The entire teaching force of the school for next year have the school's beat gogd at heart. Yoar board of education is prepared so pat into opera&oc the most pjc.'-jcrefflrtva measures that the patrons ] deyiisnd. but they are justly and wisely conservative ic adopting new plans or incurring new expense. The enumeration for this year shows a total of 406, an increase of twenty over last year in the number of persons of school age. The tuition receipts for the past year were near 9400, with only oss pupil prepared to enter the high school from the surrounding country. The same territory has prepared about twenty this year, while our own class nnnihm young people enter yoar high school or not depends chiefly on two things: the ambition of the youth and their parents and the reputation of the school for ability to give m good as is reasonably obtainable elsewhere. Formerly a large part of oar tuition Was received from pupils in the seventh anil eighth grades, now it practically all comes from the high school. When the high school fails to rank with neigh baring schools that tuition will stop. Over half the high school is tuition pupils. When they stop, not only will that source of income be cat off, bat the value of what is left will be materially lessened also to yoar own children. Thru the influence of the high school ths persistence of the pupils in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades has been in­ creased nearly fifty per cent. The whole public school in McHenry is de- pendent upon the standard of its high school as very few schools are. The following letter explains the oondltion now imminent which should meet yoar careful consideration and demands your jMDtion if yon would avert it: The University of Illinois, Urbana, ill., JuneWIG. Bfcpt. Win. F. Rice, McHenry, Illinois. My Dear Sir--I am writing you with reference to the accrediting of your high school.-. Yon will remember that after January, 1911, we shall expect hree teachers, including ths superin­ tendent, in the high schools to be ac­ credited by the university. Tbet Mc­ Henry high school has impressed me as being an unusually efficient school for one of its size. Further, it seems to me that its location is such as to make it desirable to maintain a creditable high school in that locality. It seems to me that this point, especially, should ap­ peal to the local pride of your commun­ ity as wall as to local public enterprises, for a creditable high school always means a number of tuition students, and this means the attracting or a num­ ber of people to your town for business purposes. I should dislike very much to see the McHenry school dropped from oar list, and yet it would be im­ possible for us to oontinne the accredit­ ed relation unless this requirement can be met. I wish you would present this matter to your board, and say to them that ws hope they will oonaider very carefully before they decide to permit the school to be droppsd. There is no other school in Illinois to which we have felt like writing in such u way as this. It is because of oar belief in this school and in its ability to render good service in fnrnishing an efficient high school to the surrounding country that ws have written thus strongly. Very sincerely yoars, (Signed) H. A. HOLLISTER, } High School Visitor. It is important to note that this is* lose which it is impossible for your prin­ cipal or your whole teaching force to prevent Your board of education will not take action unless they feel that they will have the support of the pat­ rons In doing so. It is np to the pat­ rons of the school to say what they want. 1 wish to say that it is doe my suc­ cessor, Mr. < Nye, that .this matter be fully understood at this time. He is prepared to do bis part in keeping up the standard of the school and the other teachers are prepared to give him the same efficient support they have given ma in doing*this. I wish to ask for Mr. Nye the same consideration and fellow­ ship that has been given me during the last four years. You have stood well by me in raising the sfeudard. Will you not stead by .Wn in ̂ maintaining and advancing itt Respectfully, WIIXIAM F. RICK. Mere Meetrie Railway Talk.

Crystal Lake Herald: The body of Lome Plucker, (rho was drowned in Foa river in Algonqoin, waa found by John Wand rack, Saturday morning, about 7:15. John had been looking for the body every day since ths accident, and deserves credit for his persistent ,efforts to secure the body. He found it about a mils from the dam or place of aocideat, near ths shore on B. B. Stew­ art's land. Elkhorn Independent: Ex-Sheriff E. fcl White will couipatgn this year after a "simple driver" of unusual character. He has jaat purchased from his brother in law, Clarence Scbaub of Boyne City, Mich., an ox. The new roadster is per­ fectly broken, kind and a an. tie and cap able of taking a fast clip in front of a buggy or under a saddle. The ox weighs 1800, is five years old, and will make his first "dress up" appearaaoe in t^e parade on J uly Fourth. A modern burglar alarm vsystam has been installed in the Banr of Hebron the past week and that institution is now protected from such attempts as were uiftd@ «> few months ago when the vault and sate were blown. One of the men who were implicated in the robbery there a short time ago was arrested last week in Tenqsssee, where he will doubtless serve time for a similar offense. The ar rested man and two companions robbed a bank in that state of nearly $30,000, the other two men escaping with the loot. W. S. Frye, living near Capron, III., and a director in the Capron bank, aad his son, Eugene, were fined $25 each by Justice Clohisy of Elkhor^ for fish­ ing without a liceuse. The coats made the grand total of #67.50. Frye and son, Eugene, and another son, who is under sixteen years old, were peacefully fishing on Delavan Lake whpn Gams Warden liurgett spied them and requested to see their license. Frye said he supposed that his last year's permit had still some time to run. The Fryes plead guilty and promptly paid up. Seventy-eight pounds of pickerel ware confiscated by th« game warden and sold on the street corner to the highest bidder, the Elk- horn hotel, for four dollars. The Cap­ ron anglers took out a new nonresident's license aad returned to their lines.

This section of the pit has now been staked ont and will be searched in a day or two in the hope of coming upon more of the same thing. Ths men at the gravel pits have groxyn accustomed to discoveries, but when Ole Hanson, in charge of the crusher, heard a noise of a very unusual natura on Saturday he was not prepared for what followed. He had been used to digging up warri­ ors of bygone days. But this was dif­ ferent He was afraid something was wrong with the machine, and began an investigation.

' Or Poi L*k* Village Kiptetai Kxlstlag CnudlUonk mt That Point. To the Public: Replying to an article reoently published and givetf much prominence by a Cijieago newspaper relative to con­ ditions at Fox Lake, I desire to etate the true facts. 1st. I deny most emphatically that, conditions here compare in any manner to the levee conditions of Chicago, as stated. Such a statement is an insult to all citisens and the good name of Fox Lake. Also a crime against its officers. 8nd. Property owners have not ap psaled to me for protecUojn, as stated. I always stand ready to immediately stamp out any lawlessness. 3rd. There are not forty saloons, as stated, but there are thirty hotels that serve drinks and seven saloons. 4th. I will pay $ 100 to anyone fur­ nishing me with evidence that will prove the existence of a blind pig in the village of Fox Lake, as stated. 5th. I will pay $100 to anyone fur- nishiug me with evidence to prove the existence in Fox Lake village of a so* oalled bumboat, as stated. oca. i win pay fiuo to Mr. <^oayie, the Law and Order League, or anyone else who will furnish me with evidence to convict those sending out circular letters as set forth in this newspaper article. 7th. I consider it an evidence of good faith when the bars do away with the usual swing screen (as stated) and con­ duct business in the open. In many cities the ordinances demand such action. 8th. The Mineola hotel is one of the best conducted hotels in the state and the statement as stated in the news­ paper article is malicious and false. 9tb. Mr. J. C. Diener of the Illinois hotel is our village treasurer and his character is above reproach. The state­ ment printed is false and malicious. 10th. There are no slot machines in operation, uor fs there any gambling in this village as stated. 11th. Of the thrss thousand people who were hese Decoration day five or six were off color. They were given to understand that their presence was not desired at Fox Lake in the future. All undesirables are warned to stay away. 12th. One dt two places may have transgressed the laws. They have been warned for the last time. I am only waiting for enough evidence to revoka their license. But why, good reader, should we all be condemned because a few creep in? 13th. Who is this Converse Mar Lie this arttale says has been fighting the saloon element for years? Was be not the original blind pig mau of Fox Lake long before we incorporated and did away with blind pigs? What about bis present blind pig at Long Lake? Was bis place ever without a slot machine? Is be not a disappointed offiee seeker? His own words iu the article referred to make him unworthy of belief. If you would know more ask any reliable busi nsss man of Lake county. 14th. We have been trying each year to make ourselves more worthy of your patronage. We have tried each year to iui^ruve the moral tone of our village. We have spent a great deal of money and time in improvements. We have spent a considerable sum in advertising the beauty aud advantages of our little village. We want to assure you that you can send your mother, your sister and your family to Fox Lake and feel that they Are free from immoral en­ vironment and will be protected.

H.Johnson forgot (for a sec ond) to sit still? resulting in the Indian crsft capsizing and letting its two occu­ pants into the gliding waters of that stream. There was an awful scramble for a minute or two as the spill took place within a few feet of the deep hole near the bridge. Luckily, however, the two, gents came out of it without a scratch. The mishap furnished a good laugh for the spectators who happened to-be in that part of town at the time. The funny part of it was that Johuson bad brought a bathing-suit "with him and made excellent use of it after the accident, while Covait was not so for­ tunate, and there wasn't a barrel in sight, either. <--h-.

McOenrv'a oldest business man, passed away very sudden­ ly at his home on Water street at 10:45 o'clock }ast Sunday morning, Jane 19, 1910. The deceased's heart had been caus­ ing him more or less tvonblo during the past six, years, but, with the exception of st fs™ uiOiiths, hs has b&cic tip and caring |or his business. He suffered a severe illness last winter and the end waa locked for at that time. He recov­ ered, however, and up to the time of his dea^h spent ail of bis time looking after his bnsiness interests. Last Sunday morning he rose at the usual hour and appeared to be in the best of spirits. He had waited on sev­ eral customers in the morning and was down at the bank of the river chatting with friends when he suddenly toppled over, and before medical aid reached him the end had n* HwaJ «niv « few seconds after ha fell. His wife and the members of bis tamiiy who were at home at the time arrived at his side just in time to see him pass to the great beyond. Mr. ftageln was born at Lissngen, Kreis Daun, Regtrungs Besirk Trier, Germany, March 24, 1844. He served three years in the German army, dur- wbich time he learned the gnn-smith's trade. At the age of twenty-five he received a letter from his brother, Anton, who was then in America, tell­ ing him of the great opportunitiee America bad to offer. The letter ap­ pealed to him and he left his birthplace for the land of the free, whers he landed in 1889. He first settled in Chicago, where he followed the gun smith occupation, and for several years before coming to McHenry he waa acting in the capacity of foreman at the Fairbanks^Scale com­ pany's Chicago factory. In the fall of 1871 he was united in marriage to Miss Barbara Schreiner, the ceremony taking plaoe In Chicago. Ten children were born to the union, all of whom, with a grief Btrioken frid ow, are left to mouru. The children are as follows: Mrs. M. D. Weber, Jos, D , John, Gertrude, Peter, Dora and Louise of this place; Mrs. Max Kline and Katie of Chicago and Mrs. George Smith of Kenosha, Wis. Besides these he leaves three sisters: Mrs, Anna Zens of Waukegan, Mrs. Gertrude Meslein of Chicago and one iu Germany; also two brothers, Michael of Chicago and Anton of McHenry. The deceased came to McHenry from Chicago in the year 1875 and ever Bince that time has successfully conducted a hardware store and machine shop in this village, his busiuess career here covering a period of thirty-five years an sxcellent record, indeed. Eight years ago he took bis oldest son, Joseph D., in partnership with him and since that time the firm has gone by the name of M. Engeln & Son. Mr. Engeln was a fine mechanic, there being few points in his line of business with which he was not thoroly familiar; in fact, the machine shop of the firm is one of the heat in the county. The business will be carried on henceforth by the junior member of the firm. Mr. Engeln was a charter member of St. Mary's Court, C. O. F. No. 196, and was the first charter member to pass away. He also acted on the board of health in McHenry for a number of years. Outside of this, however, be never allowed politics to take up his time. He was one of the men instru­ mental in founding the first German Catholic school in McHenry. which for many years stood on Washington street east of the parsuuage of St. Patrick's church. The old school building still stands, having been purchased by John Nelss at the time St. Mary's oongrega- tion was founded. The building is now used as a meeting ball by several socie­ ties of the village. Mr. Engeln In later years was also in part responsible for the launching of St, Mary's congrega­ tion. He wss a good, kind father and hus­ band and an honorable citisen and his departure from this life is sadly regret- ted by the community at large. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church here on Tuesday morn­ ing of this week and was very largely attended. Rev. A. Royer performed the last sad rites. Interment was in St. Mary's cemetery. We are beadqnarters for Fourth of Jaly goods. M. M. Niesen. Dedication of New Altar. The dedication of a new main altar; and patron feast of tha parish will be celebrated at the Volo Catholic church at 10 o'clock next Wednesday, June 29. Solemn high mass will be celebrated with two sermons, one in German an<i the other in English. The new altar, which is twenty feet high and of Gothic style, Is a work of Christian art iu mar­ ble and onyx effect with gold decora­ tions. The carving and sculpture work aTe done in high relief and artistically executed. All are welcome. tlaleu More Help Can Be Secured to Go to Work at Terra Cotta Factory. Unless enough men are secured to work at the Terra Cotta factory to make the workmen's special train that is now making daily trips between McHenry and Terra Cotta a paying venture the train will be taken off - July 1. This is the statement given out by the officials of the Terra Cotta factory and from the manner in which the statement is given we are certain the Terra Cotta people mean business. At the present time there are twenty- seven workmen riding on the train, but to make it self-supporting there Bhould be double that number. The business men who took up the help proposition with the Terra Cotta officials this spring surely worked hard to bring the venture to a success. After all the hard work put in by these people who wanted to boost McHenry, it now begins to look as if their labor had been put forth in vain. The twenty-seven McHenry men who are now working at the Terra Cotta factory are all pleased with their jobs and so far as we are ah«« • are making good wages. The bnslssn men of McHenry would surely do everything within reason and their power to keep the train going, but they cannot drive men to Terra Cotta. They are atn loss to know what to do regarding the proposition and it begins to look as if the train will be taken off the first of the month. Anyone looking for work should help the good cause along by applying at the Terra Cotta factory. Spencer's whole wheat flour is recom­ mended for stomach tronble. Try it 3t4t OUR WEEKLY PI!
