W. Freund and their two youngest children met with an accident which might have proven fatal, but, luckily, all escaped serious injuries, although Mr. Freund and his little daughter, Rosina, received a severe shaking up and a few slight bruises. They had just reached the top of Doherty's hill, south of town, when the horse sudden­ ly began to kict[. breaking the thills and harness, and at the same time throwing Mr. Freund and the little girl out of the buggy. Still clinging to the reins after falling, Mr. Frennd was dragged several feet before he was forced to let go of the reins. The horse gave one or two more kicks and, sooner than it takes to tell it, had freed itself from the vehicle, leaving Mrs. Freund and the baby in the buggy, unhurt but badly frightened. Mr. and Mrs. Freund and the children were at once brought back to town, where the injured were cared for by Drs. Fegers. The little girl was up and around<• the next day, her injuries proving very slight, but Mr. Freund is nursing a very sore hip and side, but it is thought he will be around again in a few days. How Mrs. Freund and the baby escaped without a scratch or being thrown out remains a miracle. "Jlmmlc" Cook • Widower. .

A Miscellaneous Assortment of Mm Items In Condensed Form For Couven ience of Busy People. The village of Richmond is planning to install a gas plant. Elgin is planning on another street carnival this summer. A nest of ten young Wolves was re­ cently found near Sycamore. 7 Aurora is to have a monster Fourth of July celebration this year. Two fleshy English Prairie girls walk threS miles each evening to reduce The Knickerbocker ice house on Loon Lake, with its contents, 60,000 tons of ice, was consumed by fire one day re­ cently. It is estimated that about 800 Elgin people will camp out in tents on Fox river between Elgin and Dundee this summer. Residences that in the aggregation will cost over $1,000;000 will be com­ pleted on the shoreB of Lake Geneva before the middle of May. The Harvard school board has en­ gaged the services of R. G. Jones as superintendent for another year, in­ creasing his salary to $1,500. Three of the most valuable deer of the Lord's Park zoo, Elgin, were killed by dogs one day last week, while sever­ al others were more or less injured. Eagle L«ake, Wis., is to be opeued as a summer resort Already several of Chicago's wealthy citizens have pur­ chased lots around the lake and will build at once. The mayor of Genoa and a minister of the same place recently engaged in a fist fight. An attack upon the ihayor's administration by the minister brought on the encounter. , Floyd Monroe, one of the best known farmers-of Gurnee, 111., committed sui­ cide one morning recently by placing the muzzle of a rifle in his mouth and pulling the trigger. Marengo cannot be beaten by any town in the connty or state when it comes to an old time assessor. For for ty years Geo. D. Belden has served as assessor for that town.

The Woodstock Sentinel is now the proud possessor of a Mergenthaler, Jr., linotype machine, the second machine of this kind to be biought to McHenry county. The Nunda He$pM" was the first paper to install Bucb a machine. "Hasel," the sweet girl's father called gently from above stairs. "Xes. father. What is it?" she answered through the midnight stillness. "Just tell your young man to be careful not to trip over the morning's milk when he goes out" Seventeen employes of the Borden factory at HeWon walked out Wednes­ day morning, demanding more piy. The boys had been receiving $1.50 per day, but asked to be raised to $1.75. They went back to work the following morning, a raise being assured. The Richmond Gazette is thirty years old and by present indications it will live to see thirty more years. The new owners, Walsh & Scott, have improved the paper wonderfully sin.ee taking hold some time since. Both are practical newspaper men and most worthy of the success with which they are meeting. An Irishman was up for examination to become a police officer. After the usual questions had been asked and answered satisfactorily, and the chief asked him what steps be would take if stationed at the chutes and a lion broke loose among the people, Pat scratched his head for a minute and then said: "Well, they'd 'lie"long ones, I'm thinking." Mrs. Wedderly--"Doctor, I wish you would fix up a strengthening tonic for my husband. -He's rapidly going into a decline." Doctor--"Why, I saw him this morning and he appeared to be all right." Mrs. Wedderly--"Well, be isn't, just the same. Why, during our courtship two years ago he used to hold me on his lap by the hour, and now it tires him to hold the baby five minutes." Jos.

G, ShmsHia PUSH Away After a 8hort ri'.. ' Illness. Benson Sherman, a member of the town board, died at his home in McHenry Thursday, May 3, 1906. Although of failing health for some time, he was confined to the house only two days be­ fore his death. His sudden dissolution came-onexpected to all who knew him and wae a great shock to his near friends and relatives. He was born in the vicini­ ty of McHenry Oct 11, 1867, and, with the exception of four years engaged in mercantile business at Wauconda, 111., his life was mostly spent on the farm. Mr. Sherman was a member of both the Modern Woodman and the Royal Neighbors. While he made no outward pretentions of religion and its claims, those who were closely associated with him in business relations and obligations of responsibility, found him possessed with a deep sense of r.ght and honesty. He was married to Miss Nina Morris in 1890. This union was blessed with one daughter, Villa. As a husband and father he was exemplary in character and his place in home relations will ap pear an aching void to those who make up that home and give discontent to their hearts. "For the heart that loves is not contcpt llow well (Soe'er the loved one be, ;.i M To have him happy far-away £%',i \ Hut. cries I want him still with me. "Thus pleads t he heart that t>od has made; We cannot blame what He hitsfciveo; For heaven without lovecould not bijf-\- j And. having love, the earth is beay|pit . ).'• , "Since love is all the joy of life,?

Besides his wife and daughter, two sisters, Mrs. N. D. Stevens of Ringwood and Mrs. C. H. Synder of Woodstock, and many relatives and friends mourn his departure. The funeral was held at the deceased's home on Sunday at 1 p. m. in the pres­ ence of a large concourse of people, Rev. Arthur Roberts, of tbe Universal- ist church, conducted the services. Mrs. J. J. Reser and Mrs. W. F. Gallaher sang touching selections. The floral tributes were beautiful. The remains were con­ veyed to the Woodland cemetery, where the Woodman rendered most appropri­ ately the last sad rites. CARD OF THANKS. I wish in this way to express my deep and sincere appreciation to the many neighbors and friends who have, dur­ ing the recent bereavment. rendered me so much help and sympathy. ' MRS.

Qnlgley of Chicago Preached an Kloqueut Sermon Before Nearly Three Hundred People. The Months' Mind for the late Rev. P. M. O'Neill was celebrated at St. Pat­ rick's Catholic church, in this village, at 11:00 o'clock Wednesday morning. The edifice , was packed to. its utmost capacity, it being estimated that nearly three hundred people were in attend­ ance. Had the church been twice its size it is doubtful whether it would have been able to accommodate the multitude that would have assembled. As it was, hundreds were forced to stay away on account of the accommodations. The Archbishop. Bishop Muldoon, and a large number of visiting clergymeu were met at the 10:17 train by carriages and taken direct to St Patrick's church. On account ot a few difficulties the services were delayed until nearly eleven o'clock, the ceremonies lasting about two and one-half hours. The doorway of the church was draped in black as was also the interior of the edifice, 'the ceremonies were opened with a death chant, in which the entire company of priests took i»art, which was followed by Archbishop Quigley's sermon, the sermon taking up fully an hour's time. Archbishop Quigley, who has spoken before hundreds of gatherings of this kind, on this occassiou spoke largely upon "The Life of a Priest." He opened his speech by expressing his sin­ cere regret upon not being able to be present at the funeral services ot the beloved pastor, tbe late Rev. P. M. O'Neill. His death coming during one of the most sacred weeks known to the Catholic faith madeitutterly impossible for him to be here. Among other things the speaker announced himself happy to see so many present. He told in a force­ ful and most impressive way the great andcontinuous worry each and every good priest is under, and bow hard the priest must labor to keep bis congrega­ tion in his fold. The good work of the deceased pastor, for thirty years the head of St. Patrick's church, was also given due credit, while every other point covering the life and work of a priest was given in an eloquent man­ ner. The Plaindealer would like to give its readers Archbishop Quigley's speech in full, but time and space will not permit us to do so. Those who heard the oration will never regret it, as it was one of the best, if not the best, heard here for a kng, long time. Immediately at the conclusion of the oration Pontiticial mass was served, in which Bishop P. J. Mqldoon of Chicago was celebrant with Rev.R J. Saddlier ot Battle Creek, Mich., acting as deacon and Rev. E. Cobb of Rockville, Ind., sub deacon, The mass was celebrated in a solemn, impressive manner.. All the plans and arrangements for the eveut were perfected by Rev. P. Bourke, who took up his duties as pastor of St. Patrick's church in this village about three weeks ago. Rey. Bourke has devoted much of his time during the past week in bringing forth the cele bration of the Month's Mind and to him much credit is due for the good work h9 has already accomplished. The deed has made the pastor many warm friepis in McHenry who fully appreciate his good work. The following priests were present at the celebration. Revs. H. O'Gara Mc- Shane, B. P. Murray, Thos. Burke, J. J. Oregon, W. Shea, J. J. Green, T. O'Shea, M. Hennessy, M. Fennessy, of Chicago; J. A. Solon. DeKalb, 111.; M. S. Gil- martin, Woodstock; M. J. Mars)Is, Kan­ kakee 111.; S.

The card party given by the St. Clara Court of Lady Foresters of St. Mary's"" churcb, was attended by about one hundred and twenty five people and the evening proved a most enjoyable one for those present There were twenty tables occupied by aspirants for tbe prizes which were offered, all being b$nt on winning the greatest number of games. After the usual number of games had been played it was fonnd the first honors went to Miss Eleanor McGee for the'ladies and Jos. N. Miller for the gents, while the booby prizes were won with ease by Mrs. George Henry and Ed. Sutton. The first prize consisted of a beautiful salad dish for the ladv and a cigar jar with stag cover for the gent. The booby prizes wejre a colored doll for tbe lady and Mr. Sutton was showing a cradle with a pair of dolls as his reward. At the close of the game refreshments were severed, after which an hour was spent in dancing. The party swelled the ladi<Bs' trerasnry to the extent of about $30 and they feel very grateful to tbe public for its patronage. • MONTHLY PROCEEDINGS.
