Ufa Membership Ticket* for Mas and Wire to be Sold for $15 and a Thorough Cauvass for their Sale to be Made. A meeting of the executiye committee of the McHenry County Agricultural board was held at Woodstock Monday, January 8, 1906, the following members being present: President, Wm. Des­ mond; vice-presidept, M. Zimpleman; treasurer, Fremont , Hoy; committee­ men, G. R. Lanning, B. L. Joslyn, R. R. Seward, J. H. Turner, E. C. Turner, C. W Thompson, E. W. Harrison, A. S. Wright, C. E. Rowley, Henry tteyes and the secretary. C. E. Rowley and C. W. Thompson were elected to act in conjunction with the president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer constituting the board of directors for 1906. Superintendents of the various departments were elected as follows: * Privileges, M. Zimpleman, Marengo; Speed, N. B. Manor, Hebron; agricult­ ural building, J. H. Turner, ijebron; manufacturers' building, Theo. Hamer, Woodstock; horses, Dr. W. W. Lichty, Woodstock; cattle, W. McDowell, Woodstock; sheep, F. C. Wells, Har­ vard; swine, G. R.

The marshal and superintendents of forage, gates and grand stand to be ap­ pointed by General Superintendent Dike. There was some discussion as to changing date of fair. On motion of C. E. Rowley, it' was voted to hold the fair as usual--the last week in August. It was also decided after some discus­ sion to hold the annual meeting as here­ tofore--the third Saturday in October. The question of the advisability of issuing an annual membership ticket for man and wife to be sold at $1.50 was brought before the meeting by Mr. Wright and after a lively discussion it was decided to iseue said ticket in two parts, entitling both man and wife to admission during the fair, to compete for premiums and to vote at annual meeting. Mr. Wright, Mr. Joslyn, Mr. Hoy and others spoke in favor of issuing the life membership tickets for man and wife at $15 00, which was finally adopted and a thorough canvass will be made for the sale of said tickets, with the hope of wiping out the present indebtedness of the board. The profits of ° the fair of 1905, added to. the receipts from life membership tickets already sold have enabled the board to pay about 20 per cent of the indebtedness, as well as the interest for one year. On motion of M. Zimpleman the sec­ retary was authorized to change tbe by-laws to conform to the changes in membership tickets. The president ap- ]>ointed N. B. Manor, M. Zimpleman and Fremont Hoy as committee to re­ vise the premium list. On motion of the secretary the gen­ eral superintendent was authorized to construct movable pens for sheep in the center of the hog and sheep barn, also to convert the boarding on outside of hog pens into swing doors, using strong woven wire on the outside hi place of boards.' Prof. Conn and Superintendents Hart and Jones were present and spoke on the advisability of the board allowing superintendents and teachers some com­ pensation for installing school exhibits instead of offering premiums on these exhibits, as heretofore. Those sugges­ tions met with the hearty approval of the committee and arrangements for same were left in the hands of Supt Conn. There being only one exhibit (town­ ship) of agricultural products at the fair last year it was decided to Offer no pre­ mium on said exhibits this year. No further business appearing, meet­ ing adjourned. Look for Gilbert Bros. Co. 's advertise­ ment on another page. Remarkable grocery sale. Council Proceedings. The board of trustees met pursuant to adjournment. The dramshop bond of Murray & Noonan, with Ed. Long and Jos.

McHenry is to experience a boom dur­ ing the year 1906 as it never has before, that is, judging from present indications and we firmly believe that our statement will have come true ere the end of the present year. In an interview with August Larson, who for the past Several months has been managing the affairs of the Rose' dale Pleasure club, but who is now lo­ cated in the recently purchased Howe house situated at Orchard Beach on Fox river, that gentleman stated to a Plain- dealer representative that the coming summer will see a big boom along the shore of Fox river known as Orchard Beach. Mr. Larson is already planning for the summer's business. He will con­ duct a hotel in his newly purchased home which will be known as the Or chard Beach hotel. Since last Jnly the gentleman above reported to have sold to different parties seventeen building lots which will be occupied by at least ten cottages, all of which will undoubt­ edly be erected during the ooming spring and summer. Two of these are to be occupied by families who have already signified their intentions of making Or­ chard Beach their permanent home. Several new cottages are also to be erected at Beautiful Pistakee the com­ ing spring and summer and as a whole we can see what we have always pre­ dicted--the making of one of the largest as well as best summer resorts in this part of the country. The new railroad will also figure prominently in the mak­ ing of McHenry and if our citizens will all work together, giving all the encour­ agement possible to the people who con­ template giving us the boom we can see nothing but a most prosperous future before us. Another fact which has been brought to our notice is that there are hundreds of families in Chicago who would spend the summer at our beautiful resorts if they were only able to secure cottages. We believe that it would be a very good paying proposition for the iand owners along the river to erect summer homes. Take tbe cottages at Howell's Villa for instance,--last summer each and every one of these was occupied and the own­ er was forced to turn away numerous applicants who had applied after all bad been let for the season. There are a number of ( hicagoans who spent last season on the river that cannot return the coming season owing to the fact that cottage can not be procured. Will the land owners lay idle or will they erect cottages? Look for Gilbert Bros. Oo.'s advertise* ment on another page. Remarkable grocery sale. Dr. F. C. Ross Sells Out. After nearly seven years of most suc­ cessful practice in McHenry Dr. F. C. Ross has sold his dental office fixtures to Dr. W. F. Stone of Chicago, the lat­ ter to begin practice next Monday morn­ ing. Since Dr. Ross' residence in Mc­ Henry he has, through his superior work, fair and honest treatment, es­ tablished a moet satisfactory business. He and his estimable family have al­ ways been good citizens, whom the town would be sorry to lose should the doctor decide to locate elsewhere. As to his future plans the doctor has not as yet decided but will make McHenry his home for tbe present. Dr. Stone comes to McHenry with a gilt edged reputation as to his professional qualification. He speaks, beside the English language, both the German and Scandinavian languages quite fluently. Among tbe improve­ ments to be made will be the installation of electricity to work with. The doctor will also practice evenings. Huiiw* WHEREAS, the board of trustees of the village of McHenry at a regular meeting of January 8, 1906, passed an ordinance entitled "An Ordinance Con­ cerning Dram Shops," and said ordi­ nance having been published January 11, notice is hereby given to whom it may concern that said ordinance will become operative and in force on Monday, Jan­ uary 22, 1906, at 10 p. m.

QUARTER OF A CENTURY HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY TWEN­ TY-FIVE YEARS AGO. \ • , , Items Clipped from The Ptalndealar Pnb- llnhed January 19, 1881--Partlealarly Interesting to Old Residents. Henry Colby, of the firm of Colby Bros., started today for Yankton, Da­ kota. He goes for his health and ex­ pects to be gone two or three months. Louis Lawrence and Miss Eva Miller were married by VRev. Father Fegers, on Wednesday last, and Joseph Law­ rence and M|§8 Katie Benalkin, by Rev. Father O'Neil, on Sunday. Smith & Snyder bought of M. Justen one day last week twenty-two hogs that averaged 500 pounds each. These, we believe, are twenty-two Of the heaviest hogs, raised by one matt, ever shipped from this station. By a letter from J. F. Barney, of Ker- win, Kansas, we learn that they have not escaped the cold weather in that section, as tbe thermometer pointed to 82 degrees below sero. He reports but little snow in that state. The following is a brief report of my school for the month ending January 8, 1881, taught in the Bassett district: To­ tal number enrolled, 26; average daily attendance, 80; names of those not ab­ sent during the month: Dor. Thomas, Flora Bassett, Bertha Hobart, Cora Martin, Frank Martin. Names of vis­ itors during the month: Miss Emma Thomas, Mrs. E. Thompson, Miss Carrie Martin, Miss Etta Kittle, Mr. A. L.

What might have resulted in* fatal aocident befell Frank Kimball laat Sat­ urday while engaged in felling a tree in the John Claxton woods, east of town, when he was struck squarely on the head by a falling limb, the blow knock­ ing the victim to the ground, rendering him unconscious. How long Mr. Kim­ ball remained unconscious is not known, but he states that it might have been from three to five minutes before he came to. It is unnecessary to say that he lost no time in getting to town, Where Dr. Larson was summoned to dress the wound. Oo the doctor's arrival, it was found that a four-inch gash, necessitat­ ing four Btitches, was tbe result of the blow. Mr. Kimball was made as com­ fortable as possible and at this writing is recovering nicely. The fact that he wore a heavy wool cap undoubtedly saved him from a much more serious injury. Closing Oat.
