Diwd Woodburn herfc Knee the inauguration of the new summer time table on the C. & N. W. railway McHenry people and sum­ mer resorters have been anything but pleased with the service given on Monday morning, when the so called Lake Geneva flyer has been delaying the regular* morning train by.from fifteen to*, twenty minutes. M. A. Howell recently took up the matter with the state public utilities commission and they in turn took it up with the railroad company with the result that better service is prom­ ised in the future. We herewith reproduce the corres­ pondence which took place between Mr. Howell, the State Public Utili­ ties Commission and the railroad company, which are self explanatory and which will be of interest to our readers as well as resorters trav­ eling between this village and Chica­ go- State Public Utility Commission, 175 W. Jackson Blvd. The writer desires to make a com­ plaint in reference to the train ser­ vice on the C. & N. W. R. R. from McHenry, HI., to Chicago, train No'. 644 and 649. This train is scheduled to stop at Mchenry, south bound, at 8:88 a. m. daily, but on Monday mornings there is a parlor car section starting at Williams Bay at 7:50 that takes the place on the schedule time and runs thru McHenry without a stop, usually slowing up to take the mail.; Follow ing this thru section comes the reg­ ular section, which stops at McHcn- ry„ but as above stated, Monday a .M. is from 15 to 20 minutes later, arriv­ ing in Chicago from 20 to 85 minutes late, making it very disagreeable for the public desiring to reach Chi­ cago at the schedule time, which is 9:40 a. m. This same trouble occurs on its north bound trip Fridays and Saturdays, but does not make as much difference to patrphs north bound. It is the desire of the writer and the people of' McHenry and suiqfner resorters in and around there that this train stop as scheduled, as Mon­ day is usually an important business day and patrons from McHenry de­ sire equfil service to people at Lake Geneva, even if they have not as much money. Any assistance you can give will be appreciated. M. A. Howell. CELEBRATMR B1U SUCCESS |MM$Era£ CROWD IN Ta\p*/ON ' MONDAY :• -'*2 V:£' Chicago, 111., June 23, 1915. Mr. M. A.

Dear Sir--Referring to your letter of recent date, making cpiaplaint against the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad company relative to train service between Chicago and $|c- Henry, 111. We have had this mater up with Mr. A. C.

Anniversary Dance The thirteenth anniversary of Smith's hall at Johnsburg will be properly observed at that place with a grand dance to be held on Wednes­ day evening, July 14. It is just thir­ teen years ago that Smith's hall was built and each year since then a dance has been held to commemorate the event Manager Smith informs us that thirteen brings little fear tp him and adds further that he believes that the hoodoo" anniversary will prove one of the biggest successes ever. At any rate he is making plans to entertain a big crowd on this occasion and ex­ tends a hearty invitation to everyone to be' his guest on that night. The Northern Illinois orchestra will fur­ nish the njusic. Dance tickets, 50 cents. • Jaaaer Boat Servfae Hie E. Hunter boat line has an­ nounced its regular summer boat schedule, which appears in an adver­ tisement, elsewhere in this week's issue, besides making the regular daily trips between McHenry, Pis- takee Bay and Fox Lake, boats may also be rented any time and for any occasion. Any information desired m this line will be freely gtven by calling up the boat factory. Big Crowd is Handled Nicely by Reg­ ular and Special Policemeu--Pro­ gram at Park One of the biggest and best Fourth of July celebrations McHenry has had in the last quarter of a century was that of last Monda^, when the old town entertained the largest crowd that has been here at any time since the days of the old settlers' meet­ ings. A crowd like that of Monday is very hard to estimate, but we would venture a guess that there were no less than five thousand visitors in town on that day to help McHenry celebrate our nation's birthday. Fig­ uring those who came to McHenry to spend the two days along the river and those who stopped for eats on their way in and out we would say that no less than ten thousand people visited the village. As previously stated, the celebra tion, which was given under the di rection of St. Mary's church, was one grand success, both socially and fi nancially. The celebration really began at the public park on Sunday evening, when a well selected program was presented before a crowd of several hundred people. Had the night been warm the crowd on Sunday evening would have been doubled. .Each and every number on the pro gram was fine. The instrumental and vocal selections, as well as the drills by the school children, and the recita tion by Elsie Vycital were all well re­ ceived, as were the German and Irish songs by Rev. Lonergan of Gary. The principal speakers of the even ing Judge Charles H. Donnally of Woodstock and Rt. Rev. Bishop P. J Muldoon of Rookford, gave two very interesting as well as masterful talks. Both talked along the lines of patroitism and if any one of those present left the grounds without be­ ing more than enthusiastic in their feeling of patriotism for this grand old United States it surely was not the fault of these two distinguished speakers, Time after time during the course of their talks the speakers were obliged to stop until the ap­ plause had subsided. .Truly it was an evening that will not be so soon for­ gotten by those who were fortunate enough to be numbered among the audience. Rev. F. J. Epstein of Volo introduced the speakers and did so-in his usual distinct and pleasing man­ ner. On Monday morning, long before the time for the big business parade, people began to stream into town trains, motorcycles, bicycles and every from all directions. Automobiles, other sort of vehicle were employed in bringing the big crowd to town. As advertised,*the parade, headed by the marshal of the day, G. E. Schoel, and the Woodstock brass band formed at the depot at 10:30 and the line of march was as printed in last last week's issue of The Plaindealer, viz.: East on Main street to Green street, north on Green street to Elm street, east on Elm street to Water street, north on Water street to Pearl street, west on Pearl street to the park. The parade halted at the Central opera house corner while the band played three selections. While all of the business houses and men were not represented in the parade, there were enough of them to make a splendid showing, the floats of Nick Bohr and C. Unti being especially good. The crowd followed the parade to the park and all day long and un­ til late in the night that place pre­ sented a scene not seen there in years apd years. The various stands, amusements, merry-go-round, dining room, dance hall, etc., all received a splendid pat­ ronage during the entire day and evening. The sports and races were pulled off at three o'clock, the various events and the winners thereof be­ ing as follows: Fifty yard dash for married wom­ en,.won by Mrs. J. P. Smith. One hundred yard dash for Tfffciv won. by Guy Bacon. , Shot put, won by John Larsen. Potato race for young ladies, won bp Miss Lillian Stilling. Fat men*8 race, won by John Lar­ sen. .

Unti, proprte* tor, Game Next Sunday Next Sunday the fast Rockford Ma< roons are coming to McHenry for their first appearance. The Rockford team is made up tf a number of ex minor leaguers and is said to be of the strongest traveling clubs in the northern part of the state. They have met and defeated such teams as the Janesville Cardinals, Belvidere Na­ tionals and Henry Greys, which will give the fans some idea as to their strength. The McHenry boys have not lost any of their confidence in spite of last Monday's bad defeat and want to show the baseball* fans who patronize the games here that they still have some good baseball in them. Turn out next Sunday and watch the boys redeem themselves. They are sure to turn the trick. Game called at the usual hour, while the prices of admission will remain the same as before.

Cy Sand- ford took it over and he and Mr. Lilli­ berg soon had it floating on the silver wavelets of Fox river. The boat is of Mr. Lilliberg's own design and construction, and is one of the very few gasoline boats to be fitted with twin screws, which enable the craft to navigate in much shallower water than would be possible if it had a single screw. He tried it out on Sunday and found that it was a great success. For a few days only we will sell best grade binder twine for 8ic per pound spot cash. Wi^Bonslett.

"The Littlest Rebel" "The Littlest Rebel" deals with the closing days of the Civil war, and tells a story of tenderness and hu­ manity of a father's love for his child, a love which prompts him to disregard all dangers and in the face of death, fight his way through the enemies' lines to bring food to the little girl who is hiding all alone in a rough log cabin near the Northern lines. Tracked by Federal soldiers the father is compelled to conceal himself in the loft of the cabin, after exacting a promise from the Little- est Rebel to tell his pursuers that he has gone. The little girl has never told a lie in her life, but for the sake of her father and for General Lee she promises to tell a "whopper." The cabin door is broken down by the Northern soldiers, who, under the command of Col. Morrison, rush in with drawn swords expecting to find the man they are after. Instead, they are confronted only by a dainty tot of a girl who sits at a table with her rag doll. She tells the "whopper" and convinces Col. Mor­ rison that her father is not there. An unlucky move on the part of the man hiding in the loft, how­ ever, reveals his presence,and he is compelled to descend. On the point of being led out before the firing squad to be shot to death as a spy, the father turns to say good-bye to his child, after reviving a prom­ ise from the norther "soldiers to get the little tot to Richmond. "And 111 see, you in Richmond, Daddy of course," she says. The heart-rend­ ing scene is more than Col. Morrison can stand, and instead of ordering the father to be shot, writes a pass through the lines to be used by the little girl and her father. Coming to the Central opera house, Sunday, July 11.
