Several meetings have been held by parishioners of the church, at which the Several committees were appointed to take charge of the event.

Good time promised. f The "movies" at the Central opera house Wednesday, Saturday and Sun­ day evertugs. Adv A PLEASED AUDIENCE. One of the most satisfied audiences that ever left the Central opera house left that amusement resort last Sunday night after the performance of "The Circus Girl" as presented bv the Flora DeVoss company. Each and every character acted his and her part out to perfection and we dare say that a bet­ ter balanced company never appeared in McHenry. Miss Flora DeVoss as Amy, the Circus Girl, received a hand from the audience right froin the off­ set of the play and her clever interpre­ tation of the part entitled her to all the applause she received. Miss De­ Voss is growing better each season and with the capable people that sur­ round her is placed among the top notchers of the repertoire companies now traveling. A FIRE SCARE. A fire which started in the basement of the Prof. F. M. Goodman home on Monday afternoon for a time threat­ ened to destroy the place and had it not been for the heroic work of Mr. Goodman and the prompt assistance that answered to the alarm, as given over the telephone, the beautiful coun­ try home would now be in ruins. Mr. Goodman, who was fighting the blaze alone up to the time that help arrived, was quite severely burned about the arms. The blaze was checked before much damage was done, altho things looked very serious for t tine. LY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF OUR MANY EXCHANGES. ITEMS IN CONDENSED FEOFLE. ASSORTMENT ENSED FORJI FOR BUSY The infantile paralysis scare is over at Lake Geneva. Citizens of Whitewater, Wis., are picking ripe red raspberries. A switch has been put in at Lake Zurich on the Wauconda division and ties and rails are now pointing toward Wauconda. Hog cholera has caused a loss of between $25,000 and $40,tXX) to farmers near DeKalb, according to Dr. Clark M. Weese, who has been attending to many of the sick hogs. From twelve rows of potatoes seven rods long, James Walsh, H ni l land farmer, has obtained a potato yield of 57 bushels, w hich is hard to equal, much less excel, we are sure. The Lake Villa Trust and Savings bank of Lake Villa was opeued to the public about a week ago. Mi-. George Mitchell, formerly of the First National bank of Chicago, is the cashier. The receipts of the football and base­ ball games and the dance given for the benelit of Allie Wicks, the young Woodstock tuan who recently had his wrist shot accidentally, netted him $121.45 and $197,50, respectively. The big garage of the Manley Hard­ ware company at Harvard was ruined by fire early Tuesday inoruing of last week and fourteen automobiles were consumed in the blaze, the total loss being estimated at $17,000. There w as only $1,000 insurance. Alexander Smith, one of the most famous dog fanciers and breeders in the world, was instantly killed Tues­ day evening of last week when his buggy, which he was driving at break­ neck speed, collided with another and he was thrown out, breaking his neck. One day last week M. W. Merry of Hebron lost the index finger of his left hand by getting it caught in the cogs of a corn binder that he was operat­ ing. "Mel" was obliged to take his jackknife and separate himself from the finger which was smashed com­ pletely. A $20,000 farm fire occurred on tlje fftrm of Andrew Kull, northeast of Richmond one day recently. The barn contained, besides large quantities of hay and grain, three years' wool crop, on which there was no insurance. The entire loss is only partially covered by insurance. Lake Bluff orphanage profited $1,000 thru the recent tag day in Chicago, the Lake county institution being one of the charities to which the fund was devoted. This is the last time the orphanage will get money in this way, however, because Mayor Harrison has tabooed future tag days in the city. J. S. Dorsey, seventeen-year-old sun of James Dorsey, the Gilberts stock dealer, who has been working for his father for several years, made his first big purchases as a stock buyer la^t week. He purchased 104 head of cat­ tle at the Waterman sale, Holsteins, ranging in price froiu $50 to $112.50. He also bought 35 head of registered bulls at the Hawthorne farm at Har­ rington. A majority of the stock of the Crys­ tal Lake bank has been purchased by members uf the Hoy family at Wood­ stock, the bank has been reorganized and Fremont Hoy has been elected president, with his son, Clareuoe, as vice president and Lynn W. Richards cashier. The bank has a capital of $25,000 and $14,000 of this sum has passed into the ownership of Mr. Hoy and his son, so its affairs will be direct­ ed largely as they determine. John S. Fields of Chicago purchased Jerry, the world's champion Guernsey grade cow, at the fancy dairy show being held in Chieago this week. Jerry's total for 1911 was: Number of pounds milk, 15,744; per ceutage of butter, 4-<i3, and fat, 729-87. This was the best record ever made by a grade +cow. She will be shipped to the Knickerbocker farm at Crystal Lake to add to the already tine herd of Guern­ seys, of which the genial proprietor, M. A. Stewart, is justly proud. Mr. and Mrs. Stkwart are now living in the mansion o» the farm. Mrs. Scott liurand, Chicago society- woman and owner of the Crabtree farm near Lake Bluff, has just com­ pleted her little Normandy village. All the barns for cattle as well as the house have been constructed along the line of the village in Normandy, where Mrs. Durand was traveling some few months ago. The villages are made up of little houses and cattle barns, all of the same type. And so the farm, commonly known as Crabtree farm, has been made into a miniature village, with everything the same as in a small town across the water. Everything on the farm works for one common end- sanitation and comfort. The manure and sewage is disposed of by tiles that take all the waste into catch basins and wells for that purpose. The floors are kept scrubbed clean and no cob­ webs are permitted to collect. Under these conditions Mrs. Durand expects to bring out the best breeds of Guern­ seys, which she Is fee* experimenting. m mm wm mm WII+ APPEAR IN FIRjST NUMBER OF EN­ TERTAINMENT COURSE. The first number of the McHenry Industrial association's entertainment course will take place at the Central opera house on next Tuesday evening, November 12. The first number of the course will be the English opera singers. Mr. Flora, who is at the head of this com­ pany, has succeeded in organizing a company that seems very "near the ideal in its aims and attainments. The phenomenally high tenor of Mr Flora and the exceptional range of the soprano, Mife Simpson, as well as the disposition and training of these i wo art.isUs add brilliancy to pro­ gram. There is a sympathetic quality to the tones of Miss Hirt which adds musical color, while the rich baritone of M r. Lombard seems to form exactly the right combination for an ideal pro­ gram. The company is thoroly endorsed as one that is sure to till the requirements of lyceum and chantauqua committees and audiences. The increasing demand for musical attractions of both genuine artistic ability as well as a certain degree of spectacular interest, has at once placed the English 0|iera company among the mdst sought after chautauqua attrac­ tions. The excellence of their pro­ grams is based primarily u|K>n the quality of the voices of its personnel- voices of much more than ordinary range, well cultivated and carefully coached in the style of programs they render. Their programs embrace scenes from the popular operas, in costume; scenes from the grand operas, in cos­ tume; gypsy scenes, sailor scenes, se­ lections from the oratorios, sacred selections, etc. We believe the aim of this attraction is exactly in line with the present-day demand from committees and audiences everywhere. If you are not in the possession of a season ticket you had better buy one without further delay as this year's course gives promise of terminating into the very best ever brought to Mc­ Henry. Adv SCHOOL NOTES HIGH SCHOOL STRAW BALLOT FAVORS ROOSEVELT. Miss Howe is asrain teaching in room four. An athletic meeting' was held Moo day afternoon. The American history class was given a test Thursday. The orange and black caps have put in their appearances for the season. Current events were discussed this week by Lelah Claxton, Leon Dodge, Elsie Wolff and Letah Page. As a part of their work in English the juniors and seniors will deliver short orations before the high school. P. Ixtdtz, Loren Martin and Leon Dodge were given the privilege of supplying the zoology class with speci­ mens uf earth worms. The results of a straw election held in high school Tuesday were as follows: Roosevelt, 11; Wilson, 7; Taft, 0; De- neen, 1; Dunne, 8; Funk, 9. The election of Wilson caused *'Shrimps" to revive from his attack of the "blues" and the old time grin to spread over his countenance. The following were visitors this week; Marguerite Knox, James Over­ ton, Walter Conway, Joseph Sutton, Agnes Dodge, Robert Knox, John Bol- ger, Edwin Brefeld and Sam Rasmus- sen. ^ BUYS OUT PARTNER. Osten & Wollar, the West Side shoe merchants, have dissolved partnership and the business is now owned and con­ ducted by Mr. Wollar. The change was made last week and since the first of the month the business has been conducted by Mr. Wollar. Messrs. Osten & Wollar came to McHenry the first of the year and since that time have been conducting a first-class shoe house in the Schnorr block on the West Side. After an existence of sev­ eral months the two gentlemen came to the conclusion that there was not enough in the business to support the two, but quite enough to warrant a good living for one man, the result being that*Mr. Osten has stepped out and the entire business is turned over to Mr. Wollar. The former has been a shoe salesman for a number of years and it is more than likely that he will again go back on the road. METHODIST MOTES.

DEMOCRATIC IgKET WHS fl'HENRY PRECINCT GIVES WILSON 208 VOTES OVER FOUR HUNDRED VOTES ARE CAST HERE THOS. GRAHAM GIVEN flUTVOXE IN McHENRY. Tuesday, November 5, 1912, will go down in history as one of the biggest ever for the Democrats of the United States. It was on this day that their candidate, Hon. Wood row Wilson, was elected to the highest office that this country has to bestow, viz., president of the United States. The McHenry precinct went Demo­ cratic by a handsome majority. In this precinct 427 votes were cast, while 181 voters cast their ballot at the Ringwood precinct. Of the 427 votes cast in the McHenry precinct there were 135 straight Democratic tickets, 69 straight Progressive and 45 straight Repu bl ican. At Ringwood the straigh t tickets were divided as follows: Re­ publican, 25; Dempcratic, 58; Progres­ sive, 10. Four years ago, with William How­ ard Taft and William Jennings Bryan at the head of the Republican and Democratic tickets, McHenry gave Taft a majority of 52 votes, while Ringwood gave Bryan a lead of 12 votes. The voting in McHenry and at Ring- wood started early ur^d the judges and clerks were kept quite busy thruout the day. Thos. Graham of Ingleside, Lake county, Democratic candidate for rep­ resentative, was given a big vote in both the McHenry and Ringwood pre­ cincts. Here in McHenry he was given a total of 0ti7 votes, which plain­ ly shows that not only the voters of his party but many Republicans gave him their votes. The big Democratic vote here in McHenry came as a surprise to all. Altho it was oonceded by those who follow local politics closely that the McHenry precinct would go Demo­ cratic this year, nobody looked for the large majority in favor of the Demo­ crats. As will be seen by the vote be­ low Wilson received five more votes in the McHenry precinct than Roose­ velt and Taft combined. The vote of last Tuesday plainly shows that the majority (it our people were dissatisfied with Taft's adminis­ tration and as a result Wilson was the man chosen to bring about a change Haw N«P*ht V»t»i FOR PRESIDENT.

Copley has again been returned to office by a very fa­ vorable majority. Roosevelt carried McHenry county by five or six hundred votes, which plainly demonstrates that the pro­ gressive spirit is quite prevalent in this county. Charles S. Deneen for governor carried the county by only 46 votes, while Funk ran a close second and Dunne third. For members of the general assem­ bly in this, the eighth district, Fayette S. Munro of Highland Park was high man with Edward D. Shurtleff second. The fight lies between James H. Vick­ ers of Harvard and Thos. E. Graham the latter two named gentlemen Is very close and at the time of going to presp it looks Hke Vickers will win. For state's attorney the present in­ cumbent, David R. Joslyn of Wood­ stock, yon out over J. E. Barber bet­ ter than two to one, the winner carry­ ing all except a few precincts in the county. The vote between these two candidates was as follows: Joslyn, 3853; Barber, 1756. For clerk of the circuit court Theodore Hamer again won out, he receiving 3574 votes, while his opponent, Frank Tappan, is cred­ ited with 1675. 'STARS" HAVE JOLLY TDK WORK LAST MONDAY EVENING WAS FOL­ LOWED BY CAFETERIA SUPPER. "The night before election" for the year 1912 will be happily remembered by the members of McHenry chapter, No. 547, O. E. S., and their guests for the evening, for all present certainly did enjoy themselves. The guests came up after the close of the regular work and after a little visiting a straw ballot was taken. For once, at least, a few of the ladies of McHenry had a chance to show their preference for a presidential candidate. "Teddy" carried away the victory up there, getting twenty-two votes out of something over thirty. In the meantime the committee in charge of the big event of the evening was arranging the "spread," which was served on the cafeteria plan at a penny per. Perhaps Boston baked beans, brown bread, salads, sandwich­ es, doughnuts, cheese, pickles and olives do not look very tempting in type, but the ladies knew their busi­ ness and things surely did look good on that long, prettily decorated table-- and were so good that many came back for more. Evpn at a cent per helping, plates ran from fifteen to twenty cents and the treasury received a neat little sum. When ther supper was over Mr. Schnabel pleased the gathering with several musical selections, after which a couple of "stunts" helped, by the aid of the laughter they produced, to aid digestion. In fact, the first should do away with pills for a week, for it certainly was fun for the on-lookers. Three men and three ladies (the win­ ner is the only one we will give away) were treated to a lump of sugar, with­ out having to pay for it. But the sugar had a long string tied to it, and all they were really given was the end Of the string, in their mouths, with their, hands behind their backs, and they had to chew string before they got the sugar. Some work? Well, it certainly was some fun, but the win­ ner, Mr. Ott, munched away as steadily and sedately as a bossy cow, and even tho someone caught his lump and started him all over again he won out before some of the others had fairly gotten a good start. Another stunt that produced more laughs than whistles was entered into by everyone. The trick was to see who could whistle first after eating a soda cracker and Mrs. J. C. Holly suc­ ceeded in telling Sammy his mother wanted him first. G. A. Sattem, the auctioneer, proved he "knew beans" "sight and unseen," or else realised he was working for a good cause, for he made a pan of beans in its newspaper wrapping bring in 82.15, each raise costing the bidders only five cents and the buyer getting it for his five cent bid--plus a few pre­ vious ones. It was nearly midnight when the fun was over and good nights were said. ADDITIONAL PERSONALS. E. Thomas was a Chicago visitor Tuesday. Theo. Schiessle was a Chicago visit­ or Wednesday. J. W.

It is hard for the general public to understand that a newspaper's columns are its merchandise, just the same as the gro­ cer's sugar is his. Persons who would never think of going into a store and picking up five cents' worth and walk­ ing off without paying, very often ex­ pect us to donate a dollar's worth ?f space or give extra oopies of The dealer free.
