Miss Don Stoffel Kntertains a Number of ̂ Friends at Her Home. In response to cordial and neatly printed invitations a number of young people gathered at the home of Miss Dora Stoffel last Saturday evening and' assisted that estimable young lady in celebrating her birthday anniversary. The evening was passed pleasantly, everyone seeming to enjoy the event. It was what might be termed a propo­ sal party. The gentlemen were sup­ posed to propose to the ladiea, and if the lady was favorably impressed with the suitor and his solicitations she present­ ed him with a heart, or, if the suitor was rejected he received a mitten. Each lady was plentifully supplied with hearts and mittens cut from cloth. There was no end of merriment during the evening, and 'tis said some of the fellows were quite persistent in present­ ing their claims. L. E. Traver was turned down fifty-one times, having that number of mittens to his credit. Dick Walsh captured the longest string of hearts, thirty-two in all. Refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cakes and other delicacies, were served.

German Foresters Entertain at a Card Par­ ty and Banquet. Pursuant to invitations from the Ger­ man Foresters a large number of people attended a sociable held in Mat Weber's building, on the river, Tuesday evening. Only the Foresters and their families were in attendance and that they en joyed the event is an assured fact. Progressive cinch was the principal feature of the evening's entertainment, the first prize, a vase, being won by Matthias Niesen and the booby prize captured by Theodore Winkles. Math Weber and Math Niesen were tied for first prize, but a game of seyen-np set­ tled the draw in the latter's favor. At a late hour a banquet fit for a king was served, rhe table fairly groaning under the load of good things. A sim­ ilar party was enjoyed about three weeke ago, but the reporter did not hear of the event at the time. Will Oo to Hebron. Next Tuesday C. A. Guerin and wife will go to Hebron where the former will work in the factory which is now being constructed by the Borden Condensed Milk Co.

We can heartily recommend them to the good graces of Hebron society. Herman Kamholz will have charge of thecream- ery here for the present, ' Smith-Milier.

The bride is a daughter of John Miller, a prosperous farmer residiug about three miles north of Johnsbnrgh. The groom, a young man of sterling worth and integrity, is a son of Frank Smith of Johnsbnrgh. The Plaindealer extends congratula­ tions. Entertained Her Class. Mian Pearl Nellis, teacher in the Uni­ versalist Sunday school, entertained her clafs last Thursday eyening. All kinds of games, dear to the hearts of the young folks, were indulged in and tempting refreshments were served. Miss Nellis is well liked by the members of her class and they all enjoyed her hospitality. She contemplates enter­ taining her class once each month. It is safe to say that the members will not oitfect to the proposition. RUNS TRAIN INTO DITCH ENGINEER FAILS TO SEE DANGER SIGNAL IN TIME. Four Persons Injured and Many Others Hadly Frightened in Wreck at Desplalnes Tuesday. With a danger signal set on the track just ahead and another train speeding toward the railway crossing a few hun­ dred yards distant, the engineer of a Chicago & Northwestern passenger train failed to apply the brakes Tuesday afternoon until too late to avert a smash- up in which four persons were injured. The engine and two cars of the pass­ enger train, diverted from the track by an automatic cutoff which gave the oth­ er train the right of way, left the rails and plunged into a ditch, where they rolled over on their sides. All of the cars were crowded and there was a wild scramble among the passengers. The accident occurred shortly after five o'clock at the crossing of the Wis­ consin Central and the Northwestern at Desplaines. THE INJURED, Clark, E<«|C., Woodstock, 111.; bruised about snoulderB and knees; taken home on following train. ^ Hoy, LumanT., Woodstock, III.;bruised about the body; taken home on fol­ lowing train. Trowbridge, Mrs. Anna, fiarvard, 111.; ankle sprained and hands injured; taken home on following train. Wright, Adelbert, Woodstock, 111.; son of A S. Wright; thrown through a car window; hands cut and bruised about body; taken home on later train. The train left the WellB street station. Chicago, at 4:25 o'clock, and was de­ layed by the block signals nntil at Des­ plaines street it was seventeen minutes late. The train was composed of loco- motiye, combination baggage and smok­ ing car, a day coach and a parlor car. As the train neared Desplaines, six-, teen miles from Chicago, the engineer, William Selleck, glanced at the first signal and says that it showed a clear track. Without reducing the train's speed he whistled for the crossing and the next instant saw the danger signal was set to allow a Wisconsin Central milk train to pass. Selleck applied the airbrake, but too late, and the train left the track at the point where the rails are deflected by the automatic device in the switch tow­ er. Plowing along for a few yards, the engine, combination car and day ccach careened and fell in the ditch on their Bides. The passengers, most of them badly shaken up and all of them frightened, climbed to the upper side of the over­ turned coaches and crawled through the windows. Adelbert Wright was standing in the aisle when the crash came and was thrown through a win­ dow. A number of women and child­ ren were lifted from the cars and after the excitement had subsided an investi­ gation showed that only four persons had been seriously injured. Physicians from Desplaines hurried to the scene of the wreck and volunteered their servic­ es. Mr. Wright was taken to Des­ plaines, where his injuries were dressed. The engineer of the Wisconsin Cen­ tral milk train, who bad been given the right of way by the tower man, saw that the Northwestern engineer had misunderstood the signal, and, applying the brake to his own train, stopped it a few feet from the crossing. John Ditch, the tower man, declares that the signals were set properly. He thought the Northwestern train was slowing up, he says, until he saw the engine roll over into the ditch. The collision between the two trains would have been impossible at the cross­ ing, it is said. The rails on one of the tracks are deflected all the time, so that any train that fails to obey the signals must leave the tracks before reaching the crossing. Luman T. Hoy, secretary of the state board of pharmacy, was one of the pass­ engers on the wrecked train. Like most of the others, he proceeded on the next train to his home in Woodstock. "It was one of the most startling ex­ periences of my life," Mr. Wright said. "The first we knew the brakes were ap­ plied with a foroe that brought us to our feet, and then the train began bumping along the ties." School Notes.

Mr. Nleholans Bohr and Mrs. Magdalene Schaefer Exchange Vows. Mr. Nicholaus Bohr and Mrs. Magda­ lene Schaefer were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock at St Mary's church Thursday morning, November 6, at nine o'clock, Rev. M. W. Barth officiating. The groom's attendiants were Geo. Bohr and Joseph Buch and the bride was at­ tended by Mrs. John J. Buch and Mrs. T. W. Winkles. ° Before the ceremony the bride and groom had furnished the Merriman house, facing the park, where they will reside, and there the wedding breakfast was served to a large number of friends. The table was laden with delectable viands and was beautifully decorated with carnations and American beauty roses. The bride is too well known to Mc­ Henry people to need an introduction, being a sister of our esteemed towns­ man, John J. Buch. The groom came to McHenry from Chicago about eighteen months ago. He is a mason by trade and is an expert at the business. For the present Mr. and Mrs. Bohr will occupy the Merriman house, but ex­ pect to build a house of their own soon.

Mrs. Henry Wegener died Monday evening of this week at 9:80 o'clock, at her home near Lily Lake, after a short illness. About ten days ago she con­ tracted a cold, but no serious symptoms developed until near eight o'clock Mon­ day evening when she was taken with a fit of coughing which resulted in apoplexy. Help was at once summoned, but she died' before the doctor arrived. The news of her death was a severe shock to the relatives and neighbors, who could scarcely believe that Mrs. Wegener had gone to the great beyond. Elizabeth Wegener was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Uphoff, well known settlers in this yicinity. Mrs. Wegener had resided near Lily Lake nearly all her life and since her marriage bad lived on the farm where she died. Besides her husband there are two sons and three daughters surviving as fol­ lows: Ben, George, Mrs. Katie Ettin, Mrs. Mary Huntel and Annie; the latter living at home. The funeral will be held Friday morn­ ing at the Catholic churoh in Volo, Rev. Fr. Thiel to officiate. The GREAT COMBINATION.
