Before one of the largest gatherings that ever attended a marriage cere­ mony at Johnsburgh, Mr. Michael L. Justen and Miss Mayme Stilling were united in marriage at St. John's Cath­ olic church at that place yesterday (Wednesday) morning at nine o'clock, the Rev. 8. Wolf gar ten, pastor of the church, in bis nsnal painstaking man­ ner informing the sacred religions rite. To the strains of « beautifully ren­ dered wedding march by the chutph organist the bride and groom, preceded by Misses Liszie Stilling and Dena Meyers and Messrs. Nick Justen and Ben Stilling, proceeded up the center aisle of the large edifice to the foot of the altar where the nuptial vows were taken. The bride could not have been made to-look more charming. Gowned in a handsome dress of white satib, wearing the customary bridal veil held in place by a wreath of smilax and lilies of the valley and carrying a bouquet of bridal roees she won the admiration of the assemblage at first sight. The bridesmaids, dressed in gowns of pink nun's veiling and carrying bouquets of white and pink carnations, helped greatly in setting off the scene. After the words had been spoken that made the two man and wife high mass was celebrated. At the conclusion of the church ceremony the happy young pair was tendered a royal reception at the home of the bride's parents, the re­ ception being very largely attended by a host of invited" relatives and friends of the conple. The bride Is the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stilling, who reside east of McHenry. She ia a beautiful young woman possessing - all qualifi­ cations that go to make up a good wife She is popular amdhg her many friends and acquaintances. The groom is the fontth son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Justen] who reside north of this place. He Is .an industrious young man with a wide experience in his chosen employment, farming. He also enjoys the esteem and high respect of a large circle of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Justen will go to house- beeping at once on the farm now oc­ cupied by the groom's father, the latter having purchased the old Winkel place near this village, to which he will move soon. The bride and groom came to McHenry yesterday afternoon in Chas. Harrison's auto and had their pic­ tures taken at Hille's photo siudio. Congratulations are in order.- This paper and The Weekly Inter Ocean--$1.75 for one year's subscription to both. Surprised oa 45th Birthday.

For the first time in some twenty years, so local veterinariee say, that dreaded disease, glanders, has appeared near Sycamore. * The Richmond postoffioe is to be ad­ vanced from a fourth class to a third class office, notice to that effect having been received last week by Postmaster Aldrich from the first assistant post­ master general. The total receipts of the McHenry county fair amounted to $9,650 and the expenses were about the same, as near as can be estimated by the fair officials. The rain of Wednesday and Thursday mornings of the fair, it is figured, re­ duced the receipts folly $2,500, which would have been a neat sum to net this year. Lake Geneva Herald: The common council has had cement posts made, on which the names of the streets appear in sunk letters. These posts have been set up at the various street corners. The letters of the name are placed down the poet and they are very plain, hence there need be no question which a$reet is which. Forty-four hundred dollars is the amount of the bill of the Marengo board of health, presented at the meeting of the board of supervisors at Woodstock •for the expenses during the smallpox epidemic and quarantine in that city last May. No action was taken on the bill, but a committee was appointed to meet the doctors of the board of health in Marengo this week. A terrible accident happened at the home of Harry Ocock in Coral recently when his employe, Henry Lambracht, fell from a tree and injured his spine so badly that it is thought he will never be able to walk again. He was stand­ ing on a limb shaking the nuts from a hickory tree when the branch broke, precipitating him to the ground, a dis­ tance of 12 or more feet, and he struck *bn his back in such a manner as to partially paralyze the spinal column. With a total rainfall of 4.89 inches, which is an excess of 8.8 inches com­ pared with the average of 89 years, the month of August tried to make up for the lack of moisture in July, which was a record breaker in that respect, being only .29 inches in all. Other excesses are not notable nor were these deficien­ cies of particular moment, though the mean temperature was greater than any previous year since 1878, except in 1881 and 19(H). There were seven thunderstorms. The prevailing high price of batter and the low price offered for milk are the causes which have led some of the prominent farmers of Hebron to form a company and complete plans for the building of a butter factory west of that village. The work of excayating for the new creamery has been completed and construction work will be started within a few days. The factory will be 24x40 feet, built of cement blocks and modern in every way. When completed it will have a capacity to handle the cream from between 5,000 and 19,060 pounds of milk a day. Barrington Review: Secretary James P. Grier of the Milk Producers' Pro­ tective association reports that nearly all of the farmers who at first refused to sign the bottling plants contraots are still holding out. A meeting was held at Crystal Lake and the reports from there are highly encouraging. Local dairymen held a meeting here Monday morning and determined to stand pat Only three or four local members of the association have signed the contract. Word from Poplar Grove, Capron, Caledonia and Qmsett, Wisconsin, says that the farmers there are standing firm. Many towns- are. considering starting skimming stations, there being a good market for cream and also for skim milk, pome Chicago concerns pac­ ing as high aa 45 cents a can for it. Another consignment of 72 goats ar­ rived last Thursday morning for the Oatman Condensed Milk company at Dundee, who have arranged with | farmer to care for the goats this winter while they experiment with the milk in an effort to make cheese that shall have the peculiar flavor of the imported Swiss product. The first lot of ten goats have been kept near -the factory since their arrival, that their care and tcost of keeping as Well as the amount rjof milk received might be acurately 'kept track of by the company. The last shipment was sent here from Birm­ ingham, Ala., where there are many jgoats in the mountains, but the ma­ jority of them have not been milked daily and are not the class wanted by the company. The goats are supposed to give a pint of milk twice a day, are easily taken care of and it is the hope of the company that they may be able to get 800 or 400 goats here to give them enough milk to turn out a en peri or quality of cleese.

(Contributed.) f On Atigust 28, 1909, soma aore heads had published in a leading Chicago paper an exaggerated and misleading statement as to the carp seining in Fox lake, Fox river and Pistakee lake and bay. Same was very unjust against Mr. Henry Kleine, state fiBh commis­ sioner, who has done all in his power during his term in office to stock the waters of the Fox lake region with game fish and the work of reducing the carp in these waters so as to bring back the angliqg to the same standard it was a few years ago and which the sports­ men, fishermen and the people of the vicinity appreciate highly. After all the good work that Mr. Kleine has accomplished some SORE HEADS begin circulating stories which are misleading to the general public, and we think it our duty to protest against the publication of Aug. 28 as unwarranted and uncalled for. Mr, Kleine has had two shipments of black bass shipped to Ben Stilling recently, who placed them in the waters of Pis­ takee bay. We all hope that Mr. Kleine will continue in office and thus keep up the good work he has been doing in the past years in spite of the exaggerated stories that have been published abont him, and we, the undersigned prop erty owners of Pistakee Bay and Fox river, hereby certify that we were pres­ ent at the seining of carp by Ben Still­ ing and that all the game fish caught in the seine were caretnlly returned back to the lake: rhlo.ttKo--^P.

Woodstock Sentinel: Frank Bycon Morse of New York City, a capitalist who is heavily interested in street rail­ ways in several parts of the United States, was in Woodstock a short time Monday while on an automobile trip to Marengo. Mr. Morse was accompanied by R. D. Wynn of Waukegan, who is promoting the building of the Waukegan and Rock ford electric line, and L. J. Von Paskey of Chicago, a representative of the Colo­ nial Trust and Savings bank, and their ladies. The party spent three days touring from Waukegan west thru the lake region and were at Pistakee Bay and Fox Lake Sunday. To a representative of The Sentinel Mr. Morse declared 'that the territory between Waukegan and Woodstock thru McHenry and the lake region is the finest railway prospect now to be found anywhere in the United States. Mr. Morse took a number of camera views of Woodstock's business section, as well aa of the Oliver factory, where abriefoal! was made on Supt, Whit worth. At the factory Mr. Morse assured Mr. Whitwortb and The Sentinel represent­ ative that the line will be built without a doubt. He states that the part wett from Waukegan will be built this win­ ter and next spring, with every indica­ tion of having the same in operation some time next year. His plan is to follow up by building from the lake region west thru Woodstock to Maren go to connect with the Belvidere and Elgin line. Let F. O. Gans cry your auction sale.

A short time ago The Plaindealer pointed out the great value that could be derived by our village and its citi­ zens by patronizing and upholding home industry. From facts and figures given us by local industries since the above mentioned article went into print we are satisfied that the article produced fruit. At the time, however, one of our local enterprises was overlooked, and this season of the year being our opportune time we thus take it upon ourselves to point out in brief the present state of affairs connected with the local canning factory. . First of all, we are indeed sorry to impart the well known fact to onr read­ ers that this institution has yet to be brought upon a paying basis. The plant is now in the third year of its existence, the first and second years having been complete failures so far as the stockholders of this factory are con­ cerned. And why this failure? To answer the question properly and fear lessly we are obliged to lay the greater part of the Dlame on the farmers of this vicinity. The unenlightened readers ifiay ask, Why blame the farmers for the existing condition? This question should be answered that thru their neglect of interest a sufficient amount of acreage of sweet corn could not be contracted for to assure the snocesaof the company. - * After two vain attempts on the part of the McHenry Canning company, Hanly Bros, have this year taken hold of the proposition, and The Plaindealer Sinoerely hopes that this year's accom­ plishments will bring the long desired want, viz., success. While conditions thiB year are considerably brighter than ever before, Hanly Bros, are not yet assured of their success. But if the factory again fails this year it cannot be laid to lack of hustle on the part of the management. Beginning right from the first of the year, these two gentlemen in question set out perfecting plans whereby the oanning industry in McHenry could'be brought to a paying venture. As the contracting season came on they set out to contract their season's supply of sweet corn and in this respect were par tially successful, altho only about one hundred acres were contracted for. The amount should have reached three hun­ dred acres at least. To assure them­ selves of success the Hanly Bros, put in one hundred acres of corn, which at the present time has proven their only ration from a dismal failure. Of the one hundred acres outside of their own only about one-third has been delivered to the factory, and from the present ontlook this is about all they expect to receive. Thus it may be seen that the factory during the past few weeks has been operating thru the ef­ forts of the proprietors themselves. At the present time between thirty and forty men, boys, women and children are employed, which means the expen­ diture of hundreds of dollars for wages every week. The pi'oepacts aow »re that the factory will furnish employ­ ment to this number». for another week at least, and right here it may be ob­ served where McHenry derives its ben­ efit A few thousand dollars in wages at this time of the year means a great deal to the village and we cannot con- oeive why every citizen and farmer in this vicinity does not show more inter­ est in this industry. Up to the present time 180,000 cans of sweet corn of the finest brand have been put up and before their factory shuts down for the season the management hopes to swell this number by at least 45,000 cans. At the beginning of the season the Hanly Bros, had set out to put up at least 400,000. How far tbey have fallen short can easily be deducted from the above figures. W. O. Sauerwein, one of the best pro­ cessors in the country, has charge of the plant and under his supervision the products should be put up in the very finest of shape. A visit to the factory is one of intense interest. After the corn is delivered at the factory it falls into the hands of the huskers. By means of an endless chain it is carried to the second floor where it is fed into a machine, the mechanism of which sep­ arates the kernels from the cobs, the cobs finding their y?ay down a chute to the outside of the building, from which place they are carted away, while the kernels pass thru a crusher and thence down a chute to the filler on the main floor. The cans are fed into a tube on the second floor, and passing thru the tube to the main floor are filled auto­ matically. The cans with their con­ tents next pass via the endless chain to the boy with the caps, and after under­ going the sealing process are ready for the cooking pot, where they remain for one hour and thirty minutes, after which they are carted to the store room. The labeling and boxing will take plaee next week. SUNDAY'S TFLOTOR BOAT* RACES. "Clam K.n Wins Morning Race While the "Elvera" Takes Afternoon's HonordL his the the the out The third and fourth motor boat races under the direction of the Mc­ Henry Power Qoat club were pulled off on Fox river last' Sunday. The first, for the Buch cup, was run shortly after ten o'clock and was won by the "Clara K." owned by Mr. Kramer who has a summer home on Fox river a shorl dis­ tance north of the Orchard Beach hotel. The launch, "Elbert," the winner of the Hunter cup, came in second. The race was once around the course in­ stead of twice and the winner of the cup is deserving of great credit for the manner in which he handled boat. The feature of this race was exceptionally fine starts that*all boats entered in the race made. The race in the afternoon for beautiful Edwards cup brought thirty-four entries. Nearly all of the boats got away promptly on their handicap time and as a result the spec­ tators were treated to one of the finest finishes that has yet characterised any of the races pulled off here. The Doc­ tor II. came in nearest its time, but ow­ ing to the fact that several protests were filed against that boat the cup was awarded to the "Elvera," owned.by Mr. WoolUer, who spends his summers at Howell's Villas. The winning boat came in two seconds after the Doctor II. while the "Percy" was a close sec­ ond, coming within three seconds of carrying away the honors. >The "Anna­ bel" was third, "Clara K" fourth, "Ei­ leen" fifth and "Elbert" sixth in the race.

William Hughes is one of the pros­ perous farmers of Reno county, Kan. He went there from Illinois twenty-six years ago when drouths, short crops and low prices for farm produce were the rule rather than the exceptin. In 1894 Mr. Hughes went to Hutch' insonand bought a farm wagon for $60. It was 'a good wagon, but its fifteen years of constant service made it neccesr&ry ttf discard it, so a^few days ago Hughes went to the dealer to bny a new wagon and told him he wanted one just like he purchased fifteen years ago for $60. "I can sell you the identical wagonj " the dealer told Hughes, "but It will cost you $70." ; . » This caused Farmer Hughes to "go into the air" and he entered a vigor­ ous protest against a $10 "hold-up." The merchant did everything in his power to pacify Hughes and finally told him he would self the wagon on the same terms as agreed upon fifteen years ago. That was satisfactory to Hughes and the two men refreshed their memories. The merchant said: "You paid for the wagon you bought in 1894 in corn, and if t remember cor­ rectly you brought me 600 bushels of corn at 10c a bushel. Now yon bring me in 600 bushels of corn and I will give you this wagon. In addition, your wife may select a $136 surrey, you can have the best self-binder worth $125, then yon can have an $80 kitchen range and $20 worth of kitchen furniture, all for 600 bushels of corn. The wagon at $70 and the other items foot up $420-- 600 bushels of corn at 70o a tanshel, $430." - y • You will The Willing Workers will ineetlh the church parlors next Thursday after­ noon.

The story of '*The Farmer's Daugh­ ter," which will be the attraction at the opera house for Sunday, Oct. 8, while not a new one to stagedom, has been treated so cleverly by the author that it has developed into a stage offering of more than usual merit. It deals with the story of a beautiful girf, the daugh­ ter of a New England farmer, who marries against her father's wishes only to find that the man whom'she has mar­ ried has deceived her into a mock cere­ mony. The father is unforgiving and casts her from his home, but thru the efforts of two kind hearted friends everything turns out right. The play introduces two characters that are des­ tined to leave considerable impression on the audience. They are two chil­ dren of nature--characters that we find in nearly every village, and the author's clever drawing of "Hy" and "Thank­ ful" will prove well worth seeing. Chl-Nautel l>rnu»n«<ration.
