FIRE AT FOX LAKE ROX LAKE HOTEL BURNED T»FRBTTM)IN MONDAY MORNING Fox Lake was visited by one of its worst fires fearly last Monday morning, when the Fox Lake hotel, situated a short distance north of the Mineola, was burned to the ground. As a result of the fire one man lost his life and another was quite painfully burned and bruised. The man to give up his life was Peter Dechane, who during the past five years has worked at this popular resort and. in fact, made the place his permanent home. The fire, which was discovered by employes at the hotel, was caused from a defective chimney and started in the kitchen of the hotel. The discovery was made about 7:30 o'clock. Mr. De­ chane ran thru the building and aroused the guests, about forty in num­ ber. Volunteers as well as the Fox Lake fire department were soon on the scene, but in spite of their efforts the building was not to be saved.. How­ ever, most of the furniture was carried out. During the excitement and his anxi­ ety to save the guests and their be­ longings the fire victim had entirely forgotten all about his own personal effects and it was not until the building was enwrapped in flames that he re­ membered his trunk, which contained his life savings. No sooner had the thought entered his mind before he was on his way to his room, located on the third fioor of the hostelry. His son, Joe, who was staying at the hotel at the time, followed after him. Joe had reached the top of the stairway and was just about to enter his father's room when the roof caved in. He fell down the stairway and was picked up in a semi-conscious condition. Only the charred bones of the hero were found in the ruins. The hotel was built quite a number of years ago and was one of the oldest places on the lake. During the past several years it was conducted by A. C. Born, one of the best hotel men in the lake region. The loss is esti­ mated at $16,000. It was only par­ tially covered by insurance. Peter Dechane was a highly re- spectet&taan and was dearly beloved by the'people of Fox Lake as well as the hundreds of resorters who visited the hotel in recent years. His wife passed away several years ago. He leaves three sons and one daughter, all of whom reside in Chicago. His remains, or rather his bones, were shipped to Chicago on Wednes day, where the funeral services and interment took place. OCCURRED' 'HERE (AST TWRS&AY AFTERNOON WAS LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF MCHENRY TOWNSHIP--EMPLOYED AT BORDEN'S 10 YEARS "THE GIRL YOU COULDN'T BUY The Sherman-Kelly Co., which gave such a splendid performance of "The Love Trail" last Sunday evening at the opera house, will return again next Sunday night, offering "The Girl You Couldn't Buy," which is described as one of those good old fashioned melo­ dramas that keeps an audience spell bound from the rise of the first act curtain until the last curtain is rung down. A goodly portion of clean legitimate comedy is found all'through the bill. A pretty story of heart interest is interwoven in the plot and last, but not least, thrilling .climaxs, mark the end of each act. All in all it is one of those kind of plays that never fail to please each and every olass of player goers and to add < merit to the already high class production that will be offered. Some new .novel and up to the minute vaudeville specialties are to be introduced be­ tween the acts. The Sherman-Kelly company carry special scenery for each and every play that they present and in producing "The Girl You Couldn't Buy" the management has spared neither time nor expense in .making the offering one that is bound to give universal satisfaction. It is advisable to secure your reserved seats as soon as possible, for standing room only is bound to be at a premium. VOTE NEXT MONDAY The election of circuit judges only comes onoe in six years.

Frost of Rock- ford, and Clajre C. Edwards of Wau- kegan, the three'sitting circuit judges, are the regular Republican nominees and should be re-elected along with the present supreme court justice, James H. Cartwright.

Schneider, who has- made this village and the immediate vicinity his home during his entire life, passed away at his late home on Court street at 3:15 o'clock last Thursday after­ noon. The deceased suffered a stroke of paralysis on Monday afternoon of last week $nd this was the direct cause of his death. Mr. Schneider had been ailing since last winter and on several different occasions he was forced to take a lay­ off from his work at Borden's factory, where he has been employed during the past ten years. Acting upon the advice of the family physician he asked for an indetinite lay-off from his work and thi$. was granted him a few weeks ago. The rest seemed to be doing him much good. So encouraged was he that only ^ couple of weeks before his death he expressed his desire to go back to his post and he had surely hoped to return before the summer was over. But this was not to be. After the dinner meal ori Monday of last week he went to his room for a short nap and it was whita there that he was stricken. From that time on he failed rapidly and in spite of everything that could be done he passed peacefully away on the date above mentioned. The subject of this sketch was born on the old Schneider homestead, short distance northeast of the Fox river bridge, on Oct. 21, 1862. Here he was raised and grew to manhood, fie assisted his parents on the farm un til he reached his majority, after which he worked on several different farms in this vicinity. On Jan. 24, 1884, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Weingart the ceremony having been performed at St. John's Catholic church at Johns burgh by the late Rev. H. Mehring. After his marriage he with his wife went to housekeeping in this village where he has resided continually ever since. For twenty-three years he made his home in the house where he passed away. Mr. Schneider was always looked up­ on as one of McHenry's Very tjest citi zens. Industry and honesty marked his life's history and being what one might term a home man, he was never more content then when in his home and with his family. Besides a grief stricken wife, he leaves two sons, William S. and Anton J.; also an aged mother and three brothers, Anton, Joseph and Jacob, all of whom reside in this village. A large circle of friends and acquaintance are also left to mourn. The funeral took ^>lace from St, Mary's Catholic church at 2:30 o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Edward Berthold performing the last sad rites. The church was crowded to the doors with relatives and friends, who had come to pay their last respects to a good man. The Borden workmen, some of whom had worked with the deceased during the past ten years, turned out in a body. The floral contributions were many. The remains were laid at rest in the family lot ip St. Mary's cemetery. / The many friends of the family ex­ tend to them their heartfelt sympathy in this, their untimely as well as un expected loss. CARD OP THANKS We take this manner of expressing our thanks and appreciation for the many kind deeds and words of sympa­ thy extending usduring the last illness and after the death of our beloved husband and father. Especially do we wish to thank the employes of Borden's factory, who turned out at the funeral. MRS. ELIZABETH SCHNEIDER AND SONS. SCHOLARS. TEACHERS.

Wells has in his posession a couple of blue prints of the proposed now front for the village power house. The prints were prepared by one of the Terra Cotta draftsmen. The price of the proposed front is $1,000 and from current re­ ports it is estimated that the entire improvement, which would give the village one of the best little municipal buildings in the county, would not cost over $2,000. The matter will be brought up before the next regular meeting of the village board, which will be held next Monday night. SOCIAL WHEEL Mrs. Clara Starritt was hostess to the members of the Social Wheel Thursday afternoon, May 27. The afternoon was spent in a pleasant manner with the usual guessing con­ tests, Mrs. Milton Ott and Mrs D. G. Nellis guessing the largest number correctly.

Leave orders for tuning at the Kimball piano store, McHenry, 111. 5t* - -- - As advertised in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, the athletes of the McHenry high school, both boys and girls, were treated to a chicken dinner at the school house on Tuesday even­ ing of this week. The event was planned and given under the direction of the McHenry board of education and was given to show honor to the boys and girls who represented our school in athletics dur­ ing the school year just ending. ° The dinner was served on long tables in the laboratory room. Seated at the tables, besides the athletes, were the members of the board of education, the superintendent and teachers of the school and the two speakers, Hon. Geo. W. Conn of Woodstock and Supt. Thos. Jordan of Union. The dinner was prepared by Mes- dames Elizabeth Laures and John Niesen and wasone of the finest spreads ever served in connection with any school event. Six high school girls did the serving. Superintendent of Schools Prof. A. E. Nye acted as toastmaster and car­ ried the role in his usual pleasing manner. Mr. Conn spoke along the line of school work in general as well as the physical development which is attained thru the sports as now carried on by the various schools of the county. He congratulated the successful ath­ letes of our school and encouraged them to greater things. Mr. Jordan, who was present as a guest only and not a speaker, responded when called upon with remarks that just fit the occasion. The diners then left the tables to mingle with the crowd which had gathered in the auditorium. Here Mr. Conn also gave one of his splendid talks, which was highly enjoyed by everyone present. After this a few hours were spent at dancing, Wynkoop's orchestra of Wood­ stock furnishing the music. K. or C.

He is delighted with their presence, as "they are the only women he evs* met that did,not loathe spiders," but his mother, fearing that Anthony will marry Peggy, does everthing in her power to keep Anthony out of Peggy's way. With this intention Lady Crackenthorpe and her brother scheme to have Jimmy, another son of Lady Crackenthorpe's, make love to Peggy and in this way distract her attention from Anthony. Jimmy agrees to this, but finds that he truly loves Peggy and proposes to her. She does not ac­ cept. A little later Jimmy is surprised to find Peggy in his apartments and hears that people believQ them to be married. Peggy finds that she has com­ plicated matters and gottgi^ Jimmy into trouble, so decides to contradict the paragraph in the paper, which announced their marriage. To do this would be a scandal and disgrace to the family, so Lady Crackenthorpe and Major Phipps try bo persuade her to marry Jimmy, but she refuses, thinking Jiqamy does not care for her. After many misunderstandings, both find that they are in love with each other ana all is well.

Mr. Waite's niece, Miss Clara Wi girt man, arrived here from her home at Glencoe last Saturday even­ ing, but did not reveal the secret of any other members of the family to come later. On Sunday morning two automobiles stopped in front of the Waite residence and upon investiga­ tion Mr. Waite and family discovered that relatives had come to pass the day with them. Included in the party were H. E. Wightuian, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wightman, son and daughter, all of Glencoe, 111.; Mrs. A. H. Hill, two sons and daughter of Wilmette, 111.; Mrs. H. J. l'oile, son andx daughter of Wheaton, 111. These, with Miss Clara Wightman, who arrived on Saturday evening, and the Waite family, made up a merry gathering and a most pleasant day was spent by all. The guests brought with them baskets filled with good things to eat and at the dinner hour all sat down to one sumptuous repast. The visitors re­ turned to their homes late in the after­ noon. The day will long be remem­ bered by those present. WILL INITIATE LARGE CLASS The C. O. F. of St. Mary's church are making arrangements for the in­ stallation of a large class of candidates into the order here one week from next Sunday.

The Plain- dealer hopes to give its readers defi­ nite details of this event in next week's issue. LARGE CROWD AT DANCE A large crowd attended the dance given by the Fox River Valley Camp, R. N.

Dady of Waukegan is going to enforce the Sun­ day closing law at Fox Lake and will, if necessary, employ Chicago detec­ tives to procure evidence for him. Miss Irene Reynolds, an opera singer with the Boston Symphony company, visited Richmond a few days recently. The singer, who resides in New York, was on her way to her home from the Panama exposition, where she sang on the opening day. While marching in the procession at Union on Decoration day and playing the bass drum, George Botsford of Marengo dropped down in the road and died before medical aid could reach him. He was a veteran of Co. D, 95th Illinois, and one of the drum corps. Marshal Williams of Richmond took a riding saddle and dog from a band of gypsies which passed thru that village one day recently. The property was stolen from Frank Webster and was taken from one of his wagons while he was moving from Elgin to Delavan, Wis. The Lake Geneva hotel, which since its construction a few years ago has been anything but a paying proposi­ tion, has been purchased by Marggraff & Schorse of Milwaukee, Wis., and was opened for thp season last Sunday. The hotel is belhg conducted on the popular plan. The enterprising citizens of Marengo are making arrangements for a series of open air concerts in their city dur­ ing the summer months. Marengo has a concert orchestra of twenty-five pieces and the citizens hope that money enough may be raised to have this musical organization give them weekly entertainments. Four young men, charged with hav­ ing carried on a systematical robbery of box cars at Rondout, Lake county, were arrested and taken to Waukegan one night last week. Three of the fel­ lows were bound over to the grand jury, while the fourth was set free, as he was not implicated in the robberies.

THEN ROBS THE MAN WHO GAVE HIM EMPLOYMENT A man, giving his name as Julius Kirschner, appeared at the country home of Jacob Weingart l&t Saturday morning and applied for work. Mr. Weingart, being in need of a man, hired him right then and there. Mr. Weingart then left for town with his family and upon their return home made the discovery that the house had been broken into. A search of the home revealed the fact that the in­ truder had taken with him some money and other valuables. Neighbors declare tbat an auto had driven into the Weingart yard while the family was away and the "Supposi­ tion is that the man who applied for the job committed the theft and made good his escape in the machine seen in the yard by the neighbors. Being without the number of the car the chances are that Mr. Weingart will never be able to recover his loss. Riverview Camp, R. N.

GAME NEXT SUNDAY ^Next Sunday the Chicago Whitings will be the attraction at the McHenry baseball park. The Chicago Whitings occupy a high place in the ranks of the semi-pro teams of that city and have played in many of their larger cities in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. Their record thus far this season, as well as that of last, is one that they need not feel ashamed of. That they will give a good account of themselves next Sunday goes without saying. Dillon or Widekind and Siebt will form the battery for the visitors while Sahl- berg or Delehanty and Meyers will do the artillery work for the McHenry crew. As this team is brought to this village under a heavy guarantee it is hoped that'the fans will turn out in numbers next Sunday and thus insure future bookings with teams of this calibre. It was the manager's in­ tention to book the Jake Stahls of Chi­ cago for next Sunday, but on account of unforeseen circumstances the date could not be arranged. However, the manager will make another effort to secure them for a game in the near future. Sunday's game called at 2:30 o'clock. General prices of admission will prevail. The Jacob Justen furniture building and N. H. Petesch drug store building, both owned by the former, are now in the hands of the painters. The old blacksmith shop building, which during the past few years Jias occupied a site on Waukegan street, near the Park hotel, has been raised. All of the lumber from the old vil­ lage hall building has now disappeared and it will not be long before the stone foundation will be a thing of the past. The Decoration day crowd was small in McHenry compared to that of last year. The rain and oold of the paat three weeks undoubtedly kept many away. The windows of the McHenry post^ office have been newly relettered. J. W. Smith was the artist. Mr. Smith is an expert with the brush and . hard to beat. The Rosedale hotel has been rented for the season. A lady from Chicago has already taken charge of the Rlace and hopes to make it one of the most popular places along the river this season.
