Among his. classmates and the school children in general he was looked upon as one of the brightest, and most , active boys in the whole school. - • ' In- the class room and out in jiubtic he always showed himself a perfect little gentleman, which not only made him a favorite with the younger folks, but the older people of the village as well. He will be greatly missed ih the home as well as the school. The funeral took place from the Methodist Episcopal church at 2:30 p'olock last Saturday afternoon. The last, sad rites were performed by Rev. F. A. Shipley of Evans ton, who is now pastor of the church. His body was followed to its resting place in Wood­ land cemetery by a large cl'pwd of school children 'and citizens of the vil­ lage, who went to pay their last tribute to one whvun they had learned to love in life. The pall bearers who carried the little body were Francis Bonslett, Raymond Colby, Earnie Karaholz and Germer Petesch. 'Twelve" little girls, members of his class at school, acted as flower bearers. ' ' The floral contrlbuftaris were many and most beautiful.

Each and every number present­ ed by these artists showed thorough work and natural talent and found ready appreciation from the audience. This, with the exception of the post­ poned Osceola Pooler number, con­ cludes the present course and efforts are already being made to a similar one next winter. Rev. H- A.

North Crystal Lake Herald! The C. & N. fW. Railway company reoently announced a raise in-the price of the twenty-five ride tickets between Crys­ tal Lake and Terra Oatta, increasing the price to a flat rate of 2 cents per mile. Tlie new rate schedule weiit in­ to effect Thursday, Jan. 1, and affects every employe of the American Terra Cotta & Ceramic company, whuse plant is located at the latter town. Hereto­ fore * the price for twenty-five ride tickets has been 91.50 from both Crys­ tal Lake and North Crystal Lake. Under the new tariff the employes of the terra cotta factory who reside in Crystal Lake will have to pay 92.50, and the residents of North Crystal Lake 12 for the same service. This means that it will cost the boys in the old town 20 cents a day, and those in the new town 10 cents a day, or 8 and 4 cents a day, respectively, more than heretofore. Such an inorease will .naturally cut a considerably larger hole in the pay checks of the employes of this great factory and naturally the boys are up in arras. Judge A. H. Frost decision in the injunction case involv­ ing the Alfred M. Barber estate, re­ fusing to dissolve the temporary in­ junction secured by the state from Judge Donnelly restraining Charles W. Kellogg, as an individual or as ex­ ecutor of the will of Alfred M. Barber, from carrying out the provisions of the Barl>er will, from paying out any moneys of the estate and from giving title to any of the realty of the estate. The suit in question was brought by the state of Illinois thru the state's attorney of McHenry county against the executor of the Barber will to collect taxes alleged to be du% the state on property which had not been previously assessed, its existence not developing until after the death of Mr. Barber. At the time of the filing of the suit the court granted a tgpipo- rary injunction, restraining the execu­ tor from proceeding with the adminis­ tration of the estate and a motion was entered by the attorney for the estate to dissol ve same. The arguments in the motion to dfosojve were heard by Judge Frost, Attorney E. D.

RAYMOND WHITING UNITED A wedding that oame ,m » surprise toeven the members of the family was solemnixed at St. Mary's Catholic ohurch here at 4:90 o'clock last Satur^ day afternoon, when Miss Vera R. Bar­ bian of this village became the wife of Raymond Whiting of Lake Geneva, Wis, The ceremony at the ohurch was of a most simple nature and was witnessed by only a few members of the two fam­ ilies. The oouple were attended by Miss Theresa Barbian, sister of the bride, and Earl Whiting, brother of the groom. The oouple left by automobile imme­ diately after the ceremony and after a short wedding trip will be at home to their friends at Lake Geneva, Wis. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mi's. N. E. Barbian, esteemed residents of the village. She has al­ ways lived in MoHenry, where she has numberless friends, gained thru her pleasing disposition and high char­ acter. The bride-groom is the second young­ est son of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Whiting, two of tbe town's best known rural residents. He is a young man with an exceptionally bright future before him. He was born and raised in the vicinity of McHenry. A few years ago he en­ tered the employ of the Chicago Tele­ phone company at this place and dur­ ing the past two years he has been stationed at Lake Geneva, Wis.

MtB PROFITABLE RESTING AT IT- •m. -MBY HOUSE - ' »tv> wr-A i: l-M BUSINESS ANiTREPRESEN­ TATIVE KEN ARE PRESENT--IMPORTANT MATTERS DISCUSSED Another cracking good meeting was held by the members of the Business Men's club in the dining hall at the McHenry House on Tuesday evening of this week, when business and repre­ sentative men to the number of about forty gathered to partake of a spread as well as talk over matters pertaining to village betterment. The spread was served on the course ordor and, to say the very least, was prepared and served to a queen's taste. The popular landlord of this hostelry as well as his accommodating; wife are to be congratulated upon the manner in which they took care of their guests on this occasion. The first matter to be taken up after dinner was the advertising proposition, which was discussed at a previous meeting. N. H. Petesch, acting as spokesman for the committee on ad; verti sing, reported that he and the members of the committee had prac­ tically decided on a small eight-page folder as the magnet that is to be used in drawing out-of-town folks to our pretty river and the surrounding coun­ try. After a fair, and lengthy discus- siou on the matter it was suggested that the committee solicit the various business men of the village to ascer­ tain the numbed of folders that each individual could use. The committee prqmised to look after this matter and will be in a position to report at the next meeting the exact number of folders wanted, after which an order will undoubtedly be given the printer. Another matter that took up the greater part of an hour for thoro dis­ cussion was the gymnasium question. The matter was brought to the atten­ tion of those gathered by Chairman Hunter, after which various ones were called upon to give their ideas or make suggestions as to how the body should go about to bring out the desired re­ sult. Chairman Hunter told his listeners that he had talked with some of the older boys of the village and from his conversation with them he was of the opinion that they would like to see a gymnasium bulk separate from the school building. This brought on the question of lo­ cation. The McHenry park was one of the desirable places named as a good location for such a building 'and this naturally brought on the question as to who held title to this piece of prop­ erty since it was formerly used as a courthouse site. Judge Smiley of Woodstock, who was an honored guest at the meeting, promised to look up the records and give the committee any and all information desired on this point. * Prof." A: E. Nye, superintendent of the McHenry public school, expressed his views by saying that the gymnasium rightfully belongs and should be con­ nected with the school. In this man­ ner it would serve the greatest num­ ber of the lounger folks and would at the same time be correctly located. He spoke of making the plaop a civic center and, in view of the fact that it is only a matter of a year or more be­ fore more room will be needed for school purposes, he thought it a good and wise plan to have a wing construct­ ed on the west side of the school build­ ing, said wing to be about 40x60 feet and two stories in height. Tnis would give the school the two desired class rooms, while the lower floor would be used as a gymnasium. He also intimated that the building of such an addition would mean the establishment of phys­ ical culture classes in our public school as well as insure its being properly cared for and kept in good condition. The professor's remarks appeared to win favor among many of those gath­ ered and The Plaindealer believes that his suggestion is a very good one and should receive the encouragement of our people in general. Mr. Nye, at the close of his remarks, was named as of the gymnasium commit­ tee and will act on the matter with the members named at the previous meeting of the club. Judge D. T. Smiley of Woodstock, who was present at the meeting, fa­ vored us with a talk that should bear fruit. He began his speech by giving the real definition of jolly, good fellow­ ship and good fellowship. He pictured a jolly good fellow as one who is a good fellow while his money lasts, while a good fellow, he declared, was one who showed himself a good fellow in thought, and deed, kis whole talk was brin> full of excellent suggestions, which, intermingled with some good stories, kept the gathering in an atten­ tive mood thruout. We should like very much to enumerate the many good pointers that the popular judge had to offer, but .owing to lack of space and scarcity of time we are prevented from 90 doing, but will venture to say that if one-half of his suggestions are fol­ lowed. out hi our businoss men we can see where the] village and community will reap a rich harvest from his visit Before the meeting came to a close our genial chairman was called upon •to give a short talk on his recent trip across the briny waters. Mr. Hunter responded in his usual courteous and pleasing manner by going over his en­ tire trip. He told of his train ride from Chicago to Canada, his water trip down the St. Lawrence river and his ocean voyage, his visits to many of the larger cities in England ana Ire­ land. He told of being very much sur­ prised at Ireland and her thrifty peo­ ple. 4n place of finding a poor country as he had expected, he. found Ireland a prosperous and progressive cduntry. In fact, he pictured Emerald Isle as the garden spot, of the world. While therjB he visited a number of her busi­ ness places and on inquiry was invari­ ably informed that Ireland does not want home rule and that Great Brit­ ain is ready to' give her such whenever the demand is made. His talk was a most interesting one and wound up an evening that was an enjoyable and most profitable one in every sense of the word. The next dinner and meeting will take place on the evening of Feb. 10. ANNUAL MASQUE BALL TO W GIVEN BY MvHENRY AEtlE '•U i * eaglbb ' ' OF Thr*»feH«t*y Aerie - of- nounce their annual masquerade ball, which is to take place at the Central opera house on Thursday evening, January 29.

A nifty bunch of prizes will be hung up, which should be sufficient induce­ ment to bring out a big array of cos­ tumes.

If we are not incorrectly informed, the ball is going to bring dancers to the village from every surrounding town and it wouldn't surprise the man agement in the least if the hall proved far too small on this occasion. Breitenfeld's orchestra of Harvard will furnish the music.

Work­ men employed in keeping the chssssl open on the pond near Borden's iee house tell us that it is not uncommon to have from two to five strangers oall during a single night.

The ice at this time is about seven inohee jot thickness. ' , WANTED--Young ladies between the ages of 18 and 35 to learn nursing.

Stenger of the \STest McHearj State bank was among those who favored the new law and among other things stated that his bank would make application for membership fas the new reserve system at the proper time. Most of the McHenry eeuolfi bankers like the law. v> •Mm Lower express rates will ItUMN effective on Feb. 2 and we are of tbe opinion that there isn't a business man or individual who will weep when tike change is made.
