W. FREUND WEST McHENRY, - - PHONE 303 ft- : BSE^, TBTFE LWR OT (iOOD TOFTEE We wish to advise you that we have In­ stalled in our store a sew ROYAL ELEC­ TRIC COFFEE HILL. This machine is equipped with steel knives which cut the lierry into practically uniform clean cut particles, Instead of grinding and crush­ ing it, as by the old method. All coffee mills heretofore used will only crush the berry, mutilating the minute oil cells, allowing the coffee oil to evap­ orate1, thus Impairing the strength and flavor. By this new process the little oil cells remain unbroken, the essential oil (food product) cannot evaporate and the coffee thus retains its fine, rich, aromatic flavor in its full strength. This Is one reason why a pound of coffee cut In this mill will make from twelve to fifteen more cups of full strength coffee than will any coffee ground in the old way. The lover of good coffee finds here a rich­ ness of flavor never found in coffee ground in che ordinary way. Another feature about this mill is that you may have your coffee cut as flue as the finest sand and It will still be practi­ cally free from that ffne dust which is opoduced by the old method of grinding. You will, therefore, always have a clear cup of coffe instead of the muddy effect-- a result of using the old style mills. ROYAL CUT COFFEE is ^lso adaptable for percolators or French drip coffee pots. TRY A POUND OT OUR COFFEE CUT ON A ROYAL MILL AND WE UWW YOU WILL BE riEASED WITH- Tiff RESULTS.

SUMMER RESORT WHS ALONG WXUVnt, ATflSTAKEE MY AN# OTHER POINTS fB wnwia a n PICTURES AT FMTAKEE--THIS IS U* GATTA WEEK. The summer season, while quite sat­ isfactory, did not come up to expecta­ tions. . The Lake Countywar association held its annual picnic at the Minneola hotel at Pox Lake yesterday. Regatta week is in progress at Pis- takee Bay this week. Races are being pulled off daily at 10:00 a. m. The members of the Pistakee Yacht club will enjoy their annual 'hardest ball and dinner at the club house next Saturday evening. The Pistakee Yacht club house ha$ been treated to a new coat of paint, which gives the place a very much im­ proved appearance. Misses Jessie Kaufhold and Clara j Aleth-Hansen of Chicago were Satur-1 day and Sunday guests at the Orchard Beach hotel on Fox river. A singing society of Chicago put up at the Orchard Beach hotel last Sun­ day. Not a dull moment prevailed during their stay at that place. On next Monday, Labor day, the sups won by £he different contestants in motor and yacht races will be present­ ed at the Pistakee Yact club house. An ice machine is being installed in the residence of Senator William Lori- mer at Pistakee Bay. This is the first machine of its kind to be installed at Pistakee. O. W. Richardson, the Chicago car­ pet magnate, was seized with a para lytic stroke at his summer home at Channel Lake one day last week. His condition was not considered serious. This will be the last big week at the various resorts along Fox river and the lake region and many of the families are already preparing to make their departure for their winter homes. George Taylor, while out sailing on Pistakee bay on Wednesday afternoon of last week, received a sound ducking when a gust of wind capsized his boat. The P. Y, C, patrol did the rescuing act. Misses Marie and Lenora Duffy have been entertaining a party of six girl friends at Pistakee Bay during the past two weeks. An auto trip to Twin Lakes, Wis,, was enjoyed one day last week. ^ The children of Pistakee gave a minstrel show at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion last Sunday afternoon. A fair-sized crowd turned out to listen to the well prepared program that was presented. A motor boat race, under the auspic­ es of the Pistakee Yacht club, was pulled off at Pistakee Bay last Sun­ day forenoon. Nine boats entered the race, which was won by A. J. Weck- ler's speedy craft, the "Kathryn." Mrs. Albert C. Reincke, who has been a guest at the Orchard Beach hotel during the past seven weeks, re­ turned to her home in Chicago Sunday evening. She was accompanied by her husband, who passed the day at the popular resort. A number of Dundee enthusiastic canoeists made the trip from Pistakee Bay to the down river city Sunday. The canoes were shipped to McHenry Saturday and from here hauled to Pis­ takee. The trip from Pistakee to Dundee was highly enjoyed by all. A party of Woodstock young people made things quite lively at Ben Sel­ ling's dance hall one evening last week. The county seaters brought their own music and a delightful time was had. They also brought a singer with them who entertained the crowd with several very capably rendered selections. Summer resorters and visitors were afforded a rare treat at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion last Saturday even­ ing when moving pictures of Commo­ dore James A. Pugh's hydroplane were exhibited. The views were taken dur­ ing the recent races at Dubuque, la. A large add enthusiastic crowd turned out to witness this pictures and listen to other entertainment that was fur­ nished. The last regular .yacht race of the season took place at Pistakee Bay last Sunday afternoon. The race was to decide the winner of the club cup. The two contestants for the cup, Will­ iam Moyer and J. D. Duffy, both went in to win, the former coming out vic­ torious with some to spare. The win­ ning boat was in charge of Clarence Peterson, Pistakee's champion skipper. Six yachts comprised the season's entry list. The Windthorft-Mannerchor of Chi­ cago will hold a two days' outing at Columbia Park on Fox river next Sun­ day and Monday. The party will ar­ rive in McHenry on the 4:47 train Sat­ urday evening and will be carried to Columbia Park in the passenger boat Navigator. A printed program for the two days' outing tells us that there will be something doing at this popu­ lar resort during the society's stay there. Commodore James A. Pugh's hydro­ plane, the Disturber II. was shipped to New York City last Thursday and will enter the races there. The boat, since the Peoria accident, has been in Chicago for repairs, but is agiiin as good as ever. The fastest boats in the world will compete in the rades at New York and the residents of Pista­ kee are all pulling for their favorite to bring home the laurels. The races take place on September 3, 4 and 5. The play, "The Lonesome Pine," Bert Mosher's newest and brightest, offering the young successful star, Roy La Marr, becomes interesting from the start.

Standing up in the rear end of the boat in an endeavor to push the craft from the shore into deep water, Walter Brevier, twenty-two years of age, of Chicago, lost his balance and fell from the boat into deeper water and was drowned on Thursday night, Aug. 17. His body was recovered the follow- ing Saturday morning, the bottom of the river being dragged with grap­ pling hooks. Three sticks of dyna­ mite were exploded in the watef Fri­ day in an endeavor to bring the body to the surface, but the attempt failed. Brevier had been spending a few days at the resort on Fox river known as "Shorty's Place." Thursday even­ ing, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Berns, also oi Chicago, the young man stepped into the boat to take a ride on the lake up to the lotus beds. The boat was grounded on the shore and the young man arose in the stern of the boat and placing an oa^against the bottom of the lake attempted to free the boat. The boat suddenly shot out into deep water and young Brevier lost his bal­ ance and fell into the water. The momentum carried the boat several feet l»efore it could be stopped. The man and the woman in the boat peered in the gathering darkness in an effort to aid the young man, but it is be­ lieved that he neve)1 rose to the sur­ face. He was an accomplished swimmer and it is suspected that he became en­ tangled in the weeds and never arose. Aid was summoned from the resort and a search for the body started. Grappling hooks and a diver all failed to locate the body and Friday it was decided to try dynamite. Three sticks of dynamite were dis­ charged in the water, and huge col­ umns of water rose high in the air after each detonation. But still they failed to dislodge the body. About8 o'clock Saturday morning the body was found by a party of search­ ers, who dragged the bottom with a pair of grappling hooks. In spite of the fact that the current oi the river was swift, the body was found only about ten feet from the spot where Brevier fell. This lent credence to the supposition that he had become entangled in the weeds at the bottom. The accidental drowning took place in Fox river where the river flows thru Grass lake, into the lotus beds. QUARTER OF A CENTURY.

The trotting stallion, "George O.," went to Harvard on Saturday last and entered the "free for all," in which were "Jay C.," "Umber" and "Bloom- field," and took the purse in three straight heats in 2:40, 2:38 and 2:36. This was the time given by the judges, but parties who held private watches sp,y the time was several seconds faster. As some misstatements have been made in relation to the time made in the match race at Liberty ville, between "George O." and "Comanche," ve would state that the time $us given by the judges on that day was as follows: The first two heats were taken by "George O." in 2;39i and 2:42*. The last three by "Comanche" inJ2:41J, 2:43J and 2:45*. FROM MAUCH CHUNK. PA. We have a very interesting letter from L. N. Lincoln, a former McHenry boy, but now stationed at Mauch Chunk, Pa., where he is holding the responsi­ ble position of superintendent of the Mauch Chunk Gas company. L. N. and the writer worked together on the McHenry Journal (decased) about twelve years ago and we are always glad to hear from some of the old boys. In his letter the writer states that he had just returned to work aftor a two months' rest. The rest was made necessary thru over-work aijd worry. Mr. Lincoln also enclosed a dozen or more post card views of the city in which he resides and from them we judge that he is living in a very pretty spot. That he has lost none of his fondness for fishiri^ is evidenced from the statement he makes to the effect that he had landed the limit, forty speckled trout, three times dur­ ing the month of July. The letter al­ so tells ol his having entertained an­ other former McHenry bo^, A. G. Stevens, of Waukegan, who was his guest a couple of weeks last fall. He closed his letter with regards to all old friehds. mm15 F. A. BOHCANDER GENERAL MERCHANDISE ' ijjf Canitnl Stock, $25,000.
