These two teams clashed at Crys­ tal Lake on October 2, the game being the first of the present season for the McHenry squad. The home lads dropped this contest by the close score of 6 to 0, so it may be seen that Crys­ tal Lake had very little on the orange and black at that time. The McHenry team has improved wonderfully since that game and the boys feel quite confident that they can lick the Crys­ tal Lake boys here next Saturday. From what we are able to learn the Crystal Lake eleven have also im­ proved greatly since the McHenry game and only two weeks ago suc­ ceeded in holding the heavy Wood­ stock team down to a 19 to 0 score. This means that the battle next Sat­ urday will be well worth seeing and it is hoped that there will be a large crowd out to encourage the locals on to victory. Thus far this season McHenry has played four games, out of which they have won but one. However, in spite of their defeats their showing this year has been very good. At Elgin they succeeded in trimming the Elgin high school's seconds 6 to 0, while they suffered a like defeat at the hands of the Rockford seconds at Rockford. Two weeks ago they held the heavy DesPlaines high school eleven down to a 13 to 0 score. The boys are anything but dis­ couraged and next Saturday, with a crowd to root for them and the Ad­ vantages of a home field, they hope to make a showing that, will make the local followers of the game sit up and take notice, , Everyone who ejW possibly spare the time should turn out and give the visiting as well as the home players a royal reception. The game will be called at 2:30 o'clock and the general price of ad­ mission will be 25 cents. Don't leave your voice at home, but come prepared to do your share of rooting. Be Reasonable Every once in awjrile someone comes to us with a request that a certain piece of news be kept out of print Sometimes there Is good ground for the request, but more frequently the request is unreasonable. Our sub­ scribers are paying us $1.50 per year for the privilege of reading the hap­ penings of McHenry and the surround­ ing country and when we listen to ^the above requests we are cheating our subscribers out of the news which they pay for. In the future we wish to have it understood that all news items will be published regardless of requests not to do so. Our subscrib­ ers naturally look to The Plaindealer to give them all the news all the time and this we will endeavor to do to the best of our ability. Breaks Leg In Auto Accident John Effinger, who resides pear Volo, is suffering • from a broken leg, as the result of an auto accident, which occurred just east of the river bridge on the Volo road last Satur­ day evening. He was driving along with a companion when the car sud­ denly turned over. In the spill Mr. Effinger was pinned beneath the ma­ chine, with the result that his left leg was broken. He was taken to the office of Dr. N. J. Nye, where the frac­ tured member was set, and altho suf­ fering great pain the first three of four days, reports are to the effect that he is getting along nicely at this writing. Dance at Stoffel's Hall Billfe announcing another social dance at Stoffel's hall on Friday even­ ing of this Week, Nov. 12, are out. The management of the coming event promises those who turn out a pleas­ ant time and already quite a number of the young folks about the Ullage and the surrounding country ar^ mak­ ing plans to attend. Metzger's or­ chestra of Woodstock has been en­ gaged for the occasion, which means that the very best o* music will be provided. Dance tickets, 50 cents. A cordial invitation is extended to every­ one to be present. St. Mary's Church Fair A few ladies from St. Maryjs Cath­ olic church met at the K. of C. hall yesterday afternoon, when it was de­ cided to hold St. Mary's church fair the week of Nov. 21.

Ten new gondolas have been added to the Harvard-Fontana railway line to be used in hauling sand and gravel. Dr. H. J. Smith, a chiropractic phy­ sician, has located at Crystal Lake and taken offices in the Citizens' State bank building. He came from Akron, Ohio. The Woodstock merchants are giv­ ing away coupon tickets with each ten cent cash purchase and at the end bf six weeks a real automobile will be given to the person holding the lucky 'number. Grayslake is to have a new garage. The huilding is to be of cement, brick and steel construction and the dimen­ sions are given as 60x100 feet. W. H. Brandstetter of that village will op­ erate same. Business men of Dundee are urging the Ford Motor company of Detroit, Mich., to buy the old Borden plant in that village to be used as a tractor factory. The building and land are valued at $200,000. ^ Mrs. Charles Treadwell of Chicago, speaking before the Woman's club of Barrington, told her audience among other things that the streets of that village were the most poorly lighted that she had even seen.' R. M. Patrick, the pioneer banker of Marengo, passed away at his home in that city Tuesday of last week as a result of injuries received when he was knocked down by an automobile at that place a short time ago. Lake Geneva's famous hotel has again changed hands and is now owned by two gentlemen from Milwaukee, both of whom have had several years' experience in the largest hotels in the German city. They have confidence in their ability to make it a paying investment. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Moses leftCrys- tal Lake last week Tuesday via auto­ mobile for Ozona, «Fla., a distance of about 2,00d miles. They carry with them a complete camping outfit and instead of putting up at hotels while eqroute they will camp along the roadside when not traveling. , H. J. Kimball, who resides on a farm near Richmond, is telling his friends how he shot a chicken hawk on his farm with a revolver one day last week. Mr. Kimball states that the bird was about fifteen rods dis­ tant when he pulled the trigger. Some marksman, to be sure. Wauconda is to have a boat livery next summer. Evidently that village bids fair to become one of the leading summer resort towns of northern Illi­ nois. Thus far power boats have been quite scarce on the lake there, but when once introduced the cottagers around that beautiful body of water are sure to fall in line and invest in a gasoline launch so that they may enjoy the pleasures of motor boating. At Waukegan yesterday morning the case, which was brought by three Grayslake persons, objecting to the assessment of a sewer cost, was de­ cided in favor of the objectors. The sewet was a large qne apd the total cost was about $25,000 and some of the persons assessed were of the opin­ ion that they had been illegally taxed. They brought suit against the village with the above mentioned result. The total amount of the assessment against the objectors was about $600. Kenosha Telegram: With more favorable financial conditions, it is declared that the project of building an electric railway from Woodstock, 111., to the northern part of Illinois to connect with Lake Geneva is again being considered. The route of the line, as surveyed some years ago, in­ cluded a line thru several of the Ken­ osha towns. The plans of the com­ pany are admitted to be very indef­ inite. It is said that the company is to be organized by capitalists from Chicago, Waukegan and Woodstock and that the ultimate aim of the com­ pany is not only to build a COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Trustees Meet la Special Sesaiett on Tuesday Evening Council Room, Nov. 9, 1915. The village trustees met in special session for the purpose of accepting or rejecting the report of the com­ mittee that met on Monday evening, Nov. 8, 1915, with President Wells presiding. Trustees present: Barbian, Hei­ mer, Stoffel, Schumacher, Simes and Spencer. The following report of the special committee was read: * McHenry, 111., Nov. 9, 1915. The committee, consisting of N. E. Barbian, Wm. Simes, Wm. Spencer, J. H. Miller and Jos. W. freund, ap­ pointed by Village President D. G. Wells on Nov. 2, to investigate and report on the proposition of the Pub­ lic Service company, relativeP'to the granting of a new franchise and a new contract for the lighting of the streets of this village, met in the vil­ lage hall at 9:00 p. nt., to prepare their report, with all members of the ommittee present. Mr. Freund was tominated to act -as chairman and Wm. Spencer to act as secretary. Mr. Stephen, being present, then presented his new lighting contract.to .he committee. After a lengthy dis- :ussion ol' the contract a motion was made by Barbian, seconded by Miller, Lhat the contract of the Public Ser­ vice company be recommended to the village board*-of McHenry for adop­ tion. The vote by acclamation being stronger for the ayes than the naya, the motion was carried. A motion was made, seconded and carried to adjourn. W.. Jos. W. Freund, Chairman. Wm. Spencer, Sec'y.

Ford and Jackson Collide An automobile collision, which from the outset looked quite serious, but which later proved less disastrous, oc­ curred in the business section of Cen- terville last Friday morning, when the Dr. D. G. Wells Jackson touring car and Chas. G. Frett's Ford delivery came together with a thump. The larger car, in the hands of Albert Jus ten, was headed south, while the deliv­ ery, driven by Leonard Frett, was just coming out of the driveway leading to Mr. Frett's barn. Neither of the drivers saw each other until it was too late. Fortunately, however, both cars were going slowly. Had the Wells car been going at any rate of speed at all the chances are that the smaller auto would surely have been smashed up beyond repair and the driver therefore could not have es­ caped ipjury. As it wfts, the Jack­ son struck the Ford squarely in the side, but outside of a few minor de­ fects the machine was not damaged. The most serious damage to the larger car was the breaking of the head­ lights, No one was injured. Standpipc Cleaned Yesterday The standpipe was given its regu­ lar cleaning on Wednesday morning of this week, when the two village officers, with the assistance of two others, went on the job bright and early, and within a few hours the en­ gine at the power house was set in motion in pumping water to refill the giant tank. After the water had all been let out it was discovered that there was about a foot of slime-line mud in the bottom of the tank. How­ ever, the outlet pipe was sufficiently high so as not to allow the mud to get into the mains, which accounts for the fact that the city water has been kept so clean.

All iof the members of the McHenry lodge as well as those belonging to outside lodges and residing in and around Mc­ Henry are also cordially- invited to be present on this occasion. The Mystic Workers are adding to their numLer right aleng and they hope to make the McHenry lodge one of the stjron^- est in this locality. New Du^e% F^r Si^ca the introduction a*d passage of a biM in the legislature recently, the werk registering hirtha and deaths \» now taken from the county clerk and placed in the hands of the village or city clerk, whichever the case may be. Village Clerk W." G. Schreiner has- received notification to this effect and the failure of an under­ taker, midwife or physician to report deaths and births entails a fine. Father of Two Boys Is Also Seri­ ously Injured When Train Hits Auto In Which They Were Riding Russell and Marvin Reed, eight and eleven years, were killed and their father wais seriously injured at a railroad crossing at Ridgefield at about one o'clock last Saturday after­ noon when a fast approaching train struck an automobile in which they were crossing the tracks. The father and one of the boys were sitting in the front seat, while the other boy occupied the rear seat with his uncle, Sidney Reed. Sidney saved himself by jumping. The accident occurred within sight of their home, the wife and mother, who was standing in -the window at the time watching their home-com­ ing, was an eye witness to the terrible accident and she is keeping up large­ ly thru the comforting thought that her husband, who was rushed to the Woodstock hospital soon after the ac­ cident occurred, was not fatally in­ jured and that he will recover. The town is grief stricken as a re­ sult of the accident. The family is one of the most prominent in that vil­ lage and the boys, the only children of Mr. and Mrs. Reed, were popular among their little schoolmates and friends. The crossing where the accident oc­ curred is a dangerous one, It is said, as buildings nearby obstruct a dear view of the tracks and that is how it came that the unfortunate man did not see the train until too late to avoid the catastrophe. The funeral of die two boys took place at Ridgefield Monday afternoon and it proved one of the most touch­ ing that ever occurred there. The public schools closed and all of the children of the entire village attend­ ed the ser vices, which were heia at the Presbyterian church at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. D. V. Blayney officiating. Old neighbors and friends of the family came from miles around, there being no less than twenty automobiles in the funeral procession. Reports from the Woodstock hospi­ tal are to the effect that the father suffered two broken ribs and bad bruises all over his body, especially in the region of his chest, but no internal injuries were sustained. He is under the care of Dr. Windmueller, who re­ ports that the patient is doing very well, considering the nature of his in­ juries, and that he will be able to re­ turn to his home much sooner than first expected. Mr. Reed is aware that his two boys are dead, but is bearing the burden courageously. His escape from death or more serious injury is almost a miracle, according to Dr. Windmueller, Thanksgiving Dance Friends of the McHenry team (and they are numerous) have taken it onto themselves to prepare for the coming Thanksgiving dance, which is to be held at Stoffel's hall here, and from the well-laid plans it looks as if this year's event will sur­ pass all previous efforts. Everyone seems to be interested and quite a number of the young folks, the young ladies as well as young men, have expressed their desire to do what they can to make the dance a success in every way. The young ladies are al­ ready planning the hall decorations and in this they will have the assis­ tance of the Neutral club, which means that the hall will look its best on this occasion. Good music has already been engaged and the advertising mat­ ter for the big event will soon be Qulu Watch for the bills. Celebrated Birthday In honor of her fî t̂ nth birthday anniversary Miss Mildred Gaylord entertained a cojnpa.ny of friends at her home on M&ift street on the West Side on Mo$d$y evening of this week. Games and music furnished plenty of amusement for a few hours, after which refreshments were partaken of. The hostess was the recipient of a. number of gifts, which will serve %s mementoes of this happy occ^si.Qjtu Attention, Automobile Qwltera Have your storage battery taken care of now and avoid trouble next jspring.

Wells is di­ recting his attention towards the stock yards on the West Side, which have been declared a nuisance for some tftne past. The mayor has already taken up the matter with the C. & N. W. rail­ way officials and we predict that early action will be taken. In most of the cities and towns around here the stock yard nuisance has long since been abated and there isn't a reason in the world why Mc Henry should not be relieved and that soon, too. The yards in this village are not only an eyesore, but an impediment to health as well, especially to those residing in the immediate vicinity of the yards. Complaints have been reg istered with the local board of health time and time again and in spite of their efforts to induce the railway company to bring about a change nothing has ever been accomplished,, but, as previously stated; Mayor Wells has taken it upon himself to see that something is done, and residents in that part of town may rest assured that our mayor will not drop matters until some definite action has been taken by those who are responsible for the establismennt of the stock yards within the corporate limits of the village of McHenry. Blankets in cotton and all' wool from $1.00 to $6.00 per pair at H. J. Walsh's. Runs Thru End of Barn Fred Powers had an experience with his new Ford last Friday evening that would have made one of the best mov­ ing picture films ever produced. Up until last week Mr. Powers had been driving an Overland touring car, but dccidcd he Wunlea a Ford roadster. He and the local distributer got busy with the result that a trade was made. Now anyone who has the experience knows that the clutches, brakes and speeds on the two cars aren't anything alike and it was undoubtedly his con­ fusion in the operating parts of the new machine that caused the accident. Mr. Powers had been out for an aft­ ernoon drive and was driving the ma­ chine into the barn on the John Brents place, occupied by Martin Stof­ fel, when the blamed thing refused to stop. In spite of the frantic ef­ forts of the driver "Lizzie" kept right on going and it wasn't until the ma­ chine had passed thru the end of the barn and a barbed wire fence that she came to a stop. Strange as it may seem, the driver as well as the car escaped serious injury, all of the dam­ ages being repaired within a few hours the following day. Hand picked assorted winter apples, 75 cents and $1.00 per bushel. J. V. Buckland, Ringwood, 111. 19-$t Take In Six Members Six new members were initiated into the local camp of M. W.

Mr. and Mrs. John Brown, who re­ side on a farm near Wauconda, are the proud parents of a baby boy, born to them on Oct. 27. Mr. and Mrs. Brown formerly resided in the imme­ diate vicinity of McHenry, where they have many friends who will be pleased to learn the news. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Harrison have moved from their farm, a short dis­ tance south of town, to their newly purchased home at Crystal Lake. Mc­ Henry people as well as rural resi­ dents are sorry to see this highly esteemed family leave, but sincerely trust that they will enjoy their new home. ^ • 'T M- ; M ilik .* * -'.J' * ,v= A few of our football fans, wltio made the trip to Woodstock last Sat­ urday afternoon with the expectation of seeing our gridiron heroes do bat­ tle with the Woodstock highs, came home very much disappointed. On reaching the Oliver city they learned that the McHenry game had been called off and that the Lake Geneva highs had been secured in their stead. The act looks to us aa very uaaporto- manlike. The Richmond Gazette, one of the (leanest and newsiest publications that comes to our exchange table, has changed from a six to seven column quarto. The change was made so as to give more space for advertising purposes as well as more news to the subscribers. Once more we congrat­ ulate Bro. Scott upon his enterprise and trust that the change will bring more advertising and added subewriib- ers to his already excellent list.
