MARY'S CHURCH Miss Kathryn King and Mr. John .CLfhies United in Marrli|e on Wednesday One of the loveliest of spring weddings was solemnized at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning in St. Mary's Roman Catholic church, when Mjss Kathryn King, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John King, of this city, and Mr. John C. Thies, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Thies, also of McHenry, were united in marriage by the pastor of St. St. Mary's, Rev. Father Charles Nix. The stately edifice presented a very beautiful appearance with its altars banked with ferns and great tall stemmed Easter lilies. The bridal party slowly wended its way up the main aisle of the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by the church organist. Miss King was beautiful in delicate flesh-colored georgette with rhinestone trimming and matching hose and silver slippers. A picture hat of transparent straw braid completed the costume. The bridal bouquet, composed of white sweet peas, lilies of the valley, ferns and butterfly roses, fell in showers to her feet. Miss Julia King of Wilmette, the bride's youngest sister, served her as bridesmaid. She was gowned in orchid georgette, trimmed in ecru silk lace, with hose and slippers of orchid and a picture hat of orchid transparent straw. Her bouquet was of orchid, sweet peas, ferns and butterfly roses. Mr. Thies had as his attendant, his brother, Mr. Charles Thies, of Chicago. Three intimate friends of the bride, Miss Mildred Welch, Miss Clara ^filler and Mrs. F. J. Aicher, sang the mass and the "Ave Maria." Miss King has been a most efficient manager of the National Tea Store for the past year and previous to that she was employed for several years by the Pries Grocery and Market, where her cheery smile and kindly manner, coupled with her splendid efficiency, have endeared her to hosts of admiring friends, whose tributes to her in beautiful and costly gifts upon her wedding day serve to show the high esteem in which she is held. Mr. Thies has been a resident of McHenry for the last four years, where he has been engaged in the wholesale distribution of candies. He is a member of the local council, Knights of Columbus, the McHenry Country club and the Kiwanis club, in which organizations he has held important and trustworthy posts. Mir. Thies has always been one of the foremost members in the promoting of any local or civic enterprises which make for the betterment of the community and city in which he lives. He, like his bride, is very prominent socially and numbers hosts of friends whose well wishes go with him for his future happiness.

Mrs. Thies wore for her going away gown a navy blue georgette trimmed with silk fringe, a black satin coat with dyed squirrel collar and hat of visca straw in green. A multitude of friends extend to this popular young couple their heartiest congratulation.

An Appeal The Plaindealer is requested to make an appeal to parents in McHenry to see that their children are not allowed to disturb residents during the evenings, in the way of ringing doorbells and throwing rubbish, on front porches. Last Friday evening an elderly lady was molested by some one who perhaps was of a mischievous temperament, but such acts should be stopped. If they continue and the parties are found out, they may expect to find themselves answering to an officer of the law.

Mr. Frett was the victor with a majority of exactly fifty votes, he receiving 366 to Mr. Knox's 316. The winning candidate carried the first and second wards, while his opponent had a majority in the third. Six hundred ninety-nire votes were cast in all the three wards, being probably the largest number ever cast at any city election in McHenry. Gerald J. Carey won out easily in the race for city treasurer, receiving 474 votes to his opponent's 98. Jack W. Worth was the other candidate for the office. Ray F. Conway, city clerk, who was out for re-election, had no opposition, and received 346 votes. John McEvoy, for police magistrate, polled 207 votes. He had no opponent. Peter J. Doherty. alderman first MAYOR-ELECT P. W. FRETT ward, had 78 votes cast for him; Herman J. Kreutzer, second ward, polled 126 votes, and Robert J. Frisby received 114 in the third ward. All were running without opposition. The $20,000 bond proposition was carried by vote of 378 to 146 against. This issue had to receive a majority of the votes cast and got by with 33 to spare. The proposition for a two mill tax for band purposes was lost, because it did not receive the necessary majority of the votes cast. The vote on this was 327 for and 197 against.

Nye, county chairman of troop organization spoke in regard to increasing the strength of the local troop. J. W. Worth, chairman of the local committee, then delivered the following address: "Your presence here tonight indicates that you are somewhat interested in this Boy Scout movement of ours. "The program that you have just witnessed is an exhibition of the fundamental work required of your boy in this troop. Please remember that it is just fundamental. Du^ to the fact that this troop was not organized until very late fall all of their studying has been done and meetings held indoors, whereas a large portion of the Scout program requires the out of doors to accomplish.

Of course this {s an objection caused by parental concern for the welfare of the boys. You may rest assured that when this troop leaves McHenry to be away overnight, it will be properly supervised by the Scoutmaster Mr. Lucas, and his assistants. Also tl|at one of the five adult members of the executive committee will arrange to spend the night in camp with the boys.

NEW BUILDING FOR GREEN STREET Contractors Begin Work on Structure For Richard B. Walsh Between Postoffice and Smith Bros. The vacant lot between the William Pries building and the T. J. Walsh building on Green street will be much improved by an attractive structure which will be built for Richard B. Walsh of Chicago.

This dusky-hued old lady proved to be such a tireless worker, always good-natured and ready to greet visitors, that Mr. Althoff decided to let her have a tub in one of his display windows of the hardware store. Since that time hundreds of people have stopped in front of the store to watch her from morning until vthe close of day. and sometimes she can be found rubbing awav at the washboard way into the night.

According to Pref. Henry J. Ccot the Chicago weather bureau, it was the strong winds from the nortli which saved this district from being included in the destructive storm area. We are unusually fortunate in this part of the state in escaping from the serious storms which rage around us and although there was a great dejl of damage done to property in this * "locality the commonly expressed opia~ ion is one of thankfulness that tha results were not of a more serious nature. A report from the insurance office of Simon Stoffel in this city statea that 106 losses had been reported before 10 o'clock Wednesday morning and more losses were continually being reported through the mail anjl £ otherwise. The damaged area seems to cover McHenry and Lake counties with losses being scattered in every direction. Many barns t were moved from their foundations, doors blown off and windows broken, chimneys blown down, roofs, taken off and she<H and smaller buildings completely blown jiown or overturned. Trees were uprooted and broken by the hundreds and many telephone poles are lying flat or partly broken and lines are out of order as a result of tl.e high wind. The new poles re»%: contly set by the Public Service Co* west of town, are all leaning badly, some at an angle of 45 degrees and ' the power and telephone service w^vh* dly crippled for a few hours. '» " The loss caused by this severe storm, which had all the ear marks of a tornado, will probably mount well. up into the thousands of-dollars. The country surrounding McHenry seemed to suffer more damage than did the city itself, although the roof on the Commun;ty high school was torn loose and the top was torn frost an auto parked at the school. The farmers south of town seemed to be the hardest hit, there being : tn ie prop' er*ty o•th' erwise i•m proved, and, | s.c arcel*y ,o ne that did not have son damage donen ,b y .th. e gal.e .

On the George Frie. beautified. city and territory well under way at an estimated cost of $600,000, the building pace since the first of January indicates that 1927 will establish a record for construction in the history of this city.
