Judge Persons and Lew Hendee of Waukegan were the even- " ing's speakers, G. C. Roberts, who conducted a drug store at Wauconda for many years, but who during the past nineteen years has made his home at Maxwell , New Mexico, passed away very sud- , '/£. denly at his late home on April 24.

Over at Marengo a barber shop and beauty parlor is to be opened by Mr. and Mrs. John S. Jones of Elgin. Dennis E. Gibbons, for many years one of the most prominent Democratic politicians in Lake county and three times a member of the Illinois legislature, passed away at his late home at Everett, Lake county, last Friday, aged seventy-eight years. Libertyville will inaugurate a drive at once to raise $50,000 for a $75,000 hospital to be erected in that village. The proposed structure is to be erected as a memorial to Elizabeth Condell, whose will provided for $25,000 for the fund. Samuel Insull has agreed to contribute ten per cent of the amount subscribed by other contributors. Boyd Switzer, a farmer residing in Riley township, McHenry county, was hailed into the McHenry county court at Woodstock one day last week on a charge of obstructing a highway. Judge Barnes, after listening to the evidence, assessed a fine of $50 and costs, but afterwards suspended the fine when the defendant promised to clear the obstruction. Four hundred people attended t; public dancing party as sponsored by the Genoa (111.) chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in that city on a recent evening. A huge red cross suspended from a pole outside the hall lighted the way for the guests, while a moonlight dance, by the aid of a fiery cross -at eleven o'clock proved the big feature of the occasion. Two Klansmen in robes acted as guardians to the electrie lighted insignia. Mrs. Mariam Wright of Lake Villa passed away at her home last Thursday evening following an accident which occurred at Grayslake the preceding Sunday when she was knocked down and bruised by an automobile in the hands of Dr. E. F. Schaefer of the latter named village. The accident was utterly unavoidable and at the time little was thought of the incident as tiie victim was taken to her home seemingly but slightly injured. A new dance pavilion, under con struction for W. O. Winch at Channel Lake, was discovered on fire about six o'clock last Thursday morning. The night's rain and the prompt assistance of the Antioeh fire department probably saved the structure from complete destruction. It is believed that the fire had an incendiary origin. It is a well established fact that a number of the cottage owners around Channel Lake are opposed to the operation of a dance hall there. Quite a large' number of the citizens of Grayslake are all worked up over the prospects of having two or three of the streets in that village paved this summer. of the village council the subject was brought up for general discussion, many of those interested in paving being present at the meeting. Altho nothing definite has been done in this direction, it is quite likely that the board will ask for an estimate on the proposed improvement and then submit it to the property owners for a final decision. It is the opinion of the boosters for the improvement the work should go in while the contractor is at hand as it is only natural to expect a great deal lower figure on the work at this time than to wait. The advantage of having a road contractor at work near the village is a matter that should not be overlooked, say those Kbe the improvement. The "Porfy Prim Tavern** is the name that has been selected for the new road house which is being erected by A- J- Pouliot on his property east of Fox river near this city. Work on the structure, which when completed will be one of the finest'of its kind in these parts, is now being rushed in the hope that everything will be itt'l-eadiness for the grand opening which is scheduled to take place on Thursday evening, May 29. This week workmen are busily engaged in completing the wall decorations t8» conform with the name of the place, while the carpenters are, trimming down the dance floor. The music for the occasion is to be supplied by Frank Gans and his Polly Prim orchestra. Tables for diners will be arranged around the entire dancing space arid it is anticipated that hundreds will turn oat to partake of the opening night's menu, which will include all of (the season's delicacies. The entire arrangement of the place is in strict accordance with modern ideas. The dancing floor is a spacious one, while the lighting system is in perfect harmony with the balance of the settings. Several hundred invitations have been printed and will be sent out for the opening event and the management is planning on entertaining the largest crowd that has ever assembled for a like occasion in McHenry county. DR. MINICK SELLS HIS McHENRY PRACTICE Dr. F.L. Minick,. chiropractor, who has been located in the Brefeld build ing on the West Side during the past nine months or more, this week sold his practice to Dr. S. J. Fowler of Woodstock, who will conduct the McHenry office with that of his Wood stock place. He will be in McHenry on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays of each week and his office hours will be from 10:00 a. m. to 8:00 p. m. Dr. Minick, during the short time he has practiced his profession in this city, has built up a very satisfactory business and is leaving McHenry because of the excellent opening in his home city, Washington, la., where he will practice in the future. Washington is a city of about 8,000 inhabitants and thus offers a much better field than could possibly be expected here. Dr. Minick recommends his successor very highly, feeling confident that he will carry on the work in a manner that will be found very satisfactory to those seeking his services.

All of the indictments, with the exception of the one for' attempted bribery, were signed by Atty. William L. Pierce of Belvidere, who was recently appointed special state's attorney. The one exception was filed by State's Attorney V. S. Lumley. A list of the indictments under the prohibition law and the amount of bond required follows: Jos. J. Mertes, Pistakee Bay, $3,500; Theodore Schiessle, Jr., West McHenry, $2,500; John J. Buch, McHenry, $1,000; Michael L. Worts McHenry, $5,000; Fred Weinschenker, West McHenry, $2,500; E. J.

Violation of the slot machine law was charged to Joe Brown at Spring Grove, whose bond was placed at $2,500, and John A. Engeln, McHenry, bond $5,000. The indicted men were summoned to the court almost all day last Thursday to arrange bond. Their hearings in circuit court are set for next Mon day, May 19. The complaints against the above named men were made by Ira Blackwell of the Lake county sponge squad. The alleged bribery is supposed to have taken place in this city on March 12, 1924, when Mr. Weinschenker is charged with offering a sum of money to Cole Peterson, a deputy sheriff, to refuse to perform his official duty. Peterson being in the act of seizing intoxicating liquors under and by virtue of a warrant. There tfre two counts in the indictment and as a result the defendant was asked to supply extra bond in the sum of $5,000. Following the indictment of John A. Engeln of this city for operating slot machines, the grand jury directed Circuit Clerk Charles F. Hayes to immediacy call attention of the department of agriculture of the state of Illinois to the fact that ^the defendant was indicted for operating slot machines in McHenry county while he was a deputy game warden in the coynty. The jury requested that the department call for the immediate resignation or removal of Mr. Engeln from said office. The cases, which come up for hewing next Monday, are sure to attract a great deal of attention. ROAD WORK REACHES LILY LAKE SCHOOL MIDLAND INDOOR FESTIVAL TO TAKE PLACE AT ST.

Buch block on Riverside Drive, near the bridge, was entered during the early hours of Tuesday morning of last week and relieved of between $2o and $30 in currency and four or five cartons of cigarettes. The theft was not discovered until shortly after the proprietor opened up the place the following morning. It is believed that entrance was gained by a window on the second floor of the building, while exit was made by a rear door, Mr. and Mrs. Karls occupy a sleeping chamber on the east side of the building, separated from the cafe by a hallway, and in view of the fact that they were not awakened seems to indicate that the night worker went about his task most cautiously. Joe Buch and a traveling salesman occu pied bedrooms over the restaurant. The theft was not made public until this week, thus giving local authori ties a chance to follow up clews that had been supplied them, but without results. Since this theft has come to light we are informed that several other minor depredations were committed in that end of town during the past several months. Local talent is suspected. PUBLIC CARD.

M. Grimes, OFFICIALS LEARN OF QUARREL TO HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT INGLESIDE SATURDAY Ingleside has a murder mystery. The body of a man, which was later identified as that of Artie Loeh, a printer, of 4838 Gladys avenue, Chi cago, was found at seven o'clock last Sunday morning by Albert" Boesel and Dr. Albert Willey, a veterinarian. Altho the body was found along the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad tracks, a mile west of the village, the man was not struck by a train, according to an investigation as made by Lake county authorities of Waukegan, who were notified of the finding. Residents of Ingleside discovered a pool of blood in the road near the railroad crossing and a short distance from the depot. The trail of blood led to the tracks and it appeared that the body had been carried by two persons. Spots of Mood were discovered along the tracks at intervals of about 100 yards, indicating that the persons laid the body down occasionally to rest. The body was carried to a small pond near the tracks and there were indications that the persons had wa'shed their hands and clothing before continuing with the human burden. When found the body was lying within a foot or two of the railroad tracks with the head pointing eastward. Coroner J. L. Taylor of Libertyville, who was notified, examined the body and found a fracture in the back of the man's head and a gash over one eye. The blood spots along the track could not have resulted from the dragging of the body if the man had been struck by a train. His clothes were not disarranged as would have been the case had he been dragged by a train. The skull looked as if he had been struck with a club or black jack. Robbery could not have been the motive, however, as $25 in bills and coin were found in the man's pockets when the body was removed to the morgue at Libertyville, where it was identified by the murdered man's sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kennedy of Chicago. Officials working on the case since last Sunday morning have learned that a heated argument took place in an alley back of a lunch room conducted by Mrs. Frances Heyek at Ingleside about 10:30 o'clock on Saturday night. The place in the road where the pool of blood was, discovered is only a short distance from the Heyek place. "* Loeh was a bachelor arid had i cottage at Point Comfort, Fox Lake. Mrs. Kennedy told the authorities that her brother had left Chicago last Saturday afternoon at 1:36 o'clock for Ingleside, where he planned to straighten up the cottage for the summer. One of the keys found in his pocket belonged to a lock on the cottage door. Loeh may have been the victim of a feud involving rum runners, was the theory advanced by Lake county officials. Eight persons, most of them residents of Ingleside, were detained for questioning by State's Attorney Smith of Waukegan on Tuesday. However, those questioned failed to disclose information which might lead to a solution of the murder. MOTHERS' DAY SERVICES .WELL ATTENDED SUNDAY POWDER RIVES" TO BE SHOWN AT EMPIRE MAY M AND 21 BY LEGION POST The l^niversalist church services for Mothers' day proved to be quite a success, both as to attendance program. The members of the Masonic fraternity attended in a body and with the church members and friends filled the building.

Irving Tallmadge, accompanied by Miss Pamela Rietesel, and a tenor solo by Mr. J. M. Grimes. The usuAservices were given over to the eukigizing of the mothers thruout the /land, with other features appropriate to the day. M* LUCKY BALDIN TO BE AT RING WOOD, MAY 21 The McHenry post, No. 491, American Legion, has been more than busy in boosting and advertising their big show, "Powder River," that they will present at the Empire theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, May 20 and 21. Advance press notices claim this to be one of the most thrilling pictures ever shown on the silver screen. Those pictures are the only official films of the holocaust that shook civilization. They are the complete records of every division that saw actual action in France against the Germans. The camera men were members ->f the signal corps and during the taking, the fellows worked under conditions of terror. Whilst the camera quietly clicked, the machine guns and rifle fire played a mad staccato and overhead the big Berthas belched forth death and devastation on Flander's field as shrapnel sang a song of fate. These fearless young Yanks helped record the deeds that made it possible to say "they shall not pass." The battlefields where bloody action raged for days are not the only feature of the film-<-there will be shown wonderful views of the ruined art palaces and rased cathedrals of sanny France. To the average American very little, if any, is known of the photographic section of the signal corps; this unit composed of men who, at the outbreak of the war, left the large moving picture studios of America and went to France attached to the U. S. signal corps, that they may record the many heroic deeds of our gallant men "Over There." This unit of but 478 men made their headquar ters at Vincennes, France, where well equipped laboratories were established; after which the work of securing educational history was begun. Parties of three--usually lieutenant--an expert in photography-- a sergeant and a corporal started out in car with their Stan dard or Pa the cameras and a goodly supply of films, with orders to "shoot" whatever pictures they could of the front lines. No matter under what circumstances these were secured, they were under orders--orders that had to be obeyed. Much of the valor of our boys in France was unnoticed and this applies very much to the men of this unit of the signal corps. The remarkable results of their work is shown in "Powder River," which clearly proves that they constantly risked their lives, that America might see just how our glorious troops turned what seemed certain defeat into a never-to-be-forgotten victory. Records show that many of these heroes--for heroes they truly were-- never returned to Vincennes, because some Hun snipe spotted them crawling out into "No Man's Land" in their endeavor to secure pictures of real action. At the close of the war many thousands of feet of film were brought back to Washington, where they were . stored in steel vaults of the war department. A careful study of these films was made and the very best and clearest "shots" were selected and assembled into "Powder River" and sent out from Washington for the express purpose of being shown to the American people thru the auspices * of veteran organizations. It is not the intention of the war department to show the gruesome side of the war, but for historical, educational and patriotic purposes and also for the veteran organizations that show them. Let us study for a moment the title of this picture-- "Powder River." Let's go, one of our first men who went "Over the Top" and j was Powder River Thompson, a famous cowboy from Montana, and when his company received the word "To Get 'Em" he scrambled over the top uttering the cowboy "whoopee" of "Powder River." came the battle cry of the doughboys when going into action, and when the Germans heard this whoop it was a sign for them to Lit for the tall timbers. So this fitting titla was chosen for this great picture. Lucky Baldin will be at the M. W. A. hall, Ringwood, Wednesday, May 21. Lucky Baldin (C. J. Balfe), once famous underworld character, now chaplain of Chicago prisons, is doing great work for men. Everybody welcome. Admission, free. THREE MASSES ft sr.
