Mrs. Miller and daughters Pitiwif, tou hA-JLOBfir | •wihi - •> , Sunday, June 29, SG Peter's and S4. Paul's new Catholic church at Cary was dedicated with full and impressive ceremonies. A large procession of Knighis of Columbus, Foresters, Daugh­ ters of Isabella and a long line of chil­ dren in white costumes with flowers marched, headed by the Columbus band of twenty-five, pieces; a number of autos followed and finally Rt. Rev. Bishop Muldoon and the assift- ing in the ceremony. /* An address of welcpmelbyVillage Attorney C. T. Allen was delivered very eloquently and carried a message | of hearty welcome and deep appre­ ciation. The dedication exercises then proceeded, the bishop and assisting ministers being duly vested. xThe ex­ ercises consisted of the chanting of Psalms and canticles and prayers and bestowing benediction with the blessed water around the four corners of the edifice- This procession was preceded by cross and candle bearers and repre­ sented quite strikingly the setting aside of the edifice to the work of sal­ vation and the kindling of the light of the Holy Gospel in the minds and hearts of men/ The same procession tobk place inside as outside and then the grand finale befot'e the main altar. The litany of the saints, invoking their intercession with God for the spiritual and temporal welfare of the flock to whom this church is to be the sheep- fold, was then said. A solemn high mass followed, with Rev. Thomas Ley- don, celebrant: Rev. J. J. McCann, deacon; Rev. David (Sonway, sub- deacon, and Rev. Feeley, assistant priest to the bishop. Rev. Martin Mc- Evoy of Beloit, as master of cere­ monies, assisted by Rev. Thos. Maguire, Fathers Lonergan and Gies, assisted by Brothers Henry J. Lynch, D. F. Quinlan, Gates and Reiljy, attended to the congregation. There was only ode other oocasicm when such a musical treat was accord­ ed the community as the Holy Angels' choir, under the leadership of Prof. Adolf Erst, rendered at the mass at Cary last Sunday. Father Finn and his valiant Paulist choisters of world­ wide fame will never be forgotten by local patrons of gopd music, and Prof. Erst and choir will be likewise remem­ bered as the finest exhibition of mixed choir work. The mass was selected from Mozart's "Twelfth" and Gounod's most exquisite Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Del. Bishop Muldoon preached the sermon. Jt was an eulogy on the patrons of the new church, St. Peter andi St. Paul. He told how they, of such different temperament and educa­ tion, were united in life, united at death and their feast-day kept on the same day, June 29. St. Peter, as the foundation stone of the church, repre­ sents the stability of the unchanging doctrines of true Christianity; St. Paul, the great missioner, represents the zeal, the continuous life and the youth- fulness withnl of tjie church in gain ing souls and fitting into all conditions and all people; and h6w the two ideals must, work together, and they both needed reviving today. "To Make America Catholic" was not a scheme or vain ambition, but a positive duty for the religious organizations, which was the same as St. Peter's and St. Paul's to work for. The pastors and people were commended and encour­ aged by the words with which the bishopc losed his'serinon. The feature of the day from a social point of view was the hpspitality and courteous efficiency of the service the ladies of Cary rendered ai the banquet Meals were served mostly cafeteria style. Many more people could have been served by their^ admirable sys­ tem. In the afternoon an outing at Fox River Grove park was indulged in by many visitors. Among those in attendance, besides officiating clergymen mentioned above, were many distinguished laymen of high place in judicial, governing and educational departments of society. Many messages of regret were re­ ceived from those unable to attends Notwithstanding the oppressive heat, Of which Sunday was the fourth con­ secutive day, the attendance was splen­ did. It is hard to conceive what the attendance would havg been had the weather conditions been less extreme. On account of the heat D. F. Quinlan, toastmaster, dispensed with the after- dedication speeches. The Spanish renaissance architecture with its "mission" modification is car­ ried out in the furnishings of the church quite as effectively itt: hi J he general lines of structure.

Bishop P. J. Muldoon of the Rockford diocese is said to be planning a trip to Rome to hold au dience with Pope Pius. The head of the Rockford diocese^ has not visited Rome since he was made, bishop, and now that the pope is in better health, he is said to be planning the visit shortly, and foo this reason has been attending the confirmation classes, church and hospital dedications and celebrations. Crystal Lake will have to do with her old depot. The citizens of that village have been after a new station house for some years past and a short time ago Mayor H. D. Hull got busy with the North Western officials. A letter from the North Western officials recently received by the mayor gives the villagers very" little encourage­ ment and it now looks as if the Crj stal Lake people will have to be content with the old depot. The Crystal Lake Herald, which, since the death of the late J. V. Beatty has been conducted by Mrs. Beatty, has been sold to County Superintend­ ent of Schools A. M. iphelton and L. W. Cobb of Woodstock, the purchasers taking possession of the plant on Tues­ day of this week. Mr. Cobb has been connected with the Woodstock Senti­ nel during the past four years, while .Mr. Shelton is too well known to need .m introduction. Mr. Cobb will act as editor and manager of, the paper in ^•he future, while the popular superin­ tendent of schools will act only in an Advisory capacity.

We wish the new firm success. • mm rust nivss IPCS AT OUR RESORTS RATHER HELL READ FIRST MASS JOHNSBURCa SUNDAY AT Last Sunday was another red letter day for Johnsburgh, the occasion be­ ing the reading or his first mass by Rev.

Shortly after 9:45 Father Nell was met at the church parsonage and es­ corted to the church. The line of march was headed by the school chil­ dren, followed by the several societies of the church, priests, altar boys and members of the Nell faurily. Just ahead of Rev. Nell marched three little girls, all of whom were relatives of the newly ordained priest. These girls were Martha Miller, Marie Huemann and Alvera Heimer.

Georg# Rehring of Cincinnati, O., acolytes; Jos. and Hen­ ry Nell, tliurifers; David Scully of Ire­ land, cross bearer. $.• At the conclusion of thechurch cere­ monies, Rev. Nell, ttoMher with the clergy assembled and Wput three hun­ dred relatives and friends, were served with a bountiful dinner. The dinner was served in Nell's Columbia Park hall. The afternoon was passed in vis­ iting and general jollification. Dur­ ing thfe entire afternoon and evening visitors and friends of the popular young priest called at the £ark and extended congratulation^,. In the evening at 7Sacred Heart devotions, led by Father- Nell, took place at the church. Artain the church was packed to its utmost capacity. After the services a return trip was made to the Park, where an appro­ priate and pleasing projfram was lis­ tened to.. Hundreds of people stopped to listen to this closing of the day's festivities. Rev. Kdw.. Berthold, pas­ tor of St. John's church at Johnsburgh, acted as toastmaster in the evening. Father. Nell was born in the city of Chicago and at the age of four his par­ ents moved to Johnsburgh, where he received his early schooling W the parochial school of that place. He re­ ceived his first holy communion and was also confirmed at Johnsburgh. ^Father Nell was always a gre^t favorite of the late Rev. Mehring. As a boy he served mass for the late rev- erand father and it was at that time taht ho decided to become a priest. He first began to prepare himself for the priesthood in the fail of 1901, when he entered St. Francis Solainus college at Quincy, III. Here he took up the six year classical course. During the fourth year of this course Father Nell's father died. This left his mother with­ out help and after careful'consideration he decided to give up his studies for the time being. After tlnt?e years at his homfe, two of which w<jye spent in teaching the Lily Lake s>ohool, he re­ entered St. Francis college. In 1908 he finished the classical course as well as a two-year philosophy course. In the fall of 1911 he entered Mt. St Mary's Seminarv of the West at Cin­ cinnati, Ohio. He finished the four year course in just exactly three years, he being ordained a priest by Arfsh Bishop Moeller at St. Peter's cathe­ dral at Cincinnati, O., on June 20. The week of his ordination was an exceptionally Imsy one for him and one that will probably never leave his memory. On 'June 16 he took the canonical examination before a board of examiners made up of the clergy in Cincinnati. On June 17 he received tonsure and the four minor orders. On J une 18 he was ordained sub-deacon, June. 19, deacon, and June liU, ordained ff priestJ Father Nell has already received a call and will leave this week for Quin­ cy, 111., where he becomes assistant pastor in St. Mary's church in that city. Father Nell is well pleased with his call. In view of the f&ct that he has passed many years at Quincy and also that he already has a wide ac­ quaintance there, it will seem like home to him, and the best wishes of our newi people will accompai fy appointed field of 1 mpah The regular season races begin next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. Miss Hazel Thompson, daughter of T. A. Thompson, proprietor of Sel­ ling's summer resort, became home­ sick for Chicago last week and as a result made a day's trip to that city. From late reports she is feeling better. Hotel proprietors are busy making preparations for a big crowd on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. Most of the factories and stores in the city CIOSQ this evening, not to reopen until Monday morning, thus giving the help a three days' rest. Cowboy Charles Westoa the cham­ pion cowboy pool player, is giving ex­ hibitions of his skill at Stilling's sum­ mer resort right along. Mr. Weston is indeed one of the best experts with the cue that has ever visited this seo- tion and it's a treat to watch .him pull off some of the, most difficult shots on a |)ool table. < The McHenry business men will en­ joy a day's picnic on the banks of the beautiful Fox somewhere below the dam on Tuesday of next week. t Ever­ ett Hunter, president of the boat fac­ tory, has kindly donated the use of his passenger boats to carry the boys down and back. The first boat will leave the factory dook at 5:00 a. m. sharp, the second at <i:00 o'clock sharp and a special boat will leave the Riverside pier at 9:00 o'clock. Breakfast, lunch and supper will be served and the boys are looking forward to a high old time. This w^ll be the first picnic ever held by the business men of the village and no doubt all who can will take it in. Landlord Thompson of Stilling's summer resort is making quite exten­ sive improvements in the lighting sys­ tem about the hotel and premises. A new system of^ electric lighting has been placed in the hotel, while the driveway leading to the hotel and grounds have also been fitted up with an up-to-date electric lighting system. Besides this, an auto shed has also been constructed for the convenience of au­ tomobile tourists. The regular routine of work about the hotel, which is so well looked after by Jack (Handsome) Oefiling, Was alsoconisderably lightened thru the addition of an electric wash­ ing machine. Omwasji days in the fu­ ture "Handsome" will press the button instead of using that powerful right arm of his. It's so much easier, don't you know, and, really, Jack never was built for light work, nohow. Activities at the Pistakee Yacht clutf opened on Tuesday of this week. On this day the young ladies of the hel^ their first card party of the sea­ son. On Wednesday the ladies of the club enjoyed themselves in a like man­ ner. These two events are held on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons of each week and are always highly en­ joyed by all. This (Thursday) evening at 8 o'clock the informal opening of the club will take place. On Friday night an informal dance will take place at the pavilion and on Saturday night another informal will be held. It is expected that these three events will be largely attended. The race pro­ gram for the Fourth is as followfe: 10:00 a. m., special power boat race: 2:00 p. in., special cat boat race; 2:30 p. m., special class A race. A<t 3:30 p. m. a swimming race will be pulled off; 3:45, tub race; 4:00, Fathers'sail race, 18-ft. cat boats. Fishermen at Pistakee Ray last week made some record breaking catches, in fact, the largest catches reported in the last twenty years were made. On , Fred Lehmaoa, who reaidaa at 2136 Roscoe St., Chicago, brought in the largqpt catch of pickerel of the sea­ son. The catch consisted of eighteeb of the largest and prettiest pickerel ever taken from the waters of that beautiful lake. The fish weighed from 4| to 14 pounds each and certainly were beauts. Mr. Lehmann made the catch while still fishing with an ordinary rod. Thru the generosity of Mr. iLeh- man, Clark ' Robb of . Algonquin^ also made a big "catch" of pickerel the same day. He "caught" nine of Mr. Lehmann's after the hero of the day had safely landed the fish on the shore at Stilling's summer resort. On the following day Dr. Pillinger and O. G. Elfring of Elgin and Walter Davis of Dundee landed fourteen pickerel from the. same body of witer. This catch weighed from 6 to 10t pounds each. That's surely some fish. Resorters at Fox Lake, last week wit­ nessed the launching of a new hydro­ plane, owned by J. L. Shaw of Chicago, who owns a fine summer home at that point. This is the first hydro-plane ever launched on Fox, or for that mat­ ter any other lake in Lake county, and thus considerable interest is attached to the event. It is thirty feet over all and powered with a six cylinder 150 horse power sterling engine. In a test run a speed of 35 miles an hour was made and the owner expects to get 40 miles an hour out of it as soon as the engine is projierly tuned up. It is ex­ pected that this speed boat will be fol­ lowed by several others this season, as the resorters who visit this lake al­ ways take a keen interest in boating and the fact that this boat will be able to pass any other power boat on the lake will naturally be the cause of con­ siderable rivalry. The interest in boating, especially motor boating, has never been more keen in the lake re­ gion than this year, and it is believed the launching of this speed boat will serve as a challenge for the entry of others of equal, if oot of surpassing, speed. Thevfirst drowning of the season at Fox Lake occurred late last Saturday afternoon when the ten year old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Hall of Fox Lake lost his life in the treacherous waters of Nippersink channel near the C. M. & St. P. railroad bridge. Just when the drowning took place no one is able to tell, as it wasn't until Sunday morn­ ing that the body of the boy was dis covered. When the boy, who had left home during the afternoon, did not return on Saturday nl£ht the family and friends began a search for .him but to no avail. On' Sunday morning his clothes were found on the east shore of the creek and soon aftoward his body was discovered floating dow the stream towai^ls Pistakee lake Tlfe body was found and brought to shore by Police Officer Bingham of Fox La^e. This is the same point where only about a year ago a fourteen year old girl lost her life. The place is a most d&pgerous one. The under current' is so strong that when once clamped by it a child is perfectly help­ less. Since the drowning of last year a danger sign has been placed at this point and how the boy came to wander into the dangerous place will never be known. The funeral took place^at Fox Lake on Tuesday afternoon of this week, interment being in the Fox'Lake cemetery. OPERETTA WAS COOD The operetta, "Red Riding Hoedjf> which was presented by local talent at the Central opera house on Friday and Satuaday evenings of last week, did not receive the patronage it deserved. The extreme hot weather was undoubtedly responsible for the small turn-outs on both nights. Those who took part in the o{>eretta:, especially the little tots, did exceedingly well when jone takes into consideration the short time they had to rehearse and get ready for the entertainment. Those who turned out were well pleased with the work of the little folks, as well as the older ones who took part. The net proceeds went to the Fox River Valley camp of R. N. A.
