MARY*S Impressive Ceremonies Draw Large Crowds During the Three Days Exceptional weather favored St. Mary's again "for the impressive observance of a three day adoration, which is , customary in Catholic churches once a year. Gorgeous and tasteful decorations, executed by the school sisters, gave the interior of the church an air of unusual festivity. An immense garland of oak leaves draped the sanctuary and numerous plants and cut flowers sent by the generous people of St. Mary's gave the church a grander appearance than on dedication day. The solemn opening of the unique festivity took place Sunday morning, when three priests officiated at 10:15. Rev. Father Duerr of Spring Grove, retired, was celebrant of the mass. He was assisted by the reverend pastor as sUb-deacon and a redemptorist father as deacon. The eloquent sermons delivered during this three day festivity were given by the Very Rev. Daniel Higgins, C.

James Casey of Woodstock Represents Petition Signers The public, hearing on the sewerage improvement for the village of McHenry, as called by the board of local improvements, was held at the Empire theatre on Tuesday afternoon of this week and, while no final disposition of the question was made at the time, it looks very much as if the improvement will come. The meeting was called to order by Atty. A. H. Pouse, who briefly exr plained the purpose of same and thence went on to say that the improvement and its individual cost to the property owner had been, in some cases, misrepresented. He stated further that he had been informed that some of the property owners who signed the petition had been told that the improvement would cost them from $300 to $600. This, the attorney added, was all guess work on the part of those circulating such reports and the troth would be brought out during the afternoon and that the people could then best decide whether or not they wanted the improvement. The chairman of the meeting next called upon the engineer, a Mr. Wells, a young and likeable looking chap, who briefly gave an outline as to what sort of a sewer would be put in, the pipes to be used, the purification system and everything connected with same. Before concluding his remarks he told that the proposed system has the sai\ption of the state board and that the. citisens could rest assured of a perfect system which complied with every detail of the law when once installed. Next in order to be called on was Emil Arnold of the McHenry County Abstract company of Woodstock, who explained the system used in spreading a special assessment of this sort. The idea, according to Mr. Arnold, is to equalize the assessment and make it fair to everyone. Thus the assessments will be spread according to the benefit derived. According to the county seat gent, the proposed system will cover 47,000 lineal feet and as the pipes are to be laid thru the ceqter of the street property owners on either side of the street would share the cost together, thus bringing the cost to each lot owner, according to the estimate, at about $1.00 per foot. He added further that he was quite assured that the cost, in any case, would not go over $100 per lot. The assessment would be spread over a period of ten years, giving the property owner the option of paying it all at one time or on the installment plan, thus making it comparatively easy for those who could not afford to pay all of it at once. The installment plan could be adopted at the rate of five per cent interest. Atty. Casey of Woodstock, who appeared as a representative of those who signed the petition asking the board to defer the installation of the proposed improvement, was next to talk and he was interrupted so often that for a time it twas hard to hear just what was being said. In presenting the petition Mr. Knox, one of the members of the local board, asked the speaker if he would vouch for the names on the petition having been secured without misrepresentation of facts. Mr. Casey remarked that he had taken it for granted that the signers were obtained in an honorable manner. After this things began to gfet mighty interesting and there were so many talking at one time that it was entirely difficult for The Plaindealer scribe to follow the argument. After some minutes, however, the storm subsided and from then to the close of the meeting those who were called upon to talk did so in a calm and composed manner. From all indications those at. tiie meeting who opposed the improvement were in the minority and when Atty. Pouse called for a standing vote of those who' were opposed to such improvement only four arose, and thus the meeting was called to adjourn. Immediately after the meeting the members of the board of local improvements got together and set Tuesday of next week, Oct. 21, as their next meeting date, at which time, it is expected, some definite conclusion will be reached. * K. OF C. RENT CENTRAL Birthday Surprise The West Side ladies' band surprised Mrs. Elizabeth Buss at her home on Waukegan street on Thursday evening of last week, the occasion being her birthday anniversary The evening was spent at singing, dancing and games. The band, composed of madolins, zither harps, kazoos, horns, cowbells ayl tinpan drums, played all the latest jazz music. After presenting Mrs. Buss with a birthday gift and the serving of a sunntoifliit gnesto 4et parted. :rr~7^ Local Fraternal Order to Mere to New Quarters Soon The Central opera house has been rented by the local council, Knights of Columbus, who expect to move in* to the new quarters next month. This news was made public the first of the week, when the work of gei ting the place in readiness for tlS new tenants was started. There are a number of much needed repairs and some changes to be made before the Knights move and with the hope of having the place ready for occupancy by the first of the month workmen are now busily engaged in the place. Among the most needed improvements to be made at this time is the re-calcimining of the entire hall, a changing of the electric lighting system and a general cleaning. John Freund, who has been awarded the contract of calcimining the hall, started work this week and informed a reporter to The Plaindealer that he expected to finish up the job within two weeks. A partition is to be built along the entire width of the balcony, which will give the council excellent club room quarters, and will also be amply large for meetings when found necessary to hold them there. The council, as announced in these columns some weeks ago, has outgrown its present quarters in the Chicago telephone exchange building and for some weeks past a committee, appointed for the purpose, has been on the look-out for quarters that would best suit their present day needs. After looking over various places about town, the committee finally arrived at a decision to rent the Central and negotiations for the place were at once begun, with the result that the deal has now been effected. The McHenry council is the largest in the county and one of the largest small town organizations of tye kind in the state, and to give its members adequate room for the holding of meetings and social functions larger tuarters were found necessary. The members are highly pleased over the decision of the committee as they are now assured of greater social activity than has ever before been enjoyed. We are informed that number of social affairs for the winter months are already planned and, while no definite program has been arranged, we feel safe in predicting some exceptionally fine times for the members and their families in the future. With a seating capacity of about four hundred, together with the stage, there will, no doubt, be some home talent productions and other various forms of entertainment staged during the winter. Then, too, the floor will be put back in good condition for dancing and those who enjoy this form of amusement are also given assurance of some fine dancing parties ip the time to come. All in all, it looks to us like a very sensible move and one which will never be regretted by the members and their families. Triple Drowning at Elgin A triple drowning occurred in Fox river at Elgin last Sunday afternoon, when a canoe in which the victims were riding capsized. The victims of the sad fatality were Misses Hazel and Marjorie Landis, sisters, aged sixteen and eighteen years, and Edwin Howard, aged sixteen, son of Mrs. Florence Howard, a former McHenry resident. The fourth member of the party, Edmund Grote, saved his life by swimming to shore. The drowning occurred at a place known as the "Carrie Clark Death Hole," about twenty feet from the pumping station pier. Mr. Howard is survived by his mother and one sister. The drowning of Sunday marks the fifth death in the Howard family since moving to Elgin from this vUlage. Robert Howard, uncle of the young man who was drowned last Sunday, passed away in October, 1914. His father, Lon Howard, died in August, 1916. In June, 1917, Mrs. Mary Howard an aunt, and wife of Robert Howard, and her son, Lloyd, were fatally injured in an automobile accident, Mrs. Howard being killed instantly, while her son died six weeks later at Sherman hospital. In the same accident Mrs. Florence Howard, widow of Lon, sustained a fractured limb and was confined in a hospital for two months.
