He and his wife were driving home with a load of grain and when nearing- the river bridge the driver was forced to take to the siding to .let another rig pass by. Upon turning-to the main road the seat, which was placed on top of the grain bags, suddenly tilted to one side, throw­ ing Mr. Wegener to the ground, strik­ ing his head and shoulder against the wheel as he fell. The victim of the accident was at once picked up by those who happened to be near the scene and he was taken into Buch's hotel in an unconscious condition. Dr. D, G. Wells was at once called and it was ten or fifteen minutes after the doctor's ar­ rival before the unfortunate man was revived. Upon examination it was found that bis right shoulder had been sprained, his back injured and his right ear nearly cnt off in the fall. His wounds were at once carefully dressed by the doctor and later on he was taken to his home.

Air Ship at Recent County Fair Has Made Several Successful Flights. To Close at Klgbt O'clock, We, the undersigned dealers within the corporation of McHenry, 111., here­ by agree to close our places of business at eight o'clock p. m., excepting Satur­ day evenings, beginning Monday, Octo­ ber 1. Signed: John Evanson M.J. Walsh F. A. Bohlande* F. L. McOmber John Stoffel Block & Bethke Gilbert Bros. Qfc Anton Schneider ' N. J. Jnsten 'Jacob Justen J. J. Vycital Notlee! To insure publication in The Plain- dealer copy must be in the office no later than Wednesday noon of each week. Advertisers, especially, are asked to take particular notice to this effect The story which has been circulated that the airship which was engaged to make flights at our recent fair was a fake, had never made flights and did not intend to do so, seems to have gained some credence, much to our sur­ prise, as any such arrangement or in­ tention would be ridiculous from any sensible business point of view. The fair officials; wishing to secure something new and unique in the way of free attractions, and knowing that successful airship flights had been made at St Louis, Chicago and various other parts of the country, decided to arrange with some aeronaut to make the at­ tempt at Woodstock. Bodkin's airship, Columbia, was se­ lected as the one most likely to meet their expectations. When testing the machinery in preparing for a flight at Woodstock it was discovered that the main shaft to the engine was broken and altho every effort was made to have it repaired aud replaced for a flight on Friday it could not be done. The fact that this airship was not a fake and that we had a right to expect an ascension under favorable conditions at Woodstock is evidenced by the fact that this airship had made successful flights from Harvey, 111., June 24, and from Clinton, la., July 4 An account of the ©ight. miles from Clinton is given in the Clinton papers of July 5. The flight of twenty-two miles from Harvey is* fully described in a long article in the Chicago Inter Ocean of June 25. A copy of the Inter Ocean containing thiB article is in the hands of Fremont Hoy and may be seen by imy who desire at his office in Woodstock. The story that the framework of the airship is weak and flimsy and put to­ gether with a few nails and string is refuted by the fact that at Oconto, Wis., the week after our fair, it not only carried Captain Matterly high up in the air but sustained his weight for 24 hours in the long flight over Lake Michigan. The contract between the association and the airship people waB mads in good faith and they regretted tbe mis­ hap ae much as we did. We trust that this brief explanotion is all that is neo- essary to convince the people that the owners of the airship, as well as the fair officials, acted in good faith. • Signed William Desmond, president. M. Zimplemann, vice president George A. Hunt, secretary. Fremont Hoy, treasurer. A Birthday Party. A party was given at the home of Josephine Worts on Monday evening, in honor of her eighth birthday.

Jay VanSlyke, Founder of The PtU'ilfMMiter Passes Away on Sunday, September 83, 1S06, After Long Illness. The Plaindealer readers will, no doubt, be very much shocked to learn that J. Van Slyke. founder, and for nearly twenty-four years, editor and proprietor of this paper, passed away at his borne at Gooveneur, N. Y., on Sunday, September 23, after a long ill­ ness. The deceased was born at Ogdens- burg, New York, August 21,1887, a son of Jesse M. and Frances Van Slyke, his father being a native of Germany and his mother of Irish descent. Our sub­ ject attended school until eleven years of age and then went into a printing office and served an apprenticeship of three years. He worked a year and one- half in the office after his term as ap­ prentice was over and then went to Sackett's Harbor, where he remained a year. When seventeen years of age he was employed as captain's clerk on the steamer, Black Hawk, going to China, California, around Cape Horn and thence home. His next move was to Boston, where be was employed on the Dally Traveler as printer and reporter for three and one-half yean, when he went to Watertown, N. Y., and from there, in 1858, to Canton, N. Y., where he was foreman of the Canton Plain- dealer until 1861, when he bought the paper and published it for eight suc­ cessive years. In 1869 he sold his paper and bought the Gloversville, N. Y., Standard. A year later he came to Illinois, buying a half interest in the Clinton Public, which be sold in 1870, and came to McHenry county, settling at Woodstock. For five years he was associate editor and business manager of the Woodstock Sentinel. In 1875, Mr. Vafl Slyke came to Mc­ Henry, where he founded the McHenry Plaindealer, the first number being is­ sued August 4, 1875. He published the Plaindealer for nearly twenty-four years, selling the paper to the present owners about eight years ago. From McHenry he went,to Algonquin, where he started the Algonquin Citisen. He remained in Algonquin but a short time, as the field was too small to sup­ port a paper. He then went back East, settling at Ithaca, N. Y,, and later moved to Gouveneur, where he passed away. During his residenoe in McHenry he. thru his energy and thrift, held several important positions, serving in the capacity of member of the school board, village clerk, and at one time was post­ master here. He was an able and ready writer, as every department of his pub­ lications always bore witness. He was twice married, tbe first time on November 27, 1858, to Miss Rachel Mills of New York. To the union were born four children, all of whom are now dead, with the exception of Jesse M who resides at Lake Forest, 111. His first wife passed away about sixteen years ago, her death taking place while the family resided here. A few years after the death of his first wife he was again married, his second wife being Miss Barbara Mills, who, with a daugh­ ter and son, survive him. Three M.'s Surprise. Miss Frances Buss was the victim of a birthday surprise tendered her by the M. M. M. club, of which she is a mem­ ber, at her home last Tuesday evening, the event being her twentieth birthday anniversary. It is needless to say there was "something doing" from the mo­ ment the surprisers took possession of their victim's home until the farewell hour had arrived. The club is com­ posed of twelve girls who believe in having a good time when the opportun­ ity presents itself, and none were dis­ appointed last Tuesday evening. Miss Buss, altho not quite prepared for the company when they arrived, after fully recovering from the shock which nasal­ ly follows such sadden appearances, was not long in preparing for the even­ ing's entertainment. After a few social hoars the company partook of some tempting refreshments, at the conclu­ sion of which all departed for their homes, wishing their hostess many hap­ py returns of the day.

VyaitaL The State Fish Commissioner has been notified to the effect that there are some people in this immediate vicinity who are making a practice of taking fish from the waters of Fox river near the new dam without the use of a line or hook. The parties are well known to the commissioner and the only reason that he has not made any arrests is that he believed the parties were ignorant of the law governing the catching of fish. To givf the offenders a fair warning the commissioner has sent us, thru his representative, the following law, gov­ erning the catching of fish, for publica­ tion and should the acts be repeated the guilty one will be forced to stand the consequences: FISH LAWS OF ILLINOIS.

There will be no preaching at the Methodist church next Sunday on ae- > count of the pastor, Rev. E. H. Beal, being in attendance at the conference in Chicago. Epworth league service and Sunday school will take plaoe at the usual houra. Our attention has been brought to the fact that our youngsters, and many of the older ones as well, are forming a habit of using profane language on the streets and in public places as well. Many complaints have been made dur­ ing the past week and a stop should be pnt to it at once. A slight change has been made In the North-Wee tern time table, whereby two trains have been taken off the schedule, viz., the 7:12 to Chicago Mon­ day morning and the 2:37 Saturday train from Chicago. The public should place this notice in their memorandum book lest they might miss the regular trains. Upon opening the doors in the boiler leading to the flues, at the canning fac­ tory one day last week, George, Woods, the engineer at the plant, found a beau­ tiful carrier pigeon lying dead in front of the doors. The pigeon carried around its foot a small ring upon which was engraved, "E. Z. 46650." The pigeon^ undoubtedly fell into the smoke stack in its flight and was left there to meet its fate. People who write things which they wonld like to see printed in a news­ paper should bear in mind that what they write as their personal opinion should be fathered by them, and when they write stuff that is not fit for them to attach their names to it should never be printed.
