The toboggan slide is in all its glory this week. The boys and girls say the more you "let her go" the more you want to. There seems to be a fascination about the slide that is hard to resist after the first trial. The cantata of the "Flower Queen" at Riverside hall on Friday evening last drew out a good house, but not as large as it deserved, as it was decided­ ly the best entertainment that has vis­ ited this place in many a day. Monday last, Jan. 31, was the seven­ ty-first birthday of our townsman, F. A. Hebard. He is an old resident of this town, having resided here over thirty years. That he may live to en­ joy many more birthdays is the wish of his many friends. Our January thaw caught a severe eould cm Saturday night, and the ther mometer showed twelve to twenty de­ grees below zero on Sunday aud Mon­ day. Several inches of snow fell on Monday morning and the sleighing is now the best this winter. Died--In this village on Sunday morn­ ing, January 30, 1887, Anson Hall, aged ninety years. Mr. Hall was the father of Mrs. M. H. Colyer, with whom he has resided for the past two years or over. He was almost blind and has been confined to his room most of the time for the past six or eight \jnonths. His funeral was held from the residence of Mrs. Colyer on Tues­ day and his remains deposited in Wood­ land cemetery. 4,000 ACRES OF FARM LAND READY FOR THE PLOW Reclaimed by the "RUSH CRKKK DRA1NAGK DISTRICT.

ROSS WRITES US AN INTERESTING LETTER. For chilblains use Petesch's. Sudicura. 25c at 31 CMEA1K BAKING POWIMt Matte hom pure, grape Cream ol Tartar food and good health 9§0 mium Portland, Ore., Jan. 2ti, 1912. Mr. F. G. Schreiner, McHenry Plaindealer. Dear Friend Schreiner--You doubt­ less will be surprised to hear from me in Portland, altho I surmise that dad ordered my copy of The Plaindealer forwarded from Walla Walla, from which you doubtless have concluded that I am here. From the above letter head you will see that I am connected with the In­ dependent Western Film Exchange. While managing1 the picture theatre in Walla Wralla I had occasion to visit Portland on business with the al>ove company--we were renting film from them--and while here I became ac­ quainted with the manager, and the outcome of the trip was that I accepted a position with the exchange and moved here in November. I've heard a great deal about Port­ land weather and have been told that it is exceedingly disagreeable. But I'll take Portland weather every time. Our winter consisted of four days of snow, with a minimum temperature of 24 degrees F. During the freeze we experienced the wonderful "Crystal Thaw," for which Portland is renowned. The temperature near the earth is freezing, but a Chinook bl^.v at a higher altitude, causing a fine rain to fall; this rain freezes as it comes in contact with the trees, wires, shrubs, etc. In this case the ice coating aver­ aged an inch in thickness. You can­ not imagine how dazzling a sight it was when we looked out at the pine forest on the slope of the mountains a short distance south of us. The ice- coating was very demoralizing to the electric and telephone systems, in some instances miles of poles and lines being torn down by the weight of ice. But on the evening of the fourth day a Chinook came along and next morn­ ing it was all gone--ice, snow and cold. Now it is as warm as a May day in Mc­ Henry and getting more pleasant every day. I read with interest the two letters printed last week in The Plaindealer, and would like to have you insert as much of this as you would deem of in­ terest, that your readers may know what conditions are out here. As an illustration of our winter weather it might be interesting to add that on Christmas day I witnessed a swimming race in the W7ilamette rivet- here. The temperature of the water was 48 degrees. All of the fourteen entrants finished and several fancy diving "stunts" were, pulled off. I guess that's going a few for December *25. As I said in my other communica­ tion, you can't talk Illinois weather to me, or any other than Portland as far as that is concerned, and I hope I'll never have to take up my abode any where else. I trust that this finds you in the best of health and prospering, and I assure you I am ditto. With kindest regards I am, Sincerely Yours, C. D, ROW, The marriage of Miss Katie WTeber of Adams, Minn., and Mr. John N. Freund of this place was solemnized at St. Mary's Catholic church here at 9:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week. The ceremony was a simple one and was performed by the Rev. A. Royer, pastor of the church. The couple was attended by Miss Mary Adams of Adams, Minn., a cousin of the bride, Miss Elizabeth Freund, a cousin of the groom, Albert Weber, brother to the bride, and Peter H. Freund, a brother to the groom. Outside of a few carnations that held the veil of the bride in place, the att'air was void of flowers. The brides­ maids wore dresses of white and the bride a gown of green messaline silk. After the ceremony a reception was tendered the couple at the home of the groom's paj-ents. The reception, as well as the church ceremony, was attended by a large concourse of rela­ tives and friends. Many were the presents received by the happy ones during the day. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Weber of Adams, Minn. She has made Adams her home from childhood up to the time of com­ ing to this vicinity, which occurred just before Thanksgiving of last year. Since coming here she has made many friends who value her friendship highly. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nick F. Freund, who only a short time ago moved from Johnsburgh to their beautiful new home on Park avenue in this village. He is a young man of good habits and industry. He enjoys the acquaintance of a large cir­ cle of friends who bid him and his better half a safe journey upon the sea of matrimony. Mr. and Mrs. Freund have rented the Hoffmann Bros.' farm near Spring Grove and will go to housekeeping the first of March. •••••••• PROBA TE NEJVS { [Furnished by Mollenry County Company, Woodstock, Illinois. 1.00 172.f>0 ITS.fiO 1.00 1 00 Abstract .

It startled the world, and aroused the Incredulity of millions. BUT IT WAS TRUE! And it brought new hope and new life to thousands of despairing souls and suffering homes. 400,000 Men Saved From Drink Disease Since that memorable day--thirty-two years ago--400,000 men have woa the victory over liquor through the Keeley treatment. And thousands more are daily breaking their chains aad "getting a fresh, clean start." Dr. Keeley proved, conclusively, that drunkenness is a disease caused by constant use of alcohol wherein "the nerve cells have become so accustomed to performing their duties and functions under the influence of alcohol that they are dependent on it and will no longer perform those duties and functions properly and painlessly except when under its influence." It is practically impossible for an inebriate, unaided, to stop drink­ ing of his own accord. The Famous **Keeley Cure®* The Keeley treatment--known the world around as "The Keeley Cure"--is simply the application of reconstructive nerve tonics which restore the nerve cells to their normal, natural condition. The treatment produces no sickness or nausea. It demands no restriction or confinement of patients. It has absolutely no ill effects. DR. N. J. NYE McHENRY, ILLINOIS PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON.

Druggists West McHenry Typewriters Given Away The Emerson Typewriter company of Woodstock, 111., have recently given away over 400 of the highest grade, wholly visible Emerson Type­ writers made in the world. They have gone into every state and terri­ tory in the United States. There may be some in your town. They are giv­ ing them away everywhere to men, women, boys and girls, over 18 years of age, on surprisingly liberal condi­ tions. If you could make any use of a $100.00 typewriter, providing it did not cost you even one cent, then in a letter or on a postal card addressed to Frank L. Wilder, President, Woodstock, 111., simply say, "Mail me all your Free Offers," and by return mail you will receive their Free Of­ fers, the names of over 400 who have recently received typewriters free, and you will learn on what easy condi­ tions you can get one of their type­ writers free right away. The Einerson Typewriter is one of the highest grade, wholly visible typewriters made in the world. Many who have used the "EMERSON" and other makes pronounce . the "EMElt- SON" superior to any $100.00 type­ writer on the market. It is a wholly visible machine, has every new, up- to-date feature, looks like other high grade $100.00 typewriters, though it sells regularly for less and on tern.; of $1.00 down and 10 cents a day un­ til paid for. The "EMERSON" has every new improvement, universal keybcai-d, back spacer, tabulator, two- color ribbon, everything the best; is the ideal mach'ne for beginners as well as for the most expert typists and stenographers; just the type­ writer for the smallest or largest office.
