No back dues/ ,: " O. O. O. 38-* Mr W; [Witukegan G&zetto] Affairs in the village of Fox Lake are in a turmoil and charges betweeft eitiiens and aldermen are flying thick and fast as a result of the effort of certain members of the city council (here to pay out of the funds of the village certain expenses incurred in the entertainment of the Retail Liquor Dealers' convention which was held at Fox Lake last fall. And as the result of a rote taken at a stormy session of the council on Thursday night by which the sum of 9300 VTS3 voted outof the city treasury a committee of tax­ payers and citizens has been organized and is to, conduct a rigid investigation of village financial affairs in general. When the matter of having the li­ quor dealers' convention meet in Fox Lake came before the village council there last summer, the citizens who are fighting the present payment of city cash claim that it was agreed that the sum of $600 should be given from the city funds for the convention, pro­ viding this amount was used in adver­ tising which would aid the village. They now claim that the $600 was used for the printing of cards and circulars which were the beneSt of only a por­ tion of their members, namely, those saloonkeepers who were members of the liquor dealers' association. At the meeting of the council Thursday night it was voted to give the sum of 1300 in­ stead of the $600, but v three of the aldermen fought this bitterly, claiming that not a cent should be paid for the reason that the agreement made had not been lived up to. Alderman H. Maypole denounced the payment of a cent and called the measure vicious. He charged that it was framed to favor a certain body of liquor dealers. Trustee Bailey also spoke strongly against the resolution, saying that the village should not pay a cent because the agreement made had not been lived up to. 1 When the matter was finally called for a vote the tale showed three for the measure and three against, Alder­ men Scott, Fichter and Schultz voting for it. The president of the village board, President Ostrander, cast the deciding vote by which the sum of $300 is to be paid out of the city funds. The people of the village are up in arms and propose a general investigation. In the row which is disrupting the village of Fox Lake over the payment Of the village appropriation for adver­ tising the retail liquor dealers' conven­ tion last September, Village Clerk William Nagle has taken a stand with the minority on the village board by refusing to honor the voucher for the payment of $300 of the amount passed by a majority of one at the warm coun­ cil meeting held last Thursday. He has asked the advice of his attorney and says that unless he is odvised that he must pay the amount he will con­ tinue his refusal to make the payment. Trustee H. A. Maypole opposed the resolution, which was voted for by President Ostrander and' Trustees Scott, Fitcher and Schultz. Fitcher Ccps a saloon in Fox Lake, Scott rents a* building to a saloonkeeper and Ostrand«fc : is the proprietor of two hotels,-each of which has a bar.

Sun- ~ school at 10 a. m., sermon by Miss IpV"> fffe';V Margaret Hess at 11 o'clock. A cor- p;, "ci'kdial invitation is given everyone to Ml t '/ RSftmi both of these sendees. The annual meeting of the McHenry county teachers' instittute will be held in Woodstock, March 23-27. In addi­ tion to the senior students from the various high schools, who are candi­ dates for certificates, there will be en­ rolled 275 teachers from the 120 rural schools and the 17 city and village sys­ tems. These districts enroll 5,500 pupils annually and their yearly cost of maintenance approximates $200,000. From the above data may be seen the importance and value of the insti­ tute from an educational and economic standpoint. During the week of the institute all schools will be closed and the entire attention of the teachers will be directed upon the better meth ods of instruction and discipline. No greater force can be found than that of the annual institute to advance the cause of teaching and but few realize that the cost of the institute is borne by the teachers themselves. Coming as it does during the school year, the teachers are at once interested in act­ ual school room problems. The new school laws of Illinois re© ognize their value and have provided that all schools shall be closed during the week and that attendance at insti tute is time lawfully spent in the ser vice of the district and no deduction of wages shall be made. On the other hand, teachers failing to attend may not receive such pay and for this rea­ son reports of attendance must be'made to the secretary of the board imme­ diately at close of institute. The new certification law, which goes into effect this July, makes attendance at insti­ tute one of the conditions of the hold­ ing and renewal of certificates. An excellent program has been ar­ ranged. Competent instructors from teachers' colleges and from the actual scnooi room work wiii guide the teacn- ers to the best of their ability. In ad­ dition to the work of the regular school room Btudies, Miss Olive Percival of the University of Illinois will give demonstrations in domestic science. Delos L. James, consulting agricultur­ ist for McHenry county, will speak on the importance of the teaching uf agri­ culture in the schools. S. Lincoln Smith of LaGrange will teach penman­ ship to give further emphasis on the practical side of education. Mr. Worst of Chicago, Dr. Bagley and Dr. Paul of the University of Illinois -- will be among tine instructors. V?

Delbert Bacon and wife of West Chi­ cago were at Charles Bacon's Monday. Mrs. H. P. Buck land, who has been sick the past week, is slowly improv­ ing. Miss Mary Bell spent the last of the week with her aunt, Carrie BeTl, at' Richmond. Most of the Masons of this place at­ tended the funeral of Mr. Howe at Mc­ Henry Monday afternoon. Lewis Hawley, who was home from his school in Elgin last week on ac­ count of grip, returned Monday. S. W. Smith and wife and Florence Smith\ttended the funeral of Lucias Beckley at Crystal .Lake Tuesday. The W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. Florence Bell Saturday of this week. Topic, Scientific Temperance Instruc­ tion. Leader, Libbie Allen. ' Mps. Jay Hawver and Mrs. Porchie of Lake Geneva called at H. W. Al­ len's Tuesday night between the two evening trains on their return from the R. N.'-A. meeting at McHenry. At the W. C. T. U. meeting at Mrs. Ladd's last Thursday there was a good attendance. Mrs. McFarland gave a fine tallf. At the evening -meeting at Mrs. Hodge's there were some out that were not out in the afternoon. She also spoke in the M. E. church Sunday evening. At the two meetings she received over 88.00, collection for the county work. They say it would ruin our village, That saloons help our taxes to save. Do they think~of the loved ones who, owing to liquor, Are sleeping tonight in their gravesf Six thousand dollars license a year, We admit, that is quite a sura, But do you think it is a fair price For the young men It puts on the bum? If you think that Is all they are worth, Just to help our old town pay her debts, . - , - . Then all you will have to do April 7, Is to cast your votes with the we'ts. O, let us remove the temptation, And all work together and try To save our young men in the future, By voting and keeping our old town dry. Word has CQme to us that some of our ladies would vote wet on account of taxes, thinkld^ they would be high­ er if the town went dry. Nothing is farther from the truth'. Take our city of Roekford with just one bank in a part of the city where most of the res­ idents were men working in the furni­ ture shops, at the end of the first dry year it had $125,000 more than in the wet years, and that was only one of the many banks. Take the village of Barrington, their bank more than doubled its deposits after becoming dry. Oklahoma now saves $3,696,000 each year. Waterloo, la., which went dry in November, 1912, their savings bank deposits have increased from 10 to 20 per cent and the cost of operating the city has decreased $12,737 and from correct report the city has seen the greatest improvement ii) every way during 1913 of awy year of its history. Now I hope all will look into these things and be ready to help in the w- vem^nt of MeHenry township, as uld be made as beautiful as any pretty riveraod lakes. Ii. 01X L y&VS mr. ;vliIffiSjj LjL SMARTER OF A CENTURY ITEMS CUPPED FROM PLAINOEALER OP TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Homer Clemens, who lives south of this village, is very low with measles. Thos. Phalin and Carl Pomrening are both reported as down with lung feve^. John StofTel, father of Simon and Wm. Stoffei, is reported quite sick at this writing and but little hopes are entertained for his recovery. The McHenry Dramatic ^company have decided to give their play, "The Heroic Dutchman of '76," on Thursday "fend Friday evenings, April 4 and.5. Simon Stoffei started on Saturday for Omaha, Neb., where iie_has gone to settle up some business for hiB father. He expects to be gone until the last of this week. Mrs. Frank Sayles died, at the .resi­ dence of her brother-ih-iaw; James Do well, in the town of Wauconda, on Saturday last. She has been sick for some time fend her death was not unex­ pected. , ' -Wm. Powers, who owns a fine farm south of this village, has also purchased the Capt. Beckley farjn of 160 acres, for which he paid $50 per acre. Mr. Pow­ ers is one of the most prosperous farm­ ers in the town of Nunda. Mat Beimer has returned His books and out of the full amount of taxes he was obliged to return less than $300. This we consider a fine showing when we take into, consideration the 'strin­ gency of the money market. The oldest child of Jacob Justen, a boy about five years old, died on Mon­ day morning. He has been a great sufferer for the past year and*'his parents have done everything that could be done, but to no avail. They have the sympathy of all in their afflic­ tion. A Wauconda correspondent says: "On Monday morning Mr.' Owen Mo- Mahon died at his residence two miles north of this village. Mr. McMahon was In the village on Wednesday, ap­ parently as well as usual, but on going home was taken with a chill and never rose from his bed again. He leaves a wife, three Sons and four daughters to mourn (he loss of husband and father." One of the best concerts we ever had the pleasure of listening to in this town was given at the city hall on Friday evening last. It was the closing en­ tertainment of the McHenry Lecture association and was gotten up entirely by homC talent. It consisted of instru­ mental music, choruses, quartettes, duets, readings, etc., and the large audience in attendance were unani­ mous in their praise. Where all done so well it is hard to particularize, but we cannot refrain from mentioning a few. The reading by Mrs. O. N. Owen was simply splendid. We have heard many who have called themselves pro­ fessionals who could not equal her in one single particular. W. A. C'risty, in the German piece, showed that he was somewhat of a Dutchman, don't it, while the duet by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Walsh took the large audience by storm and they would not be satisfied until it was repeated. In short, the program thruout was rendered in a manner that done credit to all. When McHenry wants to get up a good con­ cert she need not go away from home. for material. PROS A TE NEWS { LFututahed by McHenry County Abstract Company, Wooastpek. Illinois.

Sinlthl Come, NSficy, get on your bunnit And put on your tot'her gown, An4. we'll go ever tq the voting place, , To vote with the rest Qf the-town. We're old apd feeble, Nancy, But thea we hajn't got to walk, Fbr they're coming with automobiles To take us there and buck. I never expected, Nane.v, That you'd ever go if you could; They tho't 'twas no place for wwnrain, I don't' see why they should. But times hain't what they were, Kancy, And the old town'schangedsince then, For where there used to be one saloon, We find that how there are ten. It sets me to thinking, Nancy, That something ought to be-ifone, To save:our homes and boys herfe From the dreadful curse of rum. Our home has always been happy; Our boys grew to be noble men; But temptations are-more to battle with now ~ - v We know than they ever were then. I never was much on voting, And Nancy had no chance before, ButJ we're going today and vote, yes, vote, Like we never did before. I can't help thinking, Hiram, 'Bout that boy just over the way. Can't help but think of that mother And how she used to pra^. I'm sure she went to vote, father, v For often I've heard her say, How that saloon on the "corner Was leading her boy far astray. There was another^anxious mother I noticed there today, And I know just how 6he voted, Altho she'd nothing to say. She hurried home to the children, They met her at the door; But the man who swore to protect her Lay drunk upon the floor. I guess Jim Jones didn't go to vote, For I overheard someone say- That if she went over to the?, polls to vote Thatthe would stay away. My opinion is (if the truth were known), That he was living in mortal fear, That the old home town was going dry And he'd miss his whiskey and beer. Please hand me my glasses, Hiram, And draw the curtain back. I believe that's Father McFltnn and Pastor Brown A walkin' in the same track. Who'd ever tho't they'd gone together Over to the voting place? I know 'twill set people to talkin'; Some wijl say, " 'Tis a perfect dM* gvfcce." V - . I can't see as it's «ery wrong, Kancy, "" For they're both workin* foir tBe same end; ^ To drive the saloon from our country 6 And he!{$)save our boys and our men.

These friends, delighted with the resto» ration to health, honor and prosperity of the men thus cured, frequently write to the Institute expressing their satisfaction in the results obtained. Letters from the cured men show their restoration to be per­ manent and their willingness to have their experience known in the hope of helpiflK others. Here is one such letter: Princeton, Ind.,' January SO, , " The Leslie E. Keeley Co., Dwight, IlL Dear Sirs: - I thought I -Would write you and let you know that 1 am atiii alive and enjoying the best of health. I took your treatment for the liquor habit twenty-one years ago this month, anal must say that during all that time I have never touched one drop of liquor of any kind whatever, and have nev«r had any desire for it, and know now. that I never will again; for when a, man gets to my age, sixty-three, doesn't often begin to drink again. I think so much of the Keeley Treat* . ment that I have brought seven differ­ ent men here since I took it, and paid - the expenses out of my own pocket for some of them. I have always got ray money back, but even if I didn't I think I would be well paid to see the pleasure and happiness that have corae to those rneu and their families since taking the Cure. To the patients who have, taken the treatment, or are taking It now, say advice is, to keep away from your oM chums or associates and If they ever ask you to take a drink, point to your Keeley button, which you should al-' ways wear, and tell them you have been to Dwight and taken the Curet And another thing, don't commence drinking ginger ale or any other soft drinks, for sometimes they will lead to something stronger. Try and remem­ ber the advice given to you by Doctor Hamilton in his last lecture. If you take his advice there Is no reason that you should ever start to drinking again. I have never forgotten the ad­ vice Doctor Blaine in his last lecture gave to me twenty-one years ago. I am a strong advocate and flrta friend of the Keeley Treatment aafl shall do all 1 can for it.

I would myself if I could." That set us to thinking. So many peo­ ple have used them and have so enthus­ iastically sounded their praises both to us and their friends, that we had an idea you ail knew about them. But, in the chance that some of you who sujfer from * indigestion, heartburn, dyspepsia or some other stomach complaint, don't know about them--we are writing this, . They contain Bismuth and Pepsin, two of the greatest digestive aids known to medical science.
