Wentr woztb bere, WILL MeHENRY OBSERVE THE DAY A8 OTHERS DOT With Memorial day bat one' week away McHenry, so far as we are able to learn, has done nothing towards mulHng arrangements to observe the day. It seems to fchewriter that Memorial day has not been given the attention that it deserves from our people and we believe that our people should take more interest and see that proper ob­ servance is made on that occasion. During the past few years Decoration day services in McHenry have been very poorly attended. Last year McHenry had the honor of having one of the brightest young speakers of Chioago as the orator of the day and the attendance was noth­ ing to boast of. What are thepeople of McHenry go­ ing to do this year in regard to observ­ ing the day? The old soldiers, who in former years took such an active part in seeing that the day was properly observed, are rapidly being called away. Here in McHenry the old soldiers are very few and it is now time that the younger generation take hold and see to it that the day is observed as it should be. The younger generation, especially the sons of veterans, should get busy and do so at once. The writer belongs to this class and he is perfectly willing to assist in every way possible in making Memorial day of this year a day to be remembered. We are willing to do our share towards defraying expenses of engaging a good speaker for the day and a hall if neces­ sary. We would like to have some of the others come forward and assist us in this work. We do not know of a great­ er deed that can be accomplished by the sons of veterans that to take hold of this matter and see that the day does pot go by unobserved in McHenry. It is also our claim that every busi­ ness house in town should be closed during the two hours that the exer­ cises are being held. Will the people of McHenry, sons of veterans and business men help the good cause along and lend their assist­ ance in making arrangements for the observance of the day?' Don't fail to see Miss Delancey Jones and her ward, Tildie, in "The Masonic Ring" at th?' Central opera house Sat­ urday evening, May 25. KNIGHTS TO LAKE GENEVA. The members of the McHenry coun­ cil, Knights of Columbus, have been extended an invitation to go to Lake Geneva next Sunday, where a large class will be given the three degrees. Lake Geneva has never had a council and those who have charge of the ini­ tiation give out the information that the people of the Badger city are pre­ paring to show the visitors one grand time. Quite a number of the McHen­ ry council are planning to attend. An elegant banquet will follow the work. The Lake Geneva people have already chartered a special train which will carry the visitors home after the ban­ quet. The train will run as far as El­ gin and McHenry Knights are thus afforded a grand opportunity to take in the doings and get home on the spe­ cial train. The Harvard team will put on the first degree, Beloit the second nLt .* - • • -«uu vuicojv tnt? tnira. WO PIOKE MAT Bill KATHRYN BOSS ANff-GEOK® WEGENER ART UNITED | *. L. PATRICK DEAD. ' Mrs. S. L. Patrick passed away at her home at Chandler, Okla., on April 25 last. Mrs. Patrick was well and favorably kiiown to many of The Plain- dealer readers, as she has spent many summers at the family cottage at Pis­ takee Bay. Mrs. Patrick was taken seriously ill while at the cottage last summer and her departure was looked for at that time. She recovered from this illness and when the family left the Bay last fall for their winter home In Oklahoma the deceased had appar­ ently recovered. The news of her death was received with the deepest regret by her friends here. HAY DANCE. A cordial invitation , is extended to everyone to be present at a May dance to take place at Stoffel's hall next Sat­ urday evening, May 25.

BuM-Watfwafer. Otto of the most interesting wed- ings of'the spring and summer season was solemnized' at St. Patrick's Cath­ olic ohureh in this village at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning of last week, when Miss Kathryn A. Buss be­ came the wife of Mr. George J. Weg­ ener, the knot being tied by Rev. A. Royer. The couple was attended by Miss Theresa Buss, sister to the bride, and Miss Elizabeth Wegener, sister of the groom, and Messrs. Phillip Huffman of North Crystal Lake and John Weg­ ener, brother of the groom. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of cream colored imported French cash­ mere trimmed in Irish lace. She wore a veil, which was held in place with lilies of the valley. An uncle of the bride who resides in California had sent her some real orange blossoms which she had intended to wear ip place of the lilies of the valley, but the blossoms were in a state of deeay when they reached her. She also car­ ried a bridal bouquet of roses. The sister of the bride wore a gown of blue euloin, while Miss Wegener was dressed in white embroidery over pink. Both bridesmaids carried white carnations. High mass followed the wedding ceremony. A reception was tendered the happy pair at the home of the bride's parents at Terra Cotta. The reception was attended by only the immediate members of the two fam­ ilies. The couple received many costly as well as beautiful gifts from admiH ing relatives and friends during the day. In the evening a wedding dance was enjoyed at Buch's hall in this village, which was quite largely attended. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Buss, highly respect­ ed citizens of Terra Cotta. She has spent her entire life in McHenry and the immediate vicinity, where she has a large circle of admiring friends. She is a young woman possessed with all the qualifications that go to make up the model American housewife. The groom is the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Wegener, who reside east of this village. He is a young man possessed with energy and thrift. During the past year or so he has con­ ducted a farm owned by his brother and is classed among the most promising young faarmers of this vicinity. The couple went to housekeeping at once on the farm and are now at home to their friends. Congratulations. Rtnn-ibrlkMi. Witnessed by only the members of the immediate families and a few friends, the marriage of Miss Anna Meyers, youngest daughter of Mrs. Eva Meyers of this village, and Mr. Emory Herdklotz, only son of Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Herdklotz of Woodstock, was solemnized at St. Mary's Catholic church here at high noon on Tuesday of this week. Rev. A. Royer officiat­ ed. The wedding march was played by the church organist, Sister Ancilla. The bride was attended by her older sister, Kathryn, of Chicago, while Isa­ dora Feffer acted as best man. The bride was charmingly attired in a tan suit with hat to match. Her sister wore a gray suit. Immediately after the ceremony the couple, with the members of their respective families, gathered at the home of the bride's mother on North Green street where a sumptuous wed­ ding dinner was served them. During the afternoon the couple were taken to Crystal Lake by auto, where they boarded a Chicago train. The bride is regarded as one of Mc­ Henry's fairest daughters. She has made this village her home during the past several years and up until a short time ago was employed by the Chica­ go Telephone company at their local exchange as an operator. She is a young woman of many pleasing per­ sonalities and has an extensive ac­ quaintance. The groom is not a stranger here, as he has missed very few Sunday vis­ its to this village in the past two years. He is an employe of the Oliver-Type­ writer factory at Woodstock, where he holds a good position. He is a popular young man and has many friends both in his home city and in this village. The couple, after a short honeymoon, will be at home to their friends at 222 South street, Woodstock, after June 1. Congratulations. COMING. Dr. J. J. Sehaefer of Elgin, eye sight specialist, will be in Mc­ Henry on Friday, May 24, at Dr. Chamberlin, the dentist's office. Spec­ tacle* and aye glasses accurately fitted. All work guaranteed.

Another of the old-time settlers of McHenry passed away in the person of John Walsh. Mr. Walsh was born in Ardriston oounty, Carlow, Ireland, on June 24, 1821. In 1858 he was married to Mary Pender in his native l£nd. Thirteen years later, in October, 1871, he landed With his family in New York and im­ mediately came to Chicago. His first sight of the metropolis of Illinois was anything but encouraging, for the city was still a smoldering mass of ruins. Its charred houses and houseless in­ habitants appealed not at all to the exile from the green hills of Ireland. He betook himself to Lake county, where he stayed only a short time, finally settling in McHenry, the spot of his choice, in 1872. Those who knew Mr. Walsh inti- AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF 00R MANY EXCHANGES. f MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OP NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE.

She was washing with a gaso­ line driven washing machine when her hair caught in the belt. Her scalp and one ear was torn off and she suf­ fered bruises so that it was necessary to take her to the Colonial hospital at Geneva. Her scalp was taken to the hospital with Mrs. Hall and sewed in place, but the flesh would not knit and it fell off. Now skin is to be taken from Mrs. Hall's body and laid in min­ ute pieces on the top of her head in the hope that they will grow there, eventually spreading into a new cover­ ing for the skull.

Of a sturdy and upright character, he could always be counted on to be on the right side in any question that involved the rights of his fellow man. He might not have been considered great in the eyes of those for whom money and honors alone constitute greatness, but in the eyes of men whose outlook on life is deeper and more correct his ninety-one years of faithfulness to duty, both civic and re­ ligious, constitute a record that many of the men the world calls great can­ not produce. He leaves an honored and an honorable name to his children. Four sons and two daughters mourn his loss: M.

Suleeba, who appeared at the Uni- versalist church here on Sunday and Tuesday evenings of this week, missed something real good. Dr. Suleeba comes from the ancient city of Ninevah, Asia, and his lectures, especially that of Tuesday evening, were the most in­ teresting as well as intelligent that McHenry people have listened to in many a day. On Tuesday evening the speaker used as his topic "The Devil and the Turk," and before he got any­ where near thru with his story we doubt if there was a man, woman or child in the audience who was sorry that they were there. The doctor is a very forceful talker and told his audi­ ence about his country, its people and their ways in a manner that brought an attentive ear from all present. On Tuesday morning the doctor visited our public school, where he spoke to the children. Should the doctor ever return to McHenry we bespeak for him a packed house. An elegant line of Staver buggies and Northwestern truck wagons are now being shown by. Math. Freund. Call and see him. 43 FIGHTING BAD FOR THE EYES. Between the midnight hour last Sat­ urday night and two o'clock on Sunday morning a few McHenryites straight­ ened out their differences with a bunch of Woodstock lads. It was nec­ essary to call Dr. Wells on the job soon after the smoke of battle had cleared the fields. The Woodstock boys, we are told, were pretty well chalked up, while one or two of the local men also went home with some dandy look­ ing trade marks. This fighting busi­ ness sure is a bad thing for the eyes. I am agent for the Staver buggies and would like to explain the merits of this buggy to you. Math. Freund, MoHenry, 111. It appointed assistant pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal ohureh at DeKalb. The villages of North Crystal Lake and Crystal Lake, in conjunction, have purchased an oil wagon, and within a week it is proposed to oil the principal streets in both villages. Harvard is thinking of abandoning a Fourth of July celebration and in its stead centralize all plans on a big car­ nival to be held two or three days in late August or early September. M. D. Hoy of Woodstock died last Wednesday evening after an illness of but a few days. He was more than ninety years of age and his name stood for the highest integrity and virture wherever known. The village of Antioch has voted for a|pnd issue of 95,000 for the purpose of bidding a new village hall. It will be of blocks and brick, two stories high and basement. The upjier story will be used as a dwelling for the village marshal. Amil Vorpagel, the miller at Lyons, Wis., has had to shut down the mill three times during the past week on account of the big fish getting caught in the wheel. The wheel would not turn and the only remedy was to stop and dig the monster fish out by hand. Qeo. Backus, owner of the forty- acre tract of land in Dunham and only a half a mile from Harvard, has re­ cently refused an offer of $200 an acre for the place, which is without a soli tary building and is in nowise improved, but being in a high state of cultiva­ tion. The latest thing in condensing is a new process put in operation by the Walworth Condensing factory where in addition to the making of powdered milk they now make powdered butter­ milk.

Little calves sold as high as $65, while common prices for the day's sale ranged as high as $260 and $275. B. F. Kinder of DesPlaines narrowly escaped serious injury, and possible death, on Tuesday of last week when a stray bullet struck him in the head on the right side just above the cheek bone. Mr. Kinder was standing at his desk reading when a bullet came ziz- zing into the store and imbedded itself in his head. Besides being a contributor of short stories to various magazines, Roy L. Kittle of Crystal Lake is a dramatist with a future. In a contest held in Evanston, where Mr. Kittle has been attending Northwestern university, his play, "The Senator From Illinois," was accepted after several other efforts from various authors had been reject­ ed. The play will be presented in Evanston on Monday evening, June 10. William Deshane, a tinner in the employ of William H.
