LEASES PLACE FOB TEKN Of FIVE YEAMS. Buch's summer resort, hotel and uffet, wJHqh for many years has held a place high among McHenry's hostel- ries, will soon be under new manage­ ment. according to information now at hand. John,J. Buch, the present owner of the property and "who during the past twenty-three years has had charge of the plac^ has made arrangements with the Peter Schoenhoefen Brewing company of Chicago whereby that con­ cern will soon become the lessees of the property . We are to id thatr the Chicago con­ cern has leased the-property for a term of five years and that a competent man will j/be placed here to manage the affaijrs of the place for the brewery. Just how soon the lessees will take possession has not been definitely de­ cided as yet, altho it does not appear as tho they would take holjl until the first of May of next yelfr, at which time saloon licenses are granted by the village. The Buch resort has been one of the popular places in McHenry for many years and even before Mr. Buch came inlp possession , of the property the hatel had a reputation among resorters Xnd the traveling public as-being one of the most desirable stopping places along Fox river. Mr. Buch had been otfrser and proprietor of the place sinoe August 5, 1890, and during all these years the place has received ft very liberal patronage. Mr. Buch has not determined as to his future plahs, but, in view Of the fact that he has been in the harness for so many years, it looks like he will take p. good rest before again resum­ ing activity in the business world.

A wedding of a fciost simple nature and witnessed by only the members of the immediate families of the bride and groom and a few friends was sol­ emnized at St. Mary's Catjiolie church here at two o'clock on Wednesday aft­ ernoon of this weak. Rev. A. Rojrer, pastor of the church, was the officiat­ ing clergyman. The principals of this happy union were Miss Clara A. Justen and Mr. Henry Heimer. The couple was at­ tended by Miss Kathryn Buch, a cousin of the .bride, and Jos. Heimer, brother of the groom. The bride^was dressed in a blue suit and wore a large black hat. No flowers were used. She car­ ried a prayer book. The bridesmaid also wore a blue suit and large hat. After the ceremony the couple were driven to the home of the bride's par­ ents, where they remained just long enough to receive congratulations. They were then driven to North Crys­ tal Lake, where they boaided a train for Janeaville, Wis., where they are now visiting at the home of the groom's brother. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Justen, esteemed Titiie&s .of this village. She is a young lady pJfi pleasing personalities which have w^n for her the admiration of a ,HluTtitude of warm personal friends. She has1' always resided in McHenry and her many friends extend their wishes for a long and joyous matri­ monial life. The groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Math. Heimer of this place. He is a genial sort of a fellow who shares the friendship of hundreds in McHenry and vicinity. Until a short time ago he was employed in the buffet at Buch's summer resort. He has several good jobs in view at this time, but has not accepted any as yet. The couple will make their home with the groom's parents for the time being, where they will be at home to their friends after December 1.

The oouple was attended by Miss Liaaie Freund, niece of the groom; Miss Susie Miohels, sister of the bride; Lonnie Miohels, brother of the bride, and Kdward Smith, brother of the groom. Little Olive Schaefer, cousin of the bride, acted as flower girl. The bride looked very pretty, being gowned in wnite satin with allover lace. She wore the customary veil fastened with lilies of the valley, while in her hand she carried a prayer book. She also wore a corsage bouquet of white carnations. The bridesmaids wore dresses of yellow silk voile, while in their hair they wore silver bands. They carried crysanthemums. The flower girl was dressed in orange color marquisette and carried bridal roses. The ceremony was one of the prettiest seen in Johnsburg in some time. A reception was tendered the couple at the home of the groom's father, which was attended by nearly three hundred relatives and friends. The house dee- orations were in orange and white. 'The couple received many beautiful gifts thruout the day* The bride i,s the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe- J. Miohels of Johns­ burg. 3he is a youAg woman of a pleas- i.ng personality and has many friends. She has always made Johnsburg her homet where she was born and grew to womanhood. The groom is the fourth son of Frank Smith of Johnsburg. He is a wide­ awake and enterprising young man with a bright future before him. He was for some time connected with the firm of J. C. Debrecht & Co. at Johns­ burg, being a member of the firm up EMTOR'S OPINION ON THE CHICAGO STOCK SHOW BEGINS NOVEMBER 90. WHICH Mr. W. R. Goodwin, managing editor of the Breeders' Gazette, Chicago, in speaking of the International Live Stock exposition, which will this year be held from Nov. 30 to Dec. 7, said: "I have seen more of the great stock*^ shows and fairs in America in the past thirty years than any other man, and I ought to be somewhat case-hardened; but the "International" annually fills me with awe. I approach each exhibi­ tion of the consummate triumph of the breeder's art with a fairly reverent mind. A man may become indifferent to the roar of Niagara, but I do not see how any man can fail to find new instruction and inspiration in each of these shows. If I were wholly a stock farmer, as I am partly, I would sacri­ fice much rather than miss an annual trip to the "International." The pro­ fessional breeder may about as well take down his sign as omit this show from his year's program, and the stock farmer can gather almost as much of value from a study of its lessons. We must have meat to eat. The jaw of the civilized world rises and falls in tb.e^mastication of meat. The farmer of America--chiefly the farmer of the corn belt--must make this meat. He can learn more about its production at this great exposition than at any farmer's institute or special stock train that ever offered information. The stock farmer who works his brain as well as his body can make no more profitable investment than a study of the exhibits of the "International"-- the cattle, horses, sheep and swine. The farmers of no other nation have such opportunities. There is only one "International" on the globe. Amer­ ican stock farmers have built it. Their fellows should appreciate its lessons i«hd learn them." Music dome cents; THANKSGIVING MASQUE DANCE. A masque dance will take place at the Central opera house on Wednesday evening of next week and a cordial in­ vitation is extended to everyone to be present.
