The two teams could not have been more evenly matched and it was no one's game until the last man was retired at the 6uu of tut' nintn round, h..

THEY WANT SUNN IN V Great Throngs Flock to Riverview Exposition Every Day. The popularity of summer amusement park enterprises in large cities, and the growth of this form of outdoor diver- sion, is perhaps more strikingly empha­ sized by the success 01 Chicago's River- view Exposition this season than in any other way. This big park hd5 already had two Sundays and one holiday (Dec­ oration Day) on which the crowds for each day numbered 200.000. which means that nearly one-tenth the population of Chicago was out for amusement on these days For some unexplained reason the MOftlTOftt AJPiD rairiftfiMAV - public is more keen for summer amuse­ ments than ever before. Anticipating the conditions, the management of Riv- ertiew, considered the largest outdoor amusement enterprise in the world, has built up to the cravings of the crowds. Riverview is the only park in the world that had the courage to put half a mil­ lion dollars in two spectacles such as the "Monitor and Merrimac" and "Creation," each of which leave impressions of glory and splendor with the visitor never to be forgotten. The "Monitor and Merrimac" as a most realistic production of the fa­ tuous battle in Hampton Roads which revolutionized naval warfare. "Crea­ tion," with beautiful electrical and scenic effects and living tableaux, illustrates the birth of the universe. spectacles is described by interesting and impressive lectures. Another peculiar feature about the amusement park idea this summer is the demand for exciting rides of the "thriller" type. Riverview has more of these than any other park in the world, and they are crowded with riders aU the time. Aside from all these expensive shows and rides, Riverview has one asset that other parks in Chicago would pay thousands of dollars for-- great acres and acres of shady trees and green grass. Riverview also employs fiSW but the best bands, which give con- -^rts every afternoon and evening CLASSIFIED DEPARMM All Mvt-rttn«ment« Inserted under lb 1M bead at the ^ (•1 lowing rate*'.

BREAK FROM COUNTY JAIL THREE INMATES ESCAPE FROM WOOD­ STOCK JAIL BUT ARE RE-CAPTURED. 682 290 241 S2 63 1317 .164 460 151 113 Prof. A. E. Nye has just completed the annual task of taking up the school census in this, the fifteenth school dis­ trict, and from the report one can see at a glance that a large number of the children are not receiving the school­ ing that they should. We herewith give the figures as they were handed to us for publication: Male Female Total No. of persons all ages 635 No. of persons under 21 yrs.274 No. of persons under 16 yrs.219 No. of persons under tl yrs_. 69 No. of persons attending other than public school.. 50 No. of persons between the ages of Yt and 21 unable to read or write. 0 No. of persons Itetweon the ages of H and 14 not In school three months of the year 1 Thus it may be seen that there are 413 child^pn of school age in the dis­ trict. Of this number 220 are enrolled in the McHenry public school, while 113 attend St. Mary's parochial school, making a total of 333. This leaves eighty children of school age who are not in school. We do not understand this condition of affairs and urge all parents who have children of school age to send them with the reopening of school in September. ADDITIONAL PERSONALS.

Opera : House Crystal Lake Herald: Taking ad­ vantage of the kindness of Sheriff Hen­ derson, three prisoners confined in the county jail at Woodstock, who had been allowed the privilege of resting in the corridor on account of the ex­ treme heat, broke jail Tuesday even­ ing, but were captured a few minutes later. The prisoners who broke jail were John Hartman, arrested in Elgin by Sergeant Robinson and Officer Rogers on information that he was wanted in McHenry county for stealing a horse; Lee Halley, arrested for burglary, and Ernest Dahlbaum, arrested for larceny. During the past few days the ex­ treme heat made life in the jail any­ thing but comfortable. On the prom­ ise that they would be good, Sheriff Henderson had allowed the prisoners the use of the corridor, in order that they might get better air. Tuesday the sheriff was in Elgin. About 6:15 o'clock in the evening his daughter, Alice, went into the basement to get some food for supper. While there she saw the prisoners making their escape. She rushed to the upper floor, where she met her father, who had just returned from Elgin. The news was quickly imparted to him. Sheriff Henderson acted promptly. In fact, the jail delivery was discov­ ered and reported so quickly that the sheriff intercepted Hartman as he was getting out of the window. Sheriff Henderson locked Hartman in a cell and started in pursuit of the other two prisoners. In the meantime Deputy Sheriff Andruss had secured an auto­ mobile and with others started in pur­ suit of Dahlbaum and Halley. They overtook them on the Harvard road, just as the Seeing prisoners were crawling thru u fence Icouiug to a field. The police officers were joined by Joe Wurtsenger, armed with a rifle. After the prisoners had been placed in the auto and the return trip tojjail entered upon, the prisoners made re­ peated excuses for desiring to examine Wurtsenger's rifle. Officer Sullivan, who occupied the rear seat of the auto, having one prisoner on each side of him, leaned over to warn Wurtsenger to be on the alert, when the prisoners made a grab for the officer's hip poe t et. His revolver was not the however, the officer having placed n in front where he could reach it m< readily if he needed to. The prisoners removed a space the floor of the corridor. A floor ri a ister had at one time been in the c^ ridor at this point. After its remo the place hid been filled with c»; k flooring. It was this flooring, about 2 by 2\ feet, that they removed. Two other prisoners in the jail wi offered an opportunity to escape wi ch the trio. They refused. They would not take advantage of the kindness; <>1 Sheriff Henderson and will undoubted­ ly be rewarded for their faithfulness. McHenry county citizenacommewk-d Sheriff Henderson and his daughter on their promptness and also praise Offi­ cers Andrus and Sullivan for their courage and thoughtfulness.
