Dr. Carl Strueh of Chicago ha« de­ cided to bring his patients to the coun­ try, where he expects to accomplish far better results than in the smoky and dusty city. E. W. Howe is working hard to com­ plete the necessary cottages, while Wm Bacon is putting up the windmill and tank for the doctor. The institution, which will be com­ pleted by May 1 and known as Orchard Beach Sanitarium, is meant for the treatment of all obstinate diseases by means of natural methods, such as the water cure, sun and air baths, diet cures, physical oulture, rest cure, etc. The following diseases are treated at Dr. Carl Strueh's sanitarium: Heart disease, catarrh, asthma, dyspepsia and other diseases of the stomach and bow­ els, chronic constipation, hemorrhoids (piles), liver and kidney diseases, nerv- ous diseases (neurasthenia, insomnia, convulsions, paralysis, neuralgia, head­ aches, sciatica. St Vitus' dance, hypo­ chondria, hysteria, etc.), anaemia, gen­ eral debility, gout, rheumatism, diabe­ tes, obesity, drug-poisoning, rickets, whooping cough, hay fever, malaria, scrofulelcosis, female diseases, ageing prematurely, etc Dr. Straeh has studied at the Univer­ sities of Gottingen, Zurich and Muu- chen, and is well known in Chicago, where he has been a general practition­ er for ten years before he established his present sanitarium at 404 Belden avenue, Chicago, in 1897. He is a regular physician of standing atod a member of the Chicago Medical society, Illinois State Medical society, the American Medical association and the German Medical society. There are so very many patients who consider themselves incurable, because they rely too much upon drugging and think too little of Nature's powerful means o£ restoring the sick to health. IfDrStrueh has had such great suc­ cess with bis natural methods in the city, he will be surprised how much more the fine country air in McHenry will do for his patients. Will Go to Kurope. Dr. (1 H. Fegers, Sr., and Wm. Stof­ fel will leave New York City April 27 on the s'eamer "Pretoria" for Europe, to be gone two or three months. The former, while going abroad for a pleas­ ure trip, will also make his visit to the European coantries a beneficial one for his profession. He intends doing all the leading medical centers of Germany, France, Italy, England and possibly Ireland. The doctor believes that the trip will be one of great valne to him, both in an instructive as well as a rec­ reative way. * Mr. Stoffel's visit will be a purely business one, going in the in­ terests of the International Harvester company of Chicago, with which com­ pany he is employed. This will be Mr. Stoffel's second trip across the ocean of waters, having made a similar trip last summer. . Soelal Part jr.

Elgin News: President L. J. Wolf, Secretary Lang and General Manager Edwin C. Faber, of the Aurora, Elgin and Chicago railroad, were in this city this afternoon on a short tour of inspec­ tion. They arrived at 12 o'clock, and expected to leave this city at 3 o'clock for a trip on the new Elgin-Belvidere electric road, but were delayed by a hot box. "I simply wanted to take a trip over the new line," stated Mr. Wolf this afternoon. "I have never taken much of a ride on the new cars. Once 1 went about two miles out. This time Mr. Faber, Mr. Lang and my­ self plan to go to Belvidere, where we plan to 8top over for an hour. If we have time enough we will go on to Be- loit and Janesville, but I think this will be impossible." When asked about the proposed extension of the Carpenters- ville line to Crystal Lake, Mr. Wolf said: "It is only a question of time with us before we will extend north. The people in that locality are desirous of having a line thru their towns, and the officials are investigating the mat ter. It ha-> not yet been taken before the l oard of directors. It is hard to sell bonds at present, and it costemoa&f to build and operate a ra>lroad." +*|E PASSION PLAY ivea In an IUu»ir*t«l at ',St. Patrick'# Church. ' .. .

WORTHY MAN IS GALLED REV. JOHN C. GIESELER PASSES AWAY AT LENA, ILL. DoSeaioil WM Brother to MeMlanimi Geo. Meyertt and Chrln Hapten of Tlti*' Vil­ lage--Pawned Hoyhood l>ajr» Here. Our citizens were very much shocked last Friday morning upon learning ̂ he sad news announcing the death of Rev. John C. Gieseler, which occurred at his home in Lena, III., at about 10 o'clock last Thursday morning, April 4. Deceased was born at Des Plaines, 111/, April 15, 1887. At the age of five he^movad with his parents, Philip and Doifothy Gieseler, to this village. His parents, while residents of this place, cOndnclled a general store. Being of the good old Christian type, they later moved to Johnsburgh, IU^. so as to be able to give their children^ a good reli­ gions education in the Catholic faith. Thus ten or twelve years were divided between this place and Johnsburgh. After John C. had made his first holy communion the family moved onto a farm about four miles west of McHenry where they continued to reside for sev­ eral years. After making his first holy commun­ ion, the deceased spent a few years in the McHenry public school. It was always noticed by his parents that the son was an exceptionally bright scholar and that he also took great pride in •he exercising of his religious princi­ ples, his earnest wish from boyhood' being to become a priest. Altho bis parents were not blessed with riches, thra hard labor they saved enough to have their son's wishes fulfilled. To the great delight of the one who now occupies a seat in heaven, he began his priesthood preparations at the Sa­ cred Heart college at Watertown, Wis., in the fall of 1884, being seventeen years of age at the time. Here he passed two or three years in hard »nd faithful study. He next tirent to the Sacred Heart university at Notre Dame, where he event about seven years. ' He finished his studies at St. Francis, Wis.,and was ordained a priest by Bishop Katzer at Milwaukee, Wis., on Feb 2, 1898, the ordination taking place at Milwaukee on account of the illness of Archbishop Quiglev at the time. The following day, Feb. 8. 1898, ho read his first mass at St. John's Ger­ man Catholic church at Johnsburgh, III., the church being filled to^ Its ut­ most capacity on the occasion, His first three year* o( priesthood were spent as assistant priest at the cathcdral at Denver, Col. Being of a most sympathetic nature, especially toward the poor and hard working class, he was, at his own request, sent to Broken Bow, Neb., where he w IU- plished a work which has i tn„ nine* been credited to him in the good book of our Savior. Here amid a people of limited means and in a desolate oouutry he accomplished the best work of his career. He cain& to the people in that forlorn land as if sent direct from our Lord Himself, and it was not long be­ fore he bad become a loved one by the entire people of the town. His kind, loving, sympathetic nature seemed to come as a godsend, his ever ready, help­ ing hand constantly reaching out to those needing help. It was nafc long after bis arrival that the people began to feel coutented and happy, all brought forward thru the good deeds of the man who has (tone unto his final reward, but whose memory will last forever. He continued his good work at Broken Bow until his health forced him to leave, his departure causing great sor­ row among his parishioners, but no one could have regretted the departure more than he himself. It was nothing more than the guiding hand of Providence that took him to another clime for the rebuilding of his health. With this end in view he left a heart-broken congre­ gation to take up his abode at Knox- ville, Tenn., where he remained until the general con iition of his health al­ lowed the Resuming of his priesthood duties. _ ) Cortiimr* North, be took up several temporary charges in and around Chi­ cago until about ten years ago, when he was designated to take permanent charge of the Catholic church at Lena, 111., and at which place be continued to faithfully discharge his duties up to near the time of his death. In his death, the people of his parish at Lena lose a kind, true, faithful, cheer­ ful, hard working and sympathetic Father and leader, one whose place it will be hard to fill. The town loses one of its best and most highly esteemed citizens, while the world loses a man of sterling worth. Thru his careful guid­ ance and leadership the parish and chnrch property at Lena are now free from debt and the parishioners have every reason to look back with pride upon the work accomplished by this worthy man. The body was shipped to McHenry Satnrday evening and taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. Chris Hapke, where it was viewed by many during the following day. The funeral proces­ sion started from tbe house at 9:80 a. m. Monday morning, the last sad rites tak­ ing place at St. John's church at Johns- : burgh, where sole nnre iuiem high mass ! was celebrated. I he services, in which Bishop Muldoon of Chicago and twelve : priests took psrt, were tbe most impress- jivaever held in the staoiooa church. Dnring the mass Fr. Smith of Aurora acted as celebrant, Fr. Weber of Soma- nank as deacon and Fr. Bourke of Mc­ Henry as sub-deacon. The other priests at the altar were Revs. McSbane, Jen­ nings and Dunne of Chicago; Rode of Elgin; Wonlffe of Wauconda; Rempe bf Volo; Obrecht of McHenay, and Meh- ring and Beck of Johmbnrgh. The re­ mains were laid to rest beside those of his father and mother, who preceded him in death some time ago, the former passing away in 1895, while the latter passed away Sept. 14, 1908. Two sets of pall bearers carried the remains, the former being six of bis former parish­ ioners of Lena, while the second six were McHenry people. Two sermons were preached, one in German and the other in English. Rev. Fr. Weber of Somanauk was the first to speak, his address being in German. Rev. Weber gave a forceful as well aa pathetic sermon, covering the life of a priest, and espeoially giving the da* ceased great credit for the good work he had accomplished. The English ser­ mon was given by Bishop Muldoon of Chicago. His address, like that of the preceding speaker, also covered the life of a priest, and in words that were full of meaning and respect to the departed one, depicted tbe life of one of the most noble men that ever lived.' The deceased leaves three slaters and one brother, as follows: Mrs. G. Schuennemann of Wankegan, III.; Mrs. George Meyers and Mrs. Chris Hapke of this village, and Philip Gieseler of Chi- cago DROWNS AT GRASS LAKE. Patrolman John Rasehlnakl of Chicago Ia Drowned While Hnntlaff. While hunting for ducks on Grass lake, near Antioch, Sunday, Patrolman John Baschinski of the Chicago Hinman street police station was drowned as the boat in which he and two companions were rowing sank in the high rolling waves. In tbe boat with Officer Baschinski were his Bon, John, and William Clans- sen. When the boat sank these men swam to shore. Baschinski struggled to reach the shore, bat was 'carried down by the heavy sea. Baschinski and his party left Chicago Sunday morning for a day's recreation. They engaged a boat and paddled about safely for hours, taking turns ait the oars. ' The lake then became restless and the waves ran high. Clanssen and the son of the fated man urged Baschinski to turn iu for the day, but the old officer desired to stay on tbe water until even­ ing. Meanwhile the waves became higher ami higher, sweeping over the little ves­ sel Several heavy floods of water dashed into the Hi tie boat and the par­ ty began to run for the shore with all the force it could muster. Finally a heavy wave rose and came down with tnll force into the boat, sinking it. The three men began to swim for the shore* Tho the water was cold and the waves high the three men kept up their course steadily, Officer Baschinski a short distance behind tbe others. About 100 feet from tbe shore the elder man was Beized with cramps and could ko no farther. His companions hastened to his help, bnt he slipped out of their grasp and was drowned. The police of Antioch were notified and the lake was dragged until a late hour in the afternoon, but the body was not recovered. Officer Baschinski was oa the Chicago police force for twenty years and was known as one of the best men in tbe department. I'lnt of the KaaMin.

It is hardly necessary to introduce the famous Mahara Brothers to the theater going public as they have always been high in their estimate as first class pur­ veyors of minstrelsy and rag time opera for the past sixteen years.
