Rep. Bolger Against Baae Representative Thomas A. Bolger «f McHenry was much in evidence during the meeting. He made sever- •1 talks during the session. He . /Voiced sentiment in favor of abolishing the base and surplus. He also gaid he had lost faith in some of the •officers of the association and favored the election of a president by dele- • gates and not by the executive board. This message brought a -loud cheer *4rom the section occupied by members ; mot delegates to the meeting. Delegates also joined in the applause. Rep. Bolger also said he waa against the action of the president of ' fhe Pure Milk in opposing the bill to continue the state investigation, jfr. Bolger told some keepr for her father, manufacturer of the Heidelberg products. The groom is a salesman for the Heidelberg products and ha* several customers in this city.

W-„ ' . * Later in the evening Gen. Balbo attended the banquet and spoke to the airmen, congratulating them their work, thanking them for their welcome and giving to an American the credit for blazing a course across the Atlantic. He said the slogan of the aviators of Italy was, "Take your time and you'll get there" On Monday Lieut. Mathews was among the escort of American officers on the staff of aviation which accompanied General l?aft>o through the Century of Progress and was present when he was made Chief Flying Eagle, in the Indian village. , Mathews also went through Balbo's ship, which carried elaborate and perfect equipment, including a wrieless which enabled the General to speak to other ships of his squadron. Mathews invited the Italian flyers to pause in McHe'nry when it was expected that the would motor through to Lake Geneva and although there were 1,000 requests from cities for the Italians to visit them yet they promised if they went through McHenry they would pause here for a brief minute or two. This trip was never made, however. On Tuesday Lieut. aMthews with Alex Justen went to Fort Sheridan, where they again saw Gen. Balbo and his officers when they were entertained by the army. , T Among the entertainment for the distinguished guests was a polo game and marvelous air show put on by American flyers from Selfridge field. The two McHenry men had an opportunity to stand near Balbo and obtain a good view of him. Jumps Here Aag. Il Lieut. Mathews states that he will make a balloon ascension and parachute jump at St. Mary's church carnival on August 13. The ascension, which will be made about 7 p. m., will be made at about 5,000 feet and the jump will be most sensational as the lieutenant will cl«se his parachute during the descent and reopen it again before he reaches the ground This is a dangerous feat but enables, him to land nearer a designated spot. The balloon will be a large one obtained from Thompson Bros., who will advertise the event ana a big crowd is expected. Lieut. MathewB has recently received a decoration from the Thompson Bros., awarded for a certain amount of knowledge and work and has received letters of congratulations from Gov. Horner and Mayor Kelly of Chicago. * * T0UTHDR0WM8 151 * tN FOX RIVER TWO FIRES SATURDAY CAUSE HEAVY LOSSES Saturday was a busy day for the McHienry fire department .with the fire truck going directly from a fire at Riverdale to the John Carey farm near Ringwood where a barn burned. The first alarm came shortly after 11 o'clock Saturday morning when the boat house and expensive boat at the summer home of J. W. Guyer at Riverdale were destroyed by fire. Guyer had been working on his boat when it back-fired probably igniting some gasoline or oil and enveloping it in flames the boat and house burning rapidly. The loss is estimated at about $10,000. When they were returning from Riverdale the fire department saw the flames from the second fire and speeded to the Thomas Doherty farm tHf&r Ringwood where with the Richmond fire department they were successful in protecting other buildings i-n the farm while the big barn burned to the ground. The fire started in" the hay mow where about 60 tons or new hay were stored and it i9 thought that spontaneous combustion caused the blaze. The men were grinding feed at the barn and begining to smell smoke they started to investigate but almost immediately tongues of flame broke through the roof of the barn and although fire extinguishers were used, the flames spread rapidly and the barn was destroyed with its contents of hay, grain and machinery. The loss is estimated at about $7,000 which is partially covered by insurance. The barn was built about fifteen years ago. Plunging into Fox river near the Bayview subdivision, a mile south of Burton's bridge, Sunda' afternoon, after he had eaten a 1) arty dinner, William Bingham, 21, < hkago, sank to his death. Coroner E. H. Cook conducted an inquest Sunday bight at the Warner funeral home at Crystal Lake and a verdict of accidental drowing was returned, the jury deciding that the ycuth had gone into the water too soon after eating and was seized with cramps. Bingham, with his parents and sister, had driven out for a picnic dinner Sunday. As soon as dinner was over the young man donned his swimming suit and plunged into the water. He had been swimming only a few minutes when he sank from sight- Other swimmers were in the river a short distance away and Bingham's screams for help attracted their attention. A Chicago man whose name was not obtained by the coroner, swam to Bingham's rescue, but the younth became panicky and grabbed him around the neck. Both went beneath the water, but the rescuer finally managed to break Bingham's hold and escaped death. The body was located within an hour, but all artificial respiration failed and efforts to revive the youth were futile.

H. J- Schnaitman will be the manager of the brewery, which will be operated under the name of McHenry Brewing company. Mr. Schnaitman has had twenty years experience in the brewery business and is plans for a successful business. The old equipment is being replaced with the newest and most modern tanks and machinery and it is expect ed that when full capacity is reached the yearly output will be 75,000 bar rels. All local men will be employed at the brewery and six men were added to th£ force this week, with the prospect of adding employment as time goes by. The new tanks are installed and the contract has been let fpr the drilling of a well and much activity is evident in the new preparations for an up-to-date business. Five big steel tanks, each weighing two tons, will hold the brew and a large ice machine will run night and day in the big cooling system. Built 75 Years Ago How different from the days1 of fifty years ago or seventy-five years ago, when the brewery was first built and the most primitive methods were used in the manufacture of beer. The brewery is one of the oldest buildings in McHenry, being built about seventy-five years ago, about the same time as the Riverside hotel was put up. King 4 Herbes were probably the first brewers in McHenry when the building was much smaller than the present structure, the brick part being the old original building. Nearly sixty years ago, in 1874, the business came into the possession of ST.

When a young man he came to America, first coming to Chicago and then working in Stenger's brewery at Aurora and one at Naperville. . While in Chicago he met his wife, who was born in the tame town that the late Mayor Cermak came from, coming to America in the year of the Chicago fire. In 1873 they were married, coming to McHenry to make their home, living in the brewery build ing until the time of his death when Mrs. Boley moved to her home on the adjoining corner, where she now lives alone at the age of 86 years. Mr. Boley had only reached the prime *.f life when death called him at the age of 56 years. *" Remodeled In 18W In 1899, just before his dftiCfr, Mr. Boley remodeled the brewery and built on an addition at an expense of about $5,000 and installed steam boilers and an up-to-<Vte plant at that time- Previous to that time there were no boilers or tanks, the beer being boiled in a huge brew kettle over a rudely constructed furnace fueled with wood. The mashing process was di.ne by hand they made their own roalt. There was no ice plant in those days, but the basement walls were luilt of three layers of brick and dirt was banked against the walls to keep the interior cool. During the last year or two of Mr. Boley's life he was ass^+ed by Mike Worts, who had married one of his daughters, and who gave up a good offer to go to Mobile, Ala., to come terc and help his father-in-law. After the death of Mr. Boley in 1900 the brewery was run for five years by vGrott and Damgard, after which it was again taken over by Mike Worts and G. C. Boley, better known as "Patsy" and younger son of the former owner. In 1916 the brewery was closed until 1924 when the building was sold to William Kline of Chicago, present owner of the place. During the last few years malt has been manufsjatuDed here until now the building will again come into its own as a brewery, Thus with the advancing years the pvospfess and improvement of the times is made evident in the changes which have taken place in this business enterprise of McHenry. From the most primitive days of hand-power, then through the age >of horsepower, up to the present age of electricity and superlative modern equipn. fnt the progress of a century can be traced with the more modern eauipment a greater output can be realized.
