Grimes, Minister. one week after the deceased had suddenly been stricken with* a weakening spell Occasioned' by his advanced years. .Joseph Schaffer was bom in a smaH hamlet in the vicinity of Coblenz, Germany, on February 9, 1834. At the age of nine, in company with an •elder brother, John, and a few others of that particular neighborhood, he set sail for America, arriving in this country several weeks later after a voyage that had proven a more or less perilous experience. Like many, of the early settlers of that day, the two brothers arrived in this country almost penniless. However, on their arrival at Johnsburg kind friends opened their doors to them, and once settled no time was lost in doing tlteir "bit" towards the breaking up and cultivation of the rich soils of their new country and home. Mr. Schaffer worked out among the farmers of that locality Until he had arrived at his majority. In 1874 he was united in marriage to Hanna Elizabeth Stilling at the Johnsburg church and their first year was passed at farming it on the old German prairie, which since those early days has been developed into some of the richest and most productive farm lands to be found in northern Illinois. The year following he and his bride came to McHenry, where they purchased the farm known at the time as the Rumsey place and located just outside of the south village limits on the Terra Cotta road. -The farm is now owned by the widow of the late John B. Young. Here the deceased continued to make his home until his retirement from active life in 1904, when he and his wife came to this village, where they purchased the Oliver N. Owen house on Waukegan street. Mrs. Schaffer passed away here in April, 1910. Mr. Schaffer was considered a good farmer and a firm believer in up-todate machinery. He is credited with having been one of the first farmers in this locality to own and operate a threshing machine and for a number of years did most of the threshing for the farmers thruout McHenry township. « Since the death of his wife, his daughter, Mrs. F. E. Boger, has been keeping house for him in his Waukegan street home. The deceased is survived by five children and six grandchildren. The children are: Mrs. F. E. Boger, Henry J., John W. and Mrs. Ben Adams of this village and Michael G. of Crystal Lake. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church in this village at 9:30 o'clock last Saturday mornwith Rev. Charles S. Nix officiat- _ Interment was made in the family lot in St. Mary's cemetery. Card of Thanks We take this public manner of expressing our sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends for their assistance before and after the death of our beloved one-as well as to the donors of flowers and to Rev. Charles Nix. The Children. Vulcanizing Shop to Move Waiter J. Freund^ who has been conducting a vulcanizing shot in the M. A. Thelen harness shop on the West Side during the past several months, is this week moving his machinery and equipment to the Laures building on Main street, where he will be found in the future.

SCHOOL ENROLLMENT 260 Fnakmn Class Largest la * of McHenry School History The total enrollment of the McHenry community high and the McHenry public schools for the first week was 260, an increase of ten over a year ago* and a decrease of eight of two years ago. The enrollment of the high school by years is as follows:- Seniors Juniors Sophomores ....14 • ••*»•»,• *.">.•» ».«•...28 » .« « « . . . 6 6 *£i VV' J Votul. .117 Tfcre grade enrollment is as follows: First grade . Second grade third grade . Fourth grade Fifth grade Sixth grade ., Seventh grade Eighth grade <>»** fi-' Total. .143 This year's freshman class is the largest in, the history of the McHenry high school. Fifty-eight graduated from the eighth grades in the village and* surrounding schools last spring. Of this. number fifty-one have enrolled in our high school this fall. This is an unusually large percentage and speaks well for the educational ideals of the community. The grade school attendance is practically the same as that of last year. Notes The high school met in convocation on Monday of this week. * After some general announcements the students engaged in songs. The senior class met on Wednesday evening and elected the following officers for the coming year: President, Floyd Foss; secretary and treasurer, Bertha Schiessle. The juniors met in a class meeting on Tuesday and elected the following officers for the year: President, Gladys Rietesel; secretary and treasurer, Carolyn Steffes. Picniced at Wlag Pafck' Forty members of the McHenry Masonic lodge and McHenry chapter, O. E. S., enjoyed a basket picnic at Wing park, Elgin, on Tuesday of this week. The picnicers left this village i automobile about ten o'clock. After enjoying a basket dinner the merry gathering proceeded to make the best of the afternoon, the chief diversion being games of various kinds and a baseball game. Those who made the trip to the Watch city report a most enjoyable time. The return trip was started about 6:30 o'clock. Erects Pergola dyde Kent has further enhanced the beauty of his residence on the corner of Green and Waukegan streets by the addition of a pergola, which has been erect^ to the jast side of the building. - Flaahboards Removed From Dam In accordance with a resolution as passed at a meeting of the officers and board of directors of the Fox River & Lakes Improvement association held at Fox Lake a short time ago, the flashboards have been removed from the dam in Fox river near this village and as a natural consequence the water has gone down nearly a foot. The water in Fox river, especially in the vicinity of the dam, has been in anything but a stage of purity during the past two weeks or more and a general flushing of the stream here will, no doubt, prove beneficial. Whether or not the flashboards will be replaced this fall remains a conjecture. The funds of the association are very nearly depleted and unless property owners and others interested in the welfare of this community as a summer resort lend their financial aid it is very doubtful if the association will be able to continue its good work in another year. Very Much Disappointed A number of resorters along Fox river as well as business men and others of this village are thiB week expressing their dissatisfaction over the removal of flash boards at the Fox river dam below McHenry. A number of boat owners, who had planned to spend the month of September at their summer homes, are said to have returned to Chicago very much disappointed over the action taken by the Fox River A Lakes Improvement association. An injunction, we are told, was taken out to prevent the association from taking the step it did, but came too late. An effort is to be made, so we are informed* to have the flash boards replaced. Golf Course For Piatakee An important meeting in the interest of the new golf club, to be known as the Pistakee Golf club, and located in the vicinity of Pistakee Bay, is advertised to take place at the Pistakee Yacht club house at Pistakee Bay next Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, daylight saving time. A committee has beeft working on this proposition arid has some Very encouraging news, which will be disclosed at the meeting. The meeting will be an open one and everyone interested in golf and the establishment of the proposed club is kindly asked to be present. . Public Card Party The members of St. Clara court, W. C. O. F., of St. Mary's Catholic church will hold *a public card party in th€" church hall on Thursday evening of next week, Sept. 21. Bunco and five hundred will be played and refresh ments served by the ladies of the court. A charge of 35 cents will be made. The net proceeds of the occasion will be used in the purchase of articles for the coming fair, which is to be held in November. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. It's a Girl Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Buck welcomed a bright baby daughter into their home on Park avenue last Sunday morning. H. E. is bearing up bravely under the weight of his added responsibilities. 3WB CASE TOMORROW WILL COME UP BEFORE JUDGE BARNES Qty Attorney of Waukigun •*» Represent Objectors With Attys. Reuse and Mullen Engaged by Beard The McHenry sewer case will again come up in the McHenry county court at Woodstock tomorrow (Friday) morning. The objectors will appear at this time as will the members of the board of local improvements of this village. The objectors, we are informed, will be represented by the city attorney of Waukegan, while the local board will have as its representatives Atty. A. H. Fouse of this village and Arthur Mullen of Woodstock. That both sides feel confidant of a favorable decision from the court is apparent. The members of the local body as well as their supporters feel that there isht a thing which can possibly liirider them from going ahead and putting in the improvement, while the objectors declare that they will present sufficient evidence that will stay the improvement for the time being at least. , The one big fight firqm the objectors, so we are informed, will be hinged on the location of the purification system and disposal plant, which, according to the survey, are to be located near the west shore of Fox river, east of the end of Waukegan street Objectors to this location have been doing considerable work of late. Summer h§me owners on both sides of the river south of the proposed location have drawn into the battle and from curtent reports a number of these have consented to do what they can to induce the local board to choose another site for the disposal of McHenry's sewerage. On the other hand members of the local board and their supporters proclaim that objections would come no matter where the disposal plant would be located. They further point out that the cost of carrying McHenry's sewerage two or three miles out of the village limits would be prohibitive. Both factions afe set for a real battle and from the arguments that may be heard there will be an interesting time at the county court when it comes time for the taking of evidence. Those who have been boosting for sewerage are unwilling to give up their fight and declare that they will keep on until their wishes have finally been granted them. The objectors, too, are just as determined that the improvement will not go in as planned and are going to Woodstock to fight it out to the last ditch. According to those who appear better posted on the matter, it will probably be another two weeks before a. final disposition has been made on the matter by the court and then the people of this municipality will know definitely whether or not McHenry is to have sewerage. No doubt McHenry will be quite well represented at Woodstock tomorrow when the case conies up before Judge C. P. Barnes. Pleasantly Surprised : On the eve of his departure for South Bend, Ind., where he will attend school at the University of Notre Dame, Harold Knox was most pleasantly surprised by a group of twentyfive young people, who gathered at his home at Terra Cotta to bid him farewell. The evening was spent in various amusements and the time passed all too quickly. Dainty ref reshments.of ice cream and cake were served at the close of a pleasant evening, after which the guests departed, wishing their host a most successful school year. Baseball Team at Cary The McHenry baseball team mil journey to Cary next Sunday afternoon, where the boys will make a determined effort to wipe out the defeats handed them by the Cary aggregation during the past summer. While the members of the local team fully realize and appreciate the fact that they are up against a real outfit when they face Cary, the boys feel that they are just as good as the down river team and will attempt to demonstrate that fact next Sunday. N<f doubt a big delegation of McHenry fans will accompany the team. Will Build Summer Home F. A» Kartheiser of Chicago, who with his family spent the past summer on our river here, is planning the erection of a modern summer home on his newly acquired lots on the east shore of Fox river south of the bridge. Mr. Kartheiser purchased two lots from the Heimer estate just before his return to Chicago a short time ago and work on the summer home is expected to* start this fall." Evidently one season's stay along our beautiful stream was enough to convince the family that our resort district is satisfactory. Hunter Boat Regular trips to the lotus hods every day at 9:00 a. m. and 1:30 p. m. Special boats at any hour.- For further information call McHenry j«a. 7 or 77-J. ROCK FORD DELEGATION COMING Will ife Cueat8 of Everett Sr., Here Sunday Hunter, Everett Hunter, Sr., president of the local boat manufacturing company bearing his name, will act as host to approximately one hundred prominent business men and members of the Masonic SKrine of Rockford here next Sunday. It is expected that the big delegation, carrying a brass band, will arrive in Mcftenry some time during the morning hours. Dinner will be served them at Justen's hotel, after which the big passenger steam, Gladola, owned and operated by the Hunter boat line, will carry the visitors up the river and around the lakes. They expect to return to McHenry between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, after which the band will probably render a musical program on the lawn at Justen's hotel. Entertained the Teachers The members of the M. E. Ladies Aid society entertained the teachers of the community high and grade schools at Woodman hall on Tuesday evening of this week, the occasion being attended by about fifty patrons and friends of the two schools. The event was given for the purpose of meeting the teachers of the schools in the hope that such an occasion would assist in stimulating more interest in our educational institutions. A short address of welcome was jnade by Rev. R. Sanger of the M. E. church, while Prof. C. H. Duker also gave a short talk, during which he thanked the ladieS for their thoughtfulness and for the exceptionally fine time afforded. A program and games made up an exceptionally enjoyable evening and at an appropriate hour refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cake and coffee* were served. The guests of honor were: Prof. C. H. Duker, Gordon Stringer, Misses Blanche Pryor, Kathryn Ashburner, Gertrude Kisch, Cleora Johnson of the high school; Misses Mary Kinney, Alice Knbx, Nellie Doherty, Mary Bonslett, Eleanor Phalin and Pearl Claxton of the grade school. All present report a fine time. Sunday Evening Train Taken Off The Chicago passenger, which during the summer months left this station at 7:20 every Sunday evening, has been removed, the train having made its last run on Sept. 3. Quite a number of Chicagoans, who did not know of the train's removal, arrived i underwent at the ^tation last Sunday evening with the intention of going back home on this train, but to their surprise learned that this was impossible. However, in order that the crowd might not be disappointed, the Lake Geneva special, which as a rule does not stop at this station, was flagged and took on passengers at this point. Whether or not this practice will be continued is not known. The 7:33 Sunday evening passenger, which makes Chicago via Elgin, is still running, but it is only a matter of a short time before this train will also be discontinued. Passengers taking the latter train may change at Crystal Lake . for Chicagp. Other trains which hove been removed from the schedule are the north bound passenger due here at 2:25 p. m. and the south bound leaving this station at 6:55 p. m. and the 6:17 south bound Monday only.

Directors' association of the U. S. A., which takes place in that city for four days, beginning next Tuesday, Sept. 19. Mr. Justen made Denver his hpm« from 1910 to 1915, during which time he was employed by the Denver Gas A Electric Light company. His arrival in the western city a week prior to the* holding of the convention was planned in order to give him a little more time to call on old friends. He arrived in Denver last ^Thursday evening and writes that the train service proved quite disappointing. Ford Sedan Catches Fire Volunteer fire fighters, using a hose and chemical extinguisher, fought nearly twenty minutes before they were able to subdue a blaze underneath the hood of Dr. D. G. Wells' Ford sedan last Friday morning. A short circuit is believed to have started the fire, which was discovered a short time after the machine had ITEMS OF LOCAL HVTEREST AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS DURING company, been in use! and. while same was parked along the curb on the west side of Green street near the owner's home. The damage to the machine, which has since then been repaired, was slight. • Deputy Collector Dead Edgar Theriault, deputy collector of international revenue and -whose official capacity brought him to McHenry last year, passed away at his late Chicago home last Friday.

The annual election of officers of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, will take place at their H»H here this (Thursday) evening. A good attendance is desired. Those from this locality who visited the Libertyville and Elkhorn, Wisn fairs were a bit disappointed with the exhibits. The fairs this year did not come up to those held m recent years, so visitors declare. Considerable soft coal is being hauled these days. While some feel that hard coal will be hard to get the coming winter, others are of the opinion that there will be a fair supply of this coal in the near future. Confirmation will take place at St. Mary's Catholic church here some' time this fall. As confirmation is tendered by the bishop, such an occasion occurs but once every few years and therefore the classes, are usually large. Mrs. John Engeln, who recently quite a serious operation at tty» Garfield Park hospital in Chicago, was able to return to her home here Monday. Altho still quite weak, the patient is making a slow but satisfactory progress. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Monear are now occupying their comfortable new home in the Edgewater subdivision, east of Fox river and a short distance south of the bridge. They moved in last Saturday. Wm. J. Welch and F. A. _ Cooley built the home. The dance at the Fox pavilion, in spite of the disagreeable weather, was very well attended last Saturday evening. The fact that a number qi those in attendance had driven a considerable distance has once more demonstrated the popularity of the place. On account of unavoidable circumstances the Perfect bakery, located in the Peter B. Freund building on the West Side, did not open last Saturday as had been expected. However, it is the hope of the proprietor to have the place In operation very shortly. / The next regular meeting of St. Mary's court, C. O. F., will be held, at their hall on Tuesday evening of next week, Sept. 19. *n*e hall question and several other mr-tters of importance will come up for discussion and for this reason a large attendance is ,, desired. H. H. Fay, loeal agent for the Standard Oil company, hds received notice that the business of the company is to be carried on on a strictly cash basis in the future. Placards, calling attention to the change, are now conspicuously displayed on the company's trucks here. An injunction, 'designed to prevent the Fox River A Lakes Improvement association from removing the flashboards at the dam, came too late, so we are told. According to reports current about the village quite a number of property owners along the Fox are considerably put out over the action of the association. The meeting advertised to take place at the American Legion hall last Friday evening for the purpose of talking over matters relating to a big booster meeting in support of the bonus bill did not materialise. Another effort, to hold such will probably be made in future., Thos. Mead, member of the West Ward Ho Golf club ttf Chka«o» visited the McHenry golf dub grounds one day recently as the guest of F. E.
