Miss Katnryn Kennebeck of Wood- That ^e old - FOK river brfdjgMs in "fiato'^Ood ttet>alr to be condemned "aiict that this structure will do service for some time to come is made known thru a letter, from the state officials at Springfield to County Superintendent of Highways C. L. Tryon. The letter plainly states that one Of the state engineers visited McHenry some time ago and uiude a thoro ex­ amination of the Fox river bridge in this village. His report to the state department showed the bridge to be in too good repair to be condemned and for this reason it was recommended to construct a new and modern .floor pn same, strengthen t|>e end posts and tighten up the bolts. ! The county superintendent of high* ways met with the road and bridge committee, composed of McHeary coun-. ty supervisors, at the bridge here oa Monday afternoon and it was decided to advertise for bids on a new floor and to make the other improvements sug­ gested by the state. The new floor will be made of creo^- soted plank with a bituminous wearing surface. The plank will be either of red oak or yellow pine and three inches in thickness. Oakum will be used be­ tween the planks to make same abso­ lutely water tight. On top of the plank will be spread a one-inch layer of hot asphalt with a one-inch layer of pea gravel. These two layers will natur­ ally keep the wear off the plank, which means that the plank will give a con­ tinuous service of from twenty to thir* ty years, while it will be necessary to replace die top finish every five or six years. Bids should be in and contracts let by the middle of this' month, after which work will be started. The bridge, we are told, will be closed to traffic for several days whilp the new floor is being laid. While the traveling pablic and vil­ lagers in general are glad to know that the improvements are to be made, everyone will be sadly disappointed in learning that a foot bridge is absolute­ ly out of the question at this time. It is a well established fact-that the present structure is far too narrow to accommodate the immense summer traffic, which "makes same a mighty, dangerous place, especially on Satur­ days and Sundays Trhen the traffic iB the greatest. Everyone expected that a foot bridge would be the first improvement to be taken into consideration and decided upon and now that this feature has been passed up for the time being, at least, a general protest s4ems to pre­ vail. T^he supervisors and those who fcavd taken the matter in hand proclaim that this is the very best that can be done at this time, altho a foot bridge would toe built provided the improve­ ment was paid for out of the village treasury. The meeting here Monday afternoon was attended by Supervisors Wright of Marengo, Forrest of Chemung and Perkins of Seneca. State's Atty. D. MoHENRY, THURSDAY.

STOFFO-CARNER WEDDKG A SDK D fuse 10 TIER FRIENDS FCNGELN-MILLER NUPTIALS-MISS MABEL M. GRANGER AND MR. GEORGE JOHNSON ARE UNITED One of the prettiest weddings to take place in McHenry in a long, long time occurred at the home of Mrs. F. K. Granger on Main street, on the West Side, last evening at 7:30o'clock, when her daughter, Mablo M., and Mr. George J. Johnson of North Crystal Lake bowed before hymen's shrine. The cerombny was one of the most beautiful as well as impressive ever witnessed In the village and the two principals of the happy event carried out their respective roles to perfection. At the appointed hour the bridal pair slowly and gracefully walked down the stairway at the home and took their places beneath a floral bower most artistically arranged in the bay window on the east side of the living room. Here they were met by Rev. Flack of Chicago, who in a clear and distinct voice spoke the words that made the two man and wife, the simple ring ceremony being used. The couple was attended by Mr. and Mrs. A. Ken neth Burns of Chicago. The bride never looked sweeter. She was most becomingly gowned in white crepe meteor and shadow lace. She carried a bouquet of white bridal roses. Mrs. Burns wore a dress of while crepe de chine and carried a bouquet of pink sweet peas. 1 Immediately following the ceremony and after receiving the congratulations of those present, all sat down to a bountiful Redding dinner. Before the dinner was over an awaiting auto carried the couple to Crystal Lake, where they boanded a train for Chica­ go, where they will enjoy a short honeymoon. The bride of this happy union is the second youngest daughter of Mrs. F. K. Granger of this village. Having resided in the village her entire life, it would be folly for us even to try and introduce her to the people of this place, where she has come to be known and loved by our entire populace. She is a product of the McHenry high school, having graduated with the class of '02. Nine years ago she entered the employ of the Bank of McHenry, where she has remained continually up to a few weeks ago, when she resigned her position in preparation of last evening's event. During the years that she was employed at this banking Institution she came in contact with many peiople and we dare say that it was not only her employers who regretted her resignation, as the pat­ ron* of the place will never forget her ever accommodating ways and the pleas­ ing manner in which she discharged her daily duties while thus employed. Among the younger social set she was a prime favorite. She is a member of the McHenry High School Alumni association and was always a most active member of the "Just Us" club. The groom is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Johnson, well known and highly respected residents of North Crystal Lake. He is a young man of sterling worth and excellent habits. He came to McHenry a few ydarsjago to take a position In the officevof the Wilbur Lumber company. It was while so employed that he met the young lady who was made his wife last evening. During the year or more that he was employed here he made a study of the lumber business and after leaving this village he entered the employ of the Wheeler Lumber corn- pan^ of Rockford, for which he is now traveling. He is considered one of the company's very best as well as most popular salesmen and since going out on the road has met with exceptional success. Owing to the fact that Mr. Johnson's territory lies mostly 'in the state of Wisconsin, the couple will make their futr.* heir ? at 333 North High street* Jancsville, Wis.,, where they will be at home to their friends shortly. The Plaindealer joins their many friends in extending congratulatimB. riiftfai m ho has spent practically his whole life. He is employed as fireman with the Chicago & Northwestern Railway com­ pany. Aftnong his acquaintances he is popular and enjoys the respect of all who know him. Owing to the fact that Mr. Miller is changed about considerably by his com­ pany, the couple have not decided as to where they will make their future home. McHenry friends extend con gratulations. 8f»Htf-GamMr The younger set of this' village was given a surprise last week Wednesday afternoon when the news reached this village announcing the marriage of Miss Frances Elizabeth Stoffel of this village to Mr. Howard J. Garner of Chicago, which occurred at Woodstock that afternoon. The couple came back to the village shortly after the knot had been tied and here received the congratulations of their friends. The bride is ihe oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Stoffel of this vil­ lage."1 She has always made her home here and during the past few years has been employed as night operator for the Chicago Telephone company. She is a young woman of many pleasing qualities and she counts her friends by the score. The groom is a native of Chicago and came to McHenry last summer. With the exception of a short time last winter he has been in McHenry ever since his first arrival. Since com­ ing here he has made many friends, especially among the young folks with whom he has mingled. His father is engaged in business in Chicago and he will be employed with him in the future. The young couple have already gone to Chicago to make their future home. The best wishes of their friends here accompanied them to that city. DECORATION DAY EXERCISES isro. si - ITEMS OF LOCAL UMATIST AS nCKED or BY rUINPEAtER KE- rMTEKDmniKwdk ; ARE HELD AT THE CENTRAL OPERA HOUSE AND CEMETERIES •f-ti 111 En«aln-Nill«r Miss Gertrude Engeln, fourth daugh­ ter of Mrs. Barbara Engeln of this vil­ lage, and Mr. Fred Miller of Cary were united in marriage at St. Mary's Cath­ olic church parsonage here at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, Rev. A. Royer being the officiating clergyman. The wedding was of a most simple nature. The couple were attended by Miss Dora Engeln, sister of the bridti, and Frank Miller, brother of the groom. The bride wore a blue suit. After the ceremony the couple were tendered a reception at the home of the bride's mother. Only immediate members of the family and a few in­ vited friends attended the reception. The couple left l$st night on a short wedding trip and expect to he back the latter part of this or the fore part of next week. The bride has always made this vil­ lage her home, where she is loved and esteemed by all those who have formed her acquaintance. She. has a large circle of friends, who wish her unbound­ ed happiness and prosperity. Thegroom is s native of Cary, where ̂ Decoration day was given the proper observance in McHenry this year and those In oharge of the exercises are to be congratulated upon the manner in which the day was celebrated. The exercises and program were in charge of the members of the two Royal Neighbor and Woodman camps of this village and, to say the least, the qoramittee In charge certainly did itself proud. The program took place at the Cen­ tral opera house at 2:30 o'clock. The program was opened with a march played by Mrs. J. W. Smith, to the strains of which the members of the Royal Neighbor camps, who took part in the program, marched to the stage of the opera house and took their places in chairs which had previously been arranged for the occasion. The next number was the singingof "Amer­ ica" by the audience. Mrs. S. S. Giddings arose and in a clear and distinct voice explained to the audienoe the part the Royal Neigh­ bors were taking in the exercises. She explained that the first Sunday in June had been set aside as a day on which Royal Neighbors all over the country should gather to pay a tribute to deceased members. This Sunday is also observed as memorial Sunday by the Catholic churches in this village and elsewhere and, in view of the fact that a large per cent' of the members of the^ camps are Catholics, it was de­ cided to hold the exercises in conjunc­ tion with the regular memorial day observance. The regular Royal Neighbor exer­ cises were then gone thru, which in­ cluded the draping of the chairs of th4 departed sisters and brothers. Commander H. C. Mead was called upon for a talk and responded in his usual pleasing manner. He was fol­ lowed by Simon Stoffel, who also of­ fered some very appropriate remarks. After the last number had been giv­ en a line was formed and march made to the Woodland and St. Mary's ceme­ teries, where th« grftve? of the depart ed bolulcio. well as members of the Royal Neighbor and Woodman camps were decked with the choicest of flowers. This concluded a day long to be re­ membered by those who took part and it is hoped that this spirit of loyalty will never grdw cold in McHenry. AN OUTING PARTY On Sunday last a number of young people gathered at the home of M. A. Sutton, where they prepared a picnio lunch. Then all climbed into a waiting hay rack and journeyed to Lake De­ fiance. The party arrived at the noon hour and little time was wasted before they sat down to a delightful picnic lunch prepared by the ladies. In the afternoon boating, fishing and games were indulged in, while the victrola furnished delightful music. During the day many snap shots were taken, which will serve to keep the delight­ ful time in the memory of those pres­ ent. The guest of honor was Stewart I. Drum of Topeka, Kansas, a close friend of Will Suiton's. Others pres­ ent were Mr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Hoel- scher and son, Robert, Miss Nell Kel­ ly and J. B- Kelter of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. M. A.
