Defeats Ctyatal Lake Lads in Basket Ball Friday Evening. ; The basket ball season was victorious­ ly opened in McHenry last Friday even­ ing when the first and second teams of the Crystal Lake and Nunda Union high school met defeat at the hands of the local first and second teams. Both games proved very exciting to the crowd of spectators who had gath­ ered at the city hall, there being not a dull moment during the entire progress of both games. The seconds were the firet io compete for honors and at the end of the first half it looked as if the locals were up for a beating, aitho the game was very closely contested. The first hslf ended with Nunda in the lead, having registered five points to McHen­ ry's two. Altho this was the first game that the peconds ha4 participated in, they showed, when the second half bad been called, thafe? they were not on the lay-down order, but, to the contrary, went into the game with confidence. Not only did they win out in this half, but also held the visitors to a no score game, which is certainly a good sho v 'ng. The second half ended with Mc- VNCLE SI HASKINS. At th« Central Saturday and Sunday Henry in the lead by one point. The, local team was composed of Meyers. Pouse, Page, McOmber and Gallaher, Page being substituted in the second half by Freund. After a short intermission the first teams took the floor for the first half. It was noticeable from the start that over confidence on the part of our boys kept tbem from running up a much larger score than they really did. The visitors played a good hard game, but lack of team work put them to a disad­ vantage. Our boys did not show their true form, but the s^ractators were given the impression that they had not forgot­ ten the fine points of the game during the summer months. A great showing is expected from them this season. The score at the finish of the second half stood 21 to 12, with McHenry the vic­ tors- Both local teams have thus started the season in a way which always brings so much joy to their hearty supporters and with the proper encouragement from our citizens the boys will finish the season of 1905- '06 with flying colors. Turn out and see the games--the boys will do the right thing by all. Dance Saturday Night. Final preparations for the social dance to take place at Stoffel's hall next Sat­ urday evening, Nov. 4, have been com pleted and everything points to a good time for all who attend. The floor will be in charge of the following named young gentlemen: West McHenry, John Hunter; McHenry, G. C. Boley; Woodstock, J. P Green; Nunda, Floyd Covalt; Emerald Park, Lee Walinsley; Wauconda, Ben Martin; Spring Grove, Ed Carey; Solon, Frank Martin. The music for the occasion will be furnished by Sylvester's orchestra of Woodstock, which assures the best. Nothing has been left undone to make, the event one of the liveliest ever held in the hall and it remains for the dancing public to avail themselves of the opportunity of spending a most delightful evening to­ gether. Dance tickets only 50 cents. Receive* Cup. HM Hunter-Weckler Boat QBL on Wednesday morning uf this week re­ ceived the cup which their boat, the Erin, won by winning the Chicago Pow­ er Boat club race from Chioago to Mackinac Island last .

He had just pulled out from shore in a row boat and had not gone far, when he fell out of the boat and into the water. A few friends on shore, seeing him go over­ board, went to his assistance at once, but be was dead when taken, from the icy waters. Heart failure, it is said, was the direct cause of death. Mr. Hamm was quite well known about McHenry. having been a frequent visit­ or at the Huck cottage at Emerald Park for the past several season*.. : ?

Castor Adama Ingk Celebrate Emt. mt Mic 81 John's German Catholic ohnrch at Johnsburgh was the scene of a very pretty golden wedding last Monday morning, when Mr. and Mrs. Castor Adams of that plaoe celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. The cer­ emony was performed by Rev. H. M. Mehring, pastor of the church. Mr. and Mis. Adan s were both born at Hirten, Kraes Maien, Rgbs., Koblens, Germany. In 1841, the former, at the age of nine years, in company with his father, cams to this oouatry, being among the first German settlers of the ooanty. He was united in marriage to Miss Anna Hoemann in 1855, the latter coming to this country one year pre­ vious to her marriage, and being ac- oompanied by her brother, Joseph Hue­ mann, who is now a resident of Staoey- ville, la. Twelve children blessed the union, four of whom died in infancy. Joseph passed to the Great Beyond ten years ago the 10th of last March. Mrs. John Karls, a daughter, was called away Jnly 6, 1904. The living children are: John and Mrs. Anton Muellenbaoh of Adams, Minn.; Peter, of Richmond; William, Nick and Mrs. Joseph Miller, who reside at Johnsbergh. The ceremony waa attended by a host of relatives and friends, who spent the day in telling tales of by-gone days, etc. Those in attendance from a distance were: John Adams, son, Peter, daugh­ ter, Gertrude: Mrs. Anton Muellsnbach, Stephen tiantee, of Minnesota; Mrs. An drew Schmitt, Mrs. John Blake, John and Elisabeth Huemann, of Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. John Wiedemann, of Chicago. As Mr. and Mrs. Adams ware among the first settlers at Johnsburgh they ex­ perienced their share of the hardsoips which all early settlers wan forced to endure. Thru hard and earnest work the 000pie, after a number of yean, had saved enough to porcbaee a small tract of land and had a home they oould call their own. Here many a poor immigrant found a night's lodging and a hearty meal, as there was nothing which suit­ ed Mr. and Mrs. Adams better than to have the pleasure of sheltering some of the others who had oome to this conn- try to seek a livelihood. Everyone, no matter who he or she was, or whence they came, were always weloome.thare One of the special features of the. day was an address delivered by Mr. John Wiedemann. Mr. Wiedemann, in his address, praised the couple for the good work accomplished by them and also for their generous hospitality. Many beautiful mementoes of the occasion were left by the company before depart ing for their various homes. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. ANNUAL CONVENTION HAPPENING8 IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES.

Drawing for partners was one of the special features of the even­ ing. each boy being compelled to draw for a new partner three times during the evening. The rooms were very prettily decorated and jack o'-lanterns served to furnish the light for the oc­ casion. At a late hour, or, rather, we should say early, the company partook of delicious refreshments served by the young ladies, after which all departed for their various homes, expressing themselves as highly pleased with the evening's entertainment.

The Brethern Puolishing Co., of Elgin will scon begin the erection of a new $80,900 plant in that city. Harley Cooley, emplyed on a farm near Big Foot, husked 180 bushels of corn in shock one day last week. Woodmen will have no November as sessment to pay. The balance in the benefit fund of the order is $1,700,000. A half dozen of Dundee saloon keep­ ers were fined |25 and costs each for keeping their business places open on a recent Sunday. A sister of Marx, the car barn bandit, was sent to the asylum at Dunning one day recently. Brooding over her broth­ er's disgrace and his awful fate on the gallows was responsible for the loss of her reason. North- Eastern Journal: Peter Bowers is deepening and widening the basin from which he gathers his crop of ice in winter. He has a dam constructed by means of which he can overflow the basin with pure spring water making ice of an excellent quality. The Wie- land Dairy company have leased one acre of this for their own use. Nunda Herald: The milk dealers of Nunda and Crystal Lake, owing to the high price of labor and feed, have found it necessary to advance the price of milk a little. They will not raise to the price of many other towns, but will, on November 1, charge one-half oent per quart more than before, making the price 5i cents, or eighteen instead of twenty tickets for $1. An exchange says the "9" is the most unfortunate letter in the English lang­ uage. because it is never in cash, always in debt and never ont of danger. Our exchange forgets that the aforesaid is sever in v.'ar and always is peace. It is the beginning of existence, the com­ mencement of ease and the end of troub le. Without it there would be no meat, no heaven and no1 delinquent subscrib­ ers. A Cass county man who never sub­ scribed to a newspaper in his life went to an editor the other day and asked him to let the public know through his paper that he had a sewing machine to trade for two hogs. He wanted the "ad" free. The editor looked at the man a moment aud then replied: can't eee what you want the hogs for as long as you're around home so much yourself." A young lady in Boston stepped into a nearby drag store the other day And asked how to take a dose of castor oil without tasting it. The proprietor fooled around awhile and then asked her if she would like a glass of soda wat er. Of course she would. Then he wanted to know if she tasted castor oil. "Heavens, no" she exclaimed, "did you put it in the soda?" He told her he had. "Goodness gracious," she said, "I wanted it for my mother." Richmond Gazettee: Wm. Stoffel of McHenry, a traveling salesman for the International Harvester Co., was in Richmond Friday on business for. the company. Mr. Stoffel, whose territory is McHenry county, has had a very busy season of it. He is also a member of the board of trustees of the village of McHenry and takes pride in the fact that 38,000 square feet of sidewalk were constructed in that village the past season at a cost of a trifle more than live cents a square foot. Many people seem to think that edit­ ing a publication makes life one glad eweet song. Ring off! If we publish <jokes people say that we are rattle­ brained. If we don't, tfe are fossils. If iwe publish original matter, they say we ilon't give them enough selections. If we give thein selections, they say we are too laxy to write. If we don't go to Church, we are heathens. If we do go, iwe are hypocrites. If we remain in the office, we ought to be out looking for jiews items. If we go out, then we are not attending to business. If we wear old clothes, they laugh at us. If we wear good clothes, they say we have a pull. Now. what are we to do? Just as likely as not, someone will s^y that we stole this from an exchange. So we did. It's from the Wyoming Derriok. An exchange says: A loafer on the street whose wife was probably at home getting out a neighbor's washing to make money to buy the children's shoes, asked a busy man one day if be ever saw a bald headed woman. "No, I never did," replied the busy man, "and I never saw a woman waltzing around town in her shirt sleeves with a cigar in her teeth and running- into every saloon she saw. Neither did I ever see a woman sitting all day at a street cor­ ner on a dry goods box telling the peo­ ple how the secretary of the treasury should run the national finance. I have never seen a woman go fishing with a bottle in her pocket, sitting on the bank all day and go home dronk at night, nor have I seen a woman yank off her coat and say she would lick any man in town. God bless u* the women are not built that way." > '.Aiii A-i.-. .V The annual convention of the McHen­ ry County Sunday School association wilt be held at the Presbyterian church, Woodstock, HI., on Tuesday and Wed­ nesday, Nov. 7 and 8.
