' • J * ' . : - BAND IN PLEASING CONCERT MUSICIANS GREETED BY SMALL CROWD IN FIRST APPEARANCE The McHenry band ntade it first public appearance of the season at the public park last Thursday evening at which time an open-air concert -of more than ordinary merit was given. The attendance, probably due to Che fact that the concert had been adver tised but little, was small but none the less appreciative. The next concert will take place on Main street, on the West Side, this (Thursday) evening and will be given in connection with«the festivities which are to mark the offical opening of the new paving. While on the band subject we do not consider it out of order to make just a few plain statements regarding this organization and the support to which it is entitled. First of all McHenry can now lay claim to one of the best small town bands to be found anywhere and according to men who are better posted on organizations of this kind, the local band is probably the best of the smaller bands to be found in this part of the state, if not in the country. In view of this fact and also the great good which naturally comes to a city and commu nity thru such an organization no one can or would even attempt to deny that the boys are worthy and should have the support of our citizens. This support, we regret to say, has not been forthcoming as it should. Just why such a condition should and does exist we are in no position to explain. We are quite certain, however, that unless the business men of McHenry take more interest in the band and lend them better financial support than has been given them, especially in the past year or more, it will become necessary for this excellent organization to disband. Do the business men and citizens in general want this to happen ? We believe not. However, unless the proper moral and financial support is tendered a thing of this sort is quite certain to occur. Let us therefore urge the business men and music lovers in general to lend the band the support to which they lire entitled and thus assure themselves against a possible disband ment of this organization. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer it is the plan of the band to give weekly open-air concerts in this city. These concerts will alternate between the east and west sides of the city. For instance this (Thursday) evening the concert will be given on Main street on the West Side and one week from tonight they will again appear at the park. Give the band your moral as well as your financial support, attend the concerts and thus show by your presence that you are back of them. Surely everyone likes music and you cannot help but enjoy the excellency of these entertainments. The music as now played is all high grade and is the same as one will hear when listening to a professional band anywhere in the country. ALGONQUIN INDIANS HERB NEXT SUNDAY AFTERNOON The McHenry Grays will entertain the Algonquin Indians on the home grounds next Sunday afternoon in a game which should develop into a fast and interesting battle. These two clubs met in their season's first encounter at Crystal Lake on Decoration day at which time our boys were returned the winners by a score of 2 to 0. You will also remember the hot battles as staged betweeh these two clubs last season. matter of faffOfhenever the two teams hook Zip a\real game is guaranteecU^JWjIliams land Griesbaum will form the batteyy' for the visiting team while McHenry, as always, will depend on the old reliable Davison aftd Kingsley. This will be the last home game for several Sundays and therefore the fans should turn out in goodly numbers. Algonquin will invade McHenry with a big following of rooters, so it's up to the home fans to be there in goodly numberft. STATE MAN CHECKING |P ON AUTOMOBILES GOLFERS_ARE BUSY M'HENRY CLUB HAS EXCELLENT PROGRAM FOR SEASON "state man has been in McHenry this week checking up on local automobiles and truck drivers to ascertain whether or not all have supplied themselves with the required licenses. On his arrival here the officer found a number who were subject to fine on their failure to have equipped their machines or themselves with the licenses. No arrests were made, however, but a warning was given to these people who were found without license to so supply themselves without further delay. These state men, as a rule, do not advertise their coming and therefore it behooves one to get these licenses the first of the year and thus save themselves much embarrassment, if not a fine. FREE FLY 8WAITERS For next Saturday only, Jurie 20, we will give away one Miller fly swatter with every cash purchase amounting to $2.00 or more. T*e Progress Market and Grocery. VARIOUS TOURNAMENTS ARB CERTAIN TO STIMULATE INTEREST-- MANY PRIZES The Golf committee of the McHenry Country club has arranged its entire season's program and from now until the close of the season there will be plenty, of tournaments and other features to hold the interest Of the members. While some of the tournaments have already been started, the more important ones are yet to come. The first of these will be the tournament for the President's cup, the first round of which will be staged on July 4 and 5. The second round will be played on July 12, the third on July 19 and the final on July 26. Judge C. P. Barnes of Woodstock is now the holder of this cup, having won same for the first time last season. The cup becomes the property of the member winning three times. Needless to say that the popular county seat jurist wilt again make a bid for the honor this year altho it looks as if he will have harder competition than a year ago. The playing of a few of the members of the club has improved very considerably since last season and the of; ficials of the club look for a very spirited tournament as a result of this. The runner-up in this tournament will also be awarded a prize, the nature of which has not been decided on at this time. Another gontest which is certain to cause keen rivalry is the ladies' tournament for the Judge C. P. Barnes cup. The first round of this tournament will be played on July 12. The winner will be given permanent possession of the cup while the runner-up will also be given a valuable prize. On July 26 a flag tournament, the first of the kind ever attempted on the McHenry links, will be staged. Each member playing in this event will be given an individually numbered flag. Eighteen holes will be played and twothirds of handicap added to the par of the course will constitute a player's stroke number. The player will place his flag at the spot where the ball lies at his stroke number. The player whose fiag is the further advanced will be declared the winner of the tourna ment. Por instance: A player who has a handicap of 18 will be 74 plus twothirds of eighteen or 12, which will be equal to 86. The player's flag must be set in the ground at place where the ball comes to rest on his 86th stroke. This event is almost certain to enlist many entrants. The first round for the cup donated by State's Attorney Alford H. Pouse will be played on Aug. 2; the second on August 9, third on August 16 and final on August 23. This event will be match play with two-thirds difference in handicaps. The winner will have his name engraved on the cup and may hold same for one year. Runner-up will also receive a price. On August 23 and 80 there will be a husband and wife tournament. The couple winning this contest will receive a bridge lamp and shade donated byC. N.Owen. Eighteen holes will be played on each of the two days. The last of the season's tournaments will start on Sunday and Labor day, Sept. 6 and 7, and will be concluded on Sept. 27. The winner of this tournament will receive a championship gold medal while the runner-up will be awarded a silver medal. Besides these tournaments it is expected that the entertainment committee will also arrange for some social events to be participated in and enjoyed by the members during the season. Announcements of these events will undoubtedly be made in future issues of this paper. McHENRY'S PARK ENTERTAIN MANY AUTO TOURISTS The McHenry park is attracting more and more auto tourists over every week end. Last Sunday again saw the park well filled with visitors who stopped to eat their picnic lunches and enjoy a short rest. The park never looked more beautiful than now and those responsible for its present condition sincerely hope that ^visitors will not misuse this privilege by scattering paper and food stuffs. Waste paper ovens have been conveniently erected around the park and all papers and rubbish should be deposited therein. ;The old water troughs, which at one time occupiqfl places of advantage along our streets, have been moved to the park, filled up with rich black soil and planted with flowers. The troughs have been neatly painted and add much to the attractiveness of the place. NEXT K. OF C. MEETING The next meeting of the members of the McHenry council, K. of C., will take place at their hall on Thursday evening, June 25. During the months of June, July and August only one meeting of the council will take place each month, the mating night being the last Thursday evening of each of these months. TO PLAINDEALER PATRONS Notice is hereby given to those knowing themselves to be indebted to The McHenry Plaindealer to call and settle their accounts or rpake arrangements for an early settlement. It is my desire to have all accounts settled by the first of the month at which time this plant will be turned over to my successor. Please be kind enough to attend to this matter at your earliest convenience. F. G. SCHREINER. 600 ATTEND K. OF C~ PICNIC FATHER FLANNIGAN*S .BOYS PROVIDE FINE MUSIC / The second of a series of summer outings as sponsored by the members of Knights of Columbus councils of Aurora, Batavia, Elgin, Belvidere, Woodstock, Harvard and McHenry was held in Conway's park, east of Fox river, near,this city, last Sunday afternoon. Members of the various councils, together with their wives and families, started arriving in McHenry during the forenoon and by one o'clock there had gathered on the picnic grounds a crowd numbering approximately 600 people. The day could not have been a mora ideal one for such an occasion and as a natural consequence the event proved an exceptionally enjoyable one for all. The athletic program was carried out as per previous arrangements. Two indoor base ball games proved interesting and quite exciting. In the fifst of these games McHenry was pitted against a team representing the Harvard council, McHenry winning the tilt by a score of 7 to 6. The second 'game was between members of the Belvidere and Aurora councils, the latter team winning this game by a score of 10 to 7. Another game between girls' teams from Woodstock and Elgin had also been scheduled but did not develop. Other games and athletic events included a bald headed men's race, boys' race, K. of C. race, young ladies' race and a tug of war between a team composed of members of the McHenry council and one composed of two men each of the various councils represented. Another treat, and an unexpected one, was the presence of Father Flannigan and his band of boys from Omaha, Neb., who are touring this section of the country. This band played several very fine selections. A col ored boy, who is the drummer of the hand, also favored the crowd with some clever dancing and recitations. He surely made a great hit, as did the band. The visitors carried their picnic lunches which were eaten in the park during the noon hour. The next picnic to be participated in by the councils above mentioned is scheduled to take place at Harvard on Sunday, June 28. McHENRY NOT A SPEED TRAP FOR SUMMER RESORTERS LOCAL PAPER SOLD CHAS. F. RENICH OF WOODSTOCK BUYS THE PLAINDEALER POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY TO BE GIVEN PURCHASER ON JULY FIRST The McHenry Plaindealer has been sold by F. G. Schreiner to Charles F, Renich, editor and publisher of the Woodstock Daily and Weekly Sentinel. The deal involving the sale of the property was closed on Monday of this week although possession will not be given until July 1. The Plaindealer only recently closed its fiftieth year of service and has now entered upon volume No. 51. The paper was founded by the late J. Van Slyke during the summer of 1875 and has been published continuously ever since. During this half of a century it has had but three owners which include the founder, The Plaindealer company and the writer. Mr. Van Slyke conducted the paper for twenty-four years, selling the plant ,to The McHenry plaindealer company. This company was headed by the late James B. Perry. McHenry men associated with him were F. K. Granger and W. A. Cristy, all of whom have since passed away. Other prominent men of the county who were included in the list of stockholders were the late and very much beloved Judge Chas. H. Donnelly of Woodstock, Luman T. Hoy of Woodstock and M. J. Walsh, editor and publisher of the Harvard Herald. This company continued the publication of the paper until Nov. 1, 1906, when the paper was sold to the writer, who has since been its owner and publisher. The new owner, Mr. Renich, is not a stranger in McHenry as his association with newspaper work at the county seat dates back more than forty years. For more than a quarter of a century he has been head of. the Woodstock Sentinel, McHenry county's oldest newspaper. We take great pleasure in announcing Mr. Renich as our successor as wc feel very confident that he will give the readers just as good and possibly a better paper than has been produced by the writer during the past nineteen years. As posseuion of .the paper will not be given until July 1, the present own er and editor will remain until that time and will have charge of the plant during the issuance of next week's edition and has also consented to remain with Mr. Renich during the wwk of July 1. CITY'S BUSIEST CORNER CLOSED FOR SHOOT TIME It has just been brought to the attention of the writer that a story has become current among some of our summer guests that McHenry this summer would develop into a regular speed trap and that every resort owner or summer guest driving an automobile in our city would be watched and in case of too fast a speed would be arrested and given the maximum fine. This report, upon investigation of Tha Plaindealer, is found to be incorrect and utterly without foundation. The city of McHenry, business men and citizens in general are always happy at the opportunity to welcome our summer residents to this city and their constant aim, as we see it, is to make them feel welcome, give them the best of service and do everything within reason to make their stay among ua pleasant. Auto owners and drivers among our summer population may rest assured that they will not be stopped or molested as long as they drive their machines at a safe and sane rate of speed and this, we have observed, is" being done by most of them. McHenry is not a speed trap but its officials mean to uphold law and order. TWO GASOLINE PUMPS WERE BROKEN SATURDAY NlGHT When John W. Schaffer, proprietor of the McHenry garage, and John Stilling, owner and operator of a vulcanizing shop, both located on Pearl street, arrived at their places last Sunday morning they found that gasoline pumps had been tampered with during the previous night. The lock on both pumps had been broken and undoubtedly some gasoline stolen, altho the proprietors were unable to determine their losses. Stealing of gasoline seems to have become quite a common practice thruout this section. The breaking of the locks and stealing of the gas at the two McHenry stations probably occurred sometime between midnight and^day light Sunday morning. Up until midnight this thorofare, especially on Saturday nights, is quite a busy one and therefore the presumption that the deed was committed early Sunday morning. The intersection of Green and Elm street, McHenry's busiest corner, was closed for a 3hort time last Saturday afternoon while men engaged by the Western United Gas company were laying new mains at this point. The traffic, during the short time that the thorofare was closed, was directed thru the alley between the McHenry bakery and Telephone Exchange building and thence out via the alley thru the Jacob Justen property. Since then the corner has been torn up more or less on account of the grading preparatory to the laying of cement. It became necessary to dig up the road bed again on Tuesday white the mains for the surface water were being laid. Such improvements as are now being made in McHenry cannot be put in without more or less inconvenience to the traveling public but this must be expected. LOCAL REALTORS SELL THREE MORS LOTS ORGAN RECITAL HERE SUNDAY CLARENCE EDDY TO APPEAR HERB IN MUSICAL EVENT , Three more lots were sold by Kent & Green, local realtors, over the weekend, bringing their total sales of lots to ten over a period of less than two weeks. Two of the three lots sold over the last week end were purchased by Joe Welter of Chicago in the Sten ger and Allen subdivision on the west shore of the Fox, south of this city, while the third, a lot in Hickory Grange, became the property of Albert Nielson. Mr. Weiler now owns fonr lots in the Stenger and Allen subdivi sion and is planning the erection of one of the finest homes along that shore of our river. More lots are be ing sold along our river this summer than for a number of seasons past and it looks as if buildingy>perations along its course will continue thruout the entire season. CELEBRATE PAVEMENT OPENING THIS EVENING Business men of the West Side have everything arranged for a big social time this (Thursday) evening when there will be a band concert and pavement dancing on the new Main street paving. The celebration has been arranged in a manner of rejoicing over McHenry's first completed street paving and those who attend are assured of an exceptionally pleasant time. The McHenry band, one of the best in this section of the state, will give one of its popular open air concerts which is to be followed by pavement dancing, the music for which is to be furnished by Frank Qans' orchestra. Music lovers of this city and community are looking forward to the or gan recital which is to be given by Clarence Eddy of Chicago at St. Mary's Catholic church in this city next Sunday evening, June 21, with great enthusiasm. Mr. Eddy is to be assisted by John J. Flood. It will be the first time in the history of this city that the opportunity will be afforded the public to listen to such a recital right at home and judging from the many comments heard from all sides the occasion is almost certain to witness the largest audience which ever packed the big edifice. The program will "start promptly at eight o'clock and will consist of the following numbers: "Hymn of Glory" Pictro A. Yon "On the Mount" .. J. Frank Frysinger Third Sonata (new) .. .Felix Borowski I--Allegro con spirtto. II--Intermezzo (Allegretto*), III--Andante. * IV -- Andante maestoso--Allegro brillante. Ave Maria Shubert John J. Flood "Song of the Basket Weaver" (new) Alexander Russell "In a Monastery Garden" Albert W. Ketelb^ "Russian Boatsmen's Song" Anon * (Arranged by Clarence Eddy) Ave Maria, No. ?...... .. .M. E. Bossi Ave Verum . .Anon John J. Flood Toccata in F major ...., .C. M. Widor (From the fifth organ symphony) The Oakland (Calif.) Tribune of February 18, made the following com ment after one pf Mr. Eddy's concerts in that city: "The sure and sensitive hand of Clarence Eddy guided again last evening the organ of the First Presbyterian church. The organ had been greatly expanded and improved over the instrument upon which Theodore Bonnet played in this same church a few years ago and bore even less re semblance to the organ upon which Eddy himself so capably presided. In fact, the occasion of the venerable musician's journey here from Chicago was to dedicate the new instrument "It was a fitting meeting between capable player and adequate equip ment. The organ has been swelled in size, vastly improved in methods of manipulation. A new facility in execution is now possible. The organist's dexterity thus equipped produced technical feats to which we had not been used. "He began with Liszt's prelude and fugue on "Bach" in which Liszt has translated to a medium hardly intended for his irrepressible fioriture a sample at least of his trills and roulades. These Eddy played, noticeably in the prelude, at a surprising tempo, and yet with admirable fluency. Certainly the older organ could not have accommodated him and Liszt. We had next another sample from the 'Through the Looking Glass' suite by Deems Taylor, of which three striking sections recently have been played here by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. This "Dedication" movement is almost pure "recitative," a winsome succession of melodies with the gossamer-like support of a Debussy or a Ravel. The organ's richness in mixtures and the organist's understanding in their production were both obvious. "We were introduced to a new sonata by Felix Borowski which in conception and in sturdy grasping of the organ's possibilities is among the best things he has done. It was played by Eddy with power and beauty alike. Nuances in the expressive intermezzo and the poetical andante were given with muph beauty of tone, while he built up a massive structure of sonority in the closing allegro brillante. Whether it was Eddy's playing or the enhanced potentialities of the organ was not always certain, but between them the instrument seemed vastly improved in this matter of sonority.' Tickets are now being distributed and sold by members of St. Mary's parish at one dollar each. SOHM EJECTMENT CASE IS SET FOR JUNE » The Otto F. Sohm ejectment case, in which the town of McHenry is attempting to secure the right-of-way for the completion of route 20 as the same will enter and pass thru our city, has been set for Monday, June 29, and will be tried by Judge Reynolds of Rockford in the McHenry county circuit court. Plaindealer readers are already too familiar with the case to necessitate further explanation at this time. The case, however, will be watched with a great amount of interest. The state will not build the connecting link of route 20 until all right-of-way has been secured. WAUCONDA BUS LINE The North Shore line, which has operated a motor bus service between this city and Waukegan for more than a year, on Monday morning inaugurated an additional service which takes in the village of W 10 CELEBRATE HERE THREE DAYS' EVENT SCHEDULED FOR FOX PAVILION PARK FESTIVITIES TO START FRIDAY.

Such recklessness must cease in McHenry and Officer Walsh Is going to see to it that It it stopped. RAIN DELAYS ROAD WORK The rain of Wednesday morning caused another delay in the progress of our paving program. It was the intention of the contractors to start paving work on the east end of Sim street on that mornihg. However, on account of the heavy rain, the start here was not begun until today (Thursday).
