A number of arrests were made there last week. Every town in the country should enforce its speed laws. Mrs. John Phalin, of Harvard, underwent an operation at the Cottage hospital in that city one day last week for the removal of 953 gallatones. A Chicago specialist performed the operation.

The Interstate Sand ft Gravel company at Libertyville now has in operation a new suction dredge which digs and washes the gravel with one operation. The dredge is operated by electridty. The company is now furnishing the gravel for the construction of a new concrete highway between Libertyville and Area. James Cape, member of the James Cape ft Sons Construction company, believes that road construction work will be cheaper in another year. He buses his opinion on the fact that it is almost impossible to get brick now and that gravel is very scarce because of the inability of railroads to haul It in sufficient quantities. His company is now doing some road work over in Lake county. To make a roadway wear nowadays it needs some kind of asphatic surface. Government bulletins show •Imt 9 coal tar preparation put en could, or asphaltic oil, can be put oh for seven or eight cents a square yard for materials. It can be put on successfully on any road already built with gravel, stone, or similar material and which is in a thoroughly compacted and reasonably smooth condition. The cost, of oourse, will be principally labor. It is foolish to spend money rebuilding roads and then fail to protect them from the strain of motor travel by the application of such material. Fourteen residents of St. Charles must appear in the Kane county circuit court in September and show reason why they should not pay the $2,000 guaranteed by them for the appearance of the Central Chautauqua of Indiana in their city last summer. The chautauqua company, plaintiff, alleges that .the defendants have failed to pay the agreed sum guaranteed to cover the chautauqua's expenses. Defendants, on the other hand, declare that the advance agent for the chautauqua told them that the chautauqua would not appear unless 200 guarantors were obtained. This, they say, induced them to give their signatures. After the agent had second fourteen signers he left. Due to poor attendance, because of other events in progress at the time the chautauqua was staged, gate receipts lacked considerabe of paying the bare expenses. If the 14 guarantors are forced to shoulder the entire cost tlMQr will have to contribute about $143 each. >•„ EDWIN WILLIAM SCHILLO Waa Bora on June , 5, 1888, aad Died August 10, 1922. Edwin William Schillo, mention of whose death is made elsewhere in this issue of The Plaindealer, was born in Chicago on June 5, 1888. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Schillo, who have maintained a summer home at Pistakee Bay for more than twenty-five years. The deceased, therefore has spent all of his summers at Pistakee during all these years and since his marriage he has continued to make that point iys summer home. He was united in marriage tc Miss Josephine Barrett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos, E. Barrett, of Chicago, in the fall of 1912. Two children were born to them, one passing away only last fall. Ed" Schillo, as he was commonly known to his hundreds of friends, was one of the most popular young men around Pistakee and during his boyhood days took a great interest in water sports, winning more than one sail boat race run under the auspices of the Pistakee Yacht club. Some years ago he entered into the automobile business fn Chicago and at the time of his death was president of the Schillo Sales Co., which had its salesrooms and offices on Michigan avenue and which business he has successfully piloted to its present state of development, being recognized as one of the leading automobile establishments along auto row. The deceased is survived by a griefstricken wife and or.« child, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Adam Schillo, of Chicago; two sisters, Mrs. Niels Juul and Mrs. Kier Davis, also of Chicago, and one brother, Albert, of Trenton, N. J, Besides these he leaves un countable friends and acquaintances. The funeral took place from his late home at 4648 North Pauline street. Chicago, at 9:80 o'clock on Monday morning of this week and thence from Our Lady of Lordes Cath. olic church Rev. Lonergan, of Durant. 111., formerly a chaplin in the army and a very good friend of the deceased, preached a beautiful sermon. The funeral was one of the largest held in Chicago in recent years, nearly eight hundred automobiles taking part in the funeral procession. The floral contributions, an outward expression of the high esteem in which he was held, were not only many but of great splendor. Six former members of his yacht sailing crew at Pistakee Bay carried! the remains to their last resting place in Calvary cemetery, they being: R. R. Graham, Wm. Lorimer, Jr., Leonard Lorimer, J. Stewart Ren- Wick, Walter A. Kraft and Peter W. Seye. The honorary pallbearers were: C. A. Greiner, Clyde E. DeBolt, Dr. Frank E. Dehram, Dr. Chas. Schott, George A. Stilling, Allen A. Rankin, N. Lena, Wm. A. Smith aad Frank Hattrem. Allen C. Rankin, a life-long friend to the deceased, has penned the following high tribute to the deceased, which has appeared in a number of Chicago's dailies: 'Ed' Schillo is dead, brave, square, honest, fearless Ed Schillo, whom every automobile man in the country from multimillionaire manufacturer down to repair shop mechanic knew for the straight way he steered his course over the track of life. "Pioneer in every development of the motor industry, he fell a martyr to progress when his airplane crashed to the ground at Naperville, 111., on the tenth day of August. With his last thought for others, a warning from the air to those below to run to shelter, he plunged down from the Icarian heights in the knowledge that his own life was doomed. Those of us who knew him know that he faced death as he faced life, straight in the eye. Courage--the courage of endurance as well as the courage of taking a chance --had never failed him before, and it could not have failed him then. If ever there was a gentleman unafraid in a game that demands true courage as its first entrance qualification, that man was Schillo. "Only 34 years old, ha ranked with veterans because he possessed the trail-blazing quality which marks them. Business to him was more than business. It was the proving ground of character, the trenches of the Titans. The motor game, as the steel game before it, has been the struggle of the giants, and Schillo played it according to their code. Not in foolhardiness, because the progress of his work demanded new developments of motors. He raced when racing waa essential for the blazoning of the feats of the automobile. It was this pioneering ideal, this urge to climb the farther mountains of achievement which took him on his last flight. "It is not for his splendid ability^ however, nor for his established success that the 'Row' will miss him most, but for that never-failing friendliness of spirit, that fine comradeship of great-heartedness lthat met us all with warmth and ^ade us godspeed with regret. Old friend! Up to that sky your spirit cleaved we wing you hail and farewell." KILLED WRJlftAJIE fILLS TWO YOUNG MEN MET TERRIBLE DEATHS f > « " Edward W.

Harvest hats at Ericksoa's ; .my vgmtf*'- v"-r - " 21 mm®. £ V J^ „ The people of this community, especially those residing around Pistakee Bpy, were greatly shocked last Friday morning on learning the sad news telling of the horrible death which befell Edward W. Schillo and Roy G. Xelier, at Naperville, the previous evening. News of the terrible disaster was received at the summer home of Mr Schillo at Pistakee Bay shortly after its occurrence and one can easily imagine the terrible shock it must have been to his wife and son and other near relatives who make Pista kee their summer homes. , The following comment, taken from last Friday morning's issue of the Aurora Daily Star, is about as correct a report as we are able to get and we therefore reproduce same: "Two men were instantly killed in a spectacular airplane crash at Naperville last evening at 6:46 o'clock when the plane in which they were flying plunged from a height of one thousand feet to the main street in the presence of hundreds of fipfytatora and was enveloped in flamea. "The dead are: - "Roy G. Keller, 33 years oli, Chicago, world war veteran, son of George A. Keller, of Naperville. "Edward W. Schillo, 34 years old, president of the Schillo Motor Sales Co., Chicago, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam M. Schillo. Plane Falla To Street "The fatal accident occurred when the streets of Naperville were fHIed with people, the plane landing on the pavement of South Water street, two blocks from the heart of the business section. : . "The bodies of Hie men were identified only by means of their watches and belt buckles, and by the Mercer name on the plane, which was not effaced. "Keller, superintendent of the Schillo Sales Co., of Chicago, and Schillo were flying in their plane. They had left the Checkerboard Field, in Chicago, and were on their way to the home of Keller's parents, and it is believed their intention was to stop there, and proceed to Schfllo's home in McHenry. Piloted By Keller 'The plane was piloted by Keller, who was in the aviation corps during the war, and waa said to be a .skilled aviator^ "Keller was guiding the plane. A crowd gathered in the streets, and the whirr of the motor gave evidence that the plane was a large one. There were those among the spectators who suggested that it was Keller's plane. See Plane Plunge. "The plane was headed toward the quarry section of the town, where it is believed a landing was planned. Spectators then saw the plane plunge suddenly, and at first believed that the flyers were just giving the on-lookers a thrill. It precipitated ao rapidly, haw. ever, that in another second the helpless crowd knew that the plane was uncontrollable, and plunging to the ground. The people saw the plane crash^io the pavement and then burst into flames. First On Seeaa "Edward Uric, Assistant Fire Chief, was one of the first on the scene, and with the aid of volunteers, succeeded in extinguishing the fire. Beating back the blaze with their coats, a score of men tried ' to get into the wreckage, and rescue the two men, buried under a twisted mass of steel. "Their efforts were futile, however, and when the flames were extinguished, the bodies of the victims were charred and burnt beyond recognition. They were identified through the nameplate on the wreckage, and by their belt buckles. Schillo also had a watch, bearing his name, while in the part of his coat not damaged by fire, were found several letters and note books, revealing his identity. Death Instantaneous "It is the belief of physicians, who examined the bodies, and of Coroner Hoff, of Naperville, the death occurred as the bodies struck the ground, and was due to the injuries they received in the fall, not from burns or suffocation. "Keller was born and reared in Naperville, and his father is one of the wealthiest and most prominent farmers in the community. He married Miss Ruth Burckal, daughter of Mrs. Louise Burckal, of Naperville, about three years ago, and they have one child. "They made their home in Chicago, on Argyle street, and Keller had a position with the Schillo Motor Co. Mrs. Keller was not informed of her husband's death, but relatives from Naperville went to <%icago last night, to bring her to the home of her parents. Plane Recently Pirdnatl "Since the war, Keller has bee#*Interested in aviation. He did practiceflying at the Checkerboard Field, af-i both cases. I w/ - t, ' The summer cottages surrounding Pistakee Bay practically all use electric service from the Public Service Company's lines. During the past several years this load has been constantly increasing, not only by the addition of private homes and cottages, but through new connections to hotels, summer resorts and business places. Last year a new transformer substation was installed south of the Chapel Hill Golf Clfib to serve this section, and linemen ^re now engaged in further additions; to increase the capacity in this territory. Approximately fifty poles have been replaced around the south side of the bay and additional ttires are being strung from the Sayer Farm to the centers <jf distribution of the leads furnishing the north and south sides of the bay. The program of rebuilding and reinforcing the lTnefivWl*l place them in largely improved condition to furnish additional service in this territory. SAW COMER STORE LAID LARGE CROWD WITNESSED , PRESSIVE EVENT IMFirst Vacation la 34 Yeara. Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Berner, bf this village, are home from a two weeks' visit in the east, the vacation being the first that Mr. Berner has enjoyed in thirty-four years, and needless to say every minute of the trip was thoroly enjoyed by both himself as well as his wife. They went directly from Chicago to Baltimore and from that point visited a number of places of interest in Maryland as well as other Eastern states. A boat trip was enjoyed from Maryland to Atlantic City as were rail and auto trips thru the mountains. They stopped off at Weetover and Fairmont, where Mr. Berner renewed old acquaintances made after his first arrival from the old country. At Fairmont they were guests in the home irf Mr. and Mrs. John W. Carroll with whom th£ MeHenry cobbler made his home for four years after his arrival in this country. He also met and enjoyed visits with a number of other friends who came to this country at about the same time as did Mr. Berner. Two Besot tera Start Treobie. Two young men, said to be resorters at Pistakee Bay, figured in a pretty lively scrap in the lower end of town shortly after the midnight hour last Saturday. It seems that the trouble first started on tjie highway in front of the Fox dance pavilion when a machine occupied by the Chicagoans and a Ford owned and driven by a W. »e¥. Bishop P. J. Charge of Rare Occasion--Large Class Confirmed In Morning. The corner stone of the new St Patrick's church was laid with solemn and impressive religious rites on last Sunday, August 13, by the Right Rev. P. J. MuHoon D. DH Bishop of Rockford, assisted by V number of visiting clergy. It was an historic event in thi annals of the parish and of interest to the ent'.re community for the new structure will be of marked architectural beauty and one in which MeHenry will take increased pride as the building progresses toward completion. The corner stone is, without doubt, of unsurpassed' beauty and in some respects altogether unique for carved on the exposed surfaces of the stone one sees a Celtic Cross with archaic lettering, also Celtic which has been taken from the Book of Kells of the 8th Century. The impressive rites were witnessed by a large number of people, who listened with attentive ear to the eloquent words spoken by the Bishop at the close of the ceremony. j The rite of blessing a corner stone in its present form dates back to the 15th century and in substance two centuries earlier. A cross is . erected about the place where the altar is to be and the Bishop blesses this place with holy water and afterward sprinkles the corner stone, reciting his prayer, "Bless, O Lord, this creature of stone and grant by the invocation of Thy Holy Name that all who with a pure mind shall lend aid to the building of this church may obtain soundness of body and the healing of their souls. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen." The Litany of the Saints is then* recited or chanted and the Psalm CXXVI is said. The stone is then lowered into place with another prayer and again sprinkled with holy water. The outside walls of the church are then sprinkled with holy water and appropriate prayers said after each blessing. All these rites were witnessed Sunday and made a striking impression on the witnesses. In the sermon preached by the Bishop an eloquent exposition was given of the character preaching that would find place from the pulpit of the new church. Only the true doctrine of Christ could be preached there. No place would be found for the vagaries of doctrine purely man-made; charity would be preached, charity that would find no room for bitter prejudices and HAS SOLD EIGHTEEN TRUCKS Local Dealer Leads County In the Sale Of Ford Trucks. son o,f Rn oy iHt arri•s on, o,f R„ ing wood* , u„ nc.h ristian . narrowmi,n de_d ness, that . ^ . j , i A ^ find expression in our day toy attempts John R. Knox, local Ford agent, leads MeHenry county agents in the sale of Ford trucks. In commenting upon the MeHenry county situation, the current issue of the Ford Truck bulletin has the following to say: "MeHenry county presents an interesting study in the sale of Ford trucks and light chassis. John R. Knox, at MeHenry, Kroeger ft Rauhut at Crystal Lake, and V. D. Sherburne at Woodstock, all have yearly commercial car estimates of 12. The percentage standing of the first named dealer for the first seven months of 1922 is 150. The second dealer rates 42 and the third stands at 17 per cent. Knox has delivered 9 trucks and 9 chassis, Kroeger ft Rauhut no trucks and 5 chassis, and Sherburne no trucks and 2 chassis.. Of tiie 9 one-ton trucks delivered by Knox three were put out in July. Asked where he sold them, he said, to tjie farmers. He added that he would sell a lot more to farmers before the year was over." Besides selling eighteen trucks the local dealer has also sold and delivered a large number of cars. Owing to a very rapid increase in production, IVfr. Knox, in common with other Ford dealers, is now making quite prompt deliveries. As a matter of fact he has almost caught up with orders and purchasers henceforth are assured of very prompt deliveries. ^ ^ ITEMS OF LOCAL AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDSALHK REPORTERS DURING WEEK % What People Are Doing In Thw VBlage and the Immediate Vicinity-- --Other Short Paragraphs Carload of nut coke just received.

The MeHenry Community high school board is experiencing considerable delay in its acquirement of lots three and four in the Herbes tract. These lots include the old Herbes estate house now occupied by William Herbes and Steve Harvey. The property is held by Mrs. Nicholas Stoffel, of Humphrey Neb. Correspondence between the secretary of the school board and a representative for Mrs. Stoffel has been going on for some time, but up to Wednesday no agreement had been reached as to the transfer of the property. It begins to look as if this strip can be acquired only thru condemnation proceedings. lee Cream Sarials. The ladies of St. Mary's church will hold two ice cream socials, the first at Borden's park on Friday evening and the second at the public park, in old town, on Sunday evening.

"Schillo leaves a widow and one son. He was well known in MeHenry. "Hie body of Keiler was removed to the Beidelman undertaking establishment, and that of Schillo to Frederick's undertaking parlors. "Inquests were held last night, and a verdict of accidental death, stating that injuries sustained in the fall were responsible, wai to destroy the educational work »f the church and discrimination in civil life against those of other faith than that of the persecutors. The community was congratulated on having added to its attractions by the erec tion of a beautiful church, the parish was congratulated for its support of the pastor in his efforts, and the pas tor himself was commended by the Bishop for undertaking so great a work. The people wave reminded to not forget the pioneer priests who had gone before and whose struggles and hopes had found such glorious fruition in the present undertaking After the sermon the Bishop imparted plenary indulgence under the usual conditions to the (kneeling) throng.

Anyone doubting as to the prestige given this community thru the estab- » ; lishment of the new golf course here needs only to make one trip to the ! links to be convinced that the enter- ^ prise is one of the biggest drawing v cards ever established here. Very - few towns the size of MeHenry are able to boast of such a course. The auction sale of household Jiftniture as conducted at the Merriman estate house here last Saturday afternoon brought out quite a large number of buyers and as a result nearly everything was sold. The home is to be occupied by MeHenry*# new school superintendent and family, who are moving to this place from Huntley. Sunday was probably the biggest day that MeHenry has enjoyed this season. Hie automobile traffic thru the village was exceedingly heavy, while the railroad brought in hundr& dw Of visitors fof « stay. While most of the Lake county resorts are complaining about dull business, MeHenry is experiencing one of its best summers. The nou.se shortage in MeHenry just now appears to be more acute than ever. A number of families no^t residing here are looking for new lo>^. cations occasioned thru the sale of properties, while others now residing elsewhere are looking for a place into which to move. With only a few houses under construction the prospects are not bright for an improvement over the existing situation. The Terra Cotta factory is still looking for men. Four auto busses now carry the local employees of the plant to and from work daily. In spite of the fact that some of the da- : ; '4^ partments are putting in more or less overtime, the plant doesn't seem to be able to keep up with orders. Stanley Warrington, one of the MeHenry employees, has been looking around for help but reports very poor success. The cement work for a latge poultry house under construction for N. F. Steilen at his recently acquired prop-, erty, in the north end of town, has been completed and the carpeaAani are now at work.
