The bride was l>eautifully attired ir» a smoked grey traveling suit, wit I; hat and gloves to match. The couple wac atteuded by Miss Anna Weber aud Walter Kranse, sister and brother ,t« the bride and groom respectively. After the ceremony the bridal party gathered at the home of the bride on Water street,, where, after receiving the usual warm congratulations, a rt ceplion w»ts tendered them. . • The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. Matnias Welter of this place. She was I torn and grew to womanhood here, where thru her frank manners and estimable qualities siw has won a wide circle of friends. Since iier mother's death some years ago she iias very cap ably discharged the household duties of tlie family, and has at all times cared for her younger sisters and brothers as only a trne sister could. In leaving the family fold, her father litis lost the ser vices of a valued daughter, while the ui'in of her choice has won a fair bride. The griHtm is the sou of Mrs. Augusta Krause.

For the past seven yean- he has been a valued empl >ye at the Borden Milk company's plant here, where, thru his loyalty to his employers, he has continually risen until he is at the present time acting iu the capacity of foreman and is giving his employers faultless service. Among his many associates and friends he is held in the highest esteem.

Following the advice granted him by his physicians, Matliias Engeln has given up active work and will hereafter do the directing only. Mr. Engeln has fqr some years been troubled with what he supposed was a stomach ailment, but upon consulting specialists l^e was informed that it was his heart that was affected aud was told that the only re­ lief for him would be to give up active work, and this he has done. Mr. Engeln bears the distinction of being McHenry's oldest business inan, having been active ly engaged iu the hardware business since 1875, a period of thirty-three years. Mr. Engeln s retirement from active work does not mean a change i|^ ownership, as the business will be con>«< due,ted under the saiue firm name of M. Engeln & Son as heretofore. While the senior member thus throws off bis over­ alls and jumper, he will, at all times, be at the shop to direct the work. The junior member, who is a skilled mechanic in every sense of the word, is well qualified to fill his father's shoes and the firm's customers and general public will be given the same prompt and courteous treatment in the future as in the past. The record of Mr. Engeln is surely one to be prond of and when it is considered that he has put in all these years without a vacation, the career of this man is a remarkable one, indeed.

An old swindle that is Iteing tried on the farmers again is 4hat. of selling them a new aud wonderful kiud of wheat and binding them by a contract to return to the man (who thus place him in a way to get rich) a certain number of bushels of the grain next year. Look out for it. The city of Marengo has recently paved its main street and all telephone and electric light poles within the paved district have been removed, the im­ provement made thereby adding gretftly- to Marengo, which has made nnmerons improvements since the bnilding of the internrbau railroad thru that city. Light, air and sunlight are important factors in keeping the family and the honse in a healthy condition.- Nothing could be worse than the habit some people have of keeping the house in darkness from early morning until night. The house should )>e Hooded with light, and air forjteveral hours each day. A raccoon of unusual size and weight was killed near Wauke^an recently aft­ er an txciting battle with two dogs. The dogs discovered the animal and a struggle ensued which might have end­ ed in a victory for the raccoon had not Night Watchman Peterson taken a hand. One of the dogs was so badly done up he could hardly stand. ' The Chicago and Milwaukee electric railroad is now in complete rnnning order between the two cities.

The Are is supposed to have b?eu started by hunters Mr. Smith lost about 75 tons of bay on the L. A. Garwood slough, thirty-five tons was cut and heaped while the rest was still standing. Mr. Willett also lost considerable standing bay. An opportunity presents itself for some inventive person to furnish a sub­ stitute for the orthodox Christmas tree, which has heretofore been yielded by the pine forests of northern Wisconsin and Michigan. The wise ones declare the. foreftt fires which raged this summer and fall have Injured the growth of yonng trees to such an extent that there will be poor gleaning for the < 'hristmas tree harvesters. Altho the i^osqnito specialises on yellow fever and malaria and is uni­ versally recognised a« an enemy to lie fought outright, scientists have come to regard the common house fly as the more dangerous.

(Vtpeland of Libertyville has made arrangements to transfer all his property to the Christian Brothers, the Catholic organization which conducts rbe boys' school a Feehanville. As Mr. Copehmd is worth from f75,000 to f 100,- 000, it means quite a help to the brother­ hood. The Christian Brothers, founded by Chevalier de la Salle, is a Catholic society devoted to the education of boys for a businesn life, and the gift is nyple because Mr. Copeland declares the tirothers give the most practical and useful education to make successful men, also preaching total abstinence.

Men who saw the boat hurried to the spot and, turning it over, fonnd Johnson's body bet ween the boat and a net which had b***ouie f isteued to the boat, show- tug that the men. in trying to keep on top of the boat after it had tipped, had become entangled in the net. The men planned to go catching uiin- UOWH Snnday morning and at daybreak they started out in an ordinary row l»oat. They took along several nets with which to do the work aud the last seen of them was by relatives as they left, cheerful and happy over a fine •lay 's sport on the lake. At noon, without another word being heard from them, the boat was fonnd upturned aud investigation revealed the body of Johnson. Inquiry then showed that the other men had goue with him and a search was started for the other two mrii. The manner in which the net was wrap|ied about Johuson's body ami the b «at shows they must have had a terrific struggle. The triple drowning proved the sen­ sation of the day in western Lake county, for, while there have been many single drownings iu the past few years, a triple drowning had not occurred for a great mAuy years. All the victims were well known in the vicinity. Russell was a contractor in the village and had bailt many homes there and in the neighborhood. JOHN~BEDFORD CAUGHT. ArrNMil M«r4er*r or Oaear Hogutaa ArnwtMt In Nebraska. la John Bedford, accused of murdering Oscar Hoganson near Marengo, war caught at Beatrice, Neb., last Satnrday and is now resting in the county jail awaiting his trial. The horses taken from HogMMXi'* farm at the time of the murder were sold iu Rockford and were rounded up one week ago last Saturday. Hoganson was a young unmarried Swede who resided alone on the Rich­ ards farm near Marengo. Two weeks ago last Saturday he disappeared aud on the same day Bedford was missed. Hoganson's body was found one week later in the chicken coop on Bedford's farm. A bullet hole was in the temple. Hoganson and Bedford had been the best of friends. It is apparent that immediately after the murder Bedford went to RoeMord to sell the horsea. He had disposed of them before his victim's body was found and he had time to get into the west before the search for him was started. SHURTLEFF IN FIELD Hpciikfniliip and I* %'mry Apt to Win the Honor. Speaker Edward D. Shurtleff has Mich a long leao in the race for the speaker­ ship of the house in the forty-sixth gen­ eral assembly that he appears as a safe winner, barring interference on the part, of Governor Deneen, says the Chi­ cago Tribune. Mr. Shurtleff, re-elected to the legis­ lature by a diminished plurality, will have the liacking of a majority of the old members of influence and there is no strong man on whom his opponents can unite. The men likely to be elected to the legislature were canvassed before the election and Mr. Shurtleff has promises ol support from most of the legislators, whose influence is weighty in matters of organisation. Governor Deueen has small reason to mix in this legislative couteet. His principal concern now is to obtain from the assembly the legislative action need­ ed to carry out his asylum program. The chief need is for appropriations, and a legislatnre which has not been disturbed by administrative interfer­ ence in its organization matters is likely to be considerably l>etter uatured with regard to finances than one which has been upset by a bitter fight. Mr. Deneen's intention is believed to be not to interfere and in snch caee Mr. Shurtleff has the call on the speaker­ ship for the third time.

Died, at Barreville, Snnday, Nov. 1, 1908, John Fleming, aged 74 years. John Fleming was born in County Limerick, Ireland, in the year 1834 and came to this country in infancy. His mother died during the voyage and was buried at sea, thus making the early life of the family (consisting of his father, two brothers, two sisters and John> an unusually hard struggle in those pioneer days. Arriving m this country in 1834. the first two years were spent in New York, thence coming to Chicago by boat. At this time Chicago was but a mere trading post and snr rounding coantry could be purchased for a mere pittance, but the lowlands of the great metropolis of today did not appeal to them, they preferring instead the wide prairies and fertile lands of McHenry, and moved farther on, the father securing the title to a large tract of land in Nnnda township, and provided homes for each of the five children as they grew to manhood and womanhood. John Fleming was united in marriage to Bridget Grant in the year 1862 and settled on his father's estate, continuing to make this his home up to the time of bis death, thus proving him to 'be one of the earliest settlers, as,, well an one of the oldest residents in McHenry county. Mr. Fleming was a man of integrity, always standing for what he thought was right: retiring in disposition, thoro- ly domestic, preferring home and fam­ ily to the plaudits of the world. On the other hand, he helped his children to heights of prominence and character. To be entertained in the Fleming home was to be happy, ami the writer well remembers how companionable were father* mother, sons and daugh­ ters, all joining to make the ideal Christian home, and friends and rela­ tives sympathise in the loss of a kind father. The deceased had been an invalid for the past few years, rheumatism being the main cause, which in its last stages rendered him almost helpless, and the family can find consolation in the thought that his sufferings are ended. The remains were taken from his home at B*rrevil!e Nov. 8. and followed by a procession of sixty carriages to St. Patrick's church, McHenry, 111., where rfHjuiem high mass was celebrated by his pastor, the Rev. Paul Bourke. The fnneral sermon was preached by the Rev. Fr. Peters of Chicago. Mr. Fleming is survived by his wife and seven children: Mrs. J. M. Petti bone, Mrs. B. J. Frisby and Edmund, of Chicago; John, Mary, Frances and Richard, residing at the homestead, all of whom were with him Jin his laet hours. He is also survived by two sis­ ters, Mrs. Catherine Mullaney, of Ramona, S. D , and Mrs. Mary Mutla* ney, of East Wilnmr, Minn. The interment was in the cemetery beside the church and the grave covered with beautiful floral offerings to the dear departed. May his soul rest in peace. •** Have your eave troughs fixed before the rnsh at J. J. Vycital's. SMOMI Number of Entertainment Count*. The second number of the McHenry entertainment course will take place at the Central opera house on Thanks­ giving night, Thursday, Nov. 36, when Ferrante, the world famoue magician, will be the attraction. Ferrante comes very highly recommend, both from press and public and will, no doubt, spring many new surprises on the McHenry audience when he comes. Regarding bis visit to Winslow, III., F. W. Bur- ley, manager of the Winslow Course has the following to say: "I take pleas­ ure in recommending Ferrante. As a magician, he has few equals, and in some of his work, has no superior. The en­ tertainment was clean and artistic thru- out. " The prices for the remaining four numbers are $1.20 for adults and 80 cents for children. Single*admission tickets will be sold at the usual prices. J«n«i Walsh I>ea«l. James Walsh, an aged and highly re­ spected citizen of Fox Lake, passed away at his home last Wednesday, the funer­ al taking place from St. Mary's church at Fox Lake last Friday. The remains were brought to McHenry, interment being in St. Patrick's cemetery. The funeral was attended by a large con­ course of relatives and friends from this place. ^ , Watch the label upon your paper, as your name may be next to be taken from onr list.

OUR WEEKLY PICK-UPS < One of the greatest wedding surprises that has occurred in McHenry in many a day came last Thursday afternoon when Mr; John J. McCarthy of Chicago was quietly married to Miss Margaret Cleary of this place, the ceremony tak­ ing place at St. Patrick's Catholic church at four o'clock on the above mentioned di»y. So well did the two participants in this particular matrimonial event keep their secret guarded that few knew of the intended marriage until'it was all over. The ceremony was performed bv Rev. A. Royer of St. Mary's church aud was witnessed by only a few of the near relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick J. Cleary attending the couple. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Michael Cleary and is a women bearing a wide acquaintance. She is of a kind and most pleasant nature, with all the qualifications of a devoted and helpful life companion a:t her command. The groom is not a stranger here as he has lived in this vicinity for some years, but during the past several years he has claimed the city of - Chicago as his home. During his Chicago resi­ dence he has been connected with the Globe Laundry Co. He is a man of ex­ ceptionally fine business methods and thru his strict attention to business at all times he has^ared well in life. Mr. and Mrs McCarthy have already gone to housekeeping in the Cleary home on Elgin road, where they are now ready to receive their friends. The Plaindealer extends its best wishes for a happy and prosperous future. For stoves and hardware call on J. J* Vycital. ' AN ENJOYABLE OUTING ITEM8 PICKED UP ABOUT TOWN DURING THE WEEK.

Is Held at the Italljr O'Gregy Club (iroitnda. The presidential election was respon­ sible for an enjoyable outing at the Bally O'Gregg club grounds down the river last Thursday. The outing resulted thru" an agree-' merit between John J. Bnch and Joseph Engeln. Some time before election day these two gentlemen met and began dis­ cussing Taft's and Bryan's chances of winning the great national honor. Buch had firmly pinned his faith to Taft as the winner, while Engeln could see vio- tory for the Democratic candidate. So firmly did the two place their confidence in the man of their respective choices that an agreement was reached, where­ by in case that Taft was elected to the presidential chair it would remain for Bnch to entertain at an outing to be held at Bally O'Gregg's; should Bryan win out the fnnwould have to be at the expense of Engeln. It is. unnecessary for us to say that the outing was on Buch, as this is too plain to be seen, but it will remain for us to say that those who attended the outing at J. J. 's expense were treated to one of the most enjoyable times imagin­ able- One of the pleasing features of the day was the spread served during the noon hour. Those present were: Wta. Vietmeyer, Wm.
