A few of the many press comments on his performances follow: "Mr. Wassman fear an howr and a half entertained the an&ence with such magic as sf rarely seen outside of India. The audience expected something good from a performer of Mr. Wassman's reputation, but were more than pleased that he surpassed their expectations "--Paducah, Ky., News Democrat. "It was a lively crowd that attended in the evening to hear and witness the 'marvelous, mystifying magic' of Robert Wassman. He soon had full control of the audience, the largest that has yet been present. He sounded all the strange and wonderful depths of magic, breaking watches and making them over again as good as new. Mr. Wassman has an attractive presence, a pleasing voice and manner and knows how to extract as much amusement from a platform performance as any magician whom we have -seen."--La Porte, Ind., Daily Herald. "Wassman, the magician, appeared at Mrs. Samuel, R. Jewett's for the children. When a little white rabbit mysteriously appeared from a handkerchief, which a second before had been in a little boy's hand, the children decided it was useless to try to account for its presence and they just clapped their hands and concluded the magician was the most wonderful man that ever existed."-- Chicago Evening American. GET-TOGETHER DINNER Ta jBe iield at Justen's Hotels Next : Monday Evening After making a thoro canvass of the business, professional and influential population of our village the committee in charge pf the work was just a trifle disappointed last week in finding that only a few favored the organisation of a Kiwanis club here. However, the committee was successful in disposing of a large number of tickets for the big get-together dinner and meeting which is to take 3>lace at Justen's hotel at 6:30 o'clock next Monday evening, an indication that some sort of a permanent organization will be effected at that time. As near as we are able to learn the majority of those interested favor a Commercial club, but we are not here to say just what the proposed organization should be named. That's the purpose of the meeting and it is to be hoped that every man in the village who really has the interests of this community at heart will be present at the meeting next Monday night and thereby display his willingness to get behind an organization which is to stand for the betterment of the entire community. The following will be the menu: Celery, olives, pea soup^ with croutons, roast beef with gravy, rolls and butter, browned potatoes, baked macaroni, apple pie al-a-mode, coffee and cigars. In case there are some who have not been solicited and wish to get in on the organization they will be very welcome at the dinner and meeting. In fact, it is the desire of those who have taken the initiative in the undertaking to get "live wires"xof the community into the organization. Don't forget the date, Monday evening, January 30', at 6:30 o'clock. Be there.

Delegation of McHenry Buuina-- Men Who Attend Meeting Expreas Disappointment at Selection Made By a vote of three to two the community high school board on Tuesday evening of this week selected Abell & Coney of Elgin as architects' for the proposed new community high school building to he erected in McHenry. Two special sessions of the school board have been held within the last week, one last Thursday evening and the second on Tuesday night of this week. Among the architects present at Tuesday night's session were Llewellyn of Chicago, who is nationally recognized as one of the very best school architects in the eouhtry. Architect Teisch of Chicago was also present as well as Mr. Abell of Elgin. Besides the out-of-town men there was also a delegation of about fifteen of McHenry's business and representative men at the meeting and before the time came for the taking of the important vote a number of these men were called upon to express thepaselves on the matter of engaging an architect and it was plain to be seen that the majority of the delegation favored some other architect aside of the men chosen. According to some of tikis men who made up the local delegation at the meeting on Tuesday evening, the Elgin man, who has thus been engaged to do this" important work, has had very little or no experience in community high school building and for this reason feel that he should not have been chosen. These men further declared that a building of the type of the one proposed for our community should be placed in the hands of an architect who has made a specialty of the larger high school buildings. F! E. Covalt, president of the McHenry Lumber company, was ope of the men 'called upon for a talk and responded by setting forth some very good reasons for the engagement of s specialist in school buildings. His remarks met with general approval by most of the delegation at hand. After the vote had been taken and it was. found that the board had chosen the Elgin man most of the delegation left the meeting place anything but pleased and so expressed themselves. The architect, we understand, will go to work at once in the hope that they will have their end of the job completed within the course of the next few' weeks. The board is also in touch with the various otaiers of the Herbes tract, which has been selected as a site for the new building, and to accomplish this work will also require several weeks. According to one member of the board, it will likely be about the middle of April before actual work on the new building can be started. Leaves on European Trip Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Oberstadt and daughter, Uta, who have been making their home in McHenry ?or nearly year, left this village for Chicago Friday and the following day traveled to New York City, from which place they expected to set sail for Europe, where they plan to spend the next few months. During their stay abroad they will make a Mediterranean tour and will also visit a son and daughter in France and a daughter in Switzerland. Upon their return to America, we are told, they will make their home in Chicago. g Raymond Powers Buys Home Itaymomi V.

Pries the house and lot oi\ Green street known as the old Jack Bishop place.

TAX RATES MUCH HIGHER Rate In McHenry Township Ii 47 Cents Over Last Year Tax payers residing in the town of MeHenry will be asked to pay an increase of 47 cents per $100 valuation over the taxes paid last year. Now don't start to rave, for there are hundreds of communities which have been hit a great deal harder than has McHenry. In fact, McHenry's -tax rate this year is considerably smaller than a number of the towns in McHenry county, while it is lower than any town in Lake county. The 1920 and 1921 tax rate for the town of McHenry follow: State ..

It will soon be up to the town board to appoint an assessor for the town of McHenry to finish the unexpired term of the who passed ago. Just who Mr. Kimball's successor will be remains to be seen. From good authority we learn that there are four applications for the office now in the hands of the town committee and the name of his successor will probably be made some titpe next month. Altho a new assessor is to be elected in this township this spring, the successful candidate* will not take office until next year as Mr. Kimball's term of office does not expire until that time. With four applications already in the hands of the town committee, it will be no easy matter to make a choice, as we understand that each and every one of the candidates Is qualified for the position he seeks. Follows Very Closely That of Daughter Who Passed On Than Three Months Age With the pain and sorrow occasioned hy the death of a sister in our home less than three months ago still burning, the editor, together with his brothers, relatives and dear friends, was given another sad shock on Monday morning of this week when there was suddenly and most unexpectedly tailed from this life our mother, Mrs. Mary Schreiner, who passed away at the family home shortly after six o'clock that morning. While the writer had realized ever since the death of his sister that this good, little mother was living a life of painful sorrow and lenesomeness, yet little did he or others equally dear to her realize that her end was so near She retired shortly after nine o'clock on the evening" before hor death apparently in good health. Shortly before six o'clock the following morning she was stricken with apoplexy and within a half hour after her sons had rushed to her bedside our loved one had passed on. Mary Kerling was born at Hirten, Germany, on October 12, 1849. She was the eldest of a family of five children. Her father passed away in October, 1866, and the following April the mother with her five children set sail for America, arriving in the New York port, after a more or less perilous voyage, thirty-nine days later. After a three days' stay in New York City the family traveled west, coming to Chicago and thence to this community, where for the first few months they made their home with the family of John Peter Heimer, who at time resided near Johnsburg and which farm is now owned by Mrs. Helena Heimer of this villasre. The cost of travel from the old country to their new place of abode Encouraged by the splendid turnout at their first athletic show staged in their hall here a few weeks ago, the McHenry post, No. 491, American Legion, have arranged another very attractive card for their hall in this village next Thursday night, Feb. 2. In planning and arranging far the coming show the committee in charge has decided that the fistic and wrestling fans of this community and nearby towns are entitled to the best talent obtainable in these parts and that they have been successful ifl their endeavor to please the fans may be seen by the following attractions which hfeve been booked for the occasion : Postmasters' Examination Since last week's issue we learn that E. E. Bassett, whose term as postmaster of the West McHenry office expired last fall, has made application and will again take the examination for the office. As stated last week, an examination to fill the vacancy was held some time ago, when it developed that the present incumbent was the only applicant. In the eyes of the Washington officials the previous examination was not given enough publicity and therefore Entertained Jolly Sixteen The members of the Jolly Sixteen club were entertained by Mrs. Simon Michels at her home on Riverside Drive on Wednesday afternoon of last week. After the customary number of games of five hundred had been played prizes were awarded as fol lows: First, Mrs. John Engeln; second, Mrs. Geo. Bohr; third, Mrs. N. E. Barbian. The usual luncheon was served at the dose of the games. late John W. Kimball, jm America had taken almost all of away hare some weeks money the mother possessed and as a natural consequence the family was all but penniless on their arrival at Johnsburg. It was then up to the three older members of the family to provide a livelihood for the younger ones who were not old enough to go to work and therefore the mother of the editor worked out for a number of years prior to her marriage. Most of this time was spent in Chicago. On May 15, 1873, in the brick church destroyed by fire at Johnsburg some years ago, she was united in marriage to William Schreiner by the late Rev. H. M. Fegers. Shortly after her marriage she, with her husband, came to McHenry, where they established a home and where she has since continuously resided, a period of nearly a half century. , He^-^assing practically breaks up a long' established home. The editor's father passed away eleven year^ ago this month. One daughter, Kathi ryn, passed away nearly twenty years ago, Margaret, another daughter, died in 1914, while the third daughter passed away as stated at the beginning of this sketch. Left to survive are three Bons, John P., Frank G. and George J., and one granddaughter, Carolyn Miller, all of this village. Besides a large following of friends, she also leaves two sisters and one brother, as follows: Mrs. Frank Miller of Johnsburg, Mrs. TQ STAGE ANOTHER SHOW McHenry Legion Post Haa Good Card Far Next Thursday Night I» This ITERS OF LOCAL INI AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS DURING WKKg What People Are lage and the --Other Short Yon save when yea trade at son's.

On sale at the Me2£iury First attraction: Wrestling hout:House J between Red O'Brien of Woodstock' and Archie Parker of Elgin. O'Brien gives his weight at 145 pounds, while the Elgin lad is ten pounds heavier. Everyone thruout this section of the country recognizes the fact that "Red" is the best man of his weight in the wrestling game today, while backers of the Elgin lad declare that their man is just as good and will demonstrate that fact. The committee was a long time in getting these two men to consent to a match at McHenry and the fans may rest assured of witnessing one of the best bouts ever staged in McHenry county when these two clever exponents of the art meet. Th second attraction will be a fourround boxing exhibition between Eddie Williams of Woodstock and Young Barbian of this village. Williams has been trying for some time to get this match and his Woodstock friends are backing him strong to win. Young Barbian, as he is known to his friends, displayed at the previous show that he knows a thing or two about the boxing game and is going into win. The third attraction of the evening will be a six-round boxing bout between Kid Garrison of Fox Lake and Johnnie Stahl of Genoa Junction. The Fox Lake lad made a very favorable impression on his appearance here' against Young Barbian a few weeks ago. Backers of the Genoa Junction lad declare that they have a real comer inyJohnnie Stahl and are very much pleased to know that he is to be given an opportunity against a man who has had the ring experience possessed by Garrison. The evening's wind-up gives promise of terminating into a real battle. Lefty Stearrin is really the pride of all* Elgin and in his battles down at the Watch city he has met and defeated some very good men. His opponent on this occasion will be none other than Soldier Meyers of this village, who also made a big hit with local fans here a few weeks ago when he fought "Ding" Newman to a draw. Friends of the McHenry lad declare that he is in great deal better condition £han when he met Newman and they are looking for him to give the Elgin "ace" a real argument. General admission to the coming show will be $1.00; ringside seats, $1.50. No war tax. The Legion is their decision to held another examination on Feb. 11. AppHcation Emma 0f Chicago and Peter Kerling of Austin, Minn. One sister, Elizabeth, preceded her in death many years ago.
