The State conference in the interests of rural schools will be held at the Uni­ versity of Illinois, Urbana, June 26 30, 1905. This gathering is the first of its kind ever held iu our state--the first en­ deavor to bring together the directors of rural schools from all sections of our great commonwealth. It should be a notable gathering. # .The school directors of Illinois are by law en trusted with most noble duties. They not only have legal charge of the schools but they are expected to be act­ ive in moulding and directing public sentiment as touching educational mat­ ters and in leading and inspiring public thought in this field. At present there is in Illinois a clear demand for the im­ provement of rural school conditions and the conference is called, that direct­ ors, teachers and superintendents may by discussion and interchange of opin­ ion arrive at conclusions that will lie of practical benefit. The boys and girls in our rural schools are entitled to the best that we can af­ ford to give them. , Can we not improve the schools without increasing their cost? Can we not inake them more at­ tractive? Can we not make them more useful to farm life? The scholars in hundreds of our rural schools are few in number. Shall we consolidate such dis­ tricts? These are some of the questions pressing for solution. Come to the con­ ference and both hear the discussions and take part in them. Help the move­ ment;. Encourage your teacher to attend the conference with yon, or, if you cannot come, send yonr teacher to represent you. * An excellent program has been pre­ pared, and in it the endeavor has been made to secure speakers who have not only a theoretical but also a practical knowledge of the topics Considered. Please note the following: State Super­ intendent Bayliss; Superintendent Kern of Winnebago county; President Lord of the Eastern Normal school; Dean Davenport of the College of Agricult­ ure, University of Illinois; Superintend­ ent Clark of Ashtabnla (jouuty, Ohio; Mr. Kendall, instructor in manual train­ ing, La Salle high school; Professor Whitten, from the Agricultural College of Missouri-, Professor J. M. White, of the department of agriculture, Univer­ sity of Illinois; and Miss Ida M. Pear­ son, instructor in household science. University of Illinois. Come and hear them. They will be halpful. The conference also offers ah admir­ able opportunity to become acquainted with the State University. Come and see what it is doing. You will be inter­ ested in it for your children's sake. It belongs to the people of Illinois; its work and development should be your greatest pride. A fare of one and one-third round trip from all points in Illinois-reached by the lines of the Central Passenger asso­ ciation has been secured, provided: one hundred attend the conference. We trust that number will be largely ex­ ceeded. Pay full lare to Champaign or Urbana and take a receipt from the lo­ cal ticket agent. This will entitle you to one-third fare returning. This spe­ cial rate is good to your friends as well as to yon. . Tickets on sale June 23 to 20 inclusive, good'returning to and includ­ ing July 4. . Buys Ten Lot*. Chas. G. Frett has puschased ten lots of A. L. Howe, situated on the west bank of the Fox river a short distance north of town, on which he intends to erect Several cottages during the next few years. Mr. Frett will eiect two cottages this year, which will be ready for occupancy before the 1906 season opens. * The land is the best for summer resorts hat can be found anywhere along the beautiful Fox; and this is say­ ing a great deal, as there are number­ less ideal spots along this beautiful stream. This is only the nucleous of that which is to come later if present plans materialize. McHenry and the beautiful Pistakee are fast becoming popular throughout the state as the most desirable summer resorts in this section and before many years we ex­ pect to see one of the largest and best summer resorts here to be found any­ where , y .

At eight o'clock last Saturday even­ ing, at the home of Mrs. Emma Phillips, occurred a beautiful home wedding, the principals being Mr. Harry F. Eldredge PIID Miss Pearl J. Morgan. TUB cere­ mony, which was performed by Rev. A. Roberts of the Universalis church, was most beautiful and impressive. Promptly at eight the bridal couple, attended by Miss Oassie Eldredge, sister of the groom, and Mr, Albert Morgan, of Chicago, brother Of the bride, to the strains of a beautiful wedding march, entered the parlor, where the sacred words were spoken. The room was very prettily decorated with peonies, making the scene a most artistic one. The bride was given away by her brother. Im­ mediately after the ceremony the bridal party, with the assembled guests, were served with dainty refreshments. The young couple left the same even­ ing amid a shower of rice for * short wedding trip. •"' The bride is a handsome young lady, who has made Chicago her home for the past several years, where she has made scores of friends and is held in high es­ teem by all who know her. She is also well known in McHenry, having been a frequent visitor at the home of Mrs. Phillips during the past few yeiars. She possesses a kiud and loving disposition, and has won the admiration of a large number of our people. The groom is the son of C< T, Eldredge of this village. He is looked upon by our people as one of our best young men, being popular among the older residents as well as the younger people. He has made McHenry his home nearly all his life. He is a valued employe of the Borden Milk company, being sta­ tioned at Auburn, Washington, where the >'oung couple will make their future home. Mr. Eldredge will leave for that point about the twentieth of this month. His wife will not go to Washington un­ til fall. Congratulations.

Spencer, of Chicago. Miss Bes­ sie Morgan of Wilmington, Illinois, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Eldredge of Algonquin, and Fred Eldredge of Chicago Heights. PASSOW'S BODY FOUND. tempted to Found Deadr" '"Mi T?he body of Del Dassow, who on Sun­ day evening, June 4, shot his rival, Chas. Peet, and former sweetheart, Mies Lena Harrison, was found last Thursday in Nippersink creek, about one mile from the spot where the shooting occurred.. When found the body was tied to a tree on the bank of the creek by means of a long rope, and was weighted with several large rocks fastened around the neck. A bullet hole in the right temple leads ns to the conclusion that Dassow, thin.king his victims dead, coolly pre­ pared the weights and rope to keep his body lrom rising and floating away and committed suicide by shooting himself. Photographing Children. Children, although often hard to manage, mostly make ^charming pict­ ures, inasmuch as they are not aware of being taken and easily assume an un­ concerned pofce or expression. By sim­ ply showing them a little toy they will smile, and by the use of the instant­ aneous process the animated expression, smile and all are recorded in the wink of aa eye* to th" heart'* ^@light«£ rela y*ED AT ST. MARY'S. Mr. I>eaia Wolff of Chicago Takes Xe- Henry Girl aa Bride. tives. With nerveous children it will be well not to arouse their suspicians by talking to tbem of your intention to have them taken. They may have had some disagreable -experience with the doctor, and if this is the case there is sure to be trouble. Also never threat­ en a child when it does not want to sit and never coax it with pennies or candy. Just allow the photographer to manage; he will suggest whatever assistance you may be able to lend if it is required. Avoid dash or gaudy colors; dress them in white or something light and bring them in the forenoon. Hille's photo studio, McHenry, 111., best equipped gallery in the county.

M. W, Barth, pastor of the church. ; - To th« fltraiog <*f & beautiful wedding march the bridal couple, attended by Mi sses Josephine Wolff and Mary Weber and Messrs. Jacob Miller and Chas. Wolff, marched to the altar, where the words were spoken that united them as man and wife. The bride and her at­ tendants wore beautiful gowns of white and the groom was attired in the con­ ventional black. High mass was cele­ brated. At the close of the ceremony the yonng couple, accompanied by the close relatives, gathered at the home of the bride's father, where an excellent wed­ ding breakfast was awaiting them. The bride is the daughter of Mr. Nick Weber, who resides just east of the riv­ er on the Pistakee Bay road. She is too well knownin McHenry and the sur­ rounding community to need introduc­ tion, and we wish to say that Mr. Wolff has chosen wisely in the selection of a partner in these earthly struggles. She is an excellent young woman and has friends by the score in and around McHenry.* She is fully qualified to take up the duties of a housewife, being well prepared to cope with the many duties that her position presents. Mr. Wolff, although a native of Chi­ cago, is quite widely known in McHen­ ry, having been a quite frequent visitor here in the past several years. He has made numberless friends among our people, and his industrious and arnbi tious nature everywhere wins him re­ spect. He is at presetft holding a fine position in the Union Stock Yards in Chicago. The young couple left for Chicago on the Sunday evening train, amid a show­ er of rice, at which place they will make their future home. The Plaindealer joins the many relatives and friends in extending congratulations. UuiversaliMt Churah. v- Rev. A. Roberts, pastor.

REWARD. . > ^Cranjrer Pauses Away "at HI* Home In this Village on Saturday Morn- IDK-WW One of McHenry County's Best Citizens. . Last Saturday morning about six o'clock there passed from this life to his heavenly reward, a man who has, by his good deeds, won the respect and es­ teem of every citizen in McHenry. This kind old man was Hon. Flavel K. Gran­ ger. Not only was he known and re­ spected here alone, but throughout Mc­ Henry county, and we can truthfully say that he has been looked upon as one of onr leaders in the entire state of Illi­ nois, , The deceased was born in Wayne county, New York, on. May 16, 1833. He passed his boyhood days upon a farm, attending the public schools of Sodns, N. Y., nntil fifteen years of age. He then attended an academy for two years, after which he was a student in the Wesleyan seminary at Lima, N. Y. At the age of eighteen he engaged in school teaching, which he followed for three terms. In the spring of 1853 be came West and immediately began the study of law in the office of Smith and Wil­ liams at Waukegan, 111. In the fall of 1855 he was admitted to the bar. On account of poor health and to obtain out-door exercise he came to McHenry, and engaged in stock buying and grain raising. This he conducted very suc­ cessfully for a number of years, although at no time neglecting his study of law. His law practice has always been quite extensive and most successful. In 1870 Mr. Granger was chosen supervisor of the town of McHenry, being the first Republican ever elected to that office. He was twice re-elected to that position. In the fall of 1872 the Republicans of McHenry and Lake counties elected him their representative to the legislature. To this office he was re-elected three times withont opposition. During the last two terms he was speaker of the house, having the honor of being the first to preside in the new state capitol building. His course while speaker was such as to win the highest enoonintns of the press and the people. From many tributes we select the following, Shirts, daughter of Henry and Thurza Shirts, natives of Sodns, N. Y. To this union were born three children, namely, Ada (Mrs. Geo. Smith), who now re­ sides at Elgin; Almon C., of Chicago and Charles H., the last named having preceded him to the great beyond on August 15, 1902. Mrs, Granger died on April 27, 1828, at the age of twenty- eight years. Oh December 2, 1868 Mr. Granger was united in marriage to Miss Frankie E. Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Franklin Brown, natives of New York. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn the death of ao kind a husband and father: Besides those mentioned above the children are; Edwin Parsons, Mary Mabel and Marguerite. The funeral services were held at the home Monday morning at eleven o'clock. Rev. A. Roberts performed the last sad rites. Judge C. H. Donnelly of Wood­ stock was present and delivered a sym­ pathetic and appropriate oration. • mixed quartet, composed of Mesdames J. J. Reser and W. F. Gallaher and Messrs. J. D. Lodtz and C. G. Frett, rendered a number of beautiful selec­ tions which were most appropriate. The floral offerings were many and beauti­ ful. The funeral was attended by m large number of sorrowing friends, rela­ tives and acquaintances who had gath­ ered to pay their last tribute to a man who had done so much for the entire community. A large number of Wood­ stock people were hqre aa well as people from every neighboring city. Inter­ ment took place in Woodland cemetery CARD OF THANKS. . The Granger family wish, through the columns of The Plaindealer, to ex­ tend their most heartfelt thanks to the many kind relatives, friends and neigh­ bors who so willingly lent their aid and Bhowed their sympathy during their re­ cent bereavement. Especially do they wish to thank the quartet for their kind assistance, and also the donors of the many beautiful floral offerings.

Never has a political meeting, or any other kind of public meeting, been held in McHenry, but Mr. Granger has taken an active part therein, always using his best judg­ ment for the interests of his people. By his fair and fearless dealings in all mat­ ters he has won the esteem and respect of everyone. Never was he called upon to perform at a public gathering but that he responded willingly, always performing his dttties in a perfectly sat­ isfactory manner. In short, during his entire residence here, Mr. Granger has always been an active factor in our public history. Returning to the nar­ ration of his political career we would not fail to make note of the fact that he was elected Senator in 1896, and in that capacity served his country-and state in a most creditable manner dnring the term be held that position. from an editorial in the Sunday Tele­ graph of Chicago, of May 11, 1879: "Mr. Granger, who is now in his fourth term, keeps a better run of the business in the house and knows better how to avail himself of the rules than any other member. He is well posted on every question of legislation; as a speak­ er be is easy and clear in his statements, always commanding the attention of his unruly audience." On Jan uary 18, 1859, Mr. Granger was united In marriage to MM Fannie present to take part in th* evening's festivities. The spacious parlors w«re thrown open to the guests and Landlord Inness made all most heartily welcome. A good program was rendered in the par­ lors, after which the company repaired to the basement dining room, where the hostess, Mrs. Inness, had the following most excellent dinner them: O Sliced tomato on lettuce ̂. v with m^ydnuluse BeefBoullion Salted Long Branch Crackers Fried Spring Chicken with New Peas. Mashed Potatoes Asparagus Tips in Drawn Butter Nfcw*York Ice Cream Fancy Cakes Tea Coffee Pickles The members of the alumni have tak­ en an nnnsual interest in their good work during the past year, and this they should do. As meetings of this nature are always interesting and bene­ ficial, socially, let the alumni members receive the heartiest approval of all in their efforts at organization. RIVER EXCURSIONS.
