Visit the school; Make a beginning now, it is a good time. The welcome accorded by teachers and pupils will surprise you and the impetus given the school by your manifest interest and presence will help us on to victory. Drop in and confer with teachers re­ garding the work of your children and all in whom you are interested. "The growth of fraternities in high schools has been very rapid and far reaching" says one of our journals and further adds: "their existence is tolerat­ ed, not encouraged." The resolntions adopted by the N. E. A. department of superintendents reads: "To combat the pernicious influence these societies ex­ ert." They threaten to change the en­ tire character of the public school and must be controlled or abolished How about a school garden? Can we not have the ground?. The school gar­ den is just as legitimate and essential as maps, charts, globes, etc. Now is the time. From this the children get the best ideas concerning plant germination, growth and development, the essentials for a perfect plant, and thereby, uncon­ sciously apply them to their own lives, thus the twig is inclined and the master oak will be the product. Let us have our school garden. EXCHANGE CLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENTtOUNTIES. AND A Miscellaneous Assortment of Mows Items In Condensed Form For Conven­ ience of Busy People.

"Please, jnuiir, could you do a little .sewing for me?' said the tramp. "Yes, with pleasure,' answered the lady, "what sewing would you like to have me do for you?" • "I have a button here; if yon will please sew a pair of pants on to it, I'll be very much obliged."

Preparations for the Easter dance to be held at S toff el's hall on Wednesday evening, April 18, are progressing nice ly. The management is leaving noth­ ing undone to make the event one of the swellest that ever happened and you are invited to be present.

An enthusiastic crowd greeted the second team Saturday evening and saw them go down before the invincibleSec- onds from Crystal Lake. They put tip a good game but the odds were against them from the beginning. The team work of the Crystal Lake boys was ex­ cellent. After the game they repaired to Stoffel's hall wnere an elegant lunch­ eon was served by the girls of the senior and junior classes assisted by Mesdames W. F. Gallaher, F. L. McOmber, Ella Lamphere and Mr. Pilcher. AM yon square with us? If not, what evening and this gives promise of bring­ ing to McHenry one of the best musical organizations to McHenry that ever played at a dance here. More particu­ lars next week. Perhape oe the aooount of refraining from self praise, as seems necessary in many instances, and the prevalent idea that such news arising from its source would be unimportant and uninterest­ ing, the Sunday school is rarely report­ ed for the public in general. Why not? There is no institution of greater pur­ pose and work than the, Sunday school, and W$ cannot keep too often the good things before our vision. The Sunday school ranks among the first institutions for moral instruction and public good. In this respect it is free and open to all alike in purpose and methods, and deals directly with the knowledge which makes for true manhood and woman­ hood, and vitally touches the moral con­ sciousness of public life. There is no institution today that gives so great re­ turns for the time and money expended on it. From a material view of it, it pays a large dividend for investments. One dollar and a fragment of time on the side of Sunday school are worth more than one hundred dollars invested in police force to keep the morals of a town right side up. To which are we paying most? Ask the question in all sincerity and think of the . many thou­ sands of dollars that go to upset the morals of every community tad how little goes to institutions of good. Think upon which side we cast lots when we spend the entire Sabbath in sport and idleness, with no thought for moral in­ struction, which the Sunday school af­ fords. Reflect and answer for your­ selves. There is an idea prevalent that the Sunday school is for children only, and the instruction givea there is directed to them wholly. Reader, if this be your idea, and you are of mature years, dissipate it at once and recall Christ's words to console yon in your loss of an idea: "Believe me, unless yon quite change and become like children, you will not even enter the kingdom of heaven. Anyone, therefore, who shall humble himself like this child shall be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Do you wonder why there is so much hell in this world and not more of heav­ en? The answer is in the Savior's words: Beoause there are so many who are not willing to go by the way of the child into heaven. No one ever gets too old to attend the Sunday school and learn of the children, but the instruc­ tion given there is not wholly directed to the child mind, by any means. The greatest questions of life come up for consideration. And be who does not know this is far from knowing the pur­ pose and work of the Sunday school. It would be well for father* and moth­ ers to think of this point. For those interested and do not attend the Universalis Sunday school we Hake this way to let you know that we are much alive at our place and solicit your attention to this report: Sinoe the first of the year the per cent, of attendance has beeu 82. The per cent, in increase of members, 27, and collection, $14.73. The members attending every Sunday for the three months are Cora bell Mc­ Omber, Irene McOmber, Myrtle Wat­ tles, Jennie Owen, Ethel Paaske, Jens Paaske, Johnnie Hille and Germer Pet- esch. At the lieginning of the year the school took sides under the respective names of "Blues" and "Reds." These entered a contest for three months, end­ ing; with the last Sunday in March. The contest was for points in attendance, good lessons, behavior and collections The "blues" came but beet In conse­ quence, the "reds" are to give a ban­ quet for them next Saturday, from 8 to 6 p. m., in the church parlors. No one admitted to partake except members of the Sunday school. Don't you wish you were counted--but good thingE come in reality to those who arc willing to be counted and work for them. -- --, PaHniou Week at M. K. Church.

Blase Discovered In Branson's Store at About Mldnijfht Hour Friday Night- Ed Long and Family Flee for Lives. West McHenry was the scene of a most disastrous fire last Friday night wnich broke out (as near as can be learned) a trifle before the midnight hour. The lire, when first discovered by Will and John Thurlwell, who were just returning home, was making a rapid headway' near the center of the Evanson store. A fire alarm was at once given, but the first response did not reach the scene until the flames had worked their way to the second story of the building, beyond control. The wires of the Chicago Telephone company were kept quite warm for nearly two hours in giving the alarm thrnont the entire village, and before 12:80 several hundred citizens were at the scene, all doing all they conld to NOT IN RAILROAD WRECK. Mr. and' Mrs. Michael Justen Write as to Their Safety^ BALD MOUNTAIN, COLO., March 28, 1906. MR. AND MRS. FREUNO:--We received your letter yesterday and knowing how very worried you are about us we write you this letter to let you know we es­ caped the wreck and have reached here in safety. The train that was wrecked was ours, but, owing to a delay caused by a bridge being washed away, we were compelled to stop over for two days and two nights, thus missing the wreck. We left Lee Angeles at eight o'clock on the 13th, accompanied by a host, of friends^ who remained with us until the train left for Salt Lake. About half way between Los Angeles and Salt Lake the engineer noticed that several posts of a bridge were loose and stopped the train within six feet of the broken bridge, thns preventing an accident. The train was then backed to a small - ̂ ; t ^ FIRE Photo by Hllle. RUINS OF LAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

A call for help was sent to Elgiu, but ere the company from that city had reached Crystal Lake the brave fighters had the fire under control. The Ed. Long family, who occupied the second floor of the Fitzsimmons building, adjoining on the west, had a very narrow esoape from being burned to death. So rapidly did the fire spread that they had hardly time to drees, say nothing about saving any valuables. They w«re, indeed, fortunate in being awakened in the nick of time. Dr. Chamberlin and family, who occupied the second flat of the Besley drug store, as well as Dr. J. M. Larson, who had his office above Evanson's store, were all away at the time, which probably averted a more sad catastrophe. The loss sustained will probably reach in the neighborhood of $85,000. The lesers and estimated loes by each are as follows: W. C. Evanson. $18,000 G. W. Besley «,000 Dr. R. G. Chamberlin 1,000 Dr. J. M. Larson 8,000 N. A. Huemann 300 Henry Brefeld.... 250 Jos. W.

The build­ ings to be consumed were the store buildings of G. W. Besley, W. C. Ev­ anson, Mrs. Jos Fitzsimmons, occu­ pied by M. D. Weber as a saloon; the John Stroner shoe shop; cold storage and ice house in the rear of Evanson's store. The cold stoiage house had been used as a beer depot by Grot & Dam­ gard, who had just, recently pat in a carload of bottled beer. Messrs. Evanson and Besley are as yet undecided as to their future plans, but it has been rumored that they will rebuild. Don't Br«( Soeial.

On the sec­ ond evening a train arrived and we had to board it. onr former train returning to Los Angeles for more passengers. When the bridge was repaired we re­ sumed our journey, but in a short time came to a place where about two hun­ dred feet of track were washed out. This caused a second delay of one day. A new train arrived from Lios Angeles and brought passengers who boarded our train. Our journey now began in the mountainous region and it required two and three engines to pull the trains up tne steep grades. When we reached Utah we found ourselves in a dfesert and saw jack rabbits and ducks. The people on the train were jolly and. we didn't get lonesome. We reached Salt Lake City Sunday at two o'clock a. m., where we went to a hotel and got a bed. ' We left for Denver at eight o'clock a. m. and reached there two p. m. Mon­ day, the 18th. At 8:20 we left Denver for Bald Mountain and reached here at six o'clock Monday evening. Our jour­ ney from Denver was through the Col­ orado canyon, between high mountains, and the train was up so high we could look down on the town hundreds of feet below us. We both have heavy colds, but the weather is fine here. After a rest of a week or more we are going out to visit the places here among the mountains.
