Simes are Nominated for Village Trust­ ees. The village cancus last Saturday brought out about one hundred and six­ ty voters. Although nut quite as excit­ ing as anticipated, the contest for village trustees proved a very closely contested affair. The meeting was called to order at two o'clock by Village Clerk Stoffel, who read the call, immediately after which Simon Stoffel was selected as chairman and F. G. Scbreiner clerk. The nomination of village president and clerk were made by acclamation, theeandidates, John Evanson, for pres­ ident, and John Stoffel, for clerk, hav­ ing no opposition. As the four candi­ dates for village trustees had had their names printed upon one ballot, a mo­ tion was made and carried that the vot­ ing should be by ballot, each voter to indicate his choice of (Candidates by a cross marked before each of theui, the three candidates receiving the^highest number of votes in order of rank to be declared the nominees. A motion was then made and carried that the chair­ man appoint three tellers. The ap­ pointments were: Peter J. Freund, Nic A. Huemann and F. G. Schreiner. The next motion to be made and carried was to the effect that the polls be held open for one hour, after which the voting be­ gan. The results are given below: Wm. Simes 1117 Henry F. Block... 114 B. G Sherman .. ,. 95 C. T. Eldredge. .76 EXCITING TIME AT WOODSTOCK. Over at the county seat last Saturday there was mo:e than a little excitement, the two candidates for mayor being the main cause. F. A. Walters was nom­ inated as candidate foi mayor, defeat­ ing F. A. Sehuett by a majority of 282 votes. The balance of the ticket as nominated is as follows: Clerk, G. W. Leuimers; treasurer, Earl C. Bowers; city attorney, John J. Cooney; alder­ men, James R. Green, S. A. Greenleaf and G. W. Frame. TOWN ELECTION Proves fstos Very Taine A8Ur ia Me. Henry. - AUDIENCE WELL PLEASED With Kntertalnnieut as Given by the Physical Culture Class. The physical culture entertainment presented by the Sunday school classes of the Universalist church at the Central opera honee last Friday evening was greeted by a good sized audience, and all who had the pleasure of attending were highly pleased with the evening's program. The evening's program was opened by a beautiful instrumental duet by the Misses Irene McOmber and Florence Granger. A male quartet, composed of Messrs. Barbian, Frett, Lodtz and Kar- ges, rendered two well received selec­ tions. Miss Irene McOmber's recita­ tion was loudly applauded. It is need- loss for us to say that Miss McOmber's etjUal in this line is hard to find. Miss Etta Simes sang a very pretty solo, she also receiving her full share of applause. The vitlin eolo by E. B. Perkins was so ably rendered and so well received by the audience that he was forced to re­ spond to the never ceasing applause. The physical culture and Indian club swinging classes, under the supervision of Mrs. A. Roberts, went through the various drills without a hitch, showing that the little folks had given this work careful attention for the short time they bad been training. The real hit of the evening Was made by the little folks participating in the "Tom Thumb Wedding." The scene was a pretty one, the little tots showing well in their conventional costumes In short, every number of the pro­ gram was excellent The proceeds for the evening were nearly sixty dollars. By request of many of our citizens and outsiders the entertainment will be re peated Easter week. Definite date will be publish Id n6xt wdek. Tax Bookit All In. All the tax books of the varions towns of the county have been returned by the collectors to the county seat. The town of Dorr turned in the largest amount, while Burton foots the list. We give below a list of the taxes levied and the amounts retnrned delinquent by towns. The annual town election Tuesday was a very tame affair, the straight ticket being elected. Although there was no opposition on the ticket, a num­ ber of the friends of E. E B&ssett, who made such a close run for collector at the town caucus, got together and began to plug hard for that gentleman's elec tion. Of course, as soon as the Niesen supporters heard of this there was in­ creased activity on their side, but aside from this the whole affair was tame. The following is the result of the vot­ ing of both the McHenry and Ring- wood precincts: McHenry Ringwood L a d d . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 0 8 . . . . . . Harmsen....... > .

Stephenson... 178 Sixteen ballots were thrown out, seven bearing no mark whatever, and the remainder being marked incorrectly. The seven unmarked ballots were un­ doubtedly meant to be voted straight, but in accordance with law' they were not counted. The rehiainder were mostly intended for Bassett, as Niesen's name was cancelled and Bassett's sub­ stituted. But the voter failed to mark the necessary cross in the square op­ posite the name and the votes were valid. This again shows that it is necessary for, and the duty of every legal voter to present himself at the polls on election day and cast his vote, whether or not there is more than one ticket in the field, and cast his vote for whomsoever he chooses, whether his choice is printed on the ballot or not,-so the law tells ns. So bear in mind, vot­ ers, that it is your duty, if possible, to go to the polls on election day and cast your vote. WILL HAVE TEAM.

The McHenry High School alumni will meet at Miss Elsie Howe's on Sat­ urday evening, April 8, at 7:30, to elect officers and discuss any other busi­ ness that may come before the meeting/ Every member is urged to be present. Mildred R. Stevens, president; Elsie M. Howe, secretary. I Spring Term. The spring term of school opens Mon­ day, April 10, at which time parents having children who are six years old, or will be six years old before Septem­ ber, are requested to enter them. The annual tneetingand election of officers of the McHenry Base Ball asso­ ciation was held at the Plaindealer office last Monday evening, and as a result McHenry has promise of a team for the present season as good or better than last year's team. The team will be win posted of the best material that can be produced in and around McHenry. Everyone knows that this means a fast team. McHenry knows that with the proper amount of. encouragement she is able to pnt upon the base ball diamond nine men whom it is very hard for country teams to de­ feat. Although starting the season last year with afvery dull outlook our boys made a record-breaking finish, winning the last six games played. Last season's record for the McHenry team was as follows: Games played, 14; games won. 9; games lost, 5. The list of victories includes the Reds, Woodstock's favorite team, who are considered the cham­ pions of McHenry county. Although the McHenry team will line up in its first game this season with a number of new players the team prom­ ises to keep up last year's *fine records, and with the proper enconragementwill do even better than that. Among last season's players who will not appear in the line-up this year are Zimmermann, the crack little first baseman; Walsh, pitcher and fielder, who last year made an excellent record for himself; Waite, the fast outfielder, who headed the bat­ ting list last season; Bending,, the crack twirler, and Matthews, outfielder. Their places on the team have, with two or three exceptions, already been filled and the manager will have the vacant po­ sitions filled soon, so by the time the base ball season opens in McHenry we will show np in fine shape. At the meeting the following officers were elected for the coming year: Dr. R. G. Chamberlin, president; Peter M. Justen, secretary; W. G. Schreiner, treasurer; F. G. Sihreiner, manager; Jos. Heimer, captain and custodian; L. F. Newman, official nmpira. -- EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES. AND McHenry vs Cary. The deciding game of a series of three will be played at the city hall in this village tomorrow (Friday) evening, April 7, between the McHenry Highs and Cary. These two teams have met twice this season and each has suc­ ceeded in landing one game. Since their last meeting, however, the Cary team has been doing some wonderful work, and they have defeated several craek Chicago teams. But this does not wor­ ry our boys in the least; it only makes them the more anxious to battle with the gentlemanly lot of fellows ^rho make up the Cary team. Everybody turn out and fitness this, the best game of the season, tomorrow evening. The usual prices will prevail. Woodbnrn to Mendota. Rockford Register: W. S. Woodbnrn, who has been bill clerk in the local of­ fice of the United States Express Co., goes to Mendota next Tnesday "to take, charge of the office there. His depart­ ure does not mean a vacancy in the of­ fice of second lieutenant of Co. K, for a time at least, as he has been granted leave of absence for four months. A Af Iscellaneous Assortment of News Items In Condensed Form For Convea* lencto of Busy People. The new electric line between Elgin and Belvidere may go by. wsiy ,of Nunda and Algonqnin. A sixty foot'hard wood flag pole will be placed on the tower of the Elgin Watch Factory. " • The C. & N. W. R'y. has ordered six­ ty engines of the American Locomotive Works, to be delivered before June 1, at a cost of #18,000 eaoh. P. A. Stark, manufaotarer" of fib® Stark piano, is seeking a location for his factory outside of Chicago. A peculiar fact is that. 1905 began on Sunday and ends on Sunday, and there­ fore has 53 Sundays. Tnis will not oc­ cur again m 110 years. The way to kill a town is to send away for everything you want and tell every­ body that you can't get anything you want in your home town. Elgin has passed the Anti-Expectora­ tion ordinance and is already in full force. Will McHenry fall in line with all up-to-date towns in this respect? A Waukegan woman is said to have purchased a coffin of an undertaker in that city recently and before closing the deal asked if she was to get any trading ^stamps in the bargain. This really seems to be about the limit. It cannot be claimed that the men in either the Russian or Japanese armies are fighting for the money there is in it. The Russian soldiers get but 12 cents per month, while the Japs receive 60. American privates get $18 per month; France pays $1.74; Germany, $2.50; Great Britain,;|7.14; and Austria-Hun­ gary, 78 cents. A Kansas City young man who had just married, suggested to his wife that they argue some question fully and frankly every morning, in order to know more of each other. The first question happened to be: "Can a woman dress on sevtnty-five dollars a year?" He took the affirmative and when last seen was climbing into a hay loft with the evident intentions of pulling the ladder up after him? Woodstock Sentinel: Attorney D. T. Smiley was notified last week that a decision had been reached and a decree made for $17,000 in favor of the com­ plainant in the case „of the foreclosure of the Riverside hotel at McHenry. The (^ase is entitled Connelly vs. Adams et al. This case was appealed from the circuit court last spring. There were quite a number of points of law in­ volved ahd it is highly gratifying to the attorney for the complainant, Attorney Smiley, that all points were decided in his favor. Seventeen year locusts--mysterious pests!--are due this year, in June. They made their appearance in 1854, again in 1871, and the last time in 1888. The only damage done by them is the depos­ iting of their eggs in the twigs of large trees and bodies of small ones. They are apt to injure trees in the nursery or young orchards, especially when oak timber was standing seventeen years ago. They seem to thrive the best in oak timber, being seldom found any­ where else, and never in pine or hem­ lock forests. Two passenger trains running at top speed passed on the double' track. It was a flash of headlights, a rush and swirl of atmosphere and a vanish of tail lights. When the reporter who occupied a seat on one of the engines had recovered and restored his hat to position, he leaned across the deck and asked of the grizzled engineer: "Say, Ward, where'd we been if that head light had been on this track?" "That depends on how you've lived,"- growled the swarthy man at the throttle. And the, reporter hasn't yet been able to get through his noddle just what Watd meant. Nunda Herald: The Borden milk bottling factory at McHenry turned away a good many of the farmers this spring when making contracts for the summer supply of milk, and Tuesday about thirty of these dairymen made application to have the milk from their dairies received by the Bowman Dairy company at their factory in Nunda. The farmers were represented by such prominent dairymen as Geo. Hanley, Michael Conley, Win. Randall, Edward Wallace and others, and made a person­ al visit' to the Bowman factory. The Bowman factory contracts for milk in April, and until then will make no change in its dairies. Notice to Lot Owners. „ All owners of lots in Woodlawn ceme tery are respectfully requested to send or hand to the undersigned officers of the Cemetery Aid society of McHenry one dollar oi} or before the next meeting which will be held on the first Tuesday in May. The money thus contributed will go toward defraying the expense of keeping our cemetery in neat condition during the summer months. ( Mrs. James B. Perry, Pres. Com'ittee \ Mrs. T. J.
