Special to McHenry Plaindealer--This city is certainly a wonderful place, con­ taining some of the finest buildings tn be found in any city. The people are very kind and courte­ ous, tho a little inclined to sporta and pleasure. Pri&e fighting is indulged iu here a? much as bull fighting IK in El Paso. While in El Paso the other day a bull fight took place in which a Me*, can, poor foolish fellow, lost bis life A |20 bank note was placed between the bull's horns and anyone securing it might keep it for his own.

On New Year's day everybody in San Francisco oame down on Mission street tQ attend a prise fight. People here think no more of going to a prize fight than Illinois people do of going to church. Strange as it may seem, the lady passengers in the cars out here will arise and offer a gentleman her seat, something unusual in other cities. The U. S. postoffice here is one of the finest in the world. Chicago not ex­ cepted. The post office and government mint buildings were not materially dam­ aged by the earthquake, which seems very strange. We had the pleasure of visiting the mint, and were shown all thru by one of the guards, who showed us every step fiom the time the ore is received until the shiny coins come roll­ ing out. The capacity of this mint is |460,000 per boar. We were taken into a vault which we were informed held 1187,000,000 in gold coin. The nsdal amount ou hand is $420,000,000, all weighed and put up in sacks of $1,000. Every piece of money is carefully in­ spected by an expert, all defeotive piec­ es being melted over and recoined. There are in the United States besides this one, mints in New Orleans, Phila­ delphia and Denver. The San Francis­ co mint makes more coin than all ths others combined. CHAB. C. COLBY. Joseph Beadhaner. r>" Joseph Bendhauer passed away at the home of Frank Steinsdoerfer, near Volo, at 11:80 a. m., Tuesday, Jan. 7, at the advanced, age of ninety-seven years-. Mr. Bendhauer had been in ex­ cellent health for one of his years, and death came very suddenly, dropping dead at the wood pile while out for an armful of wood. He was born in Ger­ many and had been a resident of this country about forty years. He was well known in the vicinity where be died, having lived in the Steinsdoerfer home for nearly ten years. The funer­ al was held from the Volo German Cath­ olic church last Thursday. Grlawold Lake School R«1M(t Following are the names of the pupils who have been neither absent nor tardy during the school month ending Jan. 3: William Wright, Mildred Welch, Ger­ trude Gloeeen, George Scheid, Nellie Nichols, Marie Wright, Delia Scheid, Myrta Nichols, Willie Nichols, Mat Scbaid. Number of pupils enrolled, 19; average daily attendance, 14 KATE L. KNOX, Teacher. Notlee to K. of C. Knights of .Columbus will meet Sun­ day afternoon, Jan. 19, at 2 o'clock, in Stoffel's hall. Installation of officers will take place at this meeting and all members are requested to be present. Bring or send your news items to this office. We will be only too pleased to fvbUab then Car fph. cared for 240 patients during the year 1907. Out of this number only eight have died, while 151 were discharged as cured; forty-eight iert the institution in an improved condition and six were de­ clared incurable. The pupils of the Woodstock high school will about June 1 issue a year book of the Woodstock high school, the publication to be known as the "Blue and White." The book, to consist of 100 pages, will cc ntain the choicest lit­ erature, the finest cartoons and etch­ ings, a short history of the school in the past, a record of items of interest that took place during the year and many other items of interest. After two years of faithful service as secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Wood­ stock, C. H. Giesselbrecht has resigned his position. His place will be filled by D. A Johnston of Rockford. The State Bank of Woodstock* has applied $7,000 to its surplus fund dur­ ing the past year. This fnnd has now grown to $20,000, which, with a capital of $60,000, shows that institution to b$ without a peer in McHenry county. At a recent meeting of the Illinois State Teachers' association County Superintendent George W. Conn, Jr., was elected first vice pTeeident of that honorable body. Catholics of Marengo are Contemplat­ ing the erection of a $20,000 house of worship. The C. F. Hall company of Dundee recently distributed $606.96 among its twenty employes, the individual checks ranging from $2 to $92. This, with the dividend of over $400 declared in July, gives a total of over $1,000 which the firm has distributed among its employee during the past year. In presenting the checks, the firm announced that the sales for the year had been considerably iu excess of $100,000, showing a gain of $14,000 over the business of 1906, which up to that time had been the company's banner year. Conducting businees by the check system is the only up-to-date method and one good result of the panic will be to bring into more general use this way of doing business. If all grocery, hard­ ware and machinery bills are settled by check and these are filed away when re­ ceived from the bank there will never be any trouble about having to pay bills twice. Many a man trying to collect a bill has had to swallow his words when he has had a check presented to him with his own endorsement. A peculiar accident happened in St John's Lutheran church at Burlington on New Year's morning. Mrs. Wm. Runzler was occupying the rear pew in the church. Right back of the pew a line shield keeps the heat from the peo­ ple occupy in tf the pew. Mrs. Runzler leaned back in her seat and a celluloid comb she was wearing in her hair oame in contact with the sine. In a flash there was an explosion and the comb commenced to blaze, setting fire to her hair. Mrs. Runzler hastened from the seat and by-stand ers put ont the fire, but not until her hair bad been badly burned and the zcalp scorched. The unemployed men of Chicago who j are dependent upon charity for their daily bread are to be given a chance to work for their board and keep. The gen­ eral committee appointed by the United Charity societies met in Mayor Busee's office Wednesday and mapped out a plan to furnish work for the idle men. Hundreds of 'the idle men will begin on the work of cleaning the streets and alleys of the city. Those unable to work will be given medical attention and be eared for by the city. Those working will not /be permitted to work longer than one day at a time. As com penes tion they will receive three days' ra­ tions and lodging for the day s wurk. Tramps unwilling to work will be driv­ en from the city by the police. Eighteen million pounds of fish were taken from the Illinois river last year, netting fishermen over $600,000 and em­ ploying several thousand men. Grayslake Times; Last Thursday as Tony Dorfler was crossing the eleotric road at Libertyville with a wagon load of eggs his horses were struck by an ex­ press train on that road and one animal was killed outright, the other being so seriously injured aa to necessitate its being killed. Fortunately Mr. Dorfler was uninjured, but his wagon was bad­ ly wrecked and thirty dozen eggs were broken. v "That Shoot."' The target shoot at Bally-O'Gregg on January 14 was not strictly in accord­ ance with advertised tournaments, but waa a sociable gathering of sportsmen The shooters came from various local­ ities and the professionals were in the minority, the amateur element being weH represented and holding their own on good scores. The recent heavy fall of snow uaaue the country roads almost impassable and many were thereby pre­ vented from coming, and others arrived too late to shoot at a fair nnmber of targets. The Graham brothers, Ed and Jay, K. G. Hook and H. Stadtfeld had an all day experience, and eventually arrived at the club house about 8;80 p. IU , after a roundabout drive of some twenty odd miles. The Chicago mem­ bers of the Lily Lake Gun club and the Elgin Gun club made a fine showing and we hope to meet them again at a similar gathering in the future. While the targets were a great attraction the lunch counter was surrounded by a most appreciative crowd, and Chef John J. Buch was kept busy banding out the edibles that disappeared at a moat alarm ing rate. The score follows: Shot at Broke L. Q. Seng 125 96 W. F. Riley 126 88 N. HamoMll 185 87 L. Larsoitt < 105 96 D.

The seining has been going on industriously for the past three months, and some idea of the amount of work done and the number of carp contained in our nearby waters may be obtained from the following figures: Mr. Stilling tells us that 15,296 head of carp have been taken, 81,600 pounds have been sold and he still has about 50,000 pounds on hand. A few more seasons of euch good work ought to clear our lakee of these objectionable fish and make the game fishing again come up to the standard the Fox Lake region held yews ago. r ; Birthday Snrprte* Party About thirty-five friends of Miss Clara Stoffel made an unexpected but pleas­ ant call at her home last Saturday even­ ing and closed the day of her nineteenth birthday anniversary in a manner that will always be recalled with pleasure. The evening was passed as only a gath­ ering of happy young people know how, the various games, music, laughter and fun making the hours pass swiftly by. Refreshments were served at a late hour, after which the guests departed, wishing Miss Clara wa^ happy re­ turns of the day.

HCHMRR OM of Twelve Illukota Co*atl«a to 8*v« Now Bishop--Rlfht Hot. fetor J. Mnldoon Named. McHenry is included In a new Roman Catholic diooese--the bishopric of Rock- ford--which it is said has been created in the state of Illinois. The new diocese has been carved from the archdiocese of Chicago and a new bishop will soon be provided for it. He will have his cathed­ ral end residence in Rockford. There will be twelve counties In the new diocese. Their Catholic popula­ tion is 100,000. The counties are: Mc­ Henry, Kane, Kendall, Boone, DeKr.lb, Lee, Whiteside, Carrol!, Winnebago, Stephenson, Jo Daviess and Ogle. These twelve counties now form a part of the archdiocese of Chicago. It was at a meeting held recently at the home of Archbishop James E. Quig- ley, North State street and North ave­ nue, Chicago, that the plans for the new diocese of Rockford were made and agreed upon. Those present besides the archbishop were the three suffragan bishops of the state--J. L. Spaulding of l^oria, James Ryan of Alton and J. Janssen of Belleville. Among the larger citlea and towns in the new diocese will be Rockford, Ga­ lena, Dixon, Batavia, Aurora, Elgin, McHenry, Sycamore, DeKalb and Bel- videre. The next important step in the setting up of the diocese will be the selection of the names of candidatee for bishop to be recommended to Pope Pius X. Two lists of names will be sent to Rome. One list will be selected by the priests of the archbishop's council and the irremovable rectors resident within the limits of the proposed diocese. The sec­ ond list will be made up at a meeting of the archbishop and the bishops of Peor­ ia, Alton and Belleville; - The meeting of the bishops will he held after the meeting of the councilors and rectors. It is within the power of the bishops to select difterent names than those picked out by the meeting of priests, or they may ratify the selections of the latter. ' Right Rev. Peter J. Mutdooo, auxil­ iary bishop of the Chicago Roman Cath­ olic archdiocese, and Rev. Paul Rhode, pastor of St. Michael's Roman Catholic church of South Chicago will be the new bishop of Rookford and auxiliary bishop of Chicago, according to infor­ mation current in Roman Catholic church circles in Chioago Tuesday. Chicago for the place of auxiliary bish­ op of Chicago, and his formal appoint­ ment is expected to be announced wfth- in a short time. Rev. Father Rhode came to thfiTcoun­ try from Poland when a young man and has achieved marked success in his life work. He first studied at St. Ignatius' college in Chicago and took his theolog­ ical course at St, Mark's seminary in Baltimore. He is about 40 years of age and haa been stationed ia South Chicago for the past eight years. His church is at Eighty-second street and Bond av­ enue. MASONS INSTALL OFFICERS. Ptfitf of VntusiitM- Artlvtty - XrfMAl EdriMfcf XB Oh Monday evening the local lodge A. W. & A. M. held its annual installa­ tion of officers !n the lodge rooms in the McHenry bank building. The work of installation was per­ formed by Everett Hunter in a most impressive manner, and the brethren present were more than well repaid for being in attendance. After the work of installation the various newly installed officers were called upon for speeches and the re­ sponses were in every case well deliv­ ered and well received. Immediately following the speech making the entire assembly sat down to one of the most sumptuous banquets ever served In the local lodge hall. It goes without saying that it was enjoyed by one and all, a glance at the satisfied expressions on the faces of all attesting to that fact. The past year has been octe of unftsnal activity among the Masons of Mo&enry lodge No. 158 and the prospects for tha year 1908 are unusually bright. Dance at HtoflWi.

All items will be thankfully received. Are YOU Knocker? If not, get the habit. There are hundreds of ohanoes to knock against the mail order house. There are dosens of log­ ical points to argue from. Each business man sees some part of his businsss shaking under the strain of "lower prices and jest as good goods" so says the mail order advocator. Are yon going to sleep on and let this part of your busi­ ness burst under the strain, and witness its disappearance from your door? It's a hard proposition to get an old custom­ er back to your store if onoe he becomes dissatisfied or weaned away. Our formers today take the moat unfair view. They can­ not, or will not, in some instances, see that they are central­ izing capital in the larger cities, aiming blow after blow at their own little village. They cannot see that each blow aimed at it fails on their own beads as well, for capital cen­ tralized in the citlee brings bankruptcy to the village; bank­ ruptcy to the village brings depopulation; depopulation brings decrease in value of real estate; decrease in value of real es­ tate brings decrease in vahie of the surrounding farm land. Let all the farmers that surround a town buy every pos­ sible need from # mail order house for five years and it would either bankrupt or cause every businee man to go out of busi­ ness iu that town. Say that each farmer buys an average of $200 per year; that would make $1,000 for five years, say at a saving of 15 per cent under the home merchant's price. Allowing $20 A>r freight each farmer would save just $130 in five years. Say that the surrounding farm land would average to each farmer about 125 acres at a value of $75 an acre. Now, after ail have purchased exclusively all needs for five years of a mail order house we would find a bankrupt town. Such*conditions would decrease the value of his land $15 an acre at least, or a total decrease of $1,875. Now if they pat­ ronized their home merchant these five years with all proba­ bility their land would have increased in value $5 an acre, for prosperity and public improvements would have increased the value to such figures. 8o that 125 acres increased at an average of $5 per acre wonld be $625 increased value. #hich, added to the $1,875 lost value, would make a loss of $2,500. The farmer saved $ ISO by buying goods for five years from the mail order house so $2,500 less $180, which is $2,870, is the amount loet in trying to save $180. 0 " This is not an exaggerated example bnt would be an active fact if all men around yonr town were to send and mass their capital in the cities. Our home merchant can only ask a living profit It is al­ most an impossibility for any one to overcharge. There ex­ ists a schedule of prices which is almost universal in nearly all classes of merchandise. The mall order bonse does not help pay for oar pnbtto im­ provements and public buildings. It is the home merchant who helps pay for these. He may ask a little more for his products, but that little extra is thrown back to you more than ten fold by his liberal donations and contributions to most all public affairs and improvements. The home chant has yonr interests at hsart.. wt, then, ca* you other than hit? ttiii NUMBER 36 OUR WEEKLY PICK-UPS ITE)M8 PICKED UP ABOUT TOWft . DURING THE WEEK. Wh*SPao|»te are Dolsc to Tai .
