MEDICAL HEN MEET HERE GATHER AT RIVERSIDE JOUSE SUM- MY *• CNJOY CHICKEN DINNER AND BOLD VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS SESSION BRING THEIR WIVES The annual social meeting of the Mc­ Henry County Medical society was held at the Riverside House here last Sun- day. After a chicken dinner, at which altout twentv-flve were present, the meeting was called to order at 2:00 p. m., with the president, Dr. H. D. Hull, in the chair. Present were Dra. Fegers, Hull, Guy, West, Seelye, Fur­ long, Foster, Stattler, Pllueger and Smith. . • The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved as read. The recent communications from the officers of the St ate Medical society were read by the secretary. In regard to the matter of death cer­ tificates, the secretary read the motion of the meei ing of May 27, in which the undertakers were to be asked to fill out all of the blanks except the part relating to the cause of death (this to be tilled out by the attending physician) and for the undertaker to forwaTQ the completed certificate toSpringlield and collect the fee of 26c from the treas­ urer of McHenry county. The secre­ tary announced that, while the county clerk and treasurer of this county have endeavored to co-operate with our so­ ciety in this matter, they have finally decided that they are unable to do otherwise than to turn the fee over to the physicians, as required by statute; and that we must amend our original motion accordingly. It was therefore moved by the member, who made the original motion, that we amend the same, so that each doctor settle per­ sonally with the undertaker, at the time he signs .the certificate. Motion seconded and carried.' The treasurer stated that owing to an old printing bill of 1910-11, that the printers had neglected to send in until this summer, and which has now been paid, the treasury is now depleted and some bills are still outstanding. It was moved and 'carried that an assess­ ment of $1.00 per member be made to meet this deficiency and to help carry on the work of the society. This amount was paid at once by each of those present, and is expected soon from all other members. A lengthy discussion of fees and of our fee-bills was then held. Consider­ able misunderstanding seemed to pre­ vail as to the proper basis on which to charge for obstetric cases in the coun­ try. It was accordingly moved that as our fee-bill reads "obstetric cases, $15.00 cash, minimum," that this be in­ terpreted as meaning normal cases in town, including one after call; and that for normal cases out of town there be added to this mileage tit -the rate of 50c per mile for the case and also for the after call. ' Motion seconded and carried. It was further the opinion of all present that in the matter of country calls each physician ought, and must en­ deavor more than ever, to hold up to the rate of $1.50 per call and 50c per mile at any and all distances; and that where in any community or neighborhood there seems to be a discrepancy be­ tween the charges made by doctors of different towns this ought, for their mutual welfare, to be settled between these different men in the best manner possible. It was moved and oarried that a copy of the proceedings of each meeting of the society be sent to every physician in the county. Adjournment was taken at 4:00 p. m. The next meeting is to be held at Crystal Lake in about one month; due and timely notice of this will be sent each physioian in the county.

FC * ~ MATTHEWS A very unique Halloween party was given by the members of the Social Cinch club on Monday evening, Oct. 20, at the h<npe of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Matthews. Invitations were sent out on Satur­ day last, reading in this way: '•Attend, attend, friends, lend an ear. The witches are back, they'll all come here. They bui ied them deep, but they're with us still. On 'All Saints" eve, when the winds blow chill, They'll meet you here at the hour of eight. Come hear queer tilings and learn your fate." Of course these were in the form: of Jack-o'-lanterns and everyone was on time, you may be sure. The house was decorated with cats, bats, owls and witches and as we opened the front door we were confronted with black hands, pointing a finger upstairs and a sign reading, "Ladies follow the black hand," so we tan upstairs, to find suits awaiting us, and of course each lady dressed herself in haste. And while the ladles were thus engaged, the gen­ tlemen were also busy and when once more we came down into the parlor we were horrified to find our husbands all arrayed in sheets and masks and in one corner stood a stretcher, on which was a ghost laid out for burial, while all around stood our husbands. But no one could tind her Own, so a merry dance to the witches, to the music of a Victrola, then began. No one was al­ lowed to speak al>ove a whisper until time for dinner, which was at 9 o'clock. When we were all seated at the table Mr. Schnabel came in with his camera and took a flash light picture of the dining room. The dinner consisted of four courses of witches' eatables, and, to say the least, was a grand success, even if it was served by a witch. The place cards were ornamented with cats and bats, and a little folder at each plate gave the menu in witches' dia­ lect. After supper a series of card games was played, resulting in Mrs. Mat­ thews winning first and Mr. Ott the consolation. After this came the for­ tune telling, which was enjoyed im­ mensely. Ice cream and spook cakes (with hideous faces upon them) were then brought in. After this came a marshmallow roast and as this closed the evening's entertainment we went to our various homes, for it was in the wee, sma' hours. All declared they had spent a very pleasant evening. THE Bits EV£NT Everyone is looking forward to one big event of the season,-the 'Just Us" club dance, vrhich is to be held at Stoffel's hall next Saturday evening, October 25. The members of the club have won for themselves an unap­ proachable reputation as entertainers and those- who turn out on this occa­ sion can rest assured of excellent treat­ ment at the hands of the young ladies of McHenry. Walsh's Chicago orches­ tra, which has grown popular among dancers here, will be on hand with all the latest and most popular musical selections. Dance tickets will be sold at 75 cents; spectators' tickets, 25cents. .Music at 8:30. A cordial invitation is extended to all. FAREWELL FOR NEIGHBOR The members of the Fox River Val­ ley camp of Royal Neighbors tendered their sister member, Mrs. Fred Mat­ thews, a farewell party at Woodman hall on Tuesday evening of this week. The social event took place imme­ diately after the business session of the regular meeting of that body and proved a highly enjoyable occasion for all present. The Matthews family ex­ pects to move to Lake Geneva, Wis., at a near future date. TiiE SOCIAL CINCH CLUB Mr. and Mrs. William Spencer en­ tertained the members of the Social Cinch club at their pleasant home on Waukegan street on Friday evening of last week. Progressive cinch was the game played, the honors going to Mrs. G. C. Bosmo, who wen the first, prize, and W. D. Wentworth the booby. The usual refreshments were served. The occasion proved a very enjoyable one for all present.

He found a few dairies in an unsanitary condition and 'tis said the owners of same were asked to go to Chicago and explain themselves. The Grayslake Times states that Henry Spencer, the confessed slayer of Mrs. Rexroat, worked at a local fac­ tory for a short time last summer. While at Grayslake he always re­ mained by himself and did not asso­ ciate with anyone. From Grayslake he went to Round Lake and from there to Fox Lake. The new addition to the Weiland Dairy company plant at Spring Grove is fast nearing completion. The new addition will not only double the capac­ ity of the plant, but will make it more modern as well. The structure, which formerly was but one story high, is now a two story building. The lower floor will be used for bottling, while the second story will be utilized for pasteurizing purposes and chemical department. Richmond Gazette: Mrs. Anton Schaefer of Spring Grove sustained a fracture to her left arm in an auto accident last Sunday afternoon while enjoying a ride with her husband and two year old son, Anton. The accident took place just east of Spring Grove and resulted from Mr. Schaefer losing control of the machine, which ran into a ditch at the side of the road. The occupants were thrown from the car and all were injured more or less. Mrs. Sohaefer sustained a fracture of the left arm near the wrist, Mr. Schaefer received injuries to his back, while the little boy was stunned by the force of the fall and sustained other hurts, from the effects of which he has not yet fully recovered. The new railroad out of Palatine) the Wauconda, Palatine and Lake Zurich, carried the first aeroplane ever shipped over its lines last week. The aircraft was consigned to the Hartway aeroplane camp at Wauconda in order to exploit a new type of aeroplane which it is claimed will fly not only in the air, but on the water, and will travel overland as well. The Hartway company, which has its headquarters in Chicago, declares that the new ma­ chine marks the dawn of a new epoch in aviation. The concern asserts that not only will the aeroplane of the fu­ ture be one which can be usqd on the water and in the air, but on land as well. The Hartway machine is de­ clared to combine three machines in one. The Hartway company books ex­ hibition flights and has taken up the new aeroplane as a side line. It has a corps of experienced aviators at Wauconda and a number of demonstra­ tions have been given. The new type of aeroplane is said to have proved the claims of itarinventors in all of its tests. Many of the curious have been attracted to Wauconda since the found­ ing of the Hartway camp and the new machine presents a variety of interest­ ing features to the on-looker, .. ; 1 ^ UMIVERSAUST CHUROt Services will be held1 in the Univer- salist church Sunday morning, Nov. 2, at 11 o'clock.

ANNUAL FAIR MEETING THE NET PROCEEDS OF LAST FAIR WAS $79SJtS The annual-meeting ol the McHenry county agricultural board was held at the court house in Woodstock last Sat­ urday, Oct. 18, 1913. The reports of the treasurer, secre­ tary and superintendents were read and approved. Following are the figures from t!|e secretary's report of receipts and ex- penditures for the 1913 fair: Cash receipts as reported by treasurer $6676.97 Receipts from rents, etc., 246.40 Amount due from state........ 1723.00 Entry fees and deductions 1716.50 Total receipts Expenditures: Advertising and printing.. Labor, police and help .... Kxpert judges 1 Amusements General expenses Speed expenses ..." Insurance Salaries, officers & supts... Speed purses Premiums ....$10362.87 ...,$ 606.13 635.45 .... 49.20 .... 490.30 .... 653.04 .... 135.75 . . 192.50 .... 536.00 2300.00 .... 3746.25 Total expenditures $9566.62 Receipts over expenditures $ 796.25 Secretary Hamer concluded his re­ port with the following suggestions: "I would further report that I believe that the fair is on the way to financial recovery if the same policy in regard to having a night carnival is pursued in the future. While the net showing is not what it ought to be, there were a number of items of expense, which in. the aggregate amount to several hundred dollars, which can, be elim­ inated in the future. I also believe that by m&king a contract with a car­ nival company early in the season a much more advantageous bargain can be made for the fair. We established a precedent for a carnival company and there is no doubt but our experience in dealing with such a concern cost us considerable money, nevertheless, I feel that the attempt was well worth it and, if pursued along the same lines, will surely mean success for the future. As will be seen- by the above state­ ment, our share of*state money amounts to $1723.00, which I am informed we will not. he able to get until the state taxes are collected in the spring. This will necessitate issuing due bills for that amount, payable in the spring. We also have made provision for pay­ ing due bills payable December 1. To figure out these matters and try to sat­ isfy all has been a great task of figur­ ing. We have taken care of and paid all labor and general expense bills and paid a large number of the small ex­ hibitors and have asked those whom we owe larger amounts to wait until we are able to pay." The present officers, especially the secretary, stated positively that they would not again hold their offices, but there was no one who seemed to be willing to-take up the burden of run­ ning the fair, and after much persua­ sion all of the old officers consented to try it another year. The following officers and executive committee were thereupon elected: President, Ben Throop, vice president, John M. Walkup; secretary, Theo. Hamer; treasurer, John M. Hoy; gen­ eral superintendent, Dr. W. W. Lich- ty; executive committee: Garrett Fitz­ gerald, Alden; D. W. Thomas, Algon­ quin; George Richardson, Burton; L. O. Diggins, Chemung; C. H. Ocoek, Coral; F. G. Green, Dorr; George Gay, Dunham; John Hawley, Grafton; Bert Thomas, Greenwood; M. M. Wakeley, Hartland; H. G. Street, Hebron; C. H. Stephenson, McHenry; W. H. Pres- cott, Marengo; Harry Herrendeen, Nunda; H. H. Barber, Riley; C. W. Col ton, Seneca. It was moved, seconded and carried that the president, secretary and treas­ urer have absolute control of all "ex­ penditures for the fair. It was moved, seconded and carried that the fair for 1914 be held the last week in August as heretofore. After a general, discussion the-meet­ ing adjourned. THANKSGIVING DANCE We wish in this public manner to announce that a dancing party will be held at Stoffel's hall on Thursday even­ ing, Nov. 27, for the benefit of the Mc­ Henry baseball club.
