Kavanagh of Chicago will appear at the Empire theatre next Monday evening, Nov. 6. Judge . Marcus A. Kavanagh of Chicago is famous in many parts of the United States for the reforms for which he stands in court procedure and law enforcement. Excepting s very brief period spent on the appel late bench, for more than twenty years he has presided over the trial of civil and criminal proceedings. Some of the cases tried by Judge Kavanagh have become celebrated causes in the legal history of the country. They touch almost every phase of human nature, from that of the timid thief taking his first frigji' ened step in the underworld to that of the hardened assassin who killed in darkness and escaped, leaving no sight or trace, except five little finger prints that afterwards brought him to the gallows. Among the cases tried by Judge Kavanagh have been more than fifteen hundred divorce cases. The press of the country has repeatedly called attention to his work. His language, for instance, in sentencing Joseph Welcome to life imprisonment was printed in nearly every important newspaper in the country. The New York Sun called it a classic from the bench, while the New York Herald gave this sentence, with the comments upon- it, two full illustrated pages in its Sunday supplement. Two universities, Niagara and Notre Dame, have honored Judge Kavanagh with the degree of LL. D. As a lecturer he has been heard enthusiastically in almost every part of the country. His lectuxaa are both interesting and scholarly.

Langworthy, % the Chicago expert who was recently engaged to prepare the papers for McHenry's proposed sewerage system, appeared before the village board, which met in special session here last Thursday evening, and there presented the. documents for the mayor's signature. While Mayor Stoffel saw fit not to sign the estimate on that evening, he asked that the papers be left with him so that $ame could be gone over by his own attorney. A meeting of the board of local improvements is scheduled to take place this (Thursday) evening, at which time the members expect the mayor, who is also the acting head of the impsDvement board, to have signed the estimate and thus enable them to pass the sewerage resolution. In view of the fact that Atty. A. H. Pouse, for the board of local improvements, asked for a dismissal of the case when same came up for hearing in the MeHenry county- court a short time ago, the whole matter leading up to ttye final court decision will necessarily Ikave to he gone over again. ' This means that another public hearing will have to be held and, ac cording to plans, this will take place some time this month, on or about Nov. 17. Then will follow the court action. According to men who appear better posted on the matter, it will be at least six months before work on the proposed sewerage sys tern can begin, even if all of the court action is favorable to the im provement. The estimate, as presented at last Thursday night's meeting of the vil lage board, remains the same as before, approximately $63,000f Of course it is naturally expected that the contract price will come below that figure. • According to what one may ha able to gather around town, considerable of the opposition has died away since the previous hearing. A number of the river property owners appear to be willing to withdraw their objections, while the opposition within the corporate limits has also subsided very materially, which seems to indicate that the general public is beginning to appreciate the fact that MeHenry is entitled to a system of sewers and that fighting the proposition only means an added burden to the tax payers. As stated above, the very earliest that work on the proposed improvement can start will be next April and unless a contract is let at that time and work started immediately our streets will be torn lip for the greater part of the summer. Let us hope that actual work may be started month earlier than expected at this time. LATER: Since the above article has been put into type, we are informed by Mayor Stoffel that he has decided not to sign the estimate this evening, but will now await the de velopments of a conference between members of the board, the Chicago attorney and objectors, which is scheduled to take place in Chicago tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. INSTALLING BOILER AT CHURCH Brick and Stone Work at New St. Patrick's Nearly Completed v Party 8t Agnes girls <yf St. Mary's parish will give a card and bunco party at the parish hall on Tuesday evening, Nov 7. Light rpfmsluiientn will be served. Admission, 36 oents. everybody welcome. i :• • ***• * The big boiler, which is to heat the new St. Patrick's church, is now being installed, while a few more days of favorable weather will see the completion of the brick and stone work. The men are very anxious for the completion of this work so that they may complete the unfinished portion of the roof. A green colored type tile which is to form the roof over the big edifice is on hand, while the work of applying same will be started within a few days. As the work progresses the building seems Jo enlarge and at this time the visitor is given some sort of an idea as to its capacity as well as beauty when completed. . _ First Methadiat Chudl , *- ^ Missionary Sunday will be {Observed thru out all the departments of the church. Missions will furnish the theme for the worship service in the Sunday school and at the church service immediately following the same theme will prevail, the sermon • being entitled. "World Kinship."

Everyone will find a cordial welcome at all of the services. C Card of Thaaka We take this public manner of expressing our sincere thanks to those1 who in any way assisted us and extended their sympathy in our recent sad bereavement, to the donors of floral contributions, the members of the C. O. F. and Knights of Columbus. ta Improve Feat of Hfaai Street la This Village Jv r Reaidents in the lower end of tiafall, and especially those residing along Broad and the streets adjacent, are very desirous of opening the lower end of that street abutting on Fox river for the establishment of a municipal beach. One of the instigators in the move* ment, when interviewed by a Plaindealer scribe the other day, appeared very enthusiastic over the project apd assured us that a sufficient amcunt of interest has already been awakened among the residents of that entf of town to see their dreams brought to a full realization. MeHenry, with one of the most beautiful streams to be found in the country, is withoilt a municipal bathing beach. Why such a condition should be allowed to continue appears beyond the comprehension of those who favor the project. In fact, three distinct beaches could be had along the course of our stream and this with a little effort on the part of our people could be made possible. Up to the present time only a very small per cent of our people have seen fit to make use of our river as a place for bathing. This one place, which has been used principally by the little folks, is at the foot of Elm street. Those who are boosting for the establishment of a bathing beach and small park at the foot of Broad street believe that this eighty-eight foot stretch can, with a little work, be made into a place of real beauty. The village board should be perfectly willing to allow the boosters to go ahead with their plans. A number have already signified their willingness to contribute financially and otherwise in an effort to clear the street from its tall grass and underbrush, erect lawn benches and probably plant a few shrubs. A meeting of those interested may be called some time in the near future. In the meantime, let's talk the matter- over and learn the other- fellow's attitude towards such an improvement.

Waukegan Boa Here Tweaday One of the big motor buses as operated along the North Shore by the Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad company, arrived in MeHenry from Waukegan about the noon hour on Tuesday of this week. This is the company that was granted permission to operate an omnibus service in our village a short time ago. While the service between this point and Waukegan has not as yet been inaugurated, the trip on Tuesday was probably made to ascertain the distance covered and the time consumed in making the trip. We understand that a regular schedule between the two points is to be started early next year Decision of Illinois SupresMi Court James Revor has asked The Plaindealer to make a correction of a wrong impression that may have been gained from last week's article relative to the fence controversy on the West Side. The decision as rendered was that of the Illinois supreme court, to which the case was carried from that of the MeHenry county court Mr. Revor was represented by Atty. V. S. Lumley of Woodstock. Close* Electrical Display Kaon Harry Levine, who for Rome time past has rented the south room in the Jacob Justen block in Centerville for an electrical display room and work shop, moved his effects therefrom on Tuesday of this week and for the present will store his stock at his home east of the river. The owner of the building will, in the future, use the room for the display of his pianos and phonographs. high mass Bishop Muldoon rendered a most beautiful sermon on the significance of All Saints' and All Souls days. He also dwelt at some length upon the situation in the Near East, where thousands are dying from star, vation, and ekpressed the hope that the members of the parish would respond most liberally in the collection to be held f£r these sufferers on that day. llie real festivities of the day started just before the late high mass when the bishop and clergy were escorted from the parish house to the church by local and visiting members of fourth degree Knights of Columbus, altar boys and the confirmation class. After the procession had reached the church, entrance was made to the strains of beautiful music by the church organist and choir. High mass was begun shortly after the clergy had reached the akar. The choir sang a most beautifufroass. As stated above, the bishop rendered a most eloquent sermon during the mass and addressed the class before and after confirmation in his usual loving manner. During the confirmation William Smith acted as sponsor for the boys and Mrs. Anton Schneider for the girls. At the conclusion of the day's festivities the bishop and clergy were again escorted to the parish house, the same order of march being carried out as in making the entrance. The members of the class to receive the sacrament are as follows: Marion Wegener, William Kelley, Jean Matthews, Evelyn May, Alvina Freund, Louis Oertel, Frank Steinsdoerfer, Alex Justen, Albert Blake, Edward Frett, Edward Thennes, Alvin Steinsdoerfer, Joseph Brefeld, Lena Herdrick, Bertha Justen, Anna Blake, Marcella Kennebeck, Flora Freund, Mathilda Miller, Marie Wirtz, Margaret Wirfs, Carl Brefeld, Rosina Young, Florence M.

The early reformation day--of Calvin, Luther and others--were days of unbroken peace and unquestioning faith as compared with the present. Is the whole foundation of religion swept away by this new storm of doubt and this tidal wave of modern skepticism? "What Shall We Believe?" It is a question that has burned its way into the hearts of thousands, even against their wills. Mr. Grimes will discuss this question at the Universalist church next Sunday morning at 11:00 o'clock. All are welcome. The Sunday school will meet at 10:00 o'clock as usual. The workers appreciate the growing interest in the work of the Sunday school.

However, it is the opinion of his physician that he will be able to return home very soon. Mrs. William Marum. The newly weds will make their home in Chicago, where the groom is employed in the postoffice. The bride left MeHenry several years ago and before going to Chicago was employed at Woodstock.

Enlarging Boat Storage Kramer & Muelier, local boat builders, whose plant is located on Fox river at the foot of Pearl street, are erecting another store room just west of their factory. The new storing quarters will be 75 feet long and 35 feet wide. Every season sees an increase in the number of boats owned by summer resorters in this region and therefore the necessity of more added winter quarters. A few of the more enthusiastic lovers of motor boating have refused to put up their boats for the winter and even at this late date several launches are still plying the waters of our beautiful Mavea to Keailworth ; John Pikna is closing his radiator repair shop in the Weber building on Riverside Drive and moving his equipment to Kenilworth, where he will engage in business. He will leave for the new location the first of the week and, according to a survey as made by Mr. Pikna, the new field offers very encouraging possibilities. John is a first-class workman and we wish him Doat Like Late Arrival of Mail MeHenry people do not appear to take very kindly to the late arrival of our morning mail and it is not at all unlikely that the postai department will be petitioned to give us an! lage on Wednesday earlier delivery.
