The t>ody had evidently been in the water for a week or longer. Cards bearing the name of Jensen were found in the man's clothes and Coroner Taylor called up the telephone number given on the cards and in talking with Mrs. Jensen learned that her husband had been absent for the past week. The coroner's jury found that the man had come to his death by drowning. It is thought that Jensen attended the convention1 of the Retail Liquor Deal­ ers' association at Fox Lake and that he was drowned at that time. He was fortyrfive years of age. Inquiry at the home of Ben Jensen developed the fact that he had been worrying over financial troubles and that he had been in poor health since injuries received in an automobile accident a year ago. Jensen leaves a widow and three chil­ dren, Alice, Lillian and Theodore. The latter are between the ages of three and eight years.

WILL BE THE AT­ TRACTION All arrangements for the holding of an entertainment course in McHenry this fall and winter have now been completed and the first number, that of the Old Kentucky Jubilee quartet, will take plac$ at the Central opera house on this (Thursday) evening. Some time ago a young woman can­ vassed the village for the purpose of determining whether or not a sufficient number of seasou tickets could be dis­ posed of to warrant a series of enter­ tainments of this sort in McHenry this fall and winter. After spending a few days in the vil­ lage, the young lady in question re­ ported to a committee of business men that the required numbed of tickets had been sold and arrangements were at once made for the course. The committee representing the bus­ iness men was composed of L. F. Block and Rev. D. Lehane, and since Mr. Block has left the village the burden of managing the course falls* upon the shoulders of our estimable townsman, Rev. Lehane. To make the burden just as light as possible for the worthy father, The Plaindealer suggests that everyone interested in the course extend him a helping hand wherever and whenever they can. Encourage the course and if you have a friend who has not al­ ready supplied himself or herself with a season ticket ask them to do so. Rev. Lehane will be pleased at any time to supply the demand in this respect. We also wish to say in' connection with the.course that all holders of season tickets should have them re­ served. The seats at the Central opera house, where these entertainments will be held, are all couponed and it is for this reason that every holder of a season ticket is requested to pick out a seat. The seat picked by the holder of a season ticket will hold good thru- out the five numbers. In other words, one will occupy the same seat at every performanee. This will do away with the seat confusion which has existed in past seasons and at the same time make it much easier for the ushers. Those who haven't picked their seats may do so at the box office at the theater tonight. The opening number of this -season's course gives promise of being a good one. The Kentucky Jubilee quartet not only sing, but piay well. This makes the attraction one of double value, as the program that they pre­ sent is of great variety, including vocal quartets and solos, humorous mono­ logues, string quartets, violin solos, string trios and quartet singing with string accompaniment. The songs of this company are large­ ly plantation and camp-meeting melo­ dies, and humorous selections, and in­ clude also some of the favorite songs of sentiment of the colored people, such as "Carry Me Back to Old Vir- ginny," "My Darling Nellie Gray," "Old Kentucky Home" and "Black Jim." One very commendable feature of the program of this company is that there are "no waits." They present from an hour and a half to an hour and three-quarters of music and fun, with probaby not a total of three minutes between numbers. •See ESLER for everything electrical. Expert house wiring, reasonable prices. BUYS HEBRON GROCERY Harry Lindsay, until recently em­ ployed with the A. T. & T. Co., has purchased the grocery stock of E. J. Watts at Hebron and expects to take possession of the place in the very near future. The deal whereby Mr. Lind­ say came into possession of the Hebron business was made last week and they have just finished taking inven­ tory. We are told that the Watte gro­ cery is one of the neatest and best in Hebron and we congratulate Harry on his good fortune. Mr. Lindsay is not a "green" hand at the business, as he grew up in the grocery store of his father in Marengo, la. He is a pro­ gressive young fellow and we feel safe in saying that the people of Hebron will, welcome him to their village. Success to you, Harry. THE SOCIAL WHEEL A very enjoyable afternoon was spent by the ladies of the Social Wheel at the pleasant home of Miss Alice Waite on Saturday last. A guessing contest and refreshments were the features of entertainment. On account of the Willing Workers' supper, which will take place Oct. 16, there will not be a meeting of the Social Wheel until the week following the supper. ( CHILD BORN WITH TEETH The little daughter born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hovat on Monday of last week undoubtedly holds the record for McHenry in one respect, at least, it having two fullv developed teeth at birth. This is a very unusual occur­ rence, one seldom recorded, and to our knowledge is the first one in McHenry. Let Vycital put in that new heating plant when jrou get ready. PRESENCE OF HIND SAVCB'YOUMG RAITS LIFE AT SPRING GROVE FACTORY William Stoffel, Jr., of this village owes his life to his presence of mind. Will, who is a mason by trade, was employed at the Weiland dairy plant at Spring Grove, where a new addition is being built. While at work last Saturday morn­ ing he was caught in a rapidly revolv­ ing shaft and before the machinery could be brought to a stop the youne man sustained a broken arm and a few minor bruises. That he was not killed remains a miracle. - t Will was working on * scaffold close to a large shaft, which extends thru the milk bottling plant. While thus at work his overall pocket caipc in contact with the revolving shaft, with the result that he was carried around the shaft at least eight or ten times before the machinery could be brought to a stop. The first time that he went around the shaft he struck his head against the ceiling of the building. After this he ducked every time he went around and in that manner undoubtedly saved his life. When the shaft finally was brought to a stop everyone thought that he was dead. It was necessary to cut his clothes from his back to extricate him from his perilous position. He was rushed to the local doctor at Spring Grove, where it was found that he had suffered a fracture of his right arm just above the wrist. * The fracture was set and the victim brought to his home here, where he is now recuperating. FAREWELL SURPRISE A very pleasant farewell surprise was "sprung" on Mrs. John Catlin by the members of the Royal Neighbor Thimble club last Sunday afternoon. The event took place at the home of Mrs. Catlin at Rosedale on Fox river. It had been carefully planned and to say the least it proved one complete surprise for the victim, who wasn't prepared in the least for the unexpect­ ed guests. However, she proved her­ self equal to the occasion by entertain­ ing her guests in a very enjoyable way. As a memento of the day the ladies presented their hostess with a beauti­ ful Royal Neighbor pennant. Mr. and Mrs. Catlin will soon move back to Elgin, where they have bought a little business near the watch factory. The best wishes of their many friends here will accompany them to the Watch City. Dainty refreshments furnished by the guests brought the jolly gath­ ering to a close. Right goods, right service, right prices at Petesch's. FAREWELL PARTY About forty of the relatives sad friends of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Block and family tendered them a farewell party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Felt/ last Sunday. The guests ar­ rived just before the noon hour. This brought them to the scene of activities just in time to partake of a bountiful repast which was served by Mrs. Feltz. One of the novel features of the happy occasion was that the din­ ner was served in the spacious base­ ment of the home, which presented a very pretty appearance, being taste­ fully decorated with autumn leaves and foliage. The afternoon was passed in social conversation and the many other minor events that go to m»ke up an occasion of this sort. Supper was served at the customary hour and after spending the early hours of the evening most pleasurably, the guests departed for their homes. The guests of honor received a number of pretty gifts which will ever remind them of their McHenry friendp. FIRE AT RIDGEFIELD Sunday night about seven o'clock a fire broke out in the general mer­ chandise store at Ridgefield. Mr. Whetstone and family, who owned the store, were at a theater in Woodstock, when they received word that their ho&e was burning. The Woodstock fire department was summoned and in a few minutes arrived at the scene of the fire, but the fire had too much headway to save the store building or the house next to it, which was occu­ pied by J. B. Lynch, station agent. Other buildings caught fire, but were successfully extinguished. The cause of the fire is thought to be a gas ex­ plosion, but nothing is certain about it. ENTERTAIN AT DINNER In honor of the wedding anniversary of their son, James N. Sayler, and wife, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Sayler entertained a company of fifteen at dinner last Sun­ day. It was also the birthday anni­ versary of their little nephew, Master Walter Besley, of Woodstock. Thus the dinner was in honor of both events. A delightful afternoon was passed by those present. KRS. HARGARET BOYLE Mrs. Margaret Boyle, one of our old­ est and most highly respected resi­ dents, passed away at the. home of her son, John Boyle, who resides a short distance west of town, at 9:30 o'clock last Sunday morning. The funeral was held from StJ'atrick's Catholic church at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning of this week. Obituary next week. Bonslett's new feed mill is now grind­ ing feed every day. WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS OF OUR MANY EXCHANGES. MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Work on Lake Geneva's sewer sys­ tem was started last week. Elgin has been experiencing day­ light robberies of down town stores of late. Forty divorce cases will be heard at tbe present term of the Lake county circuit court. Rural delivery will soon be inaugu­ rated from the Wauconda postoftice. Frank Bacon has been selected to handle the mail on route 1. ReV. N. A. Sunderlin, after a year's vacation, has re-entered the Methodist ministry. He will probably be as­ signed to the Capron charge. The Public Service company has leased a tract of land near the village of Grayslake, upon which the company expects to ereet a sub-station. A Chicago publishing company is seeking to locate at Dundee. The Merchants' association of that city is now in communication with the Chica­ go concern. Three "emergency" gas plants'at Elgin, LaGrange and Aurora are work­ ing night and day to make up for the reduced gas production as the result of the fire at the Joliet gas plant last Fri­ day. . The 'Lake county supervisor wants to see the prisoners put to work instead of pacing idly about the corridors of the jail. He will present his plan at the December meeting of the Lake county supervisors. Elgin has gone tango mad. The fever struck that city about a month ago and since then nearly everybody in the Watch city is doing it. It took Elgin a long time to catch the fever, but the folks down there are now mak­ ing up for lost time. State's Attorney D. R. Joslyn of Mc­ Henry county is asking the board of supervisors of the county for an appro­ priation to pay for an assistant in his office, where the volume of legal busi­ ness effecting the country and state is the largest ever known in the history of the state's attorney's office. Many of the pending cases are complicated. Two Italians were arrested in a freight car at Rondout one day re­ cently. The two men had taken pos­ session of a freight car and refused to leave it. When members of the freight crew sought to eject them from the car the foreigners went after the crew with razors. Detective Meyers of Waukegan happened along the scene about this time and arrested the two. Tne detective was forced to draw a revolver before the arrest could be made. They are now occupying cells in the Lake county jail. Harvard Herald: J. A. Sweeney, public administrator of McHenry coun­ ty, has his first Work since receiving the appointment from Governor Dunne. Mr. Sweeney's first public duties re­ late to Maziiner Makius and Ludvik Makius, brothers, who were killed while at work for Walter G. Hoy at Algonquin on July 15 of this year. The men were two of a corps of Ital­ ians engaged in sewer pipe digging and an embankment caved in on them while at work, smothering them to death. So far as known they have no relatives in Illinois, but it is incum­ bent on the public administrator to file papers in their estate, which lies largely in an action at law against Mr. Hoy, their employer, the right of action being to recover in a compen­ satory manner for alleged negligence that resulted in the men being killed. Pubiic Administrator Sweeney is rep­ resented in the papers filed in the pro­ bate court at Woodstock by E. H. Waite as attorney, the papers in the case being placed on record on Monday of this week. Harvard Herald: Miss Pearl Gor­ man, eighteen-year-old Chicago girl, was arrested last Thursday bf Sheriff Henderson at the farm home of Henry Jacobson, living south and east of Sharon. The arrest was made at the instance of the chief of police of Chi­ cago and the charge was for stealing diamonds in that city in a home where she had been employed. Sheriff Hen­ derson made diligent inquiry from nearly every person he could find in and about Harvard as to the farm on which Henry Jackson lived, the name Jackson being given him instead of Jacobson. Having a description of the girl and a fair idea of the supposed residence of Jackson, he was accom­ panied to the place by David Joslyn, Jr., and the information was obtained from a neighbor of Jacobson, who told of a young girl named Pearl being at the farm home. On entering the resi­ dence the sheriff readily recognized the girl from the pictures he had seen of her. Making the arrest he took her to Woodstock and thence to Chicago, where she is now in jail. DANCE AT STOFFELTS HALL The Just Us club announces a dance atStoffel's ballon Saturday evening, Oct. 25. "Just Us" and "Walsh's" always mean a good time. Further particulars next week. Bonslett will grind your feed in a hurry and do a good job. GASOLINE RECEPTACLE MUST BE TAINTED RED AND BE LABELED -GASOLINE" To all Mayors, Chiefs of Police and Chiefs of Fire Departments in Illinois: The forty-eighth general assembly passed an act prescribing a color and label for gasoline receptacles. Many serious accidents and a great many deaths are caused each year in this state thru people mistaking gasoline for kerosene. This law provides that all receptacles for holding gasoline shall be painted red and shall be labeled with the word "gasoline." It is made a misdemeanor, punishable by fine, for any retail dealer to sell gasoline to any person unless it is put into a red re­ ceptacle so marked "GASOLINE." I believe the attention of your local dealers should be called to this act, be­ cause I am convinced that should they sell gasoline to any customer and place it in a can not properly marked and of a red color they might be held for any accident which resulted from mistak­ ing this gasoline for some other fluid. They would also be liable to a fine un­ der the sections of this statute. The following is a verbatim copy of the bill: "For an Act prescribing a color and label for gasoline receptacles. "Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, repre­ sented in the General Assembly: That all receptacles for gasoline used in the retail trade shall be red, and shall be labeled 'gasoline' in letters of a con­ trasting color and of a height of not less than one-haif inch; and it shall be unlawful, in such retail trade or any­ thing pertaining thereto, to put gaso­ line into any receptacle Of any other color than red or not labeled as above required. "Section 2. Any person violating the foregoing section of this Act shall be subject to a fine of not less than ten dollars." E. F. DUNNE. J. J. Vycital is now prepared to do your plumbing.

ARE ENTERTAINED AT LAKE GENEVA Twelve of the members of the Thim­ ble club of Riverview camp of Royal Neighbors were guests of the Royal Needle society of Lake Geneva last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Elva Davis, on the lake shore. A reception committee met the guests at the train, the president of the society and oracle of the camp being conveyed to the home of the hostess in a carriage, while the others enjoyed the beautiful walk. An elegant buffet dinner was. served, after which progressive euchre was played, the McHenry ladies.carry­ ing off first honors. After the games the ladles visited «the city of Lake Geneva, where they were treated to ice cream and a program of moving pictures at the'Majestic theater, which was opened for their special benefit. Following this the beautiful Hotel Geneva was visited and photographs were taken at the fountain. And then came train time and the close of a de­ lightful day. The guests were taken to the depot, where all expressed their appreciation of the pleasant time ac­ corded them. Movies at the Central opera house Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. H. E CHURCH SERVICES Sunday school, 10:00; pleaching, 11:00; evening service, 7:45. The Dorcas society meets with Mrs. Esler Friday for an all day meeting.

PAINT YOUR GASOLINE CAM Attention is called to an article which appears elsewhere in this issue regai-d ing the new gasoline can law. The law requires that all gasoline cans must be painted red and lettered "gas­ oline." Retail merchants filling re­ ceptacles not complying with the law are subject to a heavy fine. McHenry wholesalers as well as retailers are re­ fusing to fill cans not properly painted and lettered. Everyone should read the article referred to.
