L Worts In last week's issue there appeared two items in the columns of The Plain- dealer that did not come from the edi­ tor and should have been signed by the contributors. The first that we refer to is the one that appeared on the editorial page and was headed "To Property Owners." The article was considered a most shameful one by many of our readers and a demand has been made upon the writer for the author of same. ' We have previously stated that we would not publish any unsigned com­ munications and contrary to our own ruling we last week published these articles without the authors' or con­ tributors' names. We take it for granted that the arti­ cles, especially the one ju$t mentioned, was based upon facts and therefore we will say that Simon Stoffel handed same to us. The other article, headed "What Good Is Sunday Saloon?" was handed The Plaindealer for publication by Geo. W. Colby. Now that we have revealed the names of the contributors we sincerely hope that the interested ones are satis­ fied. In the future The Plaindealer will insist on all communications being signed with pen and ink and not lead pencil. The communications will then be filed so that they may be referred to at any time. Not only all communications, but all advertising matter as well, will in the future be so marked that the public1 can readily understand that it does not come from the publisher. For instance, if a paid article is inserted in The Plaindealer this week it will contain the number of the issue and the num­ ber of times the article is to appear. A paid article appearing in this week's issue, if such is to be published but once will be marked in this manner, 5Mt, meaning that the article appears in the ninth issue of the paper during the official year of publication. The It signifies that the article is to appear but once. In case the article is to be published indefinitely the marking on same would be 9-tf, meaning that arti­ cle makes its first appearance in the ninth issue of The Plaindealer year and will continue to be published until forbidden by the advertiser. Now that we have explained matters the public will know at a glance when reading The Plaindealer whether or not the contents of same. come from the publisher or elsewhere. We are willing to hold ourselves re­ sponsible for anything said in these columns outside of signed or marked articles, but do not like to be blamed for things that should be shouldered by others. Once more we wish to ask our read­ ers to see that all communications sent to this office are signed with pen and ink. In this way the life of the editor will not be threatened so often and the chances are one hundred to one that the responsibility will go where it rightfully belongs.

The Will-Not Show Picture com­ pany, which has been reaping a har­ vest among the resorters along the river of late, moved to Volo last Satur­ day evening, where the proprietor dis­ posed of the outfit at a good profit.

Gossip at the time that the reappor­ tionment matter was before congress last winter said it was probable tual McHenry county would be taken from the district and tacked on the Lake district. Another rumor had it that Will would be subtracted from the eleventh and added to one of the down state districts. Both of these are only surmises, however, and just what will be done will not be known until the legislature convenes in October. The bill gives Illinois two additional congressmen. A provision introduced by Senator Burton and adopted by the senate, Washington dispatches say, will prevent gerrymandering. It is to the effect that the redistricting be accomplished in the manner pre­ scribed by the laws of the state and in accordance with the provision that each district be made of contiguous and compact territory. In Illinois the prospect is that the two additional representatives will be elected at large next year. They will be unless the legislature redistricts the state. If the districts should be changed before the filing of nomina­ tion petitions next February all would go well. But there would be compli­ cations if the change were not ma^de till after the primary. It would be necessary then to hold a special con­ gressional primary. Whether redistricting can be ac­ complished before the primary will be determined by developments when the legislature resumes in October. It is in special session oh the waterway and Attorney General Stead holds that re­ districting cannot be added to the call. Another special session would be nec­ essary. A majority of Illinois Repub­ lican leaders favor electing the two congressmen at large. PAINLESS DENTISTRY. feee the great Quaker dentist at the Riverside hotel.

Offices in Riverside hotel ILLUMINATION AT PISTAKEE VENE­ TIAN Nir.ffT IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER. Don't forget the Eagle picnic at Nell's Columbia park next Sunday, August 20. The members of a woman's club of Chicago were out last Thursday and made a trip to the lotus beds in the passenger boat "Alice." The heavy rains of the last few days have brought the waters of the lakes and river up considerably, all of which is being appreciated by everyone. Stephen H. Freund with a party of eighteen made a trip to the lotus beds in the passenger boat "Alice" on Fri­ day of last week. Those who made the trip report an enjoyable time and de­ clare that they picked all the .flowers they wanted without leaving the boat. Next Saturday evening at the Pis- takee Yacht club pavilion Commodore James A. Pugh entertains the mem­ bers of the club, together with their friends, at a grand reception and ball. This number has become an annual event and always terminates in one of the gayest and most fashionable events of the summer season at Pistakee. With favorable weather conditions a tremendous crowd is looked for. Grass Lake, 111., and Lake Pepin, Wis., have become rivals in the way of attractions. Each claims to have the only bed of Egyptian lotus lilies to be found in this country. Grass Lake had been modest in its claims until its rival appeared on the scene. Dis­ patches from Maiden Rock, Wis., stat­ ed that lotus seeds, which have sur­ vived the wreck of a steamer carrying them, have grown into a large bed at the head of Lake Pepin and that scores of people are gathering the fragrant blossoms of the royal flower of the Nile. Just where the wrecked steam­ er came from, or where it was bound for when it deposited its load in Lake Pepin, the dispatches did not explain. Residents of Grass Lake dispute the claim, as they have had acres of the lilies growing there for years. They form one of the beauty spots in the chain of lakes in that portion of the state. The Egyptian lilies are to be found -at the outlet of Fox lake, where it flows into Channel lake, and the bed covers several acres. R. J. Twitchel, who attempted to obtain money from several physicians on the pretense that he was president of the "Chicago Newspaper Reporters' association" and that he was soliciting funds for a place of rest for "wornout newspaper men" at Fox Lake, was fined $60 and costs on a charge of oper­ ating a confidence game by Municipal Judge Dicker at the Harrison street court in Chicago last wgtek. He denied that he was involved in the scheme and testified that he was sent to the office of Dr. F. Kreissl, 5 North Wa­ bash avenue, Chicago, last Friday by two men known to him as A. L. Gor­ man and, Edward S. Howells, who rep­ resented that they were connected with two Chicago morning newspapers and asked him to collect $10 from Dr. Kreissl as a favor to them. Twitchel said he had been employed as a sales­ man. Venetian night at Pistakee Bay and lake last Saturday evening was ob­ served in one grand manner. The dis­ play was as pretty and fair as ever seen in old Venice itself. The shores of the lake and bay were beautifully lined with hundreds of fairy lamps and Chinese lanterns, and this year electric lights were also used for the first time for illumination purposes. The parade, which left the club house pier at about nine o'clock, was made up of about twenty beautifully decorat­ ed launches. The launches slowly skirted the edge of the waters and were greeted by the cottagers as they passed the cottages. At quite a num­ ber of places the parade was greeted with colored fires, which added greatly to the spectacle. The resorters this year appeared to take greater interest in this event than has been shown for years. It seemed as if one cottager was trying to outdo the other in the way of decorations and the sight as witnessed by hundreds of resorters and visitors at Pistakee last Saturday even­ ing is one that will long remain in the memory of those who had the pleasure of witnessing it. LLOYD WORKS DIES AFTOT SFLOCK NORTH SHORE W1REMAN SUCCUMB8 TO ELECTRICAL BURNS. Something doing everj the Eagle picnic at Col next Sunday, August 20. minute at nbia park #-lt Lloyd Works, lineman for the North Shore Electric company, who was fat­ ally burned Friday by coming in con­ tact with a live wire while at work at Crystal Lake, died Saturday ni^ht. Immediately following the accident, which occurred Friday forenoon, the young man was taken to the West Side hospital, Chicago, where he died Sat­ urday evening at about 6 o'clock. Mr. Works was at work at the top of a thirty foot pole when the back of his head accidentally come in contact with a live wire. He was thrown forc­ ibly to the ground, sustaining injuries in the fall which probably would have crippled him for life had he survived the electrical burns. A hole about two inches in depth was burned in the back of his neck and he was also severely burned about the face and body and wrists. His in­ juries were sudh that physicians be­ lieved that if he survived the shock that he would be paralyzed for life. Excursion boats will run between McHenry and Columbia park all day and evening next Sunday, August 20. Eagle picnic, WA CFLLLD DROWNET FOUR YEAlt OLD VIRGINIA DROWNED AT ROUND LAKE. e Virginia Simeng, four year old daughter of Joseph Si mens, a clerk in the court of Judge Walker, Chicago, was drowned in Round lake Saturday afternoon at five o'clock, while en­ gaged in making mud pies. Her par­ ents occupied a cottage at the lake, having gone there for an outing. The child had been making mud pies on the beach the greater part of the afternoon and it is supposed that she wandered out onto a little pier to get some water when the accident happened. No onfe saw the accident, but it is generally believed that she lost her balance when she stooped over to get the water and tumbled into the lake, which at this point is between three and four feet deep. ) The accident apparently happened so quickly that the child made no out­ cry, or if she did the feeble call was soon drowned by the waters which closed over her. The parents missed the child a short time alter and instituted a search and when they did not find her became gen­ uinely alarmed. Some of the other cottagers took up the search and soon quite a number were beating about, calling for the little child. One of the Graham brothers from Long Lake happened to stroll along about this time and something im­ pelled him to walk out on the little boat pier. He looked about in the water and a few feet from the pier, lying on the lake bottom, he saw the child's body. It was taken from the lake and all efforts at resuscitation were useless. The inquest was presided over by Coroner Taylor of Lake county and a verdict of accidental drowning was returned. BARNES ft BARNES NEW LAW FIRM C. r. BARNES ADMITS SON TO FULL PART­ NERSHIP IN BUSINESS. [Woodstock Republican.] Barnes & Barnes is the style of the new iaw firm recently organized when C. P. Barnes admitted his son, C. Percy Barnes, into partnership in his business, and under that name the firm will transact its business in the future. The senior Barnes for nearly thirty years has been a leading practitioner at the McHenry county bar and his skill is well known and recognized thruout the state and in adjoining states. On the records of our courts can be found the hundreds of cases in which he has successfully represented his clients, some of them being the most noted legal battles ever pulled off in this section of Illinois. It is a safe assertion that Mr. Barnes can point to more legal victories than any attorney at present practicing in the courts of McHenry county, and it is probably a fact that no attorney in Illinois who has carried the interests of his clients to appellate and supreme courts can point to so few reversals and so many affirmations of the judgments of the lower courts. In criminal practice he also has a most enviable record, and it has been his proud boast that no client of his ever entered the walls of Joliet prison. The younger Barnes was admitted to the bar only a few years ago, but has thus far made a fine record, being acknowledged the best collector of accounts in the county. He is atten­ tive to business and ambitious to suc­ ceed, and in the new arrangement father and sou are drawn into closer confidence and will be the .better able to serve the many clients of the firm. The Republican extends its best wishes to the new firm--new in name, hut old in the confidence of the public. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. ITEMS CLIPPED FROM PLAINDEALER OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AOO. We learn that Richard Thompson, who lives southwest of this village, had a valuable blooded bull killed by lightning during the thunder storm on Friday morning last. The Riverside House in this village is now full of summer boarders, and under the management of Mr, Ford is becoming justly popular with pleasure seekers and the public generally. During the thunder storm on Friday morning last a barn of Isaac Jecks, west of this village, on the Woodstock road, was struck by lightning and with its entire contents burned to the ground. Eugene Perkins is the happiest man in this town and measures nine feet and three inches with his boots on. It's a boy and weighs 12} pounds, and arrived at his residence on Wednesday last. The races at Libertyville on Thurs­ day last drew out a large crowd from both Lake and McHenry counties. The interest of course was the match, race between "George O." and "Co­ manche." The two first heats were taken by "George O." and the three last and the race by "Comanche." We forbear comment. A good deal of money changed hands on the result. Emmett McDonald, the'trainer and driver of "George O.," had the mis­ fortune to get his arm broken on Sun­ day last while taking care of said horse. Both bones of the right arm were broken, which will lay him up for some time. Dr. Fegers was called and at this writing reports him com­ fortable. The round trip price of the Navi­ gator, from the Riverside pier to the Eagle's picnic next, Sunday, will be 35c a person, stopping to take passengers M every pier along the route. 9-lt Central. • ' '••"""•M 1 !'* i»" ' SUN., AUG. 20 (F IXtELLENT lOWS ̂ AND Delicious Pastries b the Inevitable rtiiilt It yoti na« White 5wan ...FIour*;&T -< RtfEWf. mmmwM PRESENTED BY A SPE­ CIALLY SELECTED CO.
