Officials of a large textile company of New York are coming to Waukegan soon to look over the city with a view of establishing a large factory there. The Crystal Lake city council tys voted to employ engineers to draw plans, specifications and take charge of the construction of an extensive paving project. Lakeside, one of the fouff buildings owned by the Lake Geneva sanitarium, was sold last week to Harold Mitchell of Chicago and will be rfemodeled into a first-class hotel. ^ There is some talk at Fox Lake of erecting a new $20,000 school building there, the present quarters being far too small to accommodate the present school attendance. Fred Zink of Crystal Lake, orife qf the few broom corn growers in this section, shipped his crop, consisting of about two tons, last week. He received $160 per ton. The Lake county board of supervisors is seriouSly considering the purchase of a gravel washer. The estimate cost of such an equipment would be between $12,000 and $13,000. The city council of Harvard is getting its wheel tax ordinance in shape for an early passing. The ordinance will be similar to those now in force in this city and Woodstock. Major Harry Yagle, at one time employed at the Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock, is now organizing a taxicab service for the Yellow Cab company in Japan, India find China. The Crystal Lake Music company closed its place of business last week. Stanley Smith, senior member of the firm, will go to Waupaca, Wis., where he will engage in a similar business with his father-in-law. The J. H. Patterson company, dealers in lumber and building material, expect to move their purchasing office from Marengo to Rockford on Nov. 1. The general offices - of the company have been in Rockford for some time past. H. J.

The Ku Klux Klan held another meeting at Genoa Junction, Wis., on Tuesday evening of last week. The American Legion hall, where the meeting took place, was filled to standing capacity. Dr. W. S. Harper of St. Paul, Miiuu, was principal speaker. The new bridge ra Belvidere road east of -Waukegan has finally been accepted by the state. There is still about three-quarters of a mile of paving to be put in before the entire road between the bridge and the Green Bay i4>ad is completed. However, it looks as if this will be completed this fall. LeRoy Sout of Hebron was fined $3.00 and costs by Justice Brown at Woodstock last Friday after having been arrested by Sheriff Lester Edinger on a charge of assault and battery preferred by John Thompson of Hartland township. It is said that the two quarreled over a milk check. According to state geological surveyors the highest point of land in Mc- Henry county is located two points north of the James Wilson school at Alden, which shows an elevation of 1,189 ft. For yeafs the supposition prevailed that the high point of our county was located south of Marengo, or in the town of Seneca, near the Kanaly farm. 'A. J. McVickers, freight conductor on the Crystal Lake branch ef the" C. & N. W. railways was instantly killed one morning recently when he was thrown from the rear of a way-car.

Petesch of this city, has joined the ranks of the Benedicts, his marriage to Miss Elizajt>eth Augustine Adair having taken place at Birmingham, Ala., on Tuesday, Oct. 16. Mr. Petesch was reared in this city and after completing the McHenry high school attended the State University at Urbana. While at the university he enlisted his services during the late World war and served in the United States army until some time after the armistice was signed, when he was given his honorble discharge. During his high school days in this city he distinguished himself as an athlete, having been a member of the only championship basket ball team ever turned out at the school. He is also a member of the foot ball team. The Birmingham Age-Herald contained the following account of t^e wedding: "A marriage, in which the widest social interest of countless friends centered, was that of Miss Elizabeth Augustine Adair and Mr. Germer Petesch, which was solemnized Tuesday evening at the Church of the Advent, Rev. Middleton Barnwell officiating. "A brilliant assemblage of friends of the bride and groom witnessed the ceremony. , "The church was lavishly decorated with many white chrysanthemums, palms and ferns, these being used in abundance around the altar. "Miss Adair was attended by her sister, Miss Sidney Adair, as maid of honor, who wore a frock of blue chiffon and carried sweetheart roses. "The bride, one of Birmingham's loveliest girls, was beautiful in her bridal robe of white velvet and veil of tulle and duchess lace, the veil her grandmother wore at her wedding. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and valley lilies. "Mr. Pratt Thomas served the groom as best man and the ushers were Messrs. Rucker Agee, John Haskins, Gordon Palmer and Hayes Tucker of Tuscaloosa. Mr. and Mrs. Adair entertained the members of the wedding part immediately following the ceremony." SEASON SETS RECORD * • IN .DREDGING PERMITS More dredging and channel permits have been issued by the Illinois state department of public works and buildings in this summer resort region during the season just closed than ever before and, judging from present indications, the activity along this line will be even greater next year. Between Algonquin and the chain of lakes there are now several dredging outfits at work with the prospects that there will be no letting up until after the freeze-up. The largest of these outfits, so we are told, is located in the vicinity of Algonquin, where the machine is being kept at work both day and night. However, the greatest activity along this line of work, especially during the past year or more, has been in the vicinity of Grass lake, where a number of new channels have been opened In new subdivisions. Besides the digging of new channels the cleaning up of shore lines along the lakes as well as Fox river has been quite general. As stated in these columns on various occasions in the past, the real boom in the sale of lakes and river property is yet to come. It is only started. Five more years will make a vast difference. HALLOWVEN PARTY AT RINGWOOD OCT. SI Patrons of the place are assured of one grand time at Smith's hall, Ringwood, next Wednesday evening, Oct. 31, the occasion being a Hollowe'en party. The management is sparing no pains nor expense in an endeavor to make the coming event one of the most pleasant of the kind ever attempted in this section The hall will bear an atmosphere in keeping with the spirit of the season, the Fox River Five of McHenry will provide the music and a good lunch will be served. Dance tickets, $1.00; war tax, 10c; total, $1.10. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to attend./' SURPRISED ON 42ND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Knox were very pleasantly surprised at their home on Waukegan street last Friday evening, Oct. 19, when their eight children and eight grandchildren came to remind them it was their wedding anniversary. The evening was spent at music, dancing and stunts by the little folks, after which an oyster supper was enjoyed. The "bride and groom" of forty-two years were then toasted, and happy events in the lives of the elders woe recalled, after which they departed for their various homes, hoping that all would be with them to. help celebrate their fiftieth anniversary. $14,000 Bp ISSUE 10 COME UP FOR VOTE HERE ON NOVEMBER » 5mm VOTERS ALSO CALLED UPON TO ELECT CITY OFFICIALS AT THAT TIME4 The voters of the city will be given an opportunity of expressing themselves on two very important questions and also electing city officials at a special election to be held on Tuesday, Nov. 20. The two questions which are to come up for a vote will be that of road improvement and fire apparatus. It has been proposed \>y the city council to ask the voters of McHenry to express themselves in reference to the floating of a $14,000 bond issue, onehalf of which is to be set aside for the improvement and maintenance of our streets and the other half for the purchase of fire fighting apparatus and the building of a shelter for same. On the same day city officers are also to be elected. • It is our understanding that rqany of the voters of the city are perfectly satisfied to allow the present office holders to complete the present year, which ends on May 1, 1924, altho the race is free for all. Whether or not all of the present officers will consent to become candidates we are unable to say, but, in view of the fact that the time for filing petitions is very short, it will not be long before the voters will know just who's who. The officers to be elected are mayor, six aldermen, city clerk and city treasurer. In view of the fact that the city has not as yet been divided into wards, the manner of electing the officers will be the same as in previous elections, only that the men can be picked from any section <ff the city regardless of the side of town in which they reside. As stated above, The Plaindealer does not anticipate a competitive election at this time nor do we believe that it would ber fo the best to have such a condition arise on Nov. 20. In fairness to the men who have looked after the city's affairs since last spring, it is only right that they complete the year and it is our hope that all of these men will consent to have their names appear upon the ballots and that they will all be returned to the respective offices they now hold. Shortly after the coming election the board will get together and work out a scheme whereby the city will be divided into wards and everything gotten in readiness so that next spring's election may be carried out under the city plan. The $14,000 bond issue is very certain to create a great amount of interest between now and election day and, while we have heard arguments for as well as against the proposition, it is rather hard to determine which way the election will go in this respect. That McHenry is sadly in heed of better streets as well as fire fighting apparatus cannot be denied, but whether or not the voters will favor this issue on Nov. SO is a matter of conjecture. Those favoring the bond issue declare that the property owners of this city are entitled to the protection which up-to-date fire apparatus will provide and also that the traveling public should be given better streets in passing thru our city. The bond issue, they further say, is a very small item as compared with the great benefits to be derived. ^ On the other hand there are those who feel that it is up to the sewer contractor to replace our street in the same condition in which they were found before operations were started on this improvement, that the trenches should be given more time in which to settle before spending a great amount of money on the improvement of street intersections and that suitable fire fighting apparatus can be purchased without the floating of ft bond. There are always two sides to all questions and as the election is nearly a month off the voters are given plenty of time to turn the matter over in their own minds before being asked to express themselves at the polls. # Official notifications of the election and the bond issue appear elsewhere in issue of Hie Plaindealer. Read them over. DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA TO SPONSOR DANCE LEGION ELECTS NEW OFFICERS AT BANQU&ET AND MEETING • ^^ELD THURSDAY NIGHT If the enthusiasm as displayed by the local world war vets who gathered for a banquet and meeting at Karls' cafe last Thursday night may be taken as a criterion, the re-organized Ameriean Legion post of this city will hereafter be a most active body. Altho the rain kept many from attending the "doings" last^ Thursday evening, those who did turn out were treated to an exceptionally fine spread, while the business session and election of offices which followed awakened an interest sl& never before shown among the World war vets of this community. The new officers elected are as follows: Commander, Wm. H. Althoff; vice commander, John A. Bolger; second vice commander, William Bickler; finance officer, Albert M. Barbian; sergeant at arms, Jos. Weber; chaplain, Floyd Cooley. Raymond Powers was appointed adjutant. Another meeting and banquet Will take place at the McHenry House on Thursday evening, Nov. 1, at which time a number of matters of interest to members will come up for discussion. All members are urgently asked to turn out at this meeting. The membership of the past, up to the time of re-organization, was sixtyfive. Altho the new year will start on Nov. 1 these members will be given until the first of the year to pay in their annual dues of $3.00. Up to the present time there have been no post dues, altho it is understood that this question is very likely to come up for discussion at an early date. It will be the aim of the new officers to make the re-organized post one of the most substantial in McHenry county. An invitation will be extended to every World war veteran of this community to become a member and thus share the benefits to be derived thru this splendid organisation. FORMAL "OPENING OF SPRING GROVE BANK Approximately five hundred Invitations have been issued for the formal opening of the new home of the Spring Grove State bank, which is to take place next Saturday, Oct. 27. The new banking house is probably one of the finest to be found in any town the size of Spring Grove. It is modernly equipped, including a large vault with safety deposit boxes, and in every other manner portrays modern banking. The officers and directors of the institution are justly proud of their new home and anticipate many visitors next Saturday. The reception hours will be from 1:00 to 3:00 o'clock. A number of local people who are financially interested in the institution will be present at thft formal opening. . • NEW fiURCTRICAL SHOP IS NOW OPEN OPERA DELjGMTS 200 GOUNOD'S FAUST ADMIRABLY * PRESENTED HERE The new electrical shop conducted by Walter Carey and James Doherty was opened in the M. M. Niesen building on Green street the latter part of last week. Altho their stock isn't as complete as they hope to have it within the course of the next month or two, the display is quite varied and includes many of the new appliances as known to the electrical world. The young men report more work than they had anticipated and are doing everything within their means to give the public the very best of service. Among the big contracts they expect to complete are the rewiring of the Wm. Pries building and the wiring of the new community high school building.

As a matter of fact, a tournament between players of the east and west sides of town is now being arranged and, according to plana, the big doings are scheduled to start next Sonday afternoon. FIRS* OPPORTUNITY FOR lie HENRY PEOPLE TO HEAR GRAND OPERA AT.HOME On four days' notice and without the usual advertising material but small financial results could be looked for from the performance of Gounod's Faust last Saturday evening at St. Patrick's hall. However, the unlooked for happened and an audience of almost two hundred music lovers were given the unusual privilege of hearing a fine representation of grand opera in their own community. The opera was somewhat late in starting, owing to the unavoidable delay of some members of the cast in arriving at the hall, but this only served to augment the attitude of expectancy on the part of the audience. The cast was as follows: Marguerite, a village maid (- Ethel Harrison Valentine, her brother Pietro Soldano Seibel, a boy friend Estelle Engler Martha, a neighbor... .Estelle Engler Faust, a philosopher.Ferdinand Zegel Mephistopheles... .Frederick Taggart Musical director.. .Margory Morrison The entire opera of five acts was given, of necessity omitting the chorus and orchestra. Accompaniment of the opera was on the piano and very capably done by Miss Morrison. The voices of the singers were individually and collectively excellent. Mr. Zegel as Faust filled the part admirably, being the possessor of t lyric tenor voice of very pleasing quality and ample power. He sang the aria, "AH Hail Thou Dwelling," very well and his concerted parts with the other singers was altogether satisfactory. The Marguerite of Miss Harrison was especially fine. She had a very appealing presence and gave a splendid rendering of "The Jewel Song." The closing scene with Faust also was brilliantly performed. Miss Engler had a double role and excelled in each. Her singing of The Flower Song was charming. Soldano made an impressive Valentine and sang his role with distinction and dramatic power. The Mephistopheles of Mi*. Taggart was magificant both in voice and acting. All told the opera was excellently performed and highly appreciated by the audience. Were it not for the exceptional terms given by the Redpath Bureau of Chicago to the Rev. M. J. McEvoy such an opportunity as was enjoyed by our community would never have been offered for the ordinary terms would have been far beyond the means at the disposal of any organisation in a town like McHenry. As it was, probably without precedent in a small community, it was given without financial loss and with enhanced prestige to the musical enterprise of the city. It will be interesting to note that the* name of one of the artists sounded very familiar to an interested auditor, Miss Maud Curr, and Investigation disclosed the fact that Mr. Taggart's family lived in the very same part of Europe from which she came. In response to an invitation from , Mr. Taggart she called at the J us ten hotel on Sunday afternoon, when old times and familiar friends were recalled. ENJOYED BIRTHDAY DINNER LAST SUNDAY A PRETTY CHURGH WEDPING TOOK PLACE AT ST. MA WEDNESDAY MORNING Before an exceptionally large gathering of relatives and friends at St. Mary's Catholic church in this city on Wednesday morning of this week the marriage of Miss Margaret Freund and Mr- Anton J. Schmitt took place, the service having been conducted by Rev. Chas. S. Nix. The bridal pair had as their attendants Miss Margaret Freund, a cousin of tiie bride, who acted as maid of honor; Miss Elsie Smith, an intimate friend of the bride, as bridesmaid and Joseph M. Schmitt, a brother of the groom, as best mr.n. Little Elseda Freund, a niece of the bride, acted as flower girl. To the strains of a wedding march very capably rendered by the church organist, Sister Cantia, the bridal party slowly marched from the vestibule of the church up the center aisle to the foot of the altar, where the ceremony took place. The bride, wearing a gown of white charmouse and georgette trimmed in pearls, presented a pretty picture. Her veil with wreath set with yrhite pearls completed her head dress. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and valley lilies. The maid of honor's dress was of coral crepe de chine and her head band was of the same color. She carried pink roses. The bridesmaid wore coral French crepe and Spanish lace over satin with head band to match. She carried pink roses. The little flower girl wore a dress of pink silk net over pink silk. She carried a bouquet of valley lilies.

In the evening a wedding dance, attended by a large number of young people, was held at Jonas' hall, Johnsburg^ The bride of this happy union is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Freund, who reside east of this city. She is a most pleasing young woman and her modest disposition has won her the high esteem of scores of friends. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John M.
