The recent heavy rains have brought up the watfer in the river and lakes considerably. Quite a number of the cottagers along Fox river will take up their summer homes during the next week. Quite a number of new motor boats will be seen on the river and lakes this season. Some pretty speedy ones are among them. Mrs. Fitzpatrick, one of the oldest resorters at Pistakee Bay, has been quite ill of late, but at this writing is reported on the gain. Nearly all of the resorters who own cottages at Pistakee Bay were out last Sunday. Most of these expect t# come out for the summer next week. The season's schedule of the Pistakee Yacht club will be issued the latter part of this week and The Plaindealer expects to publish same in its issue of next week. The hotels at Pistakee Bay, along Fox river and here at McHenry report a good business last Sunday. The crowd was unusually large for so early in the season. Ben Stilling, the genial proprietor of Stilllng's resort, was indisposed the latter part of last as well as the fore part of this week. He is up and around again, we are happy to state. The first motor boat races under the auspices of the Pistakee Yacht club will be pulled off next Sunday morning at 10:00 o'clock. The officers of the club are working harder than ever this year to make the season's schedule of events the biggest success in the his­ tory of the club. The season's first social event at Pis­ takee Bay takes place next Saturday evening, June 24, at which time the Pistakee Yacht club will hold an in­ formal dance at the pavilion. Excel­ lent music has been engaged for the event and one of the special features will be a grand electrical illumination of the club house and grounds. The event promises to bring many out from the city Saturday afternoon and even­ ing. J. W. Thome, a member of the firm of Montgomery, Ward & Co., with a party of Lake Forest friends autoed to McHenry last Sunday afternoon. By appointment they were met at the Mc­ Henry Power Boat club's pier by the passenger boat "Navigator," with Capt. F. A. Beller in charge. The pleasure seekers were first taken to Nell's Columbia park, where lunch was partaken of. With luncheon over the party made things quite lively for a short time thru the playing of games and a general jollification. The trip was then continued up FOK river and around Pistakee bay. They returned to McHenry during the early' evening. CajS. M. Walker, who two years ago had charge of the "Navigator," and who is now an employe of Mont­ gomery, Ward & Co., was among those to make the trip. A most enjoyable afternoon is the report of those who made up the gathering. While driving along the highway near the animal park at Sayer's place near Pistakee Bay one day recently C. E. Carson's automobile and the Mo- Henry bakery wagon came very near having a very serious collision. The bakery wagon was on its way to the Bay when Mr. Carson, who with his family was out autoing, appeared on the scene. A bad turn in the road' at this point made it impossible for either of the drivers to see on^ another until too late to turn out and to make mat­ ters still worse the brake on Mr. Car­ son's machine refused to do its duty, the result being that the machine ran into the wagon with considerable force, but luckily, however, no one was hurt. The only damage done was a broken shaft and wheel on the bakery wagon. Mr. Carson felt very bad over the mis­ hap and just to show that his heart was in the right place he made the' delivery of bakery in his automobile and also very willingly squared himself for the damage done. Mr. Carson and his estimable family have been spend­ ing the summer months at Pistakee for a number of years, where they have a summer home. NUMBER 1. mm DEATHS IKWfD C. A.

Wm. Stoffel. DAVID PARKER, A FORMER RESIDENT, PASSES AWAY AT HIS LATE HOME AT LIBERTYVILLE. Jamoa Deharty. James Doherty, the youngest as well as the last of a family of nine boys, passed away at his late home on North Green street in this village at eleven o'clock on Saturday evening, June 10, after a three weeks' illness, the direct ^ cause of his death being given as pneu- j raonia, which set in a short time be- | fore his demise. The subject was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, in the year of 1838, the exact date of his birth being unknown. Thus, as near as can be ascertained, he was eighty-five years of age at the time that his Master's voice called him to his reward. James Doherty received his educa­ tion and grew to manhood in his native land and at the age of twenty-five years came to America. He landed on Canadian soil on July 4, 1851, and from there came south to McHenry. The first few years of his life in the land of freedom were passed as a farm hand on various farms in the immediate vicinity of this village. On May 5. 1855, he was united in marriage to Miss Johanna McDonald, who was also a passenger on the same boat that brought Mr. Doherty to this country. Shortly after his marriage he purchased the farm located south­ west of McHenry, later owned by John Flusky and now in the possession of a Mr. Johnson. He next purchased and moved to the old homestead located four miles south­ west of this village, then known as the Holcomb farm and now occupied and owned by his son, James Doherty. He continued to make this his home up utitil about eight years ago. when he purchased the home where he passed away of E. W. Howe. lie resided on the old homestead a period of forty-two years and it was with a feeling of sat­ isfaction that he laid aside his labors to enter the world of rest eight years ago. A finer record than he made for himself, both in private and public life, has never been recorded in this section. The deceased's wife passed to the shores of immortal bliss four years ago, her death occurring on February 19, 1907. Seven children wepe born to the union, two of whom are dead. The living children are as follows: William, James, Peter, Bridget and Mary, all of whom reside either in the village or upon farms in the immediate vicinity of Mchenry Besides the children, he leaves eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and a host of rela­ tives and friends, who ropurn in the loss of so valuable a man. Mr. Doherty during his career has acted as school trustee in the country district in which he lived and has proven himself one of the most active workers that St. Patrick's church of this place ever had or ever will have. For many years he acted in the capac­ ity of church director and the fulfil­ ment of his duties to the letter is (Minted to with pride by everyone. He was here when the present St. Pat­ rick's church was built and his influ­ ence, laboi-s and financial assistance helped materially in its construction. As a husband and father he set an example that will long remain in the memories of those noarest and dearest to him. The funeral services were held from St. Patrick's Catholic church here on Tuesday morning of last week. Solemn high mass was celebrated with Rev. Dr. O'Neill of Highland Park, 111., as celebrant and Iiev. Adrian of Norwood Park and Rev. D. Lehane as assist­ ants. Rev. D. Lehane preached the sermon and a lilting one it was. Inter­ ment took place in St Patrick's ceme­ tery besides the remains of his^j ife. / DtfM Parker Dead. David Parker, who for a number of years made his home in this village, and who disposed of his belongings here in 1901 to take up his abode at Libertyville, 111., passed away at that place on June 9. David Parker was born at Eden Cen­ ter, Erie county, N. Y., October 14, 1820, and died at Libertyville June 9, 1911. In 1845 he came with his people to Illinois, settling on a farm three miles from Richmond in McHenry county. Later he and his brother, Levi, pur­ chased a farm in Fremont, Lake coun­ ty, afterward trading with their father for the farm near ^Richmond. At the beginning of the Civil war he enlisted from Richmond in Co. G, 8th III. cavalry, and served three years and nine months in the army of the Poto­ mac, being discharged from service July 17, 1805, at Benton Barracks, Mo. He was married February 21, 187<», to Miss Atlanta Gould and to them one child was born, Ella, who is left alone to mourn, Mrs. Parker having depart­ ed this life on July 3, 1904. They lived on a farm in Fremont township until 1782, when they moved to this village, where they resided un­ til the year 1901, at which time they moved to Libertyville where they have since made their home- Besides a daughter, he leaves t mourn his death one sister, Mrs. Johu Robertson, of* Harrington and one brother, Augustus Parker. The funeral was held Sunday after­ noon, June 11, at the residence, Rev. W. L. Whipple officiating, interment being at Ivanhoe. Claranca A. Knight. Clarence A. Knight, president of the Chicago and Oak Park Elevated rail­ road, died at St. Luke's hospital, Chi­ cago, Wednesday morning following an operation for appendicitis. The news of his death brought sorrow to the hearts of many McHenry people, to whom he was well and favorably known. Mr. Knight was bora in Mc­ Henry October 23, 1853. The funeral will take place from his late home in Chicago tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 3 o'clock. Obituary next week. Mra. MoiMan Dead. Mrs. Madden, mother of Miss Char­ lotte Madden of this place and Mrs. James Green of Itingwood, passed away at her home in this village on Sunday afternoon of this week. The funeral took place from St. Patrick's Catholic church on Tuesday morning of this week Obituary next week. DAN COMMITTEE HARD AT WORK NEARLY $3,000 HAS ALREADY BEEN SUB­ SCRIBED FOR NEW. The second meeting in the interest of the Fox river dam was held at the Riverside hotel last Saturday evening. While the Fox Lake and Pistakee Bay delegations were not present, the meeting was well attended and from the manner and spirit in which the McHenryites are^ doing and accom­ plishing things it begins to look as if Fox river will see one of the finest dams in this section of the country beK fore another summer rolls around. The meeting last Saturday evening was held for the purpose of receiving a report from the soliciting and can­ vassing committee. Rev. D. Lehane, who was booked to act as chairman of the previous meeting, but who on ac­ count of unforeseen circumstances could not be present, occupied the chair last Saturday evening. He encouraged the work and ex­ plained, in a manner that brought forth applause and cheers, the benefits that are derived from this beautiful stream of ours. He extended words of praise for those who have pulled off their coats and gone to work on ibid most important undertaking and de­ nounced the so-called "knockers." He also pointed out the fact that Mc­ Henry as a village has been almost en­ tirely void of public spirit and if there is such a thing as this in the people of the village now is the time to bring it out. The report of the commitee evi­ denced that McHenry's business men and citizens are far from dead. The following are the names of the donat- ors and the amount each one sub­ scribed for the building of a new and permanent dam at a site at or near the one now in service in |Fox river. The list was handed in for publication Wednesday noon. Dr. C. H. Fegers. $ 50.00 Dr. N. J. Nye 50.00 C. G. Frett 50.00 Block & Bethke. 50.00 J acob J us ten 50.00 O.N. Owen 50.00 J. Jl.

MISSES EDNA HUNTER AND NELLIE NEW MAN AND MESSRS. CHAS. HEIMER AND LEWIS McDONALD ARE HAPPY ONES. Halmcr-Huatar. The month of June has long been known as the month of weddings. Mc­ Henry and this vicinity has surely had more than its share this year, and one that is of more than passing interest to McHenry and Elgin people was that performed at the home of Mrs. Jose­ phine Heimer of this village on Wed­ nesday afternoon of this week at three o'clock, the principals concerned in this happy event being Miss Edna Jean Hunter of Elgin and Charles J. Heimer of this place. The ceremony was per­ formed by Rev. A. Royer, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church of this place. At the appointed hour the bridal party marched into the beautifully decorated parlor to the strains of Loh­ engrin's wedding march, very capably rendered by Miss Lillian Heimer, cousin of the groom. The bride and groom stood beneath a bower of sweet peas near the east bay window of the home when the solemn words were spoken that made the two man and wife. The ring ceremony was used. Seldom ha^ a fairer bride plighted her troth to the man of her choice. She wore a traveling suit of tailored chiffon broadcloth of a light apricot shade and a large Milan hat. Miss Kathryn Heimer, cousin of the groom, attended her and wore a light gray suit. The groom was attended by John R. Hunter of Elgin, brother of the baide. Besides the immediate families of the pair, Mrs. John Schuenemann of Chicago and Miss Kathryn Weber of this place were the only ones who wit­ nessed the ceremony. The house was most i>eautifully dec­ orated for the occasion, a color scheme of pink and white being carried out. This with peonies and sweet peas made the scene a highly pleasing one to the eye. Immediately after the ceremony all sat down to a wedding dinner which was served in the dining room of the Heimer home. The flora) decorations as well as the oolor scheme were also carried out here. After dinner a short reception was tendered the couple. An auto took them to Crysurf Lake, where they boarded a train for Chicago, which city they left this (Thursday) morn­ ing for a short wedding trip thru Wis­ consin and Minnesota. The bride is the only daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Hunter of 390 Congdon avenue, Elgin. While she has passed the last three years in Elgin, she is also well and favorably known to a large circle of admiring friends in and around McHenry, as her home was here for many years. She was, up un­ til about two months ago, employed in the correspondence room of the David C. Cook Publishing Co. at Elgin. She is a member of the Five Hundred and Gabfesters' clubs of Elgin. Among her hundreds of friends she has slw*v« been a social favorite. The groom is the only son of Mrs. Josephine Heimer of this village and has always been recognized as one of the village's best young men. He has been a resident of this village ever since seven years of age and is known and highly respected by most of The Plaindealer readers. After leaving school he took up the railway mail work and during the past seven years he has been employed in this capacity, his present run being over the C. M. & St. P. railway between Chicago and Min- neajtolis. He has been a most faithful employe to Uncle Sam during the years that he has been in service, bis record being one that any of us could feel proud of. Mr. Heimer was a member of several young men's clubs in Mc­ Henry in past years and for the past few years has been a member of the McHenry Pleasure club, where his presence will be greatly missed during the coming winter. The groom has recently purchased a two-story flat building at 4210 N. Her­ mitage Ave., Ravenswood. He has al­ ready furnished the lower flat of the building, which the couple will occupy after September 1 of this year. They will spend most of the intervening time at the home of the groom's moth­ er here. The Plaindealer voices the popular wish in hoping for them a future which shall ever remain happy and bright. McPtaiM-Ntwaa. A simple jt^ut very impressive wed­ ding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Newman at 4:30 o'clock last Thursday afternoon, when their oldest daughter, Nellie, was united in marriage to Mr. Lewis McDonald of North Crystal Lake, the Rev. A. C. McHenry of Chicago officiating. The couple was unattended and the ceremony was void of the many extras that often take such a prominent part on occasions of this kind. The house was decorated in green and white. White roses were also quite prominent­ ly displayed. After the knot had been securely tied those present gathered in the din­ ing room where a sumptuous dinner was partaken of. A reception followed. The couple left that evening for Chicago, where a few days were passed among relatives. They returned to Woodstock the first of the week where a finely furnished flat at 118 South Jefferson street was awaiting their arrival and where they have since gone to housekeeping. The bride carried her part perfectly and looked quite charming, gowned as she was in a beautiful dress of white embroidery. On the wedding trip she wore a going-away gown of blue silk, with long tan coat and hat to match. The bride has passed her entire life in McHenry, where she was born and grew to womanhood. She attended the McHenry public school and grad­ uated from that institution with the class of *07. After her graduation she acted as assistant in the primary grades of that school for one season, and the last two years have been spent in the teaching of the Terra Cotta school, which school has the credit of beiug one of the best country schools in the county. She was a member of several clubs in McHenry and in social circles has always taken an active part. The groom is a son of S. McDonald of North Crystal Lake. He is em­ ployed in the Oliver Typewriter fac­ tory at Woodstock, where he holds a good position. Mr. McDonald is a young man of excellent habits and one whom any town or city should be proud to own. The many wishes of their friends accompany them to their home in the Typewriter city. WM. F. RILEY WINS TROPHY. A series of comical events trans­ pired at the Chicago Gun club grounds on June 17, when W. F. Riley won the handicap trophy and a substantial money prize with a score of 93 out of a possible 100, C. Emory of Chicago tak­ ing second place with 92. At dinner the to-beK:hampion jokingly said that if he won, instead of filling the cups as is customary, he would kiss every fe­ male on the grounds regardless of age or color. Well, he is the boy that can and did make good. A few that ran escaped, and the barn door was locked on Daisy, the calf. Mr. Emory told our reporter that Mr. Riley stood a good chance to win in the last event if his luck kept up and a peculiar coin­ cidence of this expression occurred at midnight, when the inevitable reporter interviewed the tired victor. When asked what he could attribute his luck to Mr. Riley said: "To a borrowed safety-pin in my suspender." The re­ porter would not print what sounded to him like a josh, but was neverthe­ less a solemn fact. OUR COLLEGE YELL. Anybody here seen Riley? The "king" of a shooting band. Anybody here seen RileyY We want to shake his hand, For he won with a score of 93-- Beat his opponent, Emory-- Anybody here seen Riley? The "champ" of the C. G. C. RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES. Henry Meyers, driver for the Mc­ Henry Brewing Co., met with a very serious accident while at Ingleside on Monday evening of this week. Mr. Meyers was about to leave for McHen­ ry after making a delivery at Ingle­ side and while in the act of getting on­ to the wagon the horses started up suddenly and before the driver could check them they had started on a run, throwing Mr. Meyers underneath the wagon, with the result that one of the wheels passed over him. He was picked up by eye witnesses to the acci­ dent and carried into the Jackson hotel at Ingleside, where Dr. Wells of this place, who was summoned, discovered a very serious fracture of the left arm a few inches below the shoulder, an ugly scalp wound requiring about a dozen stitches and injuries to the spine, as well as internal injuries. Mr. Met­ ers was removed to his home in this village Tuesday, after passing Monday night at the Jackson hotel, and his in­ juries are giving him much pain. He will be laid up the greater part of the summer. FOURTH OF JULY BALL. A Fourth of July ball will take place at Stoffel's hall. West McHenry, on Saturday evening, July 1. The man­ agement of this ball has secured the services of Walsh's Chicago orchestra for this occasion and this fact alone ought to bring out a big crowd, as this musical organization made a big hit with the McHenry dancers on its two previous appearances here. Dance tickets, 75 cents. All are invited. BASEBALL DANCE. The newly organized baseball team will give a dance at Stoffel's hall next Saturday evening, June 24, for the team's benefit. Sherman's four-piece orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion and a fine time is prom­ ised those who turn out. It is hoped that at least two hundred couples will be present, as the boys surely need the money to go on with their baseball team. Tickets, 75 cents. POWER BOAT CLUB MEETING. Don't forget the Power Boat club meeting at the Riverside House on Saturday evening of this week, June 24. Every member is urgently request­ ed to be present. FOR GOODMES8' SAKE drink Riverside coffee, dry roasted. t J. W. Fay's, McHenry, Ql. Don't forget thet moving pictures at the Central Saturday and Sunday even­ ings. The best of pictures and any seat in the house 10 cents. The explosion of firecrackers about the village indicates that the Fourth is near at hand. There will be no re­ lief now until after the Fourth. Paul S. Rabin, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this issue, has opened a penny photo gallery in Eagle hall here and reports a fine business. A report circulated about town the first of the week to the effect that a Ringwoodite had committed suicide by cutting his throat is without founda­ tion. Heard on the streets: "I'm a kicker by nature, but whenever I go to Nell's Columbia park I have no kick coming, ghat's the reason you will find me there July 4, 1911." An unusually large number of tramps have been seen about town of late. There is scarcely a day but Vhat one or more of these "undesirables" are seen on our streets. The Universalist church will be closed for the summer vacation during all of July and a part of August. The date of the resumption of services will be announced later. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Schreiner are this week moving their household effects from their late Maple avenue place of residence to their beautiful new Main street residence. H. N. Dowe has given up his position at the Gus Schoel buffet to accept, a like position at the McHenry House bar room. He took up his new duties Monday morning of this week. The motiograph is the latest thing in moving pictures, giving a clear, brigfrt production. At the Central Saturday and Sunday evenings. All seats 10 cents. Show starts at 8:15. With Phil Weber in the box the Richmond team on Sunday afternoon last shut out the Crystal Lake aggre­ gation of ball tossers to the tune of 6 to 0. The game was played on the Richmond diamond. The trees along the sidewalks in Mc­ Henry are sadly in need of trimming. In some places the branches hang so low that pedestrians are forced to get off the walk. This condition of affairs should (>e remedied at once. Rev. A. Royer, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic church here, will celebrate his silver jubilee on Tuesday of next week. The pastor has sent invitations to fifty clergymen, and the event prom­ ises to be one of great importance. Despite the fact that farmers are selling their hogs at 4 cents less per pound than they did a year ago no noticeable change in the price of ba­ con, chops, ham or othpr parte of the porker has been made. The standstill in the pork price is true of the other standard varieties of meats. ITERS or LOCAL INTEREST as ncra nr by puiidcaux k- Fiwras DURING WEEK.
