Return games where scheduled with' Crystal Lake, Genoa Junction and Lake Geneva, but they were cancelled by their respective managers. This year's team has been the light­ est team McHenry has ever .produced, averaging about 130 lbs. -A glance at the games played will show that even if the team was light it was some there when science was required.

Bonslett, Bacon, Dodge, Nickels, Richardson, Petesch, Steph­ enson, Heiiner and E. Bonslett.

WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKEN FROM UK COLUMNS OF IS SWR MANY EXCHANGES. g ^ Wauicegan LOOKING FOR PLACES We are told that saloonkeepers of Woodstock, Nurth Crystal Lake and Harvard are looking for new locations. A few of thtse men have already looked over McHenry. but whether or not any haye deci tiave not learned. MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Elgin's new intercepting sewer sys­ tem will cost that city $437,000. Saloons in Deerfield township, Lake county, will pay a $1,000 license in the. future. Some of the enthusiastic followers of the sport are taking steps to organise a golf club at Harvard. Three thousand watches were made every working day during the month of March at the Elgin National Watch factory. Mrs. Carrie Martin was elected to the office of town collector by the vot era of Harrington - township at last week's election. > ^ : A Waukegan commissioner left church on« recent Sunday when the pastor, in his sermon, attacked the city's administratis. . The Wauconda physician, w|k> a short time ago gained considerable notoriety thru court action, is prepar­ ing to leave that village. The city .treasurer's report as read before the Woodstock city council last week showed a balance of $28,000 as against $13,000 this time last year. The -mayor of Waukegan stopped a parade of the wets in that city on elec tlon day night. The paraders wen| to North Chicago, where they were wel­ comed. ^ , The dry leaders of Waukegan are again to take up the fight of bringing about the five mile zone there. The fight will again be put up to/the legis­ lature this summer. Libertyville, Lake Villa and Vernon townships in Lake county were the only ones to vote dry last week. Four­ teen saloons will be put out of commis­ sion as the result of this. The village of Richmond will again vote on the local option question on Tuesday, April 21. In the township election held last week the drys lost by one vote, but they hope to win at next Tuesday's election. Great excitement prevailed at Loon Lake, Lake county, one day last week when five freight cars were derailed on the Soo line. One of the cars was loaded with dynamite and the greatest of care was exercised in clearing up the wreck, lest there be an explosion. Woodstock is to have a new fire de­ partment building. The structure will be erected in the rear of the present city hall and will be two stories in height. The lower floor will be occu­ pied by the fire department and horses, wfiile' the upper floor will house the driver and caretaker of the horses and department. ^ Mrs. Stella Rummel, a widow resid­ ing at Crystal Lake, has started suit against seven saloonkeepers, two for­ mer saloonkeepers and five owners of property in which the saloons in ques­ tion are located in that village .for $10,000 damages on the charge that the saloon men sold liquor to her minor son, who, it is claimed, as the result of intoxication participated in stealing Bheep. The lad' was arrested and is now serving a ninety day sentence in the county jail at Woodstock. Mrs- Rummel declares that the son was the main support of herself and her family of small children. Young Rummel had a partner, Walkie Marshall, in his sheep stealing escapade. It is stated that after drinking in the saloons the two youthB planned, when under the influence of liquor, to steal the sheep. The lads made a bungling job of it, however, and they were soon found out and arrested, later being sentenced to a ninety day term in the oounty jail. - Seventeen shloons In MoHenry coun­ ty will fight for existence at the village elections to be held April 21 of this month. In Richmond and Grafton townships, which voted wet April 7, the drys filed two petitions--one for township and one for village option. As a result Richmond and Huntley will fight their battles over as villages. Algonquin township did not vote April 7, but the three villages--Algonquin, Cary and Crystal Lake, will vote as villages the twenty-flrst. The wet forces of Huntley are planning to at­ tack the petition which calls for the village option. They have retained attorneys and the signatures of the signers are now being examined. At the last election, there were 198 votes cast, and the drys petition contains but fifty signatures. If one signature is found illegal the petition may be knocked out, as the law provides that twenty-five per cent of the voters at the previous election must sign the petition. At Richmond the township was carried by the wets by a margin of a single vote. Consequently both wet and dry forces expect a hard fight. The wets of Cary express confidence as to the result of the election, while in Algonquin and Crystal Lake both sides concede that the count will be close.

About four years after his death, the widow with the children moved to McHenry, where the deceased continued to make her home up to the time of her death The deceased was first taken ill about two years ago and since that time has never been strong. Her condition be­ came more serious as the time passed by and on the above mentioned date her sufferings came to a close when she answered the voice of Him from whom all blessings come. Miss Schaefer was purely a home body and always lived the life of a true Christian. She was born and raised a Roman Catholic and to the teachings of this faith she remained true to the end. Besides a grief stricken mother, she leaves two brothers and two sisters, as follows: John W. Schaefer, Joseph P. Schaefer, Mrs. John Huff and Mrs. ^Tohn H. Stilling, all of whom reside in and around McHenry. Besides the mem­ bers of her family she is also mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends who extend to the bereaved family their most sincere sympathy.

Fiveyearsafter coming to this coun try the family moved on a farm pear Wauconda, where she continued to make her home until 1877, at which time they purchased the farm known as the old Givens homestead, situated three miles southeast of this village. Her husband passed away on this farm in 1881. During the past eight years she has lived in the homes of her son, Charles, here and her daughter, Emma, at Elgin. Mrs. Givens was a woman possessed of many sterling qualities and ever ready to lend assistance in the hour of need.

The funeral services were held from St. Patrick's church on Tuesday morn­ ing, where Angels' mass was celebrat­ ed at 10 o'clock, Rev. Hagen officiating.

The child hfti not been welf since her birth and in spite of tender care and medical skill she was not to be saved. The death of the infant following so closely upon tha loss of their home n'hich stoyed by fire last summer, makes it doubly sad and the deepest sympathy of our people in general is extended to the bereaved ones. The funeral was held from St. Mary's Catholic church at 8:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning of this week, interment being made in St. Mary's cemetery. • ^43#$ Walter B«l«w M Walter Bolger, one of our most highly respected and best known rural residents, passed away at the family home, a short distance south of town, at five o'clock on Tuesday morning of this week.

This ,1| " question can only be answered by prop- erty owners of the village. Everyone knows what it means to the village and we believe that NOW is the time to decide this important question. The work of grading and scraping / the baseball diamond was started this l t week. From the manner in which the manager of the baseball team is doing h things we are now convinced that Mc- | Henry will not only have a first-class ball team, but the team will ••.<£ real baseball park to play in. ' The police officers have given osft -,- orders that baseball playing mufet be stopped on our main streets. Those who have been in the habit of using ^ the main streets for this sort of exer- ' cise have been told to use the side « streets. > This is as it should be and we ^ believe the boys will respect the orders - in tho future. Contrary to all expectations Megan- ry will not have twenty saloons the ^ coming year. That Is if the ordinance v which the village council passed last week holds good. The ordinance which appears elsewhere in this issue limits the number of saloons in the village to an even doaen, one to every eighty-six inhabitants. ^ The new fixtures for tfee McHenry Telephone exchange are being in­ stalled. With the completion of this work McHenry may boast of one of the neatest little exchanges outside of the larger cities.
