One of the biggest theatrical scoops in this vicinity for many years past has been put over by Manager Smith of the Empire theatre of McHenry in the announcement that lie is bringing the Lew Kelly show to McHenry next Sunday night to give their late musical comedy success "The Submarine Man." Some time ago Manager Smith told Mr. Crocker of the Crocker theatre in Elgin to get a big show for McHcnry the first time that they had an open date and thru this co-operation the Lew Kelly show, which broke every house record in Elgin, will come here for next Sunday night only. From here they go direct to Jartesville for a Monday opening. Mr. Kelly is one of the best known comedians in America today and for at that many years has had his own show on the largest circuits. He is supported by a large east of principals and a chorus of youth and beauty that have where he has erected a hall and! been praised q^erywhere for their Jrther buildings for the accommodation whirlwind dancing.

There is plenty of comedy, oceans of ; delightful melodies and late raging song hits and many specialties of metropolitan execution that all aid in making a fast-moving musical whirl of speed and revelry. Manager Smith is to be congratulated in bringing a company of such recognized talent and there is no doubt but that a record house will greet Mr. Kelly and his large array of well known performers next Sunday night at tiie Empire theatre in McHenry.

The village board of Wauconda has deceived a request to extend the south limits of that city. Property owners residing just outside of the present village limits are very anxious to receive the benefits that are to be derived from modern water and sewerage systems and the only way that "these benefits can be shared is thru ^the annexation of that territory to §jthe village. It is understood that a tition praying for such an extension s to be presented to the village board t the April meeting- Altho very little open discussion is being heard at this early date,* it is being predicted by local politicians that the coming municipal election will witness a contest for practically every office. While the attention of the voters at this time is centered upon the state, county and township primaries and election, it is not expected that there will be much doing in the way of city politics until after the primary of April 8, when the voters of McHenry may expect to learn, something regarding municipal affairs. Whether all of the members of the city board will be up for re-election on April 15 is not known at this time nor is anyone able to say just how the forces will line up when the time for battle arrives. Simon Stoffel, at present serving in the capacity of city alderman, and who has probably figured in more local political battles than any of the present day politicians, is the man who is being watched. What is Simon Stoffel going to do? Will he again be a candidate for alderman? Will he come out |or the office of mayor? Will he step down and not enter the race for any office? These are some of the questions that are confronting those j who usually take an active part in city j affair®. And just as soon as some of these questions have been answered one may expect to get a line on the prospective candidates. Of course one hears numerous rumors, but until the forces have become fully organised the voters will display but very little interest. What concerns the voters most is to know just what is doing and how the men will line up when the campaign opens in earnest.

According to rumor there will be at least two ex-service men who will bo candidates, while one or two men who are now in the postal service are said to be seriously thinking of making a bid for the office. While most, if not all, of the applicants for the McHenry office wiH take their examinations at North Crystal Lake, other nearby places where examinations will be held on the SMM day are Dundee and Libertyville. Now that the public announcement has been made regarding the vacancy of the McHenry office and also the date of holding the examination, local candidates will lose no time in making application for the necessary papers and getting set for March 29. Just how many candidates will be iii the field by the time March 29 rolls around is only a matter of conjecture at this writing. - While the civil service commission is charged with the duty of testing applicants for positions of postmaster at offices of the first, second and third classes, such positions are not classified under the civil service law, but filled thru nomination by the president and confirmation by the senate. However, the president is using the civil service machinery for the purpose of selecting the nominees. Under the terms of the executive order, any one of the highest three qualified eligibles for an office may be selected by the post office department foe nomination by the president.

However, action was finally started last fall and as. the three cases were heard the juries returned verdicts of guilty. , . . Appeals for new trials were maae by the defendants, but to no avail, and thus with the penitentiary sentence comes to a close a case which has held the interest of most of the people of McHenry townlhip for nearly a year. • FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH Next Sunday morning Mr. Grimes will finish his discussion of "Denomi- $550.
