OUR WORK WILL PLEASE. The Plaindealer HOUSE SATURDAY NIGHT. Everything is now in readiness for the big wrestling entertainment which will be staged at the Riverside House on Saturday evening of this week. Landlord Gans has spared no pains or expense in booking some of the -very best talent obtainable tor this event and a big turnout is looked for. The wrestling game is something new to our people and up to two weeks ago, when a similar entertainment was pulled off here, little interest was taken in the sport here. Since the show of two weeks ago, however, in­ terest has run to high pitch among the followers of indoor sports in McHenry and vicinity and as a result the man­ agement of next Saturday night's en­ tertainment lias been assured of a good crowd. „ The bout in which our people are mostly interested- will lie between "Red" O'Brien of Woodstock and "Tug1" Wilson of Chicago. These two men have met on the mat once before and on that occasion the Woodstock boy was given the decision by winning the first fall and holdiqjg his man to a draw for the second, the second bout going over an hour without a,, fall "Red" fought it out with Charley Burns of South Dakota last Saturday evening before the Chicago Athletic association in Chicago. On this occa­ sion the two participants fought for over an hour without either one ob­ taining a fall. The second bout on Saturday night will be between Humid Kala Pasha, the Americanized Turk, and Emil Go-' maz of South America. Both men ap­ peared here before and their capabil­ ities on the mat are already known to quite a number of our fans. Mr. Go- maz has also consented to again exhib­ it his powerful strength on this occa­ sion. What promises to be the fastest and most furious battle of the evening will engage Mysterious Waffles and the Mysterious Conductor, both of Chicago. These two giants of the mat are very evenly matched and as they hold but very little love for one another the fans are assured of seeing something worth while when they meet for hon­ ors. Tickets are now on sale and may be obtained at the Riverside House. AWAY AT WOODSTOCK. WOODSTOCK DEFEATS McHENRY. One of the fiercest and most savage­ ly fought basket ball games seen here this season took place at the village hall last Friday evening when the Woodstock and McHenry town teams, clashed for honors. Woodstock has always been represented by a good basket ball team and the team that met our boys last Friday was as clever a combination of players as Woodstock was capable of putting together. The game, right from the very beginning, was fast and furious, with McHenry leading all the way. A few minutes before the elope of the game, with Mc­ Henry still in the lead, Glenn Robi­ son, McHenry's husky center, sprained an ankle and was forced to retire from the game. This loss to the home team proved their undoing and when the whistle sounded the close of the last half it was found that the Typewriter boys were leading by two points, the score standing 30 to 32. The accident to Robison is deeply regretted, not only by his team mates, but by the patrons of the game and the general public. Robison is considered the strodg man on the team and with him out of the game the whole machine is crippled. The boys hope that his in­ jury is not as serious as iirst expected and that he will be around again soon.

Rockwell's Sunny Sooth com­ pany, an organization composed of twenty-five colored people, including some of the cleverest and most versa­ tile performers in their respective lines at present before the American public, will appear in the opera house, McHenry, Saturday evening, January 18. This is said to be one of the strongest, brightest, most complete and capable colored organizations of of the day. It is entirely different from nearly all other colored com­ panies, inasmuch as it is clean to fault and during the entire performance there is not a line nor an action to which exception can be taken. It is presented with a snap and vim which gains popularity and with tuneful music, bright lines, witty dialogue, to­ gether with charming musical num­ bers and excellent specialties, makes it novel and pleasing. The fun which will be handed over the foot-lights is all new and needs no arrow to point the way to the laughs. It is bristling with new, novel and entertaining fea tures and it is brim full of laughable situations, clever vaudeville stunts and amusing comedy. This season Mr. Rockwell claims to have the newest, freshest, most artistic and thoroly equipped colored show ever sent on tour. He backs his claim and arrests public attention by presenting a musi­ cal performance that has more original ideas and up-to-date novelties than any similar organization. It is character­ istic thruout, being a mixture of fun, melody and dancing, consisting of all the features peculiar to the negro in Dixie land, presented by negros of the cultured and educated class, giving a pleasing performance, free from vul­ garity, without any objectionable fea­ tures, and at the same time sparkling with wit and good humor. The organ­ ization is accompanied by a solo con­ cert band and a superb orchestra. The band will head the Koontown pa­ rade, taking place at noon. , The prices of admission have been placed at 25, 35 and 50 cents. Seats are now selling at Petesch's drug store.

He had been in poor health for some time, but his friends had no thought that he was dangerous. S. Raymond, of this village, has re­ ceived a letter from E. Griswold, now of Jackson, Tenn., formerly a resident of this village, which slates that the weather in that section is warm and summerlike, the thermometer ranging from 00 to 80 degrees atiove zero and that plowing is being done every day in that vicinity. This is in marked contrast to the weather here at the present time. NICHOLAS JUSTEN SURPRISED.

The effects of the shock caused thru the unexpected calling of his friends soon vanished and the victim was ready to entertain his friends, which he did in a highly enjoyable manner. After a few hours had been spent in games and various other amusements which go to make up an evening of this kind, refreshments of a delicate nature were served, after which the ^guests depart­ ed for their various homes.
