DAP! MEETING P&STf®!® Wfc* BE HELD AT BimSDE HOUSE SATURDAY EVEfONfi. JUNE 11. Unforeseen circumstances made it necessary to change the date for the Fox river dam 'meeting from Saturday evening, June 3, to (me week later, Saturday evening, June 10. After giving the matter a more ser­ ious thought the committee' decided to make the change, which they believe will be for the better and will mean a higger turnout than was first expect­ ed. The meeting will take place at the Riverside House and it is sincerely hoped that every business enterprise in McHenry will be represented on this night. The people of Ptac Lake and- Pista- kee have come right out flat-footed and given the river and McHenry people to understand that they are thru waiting for us and unless we get busy and give these people more water they'll take it upon their own should­ ers and place a dam across Fox river at a point somewhere north of Mc­ Henry. The aspect thus becomes of a most serious nature and we are sure that our business men and river property owners will not stand idly i>y and see our pleasant relations with the north­ ern chain of lakes cut off by a dam when an individual taxation of only a few dollars will give us a first-class permanent dam at a point where the present structure now stands and Will at the same time give our northern friends all the water desired. Arrangements have been made whereby a delegation of Fox Lake res­ idents as well as a committee from Pis- takee Bay will be ^rith us on the even­ ing before mentioned and if at this time we can show our neighbors that our hearts are in the right place and that we are willing to carry the bulk of expense in the building of a new dam they will not turn us down and more likely will, extend a helping hand. We must, however, show these people that we are not bluffing and that we mean business af»d for this reason The Plaindealer urges every business man and river property owner to be at this, the most important meeting ever held in McHenry. We have previously explained Chat without the beautiful Fox river Mc­ Henry would be a dead issue. The stream is surely worth more to U6 than several factories, so there isn't a reason in the world why we should not keep the water at a point where it will invite more people into our midst instead of taking them away. One thing is sure and that is this: No river, no people; no people, no village. Again we will say, attend the meet­ ing at the Riverside House on Satur­ day evening, June 10, and save the village of McHenry from going back­ wards. DANCE AT STOFPEL'8 HALL. Another one of those very enjoyable dancing parties will take place at Stof- fel's hall next Saturday evening, June 3. With the approach of warm weath­ er the hearts of the young people naturally long for company and a bet­ ter place than Stoffel's hall for a good time could not possibly be selected. The management of this dance is doing its level best to devise ways and means whereby the danceis who turn out next Saturday evening will be shown an unusually pleasant tirafe. Tuttle's five-piece orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion and those who have heard this musical organization pronounce it first-class in every respect. Dance tickets, 75 cents. A cordial in­ vitation is extended to all. HOT OUT or RACE. An erroneous report has been circu­ lated about town of late that I am out of the race for the McHenry post mas­ tership and for the bepefit of those who have been so informed I wish to state that my petition was among the first to be forwarded to the proper authorities at Washington, D, C., and that I will, continue to be in the run­ ning until such time as the appoint­ ment has been made, Thanking my friends for the support that they have tendered me in this respect and assur­ ing each and every one who has signed my petition that the kindness thus shown has been fully appreciated, I i, Respectfully yours, W. G. SCHREINER. IS ATTENDING BIRTHDAY PARTY. Mrs. M. A. Howell is in Chicago to­ day where she, with about fifty .other guests, is assisting Mrs. Fred Wilks celebrate her birthday. Mrs. Wilks spends her summers at Pistakee Bay, where the family has a beautiful sum­ mer home. The event will be doubly interesting to Mrs. Howell, as the day is also her birthday anniversary. MISS CAREY HONORED. Miss Lucie Carey, who is to be a June bride, was tendered a surprise at her home by a company of girl friends last Friday evening. Miss Carey was presented with a beautiful cut glass bowl. Before the evening's pleasures came to an end the happy gathering was treated to ice cream, cake and lemonade. A fine time was had by all.

The wealth produced on farms of the United States was $8,928,000,000 during 1910, as estimated by the department of agriculture. L. C. Price, deputy treasurer of Lake county, was found not guilty of charges of embezzlement which were made following the disappearance of County Treasurer Ames and the dis­ covery of a shortage of $27,000 in the county funds. A Chicago paper states that a plan is being seriously Considered by the members of the Wisconsin legislature, which will oblige all students desiring building. The offer has been accept­ ed by the city council. How often do we hear people say: "Wihere in the world do all the flies come from?" It is simple enough. The toper makes the blue bottle fly, the stern father makes the gad fly, the cyclone makes the house fly, the black­ smith makes the fire fly, the driver makes the horse fly, the race makes the sand fly, wad the boarder makes the butter fly. Two trainmen were killed and a third was fatally injured when two freight trains on the Soo line met head on early Monday morning of last week at a place known as Doolittle crossing near Grayslake. Four other members of the train crews escaped death by jumping before the trains met. Both engines were demolished and seven freight ears were piled in splinters as a result of the collision.

Andrew Carnegie has offered to the city of Belvidere the sum of $17,500 for the construction of a free public library, providing that the said city will provide a site and guarantee an annual appropriation of $1,150 a year for the maintenance of the library and restaurant or just plain drink shops, are obliged to close at 11 o'clock five days of the week and at 7 o'clock on Saturday evenings. Of course, they remain closed all day Sunday. The idea of early closing Saturdays is to prevent the wage earners spending their stipend and thus deprive their families of the needed money. Mrs. Scott Durand, the Lake Forest society woman farmer and owner of the famous "Crab Tree" dairy farm at Lake Bluff, has just returned from Europe, where she visited all the im­ portant dairy centers. She purchased forty-two of the finest cattle on the Island of Guernsey, among them being a son of "General Chene," the finest animal of his kind ever reared on the island. The "Crab Tree" farm is said to be the finest dairy farm in America. Don't fail to see Princes So-Uru So-Sli, also the Emperor What-for- Whi, next Saturday evening, June 3. WAS BORN IN GREENE COUNTY, N. Y., ON MARCN S, 1832, AND DIED AT ATHENS, N. Y.. MAY 21, 1811. Isaac Wentworth, mention of whose death was made in these columns last week, was born in Greene county, N. Y., on March 3, 1832. He was the; son of John and Cath­ erine Wentworth, natives of New York and of English descent. He received a good education, attending public and private schools during the winter months and working on al brick yard in the summer until he was eighteen years of age. After leaving school he devoted his entire time to the brick manufactur­ ing business. In 1857, after having ac­ quired a thoro knowledge of the busi­ ness, he came west to Illinois and en­ gaged in the business in Chicago. In 1871 he came to this village and start­ ed a brick yard here. His venture proved a most successful one and dur­ ing the brick manufacturing season he kept a large gang of men at work. The McHensy brick not only became famous the county over, but were shipped and sold to quite a number of the larger cities of this and other states. • He continued the business here un­ til about the nineties, when thru lack of the proper clay he was forced to close up the yard here. From 1905 to 1908 he was superintendent of the D. H. Haeger estate yards at Gilberts, 111. Thru his thoto acquaintance with the business he made a first-class man for his employers, who were sorry to lose him when his age forced him into retirement. The deceased was united in marriage in New York state to Miss Lucy Jane, daughter of YVia. C. Stewart of New York, the date of marriage being November 17, 1854. Five children blessed this union, all of whom are living, as follows: John of Bessemer, Ala., Jacob of Belvidere, 111., W. D. of this place, Mrs. C. K. Lamphere of Car- pentersville and Mrs. Hettie Fuller of Wauconda. Mrs. Wentworth passed away in 1901. The subject of this sketch left McHenry in 1909 for Athens, New York, where he married Mrs. Jennie Moore, who survives him. He hascon- tinued to make Athens his home from the time he left McHenry until his death. Mr. Wentworth during his residence in McHenry proved himself a most valuable citizen. In public life he served the people of this village in the capacity of president of the village board, village trustee, school director and street commissioner. Each and every oSice that he has ever held he has filled with the utmost care and satisfaction to all concerned. He has always stood for honesty and progress and never did he let an oppor­ tunity slip by where he could do some­ thing for the good of the greatest number. For instance, he was instru­ mental in the building of the McHenry public school buiiuiug anu also saved the village thousands of dollars in dif­ ferent ways during his reign in public office. He was also a member of the village board when the present water works were put in. While he was ever .ready to use his influence and offer his services for any worthy, improvement, he did not be­ lieve in the unnecessary squandering of money and when an important ques­ tion like the building of the school or water works came up he used very good judgment, as everyone who knew him is willing to testify. In home circles he was a man of ut­ most devotion to his wife and family. He always took a great deal of pride in his home and surroundings and many have been the moments, yes, hours, that neighbors, friends and relatives have passed in the Wentworth home, now occupied by his son, W. D. Went­ worth, on Waukegan street. The funeral services were held from the M. E. church here last Wednesday morning, the remains having arrived here from his late home in New York the previous evening. The last sad rites were performed by Rev. W. L. Whipple of Libertyville, who was one of Mr. Wentwortli's last paslcns while a resident in McHenry. The funeral wa^ largely attended and the remains were laid to nest beside tnose of his deceased wife in Woodland cemetery. MY RELIGION.

W- Fay's, McHenry, Hi. 49-81 JOIiSWJRGH PUN DIES SUDDENLY TAKEN ILL WHILE ATTENDING BALL GAHE AT CRYSTAL LAKE A most unexpected death occurred at North Crystal Lake last Sunday afternoon, when John M. Miller, one of the most prominent and best known residents of Johnsburgh, passed away. The deceased is the father of Joe Miller, who during the past two sea­ sons has won considerable fame as a baseball pitcher. He had accompanied his son and several other members of the family to North Crystal Lake last evening" Sunday afternoon to witness a UfcsHSSfT game between the Crystal Lake and Richmond nines, his son pitching the game for the latter named team. Mr. Miller was a most interested spectator at the game. At about the eighth or ninth inning of the game the Johnsburgh man was overcome with a most severe sinking spell. At the time he was thus overcome he was sitting in the shade of a tree just-off the first base line. One of his daugh­ ters, his daughter-in-law and his sons rushed to his assistance, as did also Drs. Strang of Richmond, Hull of North Crystal Lake and Wells of this village, Alt iii ire hi the uuctors being on Hie grounds at the time. The stricken man's condition was not considered tfery serious and after Dr. Hull had administered some restor­ atives his condition seemed to improve and when the game was called at the close of the eleventh inning on account of rain it was thought that it would be safe to bring him home. This happy thought soon vanished, however, as a second shock came on and the man passed away a few minutes after he had been removed from the ball field to the office of Dr. Hull at North Crys­ tal Lake. 1 The sad news was telephoned to Mc­ Henry and Johnsburgh. Undertaker Jacob Justen left McHenry at once aid brought the body from Dr. Hull's office to the deceased's late home at Johnsburgh. The sad news of Mr. Miller's sudden death was received by his many rela­ tives and friends with the utmost sur­ prise and grief and by the time the body reached the Miller home the en­ tire community had learned of the un- expected death. The deceased was bom at Johns­ burgh on the 28th day of January, 1853, and ever since his birth has made that place his home. Here he was raised, attended school and church and grew to manhood. Thirty-four years ago, in the Cath­ olic church at Johnsburgh, or rather in the edifice that was destroyed by (ire some years ago, he was united in marriage to Miss Christina Freund. Nine children were born to the union. Of these eight are living, their names and places of residence being as follows: Jacob and Mrs. Mary Schmitt of Zenda, Wis.; John and Lena, Dena ITERS of LOCAL mam AS ffCKCD If SY fllWHiLEK RE­ PORTERS DURiHli WEEK.

He was always considered one of Johnsburgh's most prominent citizens, both in public and private life. He was one of the directors of the Johns­ burgh church and has always been a faithful church worker.
