The day was a perfect one and if there is any voter in the district, either male or fe­ male, who did not get to the polls on that day the blame conld surely not be placed on the candidates in the race as each of the four gentlemen in question had their buses and autoe out from one until four o'clock, carrying the voters to and from the place of polling.

The two newly elected genttttnen who now take their places on the board of education are both men of sonnd judg* ment and 'will, no doubt, work in per­ fect harmony with the balance of the members who are now serving on that body. Neither of the two men have ever before served in the capacity that they have been elected to, but, never­ theless, we bespeak for thetn a credit* able showing at the expiration of their first term in this honorably body With Mr. Perry at the head, we see nothing but advancement in onr school in. the future attd with the united sup­ port of each and every person in this district onr school is bound to rank among the best conntrv fducs.tion#%i stitutionsin the state.

With eggs the past winter ranging all the way from 25 to 40 cents per dosen, it is possible there may be some who will want to put some nice fresh eggs down for future use. A method which gives better results than any other is putting the eggs down as fast as they are laid or can be secured in a water glass solution, which is made by mixing one quart of sodium silicate to ten quarts of water previously boiled, the solution being mixed while hot. The vessel used for the purpose should be of wood or stoneware, preferably the latter. Fresh etrgs put up in the above manner will keep remarkably well for ten months. The best time to lay by such a store of eggs is when they are the cheapest possible consistent with fieshness. Is your ffaaolitte stove to bad~ order? If eo, bring ft to Vycital and tie will fix it. A PICHUIII Surprise. The member* of the McHenry high school tendered Miss Mande Granger a very pleasant sorprise at her home last Friday. The merry party made their "descension" upon the Granger home early, and as soon as the victim had time to fully recover she accompanied the crowd to the Woodman hall, where a pleasant evening was spent in dancing. Mrs. W. F. Gallaher and Miss Mabel Granger chaperoned the young folks and seemed to enjoy the good time with the rest. Light refreshments were served. The latest sensations Wm, StoSfel'e, '•-,c V'"-:' T bufgiaa at A HlMcllMconti Assortment of New* • Items In Condensed Furn• Far Conven­ ience of Bucy 1'eople. Thursday, April the fifteenth, seven million white fi«h were delivered at the Waukegan harbor by Nat H. C>h*n, state fish commissioner. This shipment was procured thru the personal efforts of A; K. Stearns. The annual run of suckers from Crys­ tal laker down the outlet has been iarger than ever this year. Last wee* the big fish were w plentiful that they were taken from the creek and hanled away by the wheelbarrow loads. The fierce wind which swept this part of the country on a recent Tuesday end Wednesday rolled the waves so high on the beach at Lake Geneva thathnndfeds of fish, many of them large bass and pickerel, were literally blown out of, the water and picked up by the score on the sand. Carpenters are erecting the frame work of the new deer house in Carpen­ ter park. Carpentersville. The new building will be buff brick veneered and will be trimmed with white stone. The animals arrived the latter part of last, week and will lie housed in the new home. Landscape Gardener Klehm of Arling ton Heights was iu Crystal Lake Satur- lay and staked out the parkiugonthe railroad land south of the depot. He allowed ample space foi driveways, and has planned an outline which wheu com­ pleted will make the Crystal Lake park the prettiest of auy along this division of the Northwestern. - A newspaper reporter interviewed thirty snccessfnl business men and found that all of them, when boys, bad been governed strictly and frequently thrashed. He also interviewed thirty loafers and found that twenty-seven of them had been '"mamma's darlings," and the other three had been reared by their grandmothers. The moral is ob­ vious. Rev.- Pur kiss of Elgin, pastor of the First Baptist church, caused a sensation at a recent bnsiuess meeting of the con­ gregation when he asked the m mbere to vote on whether or not hats should be worn by women during church ser vices. A short discussion between dif­ ferent members of his auditors was fol­ lowed by. a vote of about 800 to • in favor of the removal of hats. Apples have advanced in. price 7ft per cent in one year and over 200 per cent in three years. Going farther back than three years, it is found that the fruit was cheaper year by year, and now-1 the apple, a natural prodnct of this lati tude, is dearer than the orange. Farm­ ers in this viciuity are planning to de­ vote more attention to the cultivation of apple orchards and it is to be hoped that a normal price can again be reached. Elgin district members of the Milk Producers' association are planning to erect a skimming station of their own and handle the selling end of the busi­ ness. If they do Elgin will then be aa it was in its palmiest days when it waa the center of the manufacture of milk products. The Will county farmers have decided to start a skimming sta­ tion and handle the selling as well as the producing end. At a meeting f 1,000 was subscribed. At a recent meeting of the church officials and citizens of Greenwood it was decided to erect a new church building at a cost of $7,000. The new strnctnre, according to present plans, will ne modern in every respect. The auditorium will have a seating capacity of 200, with anadjaceut lecture room which can be opened to the auditorium on crowded occasions. The basement will contain a club room, Sunday school assembly room, kitchen, lavatory and furnace room. Marion Grey, who conducted a matri­ monial agency in Elgin during the sum­ mer of 1907, has received a sentence of one year in the House of Correction. The case was first tried before Judge Ijandis, who imposed the above sentence, but was given a rehearing in the United States Court of Appeals, before Jndge Groascup. The latter confirmed Judge Landis' decision aud the probabilities are that Miss Grey will carry the case no higher. It is said that she is in ill health and that a pardon will be sought for her. President Taft wonld have to pardon ber. Elgin motor boat owners and river enthusiasts, anxious to widen and ex­ tend the pleasures of boating, plan to petition congress for an appropriation to dredge Fox river from Carpenters­ ville to Trout park and make the stream navigable for pleasure craft from Elgin to Fox lake. With the exception of two miles between Carpentersville and Hickory ville all of Fox river from the Kimball street bridge in Elgin to the mouth of the river is navigable to pleas­ ure craft Motor boats can now pass thru in high water, but when thf stream is at ordinary height it is impossible to pass between these two points. The distance is only two miles and tbe cost is estimated at nut more than (5,000. It is expected that Congressman Snapp will do all in bis power to have the ap­ propriation request granted aa he ra ceived hie heaviest vote at the Aognst primaries in Elgin and northers Ksse THE VILLAGE ELECTION Martin Williams, another of MeHenry "township's oldest residents, parsed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Peter Weber, who rt&ides on Sherman's hill just west of town, on Friday evening, AprillB, 1909. The deceased for some time past, ow­ ing to advanced age, had been in a very feehte condition, necessitating almost constaut care, which was very willingly bestowed upon hiiu by bis daughter, 'with,whom he aud his aged companion have been making their home during the past several month*. The weight of hi* many yaars bore npon him vritb such severity during the last two mouths of his earthly life that his end had been looked for for some time past, the angel of death coming as a sweet relief to hia sufferings, Altho a great sufferer he was never heard to offer a complaint during all bis illness, bearing hie palus as only-a man of his calibre could. The deceased reached the ripe old age of eighty-one years, having been born in Berlingen, Germany, on April 80, 1828. In the-year 1H4B, when only a boy of eighteen, he came to America, settling first in the state of Wisconsin, where he made hia home for a number of years. Later on he moved t.o thja state, en­ gaging in farming on a farm uear Volo, Lake county. He continued to work his farm until sixteen years ago, when he retire^ from an active life to a life of rest. He |noved to Johnsbnrgh where he continued to reeid<Mtp until the time of going toll the home -of bis daughter last fall. 1 / On Octffb^r 29, ItWft, be took unto himself a life companion in the person of Miss Katherina M. Jacobs. To this union were born eleven children, namely: John, Kathryn, Peter, Mary, Barbara, Joseph, Eva. Henry, Jacob, Anna and Elizabeth Of these four have preceded the father in death, they being Mary, Joseph, Jacob and Anua. The balance of tbe children, all of whom, with the exception of Mother Superior of St Clara's convent at Denver, Colo., and known as Sister Jerome, reside in this immediate vicinity, are left with tbe aged mother and widow to mourn the loss of one they loved, Mr. Williams posseesed all the stealing qualities which go to make up a good citizen and man, being ptrictly npright, straight forward and ho&eet. He was a kind aud considerate neighbor, always attending to his own affairs and never meddling with others' business. He was of a quiet and retiring nature, which be so beantifully exemplified dnr ing the iaet few months among us. The remains were taken to Johns­ bnrgh Tuesday morning where the last sad rites were performed by Rev. Wolf garten at St. John's Catholic church, interment taking place iu the cemetery bearing tbe same name. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing rela tivee and friends who had gathered to pay their last tribute of esteem to one they bad learned to deeply love. May his soul rest in peace. CARD OF THANKS.

MAKTIN WILLI AMS, * AND CHILDREN. GAME FiGMT IS WAGED BY PRESI­ DENTIAL ASPIRANTS. IV, H. Wattles Defeats Simon glniTel For the Presidential Honors by Small Mar- r<n of Fourteen Votes. One of tbe most bitterly contested political fights ever waged in McHenry came to a close *t five o'clock Tnesday evening, the day eet aside for the hold­ ing of the annual village election, when F. H. Wattles defeated Simon Stoffel for the village presidency by the small margin of only fourteen votes. Both aspirants for the honorable posi­ tion. if such it may be termed, had so thoroly canvassed the village during the past two weeks that nearly every voter in the corporation bad fnlly fixed his mind as to the way he wonld mark- his ballot many days before the real big day had approached. Both Wattles and Stoffel had their forces ont from the time the polls opened until the closing time had arrived, and it can be truthfully said that victory was not assured to either of tbe two candidates until the last ballot had been counted. For one thing The Plaindealer feels quite jubilant, that being the absence of stickers. A reporter bad been in­ formed several weeks previous to the election that it was the intention of a few to nse stickers on election day, but judging from the ballot of Tuesday the report was absolutely false and, no doubt, was circulated tocauee anxiety in the Stoffel camp. Below we give the resrilt of Tnesday's ballot as furnished 11s by onr village clerk, H. E. Price, the total vote cast being 889. : FOR VILkAUB PRESIDENT. F. H. Watties... .145 Simon Stoffel.......'

MN» Gottlieb Lehman. - Mrs. Gottlieb Lehman, who left this vicinity with her hnsband and family abont three years ago, passed away at her late home near Wiudsor, Kearney county, Kan,, on April II, pnenmonia being the direct cause of her death. Tbe deceased was born in Sehagan Turchan Sachen, Germany, April 14, 1848, bring­ ing her to the age of 80 years, 11 months and 28 days at the time of her departure from this world of sorrows. In Feb­ ruary, 1872, while still a resident of her native land, she was united in marriage to Gottlieb Lehman. She is mourned by a grief stricken husband and four children, as follows: William, of Crys­ tal Lake, 111 ; Richard, of Lakin, Kear­ ney county.

Royer spoke the sacred words that united Miss Josephine Adams and Mr. Gilbert Harris in the holy bonds of matrimony. The ceremony was a most simple one and witnessed by only the young people who attended tbe pair, Miss Rose Adams and Mr. Joseph SehaeCer. The bride wore a gown of gray nuns veiling and carried a bouquet of carnations. Immediately after the ceremony the yonng couple, together with the im­ mediate famiiies, gathered at the home of the bride's mother where a reception took place. The bride is tbe second eldeet daugh­ ter of Mrs. Mary K. Adams. She is a young woman of a pleasing nature and has the admiration of a host of friends. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harris who reside on the P. J. Cleary farm sonth of town, ^ He is an indus­ trious young mau and claims a large circle of friends.

Petesch A peculiar fact of the voting Tnesday was that tbe three candidates for trns tees, with no opposition whatever, re oeived an average of only 185 votes out of the total vote eaet, thus showing that over one hnndred voted for the presi dential candidates only. Mr. Stoffel, the losing candidater takes his defeat very good naturedly, taking great pride in the good showing he made against what he has all along figured to be treuiendouB odds. Every possible means were resorted to by hi* enemies to defeat him, new stories de faming his character in many different ways springing up almoet daily. Each and every one of these stories naturally affected Mr. Stoffel's vote, but in the face of all this, he put up a noble fight. Tbe Plaindealer is a firm believer in giving each man who aspires for politi cat honors fair play, but when it comes to dirty politics as was practiced by some of the enemies to Mr. Stoffel we take exception. Such repot ts defaming Mr. Stoffel's character as a man and citizen of our village as were circulated during tbe entire campaign were utterly uncalled for and a contemptible trick. We earnestly believe that there wasn't w h o voted at TueuUay s election that wastiot to a certain degree familiar with Mr. Stoffel's general character as a man and citizen, so why such ugly re­ ports. Again we repeat, LET US JUDGE A MAI* ON HIS MERITS and not on unfounded, maliciously circulat ed reports that do not amount to a row of pins. Mr. Wattles, the newly elected prei- dent of the village, is a man possessed with a good business knowledge and will, no doubt, give our village an ad­ ministration that will be a source of pride to himself as well as our citizens in general. He is backed by six pro-* gressive and intelligent business men who it is hoped will stand together and make McHenry one of the connty's leading villages. To accomplish this result perfect harmony in all business transactions is essential, and here is hoping that such harmony will prevail among our village officers during the coming year.

Waukegan JGazette: The. extension of the Metrdpolitan West Side Elevated railroad's Humboldt Park line to the city limits, which is to be started soon, is of vast importance to that territory not only because of the' improved ser­ vice afforded to those in the immediate territory of the Metropolitan, bnt be­ cause it practically assures the construc­ tion of tbe interurban line from Fox Lake and -Lake Geneva to Chicago. This line is projected by the Chicago, Fox Lake aud Lake Geneva railroad, making its Chicago connection with the Metropolitan at Seventy-second avenue, on the Humboldt Park branch. This interurban line as projected will traverse the Des Plaines valley as far north as Dea Plaines and will run thence north­ westerly into the Fox lake region, cross­ ing the Fox river at McHenry and con­ tinuing on to the city of Lake Geneva. This, of course, will afford an in­ creased and more freqnent service to those who have established their sum­ mer homes in the Fox lake region.
