Dafeetive electric wiring in the garret at the hotel at Nippersink Lodge is said to have been the cause of a small blaze there one evening last week. The fire was put oat before much damage had been done. The new pavilion, located on the Rand road just out of the Wauconda village limits, was opened on Decoration day night. One of the features of the opening was the appearance of the Three Shermans, roller skating experts. Cadets from the Northwestern military and naval academy, located on the shores of Lake Geneva, paraded and gave an exhibition of the equipment a modern military academy should have at Milwaukee, Wis., on Memorial day. The voters in district 32, Lake Villa, recently voted an $8,000 bond issue to raise the necessary funds with which to erect a new school building. The present structure has served the district for nearly a half century and has outlived its usefulness. Hie Sunday passenger train, which operates between Harvard and Kenosha, Wis., on the K. D. division of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, has been reinstated for the summer season. This train operates during the summer season only. The Wm. J. Serpas organization, located at 220 S. State street, Chicago, has purchased eighty-eight acres of lake frontage at Lake Geneva, Wis., and will immediately have same laid out into 196 choice lots. The property was formerly known as the Barr farm. Proceedings against the Libertyville brewery have been brought in the circuit court-, in Lake county as the result of a raid on the plant by Sheriff Ahlstrom and his deputies of Waukegan. The plant was located on a farm owned by Mrs. Mary Malloy and located three miles northeast of Libertyville. The officers seized a large quantity of beer. * Forty-nine students of the Woodstock high school have been practicing regularly with the high school band A junior band of eighteen pieces has also been organized.

A public hearing on the proposed pacing of Main street at Wauconda is scheduled to take place before Judge Persons in the Lake county court at Waukegan on June 14. It is proposed to pave Main street from curb to curb. Rand road passes over that street and as this road already gives the village an eighteen foot cement highway the cost of paving the balance of the street would not be great. In fact, the estimated cost is $26,- 661.22. The McGill Product company, which recently moved its plant from Chicago to Marengo, is getting nicely started in its new location. Already seventeen employes are on the pay roll, altho all of their machinery is not as yet in operation. Just as soon as the balance of the machinery is set in motion more help will be taken on.

The officials of the Wauconda-Palatine Railroad company it is understood, are seriously opposed to the granting of the permits, as they believe that such a service would pmfly injure the business of their company and in time would make it •*_-- j Xa m tn nnatlfllli nmm-r BECOMES BRIDE OF DAYTON MAN MISS FLORENCE KAMHOLZ MARRIED AT WOODSTOCK On Wednesday, June 4, occurred the marriage of Miss Florence Kamholz, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fret!

DEMONSTRATE NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM HERE ITEMS OFJNTERESI AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALEI . REPORTERS DURING WEEK WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING IN THIS VILLAGE AND IMMBBMk ATE VICINITY % I ft \ Messrs. G. C. Prenzler and W. D. Linscott of Chicago were in this city on Wednesday of this week and while here gave one or two private demonstrations of a fire alarm system, the invention of Mr. Linscott. The system is known as the Manor House Signal Service Automatic Fire Alarm and, altho quite new to the world, the invention is almost certain to come into popular use within a short period of time. The system is quite simple and works to perfection. During the demonstration as made in the presence of The Plaindealer editor a small pan was set into a room at the hardware store of M. Engeln A Son, a rag saturated with wood alcohol was then lighted and thrown into the pan and within the remarkable short space of one minute the alarm was automatically set off. By use of the system a fire may be detected within a minute after its origin. The system may also be connected up with a siren for farm use. In order to appreciate the workings of this wonderful system one must see it demonstrated. Before leaving McHenry Messrs. Prenzler and Linscott informed the writer that an effort will be made to arrange with the McHenry Legidn post for a public demonstration during the three days' carnival to be staged in Conway's park, east of Fox river, on July 4, 5 and 6.

Dunnigan Construction company, which has the contract for the building of this stretch of road, has already torn down the cement storage shed on the C. A N.
