Hooter Boat company has just completed and launched the finest passenger boat that has ever traveled the water* ol Fox river. The boat is a 44-footer and is a beauty. It is not only the largest, safest and most beautiful passenger boat o& these waters, but the most speedy as well. It is a well constructed craft and fit­ ted up with all modern conveniences. The interior is finished in quarter sawed oak. It is driven by an eighteen horse power heavy duty Buffalo en­ gine. The engine Is encased in glass. The seating capacity is sixty-five peo­ ple. It is lighted by electricity, has toilet room, six water tight air cham­ bers, fire extinguishers and ample life preservers. The Chicago & Northwestern rail­ road company kas been after Mr. Hunter during the past three years to build a boat of this kind and make regular trips between McHenry and the lakes during the summer months. Mr. Hunter finally consented to do so and has built a boat that is sure a pleasure and comfort to ride in. Beginning with Decoration day the boat will make regular trips between McHenry and the lakes. Two trips will be made every day. The first will be in the morning after the Chicago train gets in and the second after the five o'clock train in the evening. Not only this boat, but two smaller ones as well will be placed into this service, all of which will be in charge of com­ petent hangs. The fare between here and the Bay will be twenty-five cents. The new boat has been named "Gladene." On Tuesday afternoon of this week on invitation from Mr. Hunter twenty of McHenry's business and representa­ tive men enjoyed a ride on the new boat. The boat left the Riverside pier about 3:30 and proceeded south to the dam and thence back to Pistakee Lake and Bay. As the boat reached a point near Eagle Point the engine was closed down. Supper was ready and Chef J. D. Lodtz, with the assistance of cooks, H. Petesch, J. W. Aebischer and L, F. Block, served the hungry crowd with one of the niftiest spreads ever served on board a boat in these parte. After supper a smoker, stories and general talk were indulged in until about seven o'clock, when the blowing of Gabriel's horn told the passengers that everything was in readiness for the return trip. The boat reached the Riverside pier at about 7:30 p. m. The ride was a de­ lightful one and was highly enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to get in on it. Mr. Hunter informs the writer that the boat can be chartered by the day at any time and we will say that a more delightful trip cannot be taken than on the "Gladene." The passen­ gers are assured absolute safety at all times and also that the boat will be in charge of competent hands. Let me sell,you one of the very lat­ est Staver buggies.

A jtygrpriM. Miss Margaret Byss was most pleas­ antly surprised last Monday evening, when upon arriving home about 9:00 o'clock she was greeted by a number of her "mo9t intimate" friends. She soon recovered* from the shock and was not long in seeing that everybody was having a good time. At twelve o'clock the guests were served with delicious refreshments. nfMMM nn Can He Reach Your Home? "IA/HEN a man wants to tell you some- * thing, what does he do.

Every Bell Telephone is a Long Distance Station CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY EXPLOSION OF LAMP CAUSES BURNS. Jacob Worts is confined to his home, suffering from severe burns on his left hand. The victim of the accident was on his way home from Volo in his auto last Friday night when the acci­ dent occurred. While driving along the highway near the Kennebeck farm his lights suddenly went out. The machine had not traveled far before it struck the John Claxton buggy. Mr. Claxton and his daughter, Lelah, were returning home from town, and owing to the fact that the auto was without lights they did not see it coming. Both Mr. Claxton and his daughter received a bad shaking up, but came out of it with only slight injuries. The colli­ sion stopped the motor on the car and it was while the driver was investi­ gating the trouble that the explosion took place. Mr. Worts had taken one of the kerosene lamps from the machine and was looking over the engine when the lamp exploded. He wore a pair of automobile driving gloves and oil ran into the glove with the explosion, and before he could extricate his hand that member had received some very painful burns. Both the front and back of his left hand were very badly burned. Dr. Wells dressed the wounds. It will be some time before Mr. Worts will be able to use the injured hand. PROTECTING SUMMER RESORTERS DECORATION DAY DANCE. A oordial invitation is extended to everyone to attend a Decoration day dance to be held at Smith's hall, Johns- burgh, 111., Wednesday eyening, May 29. A committee composed of Messrs. John J. Lay, Jos. J. Freund and Math. Jungen was appointed to secure funds with which to build a sidewalk al&ng the street leading to the Johnsburgh church and after making a canvass among the residents of Johnsburgh it was found that the donations were not sufficient to carry out the good work and it was decided to give this dance in the hope that the balance needed would be realized therefrom. Every­ one who can possibly arrange to get away should attend this dance. Show yourself to be possessed with the prop­ er spirit by doing this. Every fifty cents will help. A fine time is prom­ ised those who attend the dance. Nett's orchestra of Johnsburgh will furnish the music. Tickets, 50 cents- Fti Rlvar Vallay Camp Entertain*. The members of the Fox River Val­ ley camp, No. 3251, R. N. A., held one of the very best meetings of the year at Woodman hall on Tuesday evening of this week, when a class of new mem­ bers was initiated. The camp has been unusually active during the past few months and the event of Tuesday evening terminated into one of the biggest successes at­ tempted by that body in some time. One of the especially delightful fea­ tures of the event was the floor work of the drill team. Those who were fortunate enough to be present declare that the work was the best ever put on in McHenry. After the candidates had been initi­ ated into the mysteries of the society refreshments, consisting of ice cream and cake, were served, followed by music and dancing. At the close of the event and before returning home the new members as well as the old expressed themselves as highly pleased with the manner in which they had been entertained and hoped that it would not be long before another occasion of the kind could be again enjoyed. HIm C. Ball* Milter a Haataaa. On Saturday of last week Miss C.

Crystal Lake is still to remain a place for summer resorters, notwith­ standing the efforts of the Chicago Ice company to build a -fence about the pond. An injunction has been issued. The injunction, for which the hotel owners, J. D. Leonard and R. S. Burr, petitioned, was granted by Judge John S. "Donnelly, circuit judge of McHenry county, late Satuiday night. The writ restrained the company from con­ structing a fence about the lake and also ordered the ice company to tear down about eighty rods of the fence already in place. Summer resorters and hotel owners, to whom the lake has always appeared as personal property, secured the in­ junction. The company, however, is to take immediate steps in the circuit court at Woodstock to have the in­ junction dissolved.
