A wedding of more than ordinary importance to McHenry young people took place at St. Joseph's Catholic church in Waukegan at nine o'clock on Tuesday morning of last week when Miss Lucy Zens, a former McHenry girl, was united in marriage to Mr. George Do we, brother of Henry N. Dowe, now employed in the bar room of the McHenry House. The ceremony took place at 8:00 a. m., the couple being attended by Miss Elizabeth Zens, sister to the bride, and Leo Dowe, nephew to the groom. The bride was attired in a gown of white marquisette with cluny trim­ ming and took her part most grace­ fully. She also carried a bridal bou­ quet of roses. After the ceremony the couple, with a number of invited relatives, gathered at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. AnnaZenz, at211 McKiuley Ave., where a reception was tendered the pair. The home was prettily decorat­ ed for the occasion, the pink and white color scheme being carried out. The bride is well and favorably known to many of our young readers and for many years made her home in this village. She moved to Waukegan with her mother and family a few years ago and since that time has made that city and Chicago her home. The groom is a young man of excel­ lent habits and holds a good position in one of Waukegan's factories. He has been a frequent visitor in McHen­ ry during the past year and has made quite a number of friends on his trips to this place. Mr. and Mrs. Dowe are making their home with the bride's mother for the present, but expect to go to house­ keeping in the very near future. The McHenry friends extend their best wishes for a long and happy jour­ ney thru their matrimonial life. IN HONOR OF NR8. KNOX. The following item, which will be of interest to many Plaindealer readers, appeared in the Woodstock items of the Elgin Daily Courier of last week Thursday: A pretty quilting party for "Sweet Remembrance Sake" was given Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. Clarence Whiting at her home on South street in honor of her mother, Mrs. Knox, of McHenry. All the Woodstock friends of Mrs, Knox who were at one time McHenry residents and some others from adjoining cities were invited and while they quilted they enjoyed remi­ niscences of days spent in McHenry. A delicious three course luncheon was served. The guests have a most en­ joyable time to remember for the aft­ ernoon was all too short for the happy company. The ladies present were: Mesdames Dell Whiting, P. Cleary, William Carey, Ed. Knox, Matt. Ilan- rahan, M. Fitzsimmons, John Phalen of McHenry; Mesdames John Bolger, Mary Cobb, John Walsh, Dennis Corr, John Hailisey, Emil Windmueller, James Comiskey, Margaret GilJies of this city; Mrs. Thomas Hayes of Har­ vard, Mrs. Henry Purvey of Crystal Lake, Mrs. tlernek of Hebron, Miss Keefe of Greenwood and Misses Cahill of Chicago and Genevieve Knox of Mc­ Henry. DANCE AT RIVERSIDE HOUSE. The young people of McHenry and vicinity will be delighted to learn that the Riverside dances will be continued a while longer and the next one of the season will take place at that resort next Saturday evening, Sept. 9. Sher­ man famous orchestra of Woodstock will be in attendance and the very best in the line of music may be expected. The proprietor of the Riverside House is well pleased with the manner in which the young people are showing their appreciation of his efforts in giv­ ing them the best in the land in the way of dancing and hopes that the at­ tendance will continue as in the past until the close of the fall season. All are cordially invited to be present at the next dance. AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF RENTS SALOON PROPERTY. Anton Engeln,' McHenry's pioneer saloonkeeper, has rented his saloon property to Mathias Bauer and gone into retirement. The new proprietor, who at one time conducted a similar place at Volo, has already taken pos­ session of the place. Mr. Engeln has rented the living rooms in the Colby block and will move his family thereto just as soon as Mrs. Flora Colby and son vacate the fiat, which will be some­ time between now and the Bret of October. That the Colby family will leave McHenry is a certainty, but just where their new home will be has not yet been decided by them. N. E. CHURCH SERVICES. The order of services at the McHen­ ry M.

MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Waukegan is very ambitious of land­ ing the new insane hopital that is to be erected by the state. The Western Thread company at El­ gin is complaining of shortage of help. The company has employment for a number of boys and girls who are will­ ing to learn a trade. The "Princess" is the name of a new vaudeville house just 6pened at Woodstock. The house is built on the same ideas as the city theatres and has a seating capacity of 270. Elgin is to have a new ten-story fire­ proof hotel. The structure, with its furnishings, will cost $373,000. Of this amount it is expected that $7«),000 will be raised among Elgin capitalists. Invitations have been extended to Gov. Charles S. Deneen, William Lori- mer and a number of other political leaders to be in attendance at the Mc­ Henry county fair at Woodstock next week. Conductors of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad are promoting a plan for obtaining at least $25,000 for the support of the home in Highland Park for aged and disabled railroad employes. The school board of Hebron has rented several vacant buildings about the village in which the school work will be carried on until the completion of the new building which is now under progress. It is expected that the new school house will be ready for occu- pany in about three months. The new state automobile license law became effective last Friday and the police in the larger cities as well as the smaller ones are watching for all owners who have failed to procure the annual license. The law requires a number tag six inches high and two inches wide with each letter five- eighths of an inch wide. The tag must be visible 150 feet and must be attached to the automobile by means of brackets instead of being swung on. The members of the Birnble tribe of gypsies, sixty strong, left Muskegon, Mich., Wednesday night of last week with a view of making a three hyndred mile trip in their wagons in order to be in Kenosha on Sept. 25 to answer charges of assault with intent to do bodily harm which are to be heard in the circuit court at that date. Attor­ ney R. V. Baker, who represents the Bimbles in the case, received word this morning that they had -started on the long trip any that they would be in court on the day set for the trial. Tedy t'oughlan, the complaining witness against the Bimbles, is also a gypsy and he is supposed to be in the neigh- hood of Lil»erty ville, 111. It is claimed that he will be on hand to appear as a witness. Grayslake Times: Robberies in this section of the county are becoming al­ most a daily occurence. Saturday night as Joe Hnz was going to his rooming house, near the canning factory, he was attacked by two men that had been hanging about the depot the greater part of the day. The operators kept on their guard all the evening as the suspicious looking men were keeping in the dark as much as possible. As Mr. Enz was about to start for home something seemed to tell him that the road was not clear as it might be and wanted to leave a valuable watch with the night operator at the Soo depot, which the operator refused to do. As he was near the Tobey residence the two men came into the street and pro­ ceeded to get the valuables that he had on his person. Mr. Knz did not have am money in his j>ossession and took iM ht2 lit ha were only a bit of tobacco ahead of the game. ^Then Ln/. was attacked he called for help, to which Mr. Tobey responded as soon as he could get suf­ ficient clothing on to come to the street. This occurred between twelve and one o'clock. As the hold-up men saw Mr. Tol>ey coming they bade fare­ well to the scene and lost uo time mak­ ing headway up the line. There is a belief that these same two crooks are guilty of robbing the postoflice and a general store at Rondout, the night previous. These two places were loot­ ed and the clever yeggs secured about $75 in stamps and cash. They entered the store in which the postofiice is lo­ cated thru the side door by the use of a skeleton key. BUSINESS HOUSES TO CLOSE SUNDAY. There is a movement on foot among our business men to close their re­ spective places of business all day Sun­ day from October 1, 1911, to April 1, 1912. A petition has been circulated among the business men for this pur­ pose and most of them, we are told, have or will sign up the agreement. WIRF8-MATSON. The marriage of Peter Wirfs to Mrs. Julia Matson, both of this village, took place in Chicago last night. We have not learned any of the particulars. Mrs. Matson, who is a professional nurse, has been making her home here during the poet two jears, the watch that he had in his pocket in the palm of Ms hand, thus the hold-ups FOX LAKE BOAT WINNER IN LAST SUNDAY'S MOTOR BOAT RACE ON FOX RIVER HERE. The "Conisteo," a Fox Lake boat, won the ttaotor boat race here last Sun­ day afternoon. The Sharpshooter, Harriet H. and Rebecca finished the course before the winner but were'dis­ qualified. The race brought out the largest number of entries of the season, six­ teen boats taking part in the after­ noon's sport. The Lucy finished sec­ ond. The owner of the winning boat was awarded the beautiful .-up donated by C. W. Edwards of Chicago. The sec­ ond prize was a $5.00 hai, donated by John J. Buch. The boats entered and the manner in which they finished the course fol­ lows: Conisteo, Lucy, Babe VI, Rosen- thiel, Dauntless, Daddy. Mary Magde- lene, Rose, Thistle, Jonell, Nora B. and Jewel C. The names of the dis­ qualified boats are given above. Monday's race brought out but eight entries and was won by the Ev, with the Rebecca a close second. The boats finished in the following order: Ev, Rebecca, Babe VI, Jewel C, Eleanor. The three other l>oats did not finish. The prize for this race was the Dr. G. E. Krueger cup. The last race of the season will be pulled off next Sunday afternoon, September 10. The first prize will be a cup, while a suitable prize will be awarded to the second Iniat. On Saturday evening. September 16, the McHenry Power Boat, club will hold another dance at the Riverside House, at which time the presentation of the cups will also be made. COLBY BUILDING KTSOLD JOSEPH ENGELN BUYS PROPERTY AND WILL OPEN AUTO GARAGE. The Colby property on Water street, consisting of the three-story brick structure and land running to the Fox river, has been purchased by Joseph Engeln, the hustling young machinist. The deal, which was made thru An­ ton Engeln, was closed the first of the week and just as soon as the necessary legal papers are returned to the pur­ chaser the building, especially the first floor, will undergo a general remodel­ ing and be fitted up as an automobile garage. That end of town has long since felt the want of such an enterprise and The Plaindealer believes that Mr. F.ngeln has made no mistake in coming into possession of this property. As above stated, the first floor will be entirely remodeled and will be opened to the public early next spring. A cement floor with a new front in the building will give the place the ap­ pearance of a first-class city garage. Mr. Engeln's intentions are to carry a complete line of automobile supplies and accessories and will also maintain a repair department. While he is a first-class mechanic himself, Mr. Engeln has informed a Plaindealer representa­ tive that during the busy season he will have the assistance of at least one or two experts. This means that Mc­ Henry will have a garage second to none in this part of the state. Here's wishing the new enterprise success. See Mrs. E. W. Howe for early fall millinery.

While being rowed across Long lake in a small boat Sunday afternoon, William Baining, forty-live years old, a dredge engineer residing in Napanee, Ind., fell from the stern of the craft and was drowned. Desj>ondency over domestic troubles and the fact that Baining had threatened to take his life leads Coroner J. L. Taylor of Lib- ertyville to believe the man may have committed suicide. As soon as the word spread that Baining had been drowned an effort was made to locate his body both by diving and later by means of dragging. If this fails dyna­ mite will be exploded in the hope that it will cause the body to rise to the surface. The body has not yet been discovered, altho an earnest attempt still is being made to locate it. Bain­ ing was engineer on a dredge that is digging out a channel between Fox and Long lakes. Friends say he seemed despondent and they are inclined to believe the sbicide theory. FALLS INTO RIVER. A one-act drama in which W. A. Fisher carried the role of a hero was staged on Fox river at sunset last Sun­ day evening. It seems that one of the members of the Windthorft-Manner- chor of Chicago, who had been pass­ ing some time in McHenry, was about to enjoy a ride in a row boat when the craft was upset at a point known as the "deep hole" near the bridge at this place. W. A. Fisher, who was an eye witness to the mishap, set out in a row boat and rescued the gentleman. The rescue came just in the nick of time, however, as it was found that the victim was in a stage of collapse when he was pulled in by the hero of the evening. Don't forget the moving pictures at ibe Central Sunday, Sept. 10. 12-1 )RT DOINGS ALONG FAX RIVER.. AT PISTAKEE BAY AND OTHER POINTS WILLIAM BAINING. DRAINAGE ENGINEER, IS DROWNED IN LONG LAKE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Perkins have returned to their home in Elgin after a month's sojourn at Fox Lake. J. M. McOmber has closed his cot­ tage, Jonell, and, with his family, has returned to his Chicago home for the winter. Mrs. Jacobs has returned to her home in Elgin after passing a few days at her cottage on Fox river, near McHenry. The different hotels along Fox river, McHenry and Pistakee bay and lake all enjoyed an excellent patronage Sunday and Monday. Quite a number of the cottagers along the river and at the Bay have closed their summer homes for the season and returned to their winter quarters. A shoot and chicken dinner were participated in by quite a number at Graham's Long Lake resort on Thurs­ day of last week. The usual good time prevailed. Altho the season is officially closed at Pistakee Bay, quite a number of the cottagers are still occupying their summer homes and will remain for an­ other week or more. In last week's issue we erroneously stated that William Moyer's boat won the season's cup, donated by the Pista­ kee Yacht club to the boat making the best record in the yacht races. We should have said that it was J. D. Duffy's boat that took this honor. The Pistakee Engine & Boat Co. is the name of a new concern that is about to open up for business. The company has constructed a building on the shores of Fox lake, just south of the Pistakee station of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, to be devoted to the building of engines and boats. America won the international motor boat races at Huntington. L. I., on Tuesday of this week, when Dixie IV. defeated the British challenger, Pio­ neer. The Disturber II., owned by Commodore James A. Pugh of Pista­ kee Bay, came in second. Dixie IV. covered the course of thirty miles in about forty minutes. We have not learned the Disturber's time. On Monday morning, Labor day, at ten o'clock the free-for-all cat boat race over the Pistakee Yacht club course took place. The race was won by the "Sunny Jim," owned by James Mraz. At 2:30 p. m. on the same day a motor boat race was pulled off over the Pistakee bay six-mile course. The event was a handicap race with four­ teen entries. The "Wildwood," owned by W. J» Duffy, won. The presentation of the season's cups, which was to have taken place at the Pistakee Yacht r.luh house on Monday last, has been postponed until next Saturday evening, Sept. 9. The post­ ponement was made necessary thru the absence of Commodore James A. Pugh, who was in New York City at the time. The popular commo lore will be present next Saturday night and will present the cups personally. The various donators of cups to the Pistakee Yacht club during the season just closed were the following: Weck- ler Boat company of Chicago, Charles E. Carson, Fred L. Wilk, Sr., James Baggott, Sr., J. A. Tortenson, Commo­ dore James A. Pugh, Patrick Martin, F. L. Pasdeloup and the motor boat race judges. The judges consist of the following named gentlemen: Andrew McAnsh, Joseph Haas, F. B. Edelman, A. X. Schmitt and Samuel Blodgett. We will announce the winners of the various cups in our next issue. The people along Fox lake and Long lake are watching with interest the progress of the water channel that is being dug between the two above named lakes. The project was pro­ moted by the people of Ingleside and Fox Lake, assisted by people owning property bordering the two lakes. A company was formed known as the Long Lake Improvement association and is chartered by the state. The Yoder & Schwartz Dredge Co. was em­ ployed to build the canal between the two lakes at a cost of about four thou­ sand dollars. The channel is to be thirty feet wide and six feet deep, which will make the depth sufficient to carry a fifty passenger boat. This will In a way affect the bus line busi­ ness at Ingleside, as the channel when completed will run within a few reds Of the C. M. & St. P. depot, the only road that enters the two resort towns. The reason for building the channel was to give the people at Long Lake and Ingleside a direct water connection with the other chain of lakes. Upon its completion the people of Ingleside and Long Lake will have a direct waterway to Wilmot, Wis., a distance of fifteen or eighteen miles, and also to McHenry, a distance of twelve miles. The channel will be complete about the 15th of September, and the people are getting anxious as motor-boating is very popular, there being over three hundred private boats on Fox lake and about fifty on Long lake at the present time. REV. WM. VOELTZ MARRIED COUPLE GIVEN BIG RECEPTION HERE SATURDAY EVENING. Rev. William Voeltz was united in marriage to Miss Freida Schade of St. Louis, Mo , at eight o'clock last week Wednesday evening, Aug. 30,1911, the wedding being performed by the Rev. Smith at Concordia seminary at St. Louis. This pretty romance which has cul­ minated in the couple's marriage was opened at the St. Louis seminary about three years ago, at which time Mr. Voeltz entered that institution, after finishing a six-year course at Concor­ dia college, Ft. Wayne, Ind. Miss Schade was employed at the seminary at the time and has held her position there up until the time of her marriage. She is a beautiful type of American womanhood and her pleas­ ing ways soon won the heart of the man whom she now claims as her hus­ band. The happy couple left St. Louis on Friday night of last week and arrived in McHenry on Saturday afternoon. On Saturday evening the couple was given one of the biggest receptions ever recorded in McHenry, the event taking plaoe at th'e home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Voeltz on Waukegan street. The re­ ception was attended be about one hundred invited relatives and friends, there being quite a number present from out of town. The groom left McHenry about ten years ago. He first entered Concordia college at Ft. Wayne, Ind., to prepare himself for the Lutheran ministry. His studies at this place took up a period of about six years. From there he went to St. Louis, Mo., where, after three years of hard study, he complet­ ed h^s course and was admitted to the ministry at Concordia seminary on June 23, 14)10. After his graduation he came to Mc­ Henry to pass the summer and last fall was appointed to a charge at Cupar, Canada. His work in the nothern country was mostly on the missionary order. He remained in Canada until this spring, when he was appointed to the charge at Rochelle, 111., where he has been stationed ever since. Altho he has been stationed at Rochelle only a short time, his work there has been of the order that has won the comment of many older clergymen of that sec­ tion. The young couple left McHenry on Tuesday evening and have since then gone to housekeeping in a home that had been previously furnished by the (Hjpular young pastor for himself and bride. The Plaindealer joins with their friends in extending congratulations. Everything will be rosy at the Riv­ erside dance next Saturday evening. Hurry up and get there. 12-1 NEW DUTIES ROLFFOWN CLERK MUST REPORT ALL FIRES IN TOWNSHIP OF McHENRY. Town Clerk Chas. B. Harmsen, who has officiated in that capacity for a number of terms, will have many new duties imposed upon him as a result of a new state law just passed. Mr. Harmsen and all other town clerks in the state have received notifi­ cation of their new duties and powers, which will add materially to their in­ comes and make them liable to severe penalties for neglect to obey the re­ quirements of the law. Following is a summary of what is expected of all town clerks in the future: , The town clerk is required to visit the scene of all fires in the township and outside of the city limits as a re­ sult of which property has been de­ stroyed or injured. He is to look into the cause, origin and circumstances of these fires, and is especially to deter, mine whether they were due to care­ lessness or neglect. He is to make a full report to the state fire marshal of each fire and of the result of his inves­ tigations on a blank furnished for this purpose. He is to receive a fee of fifty cents for each fire reported aud mileage to and from the fire at fifteen cents a mile. A penalty of not less than $25 nor more than $200 will be assessed for an; failure to comply with the require­ ments of the law. The law also makes the town clerk a building inspector. Upon complaint of anyone or without complaint he is permitted to enter any building within his jurisdiction. If he finds upon such inspection a condition of building, con­ tents or premises which he regards as dangerous to persons or property he shall order such condition corrected and the owner or occupier of the prem. ises must correct it forthwith.
