PUIndmw PiwHttt OM «r the Spirited Primaries Rrer. r fCext Saturday. March 20, has i>een set aside by the McHenry Township committee as the da^ to placein nomi­ nation candidates f<MP>v town­ ship offices, election c * , take place on Tuesday, Apm 6. The offices to be filled this year are as follows: One supervisor, one town clerk, one commissioner of highways, one collector, one assessor, two justices of the peace, two constables. The pres­ ent office holders and whose terms ex­ pire this spriug are* Supemsqr, James C. Ladd; town clerk, N. H. Peteach; uouiaiisaioner of highways, Jacob R. Justen; collector, John Niesen; assessor, John Kimball; justice, H. C. Mead, E C. Haw ley; constables, John Walsh, C, tt Stephenson. For the office of supervisor the pres ent holder has again announced himself as a candidate for renomination and will have as a competitor/ Stephen H Freund. Mr. Ladd during his term in office has served the people efficiently and conservatively and will, no doubt, make a strong bid for renomination Stephen H. Frennd, whose business ability and general knowledge will make him a strong factor in the race, is doing considerable canvassing among his friends and from present indications we feel safe in predicting a close and ex citing race for the supervisors!)ip, Either one of the candidates is capable in every way of handling the affairs of said office. Peter M. Justen and dm. P. Harm sen are aspirants for the office of town clerk, N. H. Peteach the present incum­ bent having declined to again enter the race,. after having served the people fairly and honestly for t*o terms. Both of the above mentioned candidates are eligible young men and are working hard to win the honor. A close race is also anticipated for the office of commissioner of highways, the candidates for the office being Jacob R. Justen. who is at present serving the people in this capacity, and John H Freund, who has previously held the office. Both men are hustlers and will work to the last minute to win out. The collectorship race will lie between John Niesen and Henry F. Schaefer. Mr. Niesen has held the office for two terms and no fault has been found with his services. Mr. Schaefer, who, un­ fortunately, is a cripple, promises to fill the office to the best of his ability If nominated and elected. John W. Kimball has again an nounced himself a candidate for the office of assessor and thus far has no competition. The present incumbents 6f the offices of justices and constables are again up for renomination without the slightest sign of competition, and it now looks a» if these officers will have no -trouble in gaining their renomination. The polls will open at one o'clock p. m., and remain open until 5 p. m. thus giving all voters an opportunity to cast their votesfor the men of their choice As the ballots for the caucus will be printed tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, it will be absolutely necessary for all can­ didates wishing to have their names ap. pear on same to make their wants known either to the town N. H Petesch, or at The PJ"»«»»*^B»,r - office no later than tomorrow aon. It is further understood „aa ne cost of printing said ballots is to be paid by candidates for offiss - whess n&sses pear on said ballot. EXCHANGE GLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN MCHENRY ADJACENT COUNTIES.

During Mr: Schaffer*8 connection with the com­ pany he has served his employers in a satisfactory manner, thereby materially assisting the oil king in piling up his millions. The new manager, according to the North Crystal Lake Herald, is a man in whom reliance can be placed and will give a good account of hiuitelf. Mr. Schaffer will, in the future, be found in the blacksmith shop of hie brother, John W., where he is familiar­ ising himself with the idea of becoming a "village smithy." < Can This Be TrueT We below reproduce a nUpping taken from last week's Chicago Contactors' Journal: Depot: 1 story 183x21.8 $12.- 000, McHenry, 111.

E. S. of this place held a fare­ well reception at its meeting last Mon­ day evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. A. Burdo and Mrs. M. D. Ott, who left this week for their new homes in Mon tana. Nearly every member of the jrder was present to bid them good-by and wish them all kinds of good wishes. Fine refreshments closed the evening's session « Mlaeellaneona A.Mortuent «r Km I tenia In Condensed Form For Conven­ ience of Buny People. The entire force of the Oliver factory at Woodstock has begun working over­ time two nights a week. The Grayslake Canning company is now contracting its acreage for sweet corn for the coming season. Dr. J. E. Gny of Woodstock will leave April 1 for Europe to remain for the summer, taking a special course of study in Vienna. ' * Woodstock will have another rural route, making eight routes from that office. Free city delivery will also be established there in the near future. Frank Church, a young man from Richmond who left that place last week to accept a position in Indiana, was held up in Chicago and his savings of the past few months were all taken. Jonas Paulsen of Harvard was fatally burned while pumping air into the tank of a gasoline lighting ontfit in his store. The accident occurred Monday of last week and he died early Thursday morn­ ing. Miss Florence King, who served as supervisor of music in Woodstock and other McHenry county schools for sev­ eral years, is now an actress and the wife of an Italian count. She is mar­ ried to Couut Nyno B-»to of Naples, where she spent a year studying music. A gentleman who is evidently trying to square himself with the ladies who are past the blushing period, gives this defihition of an old maid: "An old maid is a woman who has not been fool enough to be fooled by every fool who has been fool eaough to foolishly try to fool her." Again Grayslake has an inspiration that there is to be a factory located there. Last week several men were there looking over the site. They represented a coffin company which is capitalized |35.000.00 and all they want is a site and a building. They will em­ ploy from 15 to 25 men on the start at tcood salary. Marengo's new city hall is now com­ pleted and fnrnished. It is a substan­ tial structure of gray pressed brick on a deep cement foundation, covers a ground space of 30x50 feet, is two stories high and has a high, dry basement. It is steam heated thrnout. The cost was $5,054 38 and there is no indebtedness outstanding, the building and furnish­ ings all being paid for. Charles Weter, a well known and respected citizen of Hebron, oommftted suicide by hanging himself in his barn Sunday of last week. He had been hav­ ing some trouble with the tenant on his farm over the manner in which it was conducted and it is supposed that brood­ ing over this cansed him to take his life. He was forty eight years old and leaves a wife and four daughters. The raise on advertising rates by the Curtis publications sets a new mark for magazine advertising prices. The rate is as follows: Ladies' Home Journal, $7 per line, $5,000 per inside page; inside cover pages, $5,500 and $7,000 for the back cover. Saturday Evening Post, $5 per line, $3,000 per inside page; inside cover, $3,300, and back covers, $3,600. Circulation, Journal, 1,800,000; Poet, 1,300,000. A young man by the name of Bert W. Harding was arrested at' Solon last week by Sheriff Waodrack. The prisoner was wanted at Seattle, Wash., on a charge of forgery and it is thought the offense is no minor affair as the expense iucurred by tracing him and returning him to Washington will amount to , which would not be expended for a petty crime. The young fellow denied that he is the man they were seeking, but he will be turned over to the author­ ities of Seattle. Mrs. William Reese of Lake Bluff saved the lives of two small boys in a runaway accident nine years ago and has just received word that one of the boys was the son of a wealthy Italian, but disguised as a newsboy at the time. The boy's gratitude stood the test of time and he made a will in which he arranged that all his personal property should go to the brave woman. The lad's life was lost in the recent earth­ quake in Messina and an agent has noti­ fied Mrs. Reese that he will call upon her for the transfer of property some time in April. Some of the members of the Grays­ lake Congregational church have been very much disturbed of late oyer the unkind act of Rev. Charles E Havener, their former pastor, who returned a china tea set which was given to him and his wife just before their departure to Nauvoo, III. Following the dishes was a letter stating that he could not use the dishes and asking that they might be turned over on anaccount he had left here. This certainly was the last straw and it seems a very crude and an unpardonable act upon his part and to add insult to injury as it were. It was noised about until it reached the h>tnds of the Waukegan and Chicago dailies, 'which wrote the matter up in ridiculous form and thus the city of Grayslake and citizens were dragged again before the lime by their former vastor, who was the central figure in the postoffice scandal last year. ^CHOOL REPOirf^ An Compiled by Oar Able CorfM ot Yeech- .

It is how an undeniable fact that the few enemies that Hon. Charles H. Don­ nelly of Woodstock has in McHenry county have set to work with the ex­ press intention of defeating this honored gentlemen in the coming judicial pri­ mary and election in his race for re­ election to the office of circuit judge of this, the seventeenth judicial district. As far as we are able to learn there cuit judge for twenty-four years before Judge Donnelly was elected twelve years ago and all of these years Lake county's legal business did not exceed that of McHenry. county. They say it is so far for Lake county people who desire court business transacted in vaca­ tion to go to Woodstock, forgetting that it is just as far for McHenry county people to go to Waukegan to have court business transacted in vacation time. There is no use in disguising the matter. The Whitney candidacy for circuit judge is backed, fathered and nurtured hi McHenry county by the enemies of Judge Donnelly, who is be ihg fought now as he was six years ago by C. P.

Petesch'• for drags. rV£ can not be one single assertion made against his services as circuit judge, in which capacity he has served the people in a fair, honest and impartial manner for many long years. The Plaindealer wishes to impress np- on the minds of the voters of McHenry township that they will make no mis­ take in casting one of the three votes to which they are entitled to this exem­ plary and honored, gentleman, Judge Charles H. Donnelly. In speaking of the present judicial race the Richmond Gazette speaks truthfully,in commenting on the' sub­ ject as follows: Judge Charles H, Donnelly is 5. candi­ date for lenomination to his present po­ sition as one of the three circuit judges in this, the seventeenth judicial circuit, which einbraceflrthe counties of Boone, Lake, McHenry and Winnebago. Three judges for the circuit will be nominated at the primaries to be held on Tuesday, April 13. The three incumbent judges are Charles H. Donnelly of Woodstock, Arthur H. Frost of Hockford and Robert W. Wright of Belvidere. Chas. Whit­ ney of Waukegan is also a candidate, as he was six years ago. McHenry county voters should take special interest in the primaries on April 13, and use their efforts to retain on the bench Judge Donnelly, as hels the first resident judge the county has bad for thirty years. It is important that the connty should retain represen­ tation on the circnit bench and we be­ lieve the voters Will do their duty in this respect by giving Judge Donnelly their hearty and united support. Circuit court judges are not frequent­ ly retired, especially when their records ooinmand respect and indorsement, as is the case of Jndge Donnelly, whose honesty, efficiency and uprightness on the bench has not been called into ac­ count during his twelve years" service thereon, and it is certain he will receive strong support in this part of the coun­ ty, where he is well known and com­ mended for his record as jurist and his worth as a citizen. In bis campaign for renomination tie has the indorsement of the bar of the district, every practicing attorney in the counties of Boone and Winnebago and every attorney in McHenry county, save four, having united irk a letter ask­ ing for the renomination of Judges Don­ nelly, Frost and Wright. A bar in­ dorsement carries with it much weight, because it is an expression of sentiment on the part of those who come into close relations with the trial judge. T.bey know his ability, his integrity and his qualifications and knowing these are mnch better able to act in the matter than are the ordinary run of laymen. No one so far as we can ascertain, ex­ cept a few personal enemies of Judge Donnelly at. Woodstock, are opposing his renomination and these men appear as the leaders in support of Mr. Whit­ ney, the Lake county candidate for judge. Their argument is that Lake county is entitled to a place on the bench, yet they are for the other judicial candidates who are Berving on the bench with Judge Donnelly. Their desire for fairness is to give a place on the beuch to Lake county and leave McHenry county'without a resident judge, stating thrn their literary bureau at Woodstock that it is only fair to give Lake a judge, forgetting tint Lake connty bad a dr- become exhausted traveling from there to Woodstock, hut he does not seem to care if McHenry county people become stranded in traveling from tbls oonnty to Waukegan. It is a thin argument, and it will not work. Judge Donnelly deserves renomination and re-election and so do Judge Frost and Jtidge Wright. "They have made excellent records and the voters of this circnit should retain them on the bench. Critically perfect for critioki buyeM-- our buggies. Wm. Stoffel. Leave For Montana. This week saw the departure of two McHenry families, muuwly, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Ott, Mr. and Mrs. A. Butdo and the tatter's father, Mr. Force, for Judith Gap, Mont., where they have taken up homesteads. Messrs. Ott and Burdo are both wide awake young men, and if luck breaks any where near even with them in the Northwest they will (at least we sincerely hope so) return home with the coin. The Ott family has made McHenry its home during the past five and one-half years, Mr. Ott be­ ing employed at thd Barbiaq Bros, cigar factory during all this time. Mr. and Mra. Burdo have resided here about three years, the former having charge of the long distance telephone com­ pany's interest in this district While our people very much regret the loss of these two estimable families, the wishes of success and prosperity from their friends here will accompany them to their new home.

She was brought to McHenry county, Illinois, in 1848, by her parents, who settled on a farm, where she was reared and lived contig­ uously, except for one year's absence to the old home in New York, and a fciW terms spent in academies near home, until her marriage in 1865 to Frank B. Doran. In 1881 she wait to St. Paul with husband and three young sons. In there was born to her a daughter, mak­ ing four children, all of whom survive to mourn the loss of a mother, who has few equals. Precocious in school she was equally so in household accomplishments at an early age. Her capacity for accom­ plishment in whatever she set her hand to do, seemed prodigious, as she ap­ peared frail of stature and health, bat her associates were often filled with wonder lit be? power of at the directness of her efforts either in household duties or in charitable m- x deavor.

Conscious oitly of a desire to do justice to her family, her acquaintances and to the worthy needy with whom she came in contact, she had no thought ever of exploiting her innumerable acts of kindness and relief to the need} when such ones were proven to be worthy. Perhaps that same conscion^uese^flf right doing made her somewhat doubt­ ful of duty as( defined by strict adher­ ence to churchly observations. < Broad in her tolerance of human weaknesses a firm believer in the Great Father of all, she was firmly established in the faith of a final re.si;»uitiou,<>f all men to the favor of a Universal Father of men- kind. Human obligation was her creed, and by that ebe was willing to be judged of men and was aettled in the conviction that no purer Christianity need be sought. Thus thru the agony she en­ dured for so many months she met. aH h»r afflictions with the greatest forti­ tude and approached the dark waters of human oblivion without a shadow of fear for the future, and with a resigna­ tion that was sublime. Her family has suffered an irreparable loss, but rest in the full confidence that their loes is her great gain*~even that of eternal bliss. They believe that if rite lacked in observance of churchly weeds her life and example exhibit a creed worthy of emulation. But she is gone and will not return to tis.
