Justen, son of Mr/fmd Mrs. N. J. Justen, who is connected with ths Denver Gas and Electric Light Co., writes us a very interesting letter and, in view of the' fact that our people have been given the "use of gas, the in­ formation contained in his letter to us will make interesting reading matter for the readers of The Plaindealer. The letter follows: ' Looking over McHenry's and West McHenry's list of business houses, res­ idences, factories, trades, etc., gives the following list as to where ga3 may be utilized at a greater ltd vantage than coal, steam, gasoline, coal oil, etc.: Residences, automobile, bicycle and tin shops, bakeries, confectionery, bar­ ber shops, billiard parlors &ad cigar stores, blacksmith shops, brewers and .bottling establishments, builders and contractors, butchers, carpenters and cabinet makers, _ carriage and wagon builders, chemists, churches, halls and amusement pavilions, cigar factories, tobacco dealers, cleaners and dyers, clothing, drug stores, express and rail, way offices, banks, stores, corporations, etc., florists, surgeons, physicians and dentists, hotels, restaurants, clubs, cafes and saloons, watchmakers and jewelry stores, laundries, newspapers and printing offices, photographic gal­ leries, tailors and hatters and miscel­ laneous. • , •> Industrial fuel gas will undoubtedly apply to many of the above mentioned places, all of which goes to show the saving of labor and turning out of bet­ ter work by adopting1 these modern aids, to business convenience and econ­ omy. The large number of fuel gas Appliances on the market is in itself strong evidence of the superiority of gas to other fuels. The ease with which US heat may be applied to the exact place and with the exact intens­ ity required compared with the uneven distribution of heat and fluctuations of temperature obtained with other fuels makes gas an ideal fuel. Where gas is used there is cleanliness, no coal or ashes to handle and consequently dust and dirt is eliminated. On the domestic end we have the gas range and water heater. Points in favor of both are economy, time sav­ ing, reliability, cleanliness, conven­ ience, superiority, comfort*giving, mis­ cellaneous. Lack of space will not allow going into details. Hoping each and every resident will take advantage of the usefulness of gas in homes, business houses, factories, I Ml, l? • *• v"'̂ ' • •' Respectfully ̂ >' PETER M.

Last week he was at Harvard, where he appeared at a local theatre. The young man, who is making the 4,000 mile walk pushing a wheelbarrow as he goes, is a violin­ ist of some note. He plays at theaters along his route of journey in drder to obtain means with which to carry out his purpose of walking 4,000 miles within one year. From Harvard he went to Walworth, Wis., and from there he will take in the towns of Lake Geneva, Richmond, McHenry and from this village south thru Elgin to Chicago. Just how soon he will arrive in this village depends upon the number of engagements he bar to fill between Harvard and McHenry. He remained in Harvard a whole week. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Miss Leone Perkins is confined to her home with la grippe. Little Merlin Hutson is rather sick and will likely be shut in a few days. We believe, however, that the call of spring will be too strong for shut- ins to resist very long. Sunday school, 10:00 a. m.; public worship, 11:00 a. m.; Junior league, 2:30; Epwortti league, 8:00. We are pleased to notice some who have been shut in for the winter com­ ing out with the warm spring days. We sincerely hope that others will now be able to come. F. A. SHIPLEY, Pastor.

Editor John Blanck of Waueonda is now serving that village as its post­ master. The city of Harvard has passed an ordinance which prohibits the building of fires on her paved streeta. The Waueonda school wascloe^d last week on account of the prevalence of diphtheria east of that village.' Seven candidates took the fourth class postmastership examination at Woodstock on Saturday, April 18. The "blind pig" at Solon is a thing of the past. The closing of this resort has brought joy to some and gloom to others. State's Attorney Dady of Lake coun­ ty has announced that he will clean up the blind pigs in the Fox Lake terri­ tory immediately. The> house and barn on the J. C. Mc­ Carthy farm in Hart!and were destroyed by fire one morning last week. The loss is estimated at $8,000. The dates for the annual Lake coun­ ty fair as given out by the officers and board of directors of the Lake County Agricultural board are Aug. 18 to 21. Charles F. Pasdeloup, a former well known Chicago politician and who for the past eight years has made his home at Fox Lake, recently passed away at that place. Harry Larsdn, a brakeman, was held up and robbed of a valuable gold watch and $02 in money at Rondout, Lake county, one night laM.'week, -/^e thug escaped. t Thirteen Jewish merchants of Aurora were arrested last Friday on charges of violating the Sunday store closing law. They have appealed their oases to the appellate court. Luman T. Hoy of Woodstock, who during the past eight years has served as United States marshal, has resigned his position and his successor, a Chica­ go man, has been appointed. The hotel at Lake Villa, one of the most prominent of the early day sum' mer resorts, was burned to the ground a short time ago. The hotel was owned by the Lehman estate in Chica- fiTO* The village attorney at DesPlaines was arrested last week on a charge of falsifying records. The action is part of general charges of fraud made after a decision by the village to spend 185,000 in paving. Friends of Wesley Qrr, a Richmond young man who is serving a three years' sentence at the Joliet prison on a charge of horse stealing, are seeking his parole. He has served a trifle over a year of his sentence. The "drys" of the town of Richmond have taken the necessary steps to con test Richmond's recent local option election. Fraudulent voting is the ground on which the "drys" base their protest. The case will in all probabil­ ity be heMd at Woodstock'.'tkeitt Mon day. Marengo boosters, numbering about 100 and including the city's band, made visits to Woodstock, Harvard and other county towns on Wednesday of last week. The boosters were out adver­ tising a big Dollar Bargain day which was instituted by the business men of that city. Burglars broke into the poetoffice, depot and general store of John ^Karls at Spring one night list week. The intruders didn't get anything at the two first darned places, while their labors were rewarded at the Karls store to the extent of about $2.00 In small change. A regular city newtabqf vIsitecTHar­ vard one afternoon last week. After unloading a large number of "war ex­ tra*," which contained no later infor­ mation than was to be found in the morning papers, the lad returned to the city with a neat bunch erf "velvet." He disposed of the papers at five cents per copy. The uniting of North Crystal Lake and Crystal Lake makes Crystal Lake the third largest city in McHenry county. The population of the place is considerably over 2000. The consol­ idation will undoubtedly mean the making of a city out of the village. A city charter will undpubtedly be ap­ plied for at once. Mrs. Louise Nelson, aged "forty-five years, who resided on a farm about five miles south of Barrington, hung herself in the corn crib early Wednes­ day morning of last week. Poor health is given as the cause of her act. She leaves a husband and four children, ranging in age tram thirtptto to twpi*- ty«one years. Mayor Hull of North Crystal Lake has been assured by Chicago & North­ western officials that a new depot will be built there the coming summer. Work on the new structure will begin some time in- June. The depot will occupy a site a short distance west of the present structure and will be mod­ ern in every detail. The old building will most likely be used as a freight •cMEMRY SHOULD OBSERVE TME BAY IN PROPER MASHER • j. With Decoration day hut a month away it is up to the people of McHenry to get active at once if the day is to be properly observed in this village and we can see no reason why we should not do this. During the past few years Decora­ tion day has not received the attention that it is entitled to here in McHenry and {it .really seems a shame that we should not give at least two hours of this day to do honor to the living and dead heroes of our country. j Up until four or. five years ago Mc­ Henry always took an active part in Decoration day services and cere­ monies, but in late years it seems as if most of us have utterly stripped our­ selves of that patriotic feeling that should fill the heart of every true American citizen. The Plaindealev sincerely believes that the (lame of love for our heroes is still maintained in the hearts of all our citizens and that everyone is will­ ing to join in making Decoration day in McHenry a fitting tribute to those who have assisted in making this the great and noble country it is today. W% further believe that the time is ripe for us to start the ball a-rolllng for an old-time observance of the day in McHenry. The Pjaindealer would indeed be glad to heir from others this matter.

WILL GIVE VOCAL LESSONS Victor Liska, a vocal instructor of prominence, is forming a class in Mc­ Henry and will make weekly visits to MISS MARY MARTHA SCHREINER AND MR. JOSEPH W. ROTHERMEL ARE UNITED IN MARRIAGE A romance and courtship which dates back to the school days of the happy pair was culminated in the marriage of Miss Mary Martha Schreiner and Mr. Joseph W. Rothermel at St. Mary's Catholic church here at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week, Rev. A. Royer, pastor of the church, being the officiating clergy man. The simple ring ceremony was used and was witnessed by a large number of relatives and friends of the young couple. The couple had but two at­ tendants, the bride being attended by her sister, Susie, of Elgin, while Mathias Rothermel of Kenosha, Wis., brother to the groom, attended the bridegroom. The bride never looked prettier than on this happy occasion. She was be­ comingly gowned in a suit of blue and wore a hat to match. In her hand she carried a white prayer book. The bridesmaid wore a suit of tan and a hat to matoh. She oatried white and pink carnations. After the words had been spoken that made the two man and wife, high mass was celebrated. After the church services the couple, together with the members of the two families and a few intimate friends, gathered at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. Al. Krause, where a re­ ception followed. Many were the gifts received by them thruout the day, gifts that had been extended them by admiring rela­ tives and friends, v The bride is the second youngest daughter of Mrs. Christina Schreiner. She was born and grew to womanhood in this village, where she is favorably known to nearly our entire populace. She has always been active among the younger set in this village; especially active was she1 when it came to church duties. Being a member of St. Mary's church and choir, as well as the Y oung Ladies' Sodality, she was ever ready to lend her assistance in a charitable MAN PEBTAINING TO OUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION is now permanently located at Wood­ stock, where he is choir director and organist at St. Mary's church.

During the past eight years she has made her home with Dr. and Mrs. D. G. Wells. The bridegroom is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs, George W. Rother­ mel, highly respected citizens of this village. Like the bride, he also has made his home here since birth. He is a young man of many good qualities, whose standing in the community has always been of the very highest char­ acter. He is employed at the Everett Hunter boat factory here, where he has been during the past six years. The couple will go to housekeeping in the Frank Rothermel house on W a t e r s t r e e t , w h i c h i s a l r e a d y f u r nished and ready for immediate occu­ pancy.

VILLAGE COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS VILLAGE DADS MEET IN ANNUAL SESS­ ION FRIDAY EVENING T|y a Plaiodeaier for »ale adT% ORGANIZE CEMETERY ASSOCIATION Members of St. Patrick's Catholic church here have organized a Ceme­ tery association for the purpose of keeping their cemetery in the condi­ tion that it deserves. Altho the mem­ bers of that church were never organ­ ized before, a wonderful improvement has come over their city of the dead during the past two years. The asso­ ciation members are workers and the members of the church may rest as­ sured that with the co-operation of every lot owner the cemetery will soon be placed among the neatest kept burial grounds to be found anywhere. William J. Welch is superintendent of the organization, while M. J. Walsh is the secretary and treasurer. The as­ sociation is now mailing out letters to every lot owner, asking for his or her support in this inattei aud we feel safe in stating that the desired cooperation will be forthcoming. REGARDING LEGAL NOTICES We notice in the county seat papers of late a number of legal notices which rightfully belong to The Plaindealer. The Plaindealer prints legal notices and our rates are no higher than those of the county seat papers. We will surely consider it a great favor if our subscribers, especially those residing in McHenry and vicinity, will in the future instruct their attorney to have legal matter sent to The Plaindealer. REMODELING BUILDING Carpenters are now at work on the Gus E. Schoel building in Centerville. The second floor of the place, which is now occupied by the McHenry Pleas­ ure club, will be transformed into liv­ ing apartments, which will be occu­ pied by the owner's family. A room will also be provided for the use of the club, which for so many years has oc­ cupied the quarters. UNIVERSAUST CHURCH Regular services next Sunday.

Among the very latest to come to the surface Is to the effect that the Blue Laws are to be enforced in the village. Next. n Herman Kamholx, a former MpQen-; ry boy, was last week re-elected as one of Cary's aldermen. Mr. Kamholx is employed at the Borden factory ia that village, where he has been engaged during the past several years.

F. A. Holly, son of Mrs. Nizzie Holly of this village, was at the same time elected as one of the trus­ tees of the board of education. Mc-? Henry friends extend congratnlatiooa.
