Joslyn, state's attorney and Candidate for renomination, made a very comprehensive speech in Cen- terville on Wednesday evening. He was greeted by Hie largest audience we have yet • seen since the campaign* started. » He went over all the ground, des­ perately seeking exoneration from accusations which he claims are not home and family. His text, "that home and famly. His text, "that he would wade thru no mud slinging," was l^an^led cleverly. „ Inquiries were made by the voters present and he proceeded to mete out justice to him­ self as well as those whom he says jyrongiully reflects uj>on him. At his request Mr. Shurtleff ad­ dressed the audience in his behalf and as a prelude he explained the^ bill pending for a commercial waterway in the house. It was a very inter­ esting speech and were it not for the lateness of the hour and the fact that the immense crowd had become ex­ hausted from standing he could easily have held his hearers for hours, Every word could be heard distinct­ ly lor blocks and his address put an end to many falsehood^ circulated during the campaign. Come again some other day, as we appreciate your instructive talks worth while. The McIIenry band greeted the speakers with some very fine selec­ tions. • Farewell Surprise Miss Helen Heimer was honored with a farewell party at the home of Mr. atfd Mrs. Math. Heimer on Wau- kegan street last Wednesday evenng. Without a doubt Miss Helen was 'dumbfounded when .the word "sur-: prise" greeted her as she entered the house. Several of her West Side friends congratulated themselves on. having handled the affair.so discreet­ ly and adroitly as to have been suc­ cessful in warding off all suspicion, and consequently their victim was sur­ prised to their heart's content. The party is said to have been as an en­ joyable event as McHenry's young foiks have experienced for a long time. Games of every sort and de­ scription were played on the lawn, while music and singing helped to make the gathering a pleasant one. Near the close of the evening the merry-makers were refreshed with somethng "nice and cool." Those constituting the party were as fol­ lows: Misses Mayme Buss, Mayme Ibsh, Mary and Bemice Bonslett, Else Wolff, Clara Miller, Julia and Lenore Freund^ Corabel McOmber, Marion" Whiting, Helen Heimer and two young ladies from Evanston.; Messrs.

Considerable money has been spent on advertising the coming of the choristers and every­ body is aware of it now. A spacious stage to W erected directly opposite the grandstand in the baseball park will occupy the attention of the con­ struction committee the next few days, while the electrician, Jake F. Adams, has promised sufficient ilium- nation to put the choristers and their famous conductor in the lime light between 8 and 10 o'clock next Sunday night. Automobiles will enter the east gate and receive attention from the parking committee. An admisssionof only 25c will be charged to the park, while grandstand seats will be 25c. Automobiles, 50c extra. Since the receipts of the gate go to the choristers, we have no hesita­ tion to predict that the boys will give McHenry people a real musical treat. Father Finn said, "We will be there strong next Sunday." A good turn­ out would be an expression of wel­ come 09 our part. After the concert, which begins at 8 p. m., the ladies will give a reception to the choristers* and their illustrated conductor in one of the west side halls. The transportation committee, of which Mr. Stenger is chairman, will leave West McHenry next Sunday night at 6 p. m., sharp. Eleven cars will go to^Crystal Lake to pick up the choristers.

M, LETTER FROM BROWNSVILLE Charles Newman Wrltee Interesting Letter to Home Folks J toad Flaindeakr ada. '• Brownsville, Texas, Aug. 15, 19W. Dear Mother and Father--Received your most welcome letter yesterday and was very glad to hear from you, as I hadn't heard from any one since you sent those good cookies. I di­ vided them with the fellows that never get anything from home. Am glad Dad is better and able to work after being overcome by the heat. It is awfully hot here, too. When it rains for a Half hour it is dried up inside of fifteen minutes and hotter than before. We are covered with, prickly heat, ring worms and dobey itch. That is caused by the water, as it has been muddy for a week. The Rio Grande has risen about fifteen feet and that's where we get our drinking water. We had a big review here last week, with about 12000 to 15000 soldiers in it, artillery, infantry, cav­ alry, signal corps, engineers and quar­ ter masters' corps, about eighty auto trucks, seventy-five wagons, thirty or forty ambulances, auto and horse. It extended for miles. We are going to have maneuvers for about a month, showing how we could defend our­ selves from an invasion from the gulf or across the river. AH our sergeants and a lot of cor­ porals and privates are being dis­ tributed among militia thruout the district to teach 0and drill them. We are having a hard time with the militia, as they don't obey orders and tell the officers what they think of them. That is why they are putting a lot of regulars over tliere, where there is no discipline at all, but be­ fore they leave here they will be all right, for they will be ruled with a rod of iron. The guard house is never empty. Am glad Gerald has a good, tteady job. Give my best regards to every­ one, Lovingly, f-..
