Ger&Jtrd Wegener and Hn. Lucy , Miller, are Wed. At St. Mary's German Catholic church Wednesday morning at 8:30 o'clock oc­ curred the marriage of Mr. Gerhard Wegener to Mrs. Lucy Miller, the cere­ mony being performed by Rev. M. W. Barth. . The bridal couple was attended by Misses Eva Miller and Mary Wegener and Ben Herbes and Geo. Wegener. Im­ mediately after the ceremony the wed­ ding party repaired to the home of the bride's parents, where a -sumptuous wedding breakfast was partaken of. The groom is the son of Henry Wege­ ner and is one of our most enterprising young farmers, at present having charge of his fathers farm. He is a genial young man and has many friends in and around this village. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Herbes, and is well and favorably known to most of our people. She has, with the exception of a few years, made McHen-, ry and vicinity her home, and will make a^splendid wife for Mr. Wegener. The couple will go to housekeeping at Once on the Wegener farm east of town. The Plaindealer extends congratulations. Dance a Success. The benefit dance at Stoffel's hall last Friday evening was a success both soci­ ally and financially. The evening was not a very inviting one for the outside people but nevertheless about sixty-five tickets were sold. Had the evening been more favorable one hundred coup­ les would have been in attendance. The dance pas§e<^off very satisfactorily to everyone ' and if there are any com­ plaints, the boys have yet to be told of them. Chris Hapke's orchestra fur­ nished the music for the occasion and did themselves honor. Mr. Hapke has an orchestra of which he can justly feel ""proud and one which is becoming more popular at every dance for which they furnish the music. The supper served by Mrs. Brink was on the "Queen's taste order." It seems that this lady is continually trying to outdo her former efforts and in onr estimation she suc­ ceeded in doing this last Friday even ing. The McHenry Base Ball associa­ tion wishes to thank her for her kindness in serving the supper and hopes to re­ turn the favor some time in the future. They also extend their thanks to the Woodmen for the liberal rates given them for the«gpse of the hall and the public in general for the appreciation of their effort*. It has thus been shown that McHenry people will support a good home ball team, and this the boys promise to give them. Old Time Dance. The local lodgertf Modern Woodmen extend a most cordial invitation to evety body, both old and young, to attend an old time dance, to be given at Stoffel's on Friday evening of next week. May May 28 The musid will he^furnished by Chris Hapke's popular five pi^e orches­ tra. All the old time dances will pre vail throughout the evening, as also will the up-to-date dances, thus giving^ both old and young an opportunity to enjoy themselves together. Arivevent of this kind will undoubtedly draw out an exceptionally large crowd as it is the first dance of this kind given in McHen­ ry in a long time. Anyone wishing to enjoy themselves to the limit, or as they did in bygone years, should.no^ lail to attend this dance. Xhe young people will undoubtedly enjoy this dance as well as will the old folks, as it will be something entirely new to them: Mrs. Brink has the supper in charge, and her generalship insures a treat at midnight. Dance tickets $1.00; supper 35 cents per plate. Horses and baggage cared for free of charge. Kast Lyase. In these dqys of degenerate farce com­ edies, blood and thunder melodramas and cheap repertoire productions it is a relief to witness one of the good old- time plays that has been recognized for fifty years as absolutely the best of its class. When a reputable theater man like Mr. Wilson invests his money and gives his time to a production it Is a guarantee that no pains will be spared to make it well "Worthy of patronage. For this reasonk is with a feeling of confidence that we announce the appear­ ance here on Sunday evening, May 21, 1905, of E. C. Wilson's great scenic pro­ duction of this famous play. The com­ pany is a large one and is composed of people well adapted to the roles they portray.

"What cauBedn^' watch to stop?" asked a lady on calling for her timepiece at the jeweler's. "Madame, itlhacfriii bedbug in it," replied the jeweleiv . « A bedbug!" replied the astonished lady, "how in the world do you suppose it got there?" "Between the ticks, madame." A newspaper man recently offered a prize for the best answer to the conun­ drum: "Why is a newspaper like a woman?" The prise was won by an Oklahoma Woman,' whose answer was: ' 'Because every man should have one of his own and not be running after hit neighbor's." - When a man and his wife start to go anywhere, says an exchange, he tells her te get out his good suit, fix the but­ tons in hisshirt, get his cuffs, good shoes tie his necktie, brush his hat, perfume his handkerchief and a few other little jobs. Then he puts on his bat and says: "Great scott! Aren't you ready yet?v' When a petition is handed you to s&n, it's a mighty good thing to stop and read it before putting your name down. Besides, men as a rule are too busy now­ adays to stop for a little thing like that. The other day a man went through a big office building in Chicago, on a wa­ ger, and secured twenty names to a pe­ tition asking the public executioner to hang eve#y one of the signers. Don't attempt to ask the editor to write up or rebuke every evil in the town and community, but when con­ vinced that such duties need attending to write up an article for publication and sign vonr name for publication. The man who is too big a coward to thus express an opinion is the man who will stand on the street corner and talk about the cowardice of the editor. If an editor makes a mistake be has to apologize for it, but if a doctor makes a mistake he buries it. If the editor makes one there is a lawsuit, some swearing and £he smell of sulphur, but ifthe doctor makes one. there is a funer- avsome cut flowers and the smelf*of Varnish. A doctor can use a word a yard long without knowing what it means, but if the editor uses it he has to spell it. Any college can 'make a doc­ tor, but editors are not made, they are born. Originality is the salient feature of "We're All So Much Alike," by Will Payne, iu the May McClure's. The story opens in a Chicago police court, where^he heroine iB discovered on the, witness-stand, testifying to many things calculated to bring grievous mortifica­ tion to her ultra respected parents, and the newness never abates even while this strong-minded young person proves finally the truth of the " story's title by a surrender at last to masculine persua­ sion. It is a pretty story, told with a finished art. ^ Woodstock Sentinel: Tbey all like the Oliver, from the king to the peas­ ant, from the great captains of industry to the small tradespeople, from the busi­ ness man who.pays for the machine to the girl who operates it. In fact, oil who have use for a typewriter find the Oliver, their favoritp. Recently tt*e factory here turned out a special type­ writer, built for the King of England, of which the Chicago Evening Post of Friday, May 5, says: "Next week Ed­ ward VII, ruler of England, Ireland, India, Canada and other slices of the map, will run his royal fingers over an American typewriter, that was pnt on the train at strike-ridden Chicago under police escort. The machine, in company with 169 others destined for the Briti4h government, manufactured by the Oliv­ er company, was sent to New York to­ day on a Lake Shore train in charge of the United States express company. King Edward's typewriter was marked "special" and was packed with great care. The framework of the machine is of the finest mahogany and the keys of purest ivory. Its coat was $250. MAY GET ELECTRIC Fox Lake Electric Road May Cim This v . • . * . Superintendent R. D. Wynn, manager and promoter of the western extension of the Waukegan and Fox Lake electric admits that there are new parties inter­ ested iin his proposed road and says that the wbrk will be started in a short time, says the Libertyville Independent. This road which has been in the embryo for several years seems now to loom up as an-almost matured fact By fall it is hoped to have the work of construction well under way and it is understood that Gages and Drnces lakes wjll be touched on the way to Grays­ lake. From this point Mr. Wynn does not state what his plans are, but it has been given out by one who is said to be behind the deal that the aim of those who are backing the project is to build a line through to McHenry and thence to Belvidere. It is proposed to run the whole line -west-from the city limits at Waukegan over private right-of-way and the cross­ ing at the DesPlaines rivjer will be mid­ way between the plank road and the dlurnee mad, in case the present plans are carried through. >The first intimation the public had that there was something being p]anned by the Fox Lake people was the sudden movement on the part of Wynn in buy­ ing the Wtttzel tract and layiny a cross­ road over the strip wanted by the North­ western company for their right-of- way. After this more rails were laid, in allmjaking about five hundred f^et, the greater part of which were laid la&taFri- day night, when a gang of men was put to work at nightfall. In speaking of the matter Wynn said that there was no reason for laying the track at night other than that he could get the extra men needed mor6 readily at that time than in the day. Those connected with the building of the extension are extremely reticent about divulging their plans but it is said that by a year from this summer the whole line as far as Fox Lake will be in operation.

Answering to kind invitations sent out by Miss Lucile Byrd young people to the number of twenty gathered kt her home last Friday evening to help that young lady in celebrating the thir­ teenth anniversary of her birth. The evening was most pleasantly spent by IT TAKE FOR IW)«HENF S TEN (INNINGS NRY TO DEFEAT RICH­ MOND. Rain Falls During Almnxt Kntire Game, But Both Teams Play Hard Ball liU8H Get* Sixteen StrIke-Outs. In spite of the rain which fell during almost the entire contest, about one hundred lovers of the national game were out to witness the contest at the ball park Sunday between the locals and the Richmond team. ' Richmond came down with a great improvement, in the line up and they had picked a good bunch. The rain bad a great deal to do with the playing, of course, and as a consequence the errors that were made were excusable in near­ ly every instance. Had it been a nice day the game would undoubtedly have been one of the best ever played in Mc­ Henry, but everyone seemed satisfied with the showing made. For the pitch­ ers the contest was doubly hard, as it was almost impossible to control the slippery sphere with any degree of ac­ curacy, and this accounts for the num­ ber of free passes allowed to the initial bag. Taking everything 1 ntoconsidera­ tion the work of both teams was good. The complete story of the game will be found in the following tableted score: THE. SCORE McHenry A. B. K II 1> O A E Waito.

IS FOUND DEAD Bojjy of 'Anton Lntih Fonmt Morning. winitku OUR WEEKLY PICK-UPS Trtse lifeless body of Anton Lutsh was found beside his bed in his room at the home of Oliver Moore last Sunday morning about 6:30 o'clock. At the in­ quest which wan held at N. J. Justen's undertaking reoais the jury returned a verdict that death resulted from natural causes. It is supposed that the deceased expired during a coughing spell, being undoubtedly strangled to death.' A guest in the next room to Mr. Lutsh's states that he was suddenly awakened during the night by the coughing which came from the next room and it was probably at this time that he expired. f>o when the body was found it was decided it had been lifeless for three or four hours. The deceased war generally known about town as "Jake" and up to the time of his death his real name was a mystery to most of the people. He has made McHehry and the^surroundirig country his home ior the past several years, working on farms and about town wherever there was work for him. He .was an honest and hard worker aiid always gave the best of satisfaction wherever employed. He was taken sick about three weeks ago while at work for Doherty Bros., and taking the physici­ an's advice came to McHenry, making his home where he passed away.. We have learned since the inquest that the deceased was the victum of quick oom- sumption. " The burial "took place Monday after­ noon, interment being in Woodland cemetary. Birthday Surprise. Miss Pearl Sayler was very pleasantly reminded of her fifteenth birthday an­ niversary last Friday evening when a company of young people called upon her without the slightest warning what­ ever. The victim recovered from the shock in short order, however, and en­ tertained her guests in a royal manner, and from the time of their arrival to the hour of departure nothing but solid enjoyment prevailed. The young people passed the evening in playing games and music. That all enjoyed the event most thoroughly is a foregone conclu­ sion, judging from the sounds of merri­ ment that emanated from that neigh­ borhood on that evening. At a late hour delicious refreshments were served by the hostess, to which all did ample ITEMS PICKED UP ABOUT TOWtf DURING THE WEEK.
