TO THE VOTERS OF M'HENRY COUNTY. Having been urged by many old friends throughout the County (not politicians however), to become a candidate for the office of COUNTY JUDGE, and having no time, money or disposition to work es­ pecially for the nomination for the can­ didacy at the hands of conventions, and knowing that ther e are already three men who have been hustling for theendorsment of one Convention for a year or more, (they are all good fellows,) and believing that in this "Off Year" is a good time for the people to have something to say in the selection of a man who shall fill that Most Responsible Position, and knowing that I have many friends in the County who deem me worthy of that high honor, and feeling that if any one has any claims on that office, the friends that I have gained during a residence of forty-six years in this County, will be able to find out what mine are. I announce my­ self candidate for that office. I shall be S-eatful for the endorsement of my iends, whether assembled in caucuses, or Conventions or otherwise: and will be a itiindidate (providencepermiting), till the . fwtes are counted. M. F.

GILBERT & SULLIVAN'S latestand great­ est comic opera, "The Gondoliers," will begin an engagement at the Chicago Opera House on thefirst Monday in May. Since its engagement in Chicago, "The Gondoliers" has had a triumphal tour of all the principal cities in America, and everywhere it has been pronounce*} the most tuneful and the most amusing comic opera seen up to date. The man­ ner of its presentation by Mr. Hender­ son's company has also been highly com­ mended, the scenery and costumes hav­ ing been spoken of as unprecedented in their magnifieencp. The company now contains some of the most popular artists in light opera, each having been selected with a view to his or her especial fitness for the character. The chorus will be especially augmented for the Chicago engagement, and will number fifty picked voices, so that Sir Arthur Sollivan's beautiful chorus music will have proper rendition. This will be the last oppor­ tunity of seeing "The Gondoliers," at least for some time. Orders for reserved seats which may be received by mall will receive prompt attention.

WYCKOFF, pastor of the Methodist Church at Kimball, Dakota, is alleged to have used language unbe­ coming a minister of the Gospel to cer­ tain female members of his congregation and has been asked to resign. Rev. Wyckoff was formerly pastor Of the M. E. Church, in this village. A NEW comedy called "The Editor" is to be brought out. The author intended to call it "The Millionaire," but he dis­ covered that a comedy bearing that title was already in existence. "The Editor" ought to be a right good play. He may not be annoyed by" the devil," but he may ".catch it" from the critics. THERE will be a Grand Opening Banquet and pall, at the Parker House, in this village, on Thursday evening, May 15th. An orchestra of seven pieces will be in at­ tendance and mine host Parker and his estimable lady will leave nothing undone to make this the event of the season Remember the date, May 15th.

The Superintendent, Isaac Wentworth, in­ forms us that they have made large con­ tracts for the coming season, and will run the yard to its fullest capacity. The reputation of the McHenry Brick is such that they have hard work to meet the demand. That they are far the best Brick made in Northern Illinois is a cou- j,eeded fact. \THE men who advertise are the men Who are doing the most to boom their town. The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "It is not an unfrequent Occurrence for business men to either come to the Inter Ocean exchange room or send for ex­ changes for the sole purpose of studying the life and enterprise of various towns in their territory, which they judge by the advertisingcolumnsand appearances of the locial press. In these days a town without advertisers is dead, no matter what the resources are, and the man who attempts to earry on a business without advertising is but a sorry specimen of an energetic business man." ONLY a tew more performances' remain to be given of the very, successful bur­ lesque "The Seven Ages," whffii is being presented by Mr. Henry E. Dixey, and his excellent company at the Chicago Operg/House. Mr. Dixey and "The Seven Ages" have made an immense hft, and PARKER & DERMONT is the naTne of the* "standing room only" has been the rule barns, who have just opened with new horses, new carriages, new harness, and are turning onit some of the finest rigs to be found in McHenry County. With everything new, clean and stylish, fine single and double driving horses, we pre­ dict they will do a large an4 paying business. * ; A < H E- Woodstock Item firm t SAY*: "News was received here on Wednesday of the shooting and instant death of Edward D. Murphy, the day before at a little Vil­ lage near Helena, Montana. Particulars are meagre, except that the shooting occurred during an altercation with a man relative tt> an insult given by Mur­ phy to a restaurant waitress." He was a son of the late Judge T. D. Murphy, and formerly resided in Woodstock. z The School Election. The election for one School Director for this District took place at the City Hall on Saturday afternoon last and proved the most exciting election of the season. One hundred and ninety-nine votes were polled, and resulted as follows r J. Van Slyke received 118 votes. E. J. Hanly " 81 " Vent- ^ J av • T Pe SLADE sends the following to be inserted in the PLAINDEALER. MR. EDITOR.--I would be glad to meet all my friends, and all citizens of to make it digestible. The author Should Mcftwrry; so far as it shall please them to favor me with their attendance, at the Universalist church next Sunday morn­ ing. April 27'th, at quarter before 11 o'clock, if the weather shall be favorable enough to admit of it. If not 1 will post­ pone the service to some future occasion of which due notice will be given. I have something of more than usual interest to the |>eople of McHenry to talk about, and would like to get a hearing of the general public. Can you find place in your paper for paying as much, and Tory much oblige Yours, H.SLAME. THERE are men Who stand in the. way pf every contemplated improvement and cry "taxes" at every proposition. They have no public spirit, and are out of place in a village of any size, and should move to a cross-road village where they can feast their unprogressive soul in the contemplation of the solitary blacksmith and wagon shop, flanked by the general store and post office. Village life means activity and improvements. These ad­ vantages cannot be had and enjoyed for nothing any more than home conven­ iences can be bought without money. The PLAINDEALER asserts that there is nothing that affords more pleasure, com­ fort or convenience at so little cost as PHblic improvements. \V ^ F DIED, at McHenry, 111., April 16, 1890, ^he usual amount of first-class storys Mrs. Patrick Phalin, aged 75 years. and other literature provided in every number of thi remarkable voluminous and entertaining magazine. The subject of the above notice was born in Ireland, having«emigrated here in 1853. With her husband she settled at McHenry, where she resided up .to the time of her death. Just one year had elapsed since the death of her husband when she was called to join him. She was a woman highly respected by all who knew her. Her life was one of honesty and industry, combined with Christian virtues. In her home she was a devoted wife and mother, and will be sadly missed. The wife has joined the husband Where patting is no mire. The sister meets the brothers, And loved ones gone before. And ye whose lot it is to moarn, Think what the joy will be, When father and motherand children all Shall meet beyond life's sea. . , MCHENRY, April 21st, 1890. EDITOR PLAINDEALER. ' Deai; Sir.--My attention was called to an article in the Woodstock Sentinel of April l(th, written by Dr. D. C." Green, purporting to be the opinion of a num­ ber of physicians. The reason given for this conference is a case the like of which has never been heard of in this county, reported to Dr. Green and an answer de­ manded by the people for their safety. The question under discussion was, "U there Venom (poison) in the scratch of a oat? " If Dr. Green will give a full report of the discussion with the names of the physicians attending that conference, it would be very interesting reading. Also a history of this particular case, with names of patient and physician, as noth­ ing short of this would be doing justice to the people he seeks to benefi|^, |, v SEEDS! SEEDS!

In ail probability the run of "The Seven Ages" could be extended indefinitely if the theater's other engagements would per­ mit. It has been pronounced far superior to "Adonis," while the company is one of the best ever seen in Chicago in this line of work. Beside Mr. Dixey there are no fewer than six excellent burlesque come­ dians whose efforts to amuse are received nightly with shouts of laughter. Many of the songs sung in the bwlesdue have already become public property and are heard everywhere. There are a large number of beautiful and clever actresses in the company, who are displayed in the most artistic and gorgeous costumes. How much better a smile than a frown; a laugh than a growl. Sunshine pene­ trates far beyond the shadow, always. There is really a vain able lesson in the ALL the late spring-too tfr words of the littehumorist, M. I'. Wilder, who recently said: "1 am a cripple, but 1 never think of my misfortune. Laugh and the world laughs with you. People say, 'how Wilder is ha®dicap|>ed.' I am not handicapped. I don't want sym­ pathy. I never think of my shape. I make $10,000 a year. I make my yearly trip to Europe and have the entree to all the theatres there and in thfs city. I go the theatres three times a week on an average. When I appear at a benefit performance even the actors applaud me / and the stage hands stop work and say, 'Keep quiet, little wilder is on.' When­ ever I go into society it iswame. Why is it? It isn't because it's me. It's because I bring smiles laughter. I neve?.croak. do care for a good laugh. Why, even the criminals on Blackwell's are glad to see me, and although they have sins and trouble enough, they have time to hear a good story, and make the prison rafters ring with laughter."
