The Democratic rally that was ad­ vertised to take place at Johnsburgh on Tuesday evening of this week proved a big disappointment to the Demo­ cratic committee which had arranged for the event when the speakers who were scheduled to appear failed to put in their appearance. A big crowd had gathered at Smith's hall and everything pointed to one of the biggest Democratic rallies that the German town had ever witnessed, but when the time arrived for the calling of the meeting it was found that the scheduled speakers were among the missing. The commit^e was up in the air and for a time it looked like everything would have to be called altho there were a num­ ber of McHenry Democrats who would probably have spoken bad the Repub­ licans not put in their appearance. It seems that when all appeared dark and gloomy Attorney David R. Joslyn and Senator A. J. Olson of Woodstock put in their appearance and arrangements were made for talks by these two men. The meeting was soon called to oyder and the gathering was then ad­ dressed by the two Republican speak­ ers of Woodstock. A Republican meeting was held at Ringwood the same n'ght and it was thru their pres­ ence at the latter place that Messrs. Joslyn and Olson happened to take a run over to Johnsburgh, where they found conditions as above stated. At the close " of the meeting some lively arguments took place between the Republicans and Democrats pres­ ent and for a time things were made pretty warm. As it turned out the voters present were fully repaid for turning out as they had the pleasure of hearing one of the most lively de­ bates between Republicans and Demo- crates ever listened to in these parts. VOTING MACHINE MEN HERE An anto bearing representatives of the International Voting Machine com­ pany pulled into town Wednesdny fore­ noon. The gentlemen's mission was to further acquaint the voters with their machines and impress upon them the great value they would be to Mc­ Henry county. The voting machine question will appear on next Tuesday 's ballot and the voters will tfcus be giv­ en an opportunity to eafpt^ss their opinions ou -this machine. •<A voting machine manufactured by this com­ pany was on display in the Schumach­ er block here several days last sum­ mer and nearly all who saw the won­ derful piece of mechanism appeared to be favorably impressed with it, and it looks to us as if the voters of McHenry couyty will vote to have the same in­ stalled in this county. The maohine is practical in every way and simple to operate. Besides this it will be the means of saving the county quite a sum when once installed. We believe the voters should vote "yes" on tins question next Tuesday. The repre­ sentatives of the oompany are taaking a tour of the county and expect to vis­ it every town and voting precinct here before returning to Elgin. FORMER McMEKRY BOY A BENEDICT, Samuel L. Zimmermann, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Zimmermann of Chicago and who formerly resided here, was united in marriage to Miss Lena Schonberger at Omaha, Neb., at six o'clock last Sunday evening, the ceremony having been performed at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Y. Schonberger, at 2233 Locust street in that city. The groom is a bright young man and is a product of the Mc­ Henry high school, having graduated from our school with the class of *03. After finishing the high school here he entered Armour institute in Chica­ go. Here he took up a course in civil engineering and after completing the course he entered the employ..of the C. A N. W. R. R. Co., with which oompany he has been since. He went to Omaha severs! years ago and will make that city his future home. The McHenry friends extend their con­ gratulations. MYSTIC WORKERS' DANCE.

Schmitt suffered severe bruises at the home of her son, Jos. Schmitt, at Johnsburgh one day last week when she fell down the stairway leading to the basement. No bone's were broken, altho the fall caused her severe suffering for a few d§ys. Dr. Miller attended her and under his care she is recovering nicely. See "The Circus Girl" Sunday even­ ing.

Next Tuesday, Nov. 5, is election day and it behooves every eligible voter to go to the polls on that day and cast his vote for the man of his choice. We are not going to make it our business to tell our readers how to votei We believe that every ' voter who has followed the present campaign closely has by this time made up his mind as to how he will mark his ballot next Tuesday. The existenc^of the third party, namely, the Progressives or the Bull Moose, has naturally made the tight a three-cornered affair and, while the Democratic candidate for president looks the one best bet at this time, it is hard to say who will be elected the next president of the United States. Local conditions have changed con­ siderably since the primary of last spring. Here in McHenry, from pres­ ent indications, it begins to look as'if Wilson and the entire Democratic ticket would pull a large vote, while at the spttng primaries the Demo­ cratic party made a very poor show­ ing. At the primaries Roosevelt led the field by a handsome majority, he re­ ceiving 158 votes in the McHenry and Riugwood precincts; Tafi ran second with 131; C'lark third with 87, Wilson fourth with 54, and LaFollette fifth witi 36 votes to his credit. Whether the 158 voters who cast their ballot for "Teddjt" Roosevelt at the primaries will again vote for hini next Tuesday is more than we can say, but we will venture a guess that quite a number of voters have changed their attitude since then and will place their vote either for T»ft or Wilson. We should venture a guess that most of those who do shift t<o another candi­ date will favor William Howard Taft, In our estimation it is not the stanch Republican vote or the stanoh Demo­ cratic vote that elects presidents. We earnestly believe that it's the in­ dependent voter who does the trick and it is his vote that realty turns the tide either one way or another. As has always beeq the case in Mc­ Henry and vicinity, there are only a few who are doing all the shouting and seguing and that silent vote still exists. There are any number of .voters in the two precincts here that never openly declare themselves and there isn't a person in the world who oan guess which way this vote is go­ ing. What is true here in McHenry is true the nation over and that is one reason why we never placed much con­ fidence in the so-called straw vote. Next Tuesday will tell the story and as this is the last issue of The Plain- dealer until after election we will say to the voters of the McHenry and Ringwood precincts that if you are satisfied with present conditions and William Howard Taft's administration place your vote for that candidate; if you are not satisfied and believe that any one of the other candidates would be an improvement place your vote for the roan whom you think will fill the bill better. As to our own private personal opinion, we have every faith in the present incumbent and believe that be is entitled to another term. The country was never in a more pros­ perous condition than it is today, and believing in that old saying "let good enough alone" our vote goes to William Howard Taft and the entire ticket. flONCEK KID J#£Ptl PALMES PASSES AWAY AT. AGE OF EIGHTY-THREE YEARS. Joseph Palmes, pioneer , resident of Johnsburgh and one of the first settlers in this vicinity, passed away at his late home in Johnsburgh last Sunday afternoon following four weeks' illn caused thru a general breakdown and bought on thru his advanced years. The deceased was a native of Ger­ many, having been born in Trier on February 2, 1829. Had he lived uutil February 2 of next year he would have been eighty-four years of age. He came to this country about a half century ago. He first settled in Wis­ consin, where he lived about two years. He,was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Smith at Newport, Wis., fifty-two years ago. Soon after his marriage he moved to McHenry where he resided about six months. From here he moved to Johnsburgh, which place he has made his abode continu­ ously for four-six years. He was the father of eight children, seven of whom are living and with an aged mother share the loss of their departed husband and father. The living children are as follows: Mrs. Henry Meyers and Mrs. John Niesen of this place, Mrs. Herfry Mentzer of Woodstock, Mi's. Thos. Riley of Chi­ cago, Martin Palmes of Harvard, Mrs. John Swadish of Kenosha, \Vis., and Mathias I'almes of Marengo. Mr. Paliues was a man of wide ac­ quaintance aud esteemed by all who knew him. 11*', like other pioneers of his day, went thru all the hardships that confronted the early settlers of this vicinity and thru his industry won his earthly battle. The funeral was held from St. John's Catholic church at Johnsburgh at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning of thisi week, Rev. Fid. Berthold officiating. Interment was in the oemetery ad­ joining the church. \CARB OK THANKS We, the undersigned, wish in this manner to thank the many kind neigh­ bors and friends for their assistance and help during our recent sad be­ reavement.

Cross was in Rockford visiting his children and representing Crystal Lake as a delegate, at the Illi­ nois State association of the aifti- saloon league meeting there Wednes­ day and Thursday of last week. This association is laying its lines carefully and well. Its slogan for the present campaign is "County Option." On Thursday afternoon Mr. Cross was in attendance at the meeting of the Rock- ford District Woman's Foreign Mis­ sionary society h«ld at the Court street M. E. church. Thursday evening he was attendant at the Rockford town­ ship Sunday school convention, whioh was held at the First Presbyterian ohurch in Rockford. Friday he spent at Peoatonlca at the Winnebago coun­ ty Sunday school convention. This was a very Interesting meeting of the association and especially to Mr. Cross. Pecatonica was the nearest railroad point and the market town of the ross family fifty-nine years ago and to this point Mr. Cross used in those days to haul the grain from the farm, some four miles distant. A brother of Mr. Cross taught school in Pecatonica in 1854. Mr. Cross himself attended a county teachers' convention here aud received his third certificate to teach in the public schools in 1857, and a younger brother was city attorney of the place in the seventies. Mr. Crow became a resident of Winnebago coun­ ty in 1856, received his first license to teach in 1857 and has been pastor in the county for twelve years, returning as pastor to the church at Winnebago forty years after they gave him his first license to preach. #*, A CORRECTION. We erred last week when we stated that the St. Patrick's church fair came to a close on Wednesday night. The doings cloaed on the following night and the event proved one of the biggest successes ever undertaken by the parishioners of that church. Rev. D. Lehane, the pastor, is a hard work­ er and his popularity in the village no doubt assisted in swelling the attend­ ance each night. RECOVERING FROM OPERATION. Louis Block, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Block of this village, who recently underwent a very serious operation for appendicitis at Sherman hospital at Elgin and who for a time was not expected to live, is now on the gain and will be brought home this week.

The W aukegan federation ©( women's clubs has set out to beautify Wauke- gan's factory district. A $20,000 farm fire occurred near Genoa Junction, Wisconsin, one morn­ ing recently. Andrew Kull is the laser. A report has been circulated thru- out Lake county that the race track •at Libcrtyville •has been leased or sold to race promo%rs. Fifty sea gulls were shot by hunters at Waukegan last Sunday. Now the citizens of that city are protesting t^e shooting of these birds. For the first time on record the store­ keepers of Wilmot, Wis., were obliged to go out of town for butter tcf supply Uie local demand last week. The corner stone of the new First Methodist Episcopal church at Liber­ ty ville was*laid last Saturday after­ noon. The new edifice will cost $25,000. *The bft7iaar,given by the parishioners of the Immaculate Conception church at Waukojjan closed last Saturday night and according to reports from that city over $3,000 was cleared. Ed. Reed ot Gurnee, Lake county, had his elbow broken while cleaning the blower of a corn shredder that he was operating on Monday of last week This is the first accident of the kind to be reported in this vicinity this fall. A benefit baseball and football game was played av the fair grounds in Woodstock last Sunday, the proceeds going to Allie Wicks, who a short time ago lost an arm by the accidental discharge of a shot gun he was hand­ ling. A $100,000 corporation was formed at Waukegan last Saturday and will build a factory either at Waukegan or North Chicago next spriqg. The new industry is for the manufacture of re- enforced cement shingles and will em­ ploy 200 men. Edward Brown of Round Lake has just installed a Seeburg electric or­ chestrion. This instrument includes piano, snare drum, bass drum, triangle, mandolin, set of flute pipes, set of violin pipes and produces beautiful and artistic effects. While performing his regular morn­ ing duties of cleaning up an electrical apparatus at the Barrington station of the Public Service company, Oliver Moorhouse experienced the sensation of having 2,300 volts of electricity pass thru his body without serious injury to himself. The new passenger ooach for the Palatine, Lake Zurich & Wauconda railroad has been placed into commis­ sion and made its initial trip between Palatine and Lake Zurich on Sunday, October 20. Freight is also being hauled over the new road as far as Lake Zurich. The people of Wau- oonda are more than anxious to have the road completed to their village this fall. Willie Stewart, the seventeen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stewart of Lake Catherine, met with a very serious injury one day recently while out bunting with his brother, Frank. The two had been to Grass lake and on returning had got as far as Lake Catherine when Willie placed the gun across his knees and stooped over to reach for a box of cartridges that were in the bottom of the boat. His move­ ment in some way discharged the weapon and the full charge entered his left leg. The knee joint was literally shot to pieces and the lower part of the leg was badly mangled. Harvard Herald: About $6,100 rep­ resented the total realised from a pub­ lic sale of the* personal property of the bankrupt Atlas Belting oompany held in this city on Tuesday. Buyers were present from Chicago/ Cleveland and other eastern cities and the personal effects brought fair prices, according to the buyers. The equity in the bank­ rupt concern in the way of the build­ ing and pite was bid in at a nominal figure. Stockholders and subscribers to the capital stock stand to lose every cent they invested ih the concern, which, from recent developments, it is fair to say was in anything hut a satis­ factory financial condition when it came to Harvard. Bankers expect to he circulating an entirely new kind of paper «aouey with­ in a short time. Secretary of the Treas­ ury McVeagh has recently announced that there is to he a radical change in the "greenback" currency. Paper bills are to be made much smaller and the design will probably be different. The present $5 bill--as well as other bills--is 3 by 71 inches. It is plapncd to out this down to about 2i by 6* inches. In view of the fact that there is no act regulating the sise of paper currency, it seems likely that there should be nothing in the way of the proposed change. That sutb a new sized bill for all denominations would be desirable is the opinion of many besides the secretary of the treasury, and, in fact, the declaration of the latter comes largely as the result of agitation of bankers and others inti­ mately interested in the question. * ' ' SCHOOL NOTES BOTAMY CLASS TAKES UP STUDY OF JCO- OLOGY. Sentimentality is a sure sign of a broken heart. Hon. Ed. Bonslett has a new name, it is "Collect." The plane geometry class was given a test this week.

Athletic constitutions have been printed and presented to the members of the association. Several of the boys in high school have expressed their-desire to take up mechanical drawing. Esther Stoffel has shown considerable ability as an automobile demonstrator lately, especially last Sunday. Esther Sattem, Myrtle Huck, Flori- bel Bassett, Florence Welch and Har­ old Palmes were visitors this week. Current events were discussed this week by Lucile Hutson, Ethel Harri­ son, Esthel Stoffel and Edwin Heimer. The boys' te&m was practicing ,in full blaze Tuesday evening before Prof. Nye. In his opinion they are a bunch of "champs." The botany class was given a test Friday. It will now take up the study of zoology and resume the study of botany in the spring. Ed. Bolger has unexpectedly fallen heir to 33c in Chinese money. He figures on getting a hair cut for one- half of it and donating the rest to an old bachelors' sanitarium.
