COUNTY AUTOMOBILE CLUB Enjoy Banquet at RlvemMrB>w» Mere Sanday. New Pastor la from Atden and Preached 'His Flint Sermon Here Last Sunday-- Rev. Lanck Gives up Pulpit. <The Rock River conference of the Methodist Episcopal church which was .held at Freeport closed Wednesday aft­ ernoon of last week with the result that a great many changes were made. Mc­ Henry loses Rev. J. M. Cormack, who has been with us for the past two years* his place beiug taken by Rev. E. H. Beal of Alden, who preachedhis initial sermon here last Sunday. .Rev. Cormack. during^his residence here, has made many warm friends and it is with the greatest regret that we see him and his estimable family leave from our midst. The good wishes of the entire community go with him and his family. Rev. E. H. Beal, who thus becomes one of our citizens, comes here with a gilt-edged reputation as a pastor and citizen. That the good work of Rev. Cormack will be taken np by the new pastor and carried out in the same active way as it>has been done hereto­ fore is a foregone conclusion, if we may judge from Rev. Beal's former record which he has made for himself. A change that will be of% more than a little interest to McHenry people is the fact that Rtv. S. W. Lauck, who was pastor here some three years ago, and during the past two «years has been located at New Milford and Davis Junc­ tion, has decided, on account of poor health, to give up the pulpit and go to farming. He has already purchased a farm in Canada and with his family will occupy the same in the future. Other appointments of interest are: Rock ford district presiding elder-- Samuel Earngey.

Justen, who resides on bis father's farm near Pistakee Bay, has commenced the foundation for a new barn, to be 36x76 feet. This movement on Mr. Justen's part has been brought about by the urgent requests of a large number of summer resorters, who have so much trouble at the end of each sea­ son in finding a place to winter their horses. After due consideration Mr* Justen has decided to build. Although Mr. Justen will not be able to take in any horses this winter, he promises that he can take care of all of 'em next sea­ son, a fact that is sure to be very much appreciated by the resorters. P - Buys Richmond Gazette. James T. Walsh, who at one time managed the affairs of the Plaindealer Co., and who of late has taken an active part in the publication of the Harvard Hertfld, haV purchased the Richmond Gazette of P. K. Wright and will con­ duct it in the future.- Mr. Walsh is a thorough newspaper man and will no doubt meet with success in his new journalistic field. The Plaindealer wishes Mr. Walsh unbounded success. Broke W rist. Mrs. Laura Kennedy, ° who has been the guest of her son, Dorr Kennedy, at Woodstock, fell and broke a bone in the wrist of ber left arm last Thursday. As she is 89 years of age it will probably be some time before she will be able to use that member again. Mrs. Kennedy is the mother of Mrs. B. C. Mead of this village. Stores to Close at 8 P. M.

Sanday, October 15, will go down in local history as the date ot one of the most pleasant social events ever held in McHenry, it being the date of the ban­ quet given at the Riverside House b^ A. J. Olsen, president of the Mchenry County Automobile club, to the mem­ bers of that organization. Although the day was far from being the pleasantest for the occasion, about twenty-five machines, carrying seventy- five people, participated in the event. Had the day been more favorable the number of guests would ^undoubtedly have been more than doubled. The cars began to arrive in the early forenoon and continued to arrive at short intervals until the hour ot feast­ ing was close at hand, when the last of the machines arrived. The tables for the sumptuous repast were spread in the spacious hall on the third floor and the sight which greeted the guests when they entered the hall was one that will be remembered for years to come. The tables extended the entire length of the room. They were very prettily deco­ rated with carnations and ferns. The hall decorations consisted of ferns, reeds, flags and bunting, intertwined with red ribbon, forming a most com­ plete contrast. In the center of the hall, extending down from the chande­ lier, hung a beautiful bell of red paper, which at first glance won the admira­ tion of all. The walls were adorned with photos of the different autos and placards of every description. The pla­ cards in every instance were dated on the thirteenth of each month, portray ing some incident that had happened on that date. After reading them over we would imagine that hereafter no car will be seen out on this day of the month. The dinner was on the seven-course order and if there is anything that goes to satisfy the inner man that the guest did not have, it wa8 not the fault of Landlord Inness, as the spread was as complete as hhman hands could make it. Among the special features was the serving of the ice cream. The icy deli­ cacy was dished out in the shape of an automobile, with everything complete, including the chauffeur. The follow ing was the menu: Oyster Cocktail a la Toot Ox Tall Soup a la Crank Olives a la Battery Baked Trout witli KKK Sauce a la Kkldder Roast Stuffed 1'liickcii with Cranberry Jelly, Winnie (iot Her Sweet. Potatoes a la Sparkplug Potatoes au (iratlu a la Carburettor Green Peas a la Holler Hearing Fruit Ice Cream a la Cooler Assorted Cake n la Puncture Coffee 68 Test Crackers a la Mil filer Cheese a la Hard Oil Besides Hapke'S orchestra, which fur nished the music for the occasion, t quartet rendered several selections which were highly appreciated by all. Judge C. H. Donnelly was called upon for speech and be responded in his usual jovial manner, giving President Olsen due credit for the courtesy shown his quests. Mr. Olsen afterward responded to the judge's speech, and also had a few words to say in regard to the old battleship, "Winnie." In short, it was a most pleasant gathering and the pres­ ident received the congratulations ol the entire company for the fine treat­ ment they had had the pleasure of receiving. * Mr. and Mrs. Inness are worthy of all the credit so generously bestowed upon them by the guests for their efforts and they were given every assurance that their work was very much appreciated. Of course this is nothing new for. the capable proprietors, for we have yet to hear of a complaint against the hospi­ tality of these people, and The Plain- dealer herewith gives the assurance Xp the public that while at this popular resort their wants will at all times be complied with in the most efficient manner. Woodstock, Harvard, Hebron, Rich­ mond, Algonquin and Marengo were among the towns represented at the banquet.

Two suppers in one nightl Hur­ rah for bed again!" . Barrington Review/ About eighteen of our citizens invested in "eletric belts" Tuesday evening, after a silver-tongued orator had expounded for a short time the virtues of electricity as a healing power. If anyone regrets that he did not secure one he needn't worry, as no doubt within a few days there will be eighteen "electric" belts for sale at a job lot price. It should be borne in mind hereafter that "all that glitters is not gold, etc." Northeastern Journal: Everett Orvis, who lives near Ingleside, had a thrilling esperience one day last week. Accom­ panied by his wife he started out to bring in from the pasture a cow which had given birth to a calf the njlght be­ fore. The cow refused to leave the calf and became excited when Orvisattempt- ed to start the calf toward the barn. He. then opened his knife and stepped into the brush nearby to cut a whip. While thus engaged he heard his wife scream, and dashing out. the sight he beheld al­ most overcame him. The infuriated beast had attacked Mrs. Orvis, knocked ber down, and was in the act of tramp­ ling the life from her body. Not paus­ ing lor an instant Orvis, who is a, pow- erfol man, grappled with the animal, plunging the knife several times into her neck. The cow finally gave np the fight and Orvis was able to look after his wife, who had almost miraculously escaped with no serious, injury other than a severe bruising and a terrible shaking up.

Grover Kimball is Held Thugs. Up *Jr Three Grover Kimball, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Kimball of this village, was held up and stabbed by three thugs in Chi­ cago early last Tuesday morning. The Tuesday evening Chicago Journal has the following to say in regard to the matter: A fight with knives among four men occurred today at West Madison street and Francisco avenue. Grover Kimball, 1253 W est Lake street*, is at his home, weak from loss of blood from many wounds. He defended himself against odds of three to one after he was unex­ pectedly attacked from behind. Arthur Pease, Edward Knuden and William Smoien are under arrest at the Warren avenge police station, charged with the assault. Sergt. Landers and Detective Foley of the Warren avenue station heard the clash of knives and found four men struggling, three of them trying to worst a fourth, who was defending him­ self with every means at his power. At the sight of the officers' stars three took to their heels. Drawing revolvers, Landers and Foley gave chase, and in three blocks overtook the fugitives. At the nrazzles of revolvers the men were obliged to walk back to the scene of the assault. Kimball lay on the sidewalk uncon-. scious. He was taken to the office of Dr. Frank Healy, Wilcox and Francisco avenues, where he was revived, then to the county hospital and later to his home. The three prisoners were iden­ tified by him as the assailantB. He said he was going home when he was at­ tacked from behind, deceiving a severe wound in the right shoulder. He drew his own knife and. fought back. The odds were too great, however. At the county hospital it was found he had suffered a wound in the shoulder and severe cuts on the head, right hand and left arm. The prisoners declared they were ac­ quainted with Kimball and had quar­ reled with him earlier in the evening. They assert he renewed the quarrel wuen they met at the corner. Kimball declared he did not know them and they intended to hold him up. CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING. OUR WEEKLY PICK-UPS ITEMS PICKED UP ABOUT TOWN DURING THE WEEK.

Martin Howell shot a wild gooee last Monday morning before breakfast, and it came about in this way: It seems that the gentleman referred to has in his possession two wild geese which he uses as decoys. Being quite suddenly aroused on the aforesaid morning by a disturbance among the ducks and geese, Mr. Howell in a moment knew that game was in sight. Grabbing his trusty shot-gun, and attired only in his night robe, he soon fouud himself under a big flock of wild geese, which had been at­ tracted there by the calls of his decoys. Taking care to pick out the best and juiciest bird he pulled the trigger, and a moment later was seen making his way toward his home with a ten-pound goose. Here is one case where the early bird did not get the worm, but rather got it in the neck. Don't take our word for this but just ask Martin. He will explain all. Ye Olde Tyuie Partye.
