After this she continued teaching for several years, the last year's school work being done in the W Dodstock graded schools. On April 34, 1895, she was united in marriage to William Bonslett, the cer­ emony being performed by Ihe late Father O'Neil at St. Patrick'* church, in McHenry, from which her funeral was held on Sunday, Nov. 17, 1907, her married life being a few days uiore than twelve years and six months, during which six children were born to glad­ den the home in which she was known as the truest of wives and fondest -of moth^p. She knew but one course in all her life, the nearest path of duty, and her children were reared from infancy in the love aod fear of Him to whom she ever turned as a friend in every hour of trial. Her husband, children, her home and her church--these were gver her special love and care, until disease drove her to seek for health in what was thought to be a better climate. Her husband spared nothing to give her an opportunity to regain her health; but Ottawa, Ashville and Denver proved no better than her own home, and death finally claimed her poor, tired body At the time of her death her husband Mia.

She was almost unwilling to be lieve death so near, but yielded to His will with the same fortitude which had marked her whole period of failing health, and almost in her last breath she exclaimed. "O God, Thy will be donel" She asked for a priest and fonnd that one was being summoned, »nd for her brother, Edward, whom the thought fnl husband bad also caused to be near, expiring less than au hoor later, peace fully, trustingly passing, we believe, to Him who gave her life and being. The home-coming was a sad one, the husband meeting the five young mother­ less children whose love, if aught conld hold, would have bound her to earth for their sakes. The funeral was held on Sunday frota the church in which she had been bap­ tised, confirmed and married, the last two sacraments named having been ad­ ministered by the late Reverend P. M. O'Neil; but death had claimed the old pastor, also, and to a younger minister of God, Father Bourke, fell the duty of reading the requiem mass, assisted by Fathers Philip Birk and Anthony Royer, and to speak a few words of consolation to the bereaved relatives and friends. Then all followed those who bore her to the grave near by, where the body was interred beside that of little baby Pauline, who had died in infancy, far­ ther none can go. Present at the funeral were three of her brothers, Frank, Patrick and Thorn- Edward being unable to come from Denver on account of poor health. Sympathy can not soothe the sorrow here, nor generous, warm love take off the chill of the narrow, deep, cold grave. Human hands and hearts are weak and powerless, and in God's care must we leave her whom we longed so to keep ever with her own. But death is pot a new remedy for earthly ills,--it comes to all, and all who live have yet to die A HlMellueont Assortment or News In Condenned Form For Conven­ ience of Buay People.

At the meeting of the State Federation of Women 's clubs at Port land, Mich., the other day a dozen of the clubs on one side challenged a dozen of the clubs on the other side to enter into a baby raising contest for the com ing year. The challenge was promptly accepted. The members of a single club ou one side insure at least eight babies during the coming year, while those on the other side feel sure of a dozen more.

The scheme is to get up a petition to ask the United States government to dredge out a channel from Grass lake thru to Lake Marie and then to Channel lake, which can be done at an expense not to exceed $15,000. The Fox river is navigable to Channel lake, bnt a passage is needed between the other lakes for the conven ience of the snmtuerers. Such a pas sage would materially iucrease the pop­ ularity of the resorts and facilitate con nections between the different villages Treasurer Ames will interest Mayor BU886 and others along Fox and other lake shores. BOAT TIPS AT PISTAKEE. Six I'htcacoani Nearly I<ote Lives In Waters of Pistakee Lake. ley BEHIND THE BARS At tka alollet Prison and Pictures. Latest Motion SIMON PARKER. With the grief attendant to the snd den death of Mrs. Caffery still fresh in their minds, the members of the Grang­ er family were cast under a cloud of grief for a second time by the death of Simon Parker, which oocurred at the home of Mrs. F. K. Granger last week Tuesday morning. His death can be attributed to no cause other than old age. The many long years had borne upon him to such a degree during the last twelve months that he grew weaker with each passing day, and while his death came as a sud­ den blow, it was not wholly unexpected. The venerable old gentleman, known to most of our people as "Uncle Simon," was a native of Vermont state, being born at Burlington, Vt., on August 2, 1830, making him seventy-seven years, three months and ten days of age at the time of his death, He came west with his parents and family when quite a young boy, settling in Illinois. When the War of the Rebellion broke out be was one of the first to tender his servic­ es, joining Battery B, Michigan Light "Behind the Bars at the Joliet Prison and the latest motion pictures, at the M. E. church, West McHenry, on Fri day evening, Nov. 29, under auspices of the Ladies' Aid society. Admission, 35 cents; children, 15 cents. "The illustrated lecture 'Behind the Bars at Joliet,' was given to a large and intelligent audience at the opera house Tuesday evening. Mr. Wetmore cer­ tainly has a grand entertainment. The effect is surprising, thrilling and in tensely impressive, and should be Been and heard by every man, woman and child in our state. No entertainment ever given in our city has received greater commendation from the public and should it ever come here again the opera house will be tested to its utmost to hold the people."--Atlas, Monmouth, 111. "It is more than an exposition of pris on life. It is a grand moral lesson for every man, woman and child in the city."--Inter Ocean, Chicago. Continued on Last Page. Stacker- Wela. At high noon Wednesday, in the pres ence of a few invited relatives and friends, Miss Clara Weis became the wife of Mr. John Stecker, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. A. Rob­ erts of the Universalist church. The wedding took place at the home of Mr and Mrs. O. Wolkos, the latter being the bride's mother, who reside near Ringwood. The bride wore a beauti­ ful gown of white and took the part most gracefully. The couple was at­ tended by Miss Jestie Wolkos and Geo. E. Adams. Mr. and Mrs. Stecker are well and favorably known by a host of friends thruout the vicinity in which they reside, who extend their best wishes. Pound Social. There will be a pound social at the M. E. parsonsage on Friday evening of this week. There will be a program, games and refreshments,. and a good time may be expected. Everyone is expected to bring a pound of something good. No one will be turned away for bringing more than a pound. Don't forget the date and place, and invite others to oome with you. Read The Plalndealar "want" ad*. Judge Lewis Rinaker of the Cook county court and five companions were nearly drowned in Pistakee Lake, near Fox Lake, by the capsizing of a boat. Judge Rinaker heroically assisted one of the men from the water to the bottom of the overturned boat. Then he and three others were rescued thru the brav­ ery of two of their number, who swam a mile to shore and obtained relief. Be­ sides Judge Rinaker there were in the party: John McKay, clerk in the coun­ ty court; Andrew McAnsh, head of Dwyar & Co., manufacturers of furni­ ture, 170 Wabash ave.: Frank Pasede- loup, chief deputy of Judge Rinaker's court; Knufce Peterson, wholesale liquor dealer ; Steven Revere, former alderman. All are members of the Cosmopolitan Gun clu'b The accident, which occurred Sunday, but news of which has just reached the frieuds of the victims, is the greatest of the kind on the bay since William Mil­ ler was drowned five years ago when a boat turned turtle not fifty feet from the scene of Sunday's mishap. Revere and Pasedeloup proved their mettle by swimming thru the chilly waters for a mile and returning with two boats and life Bavers to where their marooned companions were tossed about clingiug to the bottom of the capsized boat. The party was hunting docks at the time of the accident. The boat was heavily weighted down, bearing besides its passengers a large quantity of shells, several guus and some game. The lake was unusually rough. Two of the hunt­ ers suddeuly jumped np to shoot at a flock of docks that rose from the water a short distauce from them. The move­ ment caused the craft to overturn, and the six were precipitated into the cold waters of the lake. Judge Rinaker and McKay siezed hold of the boat and quickly turned their at­ tention to Peterson and McAnsh, who were floundering in the water in grave peril of being carried under by the weight of their water logged hunting c^»thes. They assisted them from the water to a place of temporary safety on the bottom of the overturned boat. In the meantime Revere tnrned and dove after a sinking gun and regained it. It was the only thing besides themselves that was saved. The fact that Revere later discovered that the gun belonged to Peterson was the cause of a laugh at his expense, and the circumstance that the boat was named the "Joker" caused another moment of merriment among the shivering castaways. The party returned to Chicago Sun­ day night. NUMBER THE BIGGEST WEEK YET MRS. MAYME LAMPHERE THIS WEEK LEADS CONTESTANTS THE LIGHTING QUESTION. Will the Polea and Wirea be From Our Streeta? Removed "Will the poles and wires of the elec­ tric light plant be removed from the streets of McHenry or will someone buy up the plant?" This is a question that is being heard almost daily, but up to this time a sat­ isfactory answer cannot and has not been obtained. The McHenry Electric Light, Heat & Power company has been officially noti­ fied as to the action of the board at their last special meeting and the public is watching with intense interest thestand that the company is to take. From time to time, since the failure of the above company, reports have been circulated to the effect that the plant had been disposed of, but all the reports tpken together proved of no more consequence than a row of pins. Again we have been informed that a party of Chicago capitalists are about to purchase the plant, but we do not want any of our readers to believe the report until it has been backed np by definite action. It is true that it would be a great shame to see the poles and wires remov­ ed from onr streets, but this will most assuredly occur unless the plant is dis posed of to some reliable person, firm or company. We are now all looking for something to happen, whether it be for the good or detriment of the village. In The Plaindealer'a Popular Voting Con- Mrs. T. H. Bethke'a Nauie, by Re­ quest, la Withdrawn From Coiftest. The last week has been the largest yet in The Plaindealer" Ladies' Popular Voting contest, and finds Mrs. Mayme Lamphere at the head of the list of con­ testants, her remarkable gain during the week also entitling her to the special prize of a $1.00 bottle of perfume offered by N. H. PeteBch in last week's issue. While the largest gain of the week goes to Mrs. Lamphere, the balance of the contestants have also made steady gains, as will be seen by the standing given below. Three new names have also been added to the list, indicating the great interest that is being aroused Do not think that a new contestant stands no show. The instance of Mrs. Lamphere, who has been in the contest but one week, plainly indicates the fact that all contestants have an equal op portunity to win the handsome prizes. The standing of the several contestants up to last night is as follows: Mrs. Mayme Lamphere 8294 Miss Theresa Barbian, McHenry 4462 Miss Julia M. Frennd, W.McHenry 2942 Miss Maude Schreiner, McHenry.. .2810 Miss Mayme Heitner, McHenry 1625 Miss Angela Petesch, McHenry 837 Miss Ii(»ie Pitzen, Pistakee Bay 800 Miss Katie Buch, McHeury 225 Miss Lillian Heitner, McHenjy. 150 By request we this week take the name of Mrs. T. H. Bethke from the list of contestants. We are indeed sorry to do this, as with her name go 795 votes, which must thus be thrown away. The rules of the contest plainly read that votes when once cast cannot be transferred. Again we wish to impress upon the minds of the public that under no cir­ cumstances will votes be transfeired. We desire to conduct th«s contest in a fair and impartial manner, so please do not ask usto transfer votes that have been cast. K«iiember, the contest runs five more weeks, ending at 5 o'clock Tues­ day, Dec. 81, The three prises to be given are now on display at N. A. Huemann's jewelry- store and may be seen at any time. The first prize, a ladies' $20 gold watch, Elgin movement, 20-year case, is a most handsome timepiece and goes to the lady having the highest number of votes at the close of the contest. The second prize, an elegant $17 East­ man kodak, modern and up. to date in every respect, will be presented to the lady ranking second in the contest, and the third prize, a solid gold ring with chip diamond setting, will be presented to the third highest contestant. Go to N. A. Huemann's jewelry store, con­ vince yourself that the prizes offered are well worth working for, and then cast your ballots for the lady of your choice. DOINGS AT PISTAKEE.

Keyes and Mrs. Kate Law­ rence, who have conducted the hotel in this village since last March, have de­ cided to retire from the business and will close the hotel Sunday. This ac tion on the part of the managers is not occasioned by any fault in the business, for they have enjoyed a liberal patron age since they opened the hostlery last spring, but the move has been necessi tated by the continued ill health of Mrs. Lawrence. During the time Mr and Mrs. Keyes and Mrs. Lawrence have been in charge of the local hotel they have conducted it in a manner that not only reflects credit upon them selves, but on the village as well, and the residents of Richmond as well ai the many patrons of the hotel will sin cerely regret to see them retire from the business. They expect to leave Rich­ mond the latter part of next week, when Mre. Lawrence will return to her home in McHenry, while Mr. and Mrs Keyes will go to Chicago, where Mr. Keyes has several good positions in view. •J Maraviglia and P.

They took diuner at the Kingsley House and re­ turned to McHenry in the afternoon. Mr. and Mre. Rogfer E. Appleyand of Chicago spent their honeymoon trip at the Kingsley House and returned to the city Wednesday. Mr. Appleyand, who is a member of the well known firm of L. H.
