Kaler Sunday, I rt^ m A Ion# planned visit,, to the home of her daughter in MeHenry came to an abrupt and sudden ending last Friday evening when Mrs. Anna Mary Mix, mother of Mrs. John Miller of this place, passed away isoon after her. ar­ rival at the Miller home here. M rs. Mix, who has been a frequent visitor in the home of her daughter here during the past few years, and who thru these visits has become known to many of our resident^ and readers of The Pl&iudealer, arrived in the village on the 4:45 train on the above mentioned evening. In view of the fact that her arrival in MeHenry was not looked for until the following evening there was no one at the depot to meet her. Mrs. Mix on her arrival here appeared to be in perfect health and to friends woo happened to be at the station expressed her great pleas­ ure in being able to be out once more. She appeared to be in the happiest sort of a mood and even refused to be driven to the home, saying that she would enjoy the short walk immense­ ly- 0tt4ter arrival at the Miller home she was met by her granddaughter, Margaret Miller, who was at home alone at the time. A few minutes after she complained of not feeling well and before^ the little Margaret could call assistance the venerable old lady had toppled over. Assistance soon responded to the little girl's call for help, but in spite of every effort on the part of neighbors and the physician in charge death won out. Anna Mary Jane West was born in Ohio on June 8, 1839. She was mar­ ried to George J. Mix at Newton, la., on June 28, 1867. To the union were born seven children, five boys and two girls. Of these but four survive, as follows: George Albert Mix Mad Joseph Lawrenoe Mix of Chicago, Mar­ garet E. Htcks of Chappell, Neb., and Mrs. Mary R. Miller of this village. Besides these, she leaves two brothers and one sister and a host of friends to mourn. The beautiful life apd Christian char- acter of Mre. Mix can never be for­ gotten. She drew about her a loyal host of friends, among whom the little children delighted most to show their love and devotion. The white ribbon of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was one of her proud posses sions. At the early age of fourteen she united with the Methodist Epis­ copal church, of which she has con­ tinued a faithful worker. A service was' held at 2:30 on Sun­ day afternoon from the home of her daughter, the Rev. E. A. Roberts, pastor of the Methodist church here, officiating. The body was shipped to Chicago on Sunday evening and taken to the home of her son, George Mix, at 4933 Erie street, where services were again held on Monday, and from which place the body was borne to its final resting place in Arlington cems- tery. Tho gone you are not lost to me, The space between is naught. The farthest star can never be Beyond the range of thought. CARD OP THANKS. We wish in this way to express our sinoere thanks to the kind neighbors and friends who assisted us in any way in our recent sorrow. Especially do we feel indebted to the young people who sang and to the Royal Neighbors. MR. AND MRS. JOHN MILLER. MR. AND MRS. GEO. MIX. LAWRENCE MIX.

BASEBALL NEXT SUNDAY - - Manager Schmitt of the M^fffettry baseball team announces the opening game of the season, which will take place at the. new ball grounds on the Owen property, near the mill pond, on next Sunday afternoon, May 4. For the opening date the local manager has booked the Volo All-Star&. The game is merely for the purpose of looking over his men in a real con­ test and for this reason the game has been booked with the Volo aggrega­ tion. Many new faces will -be seen in the MeHenry line-up and within* few weeks Mr.' Schmitt hopes to be able to bring some pretty good teams to this village to compete with our boys. Three pitchers have been notified to report for duty next Sunday and all will be given a try-out.

I - George Murdock, who during the past several years has pulled the fast morning and afternoon train thru this village, and who has been in the rail­ way employ for over fifty years, has been retired and pensioned by the Chi­ cago &' Northwestern railroad com­ pany. Mr. Murdock's record as an engineer is remarkable, never having injured a passenger, or been laid off, suspended or discharged, a record that iB seldom attained by a railroad man, especially one who has followed the vocation as many years as ha& Mr. Murdock^ "Movies" at the Central Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF MEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSES FORM TOR BUSY PEOPLE. The city of Harvard is to have still more pavement this year. Concrete will be used instead of brick this time. The village board of Richmond has given the Public Service company a franchise in that village. The exten­ sion of the line into Richmond must be completed with six months. . Plans for the annual meeting of the Fox River Valley Medical association to be held in Elgin Tuesday, May 13, are being arranged. An extensive program is being prepared for the ses sion. " »' The Cook County Herald, published by H. C. Paddock at Arlington Heights, has-just installed a new lino type machine of the very latest de sign. The machine represents an out­ lay of $4,000 and the editor of that paper expects the machine to pay for itself within live years. The machir* does the <jWork of five skilled typeset­ ters. Editor Paddock is a wide-awake newspaper man and, brieves in keep­ ing abreast of the tioies. We congrat­ ulate him. " * One of the very first tilings accom­ plished by the new city council at Woodstock was the establishment of a new ottice, that of city auditor, and the abolishment of the offices of city comp­ troller and collector. The duties of the auditor will embody those of both the abolished offices, as well as the col­ lecting of water and light bills, at­ tend to the sale of lamps and other duties. The new ollice carries with it a salary of $1,200 and the auditor will have an office in the city council rooms where he may be found, during busi­ ness hours every day of the week. Dr. R,, M. Curtiss of Marengo has brought suit against the county of Me­ Henry for $5000 for services rendered in attending smallpox cases at Ma­ rengo, when the city suffered an epi­ demic of the disease about a year ago. An attempt by Dr. Curtiss and the board of supervisors to arrive at an equitable settlement in the matter of the Dr. Curtiss charges proved a fail­ ure, hence the institution of the suit. * & A change of venue to Boone county has been asked and granted. The case will be heard at Belvidere next Mon day. V. S. Lumley of Woodstock and William L. Pierce of Belvidere are attorneys for Dr. Curtiss, and the board of supervisors is represented by State's Attorney D. R. Joslyn and C. J. Hendricks of Harvard. 1 State's Attorney D. R.-Joslyn in­ tends to go after police magistrates and justices of the peace in MeHenry oounty who have not filed in the coun­ ty court a report as required by law, says the Harvard Herald. Under the statutes it is expressly provided that justices and police magistrates must file an annual report in the county court before March of each year for the inspection of the county superin tendent of schools. There is also a provision that if the report is not sat­ isfactory to the court and the superin­ tendent of schools, the dockets of police magistrates and justices of the peace may be called for and examined by the school superintendent. Under the law there is a penalty of 925 a day for fail­ ure to make the required report. It is not likely any of the police magis trates, or justice^ of the peace will fail to have their repprts ready when called on by the state's attorney, who declares his intention of having the law lived up to in this respect. It is said one or two police magistrates whose fees have been large are taking the province of the state's attorney to interfere in the conduct of their office, but they are likely to arouse the state's attorney to a point where he will go after them good and hard. Woodstock Sentinel: Couitty Clerk Guy E. Still on Monday morning of this week received from H. M. and I. N. Boomer of Marysville, C'al., the sum of 935,1 which amount was refund­ ed to the county of McHehry by Messrs. Boomer as the amount expended by the county for the burial of one John Boomer, under Order No. 342, issued July 19, 1894. About three weeks ago Mr. Still received a letter from the gentlemen aforesaid, in which letter they said that they believed the coun­ ty of MeHenry had paid the burial ex­ penses of Crystal Lake, and asking for further information in the matter. Mr. Still searched the records of recent years without locating the item sought, and then he, made inquiries of prominent Crystal Lake residents concerning the said John Boomer, with the result that he learned that the man had died about twenty years ago. Turning back to the'old records he found Order No. 342 issued by the county for burial ex­ penses of John Boomer. He wrote to H. M. and I. N. Boomer, informing them that such an order had be6n drawn and stating the amount, and on Monday morning he received full pay­ ment of the sum exj>ended. No^expla- nation was offered by the men in re­ gard' to their relationship to the de­ ceased John Boomer. ~ MARRIED LAST WEDNESDAY MISS CHRISTINA WEBER BECOMES yjFC OF NICHOLAS 8. PITZEM- A very pretty church wedding was solemnized at St. Mary's Catholic church in tills village at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning of last week, when Miss Christina R. Weber and Mr. Nicholas S. Pitsten were Mnited in marriage, Kev. A. Royer, pastor of the chufcli, officiating. . Misses Barbara. Weber and Kathryn Plty.en and Messrs. Frank Welgart and Nick Weber attended the couple. The bride was gowned in white crepe de meteor, wore a hridal veil and carried a bouquet of white bridal roses. The bridesmaids were attired in cream col­ ored crepe de chine and carried white and pink carnations. The wedding mai*ch was played by the church or­ ganist, Sister Ancilla, while the cus­ tomary ring ceremony was used. After the ceremony at the church the couple, with the immediate mem- bei's of their families, gathered at thg home of the bride's father, where a reception took place. The couple were the recipients of many useful as well as ornamental presents tnruout the day, which were presented ""them by relatives and friends. In the evening a large number of their young friends gathered at Smith's hall at Johnsburgh, where a wedding dance was held. The bride is the fourth daughter of Nicholas Weber, one of our most high­ ly respected rural residents. She was born and raised in the immediate vi­ cinity of MeHenry, where she has passed her entire life. She is a pleas­ ant young woman, endowed with all the good accomplishments that go to make the model wife of today. She has many admiring friends in MeHenry and vicinity, who extend her congrat­ ulations. . The groom is the oldest son of Mr. and Mi*s. John l'itxen of Pistakee Bay. He has always lived at home and is possessed with many good qualifica. tions. A short time 4igo he entered the employ of the American Terra Cotta and Ceramic company at Terra Cotta. They wtU make their bome ip the John Justen house on the corner of Elm street and Maple avenue. They are now getting the home ready for occupancy and will be at home to their friends some time next week. The Plaindealer joins their many friends in extending congratulations. I COMPLIMENTARY DINNER A complimentary dinner was given at the Mcllenry House on Tuesday evening of this week in honor of our mayor-elect, Simon Stoffel. About forty business- and representative men were present. The dinner itself was one of the dandiest ever partaken of at a like gathering in MeHenry and Landlord and Mrs. J. C. Bickler are to be complimented on their excellent taste of preparing and serving the dinner. A notable feature of the occa­ sion was the presence of three clergy­ men, Revs. A. Royer, D. Lehane of this place and Edw. Berthold of Johns­ burgh, all of whom responded to re­ quests for short talks. Simon Stoffel spoke at some length regarding his political views and assured all a fair and square administration. The event was in perfect harmony with those previously indulged in by the MoHen- rjghbusiness men and already we can see where these meeting are bringing the citizens of MeHenry closer togeth­ er and are creating t hat boosting spirit generally.

Brefeld, election Cudgel TWELVE SALOONS The Village board met in special ses­ sion at the council rooms last evening and licenses were granted to twelve dramshop keepers. This is one more than we had last year. Rumors are afloat that 'another application may be made shortly. In many of the towns ordinances limiting the number of saloons have been passed of late and we believe that it would be a very wise plan for the MeHenry council to place a limit without further delay. If this keeps up it will soon be necessary to turn all our buildings over for saloon purposes. We made inquiry of some of the saloonkeepers here and it seems to be the feeling that twelve saloons are plenty for the village and the Me­ Henry limit should be placed at twelve. OPENING OF NELL'S PAVILION Nell's dancing pavilion at Columbia Park, near the Johnsburgh bridge, will be formally opened for the season with a big dance on Wednesday even- „ . . . ing of next week, May 7.

The event, which will go down in the history of the local Knights as a very successful one, was the exemplifi­ cation of the first, second and third degrees of the order to a class of some forty odd candidates. . ' The day, altho opening in anything but an encouraging manner, blossomed out into a most ideal one and as a re­ sult over two hundred visiting Knights wetfe here to take in the special event. The visitors represented a number of Chicago councils as well as Elgin, Waukegan, Kenosha, Woodstock, Har­ vard, Lake Geneva and a number of others. The first degree was put on in the morning by the team representing the Harvard council with Grand Knight Thos. Carey of that city in charge. The work of the Harvard council was exceptionally good and the team from that city is to be commended for*the part taken in Sunday's work. ; <• At the conclusion of the first degree an intermission was announced and the visitors were escorted to the various hotels and eating places about {town, where dinner was served them. Shortly after two o'clock the work of the second d®??66 was started. Mtftsra. Harry^ Barton and Justin Mc­ Carthy of Chicago, with the assistance of Rev. D. Lehane of this place, put on this degree and we dare say that the second degree was never better exemplified in this village than on this occasion with these three most capa- able men in charge. State Deputy Leroy Haokett of Chi­ cago and Joe Coffee, the Chicago fight promotor, and who is quite well known to many of our readers, were in charge of the third degred and their work de­ served the many oompliments extend­ ed them after all was over. Both of these gentlemen are thoroly acquaint­ ed with the parts that they take in the degree work and the 350 or more Knights .assetfibled at Stoffel's hall, where the ceremonies took place, were more than delighted with the manner In which everything passed off. Of the candidates about twenty-five joined the MeHenry council, which will give the local Knights of. Colum • bus the largest membership < of any fraterr^l society in MeHenry or vicin­ ity. The membership of said oouncil now numbers very close to 150. While this is a very good showing for the MeHenry council, the mem­ bers are not satisfied and will endeavor to swell their membership to the 200 mark within the next year.
