RoWtt Wassmann, the majgffetan; with bis wife, will make up the next number of the McHenry entertain­ ment course and will appear at the Central opera house ̂ next Tuesday evening, ApriM. Mr. Robert Wassmtuln's popularity among the members of Ais own profes- sipn is shown in his having recently beem elected "Eminent Wizard" of the world's master magicians. M r. Wassmann has studied and prac* ticed his art from childhood, and pre­ vious to hk» entering upon lyceum aad Chautauqua work was iA SO great de­ mand in Chicago and suburbs for en­ tertainments in clubs, lodges, societies, churches and private homes that for a number of years he gave an average of one hundred and fifty engagements each year. ' ^ Mr. Wassmann JMA only presents the best, of the standard act#, such as the great, trunk mystery, win eh many claim he does with greater cleverness than any other magician, who has ever attempted it, but. he also includes in his program a number of. illusions of his own invention. Added to his skill in magic is a most charming personality and ability to entertain by comic dialogue. His ready wit and the friendly relations which he immediately establishes with his audience help to make him pne of the most jHjpulaHmagicians ^>n the lyceum and chautauqua platform.. Mrs. Robert Wassmann is a most important factor in the cQinpany.t In fact, so clever is her part in' the en­ tertainment that she is never thought of as a mere "assistant," but is Entitled to a most generous share of the credit for the success of this tine attraction. Not only is she a woman of most win­ ning personality,' but she lias made thoro preparation for her work. A number of yeas-s ago sh^ afenifiied Miv Wassmann in one of his entertainments and they were both so delighted with her aptness^ that she took up the study of magic and in a short time became unusually proficient. ̂ Indeed there are few magicians who equal Mrs. Wass­ mann in her t horo preparation and en­ thusiasm inlthe art of. mystery. - DOES If HENRY WANT GAS?! ™° BALL , .WEHLY EXCHANGE FIDS FCOfttiK ISKCO TO MQK tn$ QUESTION WEFTE RUM HERE A WEEK UOUIT ^Wti BAYURDAir See ESLER for every thing electrical. SUNDAY MARS STORN WAS TtK MOST SEVERE THAT EVElfV»- ITED THIS SECTION "a?, f. The 'people of tlffS^ village and sur­ rounding country were given a slight, idea of what a real hurricane i^-like on Sunday night last, when one of the most severe wind storms that has ever visited this section visited us. The first warning of the storm that, did so mueh damage in Indiana and Ohio came shortly after midnight, when many of our people. were awak­ ened by the thunderous roaring of a mighty wind. At about one o'clock the wind had reached its greatest velocity and be­ fore it was over manjr of our citizens were up and dressed, ready at any moment to leave their homes. Out in the country, we are told, a number of families had already entered the cellars of their homes and so grave did it look in some sections that it was feared homes would be demolished. As it was, the storm did considerable damage to many smaller buildings in and around McHenry. West of town a number of barns and pther out build­ ings were moved several feet from their foundations, while in one or two oases buildings were. completely w recked An, The greatest damage was done on the C. I. Allendorf farm, the Thomas farm, John Boyle plaoe and Schiller's at McCollum's Lake. •Besides this, in some sections trees were torn up by their'roots, barn doors were torn from their hinges and .parts of roofs were' carried a considerable distance. However, the people of this vicinity have every reason to - be ih&ftkful in escaping the storm as fortunately as they did. Some of dur older residents declare that it was the worst wind storm that has ever visited these parts.; X7 -~ . - •• ----- ADVERTISED LETTElp, Letters remaining unclaimed in the McHenry, III., postofflce for the week ended March 22: Mr. James Rol>son Fenske Bros.

This is a question that will be put to them fairly and squarely and *41 re­ mains entirely with'us whether or not the mains will be extended to this vil­ lage. , As stated in previous isKtues of The Plaindealer, some of our Citizens have taken it u|>on themselves to use tlveir influence in getting Congressman Cop­ ley interested in McHenry sufficiently to induce him t« extend his com­ pany's gas mains to this village. In answer to letters written to the congressman, , Mr. Copley assured our I>eople t hat the g;is pro[»osiiion in Mc­ Henry would be giyen due attention by the company he represents. Now that spring is here- the citizens of this village are again talkiug gas and are wondering wether or not the mains will be exteuded to this Village. Mr. Copley has as much-as promised us tl»at the mains would be extended to l itis village provided a sufficient amount of business could be; assured him by the McHenry people to pay the com­ pany to make the extension. A few of our citizens have gotten to­ gether of late ;ind discussed the gas question from air angles. They seem" to be of the opinion that gas could be made a paying proposition here and a little effort on our part, they de­ clare, will induce the gas company to ootne to this village. Just to give Congressman Copley an idea of the amount of business that could be obtained here two petitions have been gotten up and are now ready for signatures. These ipetitions may be found at the two banks and those wiio are willing to use the gas if it is brought to this village should go to either#one of the banks and sign their names to the pa|>ers. The signing of the petitions will not obligate you in any manner. They are merely gotten up to ascertain the num­ ber of patrons that could be obtained here. ' Now that/ the gasoline is going up right along the jieople must look for­ ward to something cheaper and less dangerous. If we are eorrectiy ia formed the gas would be considerably cheaper than gasoline, more conven­ ient and better in every way. In other cities and villages where the gas has been piped in the patrons are more than satisfied and would not. go back to gasoline for anything. Those who have interested them­ selves sufficiently to get the t^ro peti tions up tell UR that the gas question will be settled this spring and it all depends upon the number of Signers whether or not McHenry will get this added convenience. If you are in favor of gas and expect, to be one of the consumers go sign, the petition. l>o not delay. Every day counts from now on. It is the inten­ tion to get as many signers as possible and then forward the pet.iti6ns to Con­ gressman Copley. Mr. Copley's com­ pany can t hen decide whether or not it will pay t hein to extend thetf mains. - The mains are now laid as far north as Crystal Lake and frooa that village they are extended to Woodstock. It is only a matter of eight miles and The Plaindealer sincerely hopes that all of our citizens who waqt gas will help the cause along by signing one of the two petit ions.

Adv TALKING FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION For the first time in many years the Fourth of July celebration question is being agitated in McHenry. The ques­ tion coming up at this time leads us t,o believe that our business men and citi­ zens really want a celebration this year and from the remarks that have already been o\^"iiealB by the writer we would say that old McHenry is act­ ually coming into its own and will cel­ ebrate the nation's birthday in a man­ ner that will make oj,her towns about us sit up and take uotice. This is the time to talk celebration and in order to do the tiling up properly it is none too early to start the ball a-rolling. A meeting may be called in the near future.

Martin, besides doing his part in holding the visitors, also contributed a tiekl throw. At center Anderson of McHenry made things mighty interest- est for the members of the opposing team, especially so for the man he was playing against. His playing will be more clearly understood when we say that the captain of the, visiting tearti ordered one of his players to'"hang on to that lanky center." At forward Nickels and Bonslett played their usual snappy game, the former securing two and the latter five baskets. The feature of the evening was Bonslett's accurate shooting of free goals, he getting nine out of the ten opportunities offered him.

The Dentists are made up of a speedy bunch of players and 'tis said they have many victories to their cred­ it as a result of their season's work. The locals appeared here a couple of weeks ago and those who saw the game at that time are aware of their playing ability. Ttye game will be called at 8:15 and everyone is cordially invited to be present. Admission to game, 25 Cents. After the game a social dance will take place at Stoffel's hall, to which all are invited. Danc­ ing will begin at 9:30 and an admission fee of 50 cents will be made.
