AN La>«a INSTALLATION Asaamblage flair Dump 6M«iu Seated Befera the largfat assemblage that has ever attended * Iflok aecaston of the camp, feenewly ilactaJ oOcers of Rfverview camp, R. N. A., were impressively installed on Tuesday evening of last week, the event taking place at the X, of C. hall. The hall was most beautifully decorated for this festive occasion in the camp's colors of purple and white and thus presented a scene that proved a real feast for the tyes. Mrs. Florence Cobb acted in the capacity of installing officer and carried out her role most effectively as well as most pleasingly. She was ably assisted in the work by Miss Valrina Wentwnrth as ceremonial marshal, Mrs. Alfa Frazer as installing chancellor and Mrs. Gertrude Schaefer and Mrs. Mayme Bickler as musicians. The newly installed' graces and assistant marshal escorted the officers to their respective stations. The entrance to the various stations was made underneath archways ef ferns and carnations. v To little Virginia Engeln was accorded the honor of presenting the oracle and installing officers with gifts from the camp members. She marched to the various stations most gracefully, the presentation being preceded with a short but most approjwiate recitation, which brought forth a warm applause. All three officers responded with words of thanks. Oracle Neighbor Krause presented Mrs. Mayme Bickler with a beautiful gift from the camp for her kindness in assisting at the piano. At the close of the evening's ceremonies six of Miss Kanka's music pupils rendered instrumental solos, which were highly pleasing and added much to the eujoyment of the occasion. This program was followed by an elaborate banquet and then dancing by the young people present. The installation has already been written in the dmp's records as the most happy occasion of the kind., ever held by the society. <m i ""'Vi John Strang, aged sixty-seven, ;Tv ^ one of the best known men in Lake cdunty, and where he had resided his -vis entire life and known as the "king of S">J |^cattle buyers," passed away at the " ^ Elgin state hospital last Friday morn- • ing, in wWeh institution he was taken ^ following a general breakdown in •ji health suffered a few months ago. ;if* Three fine cows were killed by a - ">ff| b°lt of lightning which is be- " 4 , liaved to have struck the windmiH g-• tower on the farm of Charles J.

The attendance at both morning and evening services was very good and the series of sermons were listened to with deep attention. The subject matter of the sermons dealt with proofs of the Divinity of Christ and of the establishment of the church of Christ, its growth thru the ages, its wonderful unity, its Apostolicity, its sanctity, its Catholicity. The church was shown as endowed with a divine authority to teach all nations and as being safe guarded in its teaching from any possibility of error by the continued and abiding presence of Christ and the Spirit of Truth. Contemporary attacks against Christ's divinity were shown to be not new, but as finding fitting exemplification in the attacks of the Scribes and the Pharisees during Christ's visible sojourn on earth. Unceasing prayer in union with the prayer of Christ was urged as the best means of aiding earnest unity and truth and of PWMJCERS NAME WATTIES ^X^NNUAL MEETING BEfcD i* _ SATURDAY Company For Eight Over Price Now Being built upon Benefit Dance Next Thuraday A benefit dance, the net proceeds of which will be turned over to Joseph Schmitt, a brother member, will be sponsored by the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, at their hall here next Thursday evening, Feb. 1. Mr. Schmitt is the young man who so unfortunately lest his left hand in a corn shelter several weeks ago and his brother members of the McHenry council have taken this manner of doing something for him. The Fox River Four of this village will provide the music for the occasion and tickets will sell at $1.00 each. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to attend and a good thne is assured all. Will Build Home Here Jacob Schaefer, thte carpenter and 1 contractor who, with his mother and j brother, resides on Fox river a short {distance north of the Johnsburg bridge, has just closed a deal with Mrs. Jos. Schneider whereby he became the owner of the lot situated on the corner of Court and Washington streets and upon which he plans the construction of a modern home to be ready for occupancy early this summer. The home will be occupied by the Schaefer family. The deal for the arte of the property was made thru Ben Stilling & Son, McHenry real estate agents. W. C O. F. Card Party Owing to a mi demanding, tie postponement of last week's card party was not announced. St. Pa trida court will hold lha second party ef the series at Hie K. of C. half on Saturday evening, Jan. 2?. Card gfryinr wffl begin promptly atAslfe Will Ask Cent Paid Dairy At the annual meeting of the McHenry local of the Milk Producers' associaton held at Woodman hall here last Saturday morning Frank H. Wattles was elected president and Anton P. Freund, secretary. The meeting was very well attended and brought forth numerous discussions on matters concerning interests of the dairy farmer. Owing to the fact that the annual meeting to be hold in Chicago soon will be conducted on the open plan, giving every member in attendance equal voting power, the election of delegates to the meeting did not take place. The new arrangement, no doubt, will bring forth a larger attendance, as dairymen, especially thruout McHenry county, are beginning to show a greater interest in the milk problems than ever before. The proposition of creating a quarantine fund brought forth a lengthy discussion, after which it was voted that the president appoint a committee of three to go into this matter more thoroly and devise, if possible, •some manner of making such a fund a possibility in the McHenry local. In view of the fact that the Bowman Dairy company is now paying their patrons a bonus of eight cents per hundred for milk delivered at their plants within a radius of fifty miles of Chicago, a committee of three was appointed to consult with the Borden officials and see if that company would not consent to such a premium. The bonus, it is understood, is eight cents above the price now being paid the milk producers. The committee appointed consists of Thos. A. Bolger, Nels Pierson and John Anderson. This subject will be brought up again at the next meeting of the McHenry local, at which time, it is hoped, y?e committee will be prepared to submit some sort of a proposition that will be fair and agreeable to all. The McHenry local is once more in a prosperous state, the membership last year having readied ninety-seven. This is considered very good when it is taken into consideration that there are but about 110 dairies in the territory covered by the local. The price making question was also brought up at the meeting, but nothing much was done along this line, the assemblage, no doubt, feeling that this was a matter to be disposed of by the county organisation. According to word which haa reached McHenry, some of the farmers in the Volo as well as Spring Grove territories are finding themselves in a queer sort of predicament. Some of these dairymen, it seems, have signed marketing company contracts and at the same time are delivering their product to other companies. Over Volo way, we are told, some of the dairymen who signed the marketing company contracts are making their milk deliveries to the Bowman Dairy company plant at Wauconda, while those in the Spring Grove territory are taking their milk to the Weiland Dairy company at Spring Grove. According to their contracts these dairymen should be making deliveries the marketing company's ted at Grajr-k1'« and e outcome of these situa ing watched with a great terest by Dairymen of this The new officers and directors of the McHenry County Milk Producers' association as elected at their recent meeting held at Crystal Lake are as follows: President, Frank J.

Delicious refresh- ' masts wars served* DIED AT SOLDIERS' fHOME John' K. Breate Passed Away daincy Last Saturday at riiJIfflNt IS EXfUUHED R. Brents, only colored to establish a; permanent home in McHenry, and who for more than forty years resided among us, passed away at the Soldiers' Home at Quificy, HI., last Saturday, January 20. "Johnnie," as he was more familiarly known to our populace during the many years he resided: here, was taken to the home about four years ago. He was taken ill at that time and his condition became such that he was no longer able to care for himself. Provisions were then made for his removal to Quincy, where he continued to make his home until answering the final summons. The deceased was born in the South in 1845, being 77 years, three months and 28 days of age at the time of his death. He served his country honorably and well during the days of the Civil war, after which, with hundreds of others who were fighting for the righteous cause, he was accorded an honorable discharge. Accompanied by his wife he came to McHenry in the early eighties and, as previously stated, continued to make his home here until about four years ago. During the first few years oMis residence in McHenry he was employed at the brick yards and later on was named janitor of the McHenry public school, which position he filled with great credit for a period of eighteen years, or until such time as his age prevented him from carrying on the work any longer. His wife passed away in a Chicago hospital after a siege of illness in 1897. Shortly after coming to McHenry the deceased established a home on John street, just west of the Lutheran church, where he resided for many years and which place was owned by him at the time of his death. He also owned other property in Mdflenry at various times during his .residence here, but these holdings wera disposed of some years ago. During the long period of years in which he lived in McHenry Mr. Brents carried himself in a manner that won the high esteem and respect of our entire citizenship and many are the younger folks of the village who so favorably remember "Johnnie" as the school janitor and who was ever cautioning the little folks to wipe their shoes before entering the school building. The little folks of the primary department in those happy days always found "Johnnie" a true friend and one who was ever looking after their best interests. His body was shipped to McHenry. the funeral taking place from the M. E. church on Tuesday afternoon of this week, with Rev. Raymond Sanger officiating. The few remaining Civil war vets who are still with us and who were able to do so turned out* to the funeral as did a number of the American Legion boys, six of whom carried his body to its last resting place in the family lot in Woodland cemetery.

The name plate of the firm occupies a place on the side of the driver's coupe.

Those making up the merry party were: Messrs. and Mesdames A. J. Schneider, Robert Thompson, E. E. Bassett, James N. Sayler, C. E. Mead, Andrew Eddy, Lloyd Eddy and Dr. R. G. Chamberlin and son, Rollo. First Universalis Church Next Sunday morning tha sermon subject will be: "Universalism, the Bible and the Punishment of Sin."

Entertained' Social Wheel Mrs. Geo. Kuhn very pleasantly entertained the members of the Social Wheel at her home on Maple avenue last Thursday afternoon. Bunco was Altho the attendance was not as large as was desired, the bi-monthly meeting of the McHenry Community dub, at held at the K. of C. hall on Tuesday evening of this week, proved one of the most interesting and instructive yet held by the organization. R. I. Overton, the newly elected president of the otab, occupied the chair for the first time and handled the meeting in a veteran-like manner, in fact, he made a very fine impression upon the assemblage. After the usual routine the chairman announced the presence of three visitors who would have some interesting matters to impart. Later on he introduced these gentlemen. ~~ The first of the three to be called upon was Jesse C. Pierce, fire marshal of Woodstock, who had been asked over in the interest of McHenry's proposed fire department. Mr. Pierce informally went over the history of the Woodstock fire department, pointing out "some of the good features as well as their mistakes and also went into detail as to their apparatus and equipment. Tha speaker displayed considerable pride when he told his listeners that Woodstock now can boast of one of the very best fire departments to be found in %ny city of its size in the country. He then went on and told how to go about it to effect an organization and gave much information that should prove of value here in McHenry. Mr. Pierce attended the convention of the state firemen held recently and, armed with much data which he was able to accumulate, he was in a position to impart to his audience up-to-the-minute news as, concerns fires and fire fighting shipment. He concluded his talk by expressing the hope that McHenry would get busy at once and establish a department that would in every way fill her requirements# Mr. Pierce was accompanied to McHenry by Geo. E. Brink, also of Woodstock, and who has been connected with the Woodstock department more or less for more than a quarter of a century. The latter named speaker just seemed to bubble over with fire equipment enthusiasm and while he talked rather plainly and quite severe' ly censured McHenry for the deplorable condition of the present fire"fightr ing equipment, he, too, expressed the hope that our village would now fall in line with other enterprising cities and villages as regards proper safety from fires. During the course of his remarks he referred to our school building as a dangerous fire trap, but the impression thus made upon the assemblage was later on cleared up by Prof. C. H. Duker of our public school system, who explained that the school is now in as safe a condition as it would be possible to make it and that there was no cause for alarm on the part of the parents and patrons. The local school man went on to say that regular fire drills are now being held and as a result of this the entire may be emptied in forty, seconds. He added further that each of the floors as well as the basement is fitted up with hose and hose connections and that the stairways are amply wide to allow the children to file out of the structure three t and that tha fire escapes are fortuity to state fire laws. Mr. Brink's remarks we would it that visit to the ing was made before the. .c in the structure were made. The' third,speaker of the was Dr. James M. Booher, represent^ ing the Lungmotor company which recently sold an outfit to the village of McHenry, and who was brought to the meeting at the solicitation of Dr. D. G. Wells. By the use of a lungmotor and one of the members of the club, who willingly consented to be used as a subject, the speaker was able to give a m^st instructive demonstration. He went over the various uses to which the machine could be placed by starting on drownings, thence on down the line, taking in smoke and gas asphyxiation, electrical shocks, restoring respiration to new born infants and cases of. pneumonia. The doctor covered ill of these various cases thoroly and in a manner that was tive listeners and onlookers* P. H. Wattles, appearing on behalf of the McHenry local of the Milk Producers' association, asked that the Community club appoint one member to act along with a committee of three appointed by the dairymen in an endeavor to get the local Borden com- £any to consent to a premium of eight cents per hundred over the price as agreed upon at the recent session of the producers and big buyers. He explained that tha Bowman Dairy company is now paying such a pre ; HirBverett Hunter Boat company of McHenry was the high and successful bidder at a sheriff's sale over in Lake county last week and thus acquired the factory building and equipment of the Pistakee Boat 4c Engine Co. at Fox Lake. Herman Meyers was the founder and has been at the head Of this industry for a number of years, but, judging from the court action of last week, things have not been running very smoothly of late. The purchasers of the property have not as yet made public their future plans. Of course there is still a possibility that the property will be redeemed, but this is not considered likely. Until the time of redemption has expired the Hunter Boat company will reserve their future plans. The Pistakee plant, located as it is right at the mouth of the chain of northern lakes, would prove very valuable to the McHenry company and just as soon as the property has been turned over we look forward to some changes for the betterment of the plant. While it is doubtful if the plant will ever again ha used for manufacturing purposes, it is very likely, however, that a repair department will be maintained . Mr. Hunter, the president of tha McHenry company, had nothing further to say when interviewed by a Plaindealer reporter the first of the week than to confirm the purchase of the property. We expect, however, that we will be able to give our readers Mr. Hunter's future plans within the course of the next few weeks. DENIES CATTLE ARE INFECTED Lumley Differs With Gafke Relative to Statement About Cattle [Elgin Daily News] Oouaty Farm Adviser A. J. Gafke of McHenry county caused a furore Saturday when he mada the bold statement that fifty per cent of the cattle of McHenry county are infected with tuberculosis and that he asked the state legislature for an appropriation with which to combat the disease. • "That statement is untrue and Mr. Gafke must know it is untrue," said State's Attorney V. S. Lumley in denying it, "McHenry county has the largest production of milk of any county in the world, for its size, and its milk cows are among the healthiest in the world. "If Mr. Gafke wishes to ruin the county's milk market just to gat an appropriation, he is going to meet with real opposition. There is very little tuberculosis among cattle of the county and the county is no dumping ground for other states. That statement that humans are liable to infection is also untrue. Tuberculosis among cattle and people axe entirely different things. ^ 36 Pupils Make Honor Grades The following students of our grade school secured two-thirds of their grades above 90 per cent for last month: James Fay, John Fay, Bernard Kinsala, Jean Matthews, Walter Vogt, Marion Wegener, Barbara Dittrich, Eleanor Kreutzer, Laura Mead, Helen Pries, Lillian Stoffel, Helen Wegener, Earl Dowell, Willard Thurlwell, Elvera Antholz, Dorothy Fisher, Lois Bacon, Margaret Dittrich, Adelene Vogt, Bernice Weber, Bernice Ferwerda, Arleen Bacon, Floyd Covalt Harris Fay, Marie Kinsala, Robert Peterson, Virginia Thompson, Eugene Sayler, Ethel Granger, Raymond Marguerite Johnson, Gladys Howard, Audrey Beatrice En Mr. and Mrs. delightfully entertained of the Social Card club at their home on Riverside Drive last Sunday evening.

In ... _ answer to his plea it was moved and really'understood* by"his" atten-|carried that president of dub should act as the fourth member. Before concluding the meeting the president kindly asked the co-operation of those present to build up our membership and also do what they could in getting the members out to the meetings. He also urged the membership committee to set forth special efforts in this direction. The next will be a dinner meeting and Will be held on Thursday evening, Feb. 1. The place of holding the meeting will be announced in next week's issue of The Plaindealer. It is the hope of the chairman as well as the officers and members that the next meeting will bring out an attaadaMP of not less than seventy-five.
