Games and the mdny other forms of amusement so dear to the little ones W^je^iijoyed and at an appropriate houi^kfeesh- ments of sanwiches, ice cream, b$k£ and coffee were partaken of.

Peter Weingart, William and ^nton Schneider, Misses Anna and Clara Rosing. AN EXCELLENT NUMBER The third number of the local enter­ tainment course was held at the Cen­ tral opera house on Monday evening, the attraction being the Fischer Shipp Concert company. The i^ouse was well filled on this occasion, which plainly evidences that the McHenry theater goers are gradually educating them­ selves to the better class of eh^ftttin- it^ent. fevers of vocal and instrument­ al niusic were given' a rare treat on j,his occ^fion and that each and eyery number was .well received one could easily judge from the prolonged ap­ plause. ' LIKE8, HEBRON VERY MUCH H. F.

Among other things th!\t he imparted to hip friend* heve were that he is enjoying a tine patronage and is evidently doing well there. Hebron is a saloonless town and Harry tells us that it's a pleasure to do business th6re as cash generally accompanies each purchase. Road The Plaisdealer ̂ EXPIRES SUDDENLY WHILE ST WORK •' W LAWN WAS ONE OF McKENRY COUNTY'S OLDEST RESIDENTS CAME WEST BY WAGON IN EARLY 40Y Our people were given another shock last Thurtttay afteraoon when the sad news of the sudden death of William McGee.was made known. The death of this highly resected old man occurred while he was i^n- gaged at w<urk on the lot just east of the Dr. N. J. Nye residence. It \Pas about four o'clock when he was seen to throw up his hands and toppie over on the lawn. Mfs. A. E. Nye, who happened to be passing along, saw him fall and shouted to Mrs. N. J. Nye to send the doctor. When the doctor arrived at the stricken man's side he w«s breathing his last and in less time than it takes to tell it William McGee was no more. His sudden demise is attributed to heart trouble. Dr. C. H. Pegers and his daughter, Eleanor, who makes her home with the doctor, were at once notified and the body was removed to the home of the former on Green street. The deceased was born at HiqgJ^le. Mass., on January 25, 1840. When but a small boy his j arents migrated west, settling in Hartland township, a few miles from Woodstock, the entire trip from his birthplace being made via wagon, itntl 'lis needless to say that t%e journey was anything but pleasant. lit-re the subject of this sketch «rew to manhood and after reaching his ma­ jority he, w'itb his brother, John, moved onto a farm about six miles north of the old homestead. He re­ mained on this place until the early 7U's, when lie went to Madison, Wis., to enter the employ of the Chicago &• Northwestern Railroad company. While at Madison he was united in marriage to Miss Bridget I'endeygast. After about a "year's, residence at the Wisconsin capital he, with his family, moved to liarvard* 111., where he em­ barked in business. He continued in business at that place up to the time of coming to Mc­ Henry twelve years ago. During his residence at this place ho has made his hollfc with Dr. C. II. Kegei-s. His wife passed away at Harvard in 1890. To the union were born nino children, five of whom are dead and four living. The living children are as follows: Mrs. A. B. Martin of Wau- conda, Eleanor and Mrs. Kd. Sutton of this village and Mrs. Kathryn Dowey of 'Harvard. He also leaves live brothers and two sisters: James of Chicago, John, Dennis, Sylvester, Thos., Mary and'Lena, all residents of Woodstock. j, During his residence in McHenry he has come to be known as one of our best and most lri^hly respected citi­ zens. He was a familiar figure upon our streets and we dare say that ther^ wasn't a man, woman or child in the entire village who did not clAim the friendship of old William McGee. |{e was a mqn pf a broad mind, pos­ sessed with a heart that was filled with kindness and charity, while his every­ day life' was that from which any of us could take an example with the greatest of pride. With a pleasant, '•good morning" for everyone ayd kind word ever upon his lips, his ac­ quaintance was highly cherished by those fortunate enough to have same. Mr. McGee was not a man to place judgment on his fellow being. He was ever ready to assist the unfortunate and console those in trouble, all of which went to make his friendship in-? valuable. He was born and raised a true Roman Catholici and always practiced this faith. He was a charter member of the Harvard Catholic Order of For­ esters and a noble worker for the cause of this society. The deceased, while always well posted on political and the everyday questions of life, never took an active part in politics, outside of the per­ formance of those duties which are given over to every legal voter. Be­ ing one of th'e old school, he was an in­ teresting man to meet and vist with. Al­ ways ready to tell of by-gone days and events, his stories of the ear^y day§ were always most ih^eres\injf as yvtill as instructive tq aqy one wishing to ien$ him an ear. . During his entire existence he was an active man. He was never more content than when engaged in some little work. This was t{*ue up to the vety last minute of his life, as he died while raking the lawn of. itf fallen leaves. - The f^nere*! tool^pl^oe from St. Mary's Catholic church in this village qt nine o'clock last Saturday morning, Rev. A. Royer officiating. His body was taken to Harvard, where the fu^ neral procession was met at the Catho­ lic church hy members of the Harvard I'atholic Order of Foresters. Inter­ ment was made in the family lot in the Catholic cemetery at Harvard. * CARD THANWH We wish in this manner to express our sincere thanks to the many kind neighbors and friends for their assist­ ance and sympathy during the sad hours of our recent bereavement.

B\SE BALL DANCE NEXT THURSDAY BIG CROWD IS LOOKED FOR AT THIS COM­ ING EVENT ' Next Thursday evening. Thanksgiv­ ing night, is the date of the baseball dance which is to be held at Stoflfel's hall. Those who have taken charge of this coming event inform us that the dance gives promise of terminating into one of the biggest successes of the kind ever attempted in McHenry. Those who are boosting the event are most enthusiastic In their work and judging from the large advance sale of tickets nearly everyone in Mc­ Henry as well as tKe surrounding coun­ try is displaying an interest in our baseball boys. The young ladies of the "JustUs" olub have kindly tendered their ser­ vices and will decorate the hall for the occasion^ The young ladies declare that the hall will present a prettier appearance than ever before a^d it is needless to say that all who turn out will find that they will be welcome the moment they reach the hall. Walsh's orchestra of Chicago, which has the reputation of being the best that has furnished music In McHenry in some years, has been engaged for the occasion and has promised to bring along the best of music. No tango music will be used. It will be a dance where young and old w ill mingle and enjoy themselves together. Arrangements have been made for the appearance of a prompter at the hall, which means that some of the good, old-fashioned dances, includ­ ing the square,iwill bo indulged in. Tickets are selling at $1.00 each. If you have not made arrangements to be present at this occasion you had better do so ut once, as all of your friends, both young and old, are going to turn qut.

Seventy years is a long time for one store to bear the same name, but such is the case of the Wells dry goods store at JDelavan,.

North Crystal Lake'Herald: "While work in some of the departments at the terra cotta plant is slack and it has been necessary to give some of the employes in^hese departments a tem­ porary layoff, the shipping department is extremely busy. Three or four cars of the product Of the factory are being shipped daily. On Tuesday two more cars, loaded with decorating material to be used on the'Michigan boulevard building, were shipped to Chicago. About thirty-five ears in all will be used on this one building alone,' seven of which have been shipped to date.

Together with three men from Antioch, there were eighteen to bb examined. The entire afternoon was consumed in the work. On previous occasions this has been regarded as a joke,, but that time is past as is evidenced by the fact that it took the physician the entire afternoon to do the work. This examination is don^ with an endeavor to find out if there are any of the employes that have consumption or any other danger-, ous disease, so that they may receive the proper attention. Several years ago one man was taken from the Wau­ kegan office who was afflicted with consumption. He was sent to various parts of the country in an endeavor to improve his health. „ This at the ex­ pense of the company. Attend the duck and chicken raQle at G. E.

Joseph Smith of Johnsburgh. The ceremony was performed by Rev Edw. Berthold. A prettier wedding march was never witnessed in this beautiful cathedral. The bride was most becomingly robed in a gown of white embroidered net trimmed with pearls over white satin. Her veil was held in place with pearl ornaments. Misses Barbara and Eleanore Smith, nieces of the groom, acted as brides­ maids. The former wore a dress of shadow lace over green crepe de chine, while the -latter was gowned in a robe of the same^ material, only that the color of her dress was pink. Both car­ ried white chrysanthemums. Miss Kathryn Pit/.en, the maid of honor, wore a gown of yellow chiffon over gold brocaded silk and also car­ ried white chrysanthemums. The groom was attended by William Hoff and jacob Zirnmermann, the latter a brother of the bride and a resident of Rockford. Little Veia and Freddie Pepping acted as tlower girl and ring bearer. Both were dressed in white, the for­ mer carrying a bouquet of bridal roses, while the latter carried the ring. After the sacred words had been spoken that made the two man and wife, high mass was celebrated. At the conclusion of the mass the newly weds, together with a large concourse, of relatives and friends, gathered at the home of the groom's brother, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen H. Smith, where a reception was tendered them. The couple received many gifts thruout the day. » The bride, who first came to Johns­ burgh about a year or so ago, is a young woman of many excellent traits. When first coming to Johnsburgh she was employed.in the parsonage, where she remained until some time ago.' Since coming to Johusburgh she has, thru her modest and lady-like manner and jolly disposition, made many friends among the people of that place, who hold her in the very highest esteem. The groom is the youngest son of Mrs. Barbara Smith, an old and highly respected citizen ojf Johnsburgh. He has always made Johnsburgh and the immediate vicinity h"is home, where he counts his friends by the score. He is an industrious and trustworthy young man of many excellent qualities. The couple have already gone to housekeeping in the Peter J. Freund house on East Waqkegan street, until recently occupied by Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Covalt. Mr. Smith has already ac­ cepted a position in McHenry, which he experts to take up at a nejr future date. , Congratulations are In order. THE BEST EVER St. Mary's Catholic church bazaar came to a close at BuCh's hall last Thursday evening and with it came the close of the biggest and best event of this nature ever held in McHenry. The total receipts of the fair, we are told, amounted tosomethinglike$l,t»80. While there «re still a number of un­ paid bills, those who are in a position to know tell us that the net receipts will.be between $1,200 and $1,.'K)0. This undoubtedly means that another $1,000 will be paid off on the church debt, which will leave only a $1,000 indebt­ edness on the edifice. Those who worked so hard to briiig the event to such a grand and pleasing success are surely entitled to a vote of thanks, while the general public, who by their attendance and support made the finan­ cial success a possibility, have the sin­ cere thanks of the pastor and parish­ ioners of St. Mary's church.
