The candy was given to tiie children just before they left their home in an automobile for a ride into the country. The woman had figured that after eating the poisoned candy the automobile would be wrecked and therefore their deaths would be attributed to the automobile accident. However, after the candy started to take affect something of the mother love had awakened in the woman, who summoned a doctor who saved the lives of the children.

This company has made several tours of the United States and has earned a splendid record for substantial artistic achievement. Newspaper comments and reports from lyceum committees on this company and its work are unfailingly enthusiastic, and the fact that the Montagues always please se thoroly is the reason why they have a remarkable record for return dates. They go back time after time to communities which have heard them before. When retarning to a community the Montagues give an entirely different program from any presented on a previous appearance. As the name implies, this company features light opera selections. These selections are presented in costume. Four artists of attainments compose the company. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION COUNTY WORKERS WKLL MEET AT MARENGO.'NOV. 2 SPREJBPjG_C8BNT Jtm yOLOENB OF ROUTE Z»-W*5 STARTED LAST FRIDAY The attention of all Sunday school workers in the county is centered in Marengo, where the county convention will be held November the second. Preparations are already being made by district officers and local committees. The program promises the usual feast of conference and addresses, each too good to miss.

Eekert has been busy meeting workers in various parts of the county and directing plans for children's week, which will be fittingly observed Oct. 14-21 in practically every Sunday school and community in the county.

TO WBN BLECTRICAL * • SHOP THIS WEEK Waiter Carey and James Doherty have rented the store room between the Owen building and Niesen's grocery on Green street and expect to open the place next Saturday as an up-to-date electrical shop. The young men have had considerable experience in this line of work as employes of the Carey Electric company at Wilmot, Wis., and hope to give McHenry a real shop and service. They will carry a fine litie Of electrical fixtures and appliances and will also do all kinds of electrical construction work. TRAP SHOOTING SEASON 1 OPENS ON OCTOBER 14 TRUCKS UNABLE TO KEEP BIG CEMENT MIXFR SUPPLIED WITH MATERIAL Altho the start did aot^frove as auspicious as had been looked for by the J. J. Dunnigan Construction company, which lest Friday started actual cement work on the Vol©-McHenry section of route 20, the progress thus far made has been satisfactory. / Owing to the fact-that the trucks were unable to keep the big cement mixer supplied with material, the latter machine has been working at only about one-half capacity. On Tuesday afternoon of this week a Plaindealer scribe visited the scene of activity and while there was told that six more trucks were' expected this week and would be added to the fleet immediately upon their arrival. Ten trucks are now hauling the material from the gravel pit on the Weingart farm and, as the writer saw it on Tuesday, it will require double that number of trucks to keep the. big mixer operating at-full speed. The Plaindealer representative interviewed a number of the men employed on the job and, while most of them appeared of the opinion that the contract can and will be completed to tiie Kennebeck farm this fall, in our mind this appears rather doubtful. \ At the rate that the cement pouring is now going on it will require at the very least three weeks to complete one mile. However, if the capacity of the machine can be maintained a mile of road can be completed 6very two weeks. Even under the very best of working conditions and luck it may readily be seen that the undertaking to complete that section this fall is a mighty big one. < Of course, it mu$t be understood that the trucks are now making their longest hauls and as each day brings the cement ribbon closer to tiie material quarters better progress may naturally be-expected as times goes on. The Weingart farm now presentSpa before witnessed^in ANOTHER SUBDIVISION READY' 1,000 FEET OF RIVER FRONT TO BE PLACED ON MARKET The annual trap shooting season, under the direction of the Bald Knob Trap Shooting club, will open at the Bald Knob grounds, Pistakee Lake, on Sunday, Oct. 14, at nine o'clock. Last season a series of very successful shoots were held at this point and lovers of the sport anticipate an even greater interest in the coming season. Trap shooting, which for a number of years was more or less of a dead issue in this section, was revived last season, when many interesting events were held. / ENTERTAINED FIVE • HUNDRED CARD CLUB poisoning her husband* whos£ oecurted in March, IMS. ffc^Tttembers of the Five Hundred Card club were moet delightfully entertained by Mrs. Allen Noonan at her home on Main street on Monday evening of this week. After tiie customary number of games of five hundred had 'been played prises were awaked as follows: First, Miss Clara Miller; second Mrs. Henry Schaefer; third, Miss Ellen Walsh. This was followed by |he scene as this vicinity. With the big gravel outfit'in operation the farm lias been transformed into one very busy spot. All of the machinery is steam driven and the work at the material quarters is carried on in a most systematic manner. One of the Overtoil A Cowen big service trucks is keeping a coal supply at the material camp, while Schaefer Bros., local draymen, have the contract for the hauling of the cement from the store house to the Weingart farm. This firm has just purchased another big truck and now has two machines and four men employed in hauling the cement. Few people realise how much road building really means to a comma nity like McHenry. That the con tractor will leave many hundreds of dollars with the business men of this city is an absolute certainty, while the workmen employed also leave most of their earnings here, At the present time there are nearly one hundred men employed with the gang, altho the company is still looking for more help. In this week's issue they are advertising for lab&< ers and truck drivers and it is our understanding that they will hire all of the men that they can get. The men, with the exception of a few local laborers, are now being fed and quartered at the camp established on the Weingart farm in the vicinity of the gravel pit. MORE IMPROVEMENTS AT LOCAL GOLF COURSE Work on new bunkers, under the supervision of Albert Purvey, has been going on for two weeks or more at the McHenry Country club links. The bunkers and sand traps, when completed, will make the course sportier than ever before and will prove a great improvement. The grounds at this time present a very pretty sight, the re<5fent rains bringing out the grass on the fairways very nicely. Other improvements are also planned on the grounds N«t spring. ' FIRST METHODIST CHURCH "Looking Forward" will be the title of Mr. Sanger's last sermon as regular pastor of the Methodist church.

SPORTSMEN TAKE NOTICE Commencing Sunday, Oct. 14, at 9:00 a. m. the, annual trap shoeting season will be opened at Bald Knob. Bring your gun and try your luck. Everybody welcome. Shells to be had on premises. Bald Knob Trap Another aww river -subdivision, which is sure to become popular among resorters, is about to be thrown open by Thos. A. Bolger and Atty. Charles T. Allen. The tract referred to lies east of Fox river, about one-half mile south of the dam, and is a part of the Bolger estate farm. The tract has a river frontage of 1,000 feet The two gentlemen above mentioned are this week having the tract bordering on the river front surveyed and laid out into lots, which will soon be offered to the public. A road to connect with tiie main highway, known as the Wauconda road, is also to be constructed immediately. The strip of land consists of thirtyfour acres and, while tiie owners do not contemplate the opening of the entire stretch at this time, the plans are that eventually the entire acreage will be set aside for summer resort purposes. . * The river lots will have a fifty foot frontage, but will vary in depth. The lots are well timbered, have a high river bank and together with a fine gravel river bottom offer exceptionally fine sites for summer homes. As a matter of fact, the owners believe that they have one of the finest summer resort propositions yet offered the public along our beautiful stream. Up until a short time ago the strip was owned jointly by Thos. A. and John Bolger, the latter selling his interest to At€y. Charles T. Allen of Cary only recently. * y / FIRST McHENRY WOMAK ^ TO PLANE TO CHICAGO SIGN HOY PETITION AFFIDAVITS STATE THAT HOYS CANT SET FAIR TRIAL Shooting Clut^ Henry, BL ikee Lake, Mc- Mias Clara Schiessle, one of the proprietors of the Northwestern hotel of this city, bears the distinction of being the first McHenry woman to make the trip between here and Chicago in an aeroplane. The trip was made a week ago last Monday afternoon in a machine owned and driven by Mr. Heuen, the young man who made flights here two weeks ago. The trip to Chicago was made via Grayslake, the Fox Lake region, Liberty ville and the lake «hore and after reaching the city limits a ride was also taken out over Lake Michigan as well as over the down town district. The plane left McHenry about one o'clock and landed > on the Peterson avenue field about an hour later. The young man had contemplated another trip to McHenry last Sunday, but on account of storms out in Iowa, where he had been making flights during the week, he was unable to get to this city. However, his plans are to be in McHenry again next Sunday, when passengers will be taken for a trip to the clouds. REV. SANGER TO WINTHRO P HARBOR CHARGE Rev. Raymond Sanger, who has been the pastor of the First Methodist church of this city for a trifle over two years, has been granted the Winthrop Harbor charge over on the Lake shore and expects to take up his work in the new field next week. He will be succeeded here by Rev. A. H KraM, who comes to McHenry from Leaf River, 111. The members of the local church regret very much to see Rev. Sanger leave as he has accomplished a great deal during the time he has officiated here. The new pastor will move his family to McHenry and will occupy the parsonage, to be vacated by Mr. Sanger and his mother. STATE'S ATTORNEY LUMLEY GIVEN MONTH IN WHICH TO FILE COUNTER AFFIDAVITS The petition, presented by the attorneys representing Fremont Hoy »d his two sons, Clarence and Kenneth, of Woodstock, in which the Hoys asked for a change of venue when their case was called in the McHenry county circuit court last week, contained the signatures of thirty-five McHenry county residents.

Earl Whiting, William Harris, Gilbert Harris and Charles Jackson are among the McHenry residents who believe that McHenry county will not give the Hoys a fair trial. Besides submitting a > group «-*tf affidavits, Atty. Pierce of Belvkfate also included a number of clippings as taken from the nine McHenry county papers and alse asked! th$t he fce permitted to add articles as taken from the Chicago Herald -and Examiner,' which paper probably gave more prominence to the case than any other. Attorney Diette nacHqd i thai a<f«ir trial at the hands of a jury selected in McHenry-eounty oeil# not >be obtained on account of the unfavorable sentiment existing towftrd the' defendants. State's Attorney V. S. Lumley has asked for thirty days' time in which to file counter affidavits and to prepare his side of the proceedings.

SEARS, TO DIRECT SCHOOL ORCHESTRA STREET IMPROVEMENT STARTED _____ • BIG SCARIFIER PUT TO WORK v ON TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK COUNTY FEDERATED CLUBS AT MARENGO OCT. 6 Dr. G. T. Palmer, president of the Illinois Tuberculosis association, will be the speaker on Saturday afternoon at the meeting of the McHenry County Federated Women's . clubs at Marengo. Dr. Palmer comes to McHenry county to tell of the work now being done to stamp out this plague to the human race every where. The McHenry County Federated Women's clubs will hold their annual meeting in the Methodist church, Marengo, on Saturday and a large attendance is looked for.

SCHOOL TEACHERS NOW, HAVE SEWING CLUB The teachers of the community high and grade schools of this city met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Stringer on Riverside Drive on Monday evening of this week, at which time a sewing club was formed. Miss Catherine Ashburner was made president of the newly organized body and Miss Nellie Doherty, treasurer. The club will meet every two weeks and the next meeting will be held with Miss Blanche D. Pryor. NOTICE On and after Monday, Oct. 8, milk will be delivered later in the day. Order extra on Sunday if wanted for Monday morning breakfast. 1 Riverside Dairy* McHenry.Hl. Final arrangements have been completed whereby Prof. W. N. Sears of Barrington will take charge of the McHenry comunity high school orchestra. He will meet and direct the students for the first time a week from today. The orchestra was organized shortly after the start of the fall term of school and, according to present indications, the organization will soon grow into one of the largest of its kind among the smaller schools in this section. The orchestra, we understand, will not be > confined, to the high school only, as pupils of the grades as well as from country districts have also expressed a desire to become members thereof. Music lovers of this community will, no doubt, be greatly pleased over tiie orchestra prospects as also with the fact that Prof. Sears, who is already well and favorably known here, will be the director. Altar a long wait the streets of the city are at least to be put in as good a condition as it will be possible to place them. The city's big scarifier, pulled by a steam outfit, was put to work on Tuesday and within the course of the next week our main streets will once more be placed in good traveling oondition. On account of the installation of our new sewer system our roads, especially during the past two months, have been a sight to behold and a source of grief to those who have been obliged to travel them daily. McHenry is not the only town that has gone thru a similar experience as many of the towns that have installed the sewer improvement in recent years have gone thru the same unpleasantness and now that most of the sewer work has been completed and the repairing of the roads started the traveling public should be able to breathe a sigh of relief. It is the plan of the city council to repair all of the city's thorofares where the sewer pipes have been laid. The main streets will first receive attention, after which the less traveled roads will be looked after. Up to last night Main and Waukt-- gan streets on the West Side had been scarified and work of grading them was started late Wednesday afternoon. In another day the repairing of these two roads should have bee completed. INTEREST AS PICKED UP BY MJHNKAtB PBOPL* 4Mad HIGH 9CBOOL FOOT BALL TEAM TO MARBNGO FOX PAVILION CLOSES r- V fUOCESSFUL SEASON dance pavilion, located on the Pistakee Bay road, just outside of the city limits, closed its second successful season last Saturday evening. The attendance, especially on holidays the week ends, was.exceptionally large thruout the entire season. In fact, the record of the place will show that hundreds of young people made this their favorite dancing resort Clarence Niesen, under whose management the place has been conducted, is to be commended upon the fine manner in which the dance resort has been run and once more goes to prove that a resort of this kind properly managed can be made a paying venture. The reputation of the Fox now extends thruout this entire section of the state as well as lower Wisconsin, while our summer resort residents and visitors have been heard to speak in very favorable terms of the resort. METBOraUTAN GLEE CLUB HERB" OCT. • The McHenry community high school foot ball team will travel over to Marengo next Saturday, where they will tackle the high school team of that city in a practice game. According to Supt. Duker, the boys this year will not play a regular season's schedule as all of the men are "green" and therefore would stand very little chance against the seasoned teams of this community. It is the idea of the coaches to teach the boys the game this fall and prepare them for another season, when it is hoped the McHenry highs will be represented on tiie gridiron by a real eleven. There is now enough talent in the school from which to build up a good foot ball team and with the knowledge that the youngsters are sure to acquire thru practice games this fall they should be right up and coming by the opening of the 1924 season. The candidates for this year's team are all of good size. Prospects for a good basket ball season for the school are also bright this fall and lovers of the sport are assured of great deal better games here this winter than they have been privileged of seeing in a number of years. , »*' -- toW NEW RAILROAD TEM* 1 ~ < .r ^ TABLB IN BFFBCT Went back to standard time on Sunday and as a result a slight change in tiie Chicago & Northwestern time tabie as it concerns this c'ty became effective on Monday morning of this week.

All of the work performed by the river and lakes contractor to date has been accomplished with a clam Bhell outfit, but hereafter, or just as soon as the new outfit is ready the two machines will be operated. The dredging and cleaning up of the shores along Fox river and the lakes has become very popular among many of the resorters of this district.
