The discovery was made early Wednesday J ®v®n'nK °f last week. Organic heart disease was given as the cause of his ..>i death by the jury which served on the case. ». Four concrete policemen will be ' t 4 erected around the square at Wood- % stock by a Rockfojrd corporation. The ^ Rockford company expects the posts ^ free of cost, but derives its benefits thru advertising space which is usually sold to business men' in the cities where the silent policemen are erected. Joe Pauie, operator of a notorious resort at Fourth Lake, an^i who, after having been found guilty of operating a blind pig and sentenced to eight months in the Lake county . jail, turned up missing, is now a boarder at the Waukegan bastile. He surrendered Himself to _£he Lake codnty sheriff one morning last week and jm mediately started serving his jail sentence. William S. McConnell, prdtent conn ty treasurer, but whose term of office expires next spring, heads a group of Woodstock men who have purchased the Dacy lumber yards of that city. The deal, it is understood, amounts to $75,000. A stock company is to be formed and it is expected that Mr. McConnell will be one of the principal officers and probably the manager of the business. Two gentlemen, one of whom has been with the Wisconsin Condensed Milk company and the other with Birk - Bros., the brewers, were in Grayslake one day recently looking over the new farmers* milk plant with a view of purchasing same. Thus far no deal has been reported. Accord ing to rumors at Grayslake, the men if successful in the purchase of the building, will use same for the manu facture of candies. As milk is used in the manufacture of certain sweets a small amount of the product will al so be taken in at the plant. The Willis Inn, a saloon and dance hall at Fox Lake, is closed by injunc t$pn as the result of a writ granted last Wednesday night by Judge Ed ward D. Shurtleff, who presided at the Lfcke county court- The writ was di rected against Edward Froehlich, proprietor of the place, and also included his servants an<S bartenders. The injunction remains in effect for a year unless released by a subsequent order of the court and this is possible oq]y by the posting of a $5,000 bond toy Frsshlirh. under which hq must giuMpM that no intoxicating liquors wiil Jm sold on the premises. !*i iiftip at Empire Tfeeatr* al Two O'clock Tuesday Next Tuesday is Memorial day and In fitting commemoration of the dead and living heroes of past wars the people of this community will once more pay their respects thru 4 proper observance of the occasion. All of the details attendant to the program of the day have been taken over by the local post of the American Legion. Not forgetting the splendid manner in which the past two Decoration days were handled by this gallant body of young men, the public may rest assured that nothing will remain undone that will in any way assist in making this year's Memorial day in McHenry just sis beautiful and just as impressive as were thoee of the past two years. Commander John L. May of the local post informs Us that he has already arranged for an appropriate program, which, besides the customary oration, will consist of vocal and musical numbers. It is expected that the children of both schools will take part in the program as well as the day's activltiei, as will the McHenry band. The members of the "American Legion post as well as all ex-service men who are not members of the post are kindly asked to gather at the American Legion hall at 1:30 o'clock. The veterans of the late war as well as those of the Spanish-American war will form a line of march at the hall and parade to the Empire theatre, where the exercises will be held beginning at two o'clock. An invitation is also extended to members of the various societies of the village to take part in the day's parade and exercises and it is hoped that there will be a generous response to this request. The Civil war veterans will fee carried in automobiles and in order that these will be properly cared for the commander of the local Legion post will be very much pleased tb have these vets, who will join us on that day, notify him in advance so that there will be an adequate number of machines on hand to carry them. Up to the time of going to press Commander May was unable to give us the name of the speaker of the day, but the public may rest assured that this part of the afternoon's program will be satisfactory. All busirifes houses of the village are expected to close at least during the hours of the exercises. As has been the custom, a line of march will be formed at the Empire theatre immediately after the program, after which all of the three cemeteries will be visited. Let's all turn out and thus assist in making this year's memorial observance a really memorable occasion. COMING CftVTOlOTY DISTRICT 0. K. JUDGE SHURTLEFF RULES FAORABLY ON 9CHQOL V.V' BoardWKI Plaas For CManmity High School Now Go Ahead With New Building Unless unforeseen obstacles turn up work on McHenry*s new community high school building will start shortly. A favorable decision, handed down by Judge Edward D. Shurtleff as the result of the quo warranto proceedings which were instituted in the McHenry county circuit court for the purpose of determining the legality of the McHenry community high school district, now allows the local board to go ahead with the regular procedure connected with the purchase of the site and advertising for bids on the new building. t The architect employed by the school has been advised to proceed with his work and the board's attorney, E. H. Waite of Woodstock, is also going on with the legal, end of the work. The board hasnt as yet fully decided whether or not they will make an attempt to purchase the entire site as chosen by the voters at last year's election. As title to the' property is held by ten different owners, some of whom reside in the west, it will be a hard matter to deal with allsof these individually. Our understanding of the matter is that the- board, thru their attorney, will make the owners of the propery what they consider a fair bid on .the land. Should this method fail, then the condemnation procedure will be gone thru and it will be up to the court to determine the value of the tract. Thus it may be seen that the time of starting actual work on the new building can be determined only on the speed of the transfer and our courts. It is the hope, of the board, however, that no serious obstacles will be encountered in achieving a clear and undisputed title to the property so that bids may be advertised for very soon. That there will be plenty of bidders is a foregone conclusion. Everything .within the power of the board will be done to speed the work and if the patrons and general public will give these men their support we are sure that a new community school building will be well under way before many weeks have passed. RUSHING DANCE PAVIUi* SPECIAL ATTRACTION To Be Staged at Empire Under / Aasplw of Legion Po* Formal Opening of the Fes Next Saturday Evening SLOW DOWN Only last week The Plaimlealer gave warning: against reckless and fast driving of automobiles on the streets of this village. Since then one quite serious accident has taken place here. Our prediction this week is that more accidents will occur un-' less drivers pay a little more respect to the laws of the village and .state. Even after the accident last Sunday morning there were a number of violations of the law and since that time they have been almost as general, especially in the business sections of the town, as they were before. We do not ngean by this that every owner of a car is a law breaker. To the contrary, most of the drivers are careful, but there are a •few who, judging from the reckless manner in which they drive automobiles on our streets, consider themselves privileged characters. If the safety of our -men, women and children is to be guarded the automobile laws of our village and state must be enforced to the letter and The Plaindealer wishes to go on record as saying that if odr officials haven't the backbone to see that this law is enforced for heaven's sake let them do the right thing by resigning their posts and allow courageous men to be placed in office. With the automobile traffic increasing daily and with machines in the hands of so many inconsiderate drivers it is high time that the safety of the public is given more serious consideration. ANNUAL SCHOOL EXHIBIT TO TAKE SONNER RECESS COMMUNITY CLUB TO ELIMINATE SUMMER MEETINGS To Be Held at Auditorium on Friday Evening, May >1/ * The members of the local Legion post will sponsor a big special attraction at the Empire theatre next Wednesday evening, May 31 For this special occasion they have secured Fredrik the Great, world renowned^* magician, who features his act by cutting a lady in two. There will also be a two-reel comedy, a First National attraction, featuring Buster Keaton in his very latest film, entitled "The Play House." ^Cutting a Lady In Two" made a tremendous hit with Chicago theatregoers when first introduced a short time ago and since then the act has kept audiences spell-bound wherever the magician 1MS appeared. For many years Chicago has had such kings as Herman, Keller, Hodina, Blackstone and others, but it remained for Fredrik the Great to not only think out this great act, but also to perfect same so that not 6ven committee, invited upon the stage to watch him perform the mystery, could see how it is done. The local post considers itself very unfortunate in being able to book this high-class attraction at this time and believes that the public will show its appreciation by attending either one of the two performances to be given at 7:30 and 9:00 o'clock. Memorial Maaa A memorial mass for the departed members of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, will be held at St. Patrick's Catholic church ^ here next Tuesday morning at nine o'clock. Members of the McHenry council are expected to attend the mass in a body. Notice is also given to the members of McHenry council that there will be but one meeting a month during the months of June, July and August. • Jos. W. Rothermel, the contractor, now has a small army of workmen on the job at the new "Fox" dancing pavilion, east of the river, and work on the big structure is being rushed with all possible haste in order to Jjave same ready for the formal opening, which is advertised to take place next Saturday evening. May 27. Everyone who has visited the place is more than agreeably surprised at the spaciousness of the pavilion and the beautiful site which has been chosen for its location. Messrs. Knox and Niesen, who are responsible for the new enterprise, and who will manage all of the events to take place there, had but one thought in mind when planning the place, that being to give the people of this community as well as visitors a place that would merit the confidence of the public in general, and with this as their aim the young men are setting out to make their business venture a success. For the opening dance Saturday night as well as the dances to follow on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings, Lieut Jimmie's orchestra of Chicago has been engaged to furnish the music. The opening dances will be conducted on the 10 cent plan and if the scheme proves out as they believe it will this system will be followed thruout the season. The floor will easily accommodate 150 couples 'and the management is hoping |o enter a record breaking crowfl oil the opening night. Apron Social Invitations neatly tucked in the pockets of tiny aprons was "the unique manner employed by the members of Fox River Valley camp, R. N. A., in asking their friends to attend an apron social held at the Woodman hall here last Saturday evening. In response to these messages a very fine crowd gathered at the hall, where a few most pleasant hours were passed at games of various kinds, followed by refreshments. Those who attended were well pleased with the manner in which they had been entertained. m Runaway A Mam owned by August Rossman took a lively run down Green street last Friday morning after they had taken fright at some object while the w making a delivery of to Wm. Pries. The team ran down Green street, severed themselves from the wagon and then broke apart. Damage to the wagon and hameM was quite considerable^ hot fortunately no one was hurt. Entertained Five Hundred Club Mrs. Henry Heimer acted as hostess to the members of the West Side Five Hundred Card club at her home on Main street on Tuesday evening of this week. After the usual number of games of five hundred had been played a, delicious luncheon was served. High honors of the evening were awarded to Mrs. P. M. Justen while the consolation went to Mrs. N. J. Jueten. #5. Patrons and friends will fee gtven an opportunity of viewing the annual exhibit of the McHenry public schools on Friday evening of this week, when the work of the school will be displayed in the auditorium. The following well arranged program will also be given: » Mock orchestra First Grade Song--Mammy's Lullaby.Eigth Grade Folk Dances 1st & 2nd Grades Apple Blossoms Drill..

The band boys have been very generous in giving their services wherever and whenever asked. Most of the members have purchased their own instruments and even their uniforms, while some have gone so far as to advance money in order that the organization might not succumb for lack of funds. The members are willing to continue the concerts, but are unwilling to finance them and therefore it is necessary that the funds subscribed and collected be turned over to,them just as soon as possible. It takes' money to purchase music and keep the instruments in repair. It is also their intention to complete the band stand in Borden's park. Those who have been appointed on the subshould RUN DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE |Kr. P. J. Aicher and MnC George C. Steilen Injured Dr. F. J. Aicher, McHenry dentist, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. George C. Steilen, are confined to their homes suffering from painful injuries received last Sunday morning when tliey were run down by a touring car owned and driven by Andrew Steinsdoerfer. The accident, which occurred'on the cross walk near the home of James B. Perry on Maple avenue, was witnessed by scores of Sunday morning worshippers who were returning home from the eight o'clock mass at St, Mary's church. One woman fainted and others shrieked as the car ran into the two victims and dragged them several feet before i;he machine was brought to a full stop. Men who rushed to the victims' assistance found Mrs. Steilen with her left foot caught between the frame and the spring, while the doctor was caught underneath the front axle. Wedged in this manner the two unfortunates were shoved, head first, for a distance what some of the eye witnesses declare was no less than thirty feet. How the two escaped without more serious injuries or being killed will remain a mystery. After the rescue7 Mrs. Steilen was carried into the home of Walter Warner, while Dr. Aicher wa% assisted into the home of Jacob Justen, where first-aid assistance was given them by Dr. N. J. Nye, who was near the scene when the accident occurred. Both were taken to their respective homes shortly after. Mrs. Steilen received a bad wound on her right elbovt and was also badly bruised on her right side from her hip to her shoulder and it is feared that one or more of her ribs have also been fractured. On her left leg she received a bad laceration just above the shoe top as well as on her knee. It was necessary to remove her left shoe in order to extricate her foot from its wedging. A fur she wore faved her from head bruises. Dr. Aicher's injuries consisted of a fracture of his right shoulder blade, painful bruises to the right side of his forehead as well as body bruises. His injuries are such as to prevent him from resuming his dental practice for a month. The victims of this unfortunate accident have the sympathy of our people in general, all of whom express a hope for a speedy and complete recovery. Please Sign Your Coiftributiona The Plaindealer has so often asked its contributors to sign their names to articles sent to us for publication that we have almost grown tired of j.ublishing these requests, but still the ported the presence of a committee of j practice continues. It isn't that .we Richmond men who were with us that wjsh ^ publish the contributesJprne evening for the purpose of talking j jn connection with the article subover the continuation of the proposed 'mjtted, but merely to satisfy ourcement road from McHenry to their j seives that same comes from an of Regular Meetings Bent Rides and Outdoor Picaks Will Be the Order 0 * Altho we are unable to account for it, but it remains a fact that the last regular meeting of the members of the Community club as held at the McHenry House on Monday evening of this week proved the Hpeppiest" yet held by that body. Was it because the "boys" were all in an exceptionally cheerful frame of mind or was it the good "eats?" No matter what the real cause might have been, everyone went home happy. Shortly after seven o'clock and led by our jolly, fine cheer leader, J. C. Holly, the hungry lot filed into the porch dining hall, where, while awaiting the arrival of the good things, a number of old as well as some of the later songs were put over with a bang that made one feel happy at being present. Everyone appeared to be takipg a part in the songs and by the time the first course was served everybody was ready to do it justice. In a manner of displaying to mine host, J. C. Bickler, that the course went over big a few more songs were sung while awaiting the second te and so on thru the entire meal. It was one happy gathering to say the least. The business Session was called to order with Pres. W. L. Howell presiding. One of the first things which came up for discussion was a bill presented to the club by N. M. Bowers, for alleged damages to his land by the volunteer workers who went out during the spring mud to make passable a stretch of road east of this village. It was voted to pay Mr. Bowers $10.00 for the damages sustained. The matters of last Wednesday's special sales day also came up for a general discussion and, while some did not appear to approve of the making such a day a monthly affair, others thought it would prove a good business venture. This matter was left to the business methods committee for final disposition. Altho it does not look as if these sales will be put on monthly during the summer months, it is quite likely that something of this sort will be attempted during the fall and winter. One of the most pleasing reports of the evening eame from the membership committee, which reported a total of ninety-six members to date, with a number of good prospects ready to sign Up. The committee is now oqt to raise the number to 150. The public' affairs committee re- ITERS OF LOCAL AS PICKED UP BT PLAI REPORTERS DURING city. The chairman then arranged a meeting of the delegation with the good roads committee of McHenry, which was held immediately after the close of our meeting. The publicity committee expressed disappointment at not being able to present a proof of the advertisement which is to run in six consecutive Friday issues of the Chicago Tribune. The first of the series was to have been run in the metropolitan daily last Friday and unless proofs are received and O. K.'d in time the first advertisement will not appear this week. It it hoped% however, that the first insertion may be given no later than the June 2 issue. Speaking for the house committee as to future meetings of the club, the chairman announced that a recess would be taken until after the close of the busy season, when the indoor meeting^ would be continued as in the past. In the meantime, however, two or possibly three outdoor affairs will take place, the first of which will be in the form of a boat ride and picnic, and which is to take place on Tuesday, June 20. The club members will g{ven the honor of making the trip on the new boat now under construction at the Hunter boat factory. This will be the boat's initial trip. Further details regarding this outing are now in the making and it is to be hoped that every member of the club can arrange to be present. Another boat ride and picnic, to which an invitation will be extended to the ladies, will take place some time later in the summer. A. V. Hannifin, president of the Fox River ft Lakes Improvement association and who has enrolled as a member of the local organization, was present at the meeting and left with us much information which is sure to prove of value to our club in the fu ture. Mr. Hannifin is very much en thused with the Fox river valley and chain of lakes as well as the future welfare of McHenry and her citizens and has given us his promise that he as well as the association is back of authentic source. Anonymous letters usually come from some one lacking back bone and therefore promptly find their way into our waste paper basket, which is amply large to take care of all of these contributions. The Plaindealer hasV always invited items of news as well as constructive criticism and we are always willing to publish the letter when property signed, but we are unwilling to act as the goat for the other fellow. h Dance at NeUte- '• There will be dancing lumbia park pavilion near Johnsburg bridge on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights, May 28, 29 and 30. Thos. W. Harrigan's orchestra of Chicago has been engaged and will furnish the music on each night. Mr. Harrigan's orchestra made .an instantaneous hit with the dancers at} Nell's last week and the announcement that this musical organization has , agaitf been engaged should bring joy to the hearts of the patrons of the place. Dance tickets, $1.00 per couple; war tax, 10 cents; total, $1.10. A very cordial^ invitation fe. expended to everyone to attend. was the fact that the Fox Rhrer ft Lakes Improvement association not only stood for the improvement of our river and chain of lakes to the north, but that their activities before long would be extended as far south as Algonquin and as far north as Burlington, Wis. He also added that the association was directing considerable of its attention towards the bringing of cement roads in this direction. As a special attraction for the even ing the president, assisted by the publicity committee, arranged for the appearance of Murray K. Hill, a Chicago entertainer, who kept the gathering Hannifin is very much en- j in an uproar of laughter for about twenty minutes.
