Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Wetterer and little daughter of Chicago are guests at the F. H. Schan cottage at Rosedale. Misses Lena Sehau and Laura Menn- zenberg of Chicago are passing the week at the F H. Schau cottage on Fox river. The free-for all motor boat race for the Jos. J. Mertes marine clock at Pis- takee Bay last Sunday afternoon brought out about Forty entries and the contest developed into a most exciting one. The "Dreadnaught," owned by Edward Bankes, was declared the winner by the judges. The race was witnessed by a large crowd of spectators. Probably not all are aware, bnt never­ theless it's a fact, that McCollntn's lake is destined to become a most favorable spot among resetters. At present there are about a dozen cottages along the banks of this beautiful body of water. E. P. Flanders, who owns quite a stretch of land on the northwest shore of the lake, has disposed of eleven lots up to date and is receiving inquiries almost every week from prospective buyers. To date four cottages have been erected up­ on the land disposed of by Mr. Flanders, with another building, the Brookfield clnb house, under construction. The club house will be of frame 32x50, with accommodations for twenty five. The foundation is already completed and lumber on the grounds ready for con­ struction work. Among the very latest Chicagoans to purchase lots at this point are Messrs. Frank Brunke and William Franke, both of whom will build. FREE FOR ALL MOTOR BOAT RACE. A free-for-all motor boat race will take place in front of Stilling's summer resort at Pistakee Bay Sunday, Aug. 7. Motor boat racing is destined to become one of the greatest water Bports that the world has ever known. Clubs are being formed thruout the entire land. At Pistakee the sport has been enthus­ iastically followed for several seasons ana this year mere interest than eyer is being shown by resorters and boat own­ ers. The race on Sunday, Aug. 7, for a beautiful electric search light, made especially for use on a motor boat, is already the talk of the lake region and a big entry is expected. The prize was donated by Ben Stilling, the popular proprietor of Stilling's summer resort, and be, as well as all other motor boat enthusiasts, hopes to see a large crowd turn out to watch the sport. Trial rac­ ing begins at 2 o'clock p. m. and the big race takes place an hour later. The race will start and finish at Stilling's pier. Music will be furnished by the Johnsburgh brass band. Bring yonr wife, father, mother, sisters and broth­ ers, your sweetheart, friends, neigh­ bors, relatives and> all others that yon may influence to come.

Cast of Characters: Spot," the Boarding Boss John Cunningham Happy Hooligan John Duffy Pots and Kettles Thos. M. Bnrke Big Ned (who is absent) A. J. Ray Chorus--Mrs. Spot Cunningham, ^Irs. J. Peyton, Mrs. T. M. Burke, Merry Widow Mrs. M. Ward, Miss M. Cun­ ningham, Miss A. Ray. Act I.--Old Spot sitting on his suit case soliloquizing.--Farewell, a long farewell, to my greatness. Last week I was the proud possessor of the title of boarding boss, but now, alas) it has van­ ished truly. Now indeed I can sympa­ thize with Big Ned, for on last Sunday evening, with the reputation of being the only boarding boss of the Honey Dew who ever saw his guests to the train, I laughed and made merry over Big Ned's lonesomeness. But, alas) I now feel the pangs and my heart is lonely How could I have been so cruel? (Hysterical weeping). Enter Happy Hooligan.--Oh, Spot, why so disconsolate If Cheer up! You'se surely was the best boarding boss that ever was. For any trouble you may have had, blame C. I. Hogan. Enter Pots and Kettles.--Why all this unhappiness? Did I not do good work during your term as boarding boss? If not, then do not blame me, for I sure­ ly did my b&lt. So, cheer up, Spot, and join in the chorus. The ladies are about to sing. Chorus (sung to the air of "The Un­ dertaker's Special"), You may linger, but we will get you yet. Life ain't all sun and roses, As people ought to know. If wasn't any showers, The roses wouldn't grow. Life ain't all easy sailin' The's breakers, more or less, If wasn't any failures, We wouldn't know success. The roses need the sunshine, Also a little rain. Life needs a lot of pleasure, Also a little pain. Too much of one or t other Is harmful, goodness knows. Then let us keep on hopin' To blossom like the rose. Tootl Toot! The train is gone. Whose fault was it? C. I. Hogan's. HONEY DEW NOTES. Three members of the Honey Dew Gun club arrived at the clnb house with their families and friends on Monday, July io, 1910, for their sumiiiet outing. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Cunningham, Mr. and Mrs. P. Peyton, Mr. and Mrs. T. Martin Bnrke, Matt, Florence and Robert Peyton, Eleanor Cunningham, Misses Anna Ray and Margaret Cunningham,. Anthony Ray (alias Big Otto) Thos. Goods and Thos Favero (alias The Hall Room Boys), and Eddie Kelly. On Tuesday the beys took the to Fox Lake on their boat, "Indian, and everybody enjoyed themselves very much. Wednesday we took a ride to Johns* burgh and baek. "Some of us" Thurs­ day took a ride to MoHenry and back, also to the Elgin oottage, and everybody enjoyed the ride. Friday Messrs. Ray, Cunningham, Peyton and Burke took a trip to Wil- mot, Wis., on the "Indian," leaving the boys asleep. We started about5a-m. and made the trip in record time. Upon our arrival home we were sorry to learn the boys could not find anything to eat without the boat. The day crew would like to know if they wanted to eat the boat. Saturday we took a trip to McHenry and back on foot and the exercise was enjoyed by all. Sunday was a very qniet day as some were going home and most everybody was tired of the long trips taken on the "Indian." Fddie Ray and Margaret Mnrphy sp at their week end with ns and Eddie * ( , managed to instill enough courage into the midnight crew, Goode, Favero and Kelly, to take a trip a little farther than the lake, so they started to Wisconsin, but we learned they ran on a sand bar in Nippersink lake and were glad to re­ turn to their r,M quarters, Fos river. So the boys had to stick to the same waters, Pistakee lake on the north and the dam on the south, only when Mr. Peyton took the wheel to Fox Lake Tuesday. Meesrs. Goode, Favero, Kelly, Tony and Eddie Ray and Miss Margaret Mur­ phy returned to Chicago Sunday, July 24. We were sorry to see them leave. The next week was to be remembered by those present. J. Duffy joined ns Sunday and with his help holding down the cushions Mr. Peyton took everybody in the "Indian" to Grass lake, Fo* lake and all the connecting points. Wednesday we attended the dance at Johnsburgh and had a dandy time. Several trips were made to the lotns beds and we returned with large bunch­ es to decorate our club house. Friday Mrs. Ward came to spend the week end and was a welcome visitor. Saturday night we were visited by Mr. Perrins in Manzell, A1 Gerlock, J. and E. Ray. Sunday Mr. Perrins took the ladies out in hiB machine while some of the boys made a last trip to the lotns beds to bring a supply to their friends in Chi­ cago. Several of the boys present took unexpected dips into the river from the pier in front of the club house,--J. T. Cunningham, Thos ^Burke (twice), Matt Peyton and Wm. Manzel. The latter tried to make a name for himself by going in "head first." He was rescued by the life savers, Matt and Robert Pey­ ton. We all returned to Chicago Sun­ day, sorry to leave the old Fox river. J. T. CUNNINGHAM, P. PEYTON, T. BURKE. New* From Freeeott, Arizona. In renewing her subscription to The Plaindealer, Mrs. W. L. Fox of Pres- cott, Arizona, says: "We very much enj°I the weekly coming of The Plains dealer. To ns it is always interesting and only once has it failed to come in the last two years. I sometimes wonder if the readers of The Plaindealer would be interested in a letter written of our beautiful mile-high city of Prescott. Comparatively, so little is known of Arizona in the East, altho we are about to add another star to the grand old flag. Her mineral and agricultural re­ sources, her unsurpassed and unexcelled climatic conditions, her wonderfully fertile valleys, snow-capped and rock- ribbed mountains, her grand canyon and petrified forests, which are mar­ velous and world-wide wonders, make this a community which appeals to the farmer, miner, painter, poet and artist." Mrs. Fox, whose maiden name was Miss Harriet Tilton, resided i^ McHenry some years ago and will be favorably remembered by many of our readers. We hope to produce one of her letters at a near future date. From Sickness to "Excellent Health." So says Mrs. Chas. Lyon, Peoria, 111.: "I fonnd in your Foley Kidney Pills a prompt and speedy cure for backache and kidney trouble which bothered me for many months. I am now enjoying excellent health which I owe to Foley Kidney Pills." F. Masquelet. Do You Get V p With a Lame Kidney Trouble Hakes You Miserable. Almost everyone knows of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, be­ ll cause of its remark- 11 able health restoring II properties. Swamp- Root fulfills almost every wish in over­ coming rheumatism, pain in the back, kid­ neys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hotel water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through' the day 7 and to get up many times during the night. Swssnp-Root is not recommended for everything but if you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble, it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been thor­ oughly tested in private practice, and has proved so successful that a special ar­ rangement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not al­ ready tried it, may have a sample bottle sent'free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Ron*, PTUT* to find out if you have kt<l- „ , ney or bladder trouble.
