Ninety-seven dance tickets were dis­ posed'of at the leap year harvest dance given by the members of the Just Us club at Stoffel's hall last' "Saturday evening. The hall was prettily as well as most appropriately decorated for the occasion, corn stalks, autumn leaves and pumpkins being used for this purpose. This makes the third leap year dance that this club has given this ye^r eacl1 and every one qf them has proven a big success, npt only socially, but financially a§ Well. crqwd of last Saturday night was ma^e up of the very best young people of McHenry and the sur? rounding territory and all present en* joyed the event to the fullest Extent. The music was furnished by Walsh's Chicago orchestra and to say the least it was great. The young ladies served orangeade to their guests. As pre­ viously stated, this makes the third successful dance that has been given by these young ladies this year and they now have a. neat balance left in their treasury. What they will do with the money has not yet been de­ cided, altho some are in favor of do­ nating same to some charitable insti­ tution. They may decide to give it to the Fox River Navigable Waterway association--maybe. The moving pictures at the Central are the latest and best. All seats 10c on Saturday of this week.

[.Woodstock Seutiuel.l Last Monday Swen Mellin, the genial host at Bald Knob hotel, Pistakee Bay, brought to Woodstock and presented to F. G. Arnold the finest specimen of the finny tribe that has probably ever been seen in this city. The fish was of the sturgeon tribe, over four feet long and was caught in Pistakee Bay, off from Mr. Mellin's hotel. As this tribe is a stranger to the waters of Pistakee it is presumed that the fish must have worked his way there from some of the larger waters to which Pistakee and the Fox river are tribu­ tary and there is much speculation among old residents at the Bay wheth­ er tliei* are perhaps more of the trtbfj in the waterg Uigrfl.

It is believed that a gang of thieves have' their headquarters somewhere near Lake Zurich. Hebron has never seen as many squirrels as are to be found around that town this fall. Local fisherman at Lake Gehe„va en­ gaged in a friendly fishing contest last Saturday and Sunday. At the present time there are forty- seven males and thirty-six females at the Lake county j>oor farm. Another horse was stolen at Grays- lake last Sunday. This makes eight that have been stolen in that vicinity within two weeks Waukegau and North Chicago ex­ pect to add three hundred new homes to their respective cities during the next twelve months. Patrons of the Grayslakc condensed milk factory will receive $1.75 per hundred for milk delivered during the month of November. At a special election held at Round Lake last week Tuesday it was voted to issue a bond of $25,000 for the pur­ pose of installing a system of water works. Those Round Lake citizens surely are progressive. While out to dinner one day last week the dental office of a Barrington doctor was entered and relieved of $50 worth of gold. It is thought that the theft was committed by a stranger and that he made his getaway on a noon day train. Billy Gordon of Hebron has recently disposed of a large heap of scrap iron to a Chicago buyer, for which he re­ ceived $4,000. The heap of iron has been an eyesore for three years and the citizens of that village are glad to see same removed. The United Gas and Electric com­ pany has its big gasoline ditcher at Marengo and will commence at once the work of extending the gas mains from that city to Huntley, passing thru Union. The work w|ll be hurtled as rapidly as possible. Wellington Van Slyck of Lake Qep- eva, Wis., who is t^e possessor of a wireless telegraph app^r^tus, caught the message frqm M^wftukee tq Ch| cago announcing the attempt on the life of Theo. Roosevelt. The young man, altho not making a livelihood out of his wireless system, spends most of his spare time in studying and working with it. It was while he was studying the apparatus on the even­ ing of October 14 that he received the important message above mentioned. North Crystal Lake Herald: L. I). Lowell has built an up-to-date dairy barn on his farm northeast of Crystal Lake. It. is completely equipped w ith modern facilities, such as ventilation, light, swivel stanchions and cement floor. Mr. Lowell made the foundation of gravel and cinders and then insert­ ed a layer of tar paper between this and the cement floor. This makes a non-conductor and practically renders the floor as warm as a plank bottom. This is only one of many instances of farm buildings that are being built to meet the demands of modern dairying. An old sale bill which was handed a southern pajier recently for publica­ tion, and we copy same, was printed in Missouri sixty-four years ago, and there are some items mentioned there­ in that would draw jh crewd even at this late day. It reads as follows: "State of Missouri, county of Hke. To whom it m^y concern: ^<he under­ signed will, Tuesday- September 2^, JH4-H, sell at public outcry, for cash, on premise^ where Coon creek crosses on Missouri road, tl*e following chattels, ^o-wit: Six vpfce Qf uxeq with yoke iUid chain, two wftgops w'jtyh beds, four buck niggers, three nigger wenches, three nigger boys, five prairie plows, 3") steel traps, one barrel pickled Oab* bage, one hogshead of uibaooo, one lot nigger hoes, a spinning wheel, one loom, three fox hounds, a lot of ooon, mink and skunk hides and a lot of other articles. Am going to C»lifor« nia. Free headoheese, apples and hard oider." Farmers of Grundy oounty are pur­ chasing several farms in McHenry county. Altho Grundy oounty Is only sixty miles south, it is said that the prevailing price of land in McHenry county is considerably lower. Chas. F. Miller, who bought the Chas. Pierce farm of 158 acres in Alden, following his disposition of his 80 acre farm in Dunham to* Geo. Goodyear, has sold the farm onto which he moved last spring, the buyer being Henry Cole, a resident of Mazon, Grundy county. The selling price is not (^iscIoj}£$, Uut it represent^ ft substantial advance above that paid for it by Mr. Miller and it is undei"stood to be in the neigh­ borhood of $22,000 for the 158 acres. Mrs. Johnson Fink, owner of an 80 acre farm one half mile east of Alden village, has sold the place to a Maaon resident also in the person of Andrew Johnson, who pay^ ®1^P acre, o^. $10,400 for the aft Jtfsres. Possession in both Instances will be jfiven next ¥v?h, SAMUEL ALSHULER OF CHICAGO TALKS TO BIG GATHERING HERE. That Samuel Alshuler's popularity hasn't dwindled any during the past twenty years was clearly demonstrated at the Central opera house last Friday evening when a large crowd greeted this distinguished gent at that place. The man who last spring aspired for the Democratic nomination of govern­ or of the state of Illinois, with Thos. H. Riley of Joliet, Democratic candi­ date for congress from this district, arrived in McHenry on the 4:45 train on Friday evening and were met at the station by a delegation of McHen­ ry's stanch Democrats. The two vis­ itors were driven to the Riverside House, where a six o'clock dinner was served. The meeting at the Central opera house was opened shortly after 8:15 p. m. with a musical selection by the Central opera house orchestra. T. J. Walsh was honored with the chair­ manship of the meeting and after a few remarks introduced Thos. H. Riley pf Joliet. Mr. Riley, to the surprise of those gathered, chose as his subject, "Water Transportation and Power." He be­ gan his talk by telling the gathering that he intended speaking on a subject that was seldom chosen at a meeting of this kind and one that was given but very little attention by the press of the United States. He started off by describing a trip he had taken in Europe some time ago and water trans­ portation as he found it in Ireland, England, Germany and other countries of Europe. He informed the audience that every country that he had visited surpassed the United States in water transportation and power, which clear­ ly showed the necessity of our coun­ try's immediate attention in that direc­ tion. He also told of the great things Canada was doing in the way of water transportation and power. While his talk was quite dull to mnny it surely is a mighty good subject- This one subject took up the speaker's entire time and ptit onpe while he occupied the platform did he mention his candi­ dacy. Pftrt of the audience would never have known that he was a can­ didate for office had not Mr. Alshuler told them so later on- Mr. Alshulev was the next speaker and gave the audience one of the very best political talks that has been lis­ tened to in McHenry in some time. As was only to be expected his talk was on tariff and trusts. The speaker made his talk more in­ teresting by sort of localizing same. He opened up by saying that twenty years had elapsed since his last polit­ ical speech in McHenry. He told of the many changes that he noticed in and about the village during the past two decades. He also recalled some of the old characters of the village, in which he mentioned old Hank McLean, who was one of the leading lights in McHenry in a j)olitical way in those days. After a short preliminary he started in on his political speech and during the hour or more that he spoke we dare say that he covered every point and covered it well. Thruout his speech he pictured the United States as a very/isick country and intimated that the only hope of recap,very would be thru a change of dojators- He told how Drs. Roosevelt and Taft had taken, charge of the patient and i,nstea4 pf grpwing better it has grown s^ead^JC worse until today a, ^hange of ^optp/TS. is absolutely qeoesgary. He wen1 pyef Vh.e van" ^uesttea quite thoipoly, as yfeU W the trusts. He de^recl tt^t a phftnge of adminis­ tration cqqld not be wore ol n failure tl^an the present *n<\ thought it was tln^e for ^ change- He played Woqdrow Wilson as a sure winner at the ooming national elec­ tion and also hoped that the people of McHenry and vicinity would help eleot ftdward F. Dunne as governor of Illi­ nois, He pictured the Democratic oandidate for the offloe of governor as honest and efficient. At the close of his speech Mr. Wm. Stoffel of this plaoe made a few re­ marks and the meeting oame to a close. K, OF C. ELECT OFFICERS. At the regular monthly meeting of the Knights of Columbus held at Stof­ fel's hall last Thureday|eveningofficers for the ensuing year were elected and other matters of importance were taken care of.

HOWE OF THIS VILLAGE-RESIDED AT RING WOOD FOR MANY YEARS. CORN CONTEST A com ^mtept SOfcial will take S>lape in th,e Href eld school on Thurs lay evening, October 31. A good time is promisifed. All are invited. Adv Anna M. Stocî , Teacher. Moving pictures at the Central opera bouse on el th4» week. Adv >n Gilbert Howe, brother of E. W. Howe of this village, and who for many years was a resident of Ring- wood, passed away at his late home in Kalamazoo county, Michigan, on Oct. 12, 1912. J*he deceased was born at Danville, Green county, Vermont, on January 18, 1850, making him 62 years, 8 months and 24 days of age at the time of his death. When a boy of ten or twelve years of age he came to Illinois wittf his parents and with the exception of the last two years he spent most of his life in McHenry county. He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Hannah Harrison. Three sons were born to this union, Edson, John and Floyd. John passed from this life less than ten months ago, his death occurring at his father's home in Michigau. His first wife passed away on January 23, 1894. On September 27, 1897, the subject of this sketch was united to Miss Millie Kop- sel. To this union four children were born, as follows: Lena, Edith, Lizzie and Warren. Lizzie and Edith passed away in infancy, leaving his wife, three sons and one daughter to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father. Mr. Howe was one of nature's noble­ men, being upright, honest, large hearted and generous to a fault. No one in trouble ever appealed to him in vain. No matter to w hat inconvenience it might have put him he would try to help those who asked for his assistance. His neighbors both in Illinois and Michigan had oome to feel that if there was anything they were in need of they had but to ask him for it and their requests were granted if such were possible. Everyone who knew him was his friend and had a good word for "Gill," as he was commonly known. This means much in these days when every­ one is pushing and striving for him­ self. He was not a man who hoard­ ed up wealth for the future. Money was to him to purchase the comforts and wants of life in this world for his wife and family and those in need. No father could ever try to make life easier than did £e. Giving pleasure and enjoyment to the family was his motto at all times. His home was al­ ways open to the young people of the community and every effort was made by him to make things pleasant and enjoyable for all. When he moved to Michigan the people of Ringwood and vicinity felt that they had lost a good neighbor. During the short stay in Michigan he had won, thru his kind, generous ways, the respeot of all who knew him. Men like Edson Gilbert Howe pould not be spared from any community without regret by those who remem­ bered him. He w$s a good, moral man. His daily life and example were such that h^s three sons grew to man­ hood |n his home without one vicious habit, no tobacco nor intoxicating liquors being allowed, in the honaev His neighbors respected, him and his family adored him,. M^y his sons so live that wheJj, they pass to the great beyopd will have a record as <M> that of their father. Xb® bpdy was shipped to Ringwood, from which place the funeral was held last week Tuesday• The funeral was very attended, theorowded churoh s*nd many ^ara^oontrihutions from rel­ atives and friends were evidence of the high esteem in which he was held. Mr. and Mrs. T- J. Walsh of McHenry furnished the muaio, while Rev. Col­ lins of Greenwood was the officiating clergyman. Ett. Wesson, Geo. Harnsten, E. C. Barnard, Wm. Walkington, Ed.

The children of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Buss of Terra Cotta tendered their parents a very pleasant surprise last Sunday, the occasion being their thir­ ty-seventh wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Buss, totally unprepared for the occasion, were given quite a shock when the children called at the family home at about the noon hour last Sun­ day. After reminding the surprised ones of their anniversary, the gather­ ing set out to enjoy the day in an appropriate manner. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. George Buss and children, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Conway and children, Mr. and Mrs. George Wegener and Mr. and Mrs. Philip Huffman. A most pleasant day was passed. A NARROW ESCAPE. Miss Rose Althoff of Johnsburgh narrowly escaped a severe aocident here on Tuesday of this week. She was driving up Green street when one of the bolts in the thills gave way, allowing the thills to drop and strike the horse's heels. The young lady succeeded in keeping the frightened horse in the road until at a point near Leickem's saloon, where the buggy wheels struck the water hydrant. The sudden jar tore the thills from the buKJfy and the horse ran to Barbian Bros.' oigar factory, where it slipped and fell on the cement walk just as it was about to dash into the building. Aside form a bad scare the young lady suffered no ill effects from her exper­ ience. RIVERVIEW CAMP ENTERTAINS.
