McCARTHY DIED AT BIS HOME HEBE LAST FRIDAY * John J. McCarthy, for a number of years one of McHenry*s higjily respected citizens, passed away at- his late home on Elm street at 11:80 o'clock iast Friday morning following a three weeks' illness. Mr. McCarthy, who since 1911 had been the efficient and faithful janitor at McKenry's school, was forced to give up work just three weeks prior to his death. Just the week previous to his demise he seemed to have passed the crisis and was on the road to recovery. Complications, the direct cause of Ids death, then set in. John Jerome McCarthy, the only son of Patrick and Mary McCarthy, was bom in the city of Cork, Ireland, June 23, 1859, where he was reared and grew to manhood. Upon reaching his majority he left his home and friends and came to this country, first stopping in New York city, where he remained for some time, then came west to Chicago, where he also made his home for a short time. He came to Solon Mills, McHenry county, about thirty-seven years ago. He worked about on various farms in that locality for a number of years, coming to McHenry in 1908, and has made this village his home ever since. The deceased took out "his .naturalization papers on Feb. 15, 1884. He was united in marriage to Margaret Cleary at St. Patrick's Catholic church here on Nov. 6, 1908. Besides the widow; he is survived by four sisters, as follow: Mrs. Catherine Murphy, Yonkers, N. Y.; Mrs. Delia Judd, Jersey City, N. J.; Mrs. Elizabeth Noonan and Miss Margaret McCarthy of Providence, R. I. Mr. McCarthy was a member of the McHenry council, Knights of Columbus, as well as the Holy Name society of St. Patrick's church. He was a devout Christian, always folding foremost in his line of duties his obligations to his faith. In private life he proved himself a good neighbor and friend. Quiet and unassuming he always went about his work with a good word for everyone and never was Mr. McCarthy known to speak one word of disrespect toward his fellow man.. Being a home loving body, most of his time, outside of working hours, was passed at his own fireside. The funeral took place from St. Patrick's Catholic church in this village at ten o'clock on Monday mortiing of this week. As a tribute to the high esteem in which he was held in the community, both schools closed during the funeral hour, while many of the pupils and teachers attended the last rites as performed by Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's church. The members of the Knights of Columbus also attended in a body. Interment was made in 8L Patrick's cemetery.

STAR SEDAN DRAWS CONSIDERABLE INTEREST ROUTE 20IS ARCUED AT COMMUNITY CLUB MEETING HELD TUESDAY NIGHT RECOMMENDS THAT" ROAD ENTER McHENRY EITHER OVER PEARL OR ELM STREETS The largest crowd that has yet turned out to discuss matters appertaining to Toute No. 20 as passing thru the village of McHenry was present, at the McHenry Community club meeting as held at the K. of C. hall on Tuesday evening of this week. After taking up almost three hours in going over the situation pro and con, during which time two separate ballots were voted, it was finally decided that the club go on record as indorsing the Pearl or Elm street route, thence southwest across the mill pond and connecting with Waukegan street at a point wast of the laundry building. This means that the McHonry Community club, together with the nonmembers who were present at the meeting, agreed that the proposition be put up to the state and that everyone concerned be satisfied with the selection as finally made by the state highway department. POPULAR TWtEE ACT COMEDY LAST NUMBER OF LYCEUM AT ST. PATRICK'S HALL MAR. 17 The popular three-act comedy, "The Bubble," by Edward Locke, which will appear at St. Patrick's new church hall on Saturday evening, March 17, on the lyceum course, is one in which the original company had one of the most successful runs of any play on the American stage. In it Louis Mann added to his already well established popularity. "The Bubble" portrays one of humanity's oldest failings--the get-richquick ambition. Many have listened to glowing tales of fortunes to be made in a short time, invested real money and later seen their "bubble" burst, but with no shower of gold for them. These experiences make everyone thoroly in sympathy with the perplexities of this delightfully amusing comedy. In <<The Bubble" are an elderly couple, their prepossessing young daughter, her fiancee, who is a clever young newspaper reporter, and a smooth promoter of oil stocks. The novel and sometimes startling business i(leas put forth by the young people, the wily machinations of the oil stock promoter and the droll humor of the old folks convulse the audience with OPEN SMI BIDS COMPLETED BUILDING TO COST APPROXIMATELY $140,000 Nearly one hundred men attended laughter.

ELECTRICAL FIXTURES IN- \ ' STALLED IN NEW CHTTTTCH board of supervisors who met here Monday.

Three ballots were not voted. In view of the closeness of the ballot President R. I. Overton expressed himself as not perfectly satisfied with the return. After quite a lengthy discussion, in which several took an active part, it was finally agreed to once more vote on the question of tabling the supervisors'i in time for the opening, which will thirty-one were j take place on Saturday, March 17.

Out of the total number of bidders there were but two who presented bids on the entire building, exclusive of the heating, lighting, plumbing, roofing and painting. The balance of the bids were on portions of the structure only. The two bids referred to above were presented by the Security Building company of Rockford and Ren art & Malsch of Lake Geneva. The total bid of the Rockford company was $102,933.00. Their bid on the masonry and carpenter work was $95,633, while their total bid also included plasetring. The total bid of the Lake Geneva firm was $104,200.00. Their bid on the masonry and carpenter work was $95,500. No contract has ad yet been let for the building of the school, bat the board is again in session this (Thursday) afternoon and is going over the various other bids to ascertain the lowest figures that may be derived by dividing the contracts among several of the bidders. From the figures at hand the board is already convinced that they win be unable to keep the cost of the proposed structure within the bond limit. The most conservative figures which they can reasonably expect will be very closa to $140,000. This means a complete building with all its equipment. * According to a rough estimate supplied The Plaindealet* by the community school board secretary, the very lowest figure for the masonry, carpenter and plaster work on the proposed building will reach approximately $100,000. Adding to this the heating, plumbing and lighting systems, the roofing, the equipment, the painting, the work of leveling off grounds after building has been completed, the attorney fees, the cost of site and number of other smaller items, at least $40,000 more will be added. In speaking of the bonds, it was the clerk's honest opinion that these would bring the board a very neat premium, while the buildings on the property would also bring in something. These, together with accumulated interest on the bond issue prior to thair sale to a bonding company, would, it is believed, bring the total close to $140,000. A more definite decision on the part of the school will undoubtedly ha reached at this afternoon's session and The Plaindealer is hopeful of giving its readers more encouraging wsi on the matter in the next issue.

Since the arrival of the car Mr. Schaefer has visited several of the towns in this locality and was more than a little surprised at the interest that the general public appears to be showing in the latest machine to be placed on the market. The agent informs us that a whole carload of closed cars, both sedans and coupes, are expected here this week, which will place him in a position where he will be able to make immediate deliveries. Last week a carload of open cars was received. BLUE PRINTS READY FOR NEW SPRING GROVE BANK John P. Weber, local contractor and builder, has completed the blue prints for the proposed new bank building to be erected by the Spring Grove State bank in that village this summer. The building will be modern in every detail and will prove a distinct credit to that enterprising little municipality. Work on the new structure is expected to start just as soon as weather conditions will permit. f FIRST METHODIST CHURCH "A Philosophy ^ Life" will be the sermon subject next Sunday morning. Various common attitudes toward life will be set forth and examined. At ten o'clock the Sunday school will meet for its worship period and study session. The Epworth league evening service will begin at 6:80, followed by the teachers' training class at 7:30. A most cordial welcome is extended to all to attend these various services. McHenry will be given the biggest and best improvement in its history. It will place the two sides of town within a three minute walk of each other and will, to a certain degree, serve to wipe out the friction that has always existed here. As itpar as The Plaindealer is able to ascertain, little if any difficulty will be encountered in obtaining the rightof- way over the proposed route. It will give us two streets between the two sides of town, the need of which has been felt for some years and more especially so since the increase in automobile traffic. Both factions agree on this one point and it is the hope of many of our people that the state will give us this connection. As the matter now stands each of the three business sections would receive a direct benefit if the proposed routing is followed out and brought to a reality. Committee Not Yet Named Just before going to press President R I. Overton called this office to inform us that he had not as yet named the committee to go to Springfield. In view of the fact that more or less friction existed at the close of Tuesday night's meeting, Mr. Overton believes that he should be given a little more time before making the appointment. This he is doing, with the thought in mind of bringing the two factions together before a committee is sent down to the state capitol. A deputy collector from the Chicago office will be in McHenry next Monday and Tuesday to render assistance to those desiring same in the filing of their income tax returns. and building.

Q5-0t Mrs. Roy Hankermeyer, who recently suffered severe burns in a fire here, has left the Garfield Park hospital and is now at the home of her parents in Chicago, where she is recovering her strength. It will probably be another two weeks or more before she returns to McHenry. Her pleased to learn that she has sufficiently recovered as to enable her to leave the hospital and hope that she will soon return to this village. UNIVERSALIST PASTOR TO DISCUSS COUE "Emil Coue and Jesus of Nazareth" will be the subject treated from the 4Jniversalist pulpit next Sunday morning. It will be a message well worth hearing. It is the first -of a series of four sermons on "The Miracles of Jesus." These sermons will be interesting and absolutely fearless presentations of the truth.
