The parade will consist of floats and march­ ers, headed by a Chicago brass b«nd: and will take pistes thru the priucipai streets of the villa fare. The parade will finish at the banks of $ox river, where the McHenry Power Boat elno will poll off the following interesting program during the afternoon ami evading: PROGRAM.

Don't leave McHenry the Fourth just because there will be no regular cele­ bration, but remain in town.

Phil H Harrison of Aides, but for many years a resident of Rinp^ood, is out for the office of county superintend­ ent of schools for McIIenry county, and if it were left for the people of McHenry and Ringwood to decide, the office sore­ ly would be his after th« coming pri­ maries and election. Mr. Harrison is probably known to most of our readers, bnt for the benefit of those who have never met him we give a short nynr>p«i» of his life: Mr. Harrison is strictly a McHenry county citiseen in every eeose of the word, his grandparents on both sides coming to Ringwood in 1844 45, where bis parents grew t» maturity and where he was born and raised, entering school at the usual age. Fourteen years vers passed in the old brick school house at Ringwood, thirteen of them being under the guidance of that veteran among teachers, Wm. Nickle, ex county superintendent of schools, a greater percentage of whose pupils proved their worth as teaebers than any other institution of learning in McHenry county at that time, and whos^ kindly commendation Mr. Har­ rison possesses. The other year was passed under ther cars or a university graduate. Mr. Harrison graduated with bigb honors from the Business Department of Jennings Seminary and Aurora Normal School of Aurora. III., Northern Indiana Normal School, Val­ paraiso, lud , the records of both insti­ tutions showing that he was very profi cieni in bis work. THREE (JUNE WEDDINGS M'HENRY Y6UNG PEOPLE ARE VIC­ TIMS OF CUPID'S DARTS. FIRE WRECKS BIG CLUB HOUSE MAKfUSOW Mr. Harrison began teaching in the Cole district in Burton township nearly twenty years ago, aud has followed the profession ever since It has been his great/desire to have the boys and girls see the good things in store for them in the country and on the farm. That he has kept abreast of the times in school matters is evinced by a glance at his public library, which contains several hundred volumes of reference and text books, by the best authors on their respective subjects, besides being a lib­ eral subscriber to many educational periodicals of reooguised merit. Mr. Harrison's school at Alden is one of which he may well he proud. That he understands what is needed and thoroly knows how to get the need, and that the fact is recognised by his own peo pie, is thoroly shown by bis hearty sup­ port. That the residents of the adjoin ing districts have iaith in Mr. Harri­ son's ability as an educator is showu by tbe large number of tuition pupils that have attended the Alden school during tbe past > ears. Mr. Harrison points with pride to a photo of bis class in bookkeeping, for Which a special desk was prepared. The friends and patrons becoming in teres ted in tbe work, a uigbt class was formed, which was simply intended for the pupils that had been unable to fin­ ish the work in the school, but included many older people of influence and worth in any community. He is proud of bis teaching record and counts among his girls some of the best home-makers in the land, and among his boys those who are meeting with marked success as merchants, mechanics and practical men of life, men able to pnll their weight and help the nnfortnnate. The school officials and teachers of McHenry county have gone on record in support of tbe teacher who has had successful experience in teaching, now, with more than thirty five years spent in school work, more than half of which has been (sncoessful experience in teaching. Mr. Harrison, who has been an avowed can­ didate for two years, comes before tbe voters of McHenry oounty and ask a that they give bim tbe office of oonnty superintendent of schools, trusting to his ability and integrity to keep and maintain the on a parity with any other county in tbe state of Illinois.

A. spectacular fire that attracted hun­ dreds of cottagers destroyed the build­ ing of the Pistakee Country club, on the south shore of Nippersink lake near Fox Lake Tuesday night. The flames broke out at 11 o'clock and in an hour the structure was in ruins. Despite efforts to save the contents of the club house practically nothing was rescued. The Barnes spread so rapidly that firemen from the village of Fox lake and summer residents along the shore of Fox and Pistakee lakes early gave up hope of checking the flames or saving any of the new furnishings. A large number of cottagers watched the fire from motor boats and other craft 5n the lake. The fire sent a glow into the sky that was seen for miles aroftnd tbe lake country. Flames from salamanders used by plumbers working in the basement of the building, it was said, started the fire. T^iere was no fire extinguishing apparatus on the grounds and it took nearly half au hour before the arrival of the firemen from Fox l^ke Bv that- time the flames had spread to every part of the structure. Theclub house bad jnst been remod­ eled and refurnished at a cost of $15,000. It was a three story frame structure, 100x40 feet, and formerly was owned by the Nippersink club. It contained thir­ ty rooms, and was furnished ready for summer occupants. Preparations were under way to open the clu'o house July I and work was be­ ing rushed to that end. Among prom- iueut members of the club are Senator Lorimer, Mayor Busse, County Clerk Haas and a uumber of leading Chicago politician*.^, Jambs Pugh is president of the club, Frank Pasdeloup, secretary, and Henry Klein, treasurer.
