Schwartz of the Re­ liable Play Producers (faac.) announces the ooming of the beautiful musical comedy "The Kissing Princess" at the Central opera house on Wednesday evening, August 14. The scenes of this attraction are laid in one of the provinces of Bagdad, wher^the shah, of Bagdad is coming to claim the prin­ cess for bis wife. The princess has never seen the shah and when the American appears on the scene he is taken for the shah. The American is in this country for excitement and decides to bluff his way thru. At this point the real shah appears and is laughed at by his subjects. It is here that the plot is stirred up, and tho it only takes five minutes to stir it up it takes two and one-half hours to cook to a well done point. Along with the music and stage full of pretty little girlies are the general and the army of Bagdad. These two roles are filled by two clever comedians, Mr. Lew Rose and Mr. Mack O'Neil, who keep the house on the happy side of life continually. Seats are selling very rapidly for this engagement.

Ben never undertakes to do a thing unless he can do it up right and on this occasion the public is assured of an exceptionally interesting race with a long list of entries, and the boat owners are as­ sured of a square deal and a good time. For further information watch these columns next week. NEW ADDITION TO McHENRY. A new addition to McHenry will be opened at once.

Mead is the first to invest, hav­ ing already purchased ground in the new addition. Mr. Mead intends to build a new home this fall. Others are ready to purchase and from the present outlook a building boom in that end of town is not an uncertainty. McHENRYITES ALSO GIVEN CREDIT.

It was a very large, perfect pearl and buyers came to Batavia a few days ago and paid him the above named price. According to the Marengo Republi­ can-News, the rumor circulated in the base ball world that Carl Lundgren's right arm had failed him is untrue, as he is winning his games right along, and is the star twirier for the Hart­ ford ball club. Two young ladies of Beloit, Wis., recently walked from that city to Wal­ worth, a distance of twenty-seven miles in nine hours, an average of three miles an hour. This included stops for dinher and supper and, an occasional rest on the highway. Schuyler Bundy of Lake Geneva, the second male child born in that city, was seventy-two years old last Tues­ day. He has lived in Lake Geneva all his life.

Harvard Herald: Thursday and Fri­ day, Sept. 26 and 27, have been chosen as the dates for the annual carnival by the business men of Harvard.

The first Roman Catholie service ever held in Dundee took place at Union hall Sunday morning, at 8:15 o'clock, under the supervision of Fath­ er J. Lonergan of Crystal Lake. There are between fifty and seventy-live ad­ herents of the faith in Dundee and Carpentersville who have heretofore gone to Elgin for service, and for the accommodation of this number these services will be held every Sunday. The retired or superannuated preach­ er, who has stock and bonds or an in­ come from any source of over 1600 a year, will be prevented from receiving anv monev contributed by the Metho­ dists of the Rock River conference for the support of its retired ministers un­ til after means of comfortable support have been given to all who are ia need, according to a plan adopted at the Des Plaines camp meeting. The plan of having a county tuber­ culosis sanitorium at Libertyville is being considered by the Lake county board of supervisors and a committee has been appointed to investigate the feasibility of such a plan. Supervisor Eger of Libertyville is one of those who thinks that the plan would prove a good one. A recently passed state law gives the board of supervisors the authority to erect and maintain such a sanatorium as a public institution. BIG CROWD AT DANCE. Nearly seventy couples attended th<? dance at Staffers hall last Saturday night.

After the parade, which skirted the lake and bay, all of the members of the Pista­ kee Yacht club, together with the vis­ itors, took part in the cotillion which did not come to an end until the mid­ night hour. This feature of the Vene­ tian night event also proved a most delightful affair and the crowd was an unusually gay one. At the close of the cotillion the evening was voted as one of the most pleasurable ones that the Bay has ever experienced. Much of the success of the cotilion is due to the efforts of the floor manager, Mr. Wm. Law ton, who had the capable assistance of Mrs. Harry Hoff and Miss Florence Edelman. Thus Venetian night of 1912 will go down in the history of the Pistakee Yacht club as the very best ever held. - % ^ We clean anything In wearing ap­ parel for ladies and gents.
