W. FREUND WEST McHENRY, PHONE 303 Vs •z) To the lover of GOOD (OFEEE We wish to .advise you that we have in­ stalled in our store a new ROYAL ELEC­ TRIC COFFEE HILL. This machine is equipped with steel knives which cut the berry into practically uniform clean cut particles, instead of grinding and crush­ ing it , as by the old met find. All coffee mills heretofore used will only crush the l>erry, mutilating the minute oil cells, allowing the coffee oil to evap­ orate, thus impairing the strength and tlavor. By this new process the little oil cells remain unbroken, the essential oil (food product) cannot evaporate and the coffee thus retains its fine, rich, aromatic flavor in its full strength. This is one reason why a pound of coffee cut in this mill will make from twelve to fifteen more cups of full si rength coffee than will any coffee ground in the old way. The lover of good coffee finds here a rich­ ness of flavor nwer found in coffee ground in the ordinary way. Another feature about this mill is that you may have your coffee cut as fine as the finest sand and it will still be practi­ cally iree from that, tine dusi. which is produced by the old method of grinding. You will, therefore, always have a clear cup of coffe Instead of the muddy effect-- a result of using the old style mills. ROYAL CUT COFFEE is also adaptable for percolators or French drip coffee pots. TRY A rOOND OF OUR COFfEE CUT ON A ROYAL MU AND WE KNOW YOD Will BE PLEASED WJTH THE RESULTS. :: JOHN ST OFF EW.

Howard Perry started on Tuesday morning' for West Point. He has orders to report there on the 27th. The little daughter of John Blake, who we reported as having her leg broke a few weeks since, had the mis­ fortune to fall and rebreak it on Sat­ urday last. The boat race on Thursday last was won by Stanley of Fox Lake, Dunnill, second, and a man by the name of Clark, third. Dunnill and Stanley are sons of the famous Pox Lake fishermen of that name. It was hot on Saturday afternoon, and Dad Holmes went to see how hot it was and says that the mercury had got out of the tube and was half way up the side of Pekovsky's brick block. You must take his word for it. It is ifood. In the foot race on Thursday last there were seven contestants, but we could riot learn the names of all. The distance was one hundred yards and the nice was won with ease by Tony Barbian. beating his closest competitor by ten feet. For the tub race on old settlers' day there were three entries, first money being won by Dell Ford, second by Artie Colby and third by Vernie Ford. The boys had the thing down fine and consequently kept right side up, spoil­ ing half the fun for the spectators. An incident occurred at the resi­ dence of Lewis Wait in this village last week that very seldom occurs in a lifetime. There were gathered to­ gether there four generations, father and mother, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. This is an occurrence that has never taken place in this section before, to our knowl­ edge. Our police court as been doing a railroad business the past few days and bummers and vagrants are getting their just deserts. Great praise is due our night watch for the vigilance they are using to hunt up and take care of those who have formerly been in the habit of laying around sheds and barns nights, thus endangering the entire village. The night watch are in dead earnest in this matter and there will be no more fooling in the business. Evil-doers will therefore take warning and stand from under. On Thursday as E. Richardson and family of Volo were driving to the Old Settlers' Reunion in this village, when at Lily Lake, the horse became fright­ ened at a hole in the bridge and ran away, wrecking the wagon and throw­ ing the occupants out. Mrs. Richard­ son received a severe c&t on her side and was otherwise seriously injured, and a little ten year old son of Mr. Richardson also had his leg broken. The others escaped. The team was in the Wauconda procession that was competing for the champion banner and the accident broke up the proces­ sion, thus losing the banner to that town. __ CATT.

COUSIN OF REV. W. A. CROSS DIES IN CALIFORNIA. A COMMUNICATION. The following communication was written for last week's issue, but ow­ ing to the fact that it did not reach us until after The Plaindealer forms had gone to press, we publish same this week: To the Editor: I wish to express, my feelings of thankfulness to the writer who in last week's issue signed himself "A Tax Payer." It is the appearance of such letters, every line of which shows the writer to be thoroly conversant with the de­ tails of the village business, one pro­ foundly interested in the village wel­ fare and well acquainted with the vil­ lage needs, that have a molding influ­ ence and educational value, they raise the standard. Such writers show true progressive spirit regardless of statements to the contrary, while allowing premises, town hall or other, to go to decay thru neglect and then demanding new ones, does not. Such writers, disappointed aspirants or not, protect the people, while those who seek improvements at more than they are worth do not. When the pumping engine was put in we were told it would also furnish electricity for the village. What do you think of it now? Let us have the books and records of the village officially examined, cover­ ing the past fifteen or twenty years. F. M. GOODMAN. Rev. Cross recently received a tele­ gram from Los Angeles announcing the death there, Aug. (i, of his cousin, ('apt. John Cross. The captain was thrown on his own responsibility when but a boy. He began in business in Ogle county, 111., when not over eigh­ teen years old. When a young man in the early days of the Civil war he organized the fourth Missouri cavalry and fought with it as a captain until the close of the war. He then served as a soldier eighteen months more in the regular army for the suppression of Indian outrages in the west. He figured most as a railroad build­ er, building and operating an electric railway at Little Rock, Ark., one at Lexington, Ky., and afterwards one at Santa Barbara, Calif. He was builder of the steam railroad between Los Angeles and Pasadena and between Los Angeles and Glendale, built the Los Angeles terminal railroad, built and owned the Ojai Valley railroad, built the Vallejo railroad and at the time of his death he was promoting a short line from Los Angeles to San Francisco. He served one term in the California legislature, and was seventy years old at the time of his death. The funeral services were conducted by his cousin, the Rev. J. Geo. Cross, who is a brother of Rev. W. A. Cross, pastor of the McHenry M. E. church. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS VIA THE NORTH WESTERN LINE.
