Several plants have improved the appearance of room 6. Quite a number of the high school students are learning to play t^tinis. A girls' glee club of thirty members was organized in high school with Miss Schulze as director. The freshman class is reading "As You Like It," while the senior class is reading "Macbeth." The high school pupils are delighted with two McHenry high school songs, also a basket ball song. The new basket ball and the nets for the baskets have arrived and will be put into use immediately. Clinton M artin was elected captain of the boys' basket ball team and Inez Bacon for the girls' team for 1912. Basket ball is again in motion and we hope that both the boys and girls will be successful thruout the year. Four girls in the sixth room are struggling with Cicero, while six soph­ omores were brave enough to attack Caesar. There is quite a bit of "clicking" go­ ing on in the front hall this year, for many of the pupils have taken up type­ writing. Several boys in the fifth room are taking manual training. This is the first year that our boys have used texts in this line. Current events have been taken up again this year and will be disfcussed this week by Letah Page, Inez Bacon, Agnes Tesch and Genevieve Knox, The members of the physical geogra­ phy class have been keeping a daily record of the temperature, barometric pressure, humidity and the general features of the weather. The boys' basket ball team is pro­ gressing rapidly under the supervision of Captain Martin. The men are all in fine shape and will soon begin sig­ nal practice. Coach "Shump" Dolier*- ty will take charge of this week. A new rule was introduced last week, namely: That on arriving before school is called, all pupils shall take their respectyfe seats and quietly go to work; not a loud word is to be spok­ en and no one is to loiter in the hall. Remember that the next number of the lyceum course comes on Wednes­ day, Nov. 1. We feel safe in saying that this is one of the best concert companies that ever came to this town. The Alpine Troubadours please and appeal to the popular taste. Following is the schedule of the basket ball teams as it now stands: At McHenry Away Dec. 1 Jan. 12 Feb. 2 Jan. 26 Dec. 8 Hebron Mar. 1 Richmond Feb. 23 The girls' glee club now numbers thirty-one, namely: Ella Mollohan, Margaret Buss, Anna Knox, Eleanor Phalin, Marguerite, Genevieve and Florence Knox, Frances Welch, Mary Burke, Katie Buch, Elsie Smith, Edna Phalin, Esther Stotfel, Mamie Buss, Elsie Wolff, Agnes Conway, Corabel McOmber,.

INDIANA FOLKS.' Mr. J. W. Smith, manager of the Central opera house, takes great pleas­ ure in announcing the engagement of the new Perry production, "Indiana Folks," which comes to our village for one night only, Sunday, Oct. 22. The play deals with the rural life in Indi­ ana, in an entire different manner than any play of the rural order yet produced. There are no overdrawn types of characters, but each and every one is taken true to life from the in­ habitants of that section. Mrs. Ada- line Perry, author for the Perry at­ tractions, spent three months in the little village of Rossville, Ind., making Dundee Woodstock..

" There will also be some other very important club matters brought be­ fore the meeting and we hope for a representative turn out. D. G. WELLS, Sec.. EVERETT HUNTER, Com. 1& Headquarters for eehool supplies. N. H. Petesch, the Centerville drug-, g st, li-%j PROF. F. M. GOODMAN EXPESSES VIEWS REGARDING SUCH A PROPOSITION-HAR­ MONY SHOULD PREVAIL. To the Editor:--I have been informed that the Pishtocqua Bay (Pistakee) people held a meeting in the office of Deputy Sheriff Peters in the city one day last week to confer upon the ad­ visability of constructing a dam under the bridge at McHenry. To my notion this is a very ill-ad­ vised step and is in markt opposition to the peace and harmony which has prevailed among our people for some years, concerning the location of a dam. Every member of the community, I feel safe in saying, is more or less familiar with the quarrels, arrests, suits, etc., which followed the construc­ tion of an alleged dam two or three hundred feet south of the bridge some years ago; the bitter feelings engen- derd were finally overcome by the adoption of a more generous and al­ truistic policy serve all, injure none. To accomplish this and prove earnest­ ness of purpose an experimental dam was agreed upon and constructed and the experience gained has fully demon­ strated the wisdom exercised in its location and construction. Some of the residents along the river found it necessary to raise their banks and the farmers north of Pishtocqua, who had been promist protection, found that the level which was satis­ factory to residents and resorters did not interfere with their working the broad, alluvial meadow lands which they were afraid would be iuundated if a dam were constructed. It has been proven that the dam located Scarcely two miles below the village has con­ trolled the water level well up into Grass lake, and between there and Wilmot the river bed contains water enough for ordinary boats even after the Wilmot dam has been high and dry above water for weeks at a time. It has been found that a permanent dam in place of the temporary one and a few inches higher would answer the common demand and injure, no one, but unfortunately, at this time when provisions are assuming shape for a permanent structure, a few who have been working in a friendly way seek more than is necessary than that which would be eminently satisfactory to a very large majority and thus renew the old time misunderstanding and put matters back where they were in 1890; for they will surely meet with opposi­ tion if such a move is made. That this is being done without fully- considering others is shown by the fact that when the Fox Lakers talkt of a dam at Nippersink point those li^ng on Pishtocqua were up in arms at once and Brother Peters announced, "This is the parting of the way." But now as they have become united in their ideals they think that McHenry bridge is the proper point, without considering either the village folks or those l>elow. The only tangible reason that I can see for making this selection is because the land north of the bridge is higher and the dam could be built higher. But after all, is it desirable? The agricultural interests above the lakes are very great and must be protected, they have been promist protection and it is well to have the farmers our friends rather than enemies. I have been told that during a period of high water the year the bridge was built that a steamer passed over the road at the east end of the br *e, that a barn floated down and, s\ ck the bridge, which was resting o. boiler- iron supports, and so weakened it that some years alter it was deemed best to build concrete supports, inclosing the iron ones, as a measure of safety. There was no dam then between Wil­ mot and Algopquin yet, and several times since a large part of Rosedale and the land between there and the bridge road have been under water the new boat works and adjoining land would be perennially swampt; that is, if a higher dam were built and unless ^ higher one were made it were far better to rebuild the old one. The present dam has raised the water in Fox and Grass lakes from four to eight inches and has given thirty inches at my landing and which is qu^te uniformly maintained: the re­ cent heavy rains have raised it to fifty inches and my entire river front i6 inundated and every pier along the river is under water, considerable dam­ age has been done, ' There is now a foot or more water flowing over the dam, and as the south gates are closed the water is passing over tbe% lock walls on both sides and over the raised west bank of the river, flooding the entire meadow- Why most of this was not prevented by opening the gates I do not know. The lesson to be learnt from present conditions therefore is: That no dam more than a foot higher than the pres­ ent one would be serviceable, and if ^he.present one is thirty inches, as was agreed upon as an experiment, six inches more would be all sufficient and would probably give a few inches rise well iijf beyond GraSs lake above what it has now at normal dam level. Further, it shows that the gates should be open in flood times, which was promist. A dam in a village is a nuisance. The roar of the wat4r would reader the Riverside hotel useless. Every merchant, property owner and boat owner should oppose it, and the accum­ ulation of dead carcasses render it a menace to health. | F. M. GOODMAN. MRS. TaiiJPltWKE DEAD PASSES AWAY AT ST. H'CHAELS, KINN. ON OCTOBER 12. r Mrs. Philip Blake ipa^ed away at her late home at St. Michaels, Minn last Thursday, October 12, 1911, her death being due u bloi>d poisoning. The deceased was bora at Johns- burgh, 111., sixty-live years ago. She resided in immediate vicinity of her birth until iSTO, when the family moved to Minnesota, uhere she has continued to make her lu»me up to the time of making the journey to the world that lies beyond. They first sailed on a farm near St. Michaels aEu made thut their home until ultout twelve yea IN ago, when they moved to the \illage of St. Michaels. Besides a heart-broken husband, she leaves two sons, seven sisters, two brothers and a grief-stricken mother, the latter residing at Kingwood, 111. Two of her sisters, Mrs. 1'. W. Blake of Little Falls and Mrs. Adam Gilles of Minneapolis, reside in Minnesota, while the balance of her sisters and brothers reside in Illinois. The relatives and friends residing in McHeury and vicinity extend their sincere sympathy to the l»ei\eaved ones. A BEAUTIFUL STORY. Among the character's portrayed in "Indiana Folks," Mrs. Adaline Perry's latest play, produced by the Perry Amusement, company, which comes to our village Sunday, Oct. 22, the part of Polly Woggles played by Miss Edna May Mitchell is said to resemble Rose Mellville in Sis Hopkins more than any part ever written and is pro­ nounced by New York, Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City critics to com­ pare favorably. The droll comedy of Miss Mitchell thruout the piece keeps the audience in a constant" state of laughter and good humor. A.ltho the part of Polly stands out,, she is by no means unassisted in furnishing the comedy situations of the play. There is Pop Ramsey, the best carpenter in town; German music teacher: Cy Simp- kins, the village cut-up, and others who all lend their share to making "Indiana Folks," without a doubt, the greatest comedy drama of rural life ever written. Singing and dancing musical numbers are a distinct feature and prevail thruout the play. MRS. MARY WEBER DEAD. Mrs. Mary Weber, mother of Misses Gertrude and Kathryn and Peter H, Weber of this village and Mrs. Math. J. Smith of Zenda, Wis., passed away at the family home on Washington street at .'5:30 o'clock this (Thursday) morning, following fan illness of only four days. Mrs- Weber was taken seriously ill on Saturday evening last and since then grew steadily worse until the end came this morning. Her death was due to a complication of diseases.

Pencils, pens and pen holders at 14-t* TBE TALE OF A COAT IS PRESENTED HERE TUESDAY IN LOCAL­ IZED FORM. It will be remembered by our the­ atre-going public that "A Tale of a Coat" wfis presented at the Central opera house here a few weeks ago The play, it will also be remembered, made a big hit at the time. Since then some of our dran&tically inclined inhabitants have been lying awake nights in an endeavor to frame up something that would equal, if not excel, the efforts,of the company that put on th'e drama at the local play house. The great master-piece was finally completed and on Tuesday morning was beautifully executed. The local­ izing of the powerful drama made it a distinct success for the author, Mr. Lime Reieg, who also executed the principal role of "the detective." The synopsis of the dramatic revelation of the age ran something like this: Time--Fall of the year 1911. Place--Centerville. A farmer boy loses a valuable over­ coat. Lime Reieg, the detective, de­ tails himself on the case. After four days' search he comes upon a clew. In his haste to make the capture Reieg himself steals the coat that had been placed in hiding by the villain. The villain makes his departure, taking the short-cut, via the mill pond, to make his escape. The detective is greatly excited, fie spies Big Steve, the cop. Big Steve in hot pursuit of the fleeing fugitive. The villain is captured just as he was about to jump into the water. Villain is taken Jo scene of robbery. A hur­ ried examination fails to bring forth the desired confession. The town constable appears on the scene. A few questions tell him that the villain is guilty. The constable is seen escorting the vagrant to the po­ lice station. A sweat-box examination fails to revqal guilt. Villain is ordered to leave town in double quick time. Overcoat is returned to its rightful owner. Natural scenery assisted in making the drama the big success that it was. The author detective is now receiving offers for his play, but up to the time of going to press lias not reported any sales. CHANGE IN TRAM THE pens and ] Petesch's drug store.
