Charles & Frett, who during the past thirteen years has been in the meat business in McHenty, and who since April, 1968, has conducted a first- class meat niirket and grocery in the Central opera house block, laid aside his knife, saw find cleaver the first of the month when. he disposed of his business here tq . i. W. Aebischer of Chicago. This important business transaction was begun about a month ago. Mr. Aebischer, tfho has been in this line of business in Chicago for some years, recently disposed of his place in that city, and it was while out looking for a new location that he came to Mc­ Henry. Being an old friend of Mr. Frett'S he came here merely to say hello. After inform"*? Mr. Frett that he was looking for a location, he was the most surprised man in the world to learn that the McHenry busipestf. was for sale. It wasn't long before the two got together on the price and the sale was closed last week, the new owner taking possession on Monday morning of this wleek, April 1. Mr. Frett, since coming here to en­ gage in the meat business, has met with* signal success. By giving the people of this place a first-class market, continually stocked with the very best that money could buy, and thru his thoro knowledge of the business, coup­ led with fair and honest dealings, he has built up one of the finest little country trades to be found anywhere. Mr. Frett first became interested in McHenry thirteen years ago last August, when Frett Bros. & Witt opened up the shop just south of G. E. School's place. In February, 1900, he bought out his brothers' ra well as Mr. Witt's Interests in the plafee and since then the business has been steadily on the increase. In March, 1908, he pur­ chased the Central opera house block of Gilbert Bros., who were at that time conducting a grocery store therein. Soou after his Sen purchase he ilioveu into the corner store and opened up, in connection with his already well estab­ lished meat business, a first-class gro­ cery department. The place has been a money-maker ever since this deal went thru. The new owner iif this excellent bus­ iness is a man of wide experience in this particular line of work. In fact, he has been engaged therein his entire life ia Chicago. Mr. Aebischer ap­ pears to be a congenial sort of a fellow and that he will carry on the business in the same manner as it has been looked after heretofore is our opinion. Mr. Aebischer has the assistance of his son, William, who is also a prac­ tical man, and the> two are in every way capable of caring for the business that may come their way. Just what Mr. Frett will do in the future is a conjecture. He doesn't know himself. In view of the fact that C. G. is not the kind of a man to sit idle, we will venture a guess that he will find something to take up his time before many moons roll by. He still retains the management of the Central opera house. We wish the new management success. v McHENRY BOATS STILL POPULAR. That the McHenry boats are grow­ ing in popularity with each year is evident from the manner in which orders are being received by the pres­ ident, Everett Hunter. Among the recent purchasers of boats are the fol­ lowing: F. Duda of Chicago, a launch; «A. Immekus of Pistakee Bay, a launch; Ed. R. Schlayel of Des Plaines, a launch; Messrs. C. and J. F. Schiffman of Chicago, a launch each, both boats to be used on Long lake, Lake county; Hobart Moore, the Lake Geneva mill­ ionaire, a speed launch to be used on Lake Geneva; Elmer B. Springsteen of Albany, N. Y., a launch. The force at the factory is working with might and main to get the orders out on time and the enterprise never presented a busier scene. Now let's keep on boost­ ing the McHenry product. We cannot say too much in favor of McHenry's boats, the finest in the ?$Dcld. CHINA SHOWER FOR BRIDE-TO-BE. Mrs. George Steilen entertained a company of friends at. a china shower given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. P. Steilen on Water street last Satur­ day evening in honor of Miss Anna Miller, a bride-to-be. The affair was a very pretty as well as most *enjoyable one and those in attendance were more than delighted with the manner in which the hostess entertained them.

Any child under lti found on the streets or public places of that city without a proper guardian after 9:30 will be taken in custody by the police. A fine will be assessed at from one dollar to ten dollars. Grayslake Times: Ducks have been seen at the lakes in this district, which is another sure sign of spring. They are late this year, due to the fact that the lakes have been frozen over later than usual. They are now generally found around creeks and sloughs. Beginning with the first of July the headquarters of the Northwestern mil­ itary academy will be located at Lak<? Geneva, on the south shore of the lake. Geqoral plans for the buildings are now in the hands of architect*, whic-h, when completed, will present a front­ age of nearly a thousand feet. On Friday, March 22, Frank Rita of Marengo recovered the horse stoleh from hiis barn«on the night of January 23, J911--fourteen months ago almost to a day. He has kept up a persistent, expensive search and finally located the animal in Rockford. It had changed owners several times and now Mr. Ritz is busy tracing the different owner­ ships back to the guilty party. Tho it is not generally known, it is a fact, that two of the most far reach­ ing wireless telegraph stations iq the world are located in Louisiana. The station at Graud Isle has a range of 1,000 nautical miles and can reach across the Gulf of Mexico to the Pa­ cific ' ocean. The other station is on the Grunewald hotel, in New Orleans, has a range of <300 nautical miles.

The stand will be of cement and will be placed at the start and finish qf the race. Genoa Republican-Journal: ' Two wolves mixed up with Henry Bur­ roughs' hogs Sunday night and suc­ ceeded in killing seven fine porkers, some weighing about lOOpounds. Thi6 is the first appearance of wolves in that part of the country for some time. They were plainly tracked about the place the next morning by Mr. Bur­ roughs and several hunters scoured the country thereabouts, but the brutes are as elusive and cunning as they are blood-thirsty. You will buy your berries this spring from Wisconsin in boxes wit' bottoms near the bottom. Berries, under the law, must be sold in boxes containing either quarts, pints or half pints. This section of the law has provoked some discussion, many merchants claiming that berries are nowadays always sold by the box, ro claim being made as to capacity. In too many cases, however, small fruit is advertised and sold by measure in boxes that are short of what is claimed, and the law, designed to meet these instances, applies to all.

Walsh, on- Sunday morning of this week, following an ill­ ness covering the short period of only a week5 The venerable Mrs. Walsh was taken to her bed sfoout a week previous to her departure and the end came iq a most peaceful manner. Altho her con­ dition was looked upon as serious, it was not thought that the end would come soon. Mrs. Amelia Rawson Walsh was born at Quebec, Canada, on February 19, 1821, she having passed the ninety- first mile stone of life's journey on the nineteenth day of February last. She grew to womanhood at her birth­ place and was united in marriage to William Walsh in the Canadian city. From Quebec she, with her husband, moved to Cleveland, Ohio, thence to Chicago and from Chicago to this vil­ lage. She came to McHenry in 183t> and, with the exception of a two years' residence in Elgii, she has made this village her home ever since.

Freund on Tuesday of this week defeated Jacob R. Justen for*heofficeofcommissioner of highways. These two men have now fought two battles for this same office and ea4h has ooe battle to his credit. Thus it may be said that- th$y are on equal terms as far as polities go. It wili be remembered that their previous battle, which was waged a few years "ago, resulted in John H. Freund's winning the nomination at the town caucus. Mr. Justen at that time came up independently and beat out the former at the spring election. This year the story is just the re­ verse, Justen winning out at the cau­ cus and Freund at Tuesday's ejection. Here in the McHenry precinct Justen had a lead of thirty votes while Freund ran ahead at Ringwood by thirty-nine votes, thus giving the winner nine confronted that generation, but in, ^ ̂ ood- 8°*® <doseDe«s' The election brought out a total of 542 voters.

In every day life she was a woman of many good traits whish .have always been exer­ cised by her until such time that her age compelled her to give herself into the care qf others. During the past two years she has made her home with her son, where she passed away. During all this time she was given every attention and case that human hands could bestow upon her.. Her husband passed away at Elgin some ydars ago at the advanced age of eighty-three years. She leaves three sons to mourn, they "being James S> Walsh: of Waukegan, C. A. Walsh of Elgin and T. J.

CONN SPEAKS TALKS TO NcHENRY VOTERS AT STOF- FEL'S HALL THURSDAY. George W. Conn, Republican candi­ date for congressman from this dis­ trict, spoke to the voters of this plaoe and vicinity at Stoffel's hall on Thurs­ day evening of last week. His audience, owing to the lateness of getting the advertising matter to the public, yas not as large as it T^culd have been had the printer been given a trifle more time to get the heralds out and have them properly distrib­ uted. However, Mr. Conn was given S very cordial reception here. Mr. Conn in his address told how his opponent, Ira C. Copley of Aurora, has built up a big commercial monop­ oly in his gas business and how he now has a tendency to monopolize the daily press. He goes still further by saying that Copley is building up a political monopoly. The speaker stated that it was his opinion that the present congressman was not entitled to another term in office for the reason that he believed Mr. Copley to have been elected to the office that he now holds by Democratic votes. In brief, he intimated that he, and not the man with the millions, was the man to be nominated. AttOrney Abbott accompanied Mr. Conn to this place and made a very forceful address. He went over Mr. Copley's history. He was quite sure that Mr. Conn would be nominated on Tuesday next by a fair majority. The Conn followers in McHenry are working hard these days and 'from present indications it looks as if he would make a better showing in Mc­ Henry tl^an was first expected.

Freund's Plurality The pony ballot, that of voting on the question of whether or not to re­ tain the present poll tax, was not given the consideration that was naturally expected of the voters and as a result only a trifle over one-half, of those who went to the polls, voted on the question at all. To be exact, out of 542 votes cast only 279 voted the spe cial ballot. The vote<4X1 thi| question stood as follows: For.... / ..194 Against 85 The vote shows 't^at the poll 'tax which has been assessed in this town­ ship for quite a number of years has now been done away with entirely and in the future McHenry township resi-' dents will not be pestered ill this way. The poll never brought in much over $100 at the very best and it Was decid­ ed that the amount wasn't worth the while of spending the time in collect­ ing the same. This is a tax that has always caused the town clerk a great deal of trouble and thero wasn't a per­ son who paid a poll tax who was over­ ly anxious to do so. The taking away of the poll tax not only saves the town clerk a whole lot of Work, but creates a satisfied feeling among those who had to dig up in the past and who in the future will forget that there ever was such a thing, unless the ques­ tion should ever come up again and be left to the voters to decide. We dov^bt if a {x>ll tax will ever*b*issued in the township again. •" Jacob R. Justen, who thus steps from office, takes his defeat good natu redly and has nothing to be ashamed of, as his services while in office have been satisfactory and his showing At the election was also an admirable one. It was a case of one candidate having just a few more friends than the other. The smoke of battle has already oleared the fielc} and all is well in both camps,--and this is just as i^t should be. " THANK YOU, NY FRIENDS. I take this means of extending my sincere thanks and appreciation fr> my friends and supporters who stood by me during the recent town caucus, as well as Tuesday's election. Altho my opponent, John H. Freund, won the race, I carry no ill feeling towa/ds him nor anyone else, but feel highly elated in the showing that I made against as strong a jnan as Mr. Freund. I have been beaten fairly and squarely and hope that some day I may again have the pleasure of competing for the office of township commissioner with him.
