EXPERIENCES OUT WEST. C. O. tMfcy Writ** IuteroatlnctAtter For SUMMONED DEATH other day I chanced to meet a friend, who seemed very glad to see me, shook hands and asked if in my absence I ba*i been good and attended church on Son days. Of course my answer was in th< affirmative. Then he assed what de nomination. I told him we attended the Methodist, the Congregational. Bap tist, Christian Science, and named *ev eral other denominations "Well," he ys, "which denomination do you pre ferf They are all very good, -good people in all denominations. I told bim we were not as selfish sm tho little girl we met in Kansas City, whose parents e Baptists. She seemed to think that in order to reach heaven it would be necessary to be immersed as pa and sha had been. The girl had for her pets a mamma est and three baby kit i. So one day the thought came to her, The pets had not been baptized. She gets a pail of tepid water, takes it into the nursery and starts in to baptise the kitties. After that done, takes the wise old cat, Who looked surlily into the water, then stuck her claws into the girl's hands , jumped and ran away. The girl looked at. the baby kitties, then at the mamma kitty, and said, "Go, be a Presbyterian and go to hell!" In Los Angeles we met the Hon .".lodge B. N. Smith, once county judge of Mc­ Henry county. The judge is very pop uiar in that city, is looking fine, has served on the bench as judge in Los Angeles for the last twenty years, and if he lives will serve twenty years more. Smith is bale and hearty and very mnch pleased to meet bis friends. •> Mrs. Smith seems as cheerful and happy as a maid of sixteen. The following incident took place in San Francisco while we were there; Two men who looked like miners oame from the mountains, one having a grip which looked as tho it might contain a gold brick. As they went into a saloon a thug spied them and followed imme­ diately after. AB they Btepped np to the bar to get a drink the man jerked the satchel from the supposed miner's hand, ran ont and down street into an alley and out of sight. The» owner of the grip said that he did not like to lose his prize. Instead of a gold brick the satchel contained a large rattlesnake, brought in to be exhibited at the muse­ um. Is San Francisco rebuilding? It cer­ tainly is, «!ow!y hmi esrely. The peopl of San Francisco have more sand, or grit, than in any other city in the world. After the destruction of the city by earthquake and fire, and losing most all of their insurance, they have gone to work, by the help of Eastern men, and iu ten years' time will have one of the finest cities in the world. In the erection of the new city We find Eric Lang of New York taking a very active part. We also find John Went worth and F. T. Colby, two of McHen­ ry "s old time boys. Colby's residence is Clarenden and Peninsula avenues, Bur- lingame, Calif., twenty miles south of San Francisco, a most beautiful sum iner resort located on San Francisco bay. Here we find the polo grounds, where people from all over the world oome every year for amusement. Here we find the Orockers, Spreckles and many other noted people. Five miles south of San Francisco we find one of the Sussi c&ffiotenes to be found in North America. And why? Because it is a northern cemetery in tropical climate--the same every day in the year. This cemetery contains 250 acres and is named Cypress Lawn. The owest price of one burial spot for one person is $30, with perpetnal care. The price ranges from $30 up to several thousand dollars. There are fifty .pri vate vaults, a chapel and crematory. The grounds are strictly non sectarian, and if heaven can be found on earth it surely is in Cypress Lawn. At Oakland we fihd Edwin Owen, one of Mi-Henry's worthy sons, who is en gaged in business at 1018 Broadway. Edwin is always busy and carries a pleasant smile and will take the time to visit. Mr. Owen's business is in real estate. So when in Oakland, Calif., call and see Edwin. You will not regret it. From Oakland we go to Sacramento, the capital city of California, a beauti­ ful inland city with orange trees on every side, loaded with fruit, oranges on the trees and on the ground, free as the water in the brook. Here we visited the state capitoi, which has the finest grounds of any capitoi we had the pleasure of visiting. He we met the state librarian, Mr.' Fergusen, who was transferred from Norman, Okla, Mr. and Mrs. Fergnsen reside at 2511 V St., Sacramento. From Sacramento we took the South­ ern Pacific for Ogden. In the Sacra­ mento Valley we find a fine agricultural country, abounding with many sheep, cattle and horses, thousands on every side, a very prosperous country. Then we came into the Nevada mountain soenery, which certainly surpasses any­ thing seen on our entire trip. Our pen cannot describe the beauties to be seen on this trip. The Rockies are inferior to the Nevadas. Next the alkali lakes, then Salt Lake. We took the short cut across the trestle, which is very inter­ esting, as many of you know. At Salt TWO GOOD WOMEN ANSWER THE MASTER'S CALL. (Continued on Fifth Faga.) **"•• L> ,nm*n' Mother- of Mrs. 8. W. Smith of Ktugwood and Mn. Louisa C. Gates Called. Mrs. L. H. Inman died at the her daughter, Mi*. S. W. Smith, Ringwood, III., on April 20, 1908, at 3:30 a. in., of pneumonia after an illness of only seven days, at the age of 67 years, 8 months and 8 days. Sarah L. Inman was born near Watts- burg, Penn , Aug. 17, 1840. She w of English desceut. She was one of family of seven, of whom only two s ters remain, both living in Pennsylvan­ ia. as married to Lyman H. May 21. 1862. at Wattsburg. Penn. They lived near Wattsbnrg on a farm until 1868. When they moved to Leavenworth, Kan They lived at Leavenworth for two years, thence they moved toSabetba, Kan., wheie they lived until the death of Mr. Inman, which occurred April 9, 18#$ preceding his wife to the great beyond ten years, he having died at the age of fifty nine years. Mrs. Inman has spent the greater part of the past three years in Ringwood at the home of her daughter. The deceased received only a common district school education, the advan­ tages being few in her girlhood days. Mr. and Mrs. Inman were among the earlier setUers of Kansas, and endured many hardships. Mrs. Inman was always a devoted and loving wife and mother and was always ready to lend a helping hand to her neighbors and friends in time of tronble. Those who knew her best loved her most She joined the Methodist church in her girlhood and remained a member to her death. She had implicit faith in a blessed immortality until the summons came, wheu she was ready to meet her Master, and she bade farewell to earth's receding shores and sailed for a heaven­ ly port. She was most patient during her Ill­ ness, and her every want was supplied by her family. She was the mother of fiye children, three of whom, with two Bisters, sur­ vive her. She also leaves twelve grand­ children and two great-granddaughtem, besides many friends and neighbors to mourn ber absence. Her children's names are as follows: Orpha; John; Charles, Jesgie and Fred. Charles died in infancy and Orpba died March 3, 1889, leaving three little chil­ dren which Grandma tbok into her home and reared to manhood and wom­ anhood. There is no death 1 What seems so is transition; This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the lifeelysian, Whose portal we call Death. The funeral of Mrs. Inman was held in the Universalist church at Ringwood on the 22nd inst., conducted by the Rev. Arthur Roberts of McHenry, III. Mes­ datnes W. F. Gallaher and H. M. Chu- baroff sang several appropriate selec­ tions. Among those from a distance who attended the funeral were John and Fred Inman, both of Wichita, Kan.; Mrs. Blanche Brown and two daughters of Topeka, Kan., and Miss MaudeSchaf- fer of Chicago. Her three children were all present at the funeral, also seven of her grandchildren and both great-grand­ daughters. The body of the deceased was interred in Ringwood cemetery. CARD OF THANKS. We wish in this public manner to thank our neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us during our recent sad bereavement, MB, AND MRS. S W. SMITH & FAMILY. FRED INMAN. JOHN INMAN. MAUDE SCHAFFER. BLANCHE BROWN. of McHenry and here spent the most of her life since her first marriage. Those who had learned to know Mrs. Gates intimately found in her m traits of an exemplary character She had a deep sense of appreciation of noble and good, and failed not to give expression of those qualities when recognized in others acts of kindness and friendship. To those she loved she was kind and true. She was patriotic and was intelligently informed of public and national affairs. Expressive of her patriotic spirit, during the time' of the Civil war she solicited and sent many box38 of necessaries and luxuries to soldier boys. Mrs. Gates waa in her religious belief a Baptist and a member OF the church that was among the early religious or ganizations of McHenry, So long as it was active she was loyal and genera iu its support. Since its dissolution she had associated herself with the Meth­ odist church and in many ways helped it. Religion with her was an abiding e of obligation and duty and a source of comfort and hope unto the close of her life; With the eye of faith she looked beyond the grave and its darkness to the sunny highlands of heavenly rest, where she would meet the many who had gone on before. The funeral of Mrs. Gates was held from her home in McHenry Friday, April 23, at 2 p. m., the Revs. E. H. Beal, pastor of the Methodist church, and Rev. Arthur Roberts, pastor of the Universalist church, conducting the ser­ vices. Miss Ethel M. Strong of Barre, Vt., sang "Sun of My Soul," "Abide With Me" and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," the last song by request of the deceased. There were nov relatives of the deceased in attendance. A goodly u umber of friends and neighbors were present. Beautiful flowers were not lacking, expressions of sympathy and respect in which the deceased was held by her friends. Her bodj* was interred in the family lot in Woodland cemetery MRS FCOUI8A C GATES. Mm Louisa C. Gates was born in Massachusetts May 8, 1824, and died at McHenry, 111., April 21, 1908, aged 83 years, 11 months and 7 days. The cause of her death was the injuries sustained by a fall on th« ice last winter, which kept her confined to her bed ever since. Mrs. Gates was the seventh child of a family of eleven children by Mr. and Mrs. Alanson Holcomb. Her parents were natives of Connecticut and were married there. The Holcomb family lived for a time in the states of*Massachu- settsand New York before coming West. In the year of 1888 they (tame to Mc­ Henry county, IIL, and settled in the vicinity of Nippersink creek, where the eldest son, Wilson Holcomb, had come a year or two in advance and taken np a claim. Those comprising the neigh­ borhood families, in a few years follow­ ing tt»is settlement, were McCollum, Tuttle, Page, Boone, Jewel. Miss Louisa C. Holcomb was married to Nathan Strong Hait Nov. 7, 1841. Mr. Hait died Sept. 29, 1846. To this union were born two sons, Nathan S. and WilsonS. Nathan S. died in infancy and Wilson S. a few years ago. Mrs. Louisa C. Hait was married to Avery A. (iates Jan, 11, 1848, and who died about 1892. ' Two children, Ada- line and Frank W., were born to thi« onion, both of whom are dead. Mrs. Gates was among tba early aat- PISTAKFIE BAY. Mr. and Mrs. Barry Wilson of Chica­ go were at their summer home Satur­ day and Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McRoberts with their daughter, Miss Mildred, took din­ ner at the Kingsley House on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. F. B Edelman with their daughter, Miss Florence, were at their summer home at the Bay a few days last week. Among the guests registered at the Kingsley House on Saturday were the following officers of the Pistakee Yacht cinh: W. IP. Law ton, W. W. Holmes and W. S. Moore. Dr. R; Herrmann and family of Chi­ cago are spending a week at their sum­ mer home on Pistakee Island. It has been reported that the doctor contem­ plates building more cottages on his property. Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Herrmann of New York City were guests at the Kingsley House a few days last week. They now expect to spend about two weeks at their home on Pistakee Island before returning to the East. County Clerk Joseph F. Haas received another shipment of fancy bred stock for the Rohema Stock Farm last week The latest addition of note is a Berk­ shire sow, called Royal Bernice. Readers of The Plaindealer are invited to visit the Rohema Stock Farm and inspect the stock at any time. J. Maraviglia and P. Pachetti of Chi cago were at their summer home on Ideal Grove, Pistakee Bay, a few days last week. They have been making many improvements on their property A vineyard and fruit orchard have been started which adds greatly to its attrac tiveness and it can well be said the place has beau very properly named when it is called Ideal Grove. We are glad to announce to our many readers that the Palm Beach bridge has been completed. The bridge itself is 96 feet in length with<a 4-to 6 foot gravel tilling of 120 feat at either approach. It is a piece of construction worthy of ad­ miration The committee appointed to let the contract and superintend the building, Messrs. McKay, McRoberts, McBride and Ramage, devoted a great deal of time and attention in, having everything done in the most substantial way. These gentlemen are to be con­ gratulated for their efforts. The con­ tractor, Walter McLean, of Elgin can also feel proud of his work. While the bridge is a real necessity for the resi­ dents Palm Beach, it will also be a source of great convenience to our people in and ontside of McHenry township who may have occasion to drive to the Beach. Universalis Church. Rev. Arthur Roberta, pastor. Regu­ lar services next Sunday: Preaching at 10:30 a. m., Sunday school at 11:45 a. m. The pastor will have a special theme for sermon.

BASEBALL TEAM ORGANIZED. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES. AND I*«na I» Condensed Form For Con ience of Busy People. Mayor A. E. Price of Blgta has for­ mally announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for congress from the eleventh district. Elgin is to have its first flat building this summer. A Chicago capitalist will introduce the new structure to the noted city people at a cost of about *30.000. The ttarvard baseball team is a mem •r of a newly organized trolley league up of four teams and representing besides Harvard, the cities of JanesviUf, Beloit and Rockford. The unexpected release of an enor­ mous fly wheel from its position at the plant of the North Shore Electric Co , at Waukegan killed two men and in­ jured six others one day last week. The Northern Hydraulic Stone com­ pany is the name of the company which has been orgauized under the state laws for the purpose of manufacturing stone and blocks of cement at Marengo. Architects Turnbull and Jones of Elgin have made plans for a tabernacle at Barrington for the Barrington Park Camp Meeting association. It is to be a one-story, 64x87 foot, frame building, with concrete foundation, pine finish and maple floors. The aunual spring election at Wood­ stock last week proved a hot one as well as a severe jolt to three members of the city board who were up for re-election, but were defeated by a large majority. The voters at our county seat, or rather the majority of them, have been dissatis fied with the services of their city alder­ men for some time past and as a result all three gentlemen who were up for re-election were defeated. A Harvard man went home at a late hour Tuesday night, after hitting sev­ eral canteens. He reeled up the front steps and into the door of his home. The floor rolled under his feet and the stairs seemed to hit bim in the faee as he mounted them. When nearly at the top he lost his balance and rolled back to where he started from. After regain­ ing his feet once more he muttered: "Oh, Lord, pity the poor sailors out at sea in a storm like this." Harvard Independent: M. J. Sulli­ van of Hartland was figuring recently on sending some poultry to friends at Prescott, Arizona. He picked out seven chickens and three ducks, crated them and took them to Woodstock, where they were weighed and the freight figured out. The weight of the poultry was seventy-five pounds and when Mr. Sullivan found out that the freight from Woodstock to Prescott would cost him $10.43 be experienced a change of mind and concluded to let the aforesaid chickens and ducks ramble around the hills of Hartland for a while longer. Woodstock Sentinel: The new Spring­ field rifles which are to be issued to the Illinois national guard were received by the adjutant general at the state arsenal at Springfield recently. The work of issuing the guns will be com­ menced at once and it is expected that the local militiamen will receive the new weapons within a few days. As soon as the new guns have been received, the Krag-Joergenson rifle now in use will be packed up and shipped back to the national government and will later be issued to military schools to replace the old-style Springfield. The new style rifles have one-third more penetrating force than the Krags, may be loaded in one-fifth the time, are smaller and lighter and a better gun in every respect. The bullet will carry considerably farther than the Krag. With the new guns will come special Lelts for carry­ ing the loaded clips with which tha guns are loaded. Nunda Herald: Terra Cotta will get the power house of the Elgin, Wood­ stock and Lake Geneva electric road if W. P. Gates, superintendent of the American Terra Cotta & Ceramic Co. of Terra Cotta has anything to say in the matter. Strenuous efforts are be­ ing made by Mr. Gates to induce the directors of the road to locate the plant at Terra Cotta, and the question will probably be considered at a directors' meeting in the near future. So anxious is Mr. Gates to secure the location of the power plant that he has offered the company as much land as it might want for the site of the plant, the car barns, repair shops and yards. Mr. Gates' anxiety in the matter is cansed *by the fact that he sees an opportunity to get better and cheaper power than he now has in the large plant at Terra Cotta. He had a conference with several directors of the road Tuesday, at his factory, and tried to secure their definite assurance that they would lo­ cate the plant there. At the McHenry Pleasure elnb last Friday evening it was decided by a number of baseball players and others that had congregated there that Mc­ Henry will be represented on the base­ ball diamond this summer by a good local team. A team was organised am elected for the coming year as follows F. G. Schreiner, manager; Peter M. Jus- ten, secretary; W. G. Schreiner, treaa- L. F. Bending, captain. The team, according to present plans, will consist, with but one exception, of hoine players, a fact which will be, wi believe, approved of <joite generally The only position on the team that can not possibly be filled by local talent is that of catcher and the manager is now considering several candidates for that position. The balance of the team can be readily filled by local players. It is the intention of the clnb to play some of the best teams available in the surrounding towns and cities and when once started the great national game should again receive the attention that has been accorded it here in MoHenry during the years of 1905-06. At this time it is impossible for us to say just when the first game of the sea­ son will be pulled off, but the fans may rest assured that the opening date is not far distant. Hotel Under New Management. The Northwestern hotel and buffet, which during the past several years has been under the management of P. H. Weber, will, beginning tomorrow; Fri­ day, May 1, be conducted under a new management, Theo. Schiessle of Chicago being named as Mr. Weber's successor. Mr. Schiessle is by no means a stranger here as he and his estimable family have spent the past ten summers in McHenry and vicinity, the past few summers having been spent at Emerald Park where Mr. Schiessle has a summer home. The hotel aud saloon business is not a new one to the new proprietor as the past fifteen years of his life have been employed in this very line of work. He has successfully conducted the affairs of the Hotel Stockholm, 64 Chi­ cago Ave., Chicago, for some years, where he has acquainted himself with every detail connected with the opera­ tion of a successful hotel and buffet His estimable wife is also well qualified to the position that usually falls to the !o» of sl wife, !ii;r cooking always serving as a good draw­ ing caul in Chicago. Commercial and family trade is especially solicited and the new management gives us every assurance that all business that comes their way will receive! prompt and courteous attention. OUR NUMBER 45 WEEKLY PICK-UPS ITEMS PICKED UP ABOUT DURING THE WEEK. The first evident effect of ing was felt on the board of trade Mc day, when the price of butter turn! two and a half cents; the quotation corns* • mittee, after its session, aniwnntw) week's price as 26 1-2 cents. Some fine catches of silver and nd bull heads hav during the past week by local George Freand has resigned his posi- ; tionat the boat factory and la working at the carpenter's trade with his father. > The degree team of No. 270, Yeoman of America, recently inaugurated a class into the order at Ringwood. f:} The new school board at Ostend I* now composed of F.

Smith's hall, Johnsburgh, next Wednesday evening. The dance will be one of the ki-id that the young people around Johnsburgh and this vicinity so much enjoy and all those who turn out are assured of a splendid time. Chubaroff's Concert orchestra of this place will furnish the music, which is ample evidence of the best of music. Don 't forget the date, next Wednesday evening. May Party. The management extends a cordial in­ vitation to the general public to attend a May party to take place at the Mo­ Henry House hall on the evening of Friday, May 1. Floor committee: Mc­ Henry, John P. Weber; West McHenry, William Krause; Johnsburgh, William Tbiel; Ringwood, James L. Conway; Volo, Henry Stadfeld; Spring Grove, .Martin Smith; Wauconda, Piute Hough­ ton; Nunda, Fred Wille. Del Noonan's special orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion. Supper served in the hotel dining hall at 35 cents per plate,-- the kind that mother prepares. Every body turn ont, as there is a good time in store for all, rain or shine. The man­ agement heartily believes in the fact that enjoyment ifi part of life's necessi­ ty and therefore is preparing to enter­ tain one of the most jolly crowds that has ever gathered at this popular danc­ ing resort. If you have not been in the habit of attending these dances, get the habit, and you have our >assurance that you will never regret it. Horses Mid baggage cared for free of charge. Tick­ ets, 50 cents. New Plumbing Establishment. F. W. Page of Chicago has rented the Mrs. J. H. Spauiding building on the West Side and will open therein a first- class plumbing establishment. The proprietor of the new enterprise comes to McHeury with a gilt-edged reputa­ tion as to his capability and honesty. He has successfully conducted a like enterprise in the city of Chicago dnring the past eighteen years and will no doubt give bis patrons here the real worth of their money for any and all work entrusted in his care. Mr. Page is already in McHenry and doing busi­ ness, but bis stock and fixtures will not arrive until next week. He will con­ tinue his Chicago shop in connection with his local establishinent. A 8o«iaI Treat., The lady teachers of McHenry school by invitation met at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Roberts, Tuesday eveuiug, April 21st, and had a delight­ ful time of social merriment and en­ joyed a tasteful repast. Evidence of their good time was the early hour they disbanded for their homes--the next moruing. Not lee. I wish to announce that I am hack home and ready to take up nursing as usual. MRS.
