ITEMS The following instructions have just been issued and sent out by the Chica­ go Telephone company. By following the instructions better and more effi­ cient service is assured: Eliminate the word "double" when calling a number. Use the word "hundred" instead of "double O" or "O O." Use the word "thousand" instead of "O double O" or "O O O." Divide the number so that the hun­ dreds will be given first, then the tens and units as formerly. Enunciate the suffix clearly. Give a rising inflection on the last unit as well as the letter suffix, if it appears on the number. To promote clearer enunciation of telephone numbers by avoiding the use of words and methods that might l e a d t o m i s u n d e r s t a n d i n g s , o p e r a t o r s j at the local exchange of the Chicago j Telephone company have been given instruction and are now using a new system. While the new enunciation is designed only for the use of operators, it is expected that the public will | eventually adopt the new system be- j cause of its value in gaining correct < connection. To telephone operating companies the use of the word "double" in calling a number has been a stumbling block j to accuracy. Often slurred by the pub- < lie, it has led to wrong connections. By pronouncing each number separate- i ly this trouble may be eliminated. It i has also often been confused with the letter "W" which is now used as a j suffix in nearly all exchanges. But the chief value in the new | method of calling numbers lies in the ; assistance given the operator ip her j work of locating the proper place in j the switchboard where the desired line ) may be found. A glance at the table j belowv will show how numbers are divided. To the operator the figures j representing the hundreds in the num- ( ber, point unerringly to the section and panel in the switchboard where• the line called for is located. By hear­ ing these figures pronounced distinctly with a short pause before the tens andi units she is given great assistance in | her calculation. Having found the proper section of j the switchboard the operator is then} given further instructions by hearing f the numbers for the tens and units, j which of course, tell - her the exact) place at which she'must insert the plug j to make a connection between the two j lines. II the desired line is a party i wire the letter suffix shows ber how to ; ring on the line to signal the called party only. Rising inflection on the last part of | the number also has its uses. In re­ peating the number with this rising inflection it comes to the party calling in the*form of a question. He is there­ fore more liable to give, it attention and to correct any error made by the operator in hearing it. \ The use of the words "hundreds" and "thousand" are merely to prevent the use of "double O," while at the same time establishing a common plan for enunciation. Following is a list of representative numbers as pronounced under the new system: 1 as One with rising inflec­ tion. 21 as Two one with rising in­ flection. 22 as Two two with rising in­ flection. 123 as One--two three? 112 as One--one two? 122 as One--two two? Ill as One--one one? 100 as One--hundred? 1QP1 as One oh--oh one? 1224 as One two--two four? 1333 as One three--three three? 1212 as Qne two--one two? 2234 as Two two--three four? 3334 as Three three--three four? 4444 as Four four--four four? 5589 as Five five--nine nine? 1000 as One--thousand? 3800 as Three eight--hundred? 123-J as One--two three--J? 200-M as Two--hundred--M? 1353-R as One three--five three--R? 2000-W as Two--thousand--W? 222-Y1 as Two--two two-- Y one? 345-F2 as Three--four five--F two? CHINA SHOWEM. Mi-- Elizabeth Miller gave a china shower in honor of Mrs. Arthur Bick- ler, the bride of yesterday, at her home on Green street last Saturday evening. The beautiful home was tastefully dec­ orated in yellow and white and pre­ sented a very gay appearance.. The invited guests arrived at the home shortly after eight o'clock ami after the chin aw are had been presented the young people set out to enjoy an even­ ing of rare pleasure, which was fol­ lowed by refreshments. The affair was one of the prettiest of its kind ever held in McHepry. INFORMAL PARTY.

Seventeen carloads of barley have been shipped from Hebron to Milwau­ kee. Hundreds of acres of broom corn has been grown in the vicinity of Elgin this year. A rattlesnake was killed at Lake Geneva the other day which had four rattles on its tail. The canal that is being dug between Long and Fox lakes is now just having the finishing touches put to it. A Milwaukee Journal reporter re­ cently travelled from that citv to Bos- Elgin and it was to avoid this that he committed the rash act. He left a wife and son. Harvard Independent: The new street lights were turned on last Satur­ day evening for the first time and made a tine showing. There are twen­ ty-eight three-cluster and four five- cluster ornamental lamp posts. The posts are fourteen feet in height, weigh 360 pounds each, and are painted black. The lights are inclosed in 12-inch frost­ ed globes, the lamps on the three- cluster poles being 60-watt Tungstens and those on the live-cluster poles be­ ing 40-watt Tungstens. The cost of installing the new system of lighting is about $2,500. This amount was divided between the Harvard Commer­ cial club and the Harvard Light & Power Co.

WATCH FOR THE OPENING INSTALLMENT/ Tablets at Feteseh's, 1441 ton--1200 miles--entirely by electric car. The Woodstock school has an enroll­ ment of 750, with a good prospect of more entries. The attendance at Har­ vard is 572. T. B. Swale, city electrician of Wood­ stock, was the first in that city to fly the new U. S. flag with forty-eight stars. It was unfurled from the flag­ staff of the city building. According to buyers, Wisconsin's po­ tato crop bids fair to reach the 20,000,- 000 mark. The acreage in the state is about the same as last year, but grow­ ing conditions have been better. Lake Geneva Herald: George Small informs us that according to the H. H. Porter gauge 2.52 inches of rain fell last Sunday night. As nearly every­ thing was flooded no one will doubt it. The pos tot lice at Corliss, Wis., was entered by burglars on Thursday of last week and a number of stamps Stolen. Fortunately there was no money left in the office that evening. Corliss has more burglaries than any other place of its size in the world. One of the oddest happenings we have Been reported in press dispatches in a long time occurred at the recent national convention at Cleveland, O., of the Improved Order of Red Men, a well known fraternal organization. Before the convention adjourned, a resolution was adopted by the dele­ gates, prohibiting Indians from join­ ing the organization. Harvard Herald: Mr. and Mrs. John Kolt$, owners of the Miss Mary Long farm in Hartland, have welcomed their nineteenth child to their family, the latest being a sixteen pound daughter, who arrived last Friday. Fourteen of the nineteen children are living, com­ prising six sons and eight daughters. That Mr. and Mrs. Koltz enjoy the dis­ tinction of being the parents of the largest family in McHenry county is not disputed. Clinton Wickham of Woodstock com­ mitted suicide Sunday afternoon, Sept. 10, by catting bis throat with a razor while in a state of mental aberration. Last winter he was seriously ill with the grip and since that time it had been notioed that he did not always appear to be in a normal state of mind. It is thought be must have feared he would have to be compelled to go to kegan, inclusive, which has as its ob­ ject the*creation of legislation which shall establish a five mile prohibition zone about all government reservations in Illinois instead of a mile and an eighth as the law now provides. If the movement is successful, it means the wiping out of Waukegan's sixty saloons and twenty at North Chicago; it will effect two at Deerfield, and one at Rondout. Libertyville will then be the nearest saloon territory to Fort Sheridan and the training station. It is about three miles beyond the five mile zone as planned. Twenty-five or thirty acres of beauti­ ful woodland on Fox river, surrounding Cedar Rock, just below Five Islands, will be the site for a summer home where working girls of Chicago may spend their vacations, providing {Mind­ ing negotiations are carried thru. The land adjoins the property where Villa Maria, retreat for the Sisters of Mercy, is located. If these negotiations fail, it is declared probable that another site on Fox river will be selected. A relig­ ious society of Chicago is back of the movement to provide a summer retreat for the working girls of the big city. A representative of the society has been in Elgin'to look over the proper­ ty and declared it so ideal that he said it would be purchased if a price could be agreed upon. HAVE YOU PAID YOUR DOLLART The next and last meeting of the season of the Cemetery Aid society will take place with Mrs. T. J. Walsh on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 3, at 2:30 o'clock. There are still quite a num­ ber who have not as yet paid in their $1.00 for season's due6 and the officers sincerely hope that they will remit without further delay. It surely is re­ grettable that the officers should be asked to call for dues, as those having departed ones in Woodland cemetery should, in all due respect to those now resting there, come forward without being asked the second time. A better act cannot be bestowed than to keep the resting place of our once dear ones neat and clean and it is our duty to contribute towards the maintenance of such. _____ For a square deal and a quick sale list your property with C.

A romance that started when the two were schoolmates came to a climax at St. Mary's Catholic church in this village at four o'clock yesterday after­ noon when Miss Mayme Kathryn Hei­ mer became the wife of Mr. Arthur W. Bickler, the ceremony being per­ formed by Rev. A. Royer, pastor of the church. The ceremony was a very simple one I and was w itnessed by a large assem­ blage of relatives and friends of the pair. The couple, with their attendants, Miss Lillian Heimer and Mr. Casper Bickler, entered the church from the vestibule to the beautiful strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, very prettily rendered by the church organ­ ist,, Sister Ancilla. The bridesmaid and best man led the march, followed by the bride and •. room. ' The bride never looked more i harming. Her gown was of silk mar­ quisette over white satin, trimmed with crystal and pearl bead fringe. A white aigrette and crystal beads took the place of the customary bridal veil, while a white ivory prayer book was carried instead of flowers. The bridesmaid was becomingly dressed in a gown of pale yellow silk crepe de chine with ball trimmings. Her hair ornaments consisted of gold beads and marrabout. The spectacle was one of the most beautiful ever seen at the church. After the sacred words, binding the tivo for lifej had been si>oken. the bridal party again marched to the ves­ tibule of the edifice where the happy couple received the congratulations of those present. The newly weds, with a few invited relatives and friends, then gathered at the home of the bride's parents, where a wedding re­ ception and supper were partaken of. The home was very prettily decorat­ ed for the occasion, the color scheme of yellow and white being carried out in a most harmonious manner. The Mowers used were golden rod and isies. The couple will remain in McHenry » until the first of the week when they • ill go to their future home at Rogers 1 irk, where a cozy flat is being fur- | ied and placed into readiness for | em. 1 The bride is the third daughter of > our esteemed citizens, Mr. and Mrs. \ John Heimer. She is a most pleasing jj u well as popular young woman, who* S t i:sru her kind ways has won the friend- i i Uip and admiration of everyone who lows her. In social circles she has uiways been active, her musical and dramatic talent having brought her before the public on many different occasions. During the past few years she has appeared in many vntertain- ments and home talent shows given for a local benefit and her presence has always brought added favor upon her. While her numerous friends here are sorry to see her leave McHenry, their heartiest wishes for a long, prosperous and joyous journey upon the matri­ monial sea will accompany her to her new home. The groom is the second youngest son of Mi's. Theo. Bickler of this vil­ lage. He was born and raised in Mc­ Henry and has passed nearly his whole life at this place, where he has grown to be one of McHenry's most popular young men. He is an industrious, up­ right and enterprising young man with a bright future before him. He is em­ ployed at Rogers Park, where he holds a good position in the Freeborn laun­ dry.

IS OF LOCAL INTEREST •tve "THE TOYNAKER'S DREAM." One of the plays this season that is attracting a great deal of interest among local play goers is "The Toy- maker's Dream," which made an enormous success in the larger cities last season and proved to be one of the real comedy hits of recent years. "The Toymaker's Dream" has enjoyed the most flattering success wherever pre­ sented and iB now touring the country with one of the best organizations pos­ sible to select in making Up this com­ pany. The author had to be consulted and the resuft is that every character is in the hands of an artist who can produce all the best ideas as the crea­ tor of them. The specialties anfi songs introduced during the two acts will long be remembered as pleasing and entertaining. The scenery is said to be on the spectacular oitler and to be the handsomest ever seen in musical comedy, at the Central opera house one night only, Sunday, Oct. 1. 15-1 MOVES TO CRYSTAL LAKE. Dr. F. C. Ross of this place, who has been in practice here since April, '99 (except for a short time in Crystal Lake), has rented the front rooms in the Gracy block, over Prickett's hard­ ware store, in Crystal Lake and will move his office furnishings to that point about Oct. 1. The change is due, largely, upon request of friends, and also the greater facilities for work, as the office will be furnished entirely with gas and electrical appliances. One block north from depot. OPPOSE DENEEN'S WATER POWER PLAN. Woodstock Sentinel: The McHenry county board of supervisors last Tues­ day passed strong resolutions against Governor Deneen's water power scheme which was supported by Senator Olson in the legislature. These resolutions are similar to those which have been adopted by county boards all over the state, who generally are opposed to the scheme of taxing the people gen­ erally in order to create a big slush fund for the governor's henohmen to spend. ______________ School books at Petesch's, 14-tf AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER R- PORTERS DURING WEEK. 1® WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING IN THIS VIL~ LACE AND THE MEDIATE VICINITY- OTHER SHORT PARAGRAPHS.

It will soon be time for the police to start a movement for a "safe and sane" celebration of Hallowe'en by mis­ chievous I toys. Bob Koube. who was quite seriously injured in the railroad wreck here a> few weeks ago, will fully recover from the injuries received, according to in­ formation from Chicago. Ben Stilling and his gang of men are again getting ready for the carp seining season. The nets and all other' apparatus are being placed in condition and seining will be started soon. Their operations will be started in Fox river somewhere below McHenry this season. There is some talk of organising a pleasure club on the West Side. In old town the boys are also getting, their heads together for this purpose. Centerville has long since enjoyed, a club of this nature, with rooms on the second floor qf the Gus Schoel building* While rounding the corner at Third and Main streets between the hours of one and two last Sunday afternoon a machine driven and occupied by Wood- stockites broke off two of its wheels. The car remained alongside of (he highway until Monday noon, when tpr©. , new wheels arrived for the machine. , * / *§r3 The patchwork on the sidewalk on the Centerville bridge has been the cause of more than one stumble or fall. The village can thank its lucky stars that this piece of work has not been the cause of more than one damage suit. With the electric light service an uncertainty the place is a treacher­ ous one at night. R. I. Overton, the hustling West Side liveryman and auto garage owner, is seriously thinking of adding a new auto bus to his equipment next spring. Mr. Overton informs us that at differ* ent times during the past summer he was unable to take care of all the busi­ ness in the auto line and hopes to be better equipped before another year rolls around. "Fatty Felix" was the attraction at the Central last Sunday evening. The play itself was good and, while there was room for improvement in the cast, the audience appeared satisfied and was willing to overlook the flaws. The fact that McHenry was the first stand of the troupe probably accounted for the characters not being thoroly far miliar with their respective parts. The village board of Cary has granfe- ed a franchise to the Western United Gas & Electric Co. The laying Of pipes will begin at once and the officials of the gas company declare that Cary will be supplied with gas within the next ninety days. This gives gas to every large town and city in McHeMy county with the exception of McHenry. Ira C. Copley has promised the gas to McHenry and our citizens are anxiously awaiting the fulfillment of the con­ gressman's promise. Three squatters who have construct­ ed huts on swamp land in Pistakee lakpt were Saturday ordered to vacate tSttSr premises by order of the Lake county supervisors. The squatters had erect­ ed their huts on piles driven into the lake iJottom. The swamp land was made by earth which had been dumped ; into the lake from the canal between. ; Fox and Pistakee lakes. Three Lake county residents petitioned the board to grant them deeds to the premises. The board decided to lay this matter on the table until the December ternlu Vincennes (Ind.)
