U- At nine o'clock this (Thursday) ing, at St. Mary's Catholic church in this village, Rev. M. W. Barth spoke the sacred words which made Mr. Ed­ ward Thompson and Miss Elizabeth Pint man and wife. • As usual, the bridal ponple, attended by Tena and Anna £int, sisters to the bride, and Messrs. John Degen aud Hen- ry Tabor, marched up the spacious cen­ ter aisle of the churchto the altar, to the strains of a beautiful wedding march very capably played by St. Mary's ot- gani^t. The bride, as well as the maid*; were handsomely gowned in dresses of white, the former carrying a boquet of white bride's roses. Arriving at tnealtar the ceremonies were performed and high mass celebraetd. At the conclusion of the services the bridal party, together with a host of in­ vited guests, repaired to the home of the bride's parents where a wedding re­ ception followed. Many beautiful as well as useful presents were left to the young couple by the gathered company before leaving. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Pint, who have just re­ cently "moved to McHenry from Ring- wood. She is a model young woman and will make a most deserving com­ panion to the man she has taken for her , hnsband. Mr. Thompson comes from Pomeroy, Ohio, but for the past four years has made Riugwood and the immediate vicinity his home, working on various farms. He is an industrious young man and during the four years he has lived in and about Ring wood he* has made many triends. ' The young couple will leave on the 4:23 train for a short wedding trip and will be at home to their friends at Ring- wood after December 11. Congratula tions. "* • ; _ Central 6p«ra House, Sunday Evening:. "The Kerry Fairlt-is the title of a new Irish play which will be seen next Son- day evening, December 8, at the Central opera house, with Edwin Hanford and Bell Hart as the stellar features. It is a play depicting life in the Emerald Isle, add the author, Mr. Hanford, is to be complimented upon his departure from the threadbare incidents and situation, viz: evictions, redcoats, landlords, etc., which have long ere this become irk­ some to all patrons of Irish drama. In "The Kerry Fair" Mr. Hanford has wo­ ven a clever plot, which teems with in­ terest, and abounds with sparkling comedy, with just a touch of sensation to thrill one for a moment. Mr. Han­ ford is an ideal Irish comedian, and Bell Hart is conceded as portraying the best colleen on the American stage. The company that supports them has been carefully selected to suit the special re­ quirements of this class of entertain­ ment.

' A birthday surprise, carefully planned by about twenty of her friecds, was ten­ dered Mrs. Susie Smith, at her home on Maple avenue, last Wednesday evening. Although entirely nnezpected, the host­ ess proved her?elf equal to the occasion by giving the uninvited guests an even­ ing of extreme pleasure. Tables were at once prepared for cards, which proved a very interesting pastime for the ladies until the hour of 10:30 had been reached. At this time a delicious luncheon was partaken of. One of the special feat­ ures of the luncheon was what might be termed a "cake of dolls," each guest re­ ceiving a tiny doll with her piece of cake as a souvenir of th^,occasion. The company left as a token of esteem to Mrs. Smith an elegant three-pieoe china Set.

Weck- ler to Mies Nellie Ellen Howlett took place at the home of the groom's parents, 485 Evanston avenue, at 6:80 o'olock last Wednesday evening, November 28, in the presence of twenty-four relatives and close friends of the bride and groom. The ceremony was performed under an arch of wedding bells of bridal roees, red carnations and maiden hair ferns, with pink lavender trimmings. The usual wedding service was performed and the ring service as well. Owing to the fact that the bride's father was un­ able to attend, being in northern Can­ ada, the bride was given away by the father of the groom. At the conclusion of the ceremonies, after each of the guests had congratulated the young couple, all sat down to an elaborate wedding dinner, served by Briggs, the caterer. The table decorations, con­ sisting of maiden hair ferns and an arch of pink lavender ribbons and bridal roses extending to the corners of the table, together with the beautiful pieces of cut glass and silver, was a most beau­ tiful sight to behold. This, coupled with the house decorations, white car­ nations on the chandeliers, formed a most pleasing effect. The music for the occasion wa#4ttrnished bj a fall orchestra. The bride is the daughter of Mr. snd Mrs. John Howlett .of Chicago. She is a beautiful and accomplished young woman, being possessed of a sweet and loving disposition, which has won for her the highest esteem and respect of all who have had the pleasure of her acquaintance. In social circles she has always been an active participant and has always been looked upon as a favor­ ite. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Weckler, of Chicago, but who, during the past several seasons, have made their home at Pistakee Bay. The groom's father is also a member of the Hnnter-Weckler Boat company, whose plant 1b located on the Fox river on the outskirts of McHenry. The groom is also interested in the company, being the junior member, and very capably fills the position of secretary. He is an honest, npright and industrious young man and his services to the company are of great value. To McHenry people he needs no introduction, as during the two years in which the company has been located here he has been numjiered as one of onr citizens and dnring that time he has made many warm friends in our village. The young couple have rented the T. J. Walsh house on Elm street, which has already been furnished for their occu­ pancy. They will be at home to their friends after December the fifteenth.

Both teams will be accompanied here by an army of rooters and it is expected that the game will be one of the most fierce­ ly fought on the local field. The He­ bron team has not met defeat in three years and they put up a fast and snap­ py game. The Elgin team is composed of ex-high schobl and academy players and are also considered a tongh bnnch to go up against.

Schobara county, New York, and died at McHenry, Illinois, November 34, 1805, aged 95 years, 7 months and 14 days. She was the daughter of Hugh and Sarah Madole, and one of a family of tea children, all of whom have preced ed her to the higher life. She was mar­ ried to Elias E. Wightman in March, 1833, in New York state, and came to the state of Illinois in 1837, locating in the vicinity of McHenry, and moved to McHenry in 1844, where she had lived ever since. Mr. Wightman died at Sand Spriugs, Nev., June 17,1877. This union was blessed with six children, four of whom, two sons and two daugh­ ters, with fifteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, survive, her aud mourn her departure. Mrs. Wightman was a member of the Baptist church. The funeral was held from the Uni- versalist church Monday, Nov. 37, at 2 p. in,, and the last sad rites were con­ ducted by Rev. Arthur Roberts. She steeps, mother dear, and gone to her eter­ nal rest. No more shall we see her face, and watch the heaving of her breast. They have borne her away to her low and silent bed. To rest in peace and sleep among the dead. We may oft wish that she was here again, In joy and gladness with us to remain; But when we count her pains, her sufferings, o'er. May we not count her blessed, that she can be no more? May we not in silence hear the whispering of nersqul-- "Weep not for me that I am gone, I had no wish to stay--my work Is done. Long have I journeyed life's road with you all, Now 1 am gone only in answer to the Heaven­ ly Father's call. "So weep not for me, the glorious bands of heaven sends me now The wreath of immortality, to sit upon my brow. Oh, rather give thy tears to those O'er whom long life its shadows throw* Whose cares and griefs and follies m§|)$ Weigh down the spirit to the dust." CARD OP THANKS. We wish to express in the columns of this paper onr most hearty thanks and appreciation to the kind neighbors and friends for the kind and willing help they tendered us during the dayn of our mother's affliction, and the rfespect and sympathy rendered in the hours of our bereavemet. M$s. C. L. STEBHINS. HENRY E. WIGHTMAN. JOHN E. WIGHTMAN. MRS. W. J. KITTLE. Rose L. Nickle was born near Ring- wood. 111., September 6, 1855, and died at the home of T. J. Royal, Breedsville, Mich., November 19, 1905. She married Willis J. Kittle, Febru­ ary 33, 1881. To this union four chil­ dren were given, one girl and three boys. Only Ray is living. At the age of sixteen Sister Kittle was converted and joined the M. E. church, remaining an active member until called to the church triumphant. More than two years ago, Brother and Sister Kittle moved to Breedsville, and won their way to the hearts of the people. Brother Kittle has the sympathy and love of all in the community. It was the writer's privilege to meet and enjoy the hospitality of Sifter Kit- tie's home last winter, and, like the ointment broken to anoint the Christ, the fragrance filled the room,--so the kindness shown me bjf this woman of God fills my heart with tender sympa­ thy today. Sister Kittle lived her re­ ligion every day and her life was a bea­ con light to encourage all who straggle to do right. For a soul so pure, a faith so solid, a trust so complete, thete could be but one ending--victory and peace. Sfnce all her life long melody Was set to tlif key of love. She will not find the music strange That fit's the courts above. But when her eyes with rupture<£leaf Shall read the heavenly score Hers in the endless songshiill he The part she knew before. , Mrs. Kittle had been in very delicate health all thru the summer and when the fall winds came on she felt she could not stand the winter, so she and her hus­ band had sold what they had and bad their iruuks packed ready to start for southern Alabama on Tnesday, Nov. 31. and had gone to a neighbor's, Mr. T. J. Royal, to spend Sunday, but on retiring she began to get bad and grew worse until she died, about seven o'clock Sun­ day morning. The funeral was held at Breedsville, Mich., Rev. Walker of the M. E. church at Lawrence, officiating. She was buried in the Ringwood cemetery by the side of her little daughter. MRS. CHARLOTTE GRIMOLDBY. Mrs. Charlotte Grimoldby died at the home of her daughter west of town last Tuesday evening at about five o'clock. The funeral was held from the M. E. church Wednesday afternoon at ope o'clock.

Hart's Boston Novelty Op. „ High# Their First The Cary team has the distinction of administering to the McHenry highs their first defeat this season, but Cary also has the satisfaction of knowing that they were in a real basket ball game, as the scoria may indicate. This happened at Cary last Friday evening before a good crowd of rooters. We do not know how it was that Mc­ Henry lost the game and there are many others who witnessed the contest who are at a loss to know why McHenry should hold the losing side of the score sheet, but Cary has it that they won by a score of 26 to 34 and they ought to know, of course. When time was called at the end of the second half, Prof. Fisher, who for his own benefit had been keeping score, summed up his card and found the score to be 25 to 35 as did also a spectator from Algonquin. Cary's official score keeper announced the score to be 36 to 34 and the game was The locals do not feel at all satisfied and say they will do their utmost to correct matters at their next meeting which will ta^e place at the city hall in this village next Friday evening, De­ cember 1. The McHenrys started the game Fri day night with a rush and before their opponents could pick themselves to­ gether tbei whistle had sounded calling the first half to a cloee with the score 30 to 6 in McHenry's favor. Cary al m o s t w e n t m a d a t t h e b e g i n n i n g o f t h e second and went into the game with the determination of winning, no matter how it was done. Every questionable decision went to Cary from then on and this was too much for the boys who rep­ resented the orange and black. They at once recognized that there was no use as the "square deal" which seemed to crown their efforts in the first half had faded away and just te the contrary were given a "dirty deal." To this any­ one who witnessed the g&ifie and who mean to be fair and hoiisiiSt will testify. But, nevertheless, the locals showed that they were not so easy and held their <Jwn with them in spite of the very un­ fair treatment they had received. It is up to every royal supporter of the local team to be on hand next Fri­ day evening, as the game promises to be a hotly contested affair The game will be called at the usual time and the ad­ mission will be the same: 15 cents for general admission, 35 cents fm rpprysfl seats.
