Withdrawal of Suapp Clears KiliiHlina la Kleveuth towfumloinl District, E^gin, III , July 81 --An Inter Ocean eorre^pondt^bas spent several days looking up political conditions in the eleventh congressional district and be found those conditions somewhat chaotic, politicians generally waiting for won! from Howard M. Snapp, pres ent congressman, either announcing his withdrawal from tite^race or his deter­ mination to take bis ehance in a three cornered^fight. The recent decision of the congress man to qnit clears the air and leaves an open field for Odonet Copiey of Aurora and Gtorge W. Conn of Woodstock. It has been evident for some time to political observers that a large percent age of the voters of this district, and particularly of Elgin, were dissatisfied with existing political conditions and wonld welcome a chauge from the old political methods. To this feeling is at­ tributed the drift of sentiment among tbe rank and file toward the candidate frbtn McHenry county, who promises a new deal in politics The condition was aptly expressed by a well known Kane county politician a few days ago, who remarked that Snapp had an organ- isitioc, hst ths people wore for George W. Conn of McHenry county. CONN'S STOCK IS SO A KINO. Since the withdrawal of Snapp from the contest Mr. Conn's stock has gone up with a bontid. He is a man new in tbe politics of the district and has a clean record, with a successful career as a business man and au educator. He started out as a teacher iu the public schools and later was one of the organ izers and cashier of a bank, from which position be resigned to enter upon the duties of superintendent of schools of McHenry county, to which office he was elected in 1902 and re-elected in 1906. He filled this office with ability and has been recognized as one of the lead­ ing and progressive educators of the state, having been appointed by Gover­ nor Deneen as a member of the state educational commission to revise and codify the school laws. Altbo he has made but few public speeches as yet in the district, those few have proven him to be a forceful speaker, who gives his audiences something to think about. He has thrown some bombshells which have caused consternation in the Copley camp, and which they seem un­ able to answer SOME CONN BOMBSHELLS. Among them are the following: "Colonel Copley claims ».o be the father of the primary law, and y°t he roughly throttled bis own child when he spent weeks aud mouths in Spring­ field in defeating A. J. Hopkins, who had received a large majority of tbe popular vote at tbe primaries." "The great i>olitical battle of the time is between the people and corporate in­ terests, aud. with corporate interests on trial it is untimely to put a corporation man on the jury." "I stand for a tariff commission; it will take the tariff out of politics. "I believe that the tariff <s the best we could get under the conditions, but conditions weren't right." "Tbe false leader is the man who at­ tempts to commercialize tne most sacred possession of the American citizen--hi* vote." Tbere can be no doubt that this line of argument is having an effect and especially in the rural districts, and Colonel Copley has discovered that he is dealing with a live wire. COI'LKY IN VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN. . Colouel Copley is making a vigorous campaign thruont the district, having invaded McHenry county several months ago and of late has encroached npon Snapp's preserves in Will county. He points to his successful business career and the fact that be represents the larg­ est corporate interests in the district, as reasons why he should represent tbe eleventh congressional district in con­ gress. He also appeals for support on the ground that he is an "Insurgent" and a LaFollette Republican, and this argument meets with favor among Dem­ ocrats and is enlisting some Democratic voters in his cause. He is rated at sev­ eral times a millionaire; is the owner of a newspaper published in Aurora and another published in Elgin and will not be stinted for money with which to conduct his campaign. COPLEY BARREL IS FACTOR. Ths unknown quantity with which even tbe politicians are nnable to reckon at this time is tbe extent to which the liberal use of great wealth can commer­ cialize the press and the voter. With conditions equal aud the people natur­ ally inclined to the McHenry couuty man, on aoooant of his ability and cleap record, his success at the primaries wonld seem like a matter of course, but how far the opening of a barrel may ef­ fect the campaign can not be deter mined in advance with any degree of certainty. The eleventh congressional district, which is composed of Kane, McHenry, Will and DuPage counties, is largely agricultural and its people are intelli gent and well to do, and it is not prob able that they can be greatly influenced by such means. However, the contest promises to be a lively scrimmage and is looked forward to as a test of the ability of a man in moderate circumstances, altbo possessed of brain* and a clean record, to success­ fully cope with a millionaire under the primary election laws.

Aurora Dally Bcaron Believe* Will COQI- ty Republicans Are With Copley. LFmin Anrora Dally Beacon, July 35.] Public interviews witb leading Will county Republicans who havesupported Congressman Suapp for years show that they are for Col. I C. Copley of Aurora now that Mr. Snapp has dropped ont of the race. These men are Fred Bill, formerly sscrctsry of 9?2!! central committee and present secretary of the senatorial committee, Thomas Stevenson, chairman of the present Re­ publican county central committee and candidate for ^hocviff; lint V*fy VVGod, secretary of the present county central committee aud attorney for the high­ way commissioners, and H. O. Williams, present sheriff of Will county. in addition to his other prominent po sitious, Mr Hill is also master in chan eery for J udge Lawrence Dibele of the circuit and appellate courts and a brother in law of Congressman Snapp. HKCLAKE FOR CXJPLKY. These men publicly declare that Mr. (?onn is an impossibility and they read­ ily concede hts defeat aud the nomina' tion of Colonel Copley. It is evident that they prefer an honorable enemy to a traitor to a cause. The Joliet herald publishes the fol­ low! g interviews with the Suapp uieu named above: Fred HiI'; "The anti-machine forces have ilemoustrated that Continual ham mering at a man will finally defeat him. Vlr Coplev hat* the upper hand, but I feel sure that lie will do what he can to have the political sore spots recrudesce. I believe that Mr. Copley will get the bulk of the so called machine vote Whil« I have great respect for Mr. Snapp and his wisdom, I cannot help but feel that the internecine straggle in the ranks of tbe Republica* s in this dis­ trict will lie reduced to a minimum, if not disappear entirely " CXtNN IS UNKNOWN.

Up to tbe present time the entire course has never been used, tbe start and finish of the race taking place at a point opposite N. E. Barbian's residence. Beginning next Sunday tbe entire course will be used. The race next Suuday will be for the John J. Buch cup, which is a fine one. A second prize, in tbe form of a box of good cigars, donated by N. E. Barbian, will be given to the owner of the boat finishing second iu the race. The officers of the club would like very much to see a larger list of entries at next Sunday's race. Especially would they like to see more non-owners of boats enter tbe races for the prize offered byCapt. S. M. Walker.

Mr. and Mrs. (laa Hubert and daugh­ ter have returned to their home in Huntley after a week's outing at Pista- feee Bay. Mr. and Mrs. Riehemann and daugh­ ters, Henrietta and Helen, of Elgin have rented a cottage at Pistakee Bay, which they expect to occupy until Sept. 1. Mrs. Charles (Joing and daughter. Vera, and Miss Mabel Fennick of Hunt­ ley are enjoying a two weeks' encamp­ ment on the banks of Fox river near %« s-uaiiuout y . McCollum's lake is getting its share of resorters this summer. All the cot­ tages at that point are well filled. Be­ sides this tbere are numerous camping parties putting np there this summer. The world's most successful medicine for bowel complaints is Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It has relieved more pain and suffering, and saved more lives than any other medicine in use. Invaluable for chil­ dren and adults. Sold by all dealers. Mr. and Mrs R L. Altman and son, Robert, and Mr. Lnndy and son of Chi­ cago are in camp at McCollum's lake. Seven of the Chicago Telephone com­ pany's employes from the windy city passed Saturday and Sunday there. Work on the bungalow that is being constructed by the Chicago Telephone company's employes is progressing nicely. Business at the various hotels along Fox river and at Pistakee Bay has been quite brisk during the past week. The Orchard Beach hotel, as well as the hotel at Howell's Villas, have been taxed to their capacity all week. The Mc­ Henry House is proving itself a great auto rest and no lees than a hundred machines stopped at that place during Saturday and Suuday. Bnch's summer resort has been well filled all week and is doing a big business. The annual minstrel show given under the auspices of the Pistakee Yacht club was held at the club house last Saturday evening and a large number of club members aud resorters turned out to witness the entertainment, which proved to be of high class aud pleasing in every particular. Those who took part in the evening's entertainment are to be con­ gratulated u|M>n the able manner in which the minstrel was given. Tbe event was highly enjoyed by tbe large crowd present. Another free-for-all handicap motor boat race will take place at Pistakee Bay next Snnday afternoon. The race will be run for a beautiful marine clock presented by Jos J. Mertes, proprietor of the Oak Park hotel. Trial racing will begin promptly at 2 o'clock p. m. and the race for the prize will take place immediately after the trial races have completed. The races will start and .finish iu front of the Oak Park hotel. Any boat, be it large or small, fast or slow, may enter tbe race and as tbe event will be a handicap affair each and every boat has an equal chance of car­ rying away the afternoon's laurels and grand prize. Better rig up your boat and get in on the sport. The more tbe merrier. The free for all motor boat race and balloon ascension given under tbe auspices of the Pistakee Yacht club last Sunday afternoon proved a big success, the races aud ascension being witnessed by no less than 5(H) people. Tbe Kings ley House, iu front of which the big doings took place, cared for over one hundred guests alone. The race was won by a boat owned by Messrs. Oscar and Ed Miller. The winners of tbe race were presented with ths $100 stop watch which was donated by the popu­ lar proprietor of the Kingsley House, A. H. Kingsley. The balloon ascension, owrn^to tbe terrific wind that was blowing the entire afternoon, did not take place until 6:30 in the evening. The ascension was one huge success, Prof. Montgomery, who made the aerial flight, proving himself as represented. While tbe balloon was making tbe ascension the professor was performing perilous feats on a trapese attached to the bottom of the huge ball of air. Before the audience bad time to fully realize what was happening, the balloon shot np into tbe air to a distance fit probably two miles. The balloon and its owner lauded safely on tbe Ingleside road about two miles from tbe starting point. »U I.lfe Worth Saving ?** Mrs. Mollie McRaney, Prentiss, Miss., writes that she had a severe case of kid­ ney and bladder trouble and that four bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy cured her sound and well. Sbe closes her let­ ter by saying: "I heartily recommend Foley's Kidney Remedy to any sufferer of kidney disease. It saved my life." F. Masquelet. Mathias D. Weber expired at his home here very suddenly at about the hour of ten last Sunday morning. Tbe deceased bad not been in good health for about four months, altho he was up and about right up until the time of his death. Mr. Weber, until about four months ago, was employed ia the bar ropm of IU® tJOuu J. ouCu uOiei aud CUILIIUCI T6- sort. He first began to cothplain of not feeling well early in March and a short time later was forced to give up bis po­ sition. About a month or so ago he be­ gan to fail quite rapidly and during the past two weeks it could be seen that he was losing ground daily, altho the end was not looked for so soon. On Suuday morning he arose as usual. His wife prepared his breakfast between nine and ten o'clock. It was while eating his breakfast that he was over­ taken with a severe coughing spell. He left the table and went outside, appar­ ently for fresh air, and soon after re­ turning hemorrhage set in and before medical attention arrived he bad breathed his last. Mathias D. Weber was born in Mc­ Henry on March fi. 1874 and has passed his entire life in this village. He at­ tended the German parochial school here aud made his first communion and was confirmed at the Jobnsburgh Cath­ olic church. After he left school he worked at odd jobs that were to be had and lat<r on entered into the saloon bus­ iness. First he was connected with his brother, Peter H., who now conducts the Northwestern hotel and buffet, and later he operated a place of his own. He was' then occupying the Edward Long building that was destroyed dur­ ing the big West Side fire of March, 1906. He next engaged in business in the Mrs. Jacob Bonslett block in Center- ville, but of late he has been engaged as previously stated. He was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Engeln at St. Mary's church here on October 23, 1900, the Rev. Deere performing the ceremony. The union was blessed with one child, Violo, who passed to the great beyond four years ago last January. Thus he is sarvived by a heartbroken wife, a sorrowing mother, Mrs. Anton Weber; three sis­ ters, Misses Katie and Gertrude, of this plaoe and Mrs. Jacob Miller of Zenda, Wis ; also two brothers, Peter H. and William, both of this village. The subject of this sketch was always one of McHenry's best liked and popu lar young men. He was kind of heart and numbered his friends by the score. From a child up lie was always indus­ trious and active and ypas held in tbe very highest esteem by all who knew him. He was a charter .member of the Mo- Henry Aerie of EagUs, which order at­ tended his fnneral in a body. The funeral took place from his late home on the corner of Broad and Court streets and theuce to St. Mary's Catho­ lic church on Tuesday morning of this week, Rev. A. Royer performing tbe last sad rites. The funeral was very largely attended. Interment took place in St. Mary's cemetery. X CAKO OF THAXKS.
