Formal opening of the nine hole course of the Crystal Lake Country club will take place next Saturday, July 26. The course is 3319 yards long and has a par of 36. William G. Feeley, for many years employed as section foreman at Crystal Lake, passed away at his late home in that city quite suddenly on Tues day morning of last week. The Elgin State hospital at the present time is caring for 2,678 patients, thus being the largest number ever cared for at any one time since the institution of the place. Atty. A. J. Mullen of Woodstock, who has enjoyed a fine practice in that city for a number of years, has sold his home there to Frank Slavin of Woodstock and with his wife will leave soon for Los Angeles, Calif., ' where they will make their future home. The school census in many of the cities and towns of the state has now been completed, thus giving many cities an opportunity to inform the outside world of the growth in population. Waukegan now claims a population of 23,655, while Barring ton has 2,109 F. W. Stancliff, a farmer residing north of Prairie View, Lake county, last Thursday afternoon flustrated the kidnapping of a little son of Louis Bublitz by gypsies just as the lad was being carried to an awaiting 'automobile. The rescuer had been at work in a field near the scene and arrived at the road just in time to Bave the lad. Gypsies nowadays travel in motor cars, making it possible for them to make a quick get-away after" a robbery or any other act of lawlessness. Joe Christoffle, a farmer residing near Greenwood, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon of last week and placed under a $1,000 bond and bound over to the grand jury as the result of a raid made by Sheriff Edinger on the day previous. A bottle was found in the house which, it is said, contained a small quantity of moonshine In a search of the premises the raiding party also found two sacks among willows, one of which was filled with Jialf gallon jugs and the other contained ten large packages of yeast. Thirty-two barrels of beer were loaded up at Payne's hill, a short distance north of Crystal Lake, under the direction of Sheriff Edinger on Wednesday morning of last week and hauled to the court house at Woodstock. Just how all of this good stuff happened to be there the officials have not learned, altho the supposition is that the beer runner's truck broke down at this point and he was forced to abandon the load. The beer was found in a ditch near the side of the road, the runner having evidently made a hurried effort to conceal the ' - barrels. \ District Attorney Alfred L. Godfrey 'Of Elkhorn, Wis., has issued an official ban on Sunday dances on the shores of Delavan lake, following numerous complaints of disorderly conduct at some of the resorts and a raid said to have been staged by members of the Ku Klux Klan of Beloit and Janesville on the Dutch Mill, located jMt Spring Lawn. It is announced that no Sunday dances will be permitted the couiHy. Those who made the complaints charge that "h:p liquor" was carried by mafiy of the patrons of th<" resorts, that they mixed the hootch with ginger ale at the tables Imd invited the girls with them to drink of the concoction.

Muldoofl of Rockford will be in McHenry next Sunday, when he will personally take charge of the services during which the new altars and pipe organ at St. Mary's Catholic church will be blessed. Invitations to the -blessings have been extended and it is expected that quite a large number of visiting priests will be present to assist in making the occasion a memorable event. According to present plans, the distinguished guest will arrive in Me Henry on Saturday evening, driving overland from Marengo.

GRADE SCHOOL BUILDING UNDERGOES CHANGES WAS BORN ON FARM NEAR RING WOOD ON MARCH W ISMMARRIED IN 1867 Arlette TutUe, of Revolutionary ancestry, and the youngest child of Joseph B. and Eliza Horton Tuttle, was born on a farm near Ringwood, Illinois, March 13, 1844. In this vicinity she passed her girlhood; her youthful experiences were those typical of a child in a pioneer day, except that for three years she was without her father's care, while he was away in the gold diggings of California. After his return life went on as before, until at the age of fifteen years, when she shared with her sister, Lucinda, the entire care of the farm home and of an invalid mother, who passed away July 25, 1860. She was married to James Bigelow Perry, a native of New Hampshire, August 25, 1867, in the tJniversalist church of McHenry by the Rev. B. N. Wiles. To this happy union were born Howard Rand, James Alfred, Agnes Arlette and Bernice, all of whom survive except James, who died on the hospital ship Olivet during the Spanish-American war and was buried at sea. Mrs. Perry is also survived by her husband and four grandchildren, Gertrude Perry Swift, Howard Rand Perry, Jr., Larlette Perry and Arlette Helen Hanly. Many years ago Mrs. Perry united with the Wniversalist church, the ch'urch of her ancestors for several generations. Outside of her home and family, this waathe one great interest of her life, toNvhich she gave her unending devotion. She died as she had lived, confident that neither life nor death could separate her from the love of God. For more than fifty years she lived in the home where she passed away on July 15, and she was buried July 17 in Woodlawn cemetery beside her mother. The burial service was conducted by Dr. Frank D. Adams, pastor of the Universalis church in Detroit, Mich. Taken sick on her eightieth birthday, her last illness was of several months' duration. During these weeks of patient suffering she talked of her Agoing with her family, to whom she often repeated lines from the following poem: Sundown By Bert Leston Taylor "When the sun of life is low, When the dewy shadows creep, Say tor me before I go, Now I lay me down to sleep.* I am at the journey's end, I have sown and I must reap; There are no more ways to mend-- Now I lay me down to sleep. Nothing more to doubt or dare, Nothing more to give or keep; Say for me the children's prayer, 'Now I lay me down to sleep.' Who has learned along the way-- Primrose path or stony More of wisdow than to say, _ Now I lay me down to sleep.* What have you more wise to tell When the shadows round me creep? All is over, all is well, Now I lay nfe down to sleep.1 GOUISION AIVOLO WILL TAULpVER BETTER ROAD CONDITIONS ' The* grade school building is now undergoing some changes in anticipation of the opening of the fall term All of the partitions, which were put in two years ago to accommodate the overflow, have again been removed, thils reverting all of the rooms to their original size, which is certain to work out to very good advantage to the students as well as the teachers. It is our understanding that seven rooms will be used in carrying on the grade work during the coming season, which means an additional instructor. Two rooms, located on the second floor of the west wing, will not be used this year. However, the gymnasium : and basement will be at the disposal I of the pupils the same as heretofore. All of the walls and ceilings are now being repainted and tinted and the entire structure will present a very pleasant atmosphere by the opening of the fall term. CLEAN ATTRACTION Honest Bill's shows exhibited here yesterday afternoon and evening and proved a real good attraction, according to those who witnessed the performances. The show put on a very creditable motor driven street parade at one o'clock. While the matinee crowd was not very large, the big top was crowded for the evening performance. To us it looked like an exceptionally clean outfit. A meeting is advertised to take place at the Bald Knob hotel, Pistakee Lake, at nine o'clock next Sunday morning, July $7, at which time the matter of organizing an association for the improvement of that section of the lake. A number of the property owners there are responsible for the calling of this meeting in the hope that it will result in the formation of some sort of a body which will, in time, accomplish things that will prove of value to all of the residents of that part of the lake territory. Just now, on account of the high stage of water, some of the roads, and particularly the main thorofare leading to that end of the lake, have been rather unsafe for travel and in case that Sunday's meeting brings about the desired results the roads will be the first thing to be improved. PORTABLE SCHOOL BUILDING TORN DOWN TUESDAY Hundreds of summer re sorters, guests and motor boat enthusiasts saw four excellent boat races as run at Fox Lake last Sunday afternoon under the auspices of the Fox River Valley Power Boat club. Besides the scores of people who witnessed the water events from the shores of this beautiful body of water, there were no less than 100 passenger boats anchored on the lake, from where several hundred viewed the races from those vantage points The first was that of boats entered in the 340 class, there being five starters in this event, as follows: Grace, owned by F. Johnson of Fox Lake; Ede, owned' by L. J. Hugh of Fox Lake; Helen C., owned by John Chapp of Fox Lake; Hattie, owned by H. C. Ericsson of Fox Lake, and Mavis, .owned by John MacLean of Fox Lake. The finish of the boats and the time made by each was as follows: First, Mavis, time, 13:30; second, Helen C., time, 13:33; third, Hattie C., time, 13:45; fourth, Grace, time, 14:28; fifth, Ede, time, 14:45. In the second race, the 510 class, there were four entries: Miss Martha, owned by H. Ladewig; Our Own, owned by A. Paonessa; Spark Plug, owned by L. Olson, and Rosedel, owned by Otto F. Ring. Miss Martha won this event in nine minutes and forty-five seconds; Our Own, second, time 10:20. The other two boats did not finish, having encountered engine trouble. The third event was a special race in which four hoats participated. The entries were Miss Martha, Mickie, owned by Chas. Zenisek; Our Own and Myrtle, owned_ by W. Egan. The finish was: Mickie, first, time 9:43; Miss Martha, second, time, 9:44; Myrtle, third, time, 10:13; Our Own, fourth, time 10:20. The last race of the afternoon, a bang and go back event, was won by Miss Martha. The other boats entered in this race were the Mickie, Maxine Rose, Ede and Helen C. The Fox lake course is about seven miles in length and the time made was therefore considered very good. The officials of the club have arranged for five events for the season of 1924, Sunday's races having been the second on the program, the first races having been held over the Fox I river course on Saturday, July 5. The next races will take place over the Long lake course on Sunday, August 8. The fourth event will take place over the Pistakee bay and lake course on August 17, while the last of the season's program of races will be run at Fox Lake on August 31. The memberships thus far received, by the officials of the boat club include the following: A. V. Hannifin, W. D. Foreman, John H. Chapp, H. Ladewig, W. F. Marggraf, Chas. Zenisek, Jos. Hladovez, W.

Ladewig, W. F, Marggraf, C. E. Reed, Otto F. Ring and J. M. Vlaciha. There are two classes of member' ships, active and associate. The annual dues of the active members are $25, while the associate members pay in $5.00. TWO MACHINES CAME TOGETHER LAST FRIDAY NIGHT COMPLETE WOODSTOCK ROAD LAST CEMENT POURED ON WOODSTOCK END MONDAY ONE DRIVER DIES AS RESULT OF INJURIES RECEIVED AND 7 OTHERS HURT One of the most serious automobile accidents to occur in this vicinity this summer took place at the intersection of Rand road and route 20, or more commonly known as Belvidere street, at Volo at 8:30 o'clock last Friday evening, the smashup resulting in the death of one man and the -injury of seven other people. The man killed wasC. B. Heater of 318 Ottawa street, J'oliet, HI. He passed away at the Victory Memorial hospital at Waukegan five hours after the injury without gaining consciousness. He had suffered a basal skull fracture. Riding with Heater was Joseph Phalen of Chicago, who suffered a broken right arm. " These two men rod£ in a Dodge coupe that struck a Packard sedan carrying three adults and three children. All of the occupants of the Packard car were scratched and bruised, none seriously, however. The personnel of the Packard follows: August Lorenz, 500 Washington boulevard, Chicago, the driver, practically uninjured but for minor cuts; Mrs. August Lotenz, his wife, cut about the face and hands; Mrs. Guy Gimlin, 5458 West Adams street, Chicago, a friend of the Lorenz's, slightly bruised; two Lorenz children and a son of Mrs. Gimlin, bruises and minor injuries. Heater was first taken to Gray slake, where he was given emergency treatment by a local physkian. He was taken to Waukegan in the Wetzel and Peterson ambulance, arriving at the Memorial hospital at 10:30 o'clock Drs. Besley and Barnes were'called to the hospital to work with the Grayslake physician. Both machines were said to have been traveling at a good rate of speed with the Dodge going some faster than the other car. According to reports the Dodge car crowded the Packard well over on the shoulder of the road. E. H. Goodman, 347 Homan avenue, Chicago, who was trailing the Dodge, was probably the first to arrive on the scene after the accident, but was unable to throw any light as to where the blame belonged. Two suit cases were taken from the Dodge car, or what remained of it, after the crash and according to reports two pints of whiskey were found therein. • PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY CONDUCTS COOKING SCHOOL ITEMS or The last cement, which gives us a continuous cement ' Toad between Sherman's hill, west pf this city, to the city of Woodstock; was poured on Monday evening of this week. Charles E. Giertz & Son, the contractors, will now widen out the old stretch of cement leading out of Woodstock by adding a four-foot strip to it and also will widen the curves near the John C. Shuett and Peacock farms. This work should not take long and it now looks as if the new road will be open to travel within the course of the next thirty days While rumors to the effect that these contractors have been awarded the link which eventually will connect the east and west section, thru the city of McHenry, are still afloat, The Plaindealer has not as yet . received official confirmation that this is the case. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer,. those best informed on the matter are of the opinion that this will be done and that Giertz & Son will do the work, and we feel certain that activity on the McHenry stretch will manifest itself before many mdre weeks have passed. Another rumor has it that the J. J. Dunnigan company, which built the road from Volo to the Mrs. Kennebeck farm, is also very desirous of obtaining the contract thru this city including the "two bridges, one over Fox river and the other across the mill pond. In view of the fact that the gravel washer, owned by the latter named company, and located on the Nick Weingart farm, has not as yet been dismantled seems to. lend credence to the latter report. However, official news regarding the future action of the state highway department is still being awaited by The Plaindealer and we are this week unable to either confirm or deny the above reports. It is our hope and wish that the contract for this work will be let at a very early date so that the road work, at least, may be completed this fall. Of course, no one can or would expect a contractor to complete the two bridges this year. - AS PICKED UP BY PIAINDEALEV REPORTERS DURING WEEK WHAT PEOPLE ARB DOING IN THIS VTLLAGB AND IMMEDIATE VICINITY I and English pottery at hM FIFTH ANNUAL OUT DOOR MEET OF AMERICAN LUTHER LEAGUE HERE NEXT SUNDAY MLFC AND MRS.

The couple left McHenry during the The West Side business section of this city was all bedecked with beautiful large American flags on Wednesday of this week and upon investigation we learned that these flags were sold to business men in that end of town some two weeks ago and were delivered on Wednesday morning. In a manner of demonstrating their decorative value, the flags were erected on their delivery and, to say the least, the sight was most strike ing. The flags come with a large staff, which fit into a small hole which is'bored into the cement at the edge of the walks. We understand that the business men in the other sections of town are also to be solicited in the hope that everyone will purchase. The flags are to bo used only on legal holidays. ICE CREAM SOCIAL Where? On the M. E. church lawn. ; When ? Saturday afternoon and John Regner, whose farm borders Pistakee lake, reports the loss of a valuable farm horse on Monday of this week, the animal's death having been caused by a stray bullet.

The injury was not detected until that evening when Mr. Regner noticed that the animal had been wounded. Upon examination by the local veterinarian, Dr. J. E. Wheeler, it was discovered that the wound was caused by a rifle bullet. Who fired the shot which caused the death of the animal is not known and probably never will be.
