Freund and -John P. Weber Now that the annual town election is over the voters' attention is drawn to the next battle of ballots, which occurs next Saturday afternoon, the date set aside for the holding of the district No. 15 as well as the community district school elections. That there will be a spirited contest in both elections is an absolute certainty and our prediction is that a big vote will be polled in both districts. As has always been the case whenever a contest has been waged here, Monday, April 10, to confer with the there are two factions which will fight Ward of local improvements relative to the sewerage improvement and to attend the meeting of the Community chlb that evening. Yours vmty truly,jgi •/-* Isaac D. Rawlings, lit. D., Director. According to arrangements already made by the members of the local body the board will also have present it out at the polls next Saturday. In the community high school case it will be a battle between Jos. W. Freund, present member and secretary of the board, and John P. Weber, whose candidacy was announced thru theoe columns a few weeks ago. As stated at the time the announcement was published, Mr. Freund's post the day's meeting representatives litical enemies are out to beat him of the Wells Engineer company of and have picked Mr. Weber to accom- Aurora and it is to be hoped that the|pijsh that end.

So far as ceding the actual installation of Me- we are able to ascertain both factions Heifry's proposed sewerage system {are very well organized over the enmay go on uninterruptedly. A majority of the voters and tax payers of the village are now in favor of such an improvement and not to grant the wishes of the majority would be doing them a great injustice. Therefore it is the sincere hope of everyone, having the best interests of our municipality at heart, that an amiable solution to the present difficulties may be found without further deTay. Mr. Ferguson, of the state health department, will also remain over for the regular bi-monthly meeting of the Community club of McHeny, which will convene at the K. of C. hall at eight o'clock that evening, where he will stand ready to answer all questions that may be put up to him. The members of. the Community club, on account of Mr. Ferguson's presence, have therefore decided to make Monday evening's session an open meeting for, any and KB wimwishto attend. BEAUTIFYING SUBDIVISION AUJ>ut Buildings , Farm to Be Baaed am Ov« J|t»te The new sub-division, comprising the Owen estate farm, which last year was purchased by a syndicate headed by Carl W. Stenger, is to be greatly improved and beautified during the next few weeks. According to the plans aa outlined to a Plaindealer reporter on Monday of this week, all of the old barns, sheds and other outdoor buildings, which formerly comprised the barnyard of the farm, are to be torn down and the lumber therefrom offered for sale. When once the buildings have been rased the space.will be cleared and made to conform with the natural beauties of the balance of the tract, including the acreage rented by the newly organized McHenry Golf club. M. J. Freund, who has been engaged to take care of this work, has already started activities on the property and before long hopes to have the place looking very much improved. Just now he is bjisily engaged in placing tire community high school district and if work will do it every voter in the territory covered will be brought to the polls on this day. Simultaneously with the waging of the community battle will be fought the contest in the old district No. 15. John E.

We refer to Oswell G. Treadway, candidate for McHenry county superintendent of schools, who is asking the support of the voters at the polls next Tuesday, If for no other reason, he is entitled to your vote on his war record. He stood by you during those dark days of the World war and now that he is asking just a small favor from you, grant it It would be displaying a gross ingratitude if the town of McHenry would not give this worthy young man a splendid indorsement at the polls next Tuesday. He stands for efficiency, economy and a square deal. What more ooul4 one asjst W*E FOR HIM. " • - ' tj WII*LIAM F. HOLTZ Paaaed Away Suddenly at Woudstiik x Last Friday Morning McHenry friends received a very sad shock last Friday morning on learning of the sudden and unexpected death of a former resident, William F.

Just what the outcome of the ttoo contests will be The Plaindealer is unwilling to predict. Our only advice is to go to the polls and vote your choice. High this union, one of whom, Clara R. Holtz, preceded him in death on Oct. 30, 1904, at the age of eighteen years in Chicago. Mr. Holts was contracting foreman for the Western Electric company in Chicago and during fifteen years after conducted a livery barn in this village. He made his home during the past four years at Woodstock, where he was an employe in the assembling To the Vetera af-CemmimHy School District No. 156 At the 'request of a large number of the business men and voters of the district I consented to become a candidate for the office of member of the Iroom <*»e 01iver Typewriter comboard of education. . pany* Since my candidacy was announced Funeral services were held on Sunvarious misrepresentations have been 'day, April 2, from the Presbyterian made by the opposition, chief of which church.

I wish to say that these charges are false and that those making them knew they were false when they were mpde.' The district has voted in favor of a $125,000 bond issue. No further issue can be made without u VOTE of, the DISTRICT, and I wish to pledge to the voters that if elected I shall use my vote on the board to keep the cost of erecting this building within our present bond issue. This building will likely serve as our high school for the next seventy-, five years. If constructed along the most modern principles of high school building it will probably be out of date long before that time.

This wall is to be built ten feet back of the water line and just as soon as the improvement has been completed a dredge will be employed to clean out the entire stretch, thus giving the property one of the very finest shores to be found anywhere along the entire course of that body of water. The contract for the building of the sea Wall has already been let to the McHenry Artificial Stone A Construction Go. and it is expected that work on same will begin very shortly. Opens Shoe Repair Shop John Wolkis, who* during the past several mopths has occupied a part of the A. S. Parks house at the corner of Center and John streets on the'West Side, on Monday morning, of this week opened a shoe repair shop in the Math. Lauree building on the West Side. The shop is electrically equipped and from the manner in which the work has been cdming into the shop since its opening we should say that the citizens in that end of town welcomed the new institution. During the past six months or more Mi . Wolkis has conducted a shop at Wauoonda. A couple of dollars make your car worth $100 more. Pattenjs auto gloss Within the limits of our bond issue. I believe also that the building program should be pushed as fast as possible. The needless delay of the past year has not only been costly to the district, but has made it impossible to have it ready for the beginning of next September. In the administration of the schools, in spite of the misrepresentations, I believe in the strictest economy consistent with maintaining a good school.

Every member of the | victrola selection entitled Mozart's Aithoff Wins Out For Assessor, While John Boyle Easily Defeata Peter Smith For Commissioner An old saying that "a candidate for office never can tell how many liars there are in the community until after the votes have been counted" was again proven quite true on Tuesday of this week, the occasion of the animal township election. Right up to the very day of the election very fow of the "dopsters" were ready to j»ick the winners, the prevailing opinion among the voters being that the election would prove the closest ever wag<sd in the township. Outside of E. M. Geier there wasn't a candidate in the field who did not have hopes of winning. Some of Mr. Geier's own friend^ confessed to him on the morning of the battle that they figured his chances of winning very small and openly declared that they were going to throw their votes to the support of one of the other two candidates for the office of assessor. Mr. Geier, even after hearing this discouraging news, worked on and even under the great handicap did not give up until the day was over. One of the big surprises of the day came in the race for the highway commissionership, in which John Boyle defeated Peter Smith by 274 votes. "Dopsters" during the campaign had figured out that the two candidates would run neck and neck and that there would notf be fifty votes difference between the two. The actual result brought forth expressions of ^reat surprise, not only to the supporters of the losing candidate, but to the friends of Mr. Boyle as well. The election proved a singular one in more respects tfian one. First of all, the cleanliness of the campaign as directed by the candidates and their loyal supporters; secondly, the; large vote cast, there being a total of 1274 votes polled in the three precincts, and thirdly, the large majority given the winners. The total vote cast was distributed in the three precincts as follows: First, Woodman hall, Ringwood, 412; second, village hall, McHenry, 417; third, Colby building, Riverside Drive, McHenry, 445, The tabulated figures of the election as compiled for publication are as follows; ,< Far Town Clark ^ let 2nd 3rd rPet Pet.

Mr. Althoff's majority over Mr. Simes was exactly 102 votes. All of the losing candidates, so far as The Plaindealer is able to ascertain, are proving themselves all good losers and have no complaint to offer. Considering the many workers and the three weeks of campaigning, the fight will go down as one 6f the cleanest ever waged in the township. First Methodist Church Membership day will be observed this coming Palm Sunday and a num ber have indicated their intention of joining. The sermon will be "The Message of the Cross." The5 following Sunday, Easter, a union service will be held in the Universalist church A special program has been arranged that will make the service helpful to all.

' Loi^l Golf Club Experience* Wonder* ' * ; ful Growth this community henceforth will be able to boast of st least one hundred golf enthusiasts is now an absolute certainty. The century mark in the membership of the newly .organized McHenry Golf club has been attained and from now on those wishing to join the organization will be obliged to pay the advanced initiation fee of $75. It was with a feeling of great pride that one of the boosting officials of the club informed ye scribe that the 100th member had been signed up. Considering that the club has been organized but a short time and also the fact that the course is not as yet completed, the achievement is really remarkable. Added to this lies the fact that all of the work thus far accomplished has been paid for and the& is still a sufficient fund on hand to defray the expense of completing the course. With the exception of a cpm£uratively small patch, the entire course was plowed up and seeded last fall. The balance of this work is to be completed at once. All of the fences in the entire tract are now being removed and within a very short time the property will present a moat beautiful aspect. The work of plowing and removing the fences, stones and all other obstructions is under the able supervision of Ben Stilling, while Andrew Eddy has already been engaged as caretaker of the greens. , An order has also been placed for a Triplex mower, having a nine foot span, which is to be used in keeping the grounds in first-class playing condition thruout the season. W. J. Donavin has been awarded the contract for the installation of the water system to be used in watering the greens. This is quite a large contract and will kee(f Mr. Donavin and his men busy for the next few weeks to come. Members of the club, especially those who are not new to the game, can scarcely await the time when the grounds will be in shape'for playing, and when once this comes to pass the old Owen farm will present a scene not even as milch as dreamed of a few years back . THE SCHOOL PROPOSITION ; Prseedare In Court Necessary jMert Building Can Start ITEBS OF LOCAL AS PICKED UP BT REPORTERS DUBBfG ~ 'J Much has been said regarding the proposed McHenry community high school of late and many, no dOubt, have wondered why the school board has not made a greater progress. In order that the public may know the facts The Plaindealer has been handed a letter for publication as written to the board secretary by Atty. E. H. Waite of Woodstock, who has been engaged to look after the legal end of the work. The letter: Woodstock, March Mr. Joseph W. Freund, * ' ' • McHenry, 111. ; * Dear Mr. Freund--Everything is at a standstill in community high school districts where the bonds have not been issued and it will be necessary to test the legality of the district by a procedure in court before the attorneys who pass on the bonds will render a favorable opinion. This will take some time and will necessarily delay any effort of the board to start building operations. Yours very truly, E. H. Waite. By the above communication it may be seen that it is not any fault of the members of the school board that further progress has not been made and these gentlemen regret as much as do the patrons of the school tlyit conditions have made it impossible to get an early start on actual building operations. It is to be hoped, however, that the court procedure will be pushed with all possible haste and that actual building operations may begin early in the summer. Woodatock-McHenry Bus Line Last Saturday, April 1, saw the inauguration of a new bus line between this village and Woodstock and since that time daily, except Sunday, trips have been made between these two points. H. H. Bosshard, who has been conducting a similar line "between Woodstock and Marengo, is the operator. He believes that a line between this village and our county seat can, in time, be made a paying venture.
