Kt*mCUn«d from The Plalndealer May 5, 1880. of The Scott family are now rehearsing and will bring out in this village, in about three weeks, the celebrated opera of the "Haymakers." The girl puzzle is the latest. It con­ sists in putting an average girl before a ribbon counter in a dry goods store and having her find the particular shade she is after. The advance agents for Sprague's cir­ cus have put up their mammoth posters in'orming the public that they will ex­ hibit in McHenry on Thursday of next week, May 18. The steamer ""'Mary Griswold" made her first trip Monday, and her n$w machinery worked to a charm. She will undoubtedly commence making regular trips next week. Counterfeit silver half dollars are floating around promiscuously. They are of the date of 1857, 1875 and 1877, and may be detected by a flaw under the talons of the eagle and an imper­ fection in the letter "1" in tfee word "half." Fred Schnorr has removed the build­ ing formerly used by him as a shoe shop, near the Methodist parsonage, to the rear of the house occupied by Dr. An­ derson, which he will finish off as an addition to that house. It is a great improvement to the house and will also much improve the appearance of the street in that locality. v Geo. W. Besley is improving the ap­ pearance in front of his drug store by building a handsome picket fence on the east and west sides, and he also in­ forms us that his store will also be im­ proved by the addition of new show windows, four large lights of glass tak­ ing the place of the many small ones now to be seen there. It will add great­ ly to the appearance of his store. The people of McHenry are assured of an entertainment of unusual merit on Friday Dight at the opera house. The Charlevoix Dramatic club is an or­ ganization of amateurs, but they have worked together for several years and thtir plays are produced with more careful attention to details than most professional companies, they have re­ ceived the highest praise for theirepro­ ductions given at their home stage at the Charlevoix club.

The new bridge over Coon creek in Riley township will be built by the Jol- iet Bridge Co. for $975. The coinmittee secured a reduction of about, fifty per cent from the figures first made.

Besley. No doubt many will be surprised to learn that the Muehrcke House at Fox Lake is again open and ready for busi­ ness, and is ready-to accommodate the usual rnsh of summer boarders. Otto Muehrcke is in charge and announces 4 that the hotel is open for the season. One exchange thinks that merchants should be more, prompt in presenting their accounts. A druggist in one place sent a young man a bill two years old. The first part of the bill had a charge for a box of chocolates. At |he other end was a charge foT one nursing bottle. How time does fly 1 Postmasters are being instructed that full postage must be collected in the fut­ ure. ' In the past when a letter was dropped into an office on which postage bad not been paid, it was forwarded and the postage aue was collected at the destination. This makes consider­ able extra work for the carriers and especially those on rural routes. Harvard Herald: Capron voted in favor of license at the last village elec­ tion, but parties who wish to open sa­ loons there find it impossible to rent buildings for saloon purposes. The owners of the buildings that were for­ merly used for saloons are willing to dis­ pose of buildings for saloon purposes, but they are not willing to lease. The Charlevoix club dramatic corps has arranged to produce Wynn Miller's delightful little sketch, "Dream Faces," which was a favorite of Forbes Robert­ son and his London Stock Co. The cast is as follows: Robert, Ray Hammond; Margaret, Mrs. Mabel Andrews: Phillip, Eastman Burrows; Lucy, Miss Bessie Boardman; servant, Mrs. Burrows. A long-headed farmer tied an empty beer bottle to a fence post along the railroad track. Every time a coal train passes that way the brakeman shies a lump of coal at the bottle, and all win­ ter long, while the rest of the world has wrestled with costly coal, this sage ru- ralist has plenty of imported fuel simply at the cost of harvesting it around that unoffending post. The bill at the opera house Friday night includes the roaring vaudeville sketch "A Touching Story" given by Miss Daise Thorn, a talented vocalist, assisted by Mr. Spingold, Mr. Flavelle and Mr. Ballou, The piece is a bright little sketch with plenty of good music, dances, etc., and is a sure winner. McHenry will be whistling the popnlar music after they have seen this show. Libertyville Independent: Horses for training are steadily arriving at the Trotting association track and now there are nearly 80 in the stables and two more strings are expected in the course of a few days. Dick McMann of Chi cago, who was expected last week, did not arrive with his stables, but will be here in a short time. The Fenmore stable which is comprised of eight hors­ es will also enter training within the course of a week. C. W. Bogart of Col­ orado Springs, with his fine black mare, Golddust Maid, 2:12i, is one of the new­ est arrivals. J. W. Swansbrough has the largest bunch on the grounds, hav­ ing twenty in all.

Don't growl, grunt or grumble. Say a good word for him and let him go at that. Don't be a kicker; your turn will come. No one ia a whole show. If you see the town is moving along rapid­ ly feel proud of it. Help thingfc along. Try and get some of the benefit your­ self. Do a little hustling around and if you can say a good word for the town or its people, say it like a prince. If you are full of bile and disposed to say something mean, put a padloca on your mouth and leave it there until you can get a hypodermic injection of the milk of human kindness. Don't be a kicker. No man ever made a dollar by kicking except a professional football player. No man ever helped himself permanent­ ly by kicking his neighbor down. Give others a kind word and give it freely and liberally. It won't cost you a pen­ ny and remember, you may want a good word some day. You may be flush to­ day and tomorrow be without the price of a shave. Don't be a kicker; you c;in't afford it. If you want to throw some­ thing at someone throw cologne, and don't throw mnd and brickbats. If you feel tfcat way you are the man that needs kicking. Don't even have an acute at­ tack. Let everybody push together, and we'll all be better and happier and live longer. Don't be a kicker. AM17SKMKKTS. Central opera house, Sunday evening, May 7, 1905.

The baseball season was opened.ip McHenry last Sunday afternoon, when the locals met defeat at the hands of the husky White Sox of the county seat. The day was quite cool, but neverthe­ less about one hundred and fifty people turned out to witness the contest, and everyone expressed themselves as well pleased with the showing made in the opening game. The Woodstock team formerly went bv the nahie of "Brew^ ery Streets," but has changed the name to "White Sox." This is the team that defeated McHenry three times last season. Sunday's game gave evi­ dence that the hoodoo had not been, ef­ faced during the winter, and that it is still hanging over the grounds. As can be seen by the official score, errors on the :>art of the locals gave the game to the visiting team, as they near­ ly all were made at the critical stages of the game. McHenry outbatted their opponents, but the hits could not be bnnchrd enough to fatten the score. John Thurlwell pitched for the locals and was in fine form, considering the earliness of the season, strikiugout nine batters, allowing but four hits aud giv­ ing no free passes to fiist. The follow­ ing table tells the story of the game in detail: THE SCORE A. B. R H t i 5 4 VIEW BLOCK. Henr^ BrefeUi Buys Lot of Math. Heimer Will Bnild.

McCollum passed home near Ridgefield last MISS KANALY la BronKbt Here from Butte, Montana, for Burial. On Saturday, April 22, a telegram was received announcing the death of Miss Maria Kanaly. She was the oldest daughter of Mr. Wm. Kanaly of this place, and lived here and in Chicago all her life, nntil two years ago, when she went to Butte, Montana, where she has resided up to the time of her death. Death came as a result of pneumonia. The remains reached McHenry Monday morning, May J, and a long procession of relatives and friends followed the remains to St. Patrick's church, where high mass was celebrated by Rev. P. M. O'Neill, and ahe wan laid to rest beside her mother. Two sisters and a brother are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving sis­ ter; they are Mrs. Ellen Briggs of Chi­ cago, Mrs. Ed Sutton of South Dakota and Mike Kanaly of Chicago. Booth Tarkingtou as an Aeronaut. The story comes from Paris, where Booth Tarkington, author of "In the Arena," spent a good part of last year, that while there he became interested in aeronautics. The captive balloons in the vicinity of the Eiffel tower, it is said, so caught his fancy in the early part of his stay there that he made ascent after as­ cent, growing more infatuated with each experience. The fad, however, just missed resulting disastrously, for, after having become an experienced balloonist Mr. Tarkington resolved to do a little more than the common thing, and de­ cided upon a little luncheon in midair. The collation was prepared and every­ thing ready for the entertainment, when an important guest found it impossible to be present, and it was decided to postpone the affair until another day. Very luckily, too, for the baloon in which they were to have made their as­ cent broke from its moorings and drift­ ed far afield, giving the people who had taken the place of Mr. Tarkington's party a terribly rough experience be­ fore it landed them on terra firina. fo Whom It May Concern. Attention is respectfully directed to one of the ordinances governing the vil­ lage of McHenry, as follows: "Chapter XXII, Section 7. No person shall keep open a saloon later than 10:00 o'clock p. m., nor earlier than 5:00 o'clock a. m., during the months of October, Novem­ ber, December, January, February, March and Arpil, and not later than 11:00 o'clock nor earlier than 5:00 a. m., during the months of May, June, J^|y> August and September, unless by special permit of the board, and shall not keep open on Sundays, under penalty of not less than $8.00 nor more than $50.00 for each offense." In pursuance of the foregoing all parties interested are here­ by notified and requested to govern themselves accordingly. , _ JOHN EVANSON, President of Village Board. Advertised Letters.
