Mr. Eckert has served the people of this county in the capacity of sheriff for two terms, serving from 1886 to 1800, and again from 1894 to 1898. He has acted as deputy sheriff during the past twelve years and we feel ̂ safe in saying that the OQlnnty could not plaee a more reliable man into this office than the genial gent who aspires for same. His announce­ ment will be found elsewhere in this •pom mfTnym#ftwtiwr. WE WANT EVERY SUB­ SCRIBER'S ATTENTION The Plaiadaalar haa from time to time brought to the attemiOn of its readers the fact that Uncle Sam is seri­ ous in his* intention to have the pub­ lishers of the United States comply with the postoffice orders which went into effect in the spring of 1609. Tile ruling states that no publication is allowed to enter the mails as second class matter where the subscriber is one year or more in arrears and from the manner in which the inspectors are go­ ing fetter th<» poor, unfortun&te publish­ ers there isn't the least possible sign of a doubt bet that the government means to enforce the ruling fco\he Setter, To escape being called to W&shingiou on a charge of having broken the ruling, the editor of The Plaicdealee has been "dunning" his snbscribers continually ever since the ruling went into effect. We are indeed sorry to say that quite a number of our readers have not heeded our continued warnings, with the result that their names have been taken from our mailing list. Among those taken off the larger majority have placed themselves into our "boots," squared their accounts and had their names re­ entered by paying one year in advance. In looking over our hundreds of ex­ changes we notioe that the majority of publishers, since the rating became effective, are demanding cash in ad­ vance, just to keep "tin the square with Unole Sam." The idea we believe to be a good one and there isn't a reason in the world why all newspapers ahonld not take up the custom. Mo person won Id ever think of order* inga metropolitan paper without en­ closing a remittance with the order. Why then ahonld not the poor country publisher receive the same treat uent? It'ii a lead pipe cinch that Uncle San will never have an occasion to get the big fellows, but it's the fellows like your humble servant who will get it in the neck. To prove to our readers that Uncle Sam is sincere we publish the following dipping taken from the Harvard Herald: "The editor of the Denison, la., Bulletin has been notified by the postoflBce department to appear in Washington and abow oause why his atcond class mailiug privilege shonld not be taken away from him. The Dane* Saturday Night. , The Knights of Columbus will open the summer dancing season at Staffers hall next Saturday evening, June 11. These Saturday night dances in the past have been a source of great delight to the dance loving public of McHenry and vicinity and the prospects now are that this dancing resort will receive a wider and greater reputation as the real place for a good time during the coming summer season than ever be* fore. The committee in charge of these dances will do everything within its power and reason to make things com­ fortable and pleasant for their guests and will spare no expense in making the comirg season one of the best in the history of the hall. Metsger's Wood stock orchestra will be on band to fur­ nish the music on this occasion and a dandy time iB promised all who turn out. Dance tickets, $0 cents. Every-/ body is invited. I'owar Boat Clab Mactlnf. A regular meeting of the MoHenry Power Boat club will be held Saturday, June 11, 1910, in the rooms of the Mo- Henry Pleasure club at 8 p.m., sharp, toconsider various propositions to be submitted by the committee appointed to pick a site for a clnb bouse. ' Do not fail to attend, as many other items of importance will be discussed. DR. D. G. WELLS, Secretary, E. HUNTER, Commodore. fourth of Jaljr Celebration Naetiaff* Everyone interested in a Fourth of July celebration for McHenry this year ia respectfully asked to attend a meet­ ing at the village hall tomorrow (Fri­ day) evening at 8 o'clook. This prop­ osition has been talked over by some of our business men for some time past and a final decision will be arrived at at this meeting. What a Samm*r Cold May D*. A summer cold If neglected ia just as apt to develop into bronchitis or pneu­ monia £• st any other season. Do not neglect It. Take Foley's Honey and Tar promptly. It loosens the cough, soothes and heals the inflamed %tr pas sages, and expels the cold from the sys­ tem. F. Masquelet. Hot, Hanld Weather. Heat and humidity of the summer atmosphere causes mental irritability. Friendly converse over the telephone counteracts the effect of hot weather. Residence service cofts but a few cents per day. Anybody can afford it. Chi­ cago Telephone Company. Th« Nptcd Limit, The speed limit within the corporate limits of the village of McHenry is twelve miles per honr, according toelgn boards that have been placed in con spicnous places in the village. Now let's try and keep tab on how many arrests are made during the coming five months. Hen wanted at T*rra Cotta fac­ tory. charge fa that he haa been Sending his paper to subscribers who are owing for mote than one year. If the department takes away his second class privilege he will have to quit buaiuesw. Every news­ paper man must work in fear of this penalty being inflicted because he is carrying delinquents on his list contrary to the postal regulations. We again ask our subecrihers to pay arrears fjea before we will be obliged to bring out the pruning knife." Under the caption of "Delinquents Must Pay, the Sedalia (Mo ) 1>»tu<»erat says: "Editor Fay off Lyon«, I& , has been called to Washington City because hi* subscription lint, ia not as well paid up aa the law reqnires. "He will have to explain to govern­ ment. officials why he has not compelled his subscribers to pay up, according to postal rules. ® "An inspector had visited him two months previously, and bin subscription list waa said to be pretty thoroly paid Up, but evidently it was not sufficiently so. "It seetns a little tough tha+a news paper o*ner has to be hauled up l>efore the government ou the charge of having violated federal lawx just because he does not eternally keepdunning hi* unh- scribers for the suiall HIIUIH they owe on subscriptions; but it is like the end of the world--no man knows when it i ometh; and no editor knows what <tay an inspector may pop in and ask to see the lists." By the above it will lie seen that we are up against It and must demand the cash. The Plaindealer i*n't going to take any chances and jn«t a* soon aa a subscriber l>ecomes delinquent off goea his name. We believe that we have given all a fair warning, HO why not show yourself to be on the level with ua by paying up and keeping The Plain- dealer editor out of the poor houneY We send out sultscription statements the Jrst of every mouth. If you have one in yonr possession, lose no time, but call and square yourself at once. An­ other good idea is for every subscriber to watch the label on his or her paper. Should the label chow that your sub­ scription is soon to expire, hand or send us the $1.50 gnd we'll smile upon yOu for a whole year. Qt* LIIIM T»xaa. In renewing his subscription to The Plaindealer, Peter Blake, once a Mo* Henry resident, but now located at Rhineland, Texas, writes as follows; "We are having pleuty of rain here now. Oats, corn and cftton look fine. \?£heat, however, ia pretty short, owing to the lonfc drought we had in the spring. Early wheat and oats will be harvested this week. Most of the wheat will be headed and thrashed at the same time, thus saving twine shocking. -Tbia country is fast coming to the front with modern farm machinery.

The McHenry cornet band, by invita­ tion, played at Woodstock on Saturday last, Decoration day. At a meeting of the village board, *held ou Monday eveniug last, John Slimpin was appointed village constable and pound master and Dr. O. J. Howard, Dr. A. S. Childs and Chas. H.

We should have said 7iK> pouuds.' We simply mis­ understood our informant. During the severe storm on Tuesday night last, the house of Peter Schaid, who lives just west of the railroad, was struck by lighting and damaged to a considerable amount. It appears the lightning struck the chimney, ran along tue peak of the roof, running down the south end, tearing off the clapboards, breaking the windows and shaking things up generally, but fortunately in­ juring none of the family, altho giving them a severe fright. .il'NK 10, 1885.

The steamboat excursion to the lakes on Sunday was an enjoyable affair. About sixty, including the band, went np aud all had a glorious good time. We learn that the highway commis gioners of this tov^n have purchased one of Taft's Champion road machine* which is pronounced by good judges to lie one of the best machines now in use It will do as much work as fifteen men, and do it much better. We learn that Wm. Huffman, of Nun- da, met with a serious and painful acci dent ou Thursday of last week. He was raisiug a heavy putnp from a well with a windlass and when nearly out tbe chain slipped and the sudden jerk brok« the right arm near the shoulder joint. At last accounts he was suffering con aiderable pain, but getting along as well as could be expeotod. . v We learn that there in a prospect that the mail route which now rune from Richmond to Solon and Spring Grove will be changed so as to leave McHenry every morning, running to JohnsWrgh, Spring Grove and Solon, returning the same day. This will be a much needed change, lad will benefit a large number at Jobnsburgh who are now getting their mail but three times a week. The Libertyville Times makes ns blush by the following remarks: "We notice tbat Van Slyke, tbe genial, of the McHenry Plaindealer, is advertising his safe for sale, aud ^iys though second hand it's as good as new. We're sorry he has no use for if. but think he's right in his determination. Hereafter he'll keep the subscription book on the copy denk and carry in his pants pockets any miscellaneous currency that may come in. Any way, it stands to reason that the safe's as good as new. No news­ paper publisher ever wore out the bot­ tom of a safe drawer through accumu­ lations of cash. However, Van onght to get rich. He publishes a good paper, works hard, and does more to build np the community be lives in than any two merchants in it," Notice to l.ot Owner*.
