attorney general, instead of throwing open the season for their killing one week each of the four years, provides for a closed season of one week and makes it legal to kill the chickens thruout the rest of the period of each year. The bill, the at­ torney general says, is constitutional. Our lightning rods are 32 wire pure copper cable. Nothing better for the money in the market. Better protect your buildings. Wm. Stoffel.
