A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT. Meftnnry l'l«n»ure Club Greeted L.*r>je Audience KMturdny Night. by Despite tfie disagreeable weather Fri­ day evening a fair sized audience greet­ ed the McHenry Pleasure club in min­ strelsy at the opera house. On Satur­ day evening, altho the weatber was any­ thing but good, the hall was packed, ev­ ery reserved seat being sold, 140 in all, and all other chairs filled. A large num­ ber were compelled to stand. Had the weather been at all pleasant and the roads good, it is doubtful if the crowd could have been cared for. The Plaindealer predicted that the people would be given a rare treat, and there was no mistake made, judging from the expressions of music critics and lovers of geniune fnn. On Satur day evening nearly every number was encored. During the presentation of the farces the audience was kept in an uproar. F. C. Going and N. H. Petesch, as tambo and bones, and as the fan makers in the farces, were at their best. Every person taking part in the pro­ gram was "onto bis job." Miss Rosa Jnsten and Mr. Hapke furnished excel­ lent music. Frank Van Tesner of Chi­ cago entertained the audience- with a few selections on the piano. The entire performance was clean, there being no objectionable features, whatever, and if nothing more was gained it proved to the few skeptical people that the McHenry Pleasure club is made up op of a lot of pretty good fellows. The club did intend to repeat the per­ formance on Saturday evening of this week, but has decided to give up the idea. ^ Obituary, John Krause was born in Chris, Ger­ many, November 12, 1843, and died in McHenry, 111 , April 6, 1904.

If the legislators who voted for the •shameful fish law which is<now in force, and the sportsmen who were instru mental in framing the law, would take a trip thru the lake regions now they could see the result of their foolish and inconsistent act. The law prohibiting fishing thm the ice was passed by a lot of legislators, many of whom did not know a black bass from an ordinary snail, and kqew as much about the con­ ditions at the lakes as a hog knows about war. Those who did know and voted for the .bill certainly did uot take time to weigh the matter. And this law is placed under this head: "Pro­ tection of Game and Fish." Such a farce! Had the law been headed "For the Destruction of Fish"' there would have been some consistency in the ex­ pression. Had si 11 the farmers in the vicinity of the lakes, aud the village people as well, fished thru the ice all winter they could not have caught one- hundredth part of the black bass anrt >ther game fish which now lie dead aloug the shores. There is a wagon load of sun fish, etc., about the shores of th* mill pond in this village, while at the small lakes where no ice houses are lo cated and the ice was not cut, are shamefnl sights. Enough black bass to supply the county for a year are dead. Fish must have air, but the lakes have been frozen over so long that suffoca­ tion resulted. IQ this game law foe> "protection" not a word is said prohib­ iting fishing in the spawning season. Of cou^e not, for that is the season in which the city sportsman comes oat for bis recreation. Here is the whole thing in a nnt shell: Mr. City Man comes out in the spring, under the protection of His Majesty, the Law, and casts his bait into the water. He pulls out a beautiful black bass, weighing, say, four pounds, and winks at his protector. In reality, the bass weighs only three and one half pounds, the other half being spawn, the embryo, perhaps, of 10,000 fish. He may land half a dozen like the first, and thru it all His Majesty says it is all right, and gives this man authority to destroy 60,000 fish in one day. But a few months before this a farmer goes out on the lake, cuts a hole thru the ice and pulls out enough pickerel and bass for his dinner. He is caught in the act by His Majesty's agent, the game warden, and pays a fine. The latter fisherman has opened the ice, saving the lives of thousands of fish and is punished for thf act, while the former destroys thousands and the law sayB "do it some more." What are we going to do about it T If each community would petition its representatives in the legislature a change might be brought about. » A BUSY SUMMER. EXAMINE SEED CORN.

From present indications McHenry will enjoy a building boom this sum­ mer, several houses now being under way. Peter and Frank Rothermel have each broken ground and will build cottages north of their father s residence on Ri ver street. The foundation for a cottage farther north on the same street is nearly finished, being put up by Mr. Newman of Chicago, Mrs. Anton Schneider's father. Peter Doherty &ill bnild a modern house and barn on the corner lots re­ cently purchased of the Kearjis' estate, directly south of Father O'Neill's resi­ dence, on Green street. The house, for which excavation has already been made, will occupy the lot whereon stood the old "eyesore" for so many years. The foundation will be built of Joliet stoue. ~ ' Another Nurpr|»e. Miss Anna Winkels of Chicago, who is the guest of Miss Katie Freund, was surprised at the latter's home on Mon­ day evening of this week, sbout twenty- five young people being in the invading party. Cinch and the fascinating game of flinch were the games in which the young people indulged, nntil the we' sma' hours of the morning. Dainty re­ freshment.1- W6i*e served. „ There have been few times in the his­ tory of Indiana when it was more im­ portant for the farmer to thoroughly examine his seed corn than it is this year, says A. T. Wianks in Farm, Field and Fireside. Owing to the unfavor­ able climatic conditions which prevailed throughout the state last autumn the problem of securing good seed corn tor this year's planting is going to be an unusually difficult one* Much of the coru which appeared to be in fair con dition when stored is now nnfit for planting. There was comparatively little really mature corn to begin with and very little of it was dry enough escape injury when the first heavy frosts occurred. As a result there great danger of much worthless seed corn finding its way into the corn plant er The writer has bad occasion, dur ing the past three months, to exam ine many fine looking samples of corn in various sections of the state and many of the ears were found to be unfit for seed. Not a single ear that was intended for seed shonid be allowed to pass with out a perfect examination. To make proper examination of yonr seed corn lay all the ears out in rows where yon CAU get at them comfortably. Take few scatterng kernels out of each ear and examine the germs aarefnlly. Many ears which, for the moist part are sound, will be found to have little raised or swollen places where the germs are likely to be injured, so be careful to loo \ out for these. Discard all doubt ful ears. Then take five scattering kernels from each of the ears which appear to be sound and make a germination test. Make a separate test of each ten ears, A convenient method for making a germination test is to take an empty cigar box and a double piece of soft newspaper about the size of the box for each lot of fifty kernels to be tested. Moisten one of the papers, put the fifty kernels upon the middle of it, fold it from both ends as you would a letter, and place it into the cigar box. As many of these packages as the box will hold may be put into it in this way When the box is full close it and set it into a warm- room, but away from the stove. Open the box every two or three days and sprinkle in a little water, if necessary, to keep papers moist. At the end of five or six days take che papers out and couut the kernels that have ger­ minated. Forty-five to forty-eight ker­ nels out of each fifty should have ger­ minated. Where this is not the case, again examine the ten ears from which the kernels came and try to detect the faulty ears and discard them. If your seed corn is already shelled take several lots of fifty kernels from different por­ tions of each sack for the germination test. Do not begrudge the time it will take to do this work. Do it right away. It will surely pay you. A few hours or a day spent in this way may make you several more bushels of corn per acre.

Chas. Lamphere, Mrs. W. D. Went- worth and Mrs. Fuller and children 6f Waneonda were principals in a bad smash-up and runaway Sunday even­ ing, and only kiy the intervention of Providence was no one seriously in­ jured, a few slight braises being the only damage done the occupants of the carriage. Mr. Lamphere and his party were re­ turning from Waneonda Sunday even­ ing, when it was darker than a black cat, and when crossing the mill race bridge in this village, with the horses going at a good swinging gait, they were met by a Woodstock rig, the front, wheels of Lamphere s rig interlocking with the rear wheels of the other. There was naturally a sudden stop, Mr. Lamphere and Mrs. Wentworth being thrown to the ground and dragged thru the mud a considerable distance. With Mrs. Fuller and tbe.children in the rear seat, perfectly helpless, the team then ran as far as the railway tracks, circled about some freight cars standing there and then made for the livery stable, where a telephone pole put an end to the race. One can easily imagine the horrible feeling that had possession of Mrs. Fnller and her children, being whirled about corners in such a manner in the darkness, with no one at hand to help or heed their cries. Both carriages were badly demolished^ the Woodstock men being compelled to hire another rig to carry them home. WED IN CHICAGO. L O C A L B R I E F S Batter Market.
