Miss Beulah Jahnke, local musician, whose desire for the delights of Chi­ cago has been satiated, has returned and augmented the musical colony of Fox Lake. ^ . Attorney Geo, W, , Field of Wauke- gan attended the second meeting of the village board Thursday and famil­ iarized himself with his new duties as attorney for the village of Fox Lake. The Chas. Harbaugh Lumber com­ pany has about completed its new building, which makes a very hand­ some addition to the down-town dis­ trict. A new scale is now being in­ stalled. Mrs. Louis Krossinan and daughters, Barbara and Lepa, were Fox Lake visitors Saturday and Sunday. The Misses Krossman attended the two opening balls at Ol^n's and Peter .j^frnsen's. Ex-Mayor Brown is now devoting' his time to motoring and baseball. It is reported that he made a very credit­ able showing at the practice game Sunday afternoon, when the Fox Lake baseball club had a try out between two opposing teams made up of the local residents. The village board met in regular session Thursday and again wrestled with the problem of marshal, many of the aldermen assuming attitudes of deep thought, which, however, was unavailing as means of bringing the matter to a successful conclusion. John J. Walsh still tenaciously holds on to the position, firm in the conviction that he is in fact as well as theory based upon his interpretation of the village ordinances, the marshal, while our mayor is equally positive that Mr. Walsh's official teem expired May 1. Perhaps the issue will be settled at the next regular meeting. We called attention last week to a "plethora of grand openings" to take place in the near future and our pre­ dictions came true, for there were three Saturday night, occurring at Olson's, Johnson & Panesi's and Goll's. At Olson's "on the hill," situated in a delightful sylvan retreat, located on a high promontory overlooking Fox and Nippersink lakes, joy reigned supreme and the younger set were very much in evidence, disporting their pedal ex­ tremities neatly encased in slippers and oxfords in uniBon with the excel­ lent music generated from a grand piano by Al. Martin, who for several seasons has caused a flood of compelling melody to radiate from this pavilion and reverberate thruout the hills and dales in that vicinity, becoming an ob- scession to the devotees of the light fantastic who are in the habit of at­ tending social functions given at Ol- sen's on the hill. During the progress of the second dance a halt was called, while Frank Spiczak made a short oration, extolling the virtues of the Fox Lake baseball club, importuning those present to attend the ball to be given for the benefit of the club, his peroration being delivered in the fol­ lowing words: "You treat them right and they will treat you right." After enjoying themselves at this popular resort, a portion of the crdwd trans­ ported by launches and automobiles to the Krasney and Goll resorts across the lake, where the festivities were renewed on a similar scale, thus the patronage of the pleasure seekers was fairly distributed between the three resorts and everything was lovely in the great Fox Lake region Saturday evening, May 17, 1913. Two more grand openings will take place next Saturday night. Th* ParoCrinatlMM iMdwU NHMM4I Our leading editorial last week took the form of a dissertation on "The Struggle for Prestige," germinated from close and impartial observation of the local political situation, with Reinhold Muench as the central figure. We had intended to enlarge on this subject and dilate upon the pertinency of itis ' application to local conditions involving the struggle for political prestige in the Fox Lake region. ^ Under - ordinary circumstances it would be reasonable to. presume Muench would be content to rpst'upon his laurels after rising to the dignity of "Boniface," ..."Political Demosthe­ nes," "BottjJj&'Marimbaphone Player," "Ventriloquist," etc. But as we have ptffrrt&'d out the struggle is "Unceasing and all pervading, with no sign of a let-up," therefore, altho twice defeated he still comes up smiling with enthus­ iasm undiminished, imparting courage to his lieutenants and marshaling his forces for the crucial battle May 20, when he plans to ride rou^h shod over his opponents; nothing daunted, to storm the ramparts and rout the en­ emy, turning the gun upon ' them as they retreat, thus consigning the op­ position to political oblivion. Theft can We look for the "heralds, mounted upon gaily caparisoned steed, clad in armour, blowing a fanfare from their trumpets, announcing the pres­ ence of our hero, followed by a con­ course of citizens, plebeians, hoi polloi, political tatterdemallion, etc., mad with joy, voicing their approbation with strident shouts of approval," to"which we called attention som£ time ago. Reverting to the original con­ tention, we venture to state that in the event of Mr. Muenoh's political aspirations being sustained at the polls Tuesday, that such endorsement will be used by him as a stepping stone to greater things, an event that wouild lend additional confirmation to the theory that the "struggle" prevails even in petty politics from the lowest political divisions to the highest hon­ ors tjiat can be conferred upon inan- -Wis sat EIVSISM U The season is rapidly approaching when love will reign and romance will dwell within the sylvan retreats of the great Fox Lake region. Love, that magic entity, the omnipresent and un- definable force that shapes j destinies and holds undisputed sway * over the human race, the common property of all, a something that cannot toe monop­ olized, is not subservient to/wealth or social position or timid in the presence of poverty. It blooms forth in the most squalid surroundings with the same vigor that characterizes its growth amid the most gorgeous splen­ dor; the same in quality, without devi­ ation from its original purpose, vik, to furnish the eltmt^ df ab earthly hap­ piness. When you are a willing captive, sub­ ject to tender ministrations of Cupid, the sun seems to shine with greater brilliance and the silvery moon floods the landscape with a radiance that seems to heighten the charms and ac­ centuate beauties of the object of your affection. It is beyond the power of language to adequately' describe the thrills of soft caresses grudgingly bestowed with just the proper tension Of resistance to add charm to the situation and prevent satiety, when accompanied by burning words couched in terms of undying ad­ miration. The singing of the birds, happily en- sconsed in their rustic retreat, the soft accents of the cricket song, the katydid's melodious chant, the babbling brook that purrs a monotone as it pre­ cipitates itself over miniature Niag­ aras, threading its way thru wooded dells, bathing the straggling roots and giving sustenance to the trees guard­ ing its course and kissing the leaves of the foliage lining its rugged shores, all of these--yes, all of them, seem to echo the exquisite joy of "Love's Young Dream," budding into romance, mak­ ing existence one Elysium of unalloyed happiness, which cannot be exceeded by any other delight known to the human race at the present time, and we venture uf say that this condition will continue for all time to come.

Times, and who at one time published a paper here, has just written President Wood row Wil­ son a letter, in which he withdraws from the race for the postmastership in that city. We herewith reprint the article and letter as it appeared in last week's issue of the Chenoa Times: It was generally supposed that A. O. Rupp would be appointed postmaster at Chenoa. In view of his great work during the thre^ Bryan campaigns and his strenuous efforts on behalf of Woodrow Wilson, Judge Dunne and Louis Fitz Henry, the office was con ceded to him by all. He at the last minute decided the matter differently, however, mailing the following letter to Congressman Fitz Henry for trans­ mission ,to tW president: Tli* Chenoa, 111., May 8*1013. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, \ President of the United States, -; Washington,' D. Cf My Dear Sir-- My heart is in the Cheno'a Times, and it grieves me to think that I would have to neglect my newspaper if I wore to become post­ master. Besides, I am too live a Dera ocrat to ,be confined within the re­ straints of the ciyil service rules, be­ ing ever imbued with a burning de­ sire to light for Democracy with pen and voice. For these reasons 1 beg to withdraw my application as a candi­ date for the office of .postmaster at Chenoa. Congratulating you on the auspicious opening of'your .administration, wish' ing you success to the end and pledg­ ing ymf ay continued support, I re­ main, Very truly yours, A. O.
