During an interview with Mr. Hunt­ er, president of the local boat manu­ facturing company, he informs us that the prospects for the season of 1912 are better than ever and if the orders keep coming in as they Are the factory out­ put will exceed all previous records during the coming spring and summer. Since returning from his European trip Mr. Hunter has booked eleven very nice orders for craft. Some of the most recent visitors at the factory to place orders are the fol­ lowing: F. W. Thomsen of Chicago, twenty- four footer, to be used on Pistakee Bay. Alex Thane of Chicago, twenty-two footer, to be used on Fox lake. W. C. Cooper, twenty-two footer, to be used at Long Lake. Ray Cahill of Chicago, twenty-five footer, to be used in Chicago. Nathan Herzog of Chicago, twenty- five footer, to be used at Fox Lake. N. A. Huemann of McHenry, twenty- five foot speed hull. Visitors are always welcome at the factory. At the present time work is in progress In the building of a 44x9 foot cabin boat to be used on Fox river. The boat is a classy one and those who can spare the time should go over and see it. McHenry people should not forget this industry and boost, the McHenry boats at every opportunity. When you .go out of town make it a point to talk about the McHenry boat factory and its products to those you meet. It will do no harm. DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP L. F. BLOCK PURCHASES INTEREST OF HIS PARTNER. Block & Bethk'e, the Centerville mer­ chants, have dissolved partneiship, and since Feb. 1 L. F. Block has been the sole owner of the business, the change coming as quite a surprise to the general public. Messrs. Block & Bethke came to this place from Dundee abbut eight years ago and since that time thru strict attention to business, honest and fair dealings, have built up a splendid business. When tirst coming to this village tliey purchased the stock of merchan­ dise from S. S. C'hapell, who was at that time engaged in the mercantile business here-" Their labors in thp eight year? have gone on in a most satisfactory and harmonious manner and the parting was made necessary thru the fact that Mr. Bethke has bean called tq Dundee to care for his mother and her interests. Mr, Bethke and family have proven themselves valuable citizens and the village is surely sorry to see them go. Their household effects will l>e moved to Dundee today, the family leaving for thei$ future home last evening. Mr. Bethke wishes us to thank his many friends here for favors shown him during his residence here and as a business partner of Mr. Block wishes to extend his thanks for their support. Just what line of work Mr. Bethke will take up at Dundee is nob known at this time, but whatever it may be we wish him success. WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKEN NT0K THE COLUMNS OF OUR (UNI EXCHANGES. MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OT HEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE. The city water pipes at Huntley are frozen tliruout the village. Richmond expects to soon have a postal savings bank installed in its postoftice. Sherman's orchestra of Woodstock will hereafter be known as Wynkoop's orchestra, Fred I). Wynkoop being manager. A new stamp cancelling machine, with a speed of 150 a minute, has-been installed by Postmaster Corl at Crys­ tal Lake. In excavating for die cellar for the house to be erected for ( 'arl Abraham at Union it was found that the frost is in the ground five feet deep. An orchestra has been organized at the Baptist Sunday school, Dundee, to furnish music at the school sessions, with Prof. E. C. Fisher as violinist. The Crystal Lake Base Ball organi­ zation for 1912 was formed last week and there is every prospect for a record breaking base ball year for that vil­ lage. Andrew Larsen of Greenwood town­ ship had the misfortune to lose part of his right hand in a corn husker re­ cently. He was taken to the Wood­ stock hospital. George H. Rowe of Richmond had a narrow escape from asphyxiation by coal gas Tuesday night of last week. The services of a physician were neces­ sary to revive him and he was confined to the house for several days by the illness following. The stoppage in the gas supply cost the Western United Gas and Electric company $500 a day to the Oliver com­ pany at Woodstock and $200 a day to the Emerson for failure to furnish gas. The mains are 3| feet underground, while the frost is down 4$ feet. Pat­ rons of the company are having all manner of trouble with cooking and lighting devices. The new well which will supply the water for Crystal Lake is finished. The electric motor which does the pumping is underground as well as the other pumping machinery. The thing is quite unique and is causing a good deal of comment. The stand pipe is to be erected as soon as possible and the mains are to be laid as soon as the frost leaves the ground. Dundee Haw keye: Tuesday, Feb. 6, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blow quietly ob­ served the sixty-third anniversary of their marriage, which occurred in Ch* cagO on that date in the year 1820. They are still keeping house together and Mr. Blow works every day at shoe- repairing. Mrs. Blow is eighty-three years of age and "Uncle" passed his ninety-fii-st milestone last November. A monster owl, apparently angered by its failure to capture any of the pigeons at the farm house of Mrs. Nels Anderson near Carney, Mich., attacked little children who were coasting in the neighbood. The children sought safety by running. The bird finally was shot and killed. It measured five feet from tip to tip of its wings. This is said to be the first time on record that an owl has attacked human be­ ings. Wilmot Agitator: A farmer near Union Grove went to Chicago recently and picked out eight horses from a drove for sale by Jew dealers, paying $700. In shipping, the Jews substitut­ ed other horses and when the consign­ ment arrived at Union Grove one horse was dead and the rest were barely able to stand without assistance. The buy­ ers immediately put themselves into communication with Chicago author­ ities and after pressure had been exert­ ed the Union Grove man received six good horses, harnesses for each, and $75 in cash, and the first lot were re­ turned to the city. All employes of the Borden Con­ densed Milk company have been made, profit sharers in the business of tb^ corporation thruout America.

Uhis sharing system is to be based on the salary of the individual employe and is in addi­ tion to the pension plan recently in-= augurated by the comply. Crystal Lake Herald: Wednesday the Public Service company performed the first thawing of frozen water m^ins in this village. The main at the cor­ ner of Minnie and Railroad streets was reached by the frost Sunday night and closed up entirely. The Public Ser­ vice company force strung their wire from the fire plug on the corner, near the stock yai-ds, to the service pipe of Mr. Hough and applied a current of electricity of 110 voltage, which in about one hour started the water flow­ ing thru the fire plug at a fine rate. This of course soon cleared the ice from the main and left it open, ready for use. . Hot water bottles at Masquelet'a. 36 OUT FOR REN0MINAT10N STATE'S ATTORNEY DAVID R. JOSLTN ANNOUNCES CAMDBkACY. On another page of this issue will be found the announcement of David R. Joslyn of Woodstock for state's attor­ ney. Mr. Joslyn has ̂ filled the office ot state's attorney most acceptably -for three years and we believe that it is the desire of the voters of McHenry county to give him another terW, - It is with considerable ptfde that Mr. Joslyn can point to his three years of administration, as during those •years the office of state's attorney has been cared for in a highly efficient and honest manner. During the time that he has held the office he has performed all of the duties connected with same without McHenry county paying out one cent for assistance, and he has honestly accounted for every dollar that has come into his hands. Under Mr. Joslyn'snvstem of account­ ing all of the criminals who are con­ victed pay all the costs, and beginning next term all of this money goes to the school fund, the state's attorney's pa.v being placed upon a salary basis, so that Mr. Joslyn's system would make McHenry county's school fund many thousand of dollars in the years to come. Mr. Joslyn has the support of nearly every lawyer in this county and feels that he has served the county faith­ fully during his present term and gives promise that he will do so dur­ ing the next term if the public sees fit to renominate and elect him. The records show thbt Mr. Joslyn during his three years in office has turned over nearly as much money as did Mr. Lowell during his eight years. The county records show that the total amount turned over to the county superinteadents of schools by different state's attorneys prior to L. D. Low­ ell's term of office to be $1,944.05. Total turned over by L. D. Lowell during the eight years that he held the office, $3,224.35, making an aver­ age of $403.04 per year. Mr. Joslyn has turned over in three years, from Dec. 1, 1906, to Dec. 1, 1911, $3,025.15, or a yearly average of $1,008.57.

JURV RETURNS TETOKT TO THE EFFECT THAT VICTIM TO HIS DEATH THRU WT,1A!« IMSVFFHCiEWfTY. £&lui JL No death in recent years has brought greater sadness into the hearts of so many as has that of John J. Bishop, which occurred at his home some time early last Friday morning. His cold body was found lying upon the floor in the dining room of the Bishop home by his wife shortly after 7:30 o'clock on the morning above mentioned. Just how long life had been extinet when the body was found cannot be ascertained. It was Mr. Bishop's custom to get up about six o'clock every morning. He would then care for the fire and warm up some coffee for his breakfast. He was a man who never ate much break­ fast, a cup of coffee and a bite to eat being the extent of his morning meal. This he always prepared himself. He would then leave for his shop and made it a point to be on duty about 6:45 a m. or no later than 7 o'clock. On Friday morning of last week when Mrs. Bishop arrived in the din­ ing room from her sleeping chamber she was confronted by the cold body of tier husband lying outatretched on the dining room floor. Without a moment's hesitation she called for the neighbors and within a short time Dr. D. G. Wells arrived on the seene. The doctor pronounced him dead and fur­ ther stated that he had been dead for some time as his body was cold. Just what time the deceased arose on that morning is not known as his wife does not recollect hearing him get up and not until she arrivfed in the dining room did she realise that anything was wrong. The sad news of the sudden death spread like wildfire and not long after the body had been discovered was the news heralded into every part of the village. Coroner Peck of Harvard was noti­ fied and an inquest was held over the body during the forenoon. After be­ ing out but a short time the jury, com­ posed of Dr. D. O. Wells, as foreman; Albert Krause, John Olson, Wm. Slmes, J. F. Freund and Henry Degen, returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased's death was caused from mitral insufficiency. 'Jack" Bishop, as he was known to our people, was born near Johnsburgh on October 1, 1862, he having passed the forty-ninth milestone of his birth on October 1 of last year. When but a young lad his parents moved to Mc­ Henry, where he has continued to make his home up to the time of his death. At the time of reaching his majority the deceased took a liking to the barber business. He made ar­ rangements with Jacob Hetzel, who at that time conducted a tonsorial parlor in this village, and before long, under the veteran's careful tutelage, the ap­ prentice became quite proficient, in that line of work. He later entered the shop of Dwight Kennedy and a few years later bought out his employer. He has been located in the Jacob Jus­ ten block during the past nineteen years. On November 23, 1892, he was united In marriage to Miss Anna Tonyan, the ceremony being performed by Rev. H. Mehring at Use Johnsburgh Catholic church. There are left to mourn his death, besides a host of relatives, friends and acquaintances, a grief«trioken wife an4 one daughter, Isahelle, his mother, Mrs. Katharine Bishop, and four broth- ers, Nichlous, Lewis, William and George, all of whom reside in this vil­ lage. The deceased was what can properly be termed a home man- Aliho the mature of his business kept him away from home dvring the day and quite late on pertain nights, he devoted most of his leisure time to his home and loved ones. He was a man of a Jolly, good-natured disposition and if "Jack" Bishop has left one enemy in this world we are not aware of the fact. His disposition towards his fellow be­ ings was always of the friendly variety and not of the enemy-making Mid again we repeat we believe he was without a real enemy in this world. His sudden and untimely death came as a great shock to those nearest to him, as well as his uncountable friends. His former place of business, with locked doors and drawn shades, pre­ sents anything but an inviting appear­ ance and not a day passes since his de­ parture to the unknown world but what some one or other in passing the shop has a good word to speak for our old friend, "Jack." The extent of his friendship in thia village and the community could not have been better than by the large turnout at the funeral, which took place from Mary's Catholic church ** *WQ Q,0^°°k Sunday after- n^um. Nearly every seat was taken, while nearly a hundred people took up the standing space in the rear of the spacious editloe. They had all oome to pay their last tribute of love and re­ spect to one who had been th«ir friend. Rev. A. Royer performed the cere­ mony and interment took place in St. Mary's Catholic cemetery. CARD OF THANKS. The undersigned wishes in this man­ ner to extend her heartfelt thanks to those who lent her assistance and ex­ tended sympathy during her recent very sad bereavement. She also wishes to extend especial thanks to those who contributed the many floral pieces. MRS. ANNA BISHOP. Jull«!9 c. IBy Rev. W. A. Cross.J Julius C. Clemens was born in Hyde Park, Vt., May 28, 1838, and died at his pleasant home, known as "The Maples," Feb. 2, 1912. This home he bought forty-five years ago and had resided there continuously ever since. Mr. Clemens first came to Illinois when a boy twelve years of age, com­ ing with his cousin, Charles W. Smith, to Ringwood, where he worked one year, and then returned to Vermont. Ln the fall of 1854 he returned to Illi­ nois, accompanied by his parents M r. Clemens was of a vigorous dis­ position and of determined purpose, self sacrificing for the good of others, generous and kind, hard working all his life. He was stricken with paralysis on Monday morning, Jan. 29. He soon lapsed into drowsiness,' with loss of speech soon following, but not into unconsciousness. He occasionally aroused and manifested with his eyes how gladly he would speak to the loved ones. Once, after the paralysis had apparently left his throat, he called his wife's name in a whisper, and a strong pressure of her hand, a glad light in his eyes, told how gladly he would speak. Soon after, sinking into a stupor from which he never rallied, his life went quietly out with apparent ease. May 24, 1866, he was united in mar­ riage to Miss Alma Simmons, who still survives him, and with whom he lived in blessed union for nearly forty-six years. Mr. Clemens enlisted in Co. H, Eighth 111. cavalry, Sept. 7, 1861, and was mustered into service Sept. 18 of the same year. He was a faithful and fearless soldier and was employed in carrying dispatches from one general to another, thru the enemy's country, both day and night. Often the nights were very dark, but so correct was he in keeping the points of the compass that his comrades gave him the sobri­ quet of "Compass." In hand to hand conflict he received seven sabre cuts, the scars of which he carried to the grave. He was in action i$ a large number of battles and skirmishes. He was shot in the left arm, the ball pass­ ing thru it, and he returned home for a short furlough. On returning to the regiment he found that thru the kind­ ness of a comrade he had been trans­ ferred to take charge ot ambulanoe trains. He was sick when he returned to the regiment, but having access to the ambulance supplies and medicine he soon regained his health. He was honorably discharged from servioe in Chicago, 111., Sept. 18, 1864. The funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday, Feb. 4, at 11 a. m., by the Rev. Cross, who preached on the wide domain of death, from Zechariah i, 5: "Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?" There are no intrica­ cies of life so tender that death does not invade them; no association of life so sacred that he does not enter there; there is no throne so bright but he will ascend it; there is no scepter so mighty but he will seise it, and no hovel so humble and lowly but he will incinerate himself into. The king of terrors loves a shining mark, but attends the humblest individaul with equal assiduity. Time speeds away, away, away. Another hour, another (lay, Another month, another jwar, Drop from us Ilk" the leaflets lore, Drop like the life blood fruia oar baarte, 'I he rose bloom from our cheek depart*. The tresses (rail) the temples fall. The eye grows dim and strange to alL. Time speeds uwuy, aw»y, away. Like torrents 011 a raiuy day He uitdernitaes the stately tower, ('proofs the tree and suiipis the flower. And sweuus, from out- distracted breast. The frleuds that love, the friends that bleat.

At the time the jolly crowd arrived at the Nickels home the victim of th* surprise was entertaining his little niece with a solo, which came to an abrupt stop when the loud cry of "sur­ prise" greeted his ears.
