W. Barth officiating at the cer­ emony. The bridal oonple were attended by Miss Isabelle Matthews, a sister of the groom, and Mr. Joseph Heimer, brother of the bride. The ceremony was very simple and was attended by only a few of the nearest relatives. At five o'clock, at the home of the bride's par­ ents, an elegant wedding dinner was served to the few invited gnests, after which the happy young couple drove to Nunda, from whioh place they boarded the Chicago train. They will be the gnests of Chicago relatives and friends until November 20, after which time they will be at home to their many friends at 889 Ryerson avenue, Elgin, m. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Matthews of Barreville. He is an honest, upright young man and for some time bad been in the employ of A. C. Matthews. For the ppst two years he has been oondacting a first- class meat market on National street, Elgin, and since going into business for himself in that city has been enjoying a rapidly and ever increasing patronage, which speaks well as to his business qualifications. Dnring Mr. Matthews' residence in McHenry he has made many friends who are, more than pleased to know that he is mleeting with such excellent success. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mathias Heimer of this village. She is a beautiful young lady and has always been quite prominent in Mc­ Henry 's social circles. She is possessed of a sweet and loving disposition, where­ by she always makes friends at first sight. For the man of her choice she will make a most splendid wife and helpmate, and we heartily congratulate the groom upon his selection of her as a life companion. The groom has their new home in Elgin neatly furnished and ready tor occupanby on their arrival in Elgin. . Many beautiful as well as useful pres­ ents were received during the day from relatives, friends and acquaintances. The many yonng friends in this village extend congratulations. MARRIED IN CHICAGO. On Wednesday, Nov. 15, the marriage of Miss Clara' Schiessle to Mr. Harry Bending took place in Chicago. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Schiessle of this village. She is well and favorably known here, woere she has spent most of her life. Mr. Bending is also quite well known here, as he has been a frequent visitor to this village in the past two years and has been employed at the Northwestern hotel. Full particulars will appear next week. C. C. Colby Wins Case. The case of C. C. Colby vs. Geo. Sayer which was tried before Judge Gardener at Crystal Lake last Saturday was won by the former, t te charge against Mr. Sayer being for hunting on Mr. Colby's premises without permission. Mr. Say­ er's side of the case was handled by an eloquent gentleman attorney of Chica­ go, who is considered one of the best lawyers of that city; while attorney Lowell, of noted fame in McHenry oounty, represented Mr. Colby in the case. Mr. Colby has at different times given due notice that hnnting on his premises is strictly prohibited, but in spite of this there are many who seem to think that the law in this respect was passed just to fill the great law books of Illinois. But again we have been shown that the laws of Illinois can be enforced if necessary. Mr. Colby owns large possessions near McCollntn's lake while Mr. Sayer lays claim to a snmmer resort at Pistakee Bay and other extensive property. Entertains Pitasnre Clnk. Chas. G. Frett, the popular (Center ville meat cutter, entertained the mem­ bers of the McHenry Pleasnre club at the clnb rooms last night The guests cheerfully responded to the invitations issued them, as they were well aware of the fact that when Mr. Frett makes up his mind to do a thing he never does it by halves, and they were not disap­ pointed in the least. Cards furnished the amusement for the evening and at the midnight bonr refreshments of a nature that always satisfies the inner man were served. In short, it was an evening whioh will long be remembered by thoee who had the pleasure of being in Attendance. Look for Gilbert Bros.

HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES; AJtD A Miscellaneous AMortmnt ' of New* Items In Condensed Form For Conven­ ience of Bnsy People. Smith Bros., of Waulegan report the catch of 68,000 pounds of trout dnring October. The suspender and garter manafact carers have formed a trust. Another "hold up" scheme. The corner stone of the new Carnegie library at Highland Park was laid last Saturday afternoon. A subscriber who complained to the publisher that his paper was damp re oeived the reply from the patient and long suffering editor that, perhaps it was because there was so much "due" on it. If yon meet a man running down the street with black on his face, a demon­ iac look in his eyes and a dent in his hat don't say he Is crazy. He has merely been mixed up with a couple of joints of stove pipe and is fleeing from the pes­ ky things. It would be just as well for the "hunt- era to be aware of What they do in re­ gard to when the hunting season for quail opens, as some of the papers have advised that it was November 1. This is not true, and if it is acted upon the hunter is very apt to get into trouble. The date is November 10, and will con­ tinue until December 30. Beware of the stranger who wants to sell farmers a new water tank that will prevent water from freezing in it, and in view of failure to sell one wishes to leave a sample on hand to show, re­ quiring a signed contract for leaving it. The contract turns up as a note at the bank for the signer to pay. Sign no papers of any description for strangers and you won't get taken in. Fearing to face his sweetheart and propound the momentous question that might mean supreme happiness or deep­ est gloom for the remainder of his life, a colored lover is saiu to have evolved a thoroughly modern and quite unique so­ lution of the problem. The telephone operator reports the following conversa­ tion: ."Am dis two-thuty-foah?" "Yaas." "Am dis Miss Jobnsing?" "Yaas." "Say, Miss Johnsing, will yo' marry me?" "Yaas. Who am dis speakin'T" ' Gray slake Times: A certain profes­ sional man in this village received a check for |75 from an unknown person in Chicago last Monday. The receiver of the check is unable to identify the sender but for fear the latter would change his mind and recall the check, the professional gentleman immediately had it cashed. The writer has been to the postoflice ten times every day since he heard the above news, but up to the time of going to press has not been fa­ vored likewise. Dnring the yellow fever epidemic in Louisiana the telephone was fonnd to be of inestimable value in the shipment of supplies to the quarantined district and for several weeks the wires took the place of the commercial traveler. Wholesale houses outside the district called up retail stores where the quar­ antine was in force and through this Speans orders were filled without delay. Realising the necessity for connection by telephone, authorities allowed line­ men to enter the quarantine boundtries while all others were prohibited. Woodstock Republican: The four desperate criminals in the county jail, two of whom were under sentence to imprisonment indefinitely at Joliet, made a vain attempt to surreptitiously effect their escape Monday evening last, but were foiled by the vigilance of Dep­ uty Sheriff Wandrack, who had re­ ceived a tip from one of them that such an attempt was to be made. On Tue s day noon an innocent-looking package containing a book was delivered by the expressman to Robert McNamara, in from Harvard on a charge of larceny, and in the back of the binding of this book were hidden four hack saws about six inches long. In talking with one of the other prisoners State's Attorney Lowell received a hint of the contents of the package and immediately notified Mr. Wandrack, who, with a companion, took a position along in the evening to discover the whereabouts of the saws and to watch the operations of the pris­ oners. As he watched, two of the pris­ oners. who were nnaware of his where­ abouts, began singing, and while they were singing another prisoner was busy operating the saws on the steel bars of the cage. After waiting awhile "Wan­ drack entered the corridor and asked the prisoners what they were doing. They all denied that anything unusual was transpiring, but McNamara came out of the wash room and Wandrack went in, calling in his assistant, and they discovered the saws hidden behind a brace, and also fonnd that a section of the lead pipe leading from the wash­ bowl to the sewer had been loosened, evidently for use in subduing the jailer should a favbrable opportunity present itself. The saws were confiscated, and an effort is being made to locate the ac complice who expressed them from Syc­ amore. Meanwhile Gooby and Brown, who pleaded guilty to the torture and robbery of the Forns at Algonquin, were taken to Joliet on Wednesday to ser# indeterminate sentences, and "Buddy ' Smith s trial has been contin­ ued until the January term of court. FAIR A SUCCESS. An Ian MM Crowd In Attendance Snn­ day Evening. The fair and festival whioh was given1 at the Central opera house by St Mary's German Catholic church on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings proved very successful both socially and financially. The various attractions each evening proved a very good draw­ ing card and all who attended were well entertained. On Sunday evening when the operetta "A Peppery Pa" was presented by members of St. Mary's church choir the hall was taxed to ite fullest capacity, standing room being at a1 premium. The operetta was well rendered and that it was appreciated it is unneces­ sary to say, as by the urgent request of hundreds the program was repeated on Tuesday evening. One of the numbers worthy of especial mention was the musical duet rendered by Messers. Fred Bishop And John Freund. On Tuesday, the closing evening, the articles on which numtors were sold were raffled off and we herewith give a list of the winners: Albert Barbian--Framed picture of St. Mary's church. » Mrs. John Olson--Pair of vases.

M«H«ary Highs WIm White LOM to Crystal Lake. The first and second basket ball teiuni of McHenry high school journeyed to Nunda last Friday evening, where they met the two teams which represented the Nunda and Crystal Lake Union schools, in the second game of the sea­ son. The locals, although given a split, are well satisfied with the showing they made and we predict before the present season has come to a close the McHen­ ry highs will be playing an excellent article of basket ball. They showed a great improvement over their work of two weeks ago when they allowed the same team to score 12 points to their 21 right here at home. Th« work of the team on last Friday night was far bet­ ter than was really expected from them by their admirers and at times was most brilliant. The feature of the even­ ing's sport was the superb work of Em­ ery Wheeler, McHenry's faet and snap­ py field thrower. In him McHenry has one of the best athletes ever turned ont of the public school. He is a quick thinker and guards his man in a manner which always bringB him a round of ap­ plause. The rest of the team is also made up of the right sort of timber and ere the present season has come to a close we expect to see the local aggregation go np against the best of 'em. All that is now necessary is the earnest and hearty sup­ port of the pnblic which we believe will be given them this season as their ex­ cellent work is now more than worthy of a support. The final score was 29 to 6. As expected by many, if not by all, the second team went down to defeat, but the score was kept within reaching dis­ tance during the entire game, whioh made it much more interesting for the rooters, as did the contest of the first teams. McHenry seconds have no ex­ cuse to offer, whatever, but were more than a little handicapped by the absence of Alfred Pouse in the game, who in the contest two weeks ago proved hiujaelf to be a corner. The soore of the second team resulted 12 to 5, with the locals the losers. On Friday evening, November 24, the first team goes to Cary where they meet the Cary town team. It is hoped that a large company of rooters will accom­ pany the team to that city. GAME FRIDAY NIGHT. Tomorrow (Friday) night the first team will meet the Richmond team at the city hall in this villaite, at which time all who can should tnrn out and cheer our boys on to victory. Rich­ mond has a much stronger team than last year, and will give the locals a good argument. The game will be called at 8:15 and the regular admission prices will prevail. Military Kuchre and Kitchen Shower. A military euchre and kitchen Bhower was given by Miss Elsa Herrmann and Mrs. Paul Gerding at the home of the latter in Chicago last Saturday after­ noon for Miss Clara Schiessle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Schiessle, whose marriage to Mr. Harry Bending took place in Chicago yesterday. The color scheme was red, white and blue, and on the center of the table was a large pumpkin cut out in the shape of a bas­ ket and was prettily decorated with large bunches of grapes, apples, etc. Scattered around on the table were sprays of artificial leaves, whioh made the table appear very artistic. One of the features was that each guest re­ ceived a little souvenir in the shape of a doll's toy kitchen dish. A euchre party and novelty shower was also giv­ en Monday afternoon by Mrs. W. F. Heide of Chicago for Miss Schiesahu Another Linen Shower. , On Friday evening, Nov. 10, Miss Delia Heimer was chosen the victim of a complete surprise. As Miss Heimer contemplates leaving us in the near fut­ ure her girl friends took it upon them­ selves to surprise her with a linen show­ er. Although taken by surprise, the hostess proved herself equal to the oc­ casion and entertained her guests roy­ ally. After spending the evening pleas­ antly, a dainty luncheon was served and the young ladies departed for their homes, wishing Miss Heimer a bright and happy future.
