Itc QUARTER OF A CENTURY, / "«--• a Clipped from The Plalndealer of December 8, 1S80. Mrs. Dr. H. T. Brown is reported on the sick list,'but much better to-day. The youngest child of Ora Colby, a little girl about four years old, died this Wednesday morning. J<?bn Huemann had the misfortune to have a horse severly injured by a barb wire fence on Saturday, and but little hopes are entertained of its ever being fit to use again. This is the second horse Mr. Huemann Has lost in the ^ast six months.' We inadvertently omitted to notice last week the death of John Mudgett. who died on Wednesday, Nov. 24th, of paralysis. He had been feeble for some time, but the end was sndden and un­ expected. He was one of the earliest settlers, and was honored and respected by all who knew him. The contractors have arrived and com­ menced taking up the old bridge pre­ paratory to putting down the new. We believe they are allowed to keep it open not over twenty days, but if this weather holds travel will not be interrupted, the crossing on the ice being good. The new bridge will probably be completed by February 1st. Shedd & Co. 's workmen are making ready to commence cutting ice on the pond, and probably next week will be in full blast. Their horses here are all empty, and they will probably be on the pond abont four weeks after they com­ mence. The quality of the ice never was better than now. It is about twelve inches thick, and perfectly free from snow. ' New Arrivals* >- , L. J. Wooley, the oil man, is also wearing a broai smile these days. The stork called at his home last Friday and left a baby boy. Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Stilling, who reside near Pistakee Bay, are rejoicing oyer the arrival of a fine baby boy. The youngster arrived at their home Wed­ nesday, December 6. Arrived, on the evening special! Sat­ urday, December 2, at the home of E. B. Perkins, a young lady, weighing eight pounds. She was so cordially received that she has decided to make her home with them. Patrons of the West Side grocery are probably wondering why it is that they are being given extra good weight with their purchases during the past few days, and it may be well for us to ex­ plain matters. A young lady arrived at the home of the groceryman last Fri­ day, December 1, which aoferants for it all. , • Motive.

FEGERS & FEGER* McHenry Can Mow Bout of Having One of the Moat Complete Medleal Ofllcti in the West. Dr. C. H. Fegers, Sr., who has been located in McHenry for over twenty- five years, and Dr. C. H. Fegers, Jr., his nephew, who was recently estab­ lished in a partnership business with him, as mentioned in a former num­ ber of The Plaindealer, have completed the., fitting of their new offices. These gentlemen haye the ambition to serve their patients with the best treatment <«<noney can secure. Recently they have been enabled to gratify a long cherished desire in*the purchase of all of the most improved medical appliances, and it is rumored that they contemplate the es­ tablishment ofi^a sanitarium. They have had such a purpose in view, and just what the outcome of their plans will be remains to be seen. Of course, it will depend largely on their ability to demonstrate the feasibility of such an institution. The doctors have been en oourage<| in their undertaking by near­ ly all the neighboring nhysicians and consequently have arranged for a con­ sulting staff. When we had learned that the doctors had received a consign­ ment of medical appliances, we were anxious that the public, should know th# fpcts concerning the matter, and for this purpose one of our representatives called on them and gleaned the follow­ ing information relative to their valu- 'able collection. The appliances are varied in character, yet they all are to be used] in the treatment Of most all cases thVt come under the care of a phy*' sician and surgeon. These appliance# are established in their spacious and commodious nine-room offices, which consist of waiting room and library £ consulting and drug room; dressing and gynecological room; patient's private; rest room, furnished with hospital bed, etc.; sterilising room, microscopical and chemical laboratory, furnished with4 both steam and dry hot air sterilizer, microscope, etc.; operating room, white enameled thrnout, equipped with Fer« guson operating table, instrument cab* inet, large double irrigator, instrument: table and wall plate for both galvanic? and Faradic currents, with forty odd cells, also cautery, and Kelly vibrator* and improved means of massage in the; treatment of neuralgic, rheumatism and the like. All these appliances are fur­ nished in either marble, glass, or whiter enamel, thus assuring perfect aseptsis; dry hot air room, furnished with com* plete dry hot air body apparatus and smaller appliances for the treatment of separate parts of the body, such as the limbs, arms, side, back, ear, etc. Byi means of dry hot air, the patient being protected by wrappings and robes, the temperature can be raised to three or four hundred degrees Fahrenheit, thus procuring the stimulating effect of dry hot air, differing from moist heat;statio or X-ray room, fitted with 1905 best made 24-plate static machine, equipped with all modern appliances, such as German Diasalenic, bigh frequency. X-ray and cancer tubes, sprays, breezes, sparks, violet rays, ozonizing outfit and complete set of glass electrodes for the treatment of all skin diseases; nebuliz­ ing room, furnished With 6-bottle neb" nlizer, white enamel stand, glass top, gold finished compressed air tank, doub­ le action puuip. This nebulizer is used in the treatment of all catarrhal condi<- tions of the air passages--nose, throat, bronchial tubes, etc. In connection with the compressed air a small vibrat­ or is used, for the core of deafness and other diseases of the ear. Regarding electricity, the galvanic and Faradic apparatus is one Of . the most valuable aids known to medical science in the treatment of diseases. Its current, generated from forty odd large cells, is used in all forms of paral­ ysis and diseases peculiar to women. No safer or more satisfactory method of treatment has yet been diacovered, and it is employed and recommended by such eminent practitioners as Apostoli of Paris, Massey of Philadelphia, Blech of Chicago and a host of others whose reputation is world wide. Ita use in the removal of facial blemishes and super­ fluous hair is generally known. It would require a book to describe the varied us­ es to which these currents are put, and the excellent results obtained from them. The static machine is a recent inven­ tion highly esteemed by the medical fra­ ternity in any disease in which electrici­ ty is deemed necessary. It has revolu tionized the practice of medicine and largely enhanced the physician's means for relieving paina. It is especially val­ uable in determining the dislocations and fractures of litres. Fractures may be examined at any time after the splints have been applied, so that the physician can satisfy himself thdfPbhe break is properly knitting. Bullets, glass, needles, or any other substance imbedded in muscles can be located. Again, static electricity is recognized as the most powerful stimulant for the entire system. In all cases of nervous­ ness, general debility, weakness or dys­ pepsia no treatment has pfoV^u more beneficial than sparks and breezes ad­ ministered-by the static machine. The doctors are also equipped to treat all of the ey«, to do all. optical work, having a complete set of trial lenees, etc. These offices are lighted by gas and heated by hot-water heat, equipped with sanitary plumbing, bath and toilet. Dr. C. H. Fegers, Sr., has fitted up a private room adjoining these offices, where he can be found at all hours. The public is cordially invited to call, when the doctors wonld be pleased to show the different appliances installed. TH£ MONTHLY MEETING. City Oflteiala P«m Mew Ordinance for Chicago Telephone Co.

The ( ary basket ball team came to McHenry last Friday evening and set­ tled the dispute in regard to the game played at Cary two weeks ago, when McHenry did not feel quite satisfied with the result of the game. The game last Friday evening was a fiercely con­ tested one and the better team won, Cary taking the honors by a score of 25 to 18. The locals are not a slow band, but they were forced to take off their hats to the visitors this time without a word of compiling The two teams have arranged for a series of five games and in order to win out, McHenry must take the remaining three gripes to be played, which at this time seems almost impossible. The boys are putting in more time than ever in practicing, and still say that their chances of taking the series look good to them. This is cer­ tainly the right way to feel about it and with such a determination the locals will undoubtedly spring a big surprise at their next meeting with the Caryltes.

After the customary honeymoon tour the happy couple had settled down in a cozy fl it. One morning as she took her place at the breakfast table the bride placed a large revolver by the side of her plate. "W-why, my dear," stammered the astonished husband, "w-what does that mean?" "It means George, " re plied her bridslets, "that we have bis­ cuits of my own construction for break­ fast and that no adverse criticism will *be tolerated." •/ '•/ / ;,v ^ \ ^ Mrs. Orlo Brown of Woodstock was working about a stove at her home on Saturday, Noy. 25, when her clothes in some way bebame ignited and before the fire could be extinguished Bhe was so b»<Jly burned that her death occurred Sunday morning. Her sister was with her at the time of the accident and waB severly burned in trying to extinguish the flames. Mrs. Brown was one of the prominent women of Woodstock and her death is a great shock to the people. The case of the people against the Chi­ cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, brought on the ground that the de­ fendant above named neglected to prop­ erly care for several patches of Canada thistles on the company's right of way in this township, was tried at Wood­ stock Thursday. A first hearing was had before Justice Rotnour in this vil­ lage last summer Attorney Lang of Richmond represented the plaintiff and Attorney Churchill of Lake county the defendant. A judgment was rendered against the company in the sum of $50. An appeal was taken to the circuit court and a trial was had before Judge Donnelly, * Attorney Lang and Joslyn appearing for the plaintiff and Attorney Churchill for tba defendant. • judr lira.; Charlotte Grixnoldby away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Warren Thomas, who resides west of town, on Monday, November 27, 1905. Miss Charlotte Walmsley was born in Grimoldby, 'England, April 16, 1821. She came to America in the year 1855, settling first in Canada, but later came to Illinois . residing in both Lake and McHenry counties. For many years, up to the death of her husband, she made this village her home, but after her husband had passed away she took up her residence With her daughter, where she died. The deceased was united in marriage to Mr. Christopher Grimoldby at Tet- ney, England, November 23, 1850. To the union seven children were born, four of whom are left to mourn. The living children are as follows: T. C. Grimoldby, of Oswatomie, Kansas; Geo. E., of Omaha, Neb.; Mesdames William, and Warren Thomas, who reside west of town. Charles died in infancy, Ben­ jamin W. passed away February 29, 1881, and John W. answered the call of our Father October 7, 1900. In 1871 Mrs. Grimoldby united with the Disciples church and was a faithful Christian to the end, always, ready to serve the &1 mighty. The fuperal services wtere held from the Met hodist chnrch in this village last Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock, the Rev. J. F. Eaker, pastor of the Bap- tfst c^prch of Woodstock, conducting. It was attended by a host of sorrowing relatives and friends who had gathered to pay their last tribute dt respect to the one who, by her many good deeds, they had learned to love. Interment took place in Woodland cemetery. JAMES WYLIE JONES. ~ Buried, at Ringwood, Sunday, Nov. 26, James Wylie Jones. Death occurred at his home, 1664 Park avenue, Chioago, Wednesday evening, Nov. 22. Burial was by the Masonic order, of which he had been a member Bince 1871. Some­ thing like one hundred met in the ser­ vice, of which about sixty were from Oak Park and forty from the home (Mc­ Henry) lodge. - , Jimmie was born in Missouri fifty eight years ago, and was made an en­ gineer on the North-Weetern road in 1861, being hardly twenty-one years old In all this long service he never made a mistake that cost the company a cent. He was considered one of the best run­ ners and was frequently picked to do duty on the "special." So much for duty. Socially, he radiated good fel­ lowship. No one could any more come near him and not be full of cheer than he could stand before a fire and not get warm. One little story will illustrate the man: One dreary, black night, as he stood with his engine at the entrance to the passenger yards, he noticed a poor unfortunate looking for coal along the track. He said to the fireman: "Don't make a mistake and knock off a chunk of coal as you are breaking." The prayer that flashed from that poor coal picker's eyes was more to him thaq, the applause of the world. When the writer left the oemetery that beautiful day he left behind him the worn out tenement of one of the warmest souls it is the privilege of man to meet,--his closest friend, chnm and companion. Friends, we all know Jimmie. It is Well said: "He asked only justice for himself and demanded it lor his friends." #*# CARD OF THANH& We desire in this manner to thank all the friends who so kindly made the way so smooth to feary Mr. Jones.
