FAMILY REUNION AT _ JOHN SCHUENEMANN HOME S OPENS OFFICE AT COUNTY SEAT BUT RETAINS RESIDENCE IN THIS CITY Atty. A. H. Pouse of this city is now the active state's attorney of McHenry county, he, with the other newly elected county officers, haVing been duly sworn in on Monday morning of this week and immediately assumed his new official capacity as McHenry county state's attorney. No iooner had the McHenry attorney been sworn in before he found himself busily engaged in his new work. The first case for State's Attorney Pouse was furnished by Marengo officers of the law, who brought into the McHenry county court three brothers, Arthur, Francis and Verne Mitchell of Chicago,'who were arrested last Saturday night on the Grant highway after their car had taken to the ditch. State's Attorney Pouse filed an information in the county court, charging the three with disorderly conduct County Judge Charles P. Barnes assessed the trio fines of $10, $15 and $25, plus costs, Which they paid and were discharged. The liquor, perjury and other cases, started in the McHenry county circuit court some time ago and for which Attorneys David R. Joslyn of Woodstock and Vm. Pierce of Belvidere were named as special state's attorney, will continue with the same attorneys in charge of the prosecution. It is understood that Attorney Pouse expressed the wish that this course be followed. The special state's attorneys will therefore remain in office until such time as all of the various cases with which they have been connected will have been cleaned up. The new state's attorney not only bears the distinction of being the youngest man to hold this important office in McHenry county in a great many years, but also holds the honor of being the first McHenry man to be elected to that position. Attorney Pouse is a clean-cut young man, a fighter and hard worker and The Plaindealer as well as his many loyal friends in this city predict for him a very successful and satisfactory term. It has been many years since McHenry has been represented in official capacity within the walls of the McHenry county court house. Not since the term of Hon. James B. Perry as county treasurer has a local man held a county office. State's Attorney Pouse has closed his McHenry office and rented quarters in the Dushnak building on Cass The first and second high school teams of Wauconda will be here on Friday evening to assist the McHenry teams in dedicating the gymnasium at the new community high school. This will be the opening of the new gym as well as the 1924-25 basket ball season and a large crowd is certain to be present to root our boys on to victory and also to make the opening of the new gymnasium an auspicious occasion. Both McHenry teams have been putting in some hard practice during the past two weeks in anticipation of the opening games and, according to Coach -Stringer, his,, protegees are fit and arearin' to go. McHenry fans are also anxious for the opening and will be there in goodly numbers to see the locals perform on a regular gym floor. Never before in the history of the local high school athletics have the students enjoyed the privilege of a real gym, but "them days is gone forever," and henceforth lovers of high school athletics and sports may rest assured that McHenry's school will be. very much on the map. , In spite of the fact that the high school athletes have been handicapped in past years by not having a real gym in which to play and practice, the school has turned out some good basket ball teams, and now that things have changed McHenry fans should be TO DEDICATE SCHOOL FORMAL OPENING OF NEW BUILDING DECEMBER 13 EXHIBITS OF WORK AND PROGRAM TO MARK DEDICATION-- C.

Every number of the evening's program was faultlessly rendered and it surely was a revelation to see and hear the wonderful band to which McHenry now lays claim. The music "put over" last night is very rarely attempted by anyj small town band, but our organization did not only attempt it, but did pre-? sent these difficult numbers in a manner that would do credit to many a larger and more experienced organization of this kind. To each and every member of the organization is due a great deal of credit for the merited concert put on last night as well as the director, Prof. W. N. Sears of B^rrington, recognized as one of the leading band men of the country. The vocal numbers by Tom and Robert Brown, the cornet solo by Earl De- Long, musical numbers by Mason and Heideman and the interpretative dancing by Miss Virginia Gruener were all very excellent numbers, which received a hearty reponse from the audience. One special number, not on the printed program, was produced by Mrs. B. Thonneson, B. Popp and Anton Freund. This was a German musical sketch which brought forth much applause. All in all this year's band concert proved a decided success. MACHINERY FOR NEW FACTORY NOW HERE thoro investigation ne has determined, id his opinion, the fundamental reason after the meeting.
