The defendants were all found £Uilty of contributing to the death of Kneisle, the defendants being: .' Michael andTheo. Wagner and Anna Wagner of Volo, Mathias and Henry Heimer, Mathias /Bauer and Anton Engein of McHenry. R. J. Dady and C. C. Edwards represented the com­ plainants, while Attorneys C. P. Barnes and Joslyn of McHenry county and George Field of Lake county ap­ peared for all the defendants excepting the Wagners, who, $t.range to say, had no counsel in court. Mrs, Kneisle brought the suit on the grounds that On February 13, last year, her husband and Henry Taylor, a neighbor, went to McHenry to have some feed ground; that they bought liquor at saloons conducted by defend­ ants or in buildings owned by them; that as a result of his excessive"drink- ing on that day he died while driving home, being lifted dead from his wagon a? he reached his yard near the river on the Belvidere road, Warrentoh Grove. She brought suit for damages of $10,000 and the case started Monday morning. Defense tried to prove Kneisle was a giant in stature and that he was accustomed to drinking to ex­ cess, therefore there was no reason to suppose that he died as a result of the drinking of that particular daj in those particular saloons. The Warners were not represented" in the hearing, but the judgment stands against them just the same. That they were not represented is said to be due to the fact that they are re­ ported to have sold their^ saloon tuid building before the suit .was started, that they have no property which is amenable under the law and that they therefore are willing to permit judg­ ment to be entered against them if the court so holds. ' The case attracted much interest in Lake and McHenry counties, being a most unusual one in all its features. Here was a case where a man was re­ ported not drunk when he started home from McHenry, but the fact that he died while enroute after having been known to ̂ drink in the saloons in question, the owners of same are held liable for his demise. Unusual points are involved in it and while an appeal to the higher courts is to be made, it established to a degree a precedent for such cases and is another fatal blow to the saloon business, proving further that it is a hazardous line for any man to follow, because he never knows where the lightning is liable to strike. This was a cas» where the out-sider would not associate Kneisle's death with his having drunk in saloons an h({ur or two or even three hours be­ fore, yet a jury In court held that those drinks caused his death. Claiming thai, ue was the strongest man in Lake county and that therefore ordinary ailments would not have caused his death while riding from Mc­ Henry to his home in Lake county February 13, 1913, complainants' coun­ sel in the case of Mrs. George Kneisle against the Volo and McHenry saloon­ keepers endeavored to prove his mus­ cular strength by witnesses who had known him in life for years. For instance, here is whpt some .of the witnesses testified to: West G ray--That he had seen Kneisle lift the rear end of a threshing ma­ chine, a feat which few men could per­ form. Reuben Thomas--Alwayssaw Kneisle take the heaviest part of any work in which he was assisting; that two days before his death he had seen Kneisle pull up via the pulley route some 45 wagon loads of ice which - had been taken to an ice house. John Campbells--Was the strongest man I ever saw. Another witness said he had seen him pick up a 600 pound hog as if it were a child. The complainants have pictures of Kneisle in wrestling costume, which recalls the fact that several years ago he used to take part in wrestling bouts in the county. He expected to win by sheer strength of muscle, but did not make much progress because his gen­ eral knowledge of the game was nqt wide and his strength of muscle did not avail much. As a wrestler he was considered quite a joke, one time especially being recalled by Assistant Chief Tyrrell and others when he met his Waterloo from the hands of "Gurnee Jack," who was brought in from Gurnee to wrestle. The complainants sought to prove that a man of such strength and such apparently sound organs could not bav .met rhe .sudden death on his •Villon without the intoxicants having brought about the condition which caused it. Doctors on the stand dif­ fered as to whether any other cause might have brought on his death. The defense insisted that just because he had taken drinks while enroute to and from McHenry it was no sign that some other organic trouble might not have caused his death; therefore they held it could not be laid to the drinks entirely. The evidence as put id by Henry Taylor, who made the trip to McHenry with Kneisle, was in substance this as regards the number of drinks he re­ calls seeing Kneisle take: X--Enroute to McHenry, he saw Kneisle take five ten-cent drin&s at 10 o^oek at Wagner's place. • ' • " v ' ' ' ; . 2--Reached grist mill at noon, fed tetuns and walked to Eteimer's saloon, where Kneisle drank a highba.il, a glass of beer and ate a lunch. 3--Returned for flour at mill, drove team toward east end of village and stopped at Engeln's place, where he drank another highball and a glass of beer. He testified that Kneisle also drank again when they reached Volo, but that fact didn't enter the case in hear­ ing because there is nobody represent­ ing Wagner in court. Thus, in all, Taylor testified that Kneisle during'the day drank five, ten cent whiskeys, two- glasses of beer and two highballs as well as a return drink at Volo. Hut the drinks which he had in McHenry's saloons only included two highballs and two glasses of beer. He admitted Kneisle was away from him but 45 minutes while in the vil­ lage and inferred he might have drunk more during that time. The case is attracting much interest as it esnbodie^unusual features, one of which is that the widow is left with eleven children, the youngest of whom is three years old.""" The complainants1 counsel is making the strong point that Kneisle was such a strapping feilow that it must have been drink that undermined his health and caused his death on that fatal'ride across the country. Ttie , defense argues that he had been recognized as one of the heaviest drinkers in- the county and that the drinks he had on that particular day, Feb. 13, 1913, were as nothing for him to gulp down. In fact, were only practical "washers" for the' others that he would have taken had they been obtainable. Fred Matthews, employe of the mill at McHenry, testified for the defense that when Kneisle arrived at the mill last February he was perfectly sober and that he saw nothing to indicate he had been driving. Complainants endeavored to impeach his testimony on the grounds that he recalled too many details aboqt. the victim, even tho the affair occurred almost a year ago. Thomas Thompson, road commis­ sioner of Nunda township, told of see­ ing* Kneisle at the mill at the same time he was there with a load of feed. He said he appeared sober. He re­ called him because of the . man's tin- i - usual stature. Mr. Dady and C. Py Barnes were en­ gaged in several rather personal tilts during the day, which caused Judge Whitney to take a hand in their argu­ ments, the judge finally telling Mr. Barnes in response to his plea that He be permitted to finish his questioning of a witness that "I'll take care of Mr. Dady." And then the case continued quietly for a time. However, the attorneys were at swords' points for the entire hearing and their tilts created considerable merriment in the court room.

AS CHRONICLED BY TWO OP 'SCHOOL STUDENTS Below we -give two accounts of the farmers' meeting, which took plaee at Stoffel's hall here last Wednesday. Twp prizes were hung up for the first and second best reports on these meetings and the judges decided that the two young ladies, whose reports appear below, are entitled to first and second prizes, respectively. Miss Bonslett is entitled to the cash prize of $2.00 hung up by the farmers' association, while Miss Wolff gets the .00 prize given oy The Plaindealer, Th? reports follow: s [By Miss Mary Bonslett] , 1 The farmers' institute held, in this village Wednesday, Jan. 7, proved to be a great success and those present repeived much valuable advice. The program opened with a song by the M. H. S. Glee club. Mr. M. J. Wright th^n gave a short address, in which he encouraged boys and girls to take up agriculture; the boys that they may become skillful and scientific farmers, and the girls that they may teach it in rural schools and for various other reasons., Mr. Delos L. James spoke oh "Agri­ culture as a Career." He believesjohat there is more "money in farming than in most' any other profession and that farmers are the most independent men living. Many farmers do not know how much they are making or losing. They are not business-like and will never be successful, for farming suc­ cessfully is just as much a matter of business as any other profession. Many people believe that it is a waste of time and opportunities to go to school after reaching a certain age, but they are mistaken, for opportunities will wait for the educated man and woman. It is not, as a rule, the educated people who are out of employment, but the uneducated, iMl choice olass. There is a place in the world for each and every one of us to fill and the more ed­ ucation we have the more able will we be to fill that place competently. Every year McHenry county grants a scholarship for a course of agriculture at the University of Illinois, so it would be well for zealous boys and girls to compete for it. Some of the most im­ portant branches taught therQ. are chemistry, composition and analyzation of soil, balance of crops, machinery and blacksmithing. Another interesting talk was that of Miss Hattie Dake on "The Importance of a Fruit and Vegetable Garden." She told how tc care for a garden prop­ erly, and also gave many useful hints about canning fruits and vegetables. She says that some very common rear sons why canned fruits and vegetables do not keep arc that they are not Strictly fresh when put into the cans and that the cans are not properly iterilized. The last number was a very instruc­ tive lecture by Mr. Reese, his topic being "Soil." He showed how im­ portant it is that no element of the soil be lacking or deficient in quantity by comparing them to a heavy iron chain, each element being a link of the chain. Then if the chain should break and there was ho other material handy to fix it but a piece of wire the chain would be unable to pull its load. It is the same way with the elements of the soil. If some of them are lacking in the proper proportions the rest cannot be expected to produce good crops. Carbon, oxygen and hydrogen form ninety-five per cent of the plant food of good soil; calcium, magnesium, iron and sulphur, ihree per cent, and nitro­ gen, phosphorous and potash, two per cent. The deficiency of any of these may easily be supplied by the different fertilizers. Now, let us hope that we may have many more such meetings for the up­ lift of the farm, and thank these men and women who are devoting their lives to this grand mission, not only to help farmers, but all humanity. The annual maiqttet&de 't$6 T&cal aerie of Eagles will take place at the Central opera house on the evening of ;• V-.V ' ;S» [By Miss Elsie Wolff] * January 7, 1914. This Wednesday has been very pleas­ ant for many of us. We, that is the high school, were given a special in­ vitation to be present at the farmers' institute meeting at Stoffel's hall, 10:30 o'clock. It is needless to say we were glad to accept'this invitation. The glee club opened the meeting by a musical selection called "What the Chimney Sang." ^t proved to be "most musical, most melancholy," end­ ing with (the phrase) God's own har­ mony. After this Mr. M. Wright gave us a welcome and also a few good facts, one especially impressed me. He said: "Opportunities are always at our door, make the best of them." His speech was very short, as he said he would give the time to Mr. James, the county man, as he called him. , 1 think Mr. James left many im­ pressions on the minds of his listeners. He said, "Education is a great thing; if you have the opportunity to get it, why, take it and make the best of your opportunity." One piece of advice he gave seemed to be directed Especially to me. "Th? shoe fit so I put it on," as the saying goes. That good advice which I will hereafter try to follow is this: "Take the course of studies as it is fixed for you " The studies may not he of aay special use to you now, or never will be, but they cultivate thought. Yes, $hey cultivate the thought® that are .essential for good results. There are many positions oj>eu (or us; be prepared to take one up and get results. You see and hear of the vsst number of people out of work now. Most of these people have neglected their education. The learned men are very seldom out of a positio#. Better preparations afford better 00- w :• .-J...., . ^ pon't worry about the future, but do well the work you have to do. For your career take up the work that most appeals to you. We need more farmers,.*6 why not take up agricul­ ture as a career? It is one of the most1 independent and interesting positions there is. Study jshemistry if you have the chance to and find out the elements of the soil and from what meat is made. You will learn many things which will make farming easy and profitable. Now, remember, folks, make the best of your opportunities and prepare your­ selves well forkyour work. _ A few minutes were given to Miss Dake to talk on the "Importance of the Fruit and VegejLable Garden.*' She repeated the idea that a garden full of good, fresh fruit and vegetables is a pleasure to have and not a drudgery. It is also important as a means of food supply. Sh\ described her garden and it so impressed me that I have decided to stick my pride in my pocket and work my own .garden this spring. By taking care of it I may learn to like vegetables more than I do and that only would be worth a lot to me and the cook, too. I'll plant it in long rows just as Miss Dake did and I'll try to keep it clean from weeds* That's a pretty hard resolution to keep, but T will try at least- Miss Dake gave us a method fot preserving vegetables for the wfnier. I don't cSre enough about vegetables to go thru this process, but. I may try it if I get enough vegetables out pf ray garden to do this. Mr. Reese also gave'us an instructive and interesting lecture. He said that at the University of Illinois 930 students studied agriculture; 600 of these 930 were children from cities of Illinois. It seems almost absurd, yet it is true. He stated tha,t good soil takes an im­ portant part in the raising of vege­ tables. He told us of the elements of the soil and hovy necessary they were to proper growth. I believe we would have heard some more facts that would have been well to remember, but as it was twelve • m • • : s o'clock the meeting had to break tljp. r ADDITIONAL PERSONALS Jacob Leickera was a -Chicago vis­ itor Tuesday. • S.

WIN 5BCCE55 III LIFE Fourteen Years of Freedom from Liquor This Man's Record after keeley Treatment. Thousands of letters from men once thought to be hopeless drunkards or drug victims show how success in life was won after having been cured by the treatment administered at the Keeley Institute at Dwight, Illinois. Most of these men were sent to the Insti­ tute by some wise friend or relative who knew that drunkenness and drug addictions were diseases which could be periE™t;ntly cured. These cured men frequently write expressing their gratitude and happiness in their new life, mainly with the thought of helping others who may read of their ex­ perience. This idea will be found empha­ sized in the following letter: Waterloo, Iowa, I?eb. 23. IMS. Dear Banner of (Jold: , Tomorrow it will be fourteen years since I graduated from tho Keeley Institute at Dwight,--fourteen years, the best ycaiu of my life, so far.

All this I owe--first, to ray father, who loaned ml tho money; second, to my brothers," Who secured the loan for me; and last, but not least by any means, to the Keeley Company, who took me up out of tho mud and placed me on a solid foun­ dation, where I could make a new start, which I did. And I take pride In say­ ing that I thiifk I have made good. But for whatever I am, or ever, hope to be, I must give credit to Doctor Keeley qnd his wonderful cure. I never miss an opportunity to aay a good word for the Keeley treatment, and have advised many to go to Dwight and will continue to do so as long as I live, for I candidly be­ lieve there Is no man «o low through drink that the Keeley people wilr pot cure him in four weeks sn that he will stay cured if he so desires. Tho third day I was in J>wigh4t, passing down the line In the treatment . hall the good Doctor Blaine took me by the hand and calling me by nanno asked me if I needed a drink. I told him I could not say that I needed one, but wanted to take it along for fear I might before the next treatment. He gave me a two-ounce bottle of good old Rye, with the advice not . to drink it unless I needed it. Welt, I did not need It, and I did not want It --and for all € know, 'that bottle of whiskey stands in that room yet. I shall not try to write a long letter this time, but I wish to say that there is no doubt about the Keeley Cur«k It is the only thing that I know of that will make a man out of a drunks ard. ' May God bless and prosper the work, and may many poor inebriates receive Its benefits as I have. With fourteen years to my credit, and one hundred years more--if I live that long, I fee! that there Is nothing too good to say pf the Keeley treatment. Thanking the Keeley people for what they have done for me, and wishing them continued prosperity. T remain Yours In the world, A. J.
