The Lakeside hotel at Druce*s Lake, . Lake county, was destroyed by fire one *:-night recently. The total loss is esti- ^mated at $15,000. D. Fj, Quinlan, realtor of Woodstock, s has been named a member of the state ^license law committee of the Illinois ^Association of Real Estate Boards. %:- The two cucumber handling stations a-4i®t Harvard have been purchased by ithe L. Woodard Pickle company and .since the purchase have been merged. The spring festival at Woodstock ||this year will take place on March 27, J|28 and 29. This will be an exhibition ^ of all the latest styles, implements and ' 'autos. "Chris" Christensen, proprietor of ^ the soft drink parlor at the Columbia hotel, Richmond, fussed away very suddenly at about nine o'clock last Thursday morning. Eighty acres planted to potatoes on i peat soil will be an experiment on a tract of land near Harvard according to H. A. Arnold of a farm products company of Chicago. A new commutorsV. train now operates over the C. &:N. W. railway daily texcept Sunday, leaving the Chicago terminal at 5:33. The train concludes its run at Crystal Lake. An old malt house, erected at Harvard fifty-two years ago, is being wrecked under the jurisdiction of the ,city council and the material it to be jused for street improvement. Workmen engaged in clearing away the debris of the Brey bakery building destroyed by fire at Mareng;o recently, found two exploded bombs, indicating that these were the source of the fire. ^Officials are now making a thoro investigation. Due to a change in the game laws of that state, there will be no Ashing in Wisconsin from March 1 to June 1. The closed season will apply to all game fish. The finny tribe not affected are rough fish, carp, suckers, chubs, ace, red-horse, sheephead, ealpout and buffalo fish. At a recent meeting of the Lake county board of supervisors it was resolved that the highway extending from Lake Zurich to Area be proposed . as a state aid road. Commit-1 nications regarding the proposal have been sent to the state highway department at Springfield. William Schultz last week disposed of his eighteen acre farm, located onehalf mile south of the corporate limits ~ of the city of Harvard, to John O. Lundstrom, who during the past four years has been a tenant on a farm in Hartland. The price paid was $7,500 or a trifle more than $401 per acre. According to reports from Belvidere ' the Bowman Dairy company will not buy the Borden factory at that point as rumors would .have had it some time . ago. On account of the cheaper mode of handling milk in tank cars the Bowman company expect to use and have already started using some of their own plants as receiving stations and it would thus be folly for them to buy other plants. Dedicatory services were conducted' at the new Methodist church at Woodstock a week ago last Sunday, at which time notable talks were delivered by ^Bishop Thomas Nickolson of J the Illinois area and Dr. John Thomp- * f son of the Chicago Temple. Pledges amounting to $17,000 were received during the day, this leaving only $8,000 to be raised on the $80,000 structure only recently completed. The DeKalb-Sycamore Interurban 0 Traction company has filed with the Illinois commerce commission a petition to permanently cease operations, tear up their tracks and take down their wires. The company has struggled along for the past five years in a vain attempt to keep things going and, i altho the greatest economy was exer- Iciaed, the balance dwindled from year year until there was nothing left. Twenty high school bands with an aggregate membership of 500, are expected to compete in the annual tournament of the Wisconsn School Band association contest to be staged at Lake Geneira, Wis., next June. An effort is now being made to get John Phillip Sousa, noted band leader, to be one \>f the judges. He has promised to accept the horror provided he is not enroute with his band at the time of the contest. The Woodstock Chamber of Commerce sponsored a big dedication dance and entertainment at the new Holmes bed factory huilding in that city on Monthly evening of this week. The event was very largely attended and • proved a decided success both socially and financially. The net profits are to be turned into the city's industrial fund. The new manufacturing concern baa already started moving into the plant and should J»e ready- Vox operation very shortly. ^ ; i ** RIVER IMPROVEMENT ASSN. HAS CONFIRMATION OF BRIDGE LOCATION • . & At the annual members' meeting of the Fox River A Lakes Improvement association the secretary was requested to communicate with the division of highways at Springfield to ascertain whether or not that department had definitely decided upon the location of route 20 and the bridge across the Fox river and since that message has been sent to the state capital the writer is in receipt of advice from Frank T. Sheets, superintendent of highways, under date of March 3, advising the association that the division of highways of the state department of public' works and buildings has definitely decided that route 20 will cross Fox river one block south of the existing highway bridge in th^ city of McHenry. This is not news to some the readers of The Plaindealer, but the association wants to identify the fact that it is at all times active in looking after the accomplishment of public improvements for its members. The officers of the association can- l^°^n Duffy not at this time upon the public SCORED DISTINCT HIT WITH TWO LARGE AUDIENCES STRINGER NOW SCOUT MASTER IMPORTANT SCOUT MEETING HELD HERE SUNDAY ST.

GIVE McHENRY ITS BIGGEST AND BEST IMPROVEMENT One week from next Saturday, March 29, a special election will be held in the city of McHenry for the purpose of voting on a $10,000 bond issue, the money to be used jn defraying the expense of purchasing the right-of-way for route No. 20 as it passes thru our municipality. In order that this city may derive the benefit of having a state road pass thru it, it is up to McHenry to provide the right-of-way and, in view of the CITY POLITICS WARMING ONE TICKET ALREADY v IN FIRST WARD PILED Just a little surprise was sprung in local politics on Monday morning of this week when a petition, bearing the names of Charles W. Goodell and Peter M. Justen as candidates for city aldermen of the first ward, was filed with the city clerk. While something like that had been looked for by those more conversant with politics as they pertain to our City's affairs, very few had anticipated such an early entrance into the race.

WITH .ENCOURAGEMENT EVERYWHERE Atty. A. H. fouse.aMjWj-nry's candidate for the qffioe of stale's attorney, is very muoh pleased .with the outlook and believes that he-has a very good chance of being made the Republican nomineeVor the office at the coming spripg , primary to be held April 8. The hustling local attorney has* already made several trips around the county and his very latest survey appears to indicate that he is gaining ground in practically every section of the territory. Practically every newspaper in the county has given the able : McHenry attorney more or less publicity since bis entry into the state's attorney race and, judging from the many good things that have been and are now being said about him, it really begins to look as if McHenry, after many years of watchful walling, will be represented among the county office holders a year hence. McHenry's candidate Is especially pleased with the support he is being tendered by brother members of the bar of this county and, while not all of the men of this profeseion have declared themselves for Mr. Pouae, most of the number are with him and some of their number have actually pulled their cpats and are ^ut working for our candidate. Mr. Pottse believes that his best showing will be made in McHenry, Crystal Lake, Richmond, Hebron and Harvard, altho he is looking forward to a very nice vote at the county seat, Marengo and the ether towns and sections of tiie county. He confidently expects to be declared the nominee for the office to which he aspires. "His fellow citizens think very well of Mr. Pouse and will give him a splendid indorsement at the coming primary. RIGHT-OF-WAY ALL SECURED tN CITY talent play presented in McHenry in many years, but to our notion the presentation of "The White Headed Boy" was the best of its kind ever seen in this city. Each and every one of the characters fitted his or her part to a nicety and we would be very unfair indeed were we to give any one character more credit than the other. The very least that we can say is that the presentation 6f the play gave unmistakable evidence that within the membership of St. Patrick's parish there is real dramatic and musical talent. The stage settings, tl)£ gowns and various make-ups of the characters were in true harmony with the spirit j of the piece and, together with the responsive audicnces which greeted the i players, the first anniversary program ! of St. Patrick^ hall has gone down in the annals of the parish a%one of thej most successful social functions ever enjoyed. Between the acts very pleasing musical numbers were presented. A mixed quartet, consisting of Rev. M. J. McEvoy, Misses Dorothy Knox, Mildred Welch and Blanche Meyers, appeared in several very pretty numbers on the two nights and needless to say that their efforts were met with a hearty and prolonged applause. Another very enjoyable musical number was that of J. Irvin Tallmadge, who appeared as a flute soloist and rendered several splendid numbers. He was most capably accompanied on the piano by Mrs. C. W. Goodell. Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's church, and his parishioners are very grateful to those who took part in the play, to Miss Blanche D. Pryor, who so capably directed the play, to Mrs. C. W. Goodell and Mr. Tallmade, whose contributions to the evenings' pleasures came voluntarily, to the advertisers, who made possible the lafgest program ever issued in McHenry, and last, but not least, to the patrons, without whose support the efforts of the players would have been in vain. * As previously stated the first anniversary of St. Patrick's proved a auspicious occasion. TOWN ELECTION APRIL I succeed the former scoufe master and his position in our school has already made him popular with the boys and therefore should prove a very good successor to Mr. Evans. ' It is the intention of the promoters and friends of the Boy Scout movement in McHenry to stimulate more interest in this good work in the hope that the membership here will be materially increased during the coming few months. A number of the youngsters who are not already enrolled are becoming anxious to enlist and it really looks at this time as if McHenry Will this summer support as good a bunch of Boy Scouts as may be found anywhere. The Boy Scout movement deserves and is worthy of the support of everyone. Let this support be freely extended. ANNOUNCES THE WINNERS The present bridge across Fox river is not to be removed on account of the building of a second structure to span our beautiful stream.

All in all, it looks like McHenry has an opportunity of improving herself most wonderfully and the voters of the city will surely consent to vote a $10,000 bond issue in order to insure for us this gigantic improvement.
