P. Melendy of Covello, California, which occurred at that place August 20. Dr. Melendy was formerly a physician of large practice here, but moved from this village about- eighteen years ago. He WHS a brother-in-law of E. M. and O. W. Owen. Charles S. Owen received his appoint­ ment to the Naval academy at An­ napolis on Monday, and will depart for that place the last of this week. Young Owen is 16 years of age, and is a young man of more than ordinary ability, as was proved by his excellent standing before the examining board at Elgin, which secured his appointment. His appointmeut is also a high tribute to the principal of our public school, Prof. S. D. Baldwin, under whose care he has been for the past five years. That one of his scholars should pass so creditable an examination and-receive this appoint­ ment, is an honor of which he may well feel proud. To his new field, young Owen will carry the best wishes of ev­ ery man, woman and child in this com­ munity, as he is honored and respected by all who know him. We predict he will come back crowned with all the honors that institute can confer. Successful Dance. The harvest dance held at Stoffel's hall last Friday evening proved a very successful affair, as far as the social part is concerned, there being about fifty couples out to enjoy the event. The mnsic furnished by Chris Hapke. .was excellent and the supper was of the usual tempting kind. The prize waltz, which proved a very interesting part of the evening's program, was won by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Martin of Wauconda. The gentleman's prize was a beautiful pair of military brushes, while the lady was rewarded with a handsome mantel piece. All present spent a most delight­ ful evening, not one going away dissat­ isfied. The judges for the prize waltz were outside people, so no partiality was shown, whatever. A more enjoy­ able dance was never held in the hall, which speaks well indeed for the man­ agement. ' ' Qur Public School. ' The McHenry public school opens this year with both increased enrollment and interest, and yet ftiere are many boys ani girls on our streets who should be in school. The present enrollment of 202 shows an increase of five over that of last year. Never before have teach­ ers and pupils enteqpd the school year with snch enthusiasm or interest as is everywhere manifest. Certainly this is a school age, with the demand for high­ er education growing rapidly gfeater. Do we all realize this? Parents, we 'want your boys and girls. A parent's duty confronts you. Will it be done, or shall we wait for the future to return the echo of remorse to you, and to your children's regret? Burglars Get Coal. Upon entering his coal bin last Tues­ day morning M. J. Walsh was very much surprised to find it empty. It is quite evident that the guilty party was well acquainted about the premises, as the bin, being in the rear of Mr. Walsh's store, was covered with show litho­ graphs and it was^necessary to remove about five thicknesses before an entrance thru a small coal shute could be secured. It would be well for the miscreant, whoever it may be, to sort the coal very carefully, as there are a fpp of dynamite among it. Kxcuraloa.

Round trip, 25 cents. Wins Power Boat Race. The power boat race which was to hive been held at Fox Lake on Sunday, September 3, -under the auspices of the Fox Lake Yacht club, was pulled off last Snnday. The race was won by Capt. Walker with his boat "Navigat­ or." This is a great honor for Capt. Walker and he will not be obliged to take a back seat for any of 'em hereaft er. The McHenry boats are surely com­ ing to the front. Rheumatism, gout, backache, acid poison, are results of kidney trouble.

With, Opfergelt in the Box the Wood­ stock Beds go down before McHenry OracDK-Strons Line-up. With the strongest line-up that they were able to pick up in their city the Woodstock Reds came to McHenry last Sunday afternoon with the intention of just running all over the locals. The day previous to coming to our little town the Reds had shut out the Union Giants, the fast colored team of Chica­ go, by a score of 5 to 0. Very much flushed over their victory, the Reds, naturally, thought they were XT. It was evident, however, that they feared the Greens just a trifle, so, to make it a dead sure thing, they brought Opfer- gelt, the great University of Illinois twirler, with them to do the box work. Thinking that they could win the game with their regular twirler, a good-nat ured young south paw, Field, by name, started to work for hhjal^elf aTittle glory, bnt what the Gwetre did to him in the two innings he officiated would not look well in print, so we simply say that he looked to the spectators like an amateur pitcher having his first experience in fast company. The Greens certainly did take a liking to the curves dished out by him and landed on them for keeps. About this timd\ there came a cry from the fans for Opfergelt, the once famous Illinois University star. Mr. Opfergelt at once responded to the re­ quests by taking his place in the center of the diamond and began dishing 'em out to the Greens. Of course, the spec­ tators expected to see the great box artist shut McHenry out without a hit or run, but were agreeably surprised when in the sixth inning Opfergelt waB landed on for three safe drives, one a two-bagger, McHenry getting five hits off his deliyery in all, and we think that is going some just the same. Bonding's work in the box was wonderful, consid­ ering the hard hitting team he had to pitch against. He is worthy of more than a little praise for the good day'B work he accomplishod. He now has the distinction of striking out such hard hitters as Jack Ryan, who, when a member of the Oliver team, pitched against the Chicago Cubs, holding them down to a 12 to 0 score. He was consid­ ered one of the hardest hitters on the old Oliver team. Among the others to strike out were O'Neill, the crack little short stop, also an old Oliver player; Reidesel, considered one of the best bpll players ever sent ont of Dundee, also struck out twice. The work of the rest of the team was of the gilt edge order and only words of praise are due them for their good work. One of the feat­ ures of the game deserving of special mention was the one-handed catch by Pfanmiller of O'Neill's line drive. It was the finest piece of work seen on the diamond this season. By the way, we can not fail to say that Pfanmiller is in the game at all stages, is a hard worker and hits the ball at all opportune times. He is a ball player in every sense of the word. Davis, at third, played his nsual snappy game. He also knows a thing or two about the national game, having an excellent batting eye, fields his posi­ tion like a veteran and runs bases with speed and good judgment. In fact, he is classed as one of the fastest base run­ ners who has ever worn a McHenry uni­ form. Shoemaker, the clever little short stop, robbed Opfergelt of a two- base hit in the ninth, when he knocked down the bitter's Texas leaguer, which he was forced to climb far into the air for, but he knocked it down just the same. The visitors started the game with a rush, sending a runner across the home plate in the first inning, a base on balls, double, sacrifice, and a single doing the trick. They scored two more in the third on a base on balls, a three-bagger and a sacrifice hit. There was nothing doing for them from this time np to the eighth round, when their last pair of tallies was brought in on a single, two sacrifice hits and a triple. This was all they could do, and the score getting for them was finished. The locals also started to count right from the start, the opening inning see­ ing fonr of the Greens cross the pan, the good work being done by three sin­ gles, one double and a triple. The sec­ ond inning was a short one, with noth­ ing doing for McHenry, but in the third anQther score was added on two two- base hits. The fourth and fifth passed without the sign of a score, but by the time the sixth had been reached the Greens had solved the combination to Opfergelt's hot ones and landed upon the collegian ioi two singles and a double, netting ~ them two more runs, just enough to clinch the game, and also put an end to the score-getting.

Everybody turn out, as this may be the last-game ot the season. " ' A CHALLENGE. Woodstock, III., Sept. 12,1905 To THE MCHENRY BASEBALL TEAM:-- We, the Woodstock Reds, hereby chal lenge the McHenry baseball team to a game of baseball, to be played at the McHenry ball park, for a purse of from one hundred dollars to five hundred dollars; each side to furnish an umpire and to select their players from their own team. Very respectfully yours, THE WOODSTOCK BEDS. NOTES FOR FANS, IfelilWB next Sunday, Opfergelt got four hits ont of five times at bat. Everybody satisfied, except » few of the five to three men. The Harvards shut out Dundee last Snnday by a score of 10 to 0. The Reds presented the strongest line- np they have put together this season. Davis and Pfanmiller will ^y hard to make the league team at Kenosha, Wis., next year. The double play by Shoemaker and Pfanmiller in the first inning was a clever piece of work. The Woodstock White Sox defeated the Richmond team at the latter place last Snnday by a score of 4 to 1. McHenry has now won fifteen on tof twenty-one games played. Is there an­ other team in the county that can show as good a record ? If so, speak np. Evansoh, the McHenry catcher, has received an offer to catch for the Reds. He will probably accept. His work be­ hind the bat last Sunday was carefally watched by the Reds, and they undoubt­ edly know a good man when they see one. The Greens' season record is as fol­ lows: Out of twenty-one games played they have won fifteen and lost six. They have twice been shut out and have three shnt out games to their credit. They have scored 161 runs, while their opponents have connted out 115 times. GU8 CARLSON SELLS OUT. Balldinjc nod Contents Purchased Math ion Thelen. by Gus Carlson, who for the past thirteen years has conducted a harness shop in this village, has sold out to Mathias Thelen of Elgin, the latter taking pos­ session last Saturday. Mr. Carlson came to McHenry in 1891 and with the exception of one year has made McHenry his home during all these years. He is a first-class harness maker, a good business man, and has been a good citizen for McHenry. On being questioned as to his intentions for the future a Plaindealer representative was informed that he and his family will leave for Westerwik," Sweden, about the first of October, where they will spend the winter, and retnrn to the United States in the spring. Where he will locate, upon returning to America, Mr. Carlson has not as yet decided, but wheresoever it may be the people of McHenry wish him success. Mr. Thelen, the new owner, is an old Mchenry boy, but for the past six years has made Elgin his home, where he has worked at the harness maker's trade. Be is a first-class worknan, a hustling business man and a good fellow. He will undoubtedly make a good success in his new business venture. Mr. Thelen has moved his family to McHenry this week and is now steely settled. • Antamn Party. A general invitation is extended to all to attend an autumn party to be held at Lily.

Nunda Herald: The Union school basket ball team will be reorganized this fall for the first time in two years. Steps have already been taken, the standards have been placed in position out doors, and practice will begin in earnest next Monday.

Two Irishmen went fishing at Pista­ kee Bay the other day, and before be ginning operations they made a wager as to who would make the biggest catch. They had been fishing about an hour with little or no success, when one of them, who had been standing, lost his balance and fell headlong into the water. The other gave a yell on seeing this, and cried, "Begorra, if ye're going to dive for them the bet is off." William McRoberts has the record catch for pickerel at PiBtakee Lake, having taken a 17i-pound specimen from those waters recently. This iB probably not only the largest pickerel canght at Pistakee Lake this season bnt the largest caught at any lake in this vicinity this year. It is now in the hands of a Chicago taxidermist and is being mounted so that in the years to ne it may grace the McRoberts dwelling place. - , It is difficult to care a congh or free yourself from the discomforts of a cold unless you move the bowels.
