The bazaar already gives promise of terminating into one of the largest ever attempted in McHenry and the manner in which the various commit­ tees are going ahead with the prelim inary work evidences that the event will be a hummer.

He was never knowh to dis­ appoint his patrons and all can rest assured that a fine time is in store for those who see fit to take in the event next Saturday night. Heimer's orches­ tra, which is gaining much favor among the dancers, will be present to furnish the musis.

HI8CFX,;.. 4 NEOUS ASSORTMENT OT NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORN FOX BUSY PEOPLE. Chas. Pasdeloupe's hotel at Fox Lake was recently destroyed by fire. A high grade Krell piano was in­ stalled in the high school at Richmond last week". Conductor Smith of the Elgin-Aurora line arrested a man for drinking on his car and the man was given twenty days in the county jail. Warden Rinear, one of the few pa­ tients at the Elgin State hospital suf­ fering with pellagra, died at the in­ stitution Tuesday night of last week, aged 50 years. Anton Krumpen has sold his farm on' English prairie to Frank Freund of Spring Grove. The farm contains forty-two acres and was sold for $5000, or a trifle over $119 an acre. A postal savings bank will be opened in the North Crystal Lake postoffice Nov. 22. This will be the third in the county and the first third class office in the county to have the savings depart­ ment. Car) Lundgren of Marengo, formerly jl member of the former world's cham­ pion Cubs and for the past year a pitcher for the Troy team in the New York state league, has been-purchased by Toronto of the Eastern league and will report to the Canadian city next spring. A. H. Anderson, Alden farmer, whose farm is two miles east of Har­ vard, has a yield of potatoes that will be hard to equal, even in the potato growing section of Wisconsin. From one acre of land he has obtained just 322 bushels. At 60 gents per bushel, which has been the prevailing price this fall, Mr. Anderson would receive $193.20. The tuberculosis institute at Wau- kegan is to have another cottage. The cottage is to be erected by Mrs. Anna Campbell of Highland Park, in mem­ ory of her husband, G. A. Campbell, who died a few weeks ago. This will be the second cottage erected by Mrs Campbell at this colony, the other one having been built some time ago for a daughter. Otto Seiler, the Woodstock athlete, fell on a football recently and broke his right shoulder blade. Seiler played with Illinois. His injury is regarded as the toughest bit of luck the Illini have had in years. He was counted on to aid in making a strong finish in the conference campaign. Seller's drop- kicking won the Chicago, Indiana and Syracuse games for Illinois last year. Automobilists should take notice that the village of Forest Park, on the road to Chicago, has placed a license fee of $20 on all two-seated machines that pass thru the town. This will place the village on the prohibitive list. The NapervUle automobile club, which formerly used this road to Chi­ cago, has laid out a new way to go and any of the members will be glad to di­ rect any tourist to keep them from the Forest Park officials. Alarmed by the faot that an investi­ gation has shown that 40 per cent of Joliet's schoolboys are oigarette smok- ert, a campaign in which school of­ ficials, the police department, county officers and national officials of the Anti-Cigarette league will join is to be started there. Lucy Page Gaston, head of the Anti-Cigarette league, will lead the fight. Dealers who sell cig­ arettes and cigarette papers to school boys will be prosecuted. The Curling Automatic Cement Post faotory at Union is in full operation. This product of cement has many super­ ior points over wooden posts, the prin­ cipal one is that it is practically inde< struotible, and another advantage is the manner in which the wire is at­ tached to the post without the use of hammer or staples. Several thousand of these posts have been contracted for and the promoters of the factory be­ lieve the demand will constantly in- orease. According to a bulletin issued by the department of agriculture and pub­ lished in a recent issue of the Chicago Journal, McHenry county, 111., is the third largest market milk producing county in the United States, being credited in the census of 1900 with sales of 29,194,198 gallons. It is ex­ celled only by St. Lawrence and Orange counties, N. Y., with sales of 39,795,*>42 and 29,617,072 gallons respectively. Kane county is the second milk pro­ ducing county in Illinois and the fourth in the United States, with 24,244,532 gallons. Crystal Lake Herald: Fire com­ pletely destroyed the farm home of Mr. »i~"i Mrs. Fred W. Wendt, half a mile smith of Crystal Lake Friday fore­ noon. The fire started from an un­ known cause in the southeast corner of the building, in a summer kitchen. Sixty bushels of potatoes, five tons of coal, all the canned goods, etc., in the basement were a total loss. The house was valued at $1,500 and the furniture and provisions at $500, making a total loss of $2,000. There was insurance of $800 on the house and $200 on the house­ hold goods, in a company represented fry % tfigg(N new KKL mumm jop® DEAD 111 HOME H. HEIMER OF CB1CA00 T NORTHWESTERN. W'\ The Northwestern hotel and buffet on the West Side is now under new management, the change going into effect last week Saturday. Thru the change in management Peter H. Weber has stepped aside to give way to Stephen Heimer of Chica­ go, who took charge of the place on the above mentioned day. The Northwestern hotel and buffet is rented by the Ottawa Brewing asso­ ciation, which has a five year lease on the place. Peter H. Weber has been managing the plase for the Ottawa concern ever since the brewing oom pany's lease went intov effect, but ow­ ing to reasons better known to them selves a change in management was decided upon, with the result that Mr, Heimer was selected as Mr. Weber successor. The new manager is not a stranger here. Having been born near this 1 village and being the brother of Mathias, John and Henry Heimer, he is already quite well known to our people, altho most of his life was spent in Chicago, where he has been con nee ted with this line of work for twen ty-three years. Mr. Heimer is thoroly familiar with every detail connected with the bust ness that he has thus taken charge of and his years of Chicago experience should make him a valuable man for the company that has placed the man­ agement of this house in his care. The place is now undergoing a thoro cleaning. New fixtures and electric lights will be added to the buffet equip­ ment and when all contemplated changes have been made the place will present a city air in every respect. In speaking to a Plaindealer repre- septative Mr. Heimer gave out the in­ formation that he expected to conduct the affairs of the Northwestern in a manner that would be a credit to him self as well as the house and would at all times endeavor to give the public the very best servioe at his command, He further stated that he had faith in McHenry and was glad to get back to his old home, and hoped that he would be given the consideration and patron' age that the house will merit. VILLAGE BOARD SAYS FAREWELL. The village board held its last meet­ ing at its "quaint" council chamber on Monday evening of this week and after the close of the -session the president and the balance of the village officers bid the place farewell. In the future the village board will meet in a new council chamber which is now being constructed in the northeast corner of the power house. The "quaint" old meeting place has at last been isolated so far as village meetings and the members of the council are concerned. The move is ons that The Plaindealer had suggested some time ago and now that quarters are being prepared the members of the'.board are assured a warm room at least in which to hold their meetings. THE ALPINE TROUBADOURS. In last week's issue we failed to make mention of the second number of the McHenry high school entertain­ ment oourse whjch took place at the Central opera house on Wednesday evening of last week. The Alpine Troubadours, who furnished the enter­ tainment for the evening, proved them selves artists in their line of work While there were a number in the audience who failed to appreoiate the work of the visitors from Innsbruck, Tyrol, mast of the gathering present enjoyed it. The musical numbers by Mr. Admont were especially good. The company appeared in their foreign land costumes. mr NCKLous warns ram • HOT NIGHT- WRITES ABOUT CHINA. Now that China is holding the cen­ ter of the stage with its revolution, the article we run in this issue of The Plaindealer, "Hie Great Awakening of China," by General A. W. Greely, former consul general of China, will be very interesting to you. Read it-- and every Week look all thru the paper for stories and matter of particular interest to you. Our special service costs considerable and you should get the entire benefit from it. The authors and contributors are the best--in fact, the same that write for the big maga­ zines. To get the entire benefit of The Plaindealer you should read it all. THE VERIULYA CASE. The Vermilya ease in Chicago, which has gained so much newspaper notori­ ety, has become intensely interesting to the older inhabitants of this village who now recall that Mrs. Vermilya was at one time a resident of this vil­ lage. While residing here her bite- band conducted a saloon in the place now occupied by Heimer Bros, on the West Side. At the time the family resided here, we are toldv the woman, who is now charged with the murder of a policeman, was considered respect­ able in every way. Qur people are watching the developments of with the keenest of interest. 4 WARHINGTO HUNTERS. „ , ; * We, the undersigned! herewith give notice that hunting and trespassing upon our premises are strictly prohib­ ited.

JACOB WORTS AND AI.piMrf Pp-LES, The cold body of Nioklous Winkels was found at his home last evening. The body, when found, was lying at the foot of die stairway leading to the second story of the home. A scalp yousd Kjviiffin nooir cvidvuCvd he had undoubtedly fallen from the top of the stairway. The body was discovered by Jacob Worts, Albert Miller and Peter Meyers. The former had rented the Winkels house and had just reached the place with the first load of household gi last evening when the discovery was made. Mr. Meyers was the first to enter the house and was confronted by the body of Mr. Winkels. Medical aid was summoned, but it was of no use as the man had been dead for some time be fore the discovery was made. At the coroner's inquest, which took place at the Winkels home this fore­ noon, the jury returned a verdict that the unfortunate man had come to his death from an accidental fall down his stairs, fracturing his neck.

E. church planned and executed a donation party for their pastor, the Rev. W. A. Cross, at the M. E. church last evening. A good crowd turned out to enjoy the event, which termi nated in one of the most delightful gatherings that has taken place at the church In some time. The pastor was the recipient of many gifts during the evening, all of which, we feel safe in saying, are heartily appreciated by him. The evening's program, which consisted of readings, recitations and vocal music, was an excellent one. The readings of Miss Constance Pur- cell of Barrington were pleasing and worthy of special note, while the solos by Lelah Claxton and Ella Mollohan and the reading by Doris Wingate were eapably rendered, as were the other numbers on the program. The event closed with the partaking of refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, coffee and apples. JSVBPH W. PBEUMB M POPULAR ̂ The Waucoada Leader last week handed our Democratic candidate for the lower house the following compli­ ment: "Joseph W. Freund of McHen­ ry was a recent caller at this office and informs us that he will be a candidate for member of the lower house of the Illinois legislature. Mr. Freund is qne qf McHenry's leading business men i having conducted a clothing Store in that place for a number of ye%rs, and he is well known and pop­ ular. He has received considerable encouragement from his many friends thruout the district and we believe he will make a strong candidate at the primaries next April."

To the Sunday school people of Mc­ Henry county: Next Sunday, Nov. 12, is the World's Temperance Sunday and is appropriate­ ly observed by the Sunday schools the world over by the study of the lesson, "Belshazzar's Feast and Fate," and by a world wide movement to create in­ creased interest in the temperance cause. In Sunday school temperance work McHenry county stands at the front, being a banner county and one of the first in the state of Illinois to become so. This is the result of the earnest, per* sistent and wisely directed efforts of our superintendent of the temperance department of the county Sunday school association, Mrs. Redpath of Marengo. This department demands time, toil and money and these our representa­ tive has furnished without stint. Will not our Sunday schools take advantage of the coming temperance Sunday to help and encourage her? Why can not and will not each Sunday school in the county do a little by taking a col­ lection or making an appropriation from the treasury of the school and sending it to Mrs. Robert Redpath, Marengo, 111., for this department? Having been superintendent of this department for two years, I know some­ thing of its needs and difficulties. I make the suggestion, knowing it is needed, as Mrs. Redpath will apply it wisely, feeling that it is but justice, and that4t is not fair that Mrs. Red- path should advance the money and have to wait till the meeting of the convention for its return* And further­ more, with increasing expenses the as­ sociation has had no increased income and this contribution would help sus­ tain and ^plarge the work and greatly relieve the association. Attention, brethren. Who responds? You can count on McHenry M. E. Sun­ day school for one. WM. A. CROSS, Representative to the press for Mc­ Henry county Sunday school associa­ tion.

Don't let them heedlessly sacrifice themselves that your own burden may be made a trifle lighter. Your family is standing still when you do that sort of thing miH not progressing as an American family ought to progress. Look to the future of your boy, not to your present ease. They do not realise what they are missing, but you do, especially if you have missed the higher education yourself. Keep your boy in school. Your self-respect will increase if you do; and the harder it is for you to do it the more satisfaction you will have from your achievement."--Chicago Tribune. FLORA OEYOSS STILL POPULAR. The Flora De%>ss company of play­ ers presented the comedy drama "Two Thieves" at the Central opera house here last Sunday night. The company this season is just as strong as ever and that Miss DeVoss has lost none of her popularity in this village was evi­ denced from the manner in which she was received'last Sunday night. The entire company was made up of artists. A better balanced show troupe never visited the theatre. The Willing Workers' society of the Universalist church will meet with Mrs. J. W. Smith on Thursday, Nov. 16. All members are respectfully quested to be present.

When seen at one ol owr grocery stores he waa attempting to purchase empty sugar barrels at ten cents each. Ben goes into anything where he can make a dollar.
