Howard, at Elgin last Saturday morning, following an illness covering a period of several months in duration. The deceased was born in this village and succeeded his father in the West Side meat market sdine years ago. He later sold out and moved to Elgin, where he was engiged in the business for a number of years. During the past three years he l^s been employed by the Armour Packing company and had charge of one of its branch con­ cerns in Chicago. He is survived by his parents, a widow and one son, Lloyd; two brothers, L. H. and Har­ old, all residents of Elgin.

McHenry friends extend their sympa­ thy to the bereaved ones. SECOND ENTERTAINMENT COURSE NUMBER The second number on the lyceum course will take place at the school auditorium on Monday night, Nov. 9, consisting of a popular lecture by.one of the most versatile orators on the lyceum platform today. Chas. Howard Plattenburg is a born orator and has scored many triumphs upon the plat­ form. He has appeared on programs with Wm. MoKinley and other of our noted modern statesmen. His talk will probably be in a semi-humorous vein, comparing socia^ life in Europe and America. The present situation in Europe should make this leoture esj»e- cially interesting to all. Come. DR, GR0D1NS IN McHENRY Dr. S. E. Grodins, optometrist, of Chicago has made arrangements with Dr. R. G Cbamberlin of this village whereby he will visit McHenry on Thursdays of each week for the pur­ pose of examining eyes and' fitting glasses. Dr. Grodins has had a wide experience in his profession and in order to introduce his work he offers a 30-day free trial on all glasses fitted by him. Read his advertisement which appears elsewhere in this issue. HAND IN CORN HUSKERS While operating a corn husker on the Frank Grasser farm Monday morn­ ing of this week, Jos. Meyers, a farm hand, had his left hand quite badly mangled in the machine. Dr. N. J. Nye dressed the wounded member and under his care the young man is get­ ting along as well as could be expect­ ed, considering the nature of the wound. {CARD OF THANKS We wish, in this public manner, to express opr sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends who in any way assisted us during the illness and after the death of our beloved one, Jonathan Richardson, Jr. THE RELATIVES. Chicken feed at M. M. Niesen's. WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKE3I NTON IKE COLUHNS OF OUR MANY EXCHANGES MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE Seven hundred feet of rail are being laid daily on the new Badger Electric line which is being built into Lake Geneva, Wis. Right Rev. Rishop P. J. Muldoon was at Woodstock last Sunday, where he confirmed a class of 110 at St. Mary's Catholic church. t Fifty auto trucks were recenty ship­ ped from the Jeffrey automobile fac­ tory at Kenosha, Wis., to the French government for use in the war. Chicken thieves have been operating in the vicinity of Woodstock recently. Will Botts lost fifty fine fowls, includ­ ing a prize rooster during a recent night. The children of the Cary public schools filled two boxes with Christ­ inas gifts for the poor children of Eu­ rope. Other schools of the county al­ so assisted this worthy cause. The people of Sycamore and PeKalb county have just subscribed for $50,000 worth of stock in the Sycamore Fence company, which means that the factory will not move from that city. Eleven auto loads of Marengo's good road boosters journeyed to DeKalb county on a recent, day to witness the work of putting in hard roads and also inspect the roads already completed. The Crystal Lake barbers have re duced the price of hair cuts from 35 to 25 cents. Failure of one barber to stick to the former price is said^tto be the cause for the ^reduction in all shops. Sixty hands were laid off at the Oliver Typewriter factory on Thurs­ day of last and at the same time a five- day working schedule was placed into effect- Hereafter the plant will oper­ ate five instead of four days a week. The Essanay Film company recently sent four of its dramatic stars to a farm near Barrington where a mov­ ing picture was to have been made. Rain prevented the taking of the pic­ tures. The show people will attempt it again soon. The Woodstock hotel has been sold to W. A. Ashley of Rock Island, 111. Th6 new owner took possesion of the hostelry Monday and will conduct same on both the European and American plan. He will also open a first-class cafe in the very near future. H. E. Heintz, who retires from> the hotel business, will go to farming. The schools at Barrington have been closed for a second time during a per­ iod of a month. This time they probably will remain closed until the diphtheria epedemic, which nowprevailsin that vil­ lage, is entirely wiped out. Sixty-five of the three hundred throat cultures of the public school teachers and scholors sent to the labratory of the Chicago board of health were reported as "positive," meaning* pregnant with diphtheria germs. Woodstock Sentinel: Ida, Iva and Eva, the famous Hanna triplets noted from coast to coast, have moved to Woodstock. Their coming here has created more than usual interest, for these dainty little maids are something out of the ordinary run of little girls. Their fame has spread from the Atlan­ tic to the Pacific and they have trav­ elled all over the United States and Canada. Forepaugh, Iiingling Bros, and Gollmar Brothers circuses in turn have proudly displayed the Hanna triplets who spent one year on the road with Forepaugh's, twoyears with Ringling's and one year with Golhnar Brothers, completing their last tour on October 15, of this year. The Hanna triplets were born in Buffalo, N. Y.,'eight years ago. Half of their lives have been spent in travel and they have seen more sights during their short public career than most of us do in a lifetime. Ida, Iva and Eva are so much a-like that even their own father sometimes makes a mistake in telling one frum the other. Iva is an inch shorter than the other two, butall three register the same weight. They are of the fair type, with blue eyes and beautiful long, heavy hair. Ida, fva and Eva started to school last Monday morning. They are enrolled in the second grade in the Clay street building. They have at­ tended school only six months prior to this time, and then they attended school in Chicago, completing the first grade work. Aud hereafter until their education is completed, the bigcircuses will be deprived of the famous Hanna triplets as one of their star attractions, for from now on they are going to at­ tend school regularly, just like other little girls who don't enjoy the unique distinction of "being triplets." The Hanna triplets are living as 918 Clay street. Their father is C. Hanna, a lineman with the Chicago Telephone company. LOSES HAND IN CORN HUSKER While operating a corn husker qn the farm of C. L. Page this morning, W. E. Whiting had the misfortune of having his left han£ taken off in the machine. Dr. N. J. Nye was palled in­ to attendance. tyr. Wniting and his family have the sympathy of our feo-: pie in genepai in the sad misfortune. Coming, the Trey of Hearts at the Central Thursday, Nov. 12. M«rHEfclRY;S SOCIETY Mrs. Marshon Entertains Mrs. Frederic J. Mershon entertained the We're Here Club of Woodstock at a luncheon last Saturday. The morning was most delightfully spent with a motor boat ride to Pistakee Bay. The party returned at 1:30 to enjoy a delicious course luncheon. The afternoon was spent in playing five hutttred. HtittM to Cayvtr CM Miss Gertrude Weber entertained the members of the Gayety club at her home ou Washington street on Tues­ day evening of this week." The even­ ing was passed in playing progressive cinch, the winners of prizes being as follows: First, Mrs. Peter M. Justen, who was the guest of honor; second, Miss Rose Huemann*. consolation, Mrs. J. C. Biekler. The usual refreshments were served. All had a fine time. S*cial Cinch Card Club In her usual pleasing manner, Mrs. J. J. Miller entertained the members of the Social Cinch Card club at her pleasant home on Main street, on the West Side, on Friday evening of last week. Progressive cinch was the en­ tertaining feature of the evening. At the close of the usual number of games prizes were awarded to the following successful players: First, Mrs. Frank Weiugart; second, Mrs. James Revor; consolation, Mrs. J. J. Miller, Follow­ ing the awarding of prizes, refresh­ ments were served, after which all returned to their homes well satisfied with the aimable hostess' manner of entertaining. la Eight Yaara Old Little Parmilla Reitesel very pleas­ antly entertained a number of her little friends at her home last Saturday afternoon, the event being held in honor of the little .-hostess' eighth birthday anniversary. The little peo­ ple arrived at the Reitesel home at the appointed hour and from that time until the event came to a close merri­ ment reigned supreme. Games, as only children know how to enjoy, were indulged in and various other forms of amusement kept the little ones in high spirits during the afternoon. At an appropriate hour refreshments "were partaken of, after which the happy gathering broke up and all'left for their homes. Hallawa'an at Woodman Rail Miss Helen Pint entertained a oom- pany of fifteen at a Hallowe'en party at Woodman hall last Saturday evening. The old time hide and seek party was indulged in, the girls going into hiding, while it was up to the boys to find them. Not being able to locate the girls in the time alotted them the fair ones came from their hiding place, the home of Mi's. J. J. Miller, and gave themselves up. The party then gath­ ered at Woodman.hall, where a few social hours were spent in playing the various Hallowe'en games and indulg­ ing in other forms of amusement suit­ able for the occasion, after which re­ freshments wore partaken of. .Every­ one present had a good time. Tha Ghoata Walk Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Goodell enter­ tained the members of the M. E. church Epworth league at a Hallowe'en party at. their pleasant home on John street last Saturday evening. About thirty jolly ghosts were present to enjoy the event, which proved one of unusual mirth. Just as soon as the last ghost had arrived at the home a silent march, led by a large ghost, was started around the house, thence into the house and upstairs, the leader escort­ ing his followers thru dimly lighted rooms, and finally all landed in the liv­ ing room. "The witch then appeared and everyone had their fortunes told. At the conclusion of the fortune-tell­ ing everyone unmasked to enjoy a few hours at Hallowe'en games of various kiuds. The games were followed with the serving of refreshments, after which the happy gathering broke up, everyone leaving more than satisfied with the entertainment furnished by the amiable hostess and jovial host. ) Dance a Succtti Another very successful and enjoy­ able dance was conducted by the mem­ bers of the Just, Us club at Stoffel's hall last. Saturday evening. In spite of the fact that it was Hallowe'en and many private parties' were held in Mc­ Henry and vicinity, which kept a num­ ber away, the event was attended by sixty-five couples and we dare say that each and everyone present fully en­ joyed the occasion. The hall was artistically decorated in the various schemes which harmonize so well with the Hallowe'en season and those who came were made to feel perfectly at home, the young ladies txerCising their hospitable character in a manner that was most pleasing to those who came to be their guests. Moore's Woodstock orchestra furnished the music and we believe that we are ex­ pressing the opinion of those present when we say that better music was never furnished at a dance held in that hall. The serving of free orangeade was also one of the delightfully pleas­ ing features qf the evening. In short, the dance was a decided success from every i>oint of view and we congratu­ late the members of the club for giv­ ing MoHenry such a high-class public dance, which should be appreciated by ail.

The Dem ocrats ran second, while the Progres sives, with the exception of Congress­ man Copley and Robins, did not make nrtuch of a showing.

Of these twenty-seven voted the straight Republican, fifty-eight the straight Democratic and seven the Progressive. This plainly indicates that there was plenty of scratching of ballots.

Only one woman voted at the Mc­ Henry polls Tuesday. The women probably felt that if they oouldn't vote for all offices they didn't care t6 vote at all. Work on the new F. E. Covalt res­ idence is being pushed with all pas­ sible haste. The home, when complet­ ed, will be one of the prettiest in Mc­ Henry. It. was a Dundee party who owned the car that smashed into the Smith horse and buggy on our streets a week ago last Sunday evening. The damage has been paid. If a little two-line personal will bring one endless amount of corres­ pondence, just think of the returns of |1.00 display ad in Mr. Business Man. The Plaindeatert A. P. Freund, the popular milkman,- was passing around the cigars the first of the week, all on account of a bright baby daughter who arrived at his hQBk# s on Sunday morning. An automatic chequer has recently been installed in the depot here. One can now check his paroel without the assistance of the agent or any other attache of the depot. E. V..

Freund lot in Centerville during the past few months, has been taken down and the fence in front of the lot replaced. The new winter schedule on the Chi­ cago & Northwestern railway became effective on Monday morning of this week. The revised time card appears in this week's issue of The Plaindealer. Read it. Pete Lundgren, a salesman of Elgin, who for a number^f years made Mo- Henry and therefore is well known to many of our readers, is now at Manila. He expects to return to Elgin SOSM time next spring. We notice in one of the Woodstock papers where Frank Geske, a former McHenry boy, has been awarded a five- year medal at the Oliver Typewriter factory. This means that he has been with the company during that number of years. The month's mind mass for the late Rev. A. Royer will be read at St. Mary's church on Wednesday morning of next week. Invitations have been extended to a large number of priests and it is expected that many will re­ spond to the invitations issued. An attempt was made to burn this weeds on the Borden property on Mon­ day of this week. The water was let out of the pond early last spring and the weeds looked pretty dry, but when it came to burning same it was found that they were still a bit green, altho a good portion have succumbed to the blaze. The regular monthly meeting of As local council, Knights of Columbus, takes place at the K. of C. hall this (Thursday) evening. The newly elect­ ed officers will also be installed. The installation work will be performed by the district deputy and his staff. All members are urgently requested ts be present. , •SIN 'it A
