She was rushed to St Luke's hospital, Chicago. Other occU' pants of the machine were Mr. Inks and Mr. anil Mrs. Joseph McAuliff While this is a good start, ft May readily be seen that only a very small per cent of the property owners and others who should be interested have sent in their remittance. The above list is printed this week with the hope that it may serve to bring, about a greater interest among the hundreds who are directly and indirectly benefitted by our river and more especially thru the dam. It is our intention to publish a list of contributors from time to time so that gveryone may know just what progress is being made and whether or not the dam in Fox river is to be saved. From very reliable information we learn that the property owners around Pistakee bay as well as Fox river are beginning to.take more interest in the matter and the officials of the association are very much encouraged over the reports that are now coming in and which are to the effect that a number of owners of summer property are now taking an active interest. Among these are Mr. Hannifan, whose summer home is located on the west shore of Fox river at Orchard Beach, and Mr. Davis, who summers at Pistakee Bay. A committee meeting of the association has also been called and will take place in Chicago next Monday evening, while a larger meeting is to be held in that city some time after the first of the year. Business men of McHenry, let's get together and show these summer guests that we appreciate their coming to McHenry by doing our "bit" towards the up-keep of our beautiful stream of water which nature has given us. At the present time th*re is a difference of twenty inches between the level of the water above and below tlhe dam. Just think what our river would be without a dam. ' FiTe Company The local fire department, which was organized a few months *8 planing on a big benefit dan$e to be held sometime after the first of the year, possibly sometime during January. The boys are out to get some funds with which to purchase equipment and have decided on this manner of getting it. More will be said regarding the dance as well as our fire department in future issues of The "Piaindealer. They Psid For Turkeys Wm. H. Brinkman, Francis L. Brinkman, Joseph F. Kerwin and Arthur C. Meyer, all of Chicago, appeared In the county court at Woodstock on Monday of last week and paid $100 for seventeen turkeys they shot on the Mrs. Noona$ farm northwest of this village a few weeks ago.

A., will be held at the M. W. A. hall, West McHenry, on Tuesday evening of next week, Dec. 21, at which time a pair of blankets, on which numbers have been sold, will be raffled off. Games begin at 8:00 o'clock. Admission, 25 conts. Usual refreshments and prises. All are cordially invited. Workers Had But Two Weeka In Which to Prepare For Event--Dinner and Supper Eliminated Notwithstanding the fact that only two weeks were consumed in preparing for the big event, St. Mary's annual bazaar, which came to a close at the parish hall in the basement of St. Mary's church last Thursday evening, proved a remarkable success, the net proceeds amounting to $1,003.01. Among the workers this year were many new faces and these, together with some of the older workers who have seen many of such events to a successful conclusion, are^ due a great deal of credit for the admirable re suits obtained. Then, too, the good and generous people of the community who donated articles as well as those who contributed to the success of the bazaar thru their presence are also in for honorable mention. The fair opened a week ago last Sunday afternoon, the opening day crowd being tnuch larger than had been anticipated. The receipts on that day totalled $229. Tuesday's crowd wasn't quite as large, altho the total receipts for the day amounted to $225. Wednesday afternoon proved a great day for the kids. The fish pond on that afternoon with its hundreds of imported^ novelties appeared to be the big attraction and the youngsters enjoyed the time of their lives, a Thursday, the closing day, was the big day. Standing room was at a premium. The various booths and attractions did a flourishing business all evening. Tempting hams, sacks of flour, baskets of groceries together with the gorgeous quilts and fancy work were more than sufficient to drive the big crowd into a buying spirit seldom witnessed at an occasion of the sort in McHenry. The card parties on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons were also very well attended, with an exceptionally fine time prevailing on both after noons. On Thursday afternoon Mrs. S. H. Freund won first prize and Mrs. Geo. Young the second. The Plaindealer would have been pleased to publish a complete list of prize winners as well as donors of articles, but find this impossible for the Reason that a check on the winners had not been kept A partial list of the winners of prizes as well as the contributors has been suppKed, hut owing to its incompleteness we will omit mention. Former features of St. Mary's bazaar which • this year made themselves conspicuous by their absence were the customary dinner and supper as well as chance books. Of the latter there were only a few and as none of them were filled in time for the bazaar the work of selling numbers, under the direction of the school sisters of St. Mary's parochial school, still going on and the winners will be decided just as soon as all of the books now out have been filled. The receipts and expenditures as handed us for publication by the pastor of St Mary's, Rev. Edw. Berthold, follow: Receipts ....«.!-»• • .$1»13SM>1 NO. 27 ITEMS OF LOCAL UrraO AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDBALBR REPORTERS DURING WEEK ' What People Are Doing In TMs Vtt. lage and the Immediate Tli hllJ Other Short Parsgrapha Christmas cards and booklets at Petesch's.

As has been the custom ever since the early closing became effective m McHenry, all of the various business Officer Walsh stopped at the hqbses will be bpen every night next house and before many min- i week. Police Officer Jack Walsh and Deputy Sheriff John R. Knox, together with a few of our younger population, who are ever ready for a little excitement, put in quite a busy time last Friday night after a "tip" had been received by the local officials to be on the look-out for a large touring car which was headed for this village from Chicago. The "tip" was received in the early evening, shortly after the arrest of a woman at Cary, where she had been driven in a yellow taxi. The taxi driver is alleged to have said that he was engaged to drive his passenger to McHenry and is further credited~as having said that his machine was followed out of Chicago by a touring car. Whether or not this* is true makes little difference, but from things that transpired between that time and Saturday morning one would be led to believe that the "tip" was about correct. According to Officer Walsh, who was on watch most of Friday night, a machine pullefl into the village from the east about two o'clock Saturday morning. He saw the reflection from the headlights of the car out on the Volo road as he was coming down the Waukegan street hill past the school house. school utes had elapsed a la^e closed car I Just received a large assortment of pulled into Waukegan street headed four buckle, all rubber overshoes made towards the west side of town.

This time the machine crossed the Main street railway crossing near the depot and passing thru the business section of the West Side turned at the comer of Main and Front streets and thence into John street. The machine then made one more trip along Main street and then left On account of being on foot Officer Walsh wasn't able to follow the car very closely, but as near as he was able to ascertain no stop was made in the village. The machine did non return to the village after it had once left town. Just who the occupants were and what their mission had been will probably never be known, but the entire proceedings were of a most suspicious nature. Many wild rumors have been afloat since Friday night, but up to the present time the whole matter remains a conjecture. The machine's occupants may have been burglars and then 136,60 New Gas Sen ice 9MMR M. A.

Bishop Arrives Home The Rt. Rev. Bishop. P. J. Muldoon of Rockford arrived in New York aboard the Aquitania last Saturday and is expected at his home in Rockford this week. The bishop is returning {rom Europe, where he made his official report to the pope in Rome and also visited the battle fields of France. On his return to Rockford he will be tendered a big reception in celebration of the twelfth anniversary of hfi coming to Roekford as bishop. . The Elite Eight The members of the Elite Eight were delightfully entertained by Miss Barbara Althoff at the home of Misses Kathryn and Gertrude Weber on Washington street last Monday evening.
