Her strength failed fast the last few weeks and she was tenderly cared for by her sister, Mrs. E. J. Hopper, and family, but all that medical care and loving hands could do was of no avail. Her work on earth was done and her Savior called here home. Rose was the youngest daughter of John and Clarissa Ann Coates, both having preceded her in death. In youth she joined the Baptist church at Greenwood, but that organization having disbanded on account of some people passing away and others moving away, she united with the Methodist church of the same village, to which she remained faithful to the end. Of the nine children Rosebelle, she was often called, was the first to dejpart this life. There remain to mourn her departure five brothers and three sisters.

Hopper of Ringwood; Elijah of Greenwood; Mrs. Fred Wiedrich of Ringwood; Joseph of Crystal Lake; Charles E. of Genoa, Wis. All were present at the funeral with the exception of Robert.

Ross officiating, and interment was made at the, cemetery west of Ringwood. You have gone to a home 'where there is no sorrow or pain and you have left a vacant place that never can be filled. So farewelf, dear sister, till the Savior calls us home. Polly Prim tavern, chicken or steak dinners, $1.50. No cover charges. Dancing free.

An automobile pulled up just north of the Jacob Justen furniture store last ever5, and within a short time the passengers started out to attract a crowd for the purpose of sell ing safety razors and blades. Too m&ny counter attractions, including a circus, proved too much and the gentlemen closed up shop. They carried away very little profit. McHenry council, K. of C., will hold a basket picnic at Conway's park, just east of the river, on Sunday, Aug. 3. One of the feature attractions will be an indoor baseball game to be staged between teams representing the local and Elgin councils. The Elgin team has already defeated Woodstock and the game is certain tg, elicit a great deal of interest. The picnic will be for the members and their wives and families. It is expected that a large delegation of Elgin Knights and their wives and families will also be present as will members from neighboring councils. Samuel Chester Parker, professor of education at the University of Chicago, passed away at the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago on Monday afternoon of this week, following an operation for appendicitis. The deceased was quite well and favorably known to a number of our people as well as summer guests as he and his family have spent the past ten summer seasons at Howell's Villa on Fox river near this city, where they own a cottage. Mr. Parker was out at his summer home about ten days prior to his death. The sympathy of friends here is extended to the bereaved wife and son. ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE.

Bell, also of Chicago, plunged into that stream, was recovered by John Jeremy and William Law, Stillwater, Minn., Indians, after it had been in the water for nine days. The body was found suspended from a low branch of a tree about five miles from the point where 'the machine made its fatal plunge. The river was swollen at the time of the accident, but had gone down sufficiently to reveal the body of the woman where it was found by the Indians. Another woman lost her life at the same time, but the driver managed to escape by swimming to shore. Don't forget to call on Wm. G.

McHenry's new motorcycle cop, who took up his duties on Thursday morning of last week, has already accomplished some very effective work. In fact the motor traffic in this city, since his appearance, is the most orderly that it has been seen in years. While a number of arrests have been made, % the officer has not, so far as we have been able to learn, over-stepped his authority nor has he been unreasonable in his demand for the observance of laws which govern automobile traffic. Quite naturally, he has been called upon to warn a number of local automobile owners who have heretofore shown an inclination to be just a trifle lax in the observance of the state and city laws, but as a rule our citizens are satisfied to have the cop with us. In this day and age motorists must be brought to time, especially as regards speed, and unless this is done everywhere we cannot expect to lessen the number of automobile accidents and killings. McHenry thus far has been very fortunate in not having more of her citizens injured, maimed or even killed on account of reckless driving, but as we have so often stated we cannot expect always to tie that lucky. McHenry citizens should bear in* mind, especially auto drivers, that this police official was not engaged out of spite, but for the protection of all of us CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our thanks to thetkind neighbors and friends who in any way assisted during the last ill ness and after the death of our dear sister, Rose Coates; for the many kind words of sympathy and also for the beautiful flowers.
