My;":£ot#rifc:'Petersofa^4Sste^lle, la., passtd away at the home of her niece, Mrs. Fred Schneider, here early last Wednesday morning. Mrs. Peterson left her Iowa home about five weeks ago and during the week previous to her death she visited among relatives in McHenry and vi­ cinity. She came to McHenry from Libertyville, where she had been the guest of relatives. While Mrs. Peterson had not been strong during the past several years, her end was not looked for at this time. The evening before her death she appeared to be in the best of spirits. Shortly after the evening meal on Tuesday she went out for a short auto mobile ride and soon after returning from the trip, which she seemed to en­ joy to the fullest extent, sj>e com­ plained of not feeling well. Mrs. Schneider, knowing that-she was sub­ ject to severe spells caused from defect of the heart, at once called Dr. Wells, who passed several hours with the woman, but to no avail. She passed away at 3:30 o'clock the following morning. Mrs. Peterson was the third mem­ ber of the family to pass the darkened shore, her husband and one son pre­ ceding hor. All, three died while away from home. Her husband passed away at Colfax,' la., on .January 27, 1905, whence he had gone to regaiQl his. health. The oldest son, Lewis, was killed in a railroad accident, his death occurring on Novembers, 1902. The deceased's two sons, Clem and Fracjk, arrived in McHenry on Thurs­ day'evening and the following morn­ ing accompanied tlie body to Ester- ville, la., where the funeral took place from St. Joseph'8 Catholic church on Saturday morning. Miss Gertrude Miller was born at Mayen, II. B. Cohlens, Prussia, on January 18, 1851. At the age of four­ teen she came to America with her family. The family first settled at Jolinsburgh, where they made their home with a brother of the decease^, Henry Miller. The subject of this sketch gfew to womanhood at Jolinsburgh and the immediate vicinity and at the a^e of twenty-three she was united in mar­ riage to Lorenz Petersort, the wedding having taken place at Gross Point, 111., near Chicago. , For two years after her marriage she made Gross Point her home, after which she with her husband moved to Esterville, la., where she continued to make her home up to the time of her death. There are left to survive her six children, two sisters and one brother, as follows: Clem, Frank, Charles, Ernst, Joseph and Bessie, all of Ester­ ville,. Ia.; the sisters are Mrs. Simon vVeingart of Vol^ and Mrs. Peter Leickem of Kenosha, Wis., Henry Miller of this village being the only living brother. The deceased was a woman of many good qualities, which had won for her the highest esteem from all who knew her. She was a devout Catholic woman and her many friends in McHenry and vicinity extend their heartfelt sympa­ thy to the members of the bereaved family. CARD OP THANKS.

The members of the Pistakee Young Ladies' Yacht club will give a dramatic entertainment at the pavilion at Pis­ takee Bay next Saturday night, which promises to surpass anything of the kind ever undertaken at that popular resort. Those who are to take part in the entertainment have been rehears­ ing for some time past and it is safe to say that the young ladies of the club have one big surprise in store for those who turn out. Their past efforts in this direction have always met with signal success and a record-breaking crowd is looked for at the club next Saturday night.

Preparations for the big oarnival to be pulled off at Stilling's summer re­ sort, Pistakee Bay, August 6 to 10, are already well under way and from re­ ports from Pistakee the event promises to be the biggest of its kind ever at­ tempted in the summer resort region. Landlord Thompson of Stilling'6 resort has been in Chicago during the past few days' purchasing oups and other prizes to be awarded the winners of the different races during the carnival. The list Of events, which will be mostly in the form of watersports, will include tub races, canoe races, row boat races, yacht races and motor boat races. The yacht and row boat races will be held under the auspices of the Pistakee Yacht clfib. On Saturday, Augusts, the Fathers' Yacht club race will be pulled off, while on Sunday morning at ten o'clock and again in the afternoon at one o'clock the power boat raceB will take place.

WHEKLKR, Secy. See.Miap DeVoaAs "The Queen of Queer Street," Central opera house, Sunday nighw The gas prospects McHenry are beginning to look brighter every day and from reliable authority we are told that the Western United Gas and Elec­ tric company, of which our congress­ man, the Hon, I. C. Copley, is at the head, will ask the village board, at their next regulij^ meeting, to grant that company a franchise in this Til­ lage. * Attorney William E. Perce of Elgin was sent to this village last w<*ek as a representative of the' gas company and before leaving again informed a Fiain dealer reporter that, it is now up to the property owners and village council to decide whether or not McHenry would get the gas. The company, it is said, is willing to lay their mains into the village and provide our people with gas providing the property owners of the village will grant them the right to do so and the village will give a franchise. As far as we are able to learn, the franchise, so far as the village board is concerned, will be granted without delay. The village is' now being can­ vassed for the purpose Of getting the property owners to sign paj»ers giving the gas company the right to lay the gas mains along the streets of the vil­ lage. Thus far the papers are being read­ ily signed up. Like all oilier matte re of the sort, a few v who have been ap­ proached have failed to place their John Henrys to the documents* for the reason that they want a little more time to consider and thoroly look iuto the proposition. That all will 6ign up within the next week is the prediction of The Plaindealer. The next regular meeting of the" village board takes place on Monday evening, August 4. The "board at that meeting will be asked to take action on the urdidance granting the gas com­ pany a fifty year franchise in the vil­ lage of McHenry. From present in­ dications the ordinance will be passed at that meeting. In view of the fact that the g*s com­ pany is very desirous Of having the franchise granted at the next meeting, it looks like the company intends to start the work of extending their mains to this village at once. Lgt everyone encourage the good work. TKRKA COTTA. Mrs. S ten beck was a recent.Elgin visitor. Miss Theresa Conway is visiting rel­ atives here. Harold Knox is visiting relatives at Holcombvilje.

JUST AS POPULAR AS EVER The Flora DeVoss Dramatic company appeared at the Central opera house in "The Girl From Out Yonder" last Sunday evening. A packed house was present to greet the players and ap­ plaud their good work. Miss DeVoss appeared in the title role and proved herself just as popular as ever. The patrons of the Central were indeed glad to see Miss DeVoss with the com­ pany and her presence elicited many favorable comments from (hosp who witnessed the performance. We be­ lieve that the company of last Sirfid&y evening was the'strongest that Mr. Rotnour, the owner and mshager of the show, ever brought to McHenry. The cast was an exceptionally strong one and very well balanced, while the specialties as introduced between acts were better than the popular priced attractions usually give their audiences. The company may look for a big house on ever} visit to McHenry. " Now is a good time to get your ex* hibits ready for the great McHenry oounty fair. MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OP NEW8 ITEMS Ol CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE. The yonng men of Harrington have organized a band of twenty-five pieces. The corner stone for Lake Zujych's new $7,500 public school was laid .last week. William Rosing of Round Lake has announced himself as a candidate for ihc office of county treasurer of Lake county. T. A. Reynolds, veteran proprietor of the Rochester Clothing company at Gray slake, is selling out his stock of goods aud will retire from business life. - • The city of Waukegan has dreams of its first skyscraper In the form of a five-story business block, which may be erected in the heart of that city soon. Collapse of the electric light tower on the academy grounds last week has caused the Elgin commissioners to de­ cide to have the three remaining towers removed at an early date. Miss Clara Dorweiler of Chicago lost her life in Bangs lake, at Waueonda, a week ago last Sunday. She was out on the lake' in a row boat with her lover when in some manner the boat was upset. The young man saved his life by clinging to the boat. Miss Dor­ weiler never came to the surface after falling into the water. John W. Strike, telegraph operator at the St. Paul depot, Rondout., Lake county, was arrested by Waukegan officers early last Friday morning. He is charged with an act of white slavery. He was arrested at his home at Lib- bertyville at about five o'clock in the morning, his wife falling into a faint when the officers took him away. The patrons of the farmers' tele­ phone lines in and around Graysiake have united and incorporated' under the npe of the Avon Telephone com­ pany, with a capital stock of $52,000, divided into shares of $10 each. It is the intention, of the new company to rebuild and place into first-class work­ ing order the old telephone line that has been owned and conducted by the farmers and others in that section. C. M. McFarlane, a farmer residing on the road between Graysiake and Round Lake, has set out to make a boulevard out of the roads along his farm. He has already engaged men and teams to grade and otherwise fix up the roads at his place and has al­ ready placed an order for 200 carloads of gravel to be used in finishing up the job. All he asks of his township is that they spread the gravel when it- arrives. M'HENRY PASTOR RESIGNS TO ACCEPT LARGER CHURCH M NEW MEXICO ENGLISH MISSION MATMIEUS AT JOHNSBURGH Frank Mathieu, after' playing all summer in the East, has just returned from Boston, Mass., and will spend a few weeks' vacation with us. He will Occupy the stage at Parish hall, Jolins­ burgh, next Sunday evening, where he will endeavor to entertain the people with his clever work of. juggling and magic. The patrons of Parish ball will be offered one of the most finished juggling and magic turns ever seen at that place. This clever young man ranks with the top-notchers in the art of jugglery.- His feats are so marvel­ ous and accomplished with such ease -SOME ACT"^ JUGGLING MATHIEUS ' U * ^NOVELTY , - •ENTERTAINERS rv Rev. E. A. Roberts, who since last fall has been in charge of the M. E. church here, submitted his resignation last week and will preach "his farewell sermon on next Sunday morning. Since his appointment to the Mc Henry charge, Mr. Roberts has brought about a wonderful change. The mem bership of the church has been more than doubled, many improvements On the building have been made and all of the churoh activities greatly stimu­ lated. In accepting the new charge he goes to one of the most healthful climates of the Rocky mountains, and while his many friends in McHenry, espe­ cially his own flock, greatly regret his leaving and have made attractive offers to retain him, but all in vain, their best wishes will follow him to his new field. Who will succeed Mr. Roberts is not known at this time. Thb members of the church are very desirous of having the charge filled immediately, as the interest that has been established since Mr. Roberts arrived in McHenry should not be allowed to die out. It is very possible that another young man will be engaged at once. The Hippodrome, the home of photo plays de luxe. Four reels, all for a dime. WIRELESS STATION "Bud" Heimer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Heimer, is given the distinc­ tion of being the first McHenry resi­ dent to install a wireless telegraph station. "Bud's" ambition has always leaned in this direction and his efforts should some day result in making him an -operator of fame. He is a bright young fellow, l»eing a member of the class of '14 of the McHenry high school, and spends much of his spare time in his wireless tower. The tower, twen ty-five feet in height, is located on the roof of the Northwestern hotel on the West Side. It is the work of the young man's own brains and hands and to say the least is perfect in every detail. While the station is of a miniature de­ sign the young operator informs us that he is able to receive a message from a distance of sixty-five miles, but is capable of sending messages for short distances only, say ten to fifteen miles. Now that McHenry has its first wireless station, the work of the high school boy may be taken up by some ambitious ydungsters in neighboring towns and with a chain of stations of this sort McHenry county towns would be able to communicate w^th one an other via the wireless route.

The principal feature of this attraction is the speed with which Mr. Mathieu accomplishes his various feats, and so accurate is he that he has been known to go four weeks without missing a trick. Special mention should also be made of Mrs. Mathieu, who has retired from the stage, but who will assist Mr. Mathieu for this special occasion only. She contributes materi­ ally to the success of the act. Don't forget, the Mathieus will appear with­ out fail at Parish hall, Johnsburgh, next Sunday evening, July 27. Admis­ sion? 25c and 35c. DR.

Miss De­ Voss is with the company in person and will present next Sunday evening Miss DeVoss' own play, "The Queen of Queer Street." Miss DeVoss will appear in the title role and a char­ acter of her own creation. She will be seen in the strongest character that she has ever attempted, a character which gives her an excellent oppor­ tunity to show her versatility as a comedienne. Her rendition of "The Girl From Out Yonder" last Sunday evening was unique, not overdrawn and the company well balanced. She will be assisted in "The Queen of Queer Street" by the same-competent cast. Extra vaudeville will be intro­ duced between acts by "Wilson and Wilson," J. W. Bayley, Happy Allen, Miss Etta DeVoto and J. Coulthard. The usual popular prices- will prevail, with the advance sale of tickets now selling. Telephone orders accepted. R. N. A.
