Mrs. John Powers and family have moved from the farm to the Homer Wattles house on the West Side. We envy the farmer Who resides near McIIenry and who is said to be gathering in 150 eggs each day. In common with all small towns thruout the country, McHenry re­ ceived a large shipment of cata­ logues from Chicago's two mail order houses last week. Some good catches of fish have been reported by local anglers during the past* week. Most of the catches have been made-in the smaller lakes In this locality. 4 Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Stoffel have moved from the Karges cottage in this village to the Dr. N. J. Nye farm near Ringwood, which Mr. Stoffel has rented for the coming year. A chance on a Stoughton wagon with each $10.00 purchase at Cooley's auction sale. The party holding the lucky number will be given the wagon at the conclusion of sale Mr. and Mrs. E. Arnold and son, Ray, of Princess Crossing, near West Chicago, have moved to McHenry and taken up their abode in the Char­ lotte Madden house on Water street A baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Johnson at Waynesville, HI., on Saturday, Feb. 17. He was named George Edwin. Their many friends in McHenry extend congratu­ lations. Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Nellis have vacated the Wattles house on the West Side and are again making their home on the Hanly farm, which was made vacant by Theo. Wagner and family. The Chicago & Northwestern is to provide metal signs sixteen feet square bearing the word "stop" and will place them at all gateless cross­ ings along its lines. The new signs will be up by April 1. The farmers in the vicinity of Mc­ Henry have made firm resolutions that never again will they be forced to pay the high prices for potatoes that now prevail. This means a large planting of spuds this season. E. D. Mischke, who for some time past has been employed at the Bor­ den bottling factory here, has moved from the Parker house on the West Side to Terra Cotta, where he is now employed, having secured his old po­ sition in the factory there. The East Side grocery and market, conducted by L. H. Eisenmenger, is undergoing a thoro interior painting, the work being done by Frank Hovet. A visit to the place convinces even the most fastidious that the propri­ etor believes in cleanliness. While passing along Water street one cannot help but be attracted by the neat, tidy appearance of the east shore o,f Fox river across from the Riverside House. The owners of the property over there evidently are taking more than ordinary pride in their holdings. May the good work continue. The old Tilton house on Elm street, one of McHenry's landmarks, is slowly, but surely, disappearing and will soon be a thing of the past The removal of the place will add greatly to the appearance of the whole street. McHenry's old buildings are gradual­ ly disappearing and a few more years will see the last of them go. In spite of the unusual efforts of the village board to keep the water mains thawed by the use of electric­ ity, some are bursting and causing an overflow on our village streets. The main on Green street, near the brew­ ery corner, blew out Wednesday morning, flooding lawns and base­ ments of some of the private resi­ dences. The supply was shut off while the repair was being made. Soldiers Return One of the largest crowds that ever assembled at the county seat greeted the home-coming soldier boys of Co. G on their return to Woodstock last Wednesday afternoon. The streets, especially those leading to the depot, were literally jammed with people at the time that the special pulled in­ to the station. After alighting from the train that bore them to their old homes after eight months of service down on the Mexican border, the soldier boys, 100 in number, headed by the Woodstock band, marched up Main street, around the square and thence to the armory, where they unloaded their excess baggage. Later they gathered in the Odd Fellows' hall, where a reception and banquet follow. Such an ovation as WAR tendered Co. G is seldom seen' in a town the size of Woodstock.

Over McAllister's WEST McHENRY •THE MOMENT BEFORE" With Pauline Frederick at the Cen- I tral This (Thursday) Evening "The Moment Before," a forth­ coming Famous Players-Paramount photo-drama based upon Israel Zang- will's world-famous play of that name, will be shown at the Central this (Thursday) evening. Pauline Frederick in the stellar role of Madge, a haughty gypsy girl, eclipses herself in this new charac­ terization. The story opens in England. The Duchess and the Duke of Maldon are seen lavishing gifts upon the well-de­ serving poor. While returning home­ ward they pass a church, just as the chimes are tolling the noon hour. The duchess becomes' horror stricken at their peal, as that is the hour which has beert forecast for her death by a fortune teller. The duke comforts her and they again turn toward the mansion. A few days later, while out riding, the duke falls from his horse and dies The duchess, grief stricken over her husband's death, hears the 18th and 21st verses of the 19th chapter of Matthew read at the sermon. Af- febted and overcome by the text she staggers and falls, the chimes tolling the twelve strokes of noon. The gypsy's prophecy comes true, but a moment before her death the past looms up in her terrified mind. She sees herself as Madge, a sneering, flirting gypsy maid. Her husband, John, is at her side as they wind their way thru the forest. His brutality coWers her and she despises his very sight. Two game wardens and Har­ old, the second son of the Duke of Maldon, hear* the shot as John fells a deer! Madge and Harold meet, as John is apprehended; fascination seizes them both. Harold pardons John, and husband and wife depart. harold meets Madge several times, both feeling more interested in each other at each meeting. They are caught While kissing by John. A fight is avoided only,by her keen wits. At Harold's departure, however, she stabs John in the arm and flees. Midge's' steps take her to the man­ sion of Harold, where she is given employment, much to the disapproval of Lionel, the heir to the dukedom. After a fight and flight in which Lionel is killed, John and Madge tafce refuge in Australia. Harold, un­ knowingly, does likewise. They meet and John is killed at the hands of Madge. The two lover:; then make their way to England, wliere they reign jointly oves th^ late duke's vast territories. A distinguished cast, directed by Robert G. Vignola, supports Miss Frederick in the interpretation of this appealing drama, which has been pro­ duced in Florida, the scenic beauties of which enhance the dramatic and pictorial qualities of' this splendid screen offering. PISTAKEE BAY Jacob R. Justen is confined to his home with a severe cold or grip. Mrs. Christ Blake was very sick with pneumonia, but is better now. Bob Glover of Chicago visited witb Will Adams a few days last week. Jacob Miller is doing some repair­ ing on the William Small house at Pistakee Bay. ' " Miss Elsie Mertes of Pistakee Bay is spending the week as the guest of Chicago friends.
