Sisters from the St. Francis convent, Milwaukee, arrived here last Wednes­ day and will take up the work in St. Mary's parochial school. Irving F. Hand, of Lake Geneva, has been awarded the contract for building the new school building at Genoa Junc­ tion. His bid was $5,300. A locomotive left the track here last Thursday while switching and some hours were taken up in putting it back npon the rails. No damage was done. The types made us say last week that A. C. Spurling would like to secure a horse when he returned to McHenry It should have said house instead of horse. Hymans & Miller, the clothiers who have been occupying the Bonslett build­ ing the past month, pulled ap stakes and departed for greener fields last Sat­ urday. Arrangements will be made at the Universalist church next Sunday*for the annual Sunday, school picnic. Let all be present Mid take an interest in the matter. A goodly crowd attended the ice cream social at the home of Mrs. Chas. Lamphere last Friday evening. The grounds were lighted with Japanese lanterns and presented a pretty sight. In a ball game at the ^park last Son day the Juniors defeated a scrub team of local fame by a score of eleven to nine The team from Emerald Park did not put in its appearance. Why? Richard Walsh has given ap his posi­ tion in S. S. Chapell's store and will take a two weeks' vacation before schoo opens. Miss Stella Nordquist has taken his place behind the counter. The Lake County Fair will be held at Libertyville on September 3, 4, 5 and 6. It promises to be a hummer this year. Nearly |5,000 is offered in prem­ iums and purses. The Lake County Agricultural Society never does things by halves. Libertyville was visited by fire Sun­ day night. The Knight block, one of the best in the village, was badly dam­ aged and the building adjoining, in which was located the telephone ex­ change was gutted. Cause of fire un­ known. The merchants of Elgin are agitating the question of holding a street fair in that city during the second week in September. It will probably meet with hearty support and be held under the management of Hie M. W. A. lodges and Elgin band. The Marshall Field base ball team wishes to play a game with the home team on Saturday, Aug. 81. All they ask is the price of their suppers. We have no doubt but that this small sum can be raised and the game will be as­ sured. Something more definite will be said next week in regard to the matter. The bicycle raffle will take place at Geo. Sommer's hardware store on Sat­ urday evening. Mr. Sommers has been giving away tickets on the wheel with every fifteen cents worth of merchan­ dise purchased. You still have an op­ portunity to secure some of the tickets. Remember the fun on Saturday night. Those having tickets should be present The Y. P. C. U. will resume meetings at the Universalist church next Sunday evening. These meptings should be better attended than they have been in the past. It is the only Sunday evening service held in McHenry and everyone should take an interest in them. Al­ though it is termed a young people's meeting, the older folks are always wel­ comed. Services commence at seven o'clock.

Bead before the McHenry Township 8unday School Convention at Ringwood, August 11,1801, and published by re­ quest: Phillips Brooks once said: "He who helps a child helps humanity with a distinctness, with an innnediateness which no other help given to human creatures in any other stage of human life can possibly give agaiu. The Sunday school can most emphat­ ically be called the children's helper and he who advances the interests of the Sunday school is the friend of childhood. Therein he acquires a knowledge of God's own book from the lessons carefully selected and arranged by the best Bible scholars of the day. These lessons are taught by the best teachers obtainable. Myriads of chil­ dren, even in our own time, gain their first knowledge of their Creator and the higher life from the lips of their faith­ ful Sunday school teacher. In the heart of these--neglected ones--good seed is sown that springs up, and bears good fruit and they ate made better children and become better men and women as the result of this Christian help. My own connection with Sunday school work has not been constant, and it is hardly becoming in me to attempt to instruct or interest those much better informed in this matter than I can claim to be. Though my knowledge of the work is not what it should be, my belief in its importance is not lacking. No branch of Christ's church, however strong in numbers or Influence, can long retain its position or even its ex­ istence without earnest, intelligent prayerful attention to its Sunday school interests, for there is the nursery and training school for all church work. That training must not only be thor­ ough, systematic and continuous but it must be such as appeals to the mind and heart of the child or youth and to the sense of beauty and fitness in his nature. It must be such as will make God's service not a duty alone but a delight to the youthful mind. Then, as naturally as the flower unfolds in the sunshine, will his soul respond to the Master's command, "Go work in my vineyard." From such as these must the church recruit the great body of its working force, and fortunate in­ deed is that church that has not ne­ glected its opportunity. * • The nineteenth century Use been called the era of greatest progress In the history of the world. In all humanitar­ ian, educational and religious progress it is especially notable. It might well be called the children's era. Wonderful progress has been made in methods and facilities for developing and training the faculties of the fortunate children. Institutions for the use of the unfortun­ ate little ones have come into existence. Asylums, furnishing instruction and cure for the deaf, the blind, the crip­ pled, the feeble minded, the orphan and the foundling abound and the "least of these" has aid and ^opportunity accord- to his needs. It is well, perhaps, to mention some of th e beneficent organ­ izations that came into being In the century just ended. The nineteenth century saw the organization of the first Sunday School Union in London in 1803, in America in 1824, the Ameri­ can Board of foreign missions, 1810; first missionaries sent out iu 1811. American bible society organised 1816. Y. M. C. A. in London 1844. Salvation army 1865. W. C. T. U. in 1878. Christian Endeavor society in 1881 and many others that are doing Christ's work among us. The beginnings of ell were small and most of them met op­ position and discouragement. In a magazine article entitled "Wo­ men in 1800 and 1900" La4y Aberdeen says: "A hundred years ago even Han­ nah More thought teaching poor child­ ren to read would lift them out of their proper sphere." Again she 'says; When Hannah More wanted to hold her Sunday schooljunder an apple tree, hav­ ing been refused the use of a building, the occupier of the land begged her to go elsewhere for fear of her hymn-sing- ing blighting the tree." When we com­ pare the first statement with the spirit of our public school system of today, and the second with the Sunday school as it now exists, housed, nourished and sustained by the noblest men and wo­ men of our land we have an idea of the advancement made along these lines. As in all movements destined to live and bless humaniiy.the development of the Sunday school has been gradual. As the noble tree whose growth we hive watched from the tiny shoot a gentle breeze might break has grown in height, in breadth, in strength, in beauty, in grandeur until now it is able to defy the tempests rudest blast. So the growth of this most potent auxiliary of the church has gone forward gaining in power and favor year by year until it is so deeply rooted in the hearts of Christian people that nothing can dis­ place it. It is now recognised as an un­ told blessing to the children of every land and every race that have felt its influence. The Sunday school as well as the public school, is a great leveler. In both the children of rich and poor meet on common grounds and study to­ gether the lessons that will make them betfgr men and women, better fitted to WORK AT BODEN PLANT COMMENCED TO BOTTLE LAST MONDAY. MILK THE GRIM REAPER. HiePatrirk Flunky Paaaes Sunday, Aug. IS. A#*y,. an Kverythlnar About the Factory aa Heat aa Possible The Best That Krtr Happened for McHenry. The Borden Condensed Milk Co. com­ menced operations at their factory in this village on Monday with fair pros­ pects for a prosperous business. About 10,000 pounds of milk is now taken in and many new dairies will soon fall in line. About ten men are employed now, but as the quantity of milk increases more men will he required. The engine room is a model of neat­ ness, as is every room in the building, and is in charge of A. M. Brown. There are two large boilers, which are entirely covered with asbestos. All the steam pipes in the- building are also covered with this material. In the receiving room two men are stationed to receive and test the milk as it comes in. Two other men wash the milk cans and return them to the far­ mer before he leaves the platform. This is a great convenience for the dairymen and one of th^ features that will be ap­ preciated by the women. - The milk is strained several times be fore it gets into the bottling department and it would seem almost impossible for a particle of dirt to get into the bottles All the floors on the ground floor are either cement or steel, and being thoroughly drained, makes it impossible for dirt and sour milk to accumulate in cracks and corners. It may be truth­ fully stated that the factory here is one of tite most complete and substantial ever put up by the Borden Company. "Our New Department." it is the constant aim of the MoHenry Board of Education to keep in touch with the progressive advancea now be ing made in educational affairs; bat to succeed in making the school all that it ought to lie, and can be, it must have the assistance and hearty co-operation of the people directly interested. Those parents and guardians who wish to give their children aud wards a good practical academic education, will find that the McHenry Public Schools offer facilities quite as good as can be secured elsewhere for less than one tenth the cost. The two courses, as before des­ ignated,. are Latin and English; the former including all work required for application with our higher educa­ tional institutions, the latter having commercial work substituted for the Latin. Student i taking the Latin course will persue the prescribed course in Latin while those choosing the English will persue the commercial work instead of Latin. All other sub­ jects are common to each of the two courses. Knowing you to be familiar with the Latin course we wish here to call special attention to the English. This will include a thorough course in book-keeping, business, letter writing and arithmetic and commercial law as regards leases, contracts, forms etc., the course being so arranged as to fol­ low closely the "Learning by Doing" system. We appeal to a public that we are sure has always manifested a laudable generosity in educational mat­ ters, to give us their support and con­ fidence in this effort to help their chil­ dren and our students to secure both a thorough and practical education. In this way, and only in this way, you can assist in building up a "home" institu­ tion in our community, whose eleva­ ting and refining influences will be felt and acknowledged for generations to come. On Saturday afternoon, Aug. 31, we shall be glad to meet at the school building, any and all who desire to inquire more fully into our plan of work. We want all the boys and girls to meet us Monday morning Sept J and work with as every day during the en­ tire term.

Mrs. Patrick Flusky, better known to all her friends as Rora Flusky, died at her home on the Fairweather farm six miles southeast of town, on Sunday morning, August 18, at eleven o'clock. She has been in ill health for the past year, and about six weeks ago met with an accident which probably hastened her death. The funeral was held at St. Patrick's church on Tuesday morn­ ing at ten o'clock, Rev. Father O'Neil officiating. The remains were laid to rest in St. Patrick's cemetery. Mrs. Flusky came from Ireland to America with her husband about thirty years ago, and has resided in this neighborhood nearly all that time. She was about sixty-five years of age. Death of fhllo I>. Smith. Philo D. Smith, son of the late John W. Smith, of Ringwood, and brother of W. D. and S. D. Smith, died at Boul­ der, Colo., on Saturday, Aug. 17. Mr. Smith was well known to most of our readers, having resided in these parts many years. Freeman Whiting, W. E. and J. D. Smith left on Monday after noon for Lincoln, Neb., to attend the funeral. Ward B. Gale Dead. Ward Gale died at his home in Elgin Sunday, August 11, at four o'clock, after suffering two yerrs from abdomi nal troubles. He was born at Yolo, Lake county, June 32, 1858. He learned to be an expert machinist and xnolder and went to Chicago to work at his trade. He removed to Indianapolis a short time later. There he was mar­ ried. He lived in this village several years and has many friends here who remember him well as a man of gener­ ous disposition and exemplary habits. Nineteen years ago he went to Elgin. He found work in the dial room of the watch factory and later became a bal­ ance truer in the escape department OOM to N unda. It is with a feeling of regret that we announce the departure from this vil­ lage of Mr. and Mrs. John I. Story and daughter, Edna, Mr. Story having leased the Richmond House at Nunda. Mr. Storv is a valuable citizen and will be greatly missed by our townsmen. Mrs. Story's absence from McHenry society and church work will cause a vacancy that will be hard to fill Especially will the Willing Workers feel their loss, for she has always been one of the lsading wpiftteia thai etgi- ization. The Richmond House iB a new builjJ ing and has been fitted up with all the modern conveniences, and if any person can make a success of the place, John I. Story is the man. He conducted the Riverside House in this village for nine years and built up a reputation for the house that it still holds. Hes||psthe beat wishes of his friends. --r* . j , Harvest Dinaar. Henry Ericsson will give his annual harvest dinner at the Mineral Springs hotel on Sunday, August 25. Mr. Erics­ son never lets the cost interfere in get­ ting up an event of this kind and those attending will sit down to a table laden with all the good things that money can buy. The regular rates will be charged at the dinner and no more. The hotel is situated on one of the most beautiful spots along the shore, making it an ideal place to spend the day. The Plaindealer has just turned out some elegant menu cards for the occasion. , Soldier's and Sailors Reunion. The reunion of the soldiers and sail­ ors of Lake county takes place at Wau- conda on Tuesday and Wenesday, Au­ gust 27 and 28. Camp-fires, and ad­ dresses by Majors Estoner and Vail on the first day. On the 28th Capt. This- tlewood and Mr. Sine speak. There will be a ball game, races, etc., and plenty of sport in general. Camp-fire dance until twelve o'clock Tueeday night and on Wednesday night the regular Reunion Ball takes place. Short Crop of Cucumbers. Owing to the drouth this gammer the cucumber crop is very small, com­ pared with former years. Last year at this time the factory here had taken in over 9000 bushels, but at present only 650 bushels have been received. There is no doubt however but that many will come in later as in many cases a second planting was necessary, thns causing the delay. The vines that are just commencing to bear look healthy and may yield a good crop. Be Sure Vou Attend. The regular Camp Fire Dance to be given at Wauconda on Tuesday even­ ing next will be run till twelve o'clock and the reunion ball on Wednesday evening will be given on the same plat­ form and will run during the night. The music will be first class and the floor will be in better condition than be­ fore. Don't miss these dances as they will be the last of the kind 1*44 fcjiia year. The Band Coneert. It was demonstrated on Tuesday evening that the people of this village appreciate open air concerts given by the band, for a "large crowd of people were present The boys were at their best and discoursed some beautiful music. They will give -more concerts if lights are furnished, and there ia no doubt but that the village board would furnish them if the matter was pat before it in the regular buaineee way.

She alleges that then induced her to take a walk w$ti| him in the grove, and when they reached a secluded place made improper proposals, which she resisted, and that her assailant used such force in aoocnnk plishing his purpose that her doihee were nearly torn from her body. The girl's screams attracted the at­ tention of two children of Henry Hemk, who had been sent by their father to . ..v see that some lumber near the place ̂ was not molested, and they summoned :: other help. O'Connell then fled, while the girl was brought to Algoqfnia. Her face and clothes were bloody, ao4 she was apparently greatly frightened. O'Connell wes arrested on complaint of the girl's father, who is emploped in the bolt works at Carpentersvillek. ^ Marshall Andras made the arrest Tuee- ; , day, O'Connell being fonnd at wwrk" near Pgin.
