Miss Rubar* Wimteinaun Buy Be ed Timmiw of Or*k>r of By request of many of her McHenry friends and admirers we print the fol­ lowing clipping taken from the Elgin Courier: Elgin Courier, Saturday, Sept. 28: Miss Barbara Wiedemann of this city has just received the announcement that ber name has been placed on the ticket of the grand lodge of the Women's Catholic Order of Foresters which holds its annual convention in Detroit next week. The offiee*for which she has been offered the candidacy is that of high treasnrer and one which she is eminent ly fitted ro mi by several years' experi­ ence in tbe various «.ftices of tbe local St. Josephine court, W. C. O F., and by her career as a business women. At present Miss Wiedemann is record­ ing secretary of th« St. Josephine court and has held the office of tihief ranger. Miss V\ iedeiuann has tbe good wishes* of local Foresters and that she may tie selected for the office is tbe hope of all. Few Women could be better fitted for tbe position than is Miss Wiedemann. An expert stenographer and competent bookkeeper, she has had ten years' experience in office work. For tbe pa*t two years she has been associated with Mrs. Marion Foster Washbrtrue, tbe author, as private secretary Should she be selected, Miss Wiede maun will at once take the manage­ ment of the Chicago office, from which is directed the business of tbe Women's Catholic Order of Foresters thrnout the United States. She will have tbe assis tance of clerks in her work but will have complete control of business trans actions of tbe society. Miss Wiedemann wilt represent St. Josephine court at tbe convention and Mrs. I. C. Barney St. Regiua court. The convention opens on Tuesday and it is expected that 800 delegates will be present. Not only would the selection of the Elgiu woman be an honor to her­ self but also to the city which she repre sents. Among tbe several^ hundred lodges tbe distribution of high offices goes but a very little way and the selec­ tion of a grand officer is tbe occasion of general rejoicing in tbe court houoret*. Men high in the order stated today that the ticket upon which Miss Wiede­ mann's name appears is tbe favored one and will probably receive the majority vote. Last week Miss Wiedemann visited in Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha, where friends who had l«*rn««1 that she was to be a candidate for the office of treasurer of tbe grand lodge gave her the utmost encouragement. The Women's Catholic Order of For­ esters was founded twenty years ago in tbe city of Chicago by a group of prominent Catholic women. Courts are now located in almost every large city in tbe United States and Canada. There are more than 800 oourts with a mem bfrehlp of 55,080. A new assortment of elegant 10-oent goods at Vycital's hardware store. A Variety Shower. The home of Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Roberts was tbe scene of a very pleas­ ant social event last Friday evening when Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Holly were tendered a delightful] surprise in. the way of a variety fhower by a com­ pany of about fifty friends. Not an inkling of suspicion as to the plans of their friends was entertained by the happy pair and not until tbe snrprisers had made their presence knowu did either of tbe two become aware of tbe fact that they were to be made host and hostess at such a happy gathering. However, the bride and groom proved themselves equal to the occasion by making things very pleasant for their guests. Refreshments of Ice cream and cake marked tbe closing of a splendid time for all present. A large display of gifts was left by tbe company. Look for Gilberts' ad. on another P*g*- A .Surprise. Last Saturday evening at about 8:HO o'clock, a party of friends and neigh­ bors assembled at the borne of Mr. and Mrs. Jobu Reliban and gave them a genuine surprise. Mr. and Mrs. Reli- ban were in McHenry that evening and upon returning found their home in full possession of their friends. After Mr. and Mrs. Relihan recovered from the shock of the surprise, they entertained their friends most cordially, and, after a few hours spent in social amusement, (music and singing), a fine supper was served, which the ladies bad prepared for the occasion. At a late hour the guests departed for their homes feeling that they had spent an evening long to be remembered. for stoves and hardware call on J J. Vycital. Woman Postmaster Qulta »t Orty«l*k«.

N«w Vork, April 88. 1HK-C«nu> to Illinois in 1K.16. Mrs. Laura B. ^Kennedy. one of Mc­ Henry county's oldest as well as fiist. settler^, passed ueacefnlly awav at the home of her daughter, Mrs H C Mead, wheresbe had lived during the declin tug years of her life, on Wednesday noon. September lfi, 1908. She was boru in Wyoming connty, $. Y., April 22, 1817, and. came, with her parents, to McHenry. county, set tling near Richmond, 111., in 1836 The first years in those pioneer days were partly spent in teachiug school, her first school work being in the Montelona dis­ trict, where she received f1.25 per week for her services. Mrs. Kennedy was tbe daughter of Samuel Warner and was united in mar riage to Audrew J. Kennedy No vein l»er 24, 1&41. The early years of their wedded life were spent oo their farm tear Richmoud. From Richmond they moved into Wisconsin, which state they made their home for twelve years, nft i which they moved to Harvard, Neb., where they coutinued to reside for twenty five years Altout eight years tgo the venerable old couple removed to Illinois, passing tbe remainder of their lives with dutiful aud loving children. Mr Kennedy passed to the higher life three years ago last February. Altbo these years remaining for her to live wt#re strewn with comforts and blessed with the good use of her faculties, she louged to pass on with her life <*nn- panion, death'coming to her as a sweet relief. To ^'r. and Mrs. Kennedy were horn nine children, five daughters aud four sons. Two of the sons died in infancy, while one dnughter, Mrs. Emma Ball, has also joined the ranks of the depart­ ed ones Those living are as follows: Mrs. H: C. Mead of this place; Mrs. Hattie L. Blackman of Elgin; Mrs. Frank Parker of S|»encer. la ; Mrs. Lu- *11 a Moger of Harvard, Neb.; Elbert of Trevor, Wis , and Dorr A , of Wood­ stock. Besides, the children to mourn her departure there are nineteen grand­ children, nine great grand children and many friends. Mrs. Keunedy was'a wouiau beloved for her womanly graces and lovable character. None knew her bat to love her. Sbe was an ideal mother, wise and quick of sympathy and ready of service not only to those of the family circle but extended her helpfulness to those Within her reach. "Her gentle littnds were Ixisy evermore. With healing touch or helpful ti'inli'iness. Twas hers t^> lift, the tnirUen others l«>re. Her.so,«l reward the joy of usefulness." Mrs. Kenuedy united with the Bap­ tist church in early life, but her religious expressions were always broader than any creed and gave evidence that she always hold a charitable feeling for all. The funeral services of Mrs. Kennedy were held at the home of Mr H. C. Mead. The interment was in the fam­ ily lot at Richmond. Rev. Arthur Roberts, pastor of the Universalist church, conducted the rites. Those attending the funeral from a distance were: Mrs. Ad<*hiska Warner and sons, Edwin and Stauton, Mrs. Hattie Blackman, Mrs. Iva Davis, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Mead, Geo. W. Owen of Elgin; Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Kennedy of Trevor, Wis ; Mr. and Mrs. Dorr A. Kenuedy of Woodstock; Mrs. Hattie Dalton, of Hampshire, III.; Earl Trow of Genoa Junction, Wis. OAHI) OF THANKS.

The one year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Scholes, who reside east of this village, was quite severely bitten while playing with a pet Fox terrior dog Tuesday noon Before assistance could reach the child the dog had pene­ trated the child's face in twelve differ­ ent places. Dr. Wells of this place was at once summoned and dressed the little one's painful wounds. Just how serious the bites will prove is not known Imt it is ho(»ed that they will not prove fatal. The dog had always been a pet of tbe family and did not show tbe least sign of being mad. At this time the viotim is resting quite easily. For sick headache nee Masquelet's headache powders.

WoaM R« n Valuable Addition to Our Public .Scbm>r8tndlm. Give the girls a practical education and let them learn to cook and sew as well as to learn mathematics and com­ position. What a perplexing plight a girl is in wheu her mother is suddenly taken away and leaves her with all the cares of the household, if she has had no experience with them! What is she go­ ing to do when she has to plan and pre­ pare meals, which come three times a day, if sbe has never before cooked a meal in her lifet Her father would feel as one man did whostt wife died, and whose daughter was trying to conduct affairs as her mother had done but was finning house­ keeping » new and difficult task. When asked how he was getting along, he re­ plied: ' Sustn is managing as well as she can, but the cooking is hard on all of ua. Why, it's liKe being married over again." It is to be hoped that the girls in this community will never be placed in a similar predicament. The sootier they learn, the better; the greater the happi­ ness to the family. They may have a' home of their own some day and a previous knowledge of domestic science wiH save much worry and dissatisfac­ tion. The training in cooking school should give an understanding of the foods that Uave the most nourishment, and the best way to cook ttiein to make them most palatable and yet be of most use to tbe Itody. Since our happiness de­ pends on our health, and our health de- ;»ends principally upon the food we eat, is it not a very important qneetiou that »nr girls should lie tborolv trailed in their future work which is to promote the happiness and prosperity of tbe nation? ' We should realize how important and useful a girl can be to herself, to her family, aud to the community. Help her along and encourage her in her work by giving her a chance to learn cooking and serving. Other towns are talking of having hese subjects taught iu their schools We want our school tbe leading school in the county, so let us be the foremost tn installing domestic science in our schools. McHenry would not have to go away to secure an instructress as we already have a young lady in our midst wbo is in every way capable of taking charge of snch a department, the young lady in question being Miss Mae Spencer. The snhject of adding this important department to our school will undoubt­ edly be taken np by the board of educa­ tion nd *e sincerely hope that tbe new study will be added. For sick headache use Masquelet's headicbe powders Kl<l« in Auto, Then Walk. A good Joke is being told on three of McHenry's young men. It seems that, a short time ago an autoist while pass ing thru this village stopped to ask ttnrn the way to Liberty ville. The young men, who, by the way, proved a mist accommodating lot, weren't slow in telling the auto driver just bow to get there. One of the fellows who ap­ peared more inquisitive than the other two vPanted to know more fully the par­ ticulars of his intended trip and when told that he bad a little business to at­ tend to at the Lake county village and that he wonld be' back thru McHenry the young men accepted his hospitality by jumping into the auto for a little spin. Across tbe Fox river bridge they sped and before the boys bad time to realize how far they had gone the auto came to a sudden stop at a point midway between McHenry and Volo. It had dawned upon the <mind of tbe driver that he wonld have a load with­ out tbe boys on h«s way back and in­ formed the boys to that effect. Again the boys were not slow in catohing tbe hint and "piled" out, and with a merry ha! ha! the autoist waa 011 his way, with the boys, a most sorrowful looking lot, standing on the road. Well, it was up to tbe fellows to either "hike it" to town or sleep in the street, and again they were not slow in coming to the de cision that the former idea would be the better, but never again will they go out for a spin with a stranger. Tbe walk home thru the dust was highly enjoyed, nit. Now if there are some who want the particulars more fully, we would direct them to Joe Rothermel. Hand In Corn Binder. While operating a corn binder on his farm last Thursday, Joe Ahrens nar­ rowly escaped losing his left arm in tbe machine. A corn stalk had refused to take its natural course into the machine when Ahrens reached over with his left band to adjust it. la adjusting tbe Btalk his hand was caught in the work­ ing parts of the machine in such a man­ ner that be was perfectly helpless to free himself. His shouts for help were beard by D. E. Granger, wbo went to his assistance, and who, after several minutes' work, relieved tbe now almost exhausted man. Dr. .Wells was sum­ moned to the rescue and dressed tbe wounds, which, luckily, were not as serious as was first expected. Had the horses attached to the machine gone forward three or four feet, Ahrens would most assuredly suffered a dis­ membered arm. EXCHANGE CLEANINGS.

A movement is on foot at Spring Grove, backed by Alderman P. J.

Elgin Advocate: The work of install­ ing the machinery of the Tonic Stock Food company of Elgin, recently pur­ chased by Sawyer and Kelley of Hunt­ ley, is progressing rapidly this week. Five wagon loads of the product and of machinery were hauled to the Hunt­ ley mill from Elgiu this week and the plant will soon be in operation. The city officials of Elgin are prepar­ ing a list of habitual drunkards whose homes are in Elgin. These will be pub-1 lished and a list will be given each liquor dealer and one kept iu the police department office for public inspection. The lists to be sent to tbe saloons are to be placed in public view so that any person entering may inspect them. J. R.

At the Central. The great Bijou amusement show, which will beat the Central opera house on Sunday evening, Oct. 4. is consider ed by many to be the most ndyanced show of its kind ever seen in this conn try. The entertainment consists of abont a mtle of tbe most celebrated im ported and American moving pictures Many of.the films are features, hand colored, and the comedies are tbe clean est and best that can l>e had. In addi­ tion to the illustrated songs, which of course are an essential part of every moving pictnre show, Miss Pearl John­ son, a well-known lycentu entertainer, will furnish a number of pleasing specialties. While most moving pic­ tures are perfectly clear and easily un­ derstood, there are some more compli­ cated than others, and still some others in which the pantomime does not tell the story as clearly as it might. To overcome this and to enhance the inter­ est of the entertainment, the Bijou Amusement company has secured the services of Mr. W. M. Conway to lec­ ture and describe the pictures. The en­ tire performance is free from any ob­ jectionable featnres. The show is clean, sparkling with humor, and up to date iu every respect. The people of Mc­ Henry should not neglect the opportu­ nity to witness this exhibition. Prices, 15 and 25 cents. A Flue Herd of Cattle.

Several buyers had visited Mr. Aylward with the intentiou of buying the herd, but it remained for the Algonquin man to take them away. The herd was by far oue of the finest ever sold in this county.
