Smith, last Thursday. Altho no one witnessed the accident which caused the young man's death, it seems to be the general impression that he lost his life thru the accidental dis­ charge of a shot gun while in the act of crawling thru a barbed wire fence^ The unfortunate victim of the acci­ dent had been husking corn during the past few weeks and was in the habit of carrying his gun with, him for the purpose of shooting rabbits and other game that happened to cross his path while on hi<* way to and from the corn field. ' 1 After finishing up the chores last Thursday morning, Mr. Smith started out to the corn field and, as usual, car­ ried his gun with him. This was the last time he was seen alive. No one heard the shot that brought death.to him. " jTh& members 6f the family thought little of his non-appearance at his home for dinner, as they had heard him men­ tion that he intended to take a day off and do a little huntii^g in the neigh­ borhood. His fattier, who is in the habit of going out to the corn-field during the afternoon to gather in com for the hogs, made the grewsome discovery. He was on his way down the barn yard roadway when he came across the body of his son lying in a pool of blood. The spot whei-e the body was foiind is locut- ed about, forty yards southeast of the house. When found his loaded gun, together with three loaded and one empty shell, lay a few feet from him. Tiie supposition is that he was on his way home to dinner when the fatal accident occurred. He-»was evidently crawling thru the strands of the barbed wire fence, pulling his gun after him, when the trigger caught *>n the wire and discharged the gun. The entire discharge was lodged in the side of his neck, completely cutting his throat. After making the discovery Mr. Smith notified the family and then drove to this village, where he im­ parted his add news to the proper authorities. The coroner's inquest was held at the Smith heme the following day, with Deputy Coroner C. H. Fegers in charge. The jury was composed of the following gentlemen: EJ. C. Mead, T, J. Walsh, William ^cGee, N- J- Jus- ten, John W. Kimball and William Herbes, The jury, after a thoro in­ vestigation, arrived at the verdict that the deceased had met his death thru the accidental discharge of a shot gun while passing thru a barbed wire fence. The finding of a loaded gun, together with three loaded and one empty shell, beside of his body sort of puzzled the jury for a time, but after due delibera­ tion all agreed that the unfortunate victim, after receiving the wound which deprived him of his voice, sought to sunimon help thru the discharge of the gun. The three loaded shells bore evidence that they had been tapped, but not discharged, which plainly showed that the, plunger of the fire­ arm was not working properly. He had evidently loaded the gun for a fourth time, when his strength left him and he was left alone to meet his fate _ • „ OUtuirr Joseph Smith was born on the old homestead on February 19, 1871. Here he grew to manhood and has always made his home. He has always as­ sisted his father with the farm work. He was a*Taithful, hardworking and good-hearted fellow, who hadn't an enemy in the world, and his sudden death is deeply regretted by all. J He leaves his aged parents, three brothers and three sisters to mourn. The brothers and sisters are as follows: Stephen R., John R., Chris.,' Anna, Katie and Mrs. Joe Ahrens, the latter residing at Mclntyre, la. The funeral took place , from^ St.. Mary's Catholic church here at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning last. Rev. A..Royer officiated and interment was made in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. CARD OP THANKS. , We wish to express our thanks td those who so kindly lent assistance and sympathized with us during our recent sad hours. JotaN A. SMITH AND FAMILT. WAS KAPPY EMW The social dance gijren under th? auspices of the "Just 1)4" club at Stof- fel's hall last Saturday evening proved a most happy event. To be exact, eighty-eight tickets were disposed of at the occasion and es^ch and every one present was most royally entertained by the young lady members of thfi club. Not only did the younger set turn out in goodly numbers, but the older ones also displayed a kindly in­ terest in the affair thru their attend­ ance. Walsh's orchestra of Chicago was present and it is needless for ps to say that the music was highly pleas­ ing. Taking everything int^ consid­ eration, the e'vent will go down as ope qf the most pleasurable occasions the |h&U hfts witnessed in some time. FREMONT HOY & SON ARE THE PURCHASERS CHANGEFA) BE MADE NEXT SAYOKDJtT-- BUILDING TO BE REMODELED IN THE EARLY SPRING It has been quite commonly known for a year or more past that the bank­ ing firm of Perry & Owen of this city was desirous of disposing of its busi­ ness. ' This firm is composed of James B. Perry and Oliver N. Owen, both of whom are so well and favorably known to the people of this community that we can say nothing regarding them that is not already known. Mr. Perry feels that his advanced age and long service should entitle him to freedom from the cai'es incident to fcn active business career. Mr. Owen, on account of poor health, feels un- willingtotry to. continue in the busi ness longer. ' . They have served the community faithfully and well as bankers fpr "lo, these many years," making for them­ selves and their bank an enviable rep­ utation in this community and among the banking fraternity of this entire section df the country. The firm has had many proposals come to them dur­ ing the months past to purchase their bank, but these men, who have for so long a period held the full «onlidence of an entire community, have been un­ willing to make any disposal of their business until \they could do s<^ to a pei-sou or persons in whom- they and the entire community could and would place complete and full confidence, and as well as to some one possessed of broad banking experience, high char­ acter, ample means, and such connec­ tions as would insure a permanent, satisfactory continuance of the busi­ ness founded by them. The right applicant did not appear and so they set about to see if they could find and interest such parties, and some months ago the matter was suggested to Mr, Fremont Hoy of Woodstock, 111.', by these gentlemen. Mr. Hoy has had the matter under con­ sideration, but only very recently could see his way clear to take up the propo* sition, which he has done with the re­ sult that Mr. Hoy and his son, Clar­ ence F. Hoy, have purchased the bank­ ing business, balding and equipment, assuming all obligations of the bank as shown upon the bank books, taking over all of the assets and seourities held by the bank. It is the purchasers' intention, stat­ ed to us in an interview, to convert this bank Into a national or state bank as soon as can reasonably be done, offering to the citizens of this commun­ ity the stock of such corporation and creating a board of directors selected with reference to jtheir especial fitness and high standing in the community, Until such time as this can rightly be done the bank will be continued under its former name, "Bank of McHenry," by the purchasers. That Messrs. Perry and Owen have chosen well will, we think, be admit­ ted by everyone who knows the Messrs. Hoy. Fremont Hoy has for years been one of the firm of M. D. Hoy &Sons, who own and operate the Farmers' Ex­ change bank of Woodstock, one of the oldest and strongest banks of the coun­ ty, who also established the "Bank of Huntley" about twelve years ago and continued to own and operate the same until they incorporated it as "State Bank of Huntley" last spring, with a capital of $50,000.00 and deposits car-1 ried of nearly $300,000.00. ' One year ago interests represented by Mr. Hoy acquired control of the State Bank of Crystal Lake, 111., of which .Mr. Hoy became president and his son, Clarence F. Hoy, vice presi­ dent. Under this management tile bank has about trebled its deposits and has taken rank as an Influential factor in that community t Mr. Hoy is also vice' president and secretary of the Peoples' Life Insur­ ance company of Chicago, capitalized at $100,000.00, and whi^h is steadily gaining in influence and business,* hav­ ing about 13,500,000.00 of outstanding insurance in force. 'this is not all, he was born on a farm in Alden township in this county, and is hence a McHenry cpunty man. Clarenci F. Hoy, who will become the active manager of the Bank of Mc­ Henry, is, as herein stated, a son of Fremont Hoy, born in and most of his life a resident of McHenry county, thirty-one years of age and has ac­ quired experience in banking thru em­ ployment in all of the o^her banks in which his father is interested, and in t,he insurance business, in which he was for a tprm of years engaged. He is also a njiember of the boar£ of di­ rectors of the People's I4fe Insurance company. He is a youqg man of very pleasang persooa}it>y. That this bank, under the new man­ agement, will thriv^ there can be no C^oubt. Already Mr. Hoy has exhibit­ ed to us a set of plans for rebuilding the bank's home, *hich will make it more attractive and commodious, as well as more convenient for its patrons and management. The work will be started as early in the spring as weath­ er will permit. A new lot of Bunte's candies just received *t McAllister's.

All moneys, notes and secur ities held by the bank are to be turned over to us and the notes will be found with the bank. We shall continue to operate the bank under the name, "Bank of Mc­ Henry," for the present.

We request all who hold pass books of this bank to bring them in to be bal­ anced and verified when we will be glad to issue you our new pass book for such amount as is shown your due. It is our intention to reorganize the bank as a Ktiate or National hank as early as it seems feasible to do so, when the oommunity will be invited to become stockholders and directors of the reorganized bank and partici­ pate more fully in its management. For the present Clarence F. Hoy, now vice ' president of the State Bank of Crystal Lake, will l»e in charge as manager. Messrs. Perry & Owen will have use of ottices in the rear of the bank for th^ir private business and serve the bank in consultation. Miss Mabel Granger has been retained in her previous capacity. We find and take over the bank in unusually strong condition for ready funds. To these are added our per­ sonal responsibility afad the co-opera­ tion of strong financial institutions with which we are connected. We can, therefore, assure the public of absolute safety and of the ability of this bank to meet all reasonable re­ quirements of the community for bank­ ing accommodations. We have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with large numbers in your community and desire to become acquainted with all. Your business in onr line is hereby ny>st respectfully solicited, and we promise you safety, courteous treatment at aN times and as much liberality as is consistent with sound, conservative hanking. We will pay liberal interest on time and sav­ ings deposits. Those now holding certificates of de­ posit against the bank can bring them for exchange for new ones if they choose or retain them until due if they prefer, when they will be recognized and settled by us.

The newly appointed postmaster at Harvard will take up his new duties next Saturday. ' Genoa, 111., is to have a new sewer system. The contract price for this big improvement is $17,890.68. The reeent fair held at the coliseum at Elgin for the benefit of St. Mary's Catholic church of that city netted $6,000. Richmond will have a sewe&ge Sys­ tem. A sufficient amount of money has been raised to warrant the build­ ing of such a system. The Ghicago & Northwestern Rail­ road company has promised to install gates at the Madison street crossing at Lake Geneva, Wis. N. B. Duers, who for many years drove the mail stage between Waucon- da and Harrington, passed away at his late home in the former village on Oct. 16. Thirty-two members of the Woman's club of Woodstock passed a day last week visiting the wholesale grocery house of Sprague, Warner & Co. in Chicago. Robert H. Gillmore, son of our for­ mer county judge, has passed the Illi­ nois state bar and is now located with the law firm of Barnes & Barnes at Woodstock. Harvard is experiencing a scarcity of houses. ^Factory heads in that city de­ clare that they are experiencing diffi­ culty in keeping help for the reason of house scarcity. At a special election at Elgin last week Wednesday the voters of that city placed their stamp of approval on a $162,000 bond issue, which will give them a municipal lighting plant. William R. Hearst, the newspaper man, has purchased a farm near Powers lake and expects to spend many thousands of dollars in making it one of the beauty spots of this section.

The milk plant at Wilmot, Wis , which has been oonducted by the Wei- land Dairy company of Spring Grove during the past year, has again been taken over by the farmers and in the future will be run as a creamery. An experienced butter maker has been engaged by the farmers and he has already succeeded A. D. Loomis. The Public Service company's new sub-station at Grayslake is fast reach­ ing completion and is already being fitted up. Material is being hau}ed there right along. Among the ma­ terial already at the station are two transformers weighing five tons each and one of the same nature weighing seven tons. These transformers are to take oare of the heavy voltage, reduce same and generate it for use on the smaller wires. The plant will be placed into_ operation within a few weeks. The people of Wauoonda will soon have a new depot. A meeting was held in that village on Monday evening of last week for the purpose of discuss­ ing ways and means to erect a station house, a Y and engine house. Suffi­ cient money was raised to make the improvements mentioned. A tent has been used for depot purposes since the oompletion of the new railroad into Wauconda, but with the arrival of cold weather the agent at that place has found the depot a mighty chilly propo­ sition. He will^soon have a nice, warm place in yrhWh he can properly discharge the dirties entrusted to him". "Stop! Look! Listen!"

VETERAN DRUGGIST DEAD FftANK MASQUELET DIES AT HIS HOME HERE AFTER LONG ILLNESS "The Man Higher Up" at opera house Sunday evening* " KAWs' -H: Central Frank Masquelet, McHenry's vet­ eran druggist and highly respected citizen, passed away at his late home on Elm street at two o'clock last Thursday afternoon, October 23, fol lowing an illness of about fifteen months. While the deceased had not been in good health during all these months, he was able to be up and around most of the time.» He suffered several very bad spells during that time, but was able to withstand all of them, altho with each attack his system became more weakened until two days before his death he was again stricken, this time with fatal results. His illness was caused from heart and lung trouble. He had resorted to the best of medical, skill during the time of his illness, but all to no avail. Frank Masquelet was bom atTeutop- <#is, 111., fifty-eight years ago. His father died when he was but three years of age, leaving him with his two brothers to be brought up by the St. Franciscian fathers of St. Joseph's col­ lege in the city. After being thus ed­ ucated and after leaving school he moyed to Dequoin, 111., where he en­ tered into the drug business. He was then a young man of twenty-one sum- taers. On February 19, 1878, he was united in marriage to Miss Sadie Bryant at Duquoin, 111. The following year he and his wife moved to^Chicago, where he opened a drug store on the oorner of {15th and Halsted streets. He con­ ducted this store for a period of twen- ty-eight consecutive years, a record that is seldom equalled. Seven years ago he disposed of his drug business in Chicago and cafne to this viljage, where he purchased the drug business and store he has since conducted and owned. He purchased the place from Miss Julia A. Story. He continued in this business up to the time of his first illness, since which time his estimable wife has had full charge of the place. While Mr. Masquelet has lived here but seven years, he was well and favor­ ably known to many of our readers for many years previously, as he and his family had passed the summer months at their cottage at Schaefer'slgrove on Fox river, near this village, for a quarter of a century batik.. He was the father of five children, three of whom are livin&r, while two •died in their tender years. The living children are Gertrude and Frank of this place and Joseph of Chicago. Be­ sides the children he leaves a heart broken widow, one brother, Joseph, of Chicago and hundreds of friends both here and in Chicago. While the writer has been acquaint­ ed with the deceased only during the time that he has made this village his permanent home, we know him to have been a good citizen, an upright and honest business man, a kind neighbor and trustworthy friend. In his busi­ ness dealings he was always fair and square and was ever ready to go to much trouble and extra work in ac­ commodating the patrons of his store. His efforts to please the public have been repaid in that the M&squelet drug store has grown into one of the most substantial business houses in the vil­ lage. In private life he was a kind and loving husband and father and al­ ways took great pride and interest in his family. He was held in the very highest esteem by all who knew him and his departure is regretted by our citizens in general, who extend to the family their heartfelt sympathy during the sad hours of their bereavement. The funeral took place from St. Pat­ rick's Catholic church here at 11 o'clock on Saturday morning last, Rev. D. Lehane, pastor of the church, per­ forming the last sad rites. Interment was made in St. Patrick's cemetery. The deceased being a member of the Catholic Knights of America, the pall bearers were selected from the Chioago lodge of this society of which he was a member. Those who acted in this capacity were: Messrs. John Holtz, Chas. Koenig, Anton Frey, James King, John Gross, Peter Field, John Swartz and Joseph Reinhard. The de­ ceased was also a member of the Cath­ olic Order of Foresters of this village. The large turn-out at the funeral, espe­ cially Chicagoansv fully evidenced his wide ^acquaintance and high esteeem in which he was held by all. CARD OF THANKS ~ We wish in this manner to publicly express our sincere thanks to the many kind friends and neighbors who assist­ ed uls and extended their sympathy during our recent sad bereavement. We wish especially to thank the mem­ bers of the Catholic Order of Foresters of McHenry for the many favors ex­ tended and kindness shown. MRS. SADIE MASQUELET. GERTRUDE MASQUELET. JOSEPH MASQUELET.
