It took Dundee less than a Week to tire of the new time and as a result the hands of the time pieces in that . city have been turned back. ' Seventeen residents of 'Richmond and vicinity, twelve men and five women, took a trip to the clouds in an airplant which visited that village recently. Ninpty par cent of the farmers of Wauconda tofriiship last we^ became members of the Lake County Farm Bureau and Illinois Agricultural association. Grayslake's new ice cream factory is having trouble in getting its supply of cream with which to make the frox- - en delicacy, thus limiting the output at the plant. The Wauconda. stores will close at 1:80 p. m. to remain closed for the balance of the day on Thursday afternoon of each week during the months of July and August. Marengo's new overall factory will be located in the Piper building in that city and it is expected that same will 7 begin operations within ^he course of the next two or three weeks.

Trap shooting which was aben doned there soim> years ago, is to be revived in Lake .county. A gun club has been organized at Waukegan, which is already planning a new club house and the holding of target shoots ' in that city. A 4.7 howitzer cannon, si? feet long, together with a carriage weighing in all 11,000 pounds, now occupies an imposing site at Lake Front park, T^if« Geneva.

Randall of Wis' ronsln Work on the construction of a $10 000,000 Catholic college at Lake Era, near Area, Lake county, was started last Week. Carloads of material are arriving almost daily. The colwill be the most complete and iargest of its kind in the United States and will be under the jurisdiction of the diocese of Chicago with Archbishop Mundelein in control. Lightning struck the smoke stack ea the Borden plant at Manwigo durt* g an electrical storm one day last cspoek and rain coming down thru the shattered chimney put out the«firee in the boilers, thus suspending operations at the plant until the repairs had been guide. A number of the workmen were severely dazed by the shock, but no one was seriously injured. jphe first of a series of ten-days' conferences opened at the Lake Geneva Y. M. C.

Edward Berthold performing the ceremony. Miss Anna Salzmann, sister of the groom, and George May, cousin of the bride, attended the couple. The bride and her attendant were attired in suits of blue serge, wore hats to match and carried bouquets of bridal rosea. After the ceremony a sumptuous wedding breakfast was served the bridal party and the immediate families of the pair at the home of the bride's parents in this village*. The bride of this happy union is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mathias Baur of this village. During the past three years she has resided at Woodstock, where she has been employed at the Oliver. typewriter factory. She possesses a faculty of Shaking friends and her ever pleasing manners have served to endear her to it host of admirers both in McHenry and vicinity as well as Woodstock. . . The groom is the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Salzmann of Woodstock and for years has been a faithful employe -at the Oliver typewriter factory in that city. He is a young man of high integrity* and is greatly esteemed by a large following of friends in the Typewriter city. After a short honeymoon thru 'the Dells of Wisconsin the newly weds will be at home to their friends at Woodstock, where the best wishes of their many friends will follow BIG ENTERTAINMENT TO HE SO&B NttT SATURDAY AFTERNOON AT MCTMM Offers Seme Site*---Year Sub-Divlaien Exceptional BatKag Opportunity An auction sale, that should be of unusual importance to prospective owners of river property, especially city folks, will take place at two o'clock next Saturday afternoon, June 26. Eighty-four lots in the#Edgewater sob-division, owned by J; C. Holly of this village, and located a short distance south of the Fox river bridge, will be placed under the hammer on terms that are exeeedihgly attractive. There is also an opportunity for from one to four of the buyera to obtain a lot absolutely free of charge and this feature should attract many buyers. Access to the river is obtainable from the sub-division, thus giving the purchasers an opportunity to enjoy this beautiful stream the same as those owning lots adjacent thereto. The site itself is a most desirable one and buyers will probably never again be offered such an opportunity to purchase choice building sites at their own price.

Wells on Tuesday of this week, where six operations were performed on that day. The specialist arrived on the morning train and worked until atxjut nine o'clock that evening. Dr. Joyce is not a sLi anger to our people as he has made nnmer ous visits to this village in the past and thus far each and every operation performed by him in McHenry has proven entirely satisfactory W «®e ceesful. * Clean Up Creek # The village board again comae in foT favorable comment. This time it is for the cleaning of the old mill race creek, which for many years has not only been an eyesore, but a detriment to the health of those residing in the vicinity. Last week George Meyers was engaged to clean up the stream and its bank, with the eesult that a clean, unobstructed flow of water BOW finds its way from the pond to the river via this channel. May Get Oil Soea Mayor J. O. Olson informs us that he has had recent word to the effect that McHenry may expect her street oil at any time. In fact, oAe message stated that the oil had been shipped. This is indeed good news and our people sincerely hope that the oil will arrive and be applied to our streets before the Fourth. Took In Claae ef Candidates A class of candidates were taken in at the regular meeting of Riverview camp, R. N. A., at the hall on Tuesday evening of this week. After closing the meeting in regular form a couple of hours were passed at cards, followed by the serving of reireshmepts. * John £. Wightmaa John E. Wightmanr of Chenoa, OL, who, with his family, has passed the summer months at his cottage at Pis takee Bay, passed away at his late home on June 13. The deceased was a brother to the late H. E.

Bonslett of this village, was struck by a street car at Waukegan last Sunday afternoon and quite seriously injured Mrs. Bonslett, while their son, Anthony, was also considerably bruised about the arm. Besides the three people adready mentioned, Alfred Bonslett, rfhother son, now stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Training station, and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Dowe of Waukegan were occupants of the car at the time. The accident occurred in front of the Marion street baseball grounds in that city about 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Bonslett was following Another car, which was just about to enter the gates leading into the park when the engine in the other car "died," thus forcing the McHenry man to back his car out onto the street car tracks, ami sooner than it takes to tell it an approaching street car had struck the ocal car with such force as to severely injure Mrs.. Bonslett and cause bruises to the arm of her son. Luckily hone of the passengers were thrown out, altho the rear of the Bonslett car was very badly damaged. Evidently the motorman on the street car failed to see the auto on the track in time to bring his car to * iujLL stop. May BaHd New Church Wt. Patrick's Catholic congregation in this village has experienced such a growth within the last three years that a point has now been reached where the old edifice must be enlarged or a new one built. Many of the parishioners have been heard to ex press themselves in favor of a new church edifice and reports also have it that in case the pastor and his flock decide on building they may count on quite a number of new families joining the congregation as well as lending their moral and financial assistance. Those who are favoring such a move believe this to be an opportune to start a movement for i mw structure. * The Variety Club Mr. and Mrs. George A. Stilling wry pleasantly entertained the members of the Variety club at five hundred at their home on Waukegan street on Tuesday evening of this week. First honors were awarded to Mrs. P. M. Justen and Chas. J. Reihansperger, while Mrs. C. J. Reihansperger and S. S. Rogers came in for the consolations. Dainty refreshments wer^ served following the card games, * "You heard that John is dead I suppose, Bill." "John dead! John who?" "Why John Barleycorn of course. You heard about his funeral didn't you?" "Oh, I see what you getting at now. L reckon I did hear about his death. I've seen several death notices around McHenry here since he passed away." "That so? I've been noticing a few myself. The first one I noticed was when the old 'Welcome Home" sign wa3 pulled down and they started selling real merchandise in that part of town. And then they started selling food and clothes and shoes and all the necessities of life in the flats that John used to occupy. Finally I noticed that John's birthplace, the brewery, was being converted into an oil depot and I said under my hrfath, 'Yes, I guess John is dead.' " "Say, it was a knock out «Wow that the supreme court handed him the other day. Yes, that's when he kicked his last kick and drew his last breath --he's dead." "Yes and Pete you know a lot of us were afraid that if John should die McHqnry might as well give up the ghost v as well. We were foolish enough to think that John spread the butter on our bread. But I've noticed that all the houses of McHenry are filled--not one empty. All the available business places are occupied, the streets are fixed up as well and I think a nttle better than usual and everybody is well and1 happy without him." "Well believe me, Bill, I cant see that very many are shedding tears because he's gone and as for me 1 hope he's gone never to return." 'Here to, Pete. So long." •So long, Bill." ! ALONZO L.

He came with his parents to McHenry to live when about nine years of age, where he remained until his mother's death in 1856. He obtained thru his own efforts a good education and finished his study of law at Ann Arbor, Mich. About the year 1866 he went to Indianola, Warren county, Iowa, where he practiced law.

Too Weak For Second Operation Mrs. Jos. May and daughter, Gertrude, have returned home from Chicago, where they had gone to have a second operation performed on the unfortunate little girl, but on exam ination at the Michael Reece hospital ft was decided by the physicians in attendance that the child was still too weak to undergo the intended opera tion. It will be remembered that Gertrude, who has been an invalid al most since birth, underwent an oper ation on one of her lower limbs some months ago and the experiment has so encouraged her and the parents that the second trip was made to the hospital in the hope that a second operation on the other limb would eventually result in giving her the of these organs. The parents plalfi to take the child to the hospital again when she is better able to go thru such an ordeal. Has Tonsils Reamvei Miss Ella Newman, daughter of Mr and Mrs. L. F. Newman of this vil lage, went to Rockford last week where she had her tonsils removed by Drs.

Owe*, Bis Drawings* of Elgin Celebrities Are Auctioned Off and Bring, Fine Returns--Almost Pinched Sidney Smith, who owns and with his family occupies a summer home at Howell's Villas near this village and also is president of the Chapil Hill Country club, entertained the members of the Weldwood Country club at Elgin last Saturday evening. Sunday's Elgin Courier had the following to say regarding the famous cartoonist's visit to that city: "Sid Smith, creator of Andy Gump and Min and Old Doc Yak, entertained the members of the Weldwood Cotfhtry club Saturday evening in the club house. "After a very enjoyable dinner, at which seventy-five club members were served, the guests assembled in the parlor, seated before an easel which was covered with drawing paper, at which the famous cartoonist proceeded to draw in minute sketches some of the club members. "The first on the list was the cocktail, which Sid said he had almost forgotten. This was speedily turned into a toper, whose nose became the red cherry at the bottom of the glass. Letters „ of the alphabet readily lent themselves to an old negro mammy and an old maid. Amos Cottrell was the first favored ameng the members to be caricatured, and his picture was followed by those of Leonard Emerich, Dr. Hinton, Ben Getzelman and Edward McCredie. Most popular of all was the csrtoon of Andy calling Mln, and the last one, which was a resurrection of old Doc Yak, with which Mr. Smith began Ms career in Chicago. "After the exhibition, the committee, thru Leonard Emerich, auctioned off the cartoons to the highest bidder. Those who purchased follow: Ned Cutter, the coektail man, $3.00; Mrs B. Hazlehurst, the group cartoon M .00; Amos Cottrell, the cartoon of himself, $6.00; Dr. Hinton, cartoon of himself, $10.00; Ben Getzelman, car toon of himself, $5.00; Oh! Min, Mrs Hazlehurst, $6.00; Brooklyn bridge scene, Carolyn Cloudman, $7.00; Doc Yak, to be raffled off later After the program the guests remained to enjoy the evening dancing." Tuesday's Courier: A blue racer halted in front of the United Cigar store Saturday. Police Officer Charles Struckman happened by and immediately announced himself to the lone occupant. "Y'can't stop here," the officer said: "It's a crossing." "I won't be here over an hour," the driver said. * "Don't get gay," Officer Struckman shot back. Attorney Charles B. Hazlehurst came upon the scene and introduced the driver to the officer. "Meet Sid Smith, the cartoonist, the attorney said. After exchanging the compliments of the day, Sid Smith, driving "348," teU friends that Struckman is a real character, one easily portrayed. for the best in groceries try Ericksea's. _ dentist, has joined the ranks of home owners by the purchase of the G. A Himler house on Waukegan street, now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. George A. Stilling. The deal for the pur chase of the home was closed last Fri day and possession of the property t$i:ts he gfarsn , •. v: HELP CARE FOR CROWD The Fourth of July this year will be observed on Monday, the fifth, thus giving most people two and one-half days' grace. «As a natural consequence of this fact, McHenry is looking forward to entertaining one of the largest crowds in her tyistory on these three days and realizing that our hotel and boarding houses cannot begin to accommodate all who will visit this community on these days we should plan now to accommodate as many of the visitors as possible and therefore it, has been suggested to The Plaindealer to have home owners who are willing to accommodate one or more of our guests during these days to jnake themselves known. The guests will naturally go to the hotels first and when these have all been filled the over-flow must be taken care of and it is these people we have in mind when we ask those who are willing to take them in for one or two nights' lodging to let this be known so that .the hotel owners will know where to direct the visitors. The information desired is how many can you accommodate and your telephone number in case you have one. This information should be mailed, telephoned or handed in to The Plaindeaier office and we in turn will make up lists to be supplied for each of the hotels and* boarding house? of the village and community and ih this manner it is hoped that McHenry will be able to accommodate hundreds of visitors. 4TH DEGREE CHAPTER FORMED Will Erect Bungalow Fred W. Huemann, who some ago purchased a lot on Water street from Mrs. Anna Bishop, will erect a bungalow thereon at once. On Monday morning of this week he purchased a barn of Ben Stilling, which located on the Stilling property at Orchard Beach.. The barn will be moved onto the lot and converted into a modern bungalow. We are told that Mr. Huemann will rent the place when completed, altho he and his wife hepe to occupy same when they g«' ready to give up the farm. ^ Property Changes . Property changes in the village as ^11 as along the river are being made with such marked regularity of late that we have found it a difficult task to record all of them. In the village, at this time, there are no less than one-half doien deals under way for the transfer of lands and houses while we have given up trying to keep record of the sales of lots along our rifver. Entertains Jolly Sixteen Mrs. Wm. Bishop very delightfully entertained the members of the Jolly Sixteen club at her home on Water street last Thursday afternoon. Five hundred was played and prizes award etf as follows: First, Mrs. George Bohr; second, Mrs. Simon Michels third, Mrs. George Worts. Bsisesk^ ments were served. ^ Gone to Carolina C. W. Stenger and F. A. Cooley left Mas village last Friday for South Caroliip, where they, in partnership with men from Woodstock, are interested in land. The McHenry men becam interested in the southern land some time ago and from all indications the investment looks as if it should bring them good returns. ~- I sad ianas. % &*>!•» By Members of Knights of Columbus ~l\ of McHenry County _ ^ The McHenry county fourth degree members of the Knights of Columbus, who met at the K. of C. hall in this village on Tuesday evening of last week, formed a fourth degree chapter As there are .about eighty fourth degree members in the county, the success of the newly formed ^chapter is already assured.

Refreshments were served following the work of the evening Wauconda Here Sunday Wauconda, undoubtedly the strongest team yet booked by the McHenry management, will oppose the McHenry team on tlie local uaseball diamond next Sunday afternoon, assuring the fans of a good game. Wauconda has, for several years past, maintained a strong baseball club and this year, we are told, is no exception to the rule. The team has defeated some very worthy opponents and is coming to McHenry with more than a little confidence. McHenry is capable of putting up a far better game than displayed by the team last Sunday and the boys have vowed to show their real prowess on the basebajl diamond next Sunday afternoon. Game called promptly at 2:30 p. m. Adnwifofl. 25 cents; war tax, 3 cents. The Strawberry Season The strawberry season is again at its height and local growers are experiencing very little trouble in disposing of their crop. Dr. R. G. Chamberlin, owner of the largest patch, is supplying the Northern Illinois Jobbing company, while Anton Krumpen another grower, is finding a ready sale for the luscious fruit among our citizens and out-of-town people who call for them at his patch on Center street, near the old driving park Henry Kamholz, tinner at the West Side hardware, is also the owner of fine patch and has a limited amount for • i sjy They Insist , Some of the strangers still insist Upon taking under-sited game fish from the mill pond at this place and once more The Plaindealer wishes to give warning against the practice.
