It is expected that the Sunday school room and recreation haU will be ready for occupancy within the course of the next three or four sleeks. > The city council of -Crystal Lake one day last week made a trip to St. Charles, Batavia and Geneva for the purpose of inspecting paving jobs. The question of paving some of Crystal Lake's principal streets is now being agitated among some of the leading citizens of that city. The board of the Crystal Lake com- Jfeunity high school has gone on record favoring the renting of the high school gymnasium for public entertainments. However, dancing, roller skating, card playing and non-school (Athletics will be barred. The rental fee has been set at $25 per night. ~ The post office at .Crystal Lake bears the distinction of leading all others in McHenry county in the sale of treasury savings certificates. The sales reported from the Crystal Lake office from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31 amount to $11,582. Woodstock ranks second frith total sales amounting to $11,438. One of a number of postal money orders stolen at Priors, Ga., on Sept. 16, made its appearance at Crystal Lake. A stranger passed the order • Made out in the sum of $10.75 at the Citizens' garage. Postmaster Shales almost immediately recognized the order as stolen property when presented to him. Thus the Crystal Lake garage is the loser. ; ' Miss Anna Hawkins, forty years old, a Chicago school teacher, was taken to the General hospital at Waukegan last Friday night after having • been run down by an automobile at Fox Lt^ke.

"nt they are now making their home. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Barbian of this city, where she has always resided. She graduated from the McHenry high school Vrith the class of 1917 and a short time after started work in the local excha'hge of the Illinois * Bell Telephone company, where she continued to give faithful service up until the Saturday prior to her wedding. She had asked for a three weeks' leave of absence from her duties at the telephone exchange and one can imagine the surprise of her sister operators when the word of her marriage was received last week. For a number of years she has been recognized as one of McHenry's most popular young daughters. The groom is the only pon of R. P. Conley of Grand Rapids, Mich. Altho a stranger to most-of our people, he has met and won the esteem of a few of our citizens during the months of his courtship, when he made frequent visits to McHenry. He is engaged in the music business in Chicago and in this endeavor is meeting with mofct encouraging success. McHenry friends of the newly weds extend to them their best wishes for a long, joyous and prosperous journey over the sea of matrimony.

William became thirteen years of age this month, Albert, eleven, and Marie, five. The occasion proved a happy one for those present. A delicious supper was served the guests, while each of the little folks present was presented with a nice toy and candy basket. Beautiful gifts were also tendered the three little folks whose birthdays were being a late hour that evening Those in attendance were: Mr. and Subscribers .to the new industries fiind at Woodstock have chosen John M.

DROWNED AT GRASS . - LAKE SUNDAY EVENING after the rain ceases to fall. RAIN HALTS WORK ON CEMENT ROADS UNDER PROGRESS OF CONSTRUCTION SPOILS CHANCES OP REACHING LILY THIS WEEK What would undoubtedly have proven their best week since starting ,work on the McHenry-Volo road was spoiled for the J. J. Dunnegan Construction company on Wednesday morning on account of the rain. The outfit started out on was figured that the cement ribbon would have reached Lily Lake t£F Saturday night, while another ten days would take it as far as the gravel pits on the Weingart farm. The rain, however, has spoiled all chances of reaching Lily Lake this week and "the earliest that the outfit can now expect to get back on the job is Saturday. Up until Tuesday night a total of 6,200 feet of cement had been laid and, judging from the manner in which the work was progressing at that time, the hopes of the company could have been realized. The biggest stretch yet laid in a single day was put down on Tuesday, when 530 feet were completed. So rapidly was th? wortc going along on Monday and Tuesday that it kept the Schaefer Bros.' two big trucks going at top speed to keep the gang supplied with cement. The local draymen have the contract for hauling the cement from the McHenry storage shed to the Weingart farm. One hundred sacks of cement are carried on each trip and on Tuesday the trucks succeeded in transferring 1,400 sacks between the two points. As the cement storage shed contained only about one-third of the total amount required to complete the contract, additional material is now being shipped in. Last week saw the arrival of six carloads, while it is expected that the balance will arrive at the rate of about three carloads per week. About one-third of the cement in the storage shed has already been moved. It now depends entirely upon weather conditions whether or not the entire contract between here and Volo will be completed this fall. The contractors, more or less discouraged over the delays caused by the rain, have not as yet given up hopes of finishing the entire stretch, altho the loss of time, occasioned by recent rains, has placed them under a severe handicap. Should conditions warrant, the cement work will be carried on as far as the pits, after which work will be started on the McHenry end at a THE MONTAGUE CONCERT WELL RENDERED AT 8T. PATSUCK'S HALL SATURDAY > Opinion on the Montague Light Opera company, which appeared at St. Patrick's hall last Saturday evening, was unanimous, it was superb. Opening with a number given by the four singers as a quartet and closing with a splendid production of the operetta "Gretchen of Holland," it was, both as to arrangement of program and effectiveness of'the cast, beyond criticism. Each member of the quartet was an artist. Mr. Eichenberger, Manager and tenor of the company, was particularly fine in "Gretchen of HollaiM" in his impersonation of the Italian organ grinder, where his beautiful voice was heard to the best advantage. Miss Montague, in private life Mrs. Eichenberger, has a contralto voice of unusual appeal and her selections were of a nature well suited to display her ricl^ endowment. She also gave a generous selection of readings with an easy grace and £reat artistry. Miss Geddes, in the soprano role, displayed both lyric and coloratura powers of marked beauty and brilliance as evidenced in such selections as "Lo Hear the Gentle Lark" and in her concerted number with Mr. Eichenberger and Mr. Decker, the Churning Song from Robin Rood. Mr. Decker, baritone, was the best baritone that the writer has heard in any company that has appeared in McHenry. He had power and dramatic ability of the highest order. In fact and in fine, each artist was not only an artist in singing, but in acting. McHenry audiences have not heard their like. "As an opening to the local lyceum course it was brilliant. Succeeding numbers are being looked forward to as a consequence with unusual expectancy and anticipatory pleasure. . PROGRESSIVE TWELVE ENJOY PLEASANT AFTERNOON celebrated. The time was spent at ^ ^ -- playing games, cards and bunco and it' point near the Mrs. Kennebeck farm. was quite « ~ - One consolation lies in the fact that when the occasion came to a close, ^e longest hauls have been made and as the distance between the pits and Mrs. Charles Vales, sons, Albert and mjx^r becomes shorter the more Robert,»and daughter, Florence, and cement can be laid.

The eight ladies who won more than three high honors during the serlas enter tained the four losers. The afternoon was passed at five hundred, at the close of which a delicious luncheon was served. Everyone was given a prize, the four losers being given their choice of same. The guests of honor for the afternoon were Mesdaraes Jos. W. Rothermel, W. D. Wentworth, George ^ohr and _ Anton Barbian. The club will enter upon its new season on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 31, when they will be entertained by Mrs. Jos. W. Rothermel. As this will come during Hallowe'en week members will appear in costumes appropriate for the occasion or subject themselves to a severe fine. « ------• WILLJOOCUPY PART OF N1ESEN*S STORE TO PRESENT rAUSr GRAND OPERA TO BE HEARD IN M'HENRY SATURDAY RARE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR GRAND OPERA AFFORDED MUSIC LOVERS HERE Gounod's grand opera "Faust" is to be presented at St. Patrick's church hall here in English next Saturday evening, Oct. 20, by a group of opera singers organized by Milton Abron, notable operatic producer. This is a $500 attraction now being booked by the Redpath Lyceum Bureau, but on account of an open date the opportunity of hearing this wonderful company in McHenry was presented to Rev. M. J. McEvoy, who lost no time in accepting the proposition and thus giving the music lovers Of this community a chance to hear grand opera right here at home. Milton Abron, who heads the company, needs no introduction to the public. His efforts in connection with the presentation of grand opera in England as well as his famous productions at the Century theatre, New York, are well known. Mr. Abron, realizing that audiences everywhere appreciate the masterpieces in opera, organized the present company of five artists. No effort has been spared to maintain a high standard of excellence. Mr. Abron used great care in his selection of the cast, choosing artists well qualified to sing the roles assigned to them. The appearance of the Abron Grand Opera company in "Faust" is a musical treat. Karl K. Kitchen, in last Saturday's Chicago Evening Journal, pays the Abron company a high compliment when he says. "Another night I went to the Paris opera and witnessed a performance of "Rigoletto" that would have made the Abrons blush." Grand opera in a town the size 6f McHenry is very rare indeed and therefore Rev. M. J. McEvoy, who booked the attraction, felt that he could not well afford to let the oppor The M. M. Niesen building on Gram street has been divided into two store rooms and the north side of the structure is now occupied by the owner with his grocery, while the new store room, 12x40 feet, is now being fitted up by Walter Carey and James Doherty, who will soon open an up-to-date electrical shop therein.

The unfortunate man was employed as manager of "Shorty's" piaoe at *he time of the tragedy. < PUBLIC CARD PARTY AT ST. PATRICK'S HALL The Altar A Rosary society of St. Patrick's church will sponsor a public card party at St. Patrick's hall on Wednesday evening, Oct. 31.

Genevieve Knox, Teacher. A^basket tract here this fall, the equipment will be stored for the winter and work resumed just as early in the spring as conditions will warrant. Should this come to pass it will undoubtedly mean that the completed stretch of road will be closed to travel thruout the entire winter, as the contractor will not allow the opening of the road until same has been accepted and the work paid for by the state. • The work of shouldering the completed portion of the road will probably start very soon and as this can be accomplished even during the winter months it is expected that activities along this line will be carried on thru the early winter seasoa, ,, TVe West Road s Up until ihe rain of Wetfftesday, progress on the west road, between Sherman's hill and Woodstock, has also been quite favorable. Plenty of gravel is once more kept at hand and with the mixer going at top speed quite a long stretch of cement has now been laid. McHenry people are very much interested in these two stretches of road, as their completion will n^an a great deal to this community. It is our sincere hope that the east road, especially, may be completed and opened to travel early next season. prietress of the Agatha Shop, now located in the Masquelet building on Elm street, who expects to move to the new quarters very shortly.

STATE SURVEYORS HEttW RECENTLY Surveyors from the state highway department were again seen in McHenry and vicinity recently. While persistent rumors have It that tlie McHenry section of route 20 will be put up for letting this fall, confirmation of these reports is still lacking. While there are those wno believe that the governor and his highway department will pay heed to the vote as recently taken on the location of the state highway, as it will pass thru this city, there are others who appear confident th** the result of the vote will have very little bearing upon the final decision of the department in locating the road.
