In another column of this paper ap­ pears the announcement of Attorney V. S. Luuiley of Woodstock as a candidate for state's attorney. Eight years ago Mr. Lumley left that office after filling it in an acceptable manner for four years. A majority of the voters at that time were in favor of giving him a sec­ ond term, but with no primary law it was impossible for him to secure the re nomination. Mr. Lumley proved himself a vigor­ ous prosecutor and conducted the office in a manner that was satisfactory to all. Mr. Lumley is a hustling, vigorous campaigner and will make a stroug run before the Republican voters for the nomination. Mr. Lumley has been a life long Re publican aud has done active campaign work for the Republican ticket in many campaigns. Shonld he receive the nom­ ination the people of this qounty can rest assured that no guilty man will escape proper punishment, as his reoent services in the case of The People vs. Newell Colby of this village proves that he has lost none of bis ability as a vig­ orous prosecutor Before buying a cook stove or heater see Vycital s line and get hie prices, tf Taxes!

The Harvard girls must be improving their leap year privileges as there were four weddings in that city last week. It coxt the Borden Milk Co $5,000 to transport its season's supply of ice from Twin Lakes to Marengo. Now that there isn't, money in milk. A houie talent minstrel at Grayslake, given for the benefit of the Grayslake Episcopal church, brought ont one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a show in that village, the total receipts being'$235 70. Fonr big timber wolves were killed by Jini Bender, an 'old trapper, near Liberty ville. After killing chickens and small live stock they were caught in traps. Old timers Hay they are the first wolves seen in Lake coonty in 35 years. A Grayslake young man is possessed of wonderful magnetic powers. The other day he cut a hole in the ice in the lake at that place, and almost imuiedi ately a pickerel weighing 20$ pounds "jumped" out of the hole and gave it­ self up for a fry. t Nnnda Herald: Great excitement was occasioned iu Crystal Lake Wed­ nesday evening, al>ont IS o'clock, by a rumor that the big plant of the A. T. C & C Co was burning Plans were l»eing uiade to rush help from town to fight the fire when another report gave the welcome tidings that the blaze was only incipient and was extinguished. It started from some birds' nests in the kiln chimneys, and was discovered by Night Watchman Jos Bliss He im­ mediately summoned help and water was thrown on the fire, extinguishing it before it had caused any damage The loss of this plant would be an irrepar­ able blow to our workingmen and the business interests of Crystal Lake and it was fortunate that the blaze had no chance to-spread. The factory is well equipped with a high pressure fire fight ingsystem, but it is hoped theVe will never be any cause to use it. Harvard herald: Michael Connell, the boy murderer, whose alarming ill­ ness was noted in The Herald last week, appears a trifle better this week, tho he is yet very sick, and the attending phy­ sician, Dr. E. V. Anderson, is not. cer­ tain whether he will pull thru without a run of the fever. The boy was in a weakened condition when taken to jail and he was on the verge of a collapse, which followed on the second day of his jail life. From that time he has re mainedfttotally indifferent to everything that takes place. Tho other prisoners are in the jail he pays no attention to them and has been i-n lied constantly since his second day in jail. Sheriff Wand rack expresses his wonderment, at how the boy lives on the slight rations he partakes of each day, which consist of a glass of milk two or three times a day and occasionally a slice of bread. There have been four or five persons permitted to see the boy aside from the attending physician, but to none of them has he spoken more than a few words, and these were uttered as if he were whispering. A complete collapse is the way to express Council's condi­ tion at this time; his temperature aver­ ages about 103$ and it is certain if be has a run of typhoid fever he will not be able to survive the ordeal, so weak­ ened is he in physical strength. His father called to see hiui last Thursday, and their meeting resulted in a com­ plete breakdown for the l>oy, who cried piteously as the father upbraided him for his wayward career and the com­ mitment of the crime to which he con­ fessed. After he saw the scene that fol­ lowed the sherriff has decided to refuse permission to see the boy until he is in better condition to stand such an ordeal. Sheriff Wandrack says that it is aston­ ishing the degree of curiosity that has bean aroused over the boy and every day people call at the jail and ask to see the youthftil murderer. Last Saturday the riff estimated that not less than 100 people called at the court bouse aud jail and asked permission to see the youth, who was not known to oue of those who made the request. Morbid curios­ ity was the sole motive that actuated so many people in asking to see the boy. A Fishing Party. A party of local fishers drove to Pis- takee Bay Tuesday to enjoy the first spring day's fishing. Their success was a glowing one for their first attempt of the season, as the party succeeded in landing one of the biggest catches ever taken from that body of water, when they landed the drenched form of Anton Engeln from the chilly waters of the* lake after he had taken an unintended plunge. Anton took the accident in the nature of a good joke, but says that maybe some day the laugh will be on someone other than himself.

In a quiet, contented and peaceful manner, at half past twelve o'clock last Wednesday afternoon, at the home of Johu Evanson in this village, Mrs. Her­ man N. Owen breathed her -lawt, her sotil passing to the glorious shore where happiness knows no end, there to re­ ceive her tiual reward for the i<ood she has accomplished on earth. Mrs. -Owen moved here from Chicago several months ago to spend her last days near the scenes that were always loved and cherished by her in her yonug- er days. Her demise was due to a gen­ eral breakdown incident to her advanced age. The family record having been lost the relatives of the deceased are depriv­ ed of the data concerning the deceased, but as near as can be ascertained she was born iu New York state nouie nine ty-seven years ago, When yet a young girl she, iu company with her parents came West, settling iu this villa^v where for many long years Hhe continued to reside. On December lf>, 1SIIN, Miss Dollie Bughee was united in marriage to Her man N. Owen. The union was tilessei with two children, one dying in itifaucy while the second, Mrs. H. 1) Luff, was called away last September. Her bus baud died in California thirty-five year ago. going to thpt state to regaiu hi lost health, passing away in IMoi, soon after reaching the sunny state. A few years after her husband's death the old homestead aud other real estat was disposed of and Mrs. Owen left, for Chicago, making her home in that plat until a few months ago, when she r< moved to McHenry as above stated. The deceased was one of those good pioneer,women, possessed of a kind and loving disposition, strong in mind, and possessing many other excellent traits of character: She was a devoted wife true mother and a genial tjeighltor and friend. In her younger days she took a great deal of interest in church and social functions, ever maintaining a high position iu the estimation of her brother and sister workers. The inueral services were held from the home of Johu Evanson at 10.80 o'clock last Friday morning, interment beiug in the family lot iu Woodland cemetery. Candidates For Yarlou* Town Offices To Re Named. MRS. ELIZABETH FAIR Passes Away at Home of Her Daughter at Kenosha, Wis. Mrs. Elizabeth Fair passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alice Phalin, at Kenosha, Wis., last Friday, March 6, 1908, aged about seventy years. The deceased was born in the state of Pennsylvania and came West when but a small child, settling in Lake coun ty, this state. Some forty six years ago she was married to John Fair, the cer­ emony having been performed iu Lake county. About sixteen years after her marriage she, with her husband aud only child, moved to McHenry, which place she called her home continuously up until about one year ago, when she went to Kenosha, Wis., to make her home with her datighter, her husband having preceded her across the dark riv­ er some years ago. Mrs. Fair was a„true, kind and indus­ trious woman, a res|>ected citizeu, being always held in the highest esteem by all wbo knew her. Besides a daughter aud four grand­ children she leaves two brothers and three sisters to mourn, all of whom, with the exceptiou of oue sister, who lives in New York state, reside in Lake county. Her remains were brought here from Kenosha last Sunday moruiug, the fu­ neral services being held from the Meth­ odist Episcopal church, the Rev. E. H. Beal performing the last sad rites. In­ terment took place in Woodland cem­ etery, beside that of her husbaud. Is Kiffhl learn Old. Four little friends of Master Harry Gallaber surprised that little man at the home of E. S. Wheeler last Thnrs day afternoon, the occasion being iu honor of the victim's eighth birthday anniversary. The event was enjoyed as only youngsters of that age know how, and a very pleasant time was had. At an appropriate hour a fine supper was served, to which all paid their heartiest respects. After leaving tokens of remembrance the jolly youngsters departed for their various homes, all pleased with the few social hours that Master Harry had afforded them. As will be noticed on another page of this issue, where the call appears, the annual town caucus or primary will be held at the village hall on Saturday, March 21, the polls to be open from one o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon. The offices to be filled this ye«r are those of town clerk, collector, commis­ sioner of highways and assessor. Thus far there is but one candidate for the office of town clerk, N. H. Petesch hav­ ing signified his willingness -to again become & candidate for that office. Mr? Petesch has filled the position in a fault­ less style for two consecutive years, and the very fact that he^had no competi­ tion at either caucus or election clearly demonstrates the fact that his services are being appreciated by the general public. For the office of commissioner of high­ ways two candidates are already in the field,, viz , John Boyle and John B. Young. The former has served the people in this capacity for several terms, while Mr, Young a new aspirant for the office. Either one of the two aspir­ ants for the office will, in our estima­ tion, make good officers and it is now left to the voters to decide who shall receive the nomination. For collector and assessor, John Nie- seu and John Kimball have already an­ nounced their candidacies, each being up for renomination. Candidates for offices should bear in mind that their names must be in this office no later than next Thursday even­ ing, thus assuring their appearance on the ballots which will lie printed the following day. Be it further under­ stood that under the new primary law such candidates will also be asked to pay for the printing of such ballots. FRANCHISE IS ACCEPTED. Electric Light People Are Almost Keady to Heglu Work Here. OUR WEEKLY PICK-UPS TEMS PICKED UP ABOUT TOWN DURING THE WEEK. The franchise granted to Messrs Paige and Howell of Chicago by the vil­ lage board for the construction and operation of an electric light plant in this village has been accepted by the Chicago gentlemen, thus assuring our citizens that they are coming. The promoters were in town again Tuesday night, handing in their accept­ ance to the village clerk. In a short iuterview with the gentlemen in ques­ tion a Plaindealer reporter was inform ed to that effect. In answer to a qnes tion regarding the purchase of the old line we were informed that no definite conclusion had been reached up to that time, the promoters stating that their olfer to the McHenry Light, Heat Power company for their line and poles had not been accepted and that unless terms were agreed upon within the next few days new poles and lities would be brought here shortly, the construction work to be pushed until completed. Messrs. Paige and Howell appear be straight, upright and energetic young men, and if their promises are fulfilled (and we have every reason to believe they will be) McHenry will have a light ing system which we may point to with the greatest pride. Whenkmce started, the men state, the work of construction will be completed within three months and possibly soon er. It is quite safe to state that electric lights will be illuminating our village by July first. QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
