Justen, the ceremony having been performed by the pastor, Rev. Edward Berthold. The bride and groom of this happy event, together with their attendants, entered the church to the strains of a wedding march very capably rendered by the church organist, Sister Ancilla. The bridal party stopped at the foot of the altar, where the solemn words were spoken which bound the two for life. The bride never looked prettier. Gowned in a beautiful dress of white charmeuBe with bead trimming and carrying a shower bouquet of bridal toses, while her veil of snowy white hung gracefully over her shoulders, she truly was a picture. The njaid of honor, her sister, Miss Mary Steins- doerfer, wore a dress of accordion pleated yellow chiffon, with lace and satin trimming. She carried yellow roses. The bridesmaids were Miss Ella Hue- mann, an intimate friend of the bride, and Miss Susie Herbes, a niece to the groom. Their gowns were of pink chiffon and pink taffeta, respectively. They carried pink roses. Little Mildred Miller, a niece to the bride, carried the role of flower girl. Her dress was of white crepe de chine with smocking trimming. She carried a basket filled with sweet peas, Little Stephen Bowers, a nephew to the groom, was the ring bearer. He wore a white corded blouse suit and carried the ring upon a beautiful white lily. The bride's dress was made by Mrs. Jos. J. Rothermel, who also prepared her as well as her attendants for the wedding. Frank and John Justen attended the groom. After the ceremony high mass was read, followed with a reception at the home of the groom's parents. The re ception was attended by a large com­ pany of invited relatives and friends. The presents received thruout the day were varied and many in number. The bride of this union is the fourth daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank'Steins- doerfer, who reside east of this village. She has passed practically her whole life in and around McHenry, where she is favorably known to most of our people. She is a member of the River- view Camp, R. N. A., as well as the Sunshine Card club and is popular among the younger set of this village. The groom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Justen «f this vil­ lage. He has always resided in Mc­ Henry and vicinity and enjoys the esteem of everyone who has formed his acquaintance. He is employed at the summer resort conducted by his brother near the river bridge. A wedding dance was enjoyed at Knox's hall last evening, which was attended by a large crowd of the couple's friends residing in and around this village. They will be at home t.o tlu ir friends on and after May 15 in the John Justen cottage on Elm Street. The Aerothrust is a small Aeroplane motor. The 36 inch propel lei1 turns over 2300 per minute. NO. 46 N'HENRY WILL CELEBRATE OUR NATION'S BIRTHDAY ON NON- DAY, JULY S OPENING OF NEW BANK BUILDING The beautiful new West McHenry State bank building will be formally opened to the public on Saturday. May 15, at which time the public is invited to call and inspect the bank's new home. For the convenience of those who cannot get to town during the day, the place will be kept open until eight o'clock that evening. Souvenirs will be given away on that day. The Plaindealer expects to give a complete description of the new structure in next week's issue. BIG EVENT TO BE HELD UNDFR AUSPICES OF ST. MARY'S CHURCH BISHOP MUL- BOON MAY SPEAK McHenry will celebrate the Fourth of July. This was decided at a meet­ ing of^the parishioners of St. Mary's Catholic church held at St, Mary's parochial schoolhou6e last Sunday aft­ ernoon. The Fourth this 'year falls* on Sun­ day and, following the custom of long standing, our nation's birthday will be celebrated on the following day, Mon­ day, July 5. It is the intention of St. Mary's con­ gregation to hold a rousing old-time celebration, the proceeds of which will go into the church treasury. This does not mean that they expect to make the celebration an admission affair Nay, never. The parishioners propose to take charge of the big event and hold same in oiir public park. They will erect stands and possibly a dancing platform and in this manner they hope to raise a neat sum for the church. At the meeting held last Sunday it was suggested to invite the business men of McHenry to co-operate with them in the scheme and with their united efforts, it was declared, the event would terminate into one of the biggest and most successful of the kind ever attempted in Mclleijlry. McHenry has not had a celebration in many years and at the meeting last Sunday it was decided that it was time for another grand old celebration. Those who attended the meeting ap peared very enthusiastic over the prop­ osition $nd now that it has been decid­ ed to celebrate the various committees will be kept busy in planning and ar­ ranging for the big day. Rev. Edward Berthold believes that he may be able to induce Bishop Mul- doon of Rockford to be here on that day and make the principal address. Other good speakers will also take part in the day's program. An effort will also be made to get the business men interested in a big industrial parade. This, it is hoped, will be the feature attraction, and if every business man, or at least the majority of them, will consent to take part in the parade, the committee will go ahead and make arrangements for such an attraction. In view, of the fact that many of the business men are owners of automobiles, machines may be put to use to very good advantage. One of the first things'that the com­ mittee will do is to engage a first-class band, as without music a Fourth of July celebration cannot be made a suc­ cess. Sports and games will also be pro­ vided and, in short, everything will be placed upon the day's program that will attract one of the biggest crowds that ever gathered within the limits of our village. The various committees are now be­ ing named and, as previously stated, there will be nothing but action from now until the day of the celebration. Let che people fn the surrounding towns know that McHenry will cele­ brate and ask them to be our guests on that day. In other words, BE A FOURTH OF JULY BOOSTER FOR McHENRY. MCHENRY'S SOCIETY -Seclal Wheel The Social Wheel met at the church parlors Saturday afternoon, May I. The entertaining features of the after­ noon's program were readings by Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Ferguson, while Mrs. D. G. Nell is assisted in making the occasion one of enjoyment by contributing a vocal solo. There was informal music and jollification. The meeting closed with a basket, lunch. The next meeting will be with Mrs. M. L. Ott on Friday afternoon, May 14. Tli* LMMNDM Eight The Lonesome Eight held a most delightful meeting at the home of Miss Clara Schiessle on Friday afternoon of last week.

DO IMC BIG BUSINESS F. J. Von Fishman, manager of the Kimball piano store in this village, in­ forms us that he is doing an excep­ tionally. big business. New sales are being m&de"almost daily. Last week he delivered two players, one each to Mr. Esh of Spring Grove and Martin Young of Solon. He also reports a number of sales in the vicinity of Wau- conda. _ LOOKS LIKE TEAM We are told that a sufficient amount of money has been subscribed and is now being collected for the purpose of giving McHenry another first-class team. Owing to the fact that Manager Richard B. Walsh is out of town, we are unable to give his .plans in this week's issue, but hope to give the fans something definite by next week. VISIT THE PISH HATCHERY A special train carried a company of Illinois senators and representatives to Spring Grove Monday morning of this week, where they inspected the state fish hatchery. They were met at Spring Grove by Superintendent E. L. Hayes of this village, who has charge of the hatchery. Gov. Dunne was also expected to be present, but owing to the illness of his wife he was unable to make the trip. The distinguished visitors were very much interested in the hatchery and from remarks made it will not surprise us to see the hatch­ ery enlarged in another year. At the present time the hatchery contains over 12,000,000 fish and as many or more eggs ready to hatch. BORDEN CHANGES While the new milk inspector and foreman of the bottling department has not as yet been named, most of the changes at Borden's milk plant here have been made. F. M. Risley has taken charge of the factory at Cary, while John Pufahl, who for four years has been the superintendent at Hebron, succeeds Mr. Risley here. F. V.Cobb, who wals scheduled to go to the Ma­ rengo plant, goes to Hebron instead and enters u|>on his new duties today. Clarence Robb of Hebron is here to take Mr. Cobb's place. CONFIRMATION CLASS A class for confirmation has been organized at St. Mary's church here and instructions are being given on Wednesday and Sunday evenings of each week**. Eighty-one are already enrolled in the class. Confirmation will likely take place the latter part of June or fore part of July. FRANCISCAN FATHER HERE Rev. Henry Kuester, O. F. M., Fran­ ciscan Father, is at St. Mary's church, assisting in the establishment of a con­ fraternity of Christian Mothers. He gave a splendid talk to the ladies of the parish this morning.

A-book of foreign words and phrases is a new addition in Miss Small's room purchased from income of fines on library books. The experiments that the chemistry class is performing must be tierrible judging from the terrible oders that reach us upstairs. Those pupils, who are having week's vecation now, will have our sympathy that hot week in June, when they take their semester tests. Spring The breezes soft are blowing, The sun is big and bright; The fields are full of flowers, And every heart is light. The.little birds are singing, Up in the tree-tops high, And all the streams are brimming o'er, And bright blue is the sky. Anemones and violets, Of yellow, blue, and white, Are blooming in the shady woods, Ah! Spring is very bright. And, sometimes, rain is falling, From out the bright, spring sky; And Robin Redbreast's building, His little nest on high. MABEL E. KRUMPEN.

BY ORDKR OP VILLAGE BOARD. IRISH LADS DEFEAT SPRING GROVE In a slow and uninteresting game the Irish Athletic club baseball team of Irish Prairie defeated the Spring Grove team last Sunday by the score of 16 to 7. 300 BEAUTIFUL CARBONS AND PHOTO­ GRAVURES WILL BE SHOWN AT THE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM ON MAY 12 TO IS Alma-Tadema has been called "the painter of human incident in all ages and places." Born in Holland, that little country that has given to the world so many masters of art, he early showed his ability by correcting at the age of five, an error of a drawing master and by painting his sister's por­ trait, a worthy composition, at the age of iifteen. Until the age of thirty-five, Alma- Tadema lived in Holland and Belgium, where he seems to have met with little favorable recognition, although some of his greatest pictures were painted during this period. After his removal to England, however, he be­ came immensely popular, his portraits meeting with immediate sale at ex­ traordinary prices both in England and America. The principal pictures of Alma- Tadema may be divided into three classes -Frankish, Egyptian, Creek and Roman. Intensely attracted and affected by the splendor of the ancient civilizations at their height, this feel­ ing permeates all his works and finds its most thorough expression in de­ picting the life of ancient Greece and Rome, which he treated in all its phases. A reading from Homer is one of the most celebrated of this type in which the artist has intensified his love of the mellow atmosphere and luxurious life of the early days around the Aegean Sea. One is at once impressed by the compelling beauty of expression of the reader and his audience. The reader, probably a wandering bard, is crowned with laurel, his attitude tense with the absorbing interest of his tale. Thor­ oughly entranced his hearers recline, intent on the musical phrases of the poet. The beautiful setting of the foreground, the glimpse of the blue sea, and the stretch of sandy beach beyond form an idyllic representation of exquisite beauty. This picture painted in the remarkably short time of two months, wastirst hung in Bur­ lington House Exhibition of 1885, creating a profound sensation in the art world. The canvas has changed hands several times and is now in a private gallery in the United Suites. A beautiful carbon photograph of this picture, from an original negative, will be shown, together with two hun­ dred other reproductions of the great masterpieces of architecture, sculpture and painting at the Elson art exhibi­ tion to be held at the school auditor ium, May 12 to 15. This is for a worthy cause--school­ room decoration. The collection of pictures is the finest of its kind ever gathered together, and has the un­ qualified endorsement of school author­ ities aud educators. Nearly every gallery and country in the world would have to be visited to see the original subjects. You help the schools to buy pictures for their walls by your patronage as all the money raised will be spent for that purpose.
