He ia a young man highly respected in Mc- | Henry, his old home, and is sure to make Vhifl. mark in his chosen calling. . Read his card in another column. SEVERAL \yeeks since the PLAINDEALEB mailed bills to a large number of its patrons who were from one to four years behind in the payment of their subscrip­ tions, only a few of whom have respond­ ed. Now if such as have not responded find their bills left for collection they , must blame themselves, not us, as we cannot live and run business on air. AN exchange truthfully remarks: If a doctor makes a mistake he buries it; if a merchant maks a mistake he never tells it; if a lawyer makes a mistake he crawls out of it; if an editor makes a mistake he puts it upon a large sheet of paper for the world to look at, and in every com P. munity there are cranks who think they are models of wisdom because they occa­ sionally discover them and for a week keep their jaws wagging about their as­ tute wisdom.

TICKETS have been issued for an Easter Monday party, at the Riverside House, in this village, Monday evening, April 18. Smith's Orchestra will furnish the music and a good old-fashioned time may be expected. A MINISTER annoyed by tobacco chew ing, thus spoke to his congregation: "Take your quid of tobacco out of your mouth on entering the house of God, and gently lay it on the outer edge of the sidewalk or on the fence. It will positive­ ly be there when you go out, for a rat won't take it, a cat won't take it, a dog won't take it, neither will a hog; you are certain of your quid when you go after it. Not the filthiest vermin on earth would touch it." MR. DAVID HENDERSON'S nextsummer's spectacle at the Chicago Opera House will be by far the most elaborate that that enterprising manager has yet given the enthusiastic summer patrons of Chi­ cago's mascot theatre. "Ali Baba, or Morgiana and the Forty Thieves" is the title, and the old Arabian Night's story from which the idea is taken, offers ample opportunity for the most sumptuous splendor of costuming, scenery, armor, ballets and musical effects. The Ameri­ can Extravaganza Company is already in primary rehearsal. /THE Riverside House, in this village, which by the way is one of the best Ho­ tels in the Northwest, has been undergo­ ing thorough repairs for the spring, and has been repainted and papered from top to bottom. Besides this landlord Story finished off several more suits of rooms, aud can now accommodate families or single boarders in the best of style and is eure to please all. When making up your plans to give yourself and family a summer vacation, bear in mind that there is no better Hotel than the Riverside House, and to better place than McHenry. ' A PHILOSOPHER of modern times de­ clares, apropos of the woman question that there are but three classes of women in the world. The first are those who rave over a love erf a bonnet. These have a keen perception of the artistic, could pose as models and have in them the elements of old maids and woman's rights. The second are those who go in£o conniptions over a fat baby. They can write charming poetry and make de­ lightful wives. The third are those who revel in something good to eat. They make splendid housewives, and never fail to reach the heart of man through his Stomach. Town Xeetlny. / The Town Meeting in McHenry, on 'Tuesday was conducted in a very quiet manner under the new law, and we think to the entire satisfaction of the people. There were two tickets in the field, namely, the Peoples Ticket asd Demo­ cratic Ticket. Four hundred and eight votes were polled, resulting in the elec­ tion of ths Peoples Ticket entire as follows: FOR TOWN CLERK. > « Charles H. Granger .............235 Geo. W.

Our citizens will be pleased to learn that tie society of Willing Workers have arranged with the celebrated artists, Chas. Guinness and Miss Donna Carlisle to give a grand literary, dramatic and musical entertainment, at the City Hall, Wednesday evening, April 13. A share of the proceeds to be donated to the fund of the Willing Workers. Our citizens certainly manifest their appreciation of a good cause and a fine entertainment, by a, liberal patronage. The fallowing speaks for itself. The New York Clipper of May 9,1891 says: "Chas. Guinness, since 1871, has appeared in 1,538 differ­ ent cities aiid towns in the United States and Canada. This is a record to be proud of." Mr. Guinness is a member of the G. A. R. and served in the 17th 111. Cavalry. Miss Carlisle is considered the finest singer that ever visited this section. See smalL bills for particulars. A CALIFORNIA paper takes this view of "lovely women." She jumps on a chair, holds her pitticoat around her legs and yells like a small cyclone at the sight of a mouse. But she runs up three Sights of stairs in a burning building to rescue another woman's baby. She's afraid of a book agent in broad daylight, yet pis­ tol in hand follows a burglar at mid­ night. She cowers if the furniture creaks and is a lioness if a drunken man assaults the front door. She tells tales out of school, is first to do a kindness to the woman she has talked about. She steals a car ride with crystal conscience if the conductor forgets her fare, and then opens her purse to its widest to help a man out of a tight corner. She haggle** at a remnant counter for herself, and then triples tbe money on flannels for her washwomen's sick boy. Proceedings of the Board of Trustees. MCHENRY, 111., April 4th, 1892.

EDITOR PLAISDEALEU:--At the Maren­ go Farmer's i'lub, which met with Mr. and Mi-s. L Barber last week, the subject under discussion was roads. I would not think, in the present condition of them, it would take long to decide whether an improvement were needed, or still con­ tinue to plough through mud up to the hubs. H. F. St. John and John D. Yarmond have opened a real estate office here. There are under consideration a good m ny deals and transfers. Onr editor and wife have just returned from Centerville, Iowa, where they were called to see a very sick daughter, Mrs. & M. Crego. Their many friendft wish her a speedy recovery. Richard Seward, son of E. Seward and brother of Dr. Belle Seward, is at the Hanehmann hospital, Chicago, for treat­ ment. He will shortly returned much benefitted. Had I the time, were this the place, I would like to tell how Dr. Sew­ ard, by self denial and grit, has attained to present success. I am sure it would encourage many a yonug women who is aspiring to be an M. D. Geo. Kiddle, the reader, says the secret of success is "to have ability, and then, have the ability to know how to nse it, also--never get mad." Dr. F. L. Mott has been quite sick, Is now improving, and his many friends are hopeful soon to see his pleasant face, and hear the genial laugh which is so charm­ ing to one in the doldrums. Miss Carrie Smith, daughter of P. B. Smith, has been at De Feniek, F!a , this winter, is now in New Orleans, and soon will be with old friends in Marengo. Prof. Hart and wife, spent last weeks vacation with Algonquin friends. Miss McKee visited the World's Fair city. Last Wednesday evening the cheese box factory of Frank Rogers had a nar­ row escape from being burned up. By strict attention to the business on hand, nothing serious came of it. The white ribbon ladies celebrated their ninth anniversary with Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Treat. They had a delightful evening. These women are doing a good work in Marengo. How much they have accom­ plished in the last year I can tell you in my next. Vice President of the Women's Colum­ bian Exposition Club, at Marengo, Mrs A. K. Parkhurst. She is just the woman for it. i do not think we have a fully equipped and official club now, but soon will have. When the appropriation is made for our new government building, we can be as stiff-necked as a Pharisee, with that bran-new post-office. 1 suppose then our- courteous P. M. will pull teeth for noth- ing. The Salvation Army came here on Sat­ urday, held a meeting in the evening, one yesterday afternoon and one last night. A few years ago we scouted at their methods, and now the verdict is that by these same methods is the only way of reaching the great unwashed. They are doing a great work where other men and women have failed. At last "the tide has turned" in Ma­ rengo affairs, and we are to have a stove factory, located on the Carpenter place, north of, and near the rail road. By the first of April work commences on the buildings. When completed, the Grunbe Bros will employ two hundred men, and increase perhaps to four hundred. The stock has all been taken. $50,000, f 12,000 more called for but could not be supplied That this large business means a great deal for Marengo, "goes without saying." It will change this place beyond the wildest dreams of the oldest inhabtants, and most venerable and barnacled moss- back. it will take more thar, one clam shell to scrape off the lichens and fungus from some peoples' eye lashes, that .could not see a thing in, and now are in the condition of Lots wife--cot left. If the belt line railroad passes through DeKalb, we are in the circle, anb it is to be hoped this chance will not be lost. It will bring us lumber and coal direct from mill and mine much cheaj>er than we get them now, besides opening up direct com­ munication with the large towns of the northwest without first going to Chicago and crawfish on a nearly paralel road to where we started from J. 1. Vail and family, long residents of Marengo, have moved to Sandwich. They will be missed. Mrs. Vail has been one of our'"sweet singers" and not only made herself beloved by her musical voice, but by her willingness to sinbe it by the sick bed, in the house of mourning, at the bribal or at the tomb. Who says Marengo is" not bobming. Tbe hens are crowing and some even lay­ ing two eggs a day. We havethe weather signals and a weather man, F. S Rogers. Property rapidly increasing in value and many sales made. The greatest interest is now felt in the selling of building lots by the Syndicate. The spencer farm near the village is to be laid out in lots selling for $250 each, the buyer getting one hundred dollars in stock, in the stove factory. F. F, Blocker, of Elgin, has opened a new Photograph gallery. His work is highly spoken of. He is a fine artist and good musician. I. N. Gill, a leading jeweler, has moved into Bloodgoods store. He has put in fine show cases and a large stock of beautiful new goods. Is agent also for the Esty organ and pianos. W. H. Hutchinson the wide awake groceryman, has moved his stock into the store formerly occupied by I. A Read, and has very nice first class grocery store. Smith and Neal are making improve­ ments in their store, making more room, for more goods, so it will be, more people more money. •> I close by quoting from the Republican: "We wish to remark in chorus with our esteemed contemporaries, that 'spring plowinghascommenced.'"
