Oap «f the best attractions of the season will be at the Central opera house on next Sunday night, when th* musical show, "The Typewriter Girl," is to ap­ pear. 'Tis said that a musical play can always be judged by its song hits. If that be true, "The Typewriter Girl" is of a high order, for it has ten trig hits-- the real "whistly" kind that will be beard on the streets for months after­ wards. Miss Elsie Tray nor, of Prince of Pilsen fame, has the part of the Girl and the principal comedy roles are taken by Bruce Miller and Frank Luverne, with the supporting company fully np to all requirements. The costuming is also said to be exceptionally good and of the very latest style. Popular prices are to be .charged and reserved eeate are now on sale. Week End Club. The members of the Week End club entertained their gentlemen friends at the home of Miss Zue Gallaher last Saturday evening and a delightful time was had by all. Progressive cinch was the chief source of recreation and wae highly enjoyed by all. Miss jUllian Wheeler and Will Gallaher, Jr., won tbe ladies' and gents' first priss, while Miss Irene McOmber and Chancey Harrison were awarded the consola tions. Refreshments were served.

Philpot won the Marathon walking race at tbe Coliseum iu Elgin last Wednesday evening, covering the distance of 26 miles and 885 yards in 5 hours, 4 minutes and 80 seconds.

Antioch News: While huntiug at Deer lake Saturday last Arnie Biglow and Lawrence Hoffman report having scared up a flock of six swans. Later G. Thayer reported having seen them also. It is very rarely that swan are seen in this vicinity. A majority of the farmsrs in the vicin­ ity of Elgin who raised sugar beets the past season have abandoned the crop this year as unprofitable. It is thought that if the farmers were not running large dairies also and could devote more attention to tbe beets they might pay. The filler coaster for Trot$ park in Elgin will have a track three quarters of a mile in length and is the largest yet made by the Chicago Roller Coaster company. It will be necessary to change the course of some of the water running inland to aooommodate the large struc­ ture. The Volo creamery is reported to be extra boey now as tbe patrons of tbe Round Lake factory are bringing their milk to Volo, tbe Round Lake factory not paying the prices wanted by the farmers. Merchants in general are feeling the benefit of the increase of the Volo patronage. Mrs. George C. Brown, who lives near Marengo, attempted suicide one day recently by cutting her throat with a butcher knife, severing the windpipe. Fortunately the jugular vein was not severed, and altho in a critical condition there is strong hope that she may re­ cover. There is no question that she was temporarily deranged at tbe time of the deed, but her mental faculties are again in normal condition and she is now doing everything in her own power to>get well. While cleaning the drain tile in tbe bottom of one of the cells in the jail at Crystal Lake, Marshal Henderson found a silver watch which was stolen from Albert Jeschke last fall, and which was bidden there by the thief. Officers are quite certain that a young hobo whom Marshal Henderson had arrested on sua picion was the thief, but a thoro search failed to produce it. It is supposed he "hid the watch in his shoe and then dropped it in the drain to avoid a sen- trace for larceny. Charles Skinfcle, a well known resi­ dent of Richmond, attempted euicide by shooting early Monday morning of lasjt week. Domestic affairs bad not been running smoothly of late and continuous brooding over the matter is supposed to have prompted the act The wound was not serious, and as his actions showed that he was mentally deranged be was taken to Woodstock the same evening and given a hearing before Judge Smiley. The jury returned a verdict of alcoholic insanity and he was later taken to the insane hospital at Elgin for treatment. Hunters in the Fox Lake "region are bringing in rather small kills of dncks. One noticeable feature of tbe nimrods' burdens, however, is the absence of ui ad hens this spring. There have been plenty of ducks on Fox lake this season, but of late they have flown too high for the shooters. Just after the ice went out the geese were more plentiful than iu ten y«ars, while swans, rather rare in this part of the country, were numerous. Another remarkable thing about tbe kills of the last few days has been the number of black mallards, both male and female, and tbe number of pigeons that have been shot.

Again have the people of McHeary oounty demonstrated beyond the least inkling of a doubt that they are pos« sessed with the right spirit, the voters of the county giving their pride a grand total of 5751, while his opponent, Charles, Whitney of Waukegan, received. 1,087 votes. As will be seen, the fight lay between Donnelly and Whitney, as has been pre­ dicted by The Plaiudealer right from the beginning, but our home candidate, we are pleased to say, came out of the contest with flying colors and the people of tbe county have many reasons to feel proud of him. The McHenry and Ringwood pre­ cincts gave Donnelly, Frost and Wright excellent support, while the Lake coun­ ty candidate was entirely snowed under, the vote in the two precincts on the judicial candidates as well as the cor- ouerahip being as fellows: FOR CIRCUIT JUDGES.

After April 15 tbe swift- flying birds will be under the protection of the Illinois statutes. The past week has been ideal from the weather stand­ point, and tbe birds have flown north in myriads. Hunters along the Fox river and other northern Illinois resorts re­ port excellent sport, the finest in years. That the ducks are not exterminated as a result of the relentless war that is waged against them from the time they leave the feeding grounds of the south until they reach their summer retreat in the far north appears surprising, but veteran hunters assert that the num­ bers do not appear to be diminished.

The big musical comedy drama, "The Typewriter Girl," is scheduled to ap­ pear at the Central opera house on next Sunday night, April 18. The company comes highly recommended and has the unqualified endorsement of the press of tbe cities where they have appeared earlier in the season. The cast is head­ ed by Miss Elsie Trayuor as tbe Girl, And tbe support is also of a high stand­ ard, and the musical numbers are said to be very catchy. The company will be doubtless greeted by a good house as popular prices are to be iu effect. Business Meeting or UniverMllst Chnrch.

Manager R. D. Wyun of the road is busy securing the necessary remaining right of way grants. It is believed that no trouble will be encountered In securing the franchise rights. The matter of getting a franchise thru Grayelake was brought up be­ fore the village council last Monday night and after serious consideration it was referred to the village attorney to make a few desired but important changes. The franchise will then be brought up again next Monday night and it is believed that it will pass with out question as the village is more than anxious for tbe real work on the build­ ing of the road to start. Similar fran­ chise rights will then be secured thru Round Lake, Hainesyille and Fox Lake. In view of the great enthusiasm that is being manifested thruout the country districts in the proposed road it is strange that more interest is not shown on the part of Waukegan people. This is especially true since Wisconsin capital is so strongly considering the proposition of extending a road from Kenosha to the same region whicb will be taken in by the proposed local line. If this line is put in ahead of the line which Wynn is promoting it is sure to have a retarding effect and may make people slow to invest in the road. If the Waukegan, Rockford and El­ gin road is built first it will be the con­ necting line between the two great rail­ way systems, but in case the Kenosha line is put in first the Chicago and Mil­ waukee electric will take their passen­ gers to Kenosha and then send them in­ to the country district or allow them to connect with the Aurora line. Waukegan does not want this condi­ tion of affairs as it will mean the loss of much money to local merchants. With the proposed local road a success there will be no question about the good that will be deriyed from it and merchants will have no cause for complaint.

Aatf to Be Held and Saturday, Total vote...,*.,. M94 By renominating the three otct judges the pscpis of this judicial district have plainly shown their good judgment and they may rest assured that their ballots have been placed correctly. While Mr. Whitney, the defeated candidate, is a gentleman of refined qualifications-and a right clever lawyer, we earnestly be­ lieve that a change in the judgeship at the present time would be an injustice to tbe present incumbents, as their ad­ ministrations in office have all. been of a high rank. We sincerely hope, how­ ever, that when a change in the judicial judgeship is found necessary, that the claims of Lake county will receive the earnest consideration of our voters. The coronership race in McHenry oounty was also a spirited one, each of the candidates putting forth his best efforts to gain the nomination. The re-* suit of the balloting in McHenry coun­ ty, which gives Dr. Charles C. Peck of Harvard the nomination, was a follows: Wernham 2224 Curtis 885, Peck 2884 The county vote for and against county support of paupers resulted as follows: For county support. .1739 Against county support • • • • •.. . .1510 By the above vote it will be seen that the paupers will hereafter receive their support from the county instead of the different townships as has always been the custom. An Excellent Attraction. "The Typewriter Girl," a bright and sparkling musical comedy in three acts, is to oe at the Central opera house on next Sunday night, April 18. The com­ pany is headed by Miss Elsie Traynor as the Girl, and she has a clever sup­ porting company. The comedians, singere and dancers have all been care­ fully chosen and the musical numbers are all catchy and clever. The company is to be at popular prices and will, no doubt, be greeted by a large crowd. Have you seen our five and ten cent counter T If not, better eall in and save WM07. J.J.Vyeitol. - The annual school caucus and election will take place at the village hall here tomorrow (Friday)*and Saturday, April 16 and 17. This year there are to be placed in nomination and elected one president of the board of education and two trustee"; the Members of the board now serving and whose terms expire this year are James B. Perry, president, and trustees, Geo. H. Hanly and C. L. Page. As will be seen by their card on tbe editorial page of this paper, two candi dates have already announced them­ selves as aspirants for the offices of trustees, viz: John H. Miller and Pat­ rick J. Cleary. While the retiring officers have not as yet publicly an nounced their desire to again become aspirants for the office, their friends de­ clare that they will again be in the race and thus it will be seen that the school caucus and election this year will be hotly contested affairs and an unusually large vote is anticipated. The present ineuiuheet of ths preei dential chair has served the people fairly and honestly for quite a number of years and indications are that he will again be elected to that position with­ out opposition. Great interest is being manifested by the general public this year and if we are not badly mistaken a record break­ ing vote will be polled. Our ten cent goods are still the*crater of attraction. J.

The cast of characters was a particularly strong one, the lead­ ing roles being handled in a true metro­ politan manner by the different partici­ pants who carried them, the audience, at the close of the performance, going away very much pleased. Mr. Smith, the manager of the Central, is giving the people of McHenry and vicinity some of the best road productions now traveling. Next Sunday evening our people will have the pleasure of witness­ ing a real clever musical comedy, en­ titled "The Typewriter Girl„" and we feel safe in promising all those who at­ tend this performance their money's worth, as the papers in cities where the company has appeared have nothing but words of praise for the company.
