Burns of Bel- vide re was in town last Saturday boom­ ing his candidacy for renomination to the office he now holds. Mr. Barns has many warm friends in McHenry and vicinity and we believe if it were left to a McHenry vote to decide he would surely receive the nomination in a walk. Frank W. Bennett, who left McHenry some ten years ago, is here shaking hands with, his many old time friends. Mr. Behnett is now employed by the Consolidated Milling company in the capacity of manager of the St. Paul, Minn , branch, where he is now located. He paid this office a very pleasant call the other day and among otber things informed us that his folks were all en­ joying good health and prosperity. He also spoke favorably of the Kennedy family, who left McHenry some years ago. *"Dwigbt Kennedy, who worked at the barber trade here, Is now and has for some years back bean operating a first-class tonaorial park* at Bttpsrfor, Wfe William H. Cowlln of Woodstock Favors Comrade Per That Office. Editor McHenry Plaindealer:--Com­ rades of the war of 186165: Why not Deputy Sheriff George Eckert of Wood­ stock for our next sheriff? Also of our friends, neighbors and citizens tbruout the county we ask the same question. George Eckert is one of those men "Who, when our country called for men, came from forge, store and mill, from workshop, farm and factory, the broken ranks to fill. He left his quiet, happy home and those he loved so well to vanquish all our Union foes or fail where otherte fs!5." This lifelong friend and army com rade, Deputy Sheriff Eckwrt, hud held the office of sheriff of McHenry county previous to twelve years ago for one or two short terms, and since that time has been chief deputy sheriff for all the other sheriffs who have filled the office. This proves without a question that he is thoroly capable to transact any and all busings connected with the offiec of sheriff of McHenry county. And we believe that it is fully recog nized by a Urge circle of friends and acquaintances thruoot the county that there are uoue who understand the working of the office better or would be more conscientious in performing sauie than would George Eckert. Comrade Eckert was born in Alsace, France, in 1848, consequently is now sixty-six years of age. Coming from his birthplace with hi* parents in 18.M), they located at Greenwood, where he worked at farm labor snuituers, usually attending the country schools during the winter. He cauie to Woodstock iu I860 and commenced clerking for the firm of A. W. Fuller & Co , the leading general store in this city at that time In August, 1863, he enlisted in Co ui pa uy F, Ninety-fifth Illinois Infantry Vol­ unteers, under the late Capt. William H. Stewart, and was at ouce appointed a sergeant. The regiment was ordered into active service immediately, and was engaged in several battles and skirmishes, losing quite heavily at the siege of Vicksburg, where for forty- seven days it was under fire. It was in the two desperate charges of the 19th and 22d of Ma), when it lost heavily. His command ever did excellent work, both in battles and on the long, tedious marches. Comrade Eckert was at all times present with his command during the entire three years of service Tins we know personally, as we often met the Ninety-fifth during the first year* of the war. Here at home, whefe Mr. Eckert has lived the greater part of the time, for about sixty years, he is universally ad­ mired and respected by all. As a neigh­ bor and friend be has many excellent traits of character. The esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens has often been proven by the fact that he has held several offices in and under our city government, where remuneration was little or nothing, but where be has given entire satisfaction. There is no doubt but that there are many other good men in McHenry coun­ ty capable of holding the office of sheriff. But we claim there are none who would be more conscientious or just in the ex­ ecution of the duties of that office. Furthermore, we claim that when any man shall have responded, as did Comrade Eckert, to the call of Abraham Lincoln for "three hundred thousand more," and give his services to aid in the preservation of the Union, and to save the Stars and Stripes from being trampled in the dust for all time, that they are entitled to whatever can be given from that same country, provided they can perform as satisfactorily the duties required. Comrades and friends, while it has often been our good pleasure to help in our humble way to office an old comrade whom we know to be deserving, in this instance we feel that we would put in office for the last time an old soldier who went to the front in '62 and served till '65, the close of the war. There are few of these "old boys" who have not pnmml the three score years and ten mark, and with it any thought or re queet for oft.ce. The number grows less each year and soon all shall have an­ swered the last roll call. On the fifteenth day of next Septem­ ber the Republican voters of McHenry county will be called upon at the pri­ maries to decide as to their choice for sheriff for the next four years. Will yon not tarn out and support that brave soldier and excellent citizen, who has been tried and never fonnd wanting* WILLIAM H. COVVLIN.

Ringling's carry eighty cars and many cities are requiring a license of fifty dollars a car for sbows charging fifty cents admission. On the other band, the big Sells Floto circus charges twen­ ty five cents admission and pays the usual low license fee. ' This action may foretell the come down of the big circus combination.

The motor boat race pulled off by the McHenry Power Boat club last Sunday afternoon pro.'ed the best that has thus far been run this season, the "Percy," owned and driven by its owner, John D Lodtn, winning the race as-well as the prize offered. The race was run without any time allowance, compelling the entries to run on their trial time, thus making the first boat that crossed the line nearest to its tnai time or best previous season's record the winner. The judges used a novel method of announcing the winner, by placing the results in a promiceut place among the owners of boats and allowing them the privilege of picking the boat which, in their opinion, finished nearest to the time of :MK> 09, meaning nine secouds past three o clock By finishing at 3 00:10 the "Percy" was unanimously declared the winner. It may be seen by the above that the "Percy" came within one second of making a perfect run, a feat which is very seldom equalled. The finish of the race was very close aud exciting and was witnessed by quite a nnmiier of enthusiasts. The boats that enteted the race and finished, together with the time that each finished, is given t>elow: Sharpshooter.. . 3:54:29 Paul Armstrong, owner.

BIG DOINGS AITPISTAKEE SIMER RESORT NOTES MISS MARGARET ANN WALSH DOINGS AMONG RESORTERS DUR- ING THE Wg£K. Motor Bout Kane nu<t Balloon AkopiihIoii Next Sunday Afternoon. One of the biggest' events ever pulled off by the Pistakee Yacb^ club will take place at Pistakee Bay next Sunday aft­ ernoon in the form t>f a free for all motor boat race aud balloon ascension. The big doings will take place in front of the Kingsley House and may be wit­ nessed from the porch and lawn-of that popular resort. The motor boat race will take place at 1.30 p. m. It will be a free for all and will be run in squads of ten if it is iiossible to do so. After the ten, or whatever number of boats that wilt make up a squad, have com­ pleted the course, the two boats finish­ ing nearest to their trial time will be selected to compete in the last beat for the prize offered, a $100 stop watch. Jt is expected that the largest entry that ever took part iu a motor boat race at this point will compete lor the valu­ able prize offered. The balloon ascension by Prof. Mont­ gomery will take place immediately after the last heat of the motor boat race. Prof. Montgomery, who performs per* ilous feats upon a trapeze attached to the bottom of the balloon while the as- ceusiou is being made aud during its stay in the air, is one of the most daring aerialiststhat the world has ever known. He has traveled the world over and has performed his nerve-racking feat be­ fore millions of people. Mr. Kiugsley, proprietor of the King­ sley House, has also secured the services of a Chicago orchestra, which will fur­ nish music at bis place dnring the en­ tire day. The Pistakee Bay people are making arrangements to eutertain one of the largest crowds that bas ever assembled at that beautiful resort. Large posters have been printed aud posted at all the surrounding resorts aud towns, and from the manuer in wbich the event is being talked up we would not be sur­ prised to see several thousand people at Pistakee next Sunday.

This place is gaining in popularity each week. Mrs. A. Buettner of Chicago passed a few days the last and the fore part of this week at her cottage on the east shore of Fox river. Miss Janet Macintosh of Chicago is spending the week as the guest of Miss Lillian Buettner at the Dr. A. Bu&ttner cottage on the banks of Fox river. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Lasher of El­ gin passed a recent day with the Lasher boys, who are in camp on the banks of Fox river near McHenry. Mrs John Schermann and son, John, who have a summer home at Rosedale on Fox river, were among the Chicago p^s^engcrs from the McHenry station Monday morning.

The camp during tbe next two weeks will be occupied by Mrs. Charles Johnson and family, Miss Elizabeth Zink aud other Chicagoans. Don't forget the pavilion dance at Nell's Columbia park pavilion next Wednesday evening, July 27.

Wells set the fractnred member and at this writing the little girl is getting along nicely. Mr. Ott is a brother of Milton Ott, a former McHenry resident, and who while here was employed in the Barbian Bros.' cigar factory. Chenoa (III ) Times: The main reason why Noah H. Pike returned from Pis­ takee Lake was because he ttow sees a good opportunity to be elected a mem­ ber of the school board. Noah would rather have a long term, but be will be satisfied with a short one at the present time. He believes that if be is once elected he will be his own successor, and so after all it makes little difference to him whether he iB now chosen for a long or a short term. One thing Noah H. Pike wishes distinctly understood, he is a candidate for school director. Mrs. Heury Zahn of Chicago, who was a guest at the Bach summer resort, met with a painful accident while stand­ ing on Fox river bridge last Saturday evening, when she was struck and knocked down by a passing anto. The accident occurred when two autos at­ tempted to pass eaoh otber at a point on tbe bridge where the injured lady was standing at tbe time. Mrs. Zahn is quite an elderly lady and the injury may prove more serious than was first expected. She was taken to Chicago on the Sunday evening train. Dr. N. J. Nye was called into attendance. F H Schau celebrated the winning of tbe Schneider cop in tbe boat race that was held a couple of weqjks ago at hie home at Rosedale last Saturday evening, when he invited friends and members of tbe McHenry Power Boat club to the number of about fifty to pass the evening with him. A cham­ paign supper was served and a social time was had by all present. Mr. Schau is one of those good Uatured fellows who does not believe in doing things by halves and whenever he undertakes to entertain his friends it is in strict ac cordauce with the familiar saying that "The best in the bouse is none too good for Reilly " That he lived op to this saying, and then some, eaoh and every oue prwent is willing to,-testify. Moving pictures at the Central San* day, July It must have been with a feeling of "thy work has been well done" that her Maker called from this world at 12:30 a. m. last Saturday morning the soul of this section's purest aud most beloved daughters. Miss Margaret Ann Walsh, daughter of Mrs. Ellen Walsh, her death occurring at the* old family homestead a short distance south of this place in Nnuda township. It was also with the deepest regret and pain that the people of McHenry and the surronuding country received the sad news last Saturday morning, for it may be said of the decease that a sweeter and a more beloved woman never lived. Her de&th is attributed to a general breakdown and came after months of suffering and pain. About six months ago the deceased first began to complain of ill health. It was not long after that the members of her family began to realize that her condition was not improving. She was given every attention that loving rela­ tives and friends, together with the best medical skill, could bestow. Not a moment since she took ill was she without the very best of care that humanity affords, but it was of no avail and she answered the Almighty's call with an air of satisfaction that is seldom equalled. Miss Walsh was born on the old home­ stead on July 18, 1858, and, with the ex­ ception of a few years in Chicago, has passed her entire life there. She was a purely home woman, her entire thoughts at all times resting upon the members of her family and friends and things of a spiritual nature. From a child up she learned to love all that was noble and good and in her school days proved her­ self an apt pupil. She first attended the country school and completed her stndies in McHenry, where at the age of eighteen she received her certificate to teach, the Rev. Nickel being county superintendent of schools at the time. She never took up teaching, however, but followed the paths of life that she thought to Ite of more use to her in life Among tbe great many good things that may be written and said of tbe de­ ceased is the interest she took in church work and the many good acts of charity accomplished, ^he was a true and de­ voted member of St. Patrick's Catholic church of this place and ever since it^. organization was one of the foremost members of the Altar and Rosary soci­ ety. Whenever the society undertook to accomplish a deed of charity Miss Walsh was on band with heart and soul to make the venture a success. A bet­ ter member and a more interesting worker the society has never known. It was Miss Walsh's ancestors who were instrumental in the foundation of St. Patrick's parish in McHenry, and that the true spirit of those before her was born in and continually practiced by her will be shown by the many kind and worthy deeds accomplished during life. ' The loss of Miss Walsh will be keenly felt by the members of her family, her sister church and society workers, her uncountable friends and the populace at large. She leaves to mourn her departure a heartbroken mother, Mrs. Ellen Walsh, six brothers and three sisters, her father and one brother having preceded her in death. The living brothers and sisters are: Karin and Edwin of Chicago; Jay Frank of South Dakota; John, Walter and Richard of McHenry ; Mrs. P. Cos- tello of Elgin; Mrs. John Walsh and* Mrs. C. W. Gibbs of this place. The funeral services were conducted from St. Patrick's Catholic church here on Monday morning and were attended by an unnsually large concourse of sor­ rowing relatives and friends. In ful­ fillment of a request made before her death, her six brothers carried her body to the last resting place, St. Patrick's eemetery. Rev. D. Lehane, pastor of St. Patrick's church, performed the last sad rites and paid tbe deceased one of the most eloquent tributes ever listened to in the history of the church. The floral contributions were numerous and beautiful. Many costly pieces were do­ nated by relatives, friends and societies. •CARD OF THANKS. We, the undersigned, wish to publicly thank all those who so kindly assisted us during tbe sickness and after the death of our beloved one, Margaret Ann Walsh. The deeds of kindness and sym­ pathy extended are most highly appre­ ciated and will never be forgotten. Yours in sorrow, Miis WAI.SH AND FAMILY. His Sixty-fourth Birthday. When G. W.
