CROSS CELEBRATES BliflDAY ANNIVERSARY AT HIS CRYSTAL LAKE HOME WEDNESDAY. In response to the announcement made by Rev. W. A. Cross at the M. E. church here on Sunday morning, February 19, that he would gladly welcome any of our people to the an­ niversary of his seventy-third birthday, which would be observed at his home at the Cross cottage in North Crystal Lake on Wednesday, Feb. 22, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Wentworth, Mrs. S. Sher­ burne and Mrs. Flora Colby and son, S. H. Colby, went to Crystal Lake to enjoy the day with the pastor. Mr. Cross did not issue invitations for the occasion, but announced the event in church and asked those pres­ ent to extend the request to absent members of the congregation. He al­ so sent notice to someone in each of the several charges that he has served to extend the request among their people. The day was beautiful and everyone present seemed full of sunshine and to­ gether they had a most delightful day. Those from a distance who responded to the invitation extended were the following: Mesdames R. A. Black man and La- vina Shaw of Chemung, where Mr. Cross was pastor from 1907 to 1009. From his former congregation at Cary, where he presided from 1906 to 1907, Mesdames E. J. King and T. C. Allen; from Poplar Grove pastorate from 1905 to 1906, Mesdames J. H. Hill and Cora Chappell; from Woodstock, where the reverend gentleman presided from 186-3 to 1864, Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Eglcs ton, Miss C. E. Shryver, Mrs. E. E. Fairchild and Mrs. E. A. Sherman; from Richmond, pastorate from 1897 to 1900, Miss F. Haldeman; Mr. and Mrs. J. H. and Miss Laura Collen, Rev. and Mrs. Pate of Crystal Lake; Misses Nellie M. and Grace A. Cross and Jen­ nie Wilson of Rockford. ° Telegram congratulations were re­ ceived from Rev. W. O. Shepherd, dis­ trict superintendent of North Chicago, who was a member of the Rock Falls church when Mr. Cross preached there from 1880 to 1881. Mr. Shepherd was also a member of Mr. Cross' Sunday school and congregation at Arlington from 1873 to 1875; and from Harry L. Fisher, who Mr. Cross received into the churtth on his first charge in the Fairhaven circuit in January, 1860. Numerous letters and cards were re­ ceived from different fields where the pastor has labored, among which was a shower from the members of the Me­ Henry Sunday school, all of which were greatly enjoyed. The dinner for the occasion was pre­ pared and served by Rev. Cross' daugh­ ters and Miss Wilson of Rockford and consisted of the following: Roast beef and mashed potatoes,individual chick­ en pie, bread and butter, coffee, cab­ bage salad, pickles and olives, fruit salad with whipped cream and cakes. The guests presented their present and former pastor with $25.00 and sev eral other valuable gifts. The presen­ tation speech was made by Rev. R. Pate, who is Mrs. Cross' pastor, the address being a most appreciative as well as a highly appropriate one. . Rev. Cross replied with evidence of much tender feeling. The day will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be present at the seventy-third birth day anniversary of'the beloved pastor. TOWN CAUCUS MARCH IS. As will be seen by another notice to be found elsewhere in this issue, the date for the holding of the annual township caucus is Saturday, March 18. This year the caucus, as was pre­ viously mentioned in these columns, will be void of the usual activity, ow­ ing to the fact that only two offices are to be filled, viz., supervisorship and highway commissioner. For the first named office Stephen H. Freund is again a candidate, while John Boyle also wishes to retain his position of highway commissioner. Their an­ nouncements also appears in this issue. Thus far The Plaindealer has learned of no new candidates, altho competition is expected by those who follow poli tics. ' M. E. CHURCH SERVICES. Rev. Wnr. A.

A new pier will be built at lAke Geneva this spring. It will extend 64 feet farther into the lake than the old one. The village of Hebron, which has been "dry" the past two years, will vote at the craning village election on the question of remaining "dry" or jumping back into the "wet" column. Dr. William B. Hart, died at his home in Greenwood Sunday afternoon, Feb. 19. Dr. Hart was probably the oldest and best known citizen of Me­ Henry county, having lived 99 years, 1 month and 15 days. Widows of victims of the famous Cherry mine disaster who would bene­ fit by a pension from the state must not marry. When they take unto themselves husbands again, the act precludes any implied need from the charitable funds. Several farmers in the vicinity of Harvard will grow sugar beets the coming season. The industry was tried last season by a few and an average of nearly $39 an acre was netted, in spite of an unusually dry season, and one farmer near Hart land made a record of $75 per acre. Machinery, seed and hand labor is furnished by the company. The matter of carrying the mail in the southwestern part of Lake county is now being taken up by officers of the Waukegan, Rockford & Elgin Traction Co. and likely within the next several months a contract will be closed where­ by the mail, carried from Barrington to Wauconda by teams for years, will be carried from Palatine to Wauconda and other points via electric. Due to the rapid rise of the water in the rivers surrounding Marengo, many of the farmers have considerable diffi­ culty in getting to town. Three acci­ dents occurred in one day recently to farmers while attempting to cross Coon creek. Charles Sullivan was the most unlucky one. He had his w^gon over­ turned by the swift current and was forced to swim ashore on the back of his horse. The crusade against the comic val­ entine has borne good fruit. The action of the postal department last year in barring more than 100,000 valentines from delivery in Chicago and in hold­ ing responsible, wherever It was pos­ sible to apprehend them, senders of the vulgar obscenities that have at times flooded the mails, caused a de­ crease in the number of so-called com­ ics this year. The A. T. C. & C. Co. of Terra Cot- ta has installed a new fifteen ton elec­ tric generator to supply the current for their factory at that place. The generator is of 300 kilowatts capacity and will complete a^ystem for furnish­ ing lighting and motive power for the whole works. For some time the com­ pany has been generating its own elec­ tricity, but more power was necessary, hence the new generator. Thirty-two members of the graduat­ ing class of East Aurora high school met Friday morning and by unanimous vote decided to eliminate hats from their graduating day costumes and to (•online their dresses to cotton goods, simply made. Action was taken with­ out request from the faculty, altho the Mother's club and the Woman's club of Aurora have been discussing the problem for several weeks. J. L. Dunbar, who for more than two years past has been at the head of the teaching staff of the Richmond public schools, resigned his position on Mon­ day of last week and Tuesday morning departed for Chicago to take up the duties of a mail clerk in the United States postal service. E. F. Booth of Woodstock, assistant county superin­ tendent, will fill the vacancy until an other instructor can be secured. Attorney J. K. Orvis has stated that he had dropped for good his effort to get a franchise into Waukegan for the Waukegan, Rockford & Elgin Traction Co. Disgusted to the limit with the treatment he says he has been accord­ ed, he says that he had decided to waste no more time with Waukegan, that he had spent four months now working hard to land a franchise to build a road west of the city. Not only will they not run on the streets within the city limits, but they will not even run within any reasonable distance of Waukegan whatever. Kenosha is now to have a chance to secure the termi­ nal. The roads operating in the central states have been notified by the post- office authorities that the quadrennial weighing of the mails in this district is to begin this year about Feb. 25, and the roads have been advised to have the scales and men in readiness, altho the date is not yet definite. For 105 days every pouch and package of mail will be weighed under the eyes of the government inspectors and the tonnage thus ascertained will deter­ mine the payments to the roads for the four year period beginning July 1. The country is divided into four dis­ tricts, in each of which a weighing is held every four years. nrm STOCK COMPANY. | MOVING TIME « AGAIN I rwuc SCHOOL NOTES AGAIN PLEASES TWO VERY APPRECIA­ TIVE AUDIENCES AT THE CENTRAL. Under uie able direction of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Smith, the comedy drama entitled !!A Romance of MiSSoSnri," presented by the Empire Stock corny pany of MeHenry at the Central opera house last Saturday and Sunday even­ ings, proved the success that the play­ ers and piece well merited by playing to a well filled and enthusiastic house < at each performance. To miss it meant to miss a rare treat in the way of an evening's entertain­ ment, as those who attended were unanimous in the verdict that it was one of the best.of its kind t*yer staged here by local talent. Aside from their resj>ective parts in the drama, special credit is due to J. W. Smith and C\ D. Ross for the clev­ erness and ingenuity displayed in the scenic and electrical effects, which far surpassed anything ever seen here and which would have done credit to one of the larger productions, the forge scene being especially good. Exceptionally good were the differ­ ent characters interpreted by those taking part, and to those doing the specialty work much credit is due also. Taking everything into considera­ tion, the company was the strongest ever put together by Mr. Smith since coming to MeHenry and the public hopes to see more ol their work in the future. That the MeHenry theatre-going public appreciate home talent shows is clearly evidenced from the manner that the shows are patronized. Me­ Henry people well know that home talent means a good entertainment. We say to the Empire Stock company, let the goo^work go on. MRS. CARL R. MACOON. Mrs. Abbie Terwilliger Mug(w>n, wile of Elder Carl R. Ma goon, pastor of the Seventh Day Advent churches of Elgin and Aurora, died at the Hins­ dale sanitarium Wednesday morning, Feb. 22, 1911, following a serious oper­ ation. Mrs. Magoon was thirty-nine years of age, having been born in Mclijpftry county on Feb. 2, 1872.' She spettfmost of her life in Elgin, where^he was married Jan. 1, 189.», to Mr. Magoon. About three years ago the family moved to Aurora to build up a church just started there. Besides her husband and one daugh­ ter, Effie May, Mrs. Magoon is sur­ vived by her aged father, F. li. Ter­ williger, of Elgin and two sisters, Mrs. James Thompson, also of Elgin and Mrs. Albert Jaeol>s of Ridgefield. The funeral service were held at the home of her sister, Mrs. James Thomp­ son, 209 National street, Elgin, on Fri­ day afternoon of last week at 2 o'clock, Elder Wm. Cobert of Chicago officiat­ ing. Interment in Elgin cemetery. MRS. PETER BOWER. Mrs. Peter Bower, well known Spring Grove resident, died at her home Thursday, Feb. 16. Death was due to a complication of diseases, the most prominent of which was cancen Mrs. Bower has been in poor health for more than a year. Last fall she went to Chicago for an operation and the hospital physicians at that time said her condition was such there was little hope of her recovery. Her health had failed rapidly during the past few months and the weeks prior to bee death were marked by great suffering. Mrs. Bower was thirty-eight years old and leaves a husband, one daughter and two sons. Funeral ser­ vices were held the following Monday morning at St. Peter's Catholic church in Spring Grove and were conducted by Rev. Father Dommermuth. Burial was in the Catholic cemetery. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY PARTY. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Page very pleas­ antly entertained the memlters of the Merry-Go-Round club at the first party of the club's fourth season. The usual game of cinch was enjoyed, after which the twelve were seated at a "round" table deoqrated in keeping with the patriotic occasion and spread with de­ licious refreshments. Leaving the men to the enjoyment of their cigars, the ladies repaired to the parlor and made , arrangements for the annual progfessive course dinner to take place March 17, St. Patrick's day. Every­ one left for his or her home feeling that the memorable date had been properly celebrated. CHARLES WHITNEY NOMINATED. Attorney Charles Whitney, dean of the Lake county bar, was nominated on Saturday for the Republican nomina­ tion for circuit judge in this, the 17th judicial district, to succeed the late Judge Robert W. Wright of Belvidere, Boone county. On account of the fact that Mr. Whitney was the only candi­ date in the field very little interest was displayed in MeHenry, only twen­ ty-eight voters taking the trouble to go to the booths to cast their ballots.

The seniors and juniors take their final examination in American history this week. We are glad to see Florence Knox and Frances Kimball back in school this week. The eleventh and twelfth grades will begin the study of civil govern ment next week. The tenth grade misses its only mas­ culine student, Neill Doherty, who is absent on account of sickness. Anna Knox, Ella Mollohan, John Bolger and Clinton Martin will dis­ cuss current events this week. Louise Engeln, Sarah Dodge, Cor­ nelia Freund, -Mamie Barbian, Mary Stoffel, Dorothy Knox and Howard Smith were visitors here last Wednes­ day. The roads were so bad Saturday- evening that the rooters and "best girls" could not go to Hebron with the basket ball teams, so, of course, both teams lost. A group picture taken of the pupils and teacher of the respective rooms was taken, on Monday by an Elgin pho­ tographer. The smile on some was great to behold. The preliminary eighth grade exam­ ination will be held in room 6 Satur­ day, March 4. All pupils who wish to enter high school next year from the rural districts in the township are expected to take this test. The super­ intendents of the various towns in the county will conduct this examination. The beautiful oil painting of a scene in the Rookies of Colorado, done by Prof. Goodman and presented to the school, is now clothed in a gilt frame which gives it an air of distingue. The MeHenry school can justly be proud of this work of art and owes to the donor a debt of gratitude for this lovely piece of workmanship. LOSE TWO AT HEBRON. Last Saturday evening the MeHenry high school basket ball teams jour­ neyed to Hebron to clash with the high school teams of that place. As these were the last scheduled games of the season both teams were determined to win. Having tied Hebron at the end of the game in MeHenry a few weeks ago and their losing out by only one point, the MeHenry girls had a firm conviction that they could defeat He­ bron on Hebron's own floor. This hope was soon dispelled.lor from the begin­ ning of the game the MeHenry girls never had a show, as is shown by the final score, Hebron, 26; MeHenry, 4. The MeHenry boys also thought they could defeat Hebron, hut made a poor showing in the first half, the score being Hebron, 14; MeHenry, 4. At the start of the last half MeHenry made a change in its line-up. This change seemed to be for the better, for the game was interesting in the last half, the score for this half being Hebron, 11; MeHenry, 10. The final score was Hebron, 25; MeHenry, 14.

Dorr Jacobs, who has been confined to his home thru a severe paralytic stroke received a few weeks ago, was able to be up town last Saturday morn­ ing. While he is far from a well man, his appearance on the streets looks good to his many friends here, who sincerely hope that it will not be long before he will again be able to resume his duties on the oil wagon. TO OPEN JAMES STREET. We are told that there is a move­ ment on foot to have James street on the West Side opened this spring. The property owners in that part of the village are particularly anxious for the village board to take such a step and from present indications it" is more than likely that the WestSiders' wishes will be realized.
