Freund of the town of McHenry, the supervisors of MfcHenry county, together with the members of their families and county officials, enjoyed a most pleasant out­ ing here on Thursday of last week. ; The visitors aVrived during the morning and shortly before the noon hour six excursion boats of the Hunter line carried the pleasure seekers up Fox river to Stilling's summer resort, where a bountiful repast was awaiting them. On their arrival at the Bay it was found that the p&rty^included just exactly 151. With dinner over the crowd gathered upon the beautiful, lawn surrounding the hotel, where_Judge Charles H. Donnelly of Woodstock addressed them in his usual pleasing manner. The judge in his talk praised the hotel pro­ prietors along Fox river and at the Bay for' the respectable manner in which'tliey carried on their places. The party again boarded the await­ ing boats and a trip was made thru Pistakee lake, Nippet*siok lake and thence into and around Fox lake. The ride surely was a treat to all and many were there, especially those residing in the western part of the cdunt.y, who had never before had the pleasure of riding on the waters of beautiful.Fox river and the lakes tributary. ^ ^ The visitors were lotid in tluijr praises for this summer resort region and now that our neighbors have formed an acquaintance with the beau­ ties that nature has provided for us we look for more frequent visits from them. The boats arrived here late ln the afternoon Mid disposed of thefr passen­ gers at the Riverside pietr. Most of the visitors came to McHenry by auto­ motive, which gave them a hit more time to enjoy the comforts and sights of the "Garden Spot of the -Central West." Come again, neighbors. You are welcome. A REAL CITY STOKE McHenry can now boast of one Of the best little country stores to be found anywhere. We refer to the general store of F. A. Bohlander on the West Side, which recently was enlarged to almost twice its former size. The store now has the appearance of the large city enterprise and we dare say that there isn't another mercantile establishment in the county that can surpass it*. The stock carried is of the largest tmd best to be found in any country village and for a long time the place has been recognized as the leading trading center of this vicinity. The place catei-s to regular customers coming from TerraCotta, Crystal Lake, Volo, Round Lake, Dighton, Johns- burgh, Solon, Ringwood, Richmond, {Spring Grove and Ostend, while it also receives a good share of the local pat- ronage. The store not only handles the largest stock of goods of any mer­ cantile establishment in this vicinity, but also prides itself on the assortment to be found in all departments at all times. We congratulate Mr. Bohlan­ der in giving McHenry a larger and better store than eVer and trust that the added investment will hrkig . fgr him ample returns. ' REV. A. ROYER LEAVES V Vsj Rev. A. Royer, the beloved pastor of St. Mary's Catholic ohurch here, left Tuesday morning for Chicago, where he expects to spend several weeks in quiet and rest. St. Mary's parish has grown rapidly within the past two or three years and the work has fallen so heavily upon the pastor that his health has been impaired. For some time past the' pastor has been awaiting the ' appointment of an assistant, but owing to the scarcity, of priests his wish was not granted until last week, when Rev. Karl Oesten- koetter, late of St. Joseph's parish, El­ gin, arrived here to relieve him. Rev. Royer's many friends in McHenry sin­ cerely trust that the much needed and well deserved rest will soon bring back to him iiis former good health and vigor and that he will again be able to take charge of the parish early in th<f (all.

Elsewhere in this ipsue of The Piain- dealer will be found an advertisement of the Hunter boat line, which tells you that excursions will be run to Wilmot, Wis., every Wednesday dur­ ing the balance of the summer season. The boat will leave the Riverside dock every Wednesday morning at nine o'clock and a charge of 85 cents will be made for the round trip. The trip to Wilmot, Wis., takes in Fox river and the entire chain of lakes, with beautiful scenery all the way. Bpl the advertisement. W. H. STEWART DEAD W. H. Stewart, an uncle t<PW. D. W^ntworth of this village, and who in the past few years has made several visits to this village, passed away at his late home at Athens, N. Y., last Saturday. ~ Thru his visits to this vil­ lage the deceased had become well and favorably known to a larg£ number of our people, who , stteyed. to i of his demlisfcNfcl1 ̂leant MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF .NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOB BUSY PEOPfcE, The population of Algooqn*n school district is 902. The village of Libcrtyville has in* vested in a lung motor. According to the census just, taken, Waukegan now claims a population of 17,000. v East Troy, Wis., claims the distinc­ tion of having the first automobile funeral procession. i.i " The village board of Crystal Lake is considering the1 advisability Of pur­ chasing an auto fire truck. Thirty thousand cases of Early June peas were put up at the Hampshire canning factory this season. The Early June ^ run completes about one- third of the season's run. • Plans for the celebration of the fif­ tieth anniversary of the founding of the Illinois Iron and Bolt company are now under way. The event will take place at Carpentersville some time in September. A new addition, costing $18,000, is to be built to the Union school at Crystal Lake. The new addition will contain a gymnasium and auditorium seating about 500 people. A new heating sys­ tem, costing $3,965, is also to be in­ stalled. < The C. F. Hall Go. of Dundee, whose business house was recently wiped out by fire, will soon be ready to re-open for business in that city. We are told that they have purchased a store in that city and will be opened up for busi­ ness at a near future date. The village board of Richmond now has but four aldermen, two of her offi­ cials having moved out of the village during the past month. Unless an­ other vacancy occurs the board will try to.get along with the four members until the regular spring election next year. Turtles ire more numerous than ever along Fox >iver this year. A farmer residing near Algonqpin re­ ports that a turtle from the Fox had recently visited his fai m yard and was just about to carry.away one of his chickens when discovered by the own­ er of the farm. The village of Hebron has hired a motor cop." It will be the new offi­ cer's duty to see that the village and state laws regarding the operation df motorcycles and automobiles are lived up to in every respect. No doubt fre­ quent arrests will be made in that vil lage from now on. The saloon building at Solon was burned to the ground one afternoon last week. The origin of the fire is unknown. A "blind pig" was con ducted in the place during the past few years, but the place was closed after last spring's election. George Vogel owned the place and it's a safe bet that it will not be rebuilt. " Dr. A. B. Smith of Woodstock met with a very serious accident while driving on the Woodstock-Hebron road. He was running at a fast rate when he suddenly struck a rut in the road. The sudden jolt made him lose control of the car, with the result that the ma­ chine turned turtle in a ditch beside the road. The doctor was thrown out with great force and in the fall he re­ ceived, besides numerous bod/bruises, three broken ribs and a fracture of the leg at the ankle. •The new glass-bottomed boat was destroyed by fire at Lake Geneva, Wis., one night recently. The boat, which was built by the Weckler Boat com­ pany of Chicago, was delivered at Lake Geneva about two weeks ago and three days after being launched the craft was destroyed. The boat was owned by Walter Beach, the pop­ ular Chicago & North Western brake- man, and a man by the name of Schroe- der. The boat represented an outlay of $2,500. The loss is a severe blow to the two young men, as they carried no insurance. There is a misunderstanding among many voters in the county who voted for Roosevelt at the last presidential election and who want to vote in the coming Republican primaries, their belief being that they are barred from voting for Republican candidates in the September primaries and at the fall election. No person is disqualified because he voted for Theodore Roose­ velt from voting in thet Republican primaries this year, for the reason that that there was no Progressive party at the last presidential primaries. Algonquin correspondent to Crystal Lake Herald: Algonquin was host to a descendant of the old Algonquin tribe of Indians July 4, when Geo. Raymond with his wife and daughter of Canada paid a visit here to John W and rack • Mr. Wand rack shhwed the guests the many places of intesest about town and relics of Indian days, which greatly interested the guests, yiio were loud in praise of the n&turof beauties in the locality. Mr. Raymond states that there are only fifteen of the Algonquin tribe remaining {it the present time, who make their homes in Canada. If there ever was a grand comedy SUNHER RESORT COMMOBORE'S BALL AT PISTAKEft WAS A BIQ 8UCC8S8 The hotels along tfcfe river and afc Pistakee Bay again did a big business on Saturday and Sunday. Summer reporters along the river and at the Bay are'entertaining an unusually targe crowd' of guests this week. .The water in Fox river and the lakes is unusually . high for this time of the year. Many of the filers are under water. . This is the season of summer vaca­ tions and from the life, thet prevails everywhere, we would fay that many are spending their vacation time at our resorts. An informal dance will be held at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion next Saturday night. It is only natural for us .to say that a fine time is looked for­ ward to by thosfe who regularly attend the social functions at this place. The Oriole camp on Fox river, just south of the Dr. Carl Streuh sanitar­ ium, is again one of the live spots along the river. The camp is one of the old­ est along the Fox and the members of the club never fail to enjoy their an­ nual summer vacation it this beautiful spot. •i We were surprised to learn from a resident of Pistakee Bay that there are at least a dozen empty cottages surrounding that beButiful body of water. We cannot understand why this condition should prevail and are of the belief that they will not fetand in idleness long. In addition to the regular motor boat races scheduled for next Sunday at Pistakee Bay, there will be a race for row boat motors. This special event is creating unusual interest among the members of tire Pistakee Yacht club and should prove an ^xciting as well as fun provoking event. According to the schedule of events as sent out in printed form, tomorrow night (Friday) will be children's night at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion. No doubt those in charge of the pro- gram for this occasion stre sparing no pains to give the little folks an even­ ing of rare fun and pleasure. The commodore's bill held ftt'the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion at Pista­ kee Bay last Saturday evening was one of the most successful events of the kind ever, held at the plabe. The dec­ orations of the hall were artistic and original and from all reports everyone present highly enjoyed the hospitality of the popular commodore and his esti­ mable wife. Two women, Lottie Simons and Mrs. Frank Strohmeyers of'Chicago were again hauled into court at Fox Lake nn Saturday of last wp«lr. A co>ip!e of weeks ago these same two women were arrested on a charge of disorder­ ly conduct. On their promise to leave the village no fine was Imposed upon them at that time. The women failed to live up to their premise and were again arrested last Saturday. Judge Holt of Fox Lake imposed a fine of $5.00 and costs. If the women again commit the offense with which they were charged they will be arrested and taken to Waukegan on a state charge. Word from Fox Lake is to the effect that the women have con­ ducted themselves in" a manner to arouse the suspicions of the Fox Lake authorities and for some time past their actions have been closely watched SARAH EMMA KNOWLES-BAILY Once more gloom has settled on Uiii family at their home In Fox Lake, when the daughter and sister was tak­ en suddenly. For the past four years she has lived in Chicago, until taken sick with pneumonia and suddenly ex­ pired. She was born at Fox Lake in 1870 and always lived there until four years ago, when she moved to Chica­ go. In 19CHi she married Mr. Baily, but he was taken by the Great Reaper two years after they were married She leaves a mother, two sisters, two brothers and a host of other relatives and friends to miss her. The funeral was held in the McHenry M. E. church by the pastor Tuesday morning. Com­ fort was found in the text, "For light allliction, which is but for thojnement, worketh for uAi far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." II Cor. 4:17. Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding, O'er the spoils that death has won, We would at this solemn meeting ' Calmly say, "Thy will be done." v By thy hands the boon was given, Thou has taken but thine own; Lord of earth apd God of heaven, Evermore, "Thy wHl be done/' (Hastings) A.

EHMA nmurs WRITES MOOT SFL WESTERN COAST 18 NOW ENJOYING THE BEAUTIES OF THE WEST- HUMQBEDS ARE TAKING UP RES­ IDENCE THERE Caruthersj Calif., June 16, '14. Dear Friend Mrs. Byrd: Here I*am, stationed for the summer. Did not get to see you just before leaving, but started from Chicago the time I had calculated, June 2, over the North Western & Union Pacific, then South­ ern pacific. This being mostly a new rout'e for me 1 thoroughly enjoyed it, ndt that the scenery is of much account until we reached Utah, but the road bed is fine, quick service, and the weather cool throughout the trip, <bar ring through Ne.braska and that not had. • a./ I was anxious; of ooutsift to find any passenger, or passengers, gbing my way, but did not hear of them until well on the trip, when we became ac­ quainted, as Is always the case, with the entire company after a day or two. Then I found two gentlemen and one lady in one car and throughout the other c&rs possibly twenty bound for Atascadero. It is needless to say we "cottoned" at once and throughout the stay at camp felt quite well acquainted. We arrived at & o'clock a. Yn., Satur­ day, the 0th. Wereanet at the depot by autos to convey uS to the tent city-- and, really, it beggars description- sou small tents in six rows of fifty each, each tent provided with comforts for two people. We were assigned our tents, hung ont our shingle, that is, our respective names and badges, then began to get ready for breakfast, served in a huge tent with a capacity of 700, furnished by the Desmond Catering company, and can truthfully say they cannot be excelled. The whole city was lit up with elec­ tric lights, running water was provid­ ed, many large tents for business and display of products from adjoining ranches, large tent for ei^rtainment where a fine brass band played at in­ tervals during the day and assisted in the evening's entertainment. This tent, as well as others, was decorated with' purple and' white, the emblem of the Woman's Republic, which stands behind this wonderful development scheme of* making perfect homes as near as possible for people of the right sort, with small means or great. Fifty autos were here stationed to carry peo­ ple to see their land, if they had pre­ viously bought, or on sight-seeing tripr throughout the tract and surrounding country. We found an ideal spot that could not be by anyone's pen over esti­ mated, situated six miles from the ocean, high up in the foothills of the mountains, and the vast area of 23,000 acres more or less covered with huge oaks--nature's own park hardly molest­ ed by man. The vast company, assem­ bled from all parts of the United States and Canada, was so rejoiced, and the management wonderful for their most perfect attention to even anticipate every wish, and during the week's visit, under the most severe strain, physically and mentally, never for once perceptibly lost their patience or man­ hood by even a word or look. This is a vast proposition, created in the mind of E. G. Lewis of University City, St. Louis, and after dreaming the dream set about to put into motion the carrying out of that dream in a reason­ able, scientific fashion by getting the foremost men in their lines to assist in turning this vast acreage into homes of from one to ten acres, leaving the parts most picturesque and such places not perfectly adapted to planting for parks and other places of amusement and advantages to its colonists. On Thursday the great event took place, the laying of the corner stone of the government building in the civic center. A barbecue was one of the features of entertainment. The autos called by number, takingj&e vis­ itors to the spot, and the adjoining country had sent in its total inhab­ itants, it seamed, in autos. The crowd was estimated at 5,000, but the autos were ununmbered. The "movies" each evening were of high grade, do­ nated by the Southern Pacific and other large enterprises. A huge danc­ ing pavilion alongside the entertain­ ment tent was made for the young to enjoy that part of the program, but tango was eliminated. It was well on- jo the wee, small hours when the last sought their tents for rest. And such rest! Under douhle blankets, with from (me to two comforts one could sleep the sleep of the just. I must say that the getting up in the cooled atmos­ phere of the morning was the only cause for complaint and that soon be­ came no hardship. I can truthfully say the hundreds at the convention went away wholly satisfied that they could with perfect safety recommend Atascadero as a home and all seemed anxious to return as soon as possible to clear up matters in their own distant places and on the opening of the colony in 1915 to avail themselves of getting settled and watch the mushroom city and its thousands of little ranch homes build a vast community that will be felt not only in California but throughout the world, as it means much to those who Wish to go ba*k to tint* land and yet have advantages that the cities of the most advanced type can give and sustain. I cannot write the details of this undertaking--you are somewhat familiar with them, but should any others wish information they can have literature sent from Atas6adero, or in personally writing me at Caruthers, Calif. I will gladly give all I can. I had to go to Lps Angeles to have my ticket validated, so left on No. 10 (the train on which I arrived the 6th) Friday morning, going by coast route many miles, skirting the beach, taking train at Los Angeles at 7:30 for Fresno, from there to Caruthers, where I found a neighbor of Mrs. Colby's, who kindly took me to her home, a little ahead of time and therefore surprised her. I was about ready for a rest and am en­ joying tho change, fruit and the build­ ing of this new proposition, now.in its infancy, which is a wonderful develop­ ment for a single woman to undertake. We have had several auto rides through this section, Fresno county, which is noted for its fruits, particular­ ly raisins, and the groves are certainly a picture. - This portion of the country is one of the hottest during the months of July*!and August, but cool winds come up about 4 o'clock and the nights are cool, making it not as umcotnfort- able as our country that never cools off for a change. I wished for all my friende while on the colony and am in hopes next year's rates will give opportunities for many to visit this wonderful section of the United States. I am sure McHenry county will send its full quota to the Panama exposition and in going from San Diego to San Francisco one trav­ els through ten miles of Colony prop­ erty, either by way of the Southern Pacific or the state highway, now un­ der construction and which will be fin­ ished at that time. A stop-over will truly repay any visitor to see the, project, as it will have its distinctive- ness as well as any other part of the state visited, and it means much aside from its 'commercial value as it will revolutionize the system of distribution from the grower to consumer, and #r partially co-operative if shares are taken in the company's corporation. I had promised to write many, bat find time slipping away without much headway along that line/ If you would care to print any portion of this it would help me. Give best regards to Lucile and all inquiring friends and write me when you OUL Mrs. Cqlby sends regards. ; Sincerety yeuf friend, EMMA PHILLIPS. FElOKA DEVOSS CO. AT THE CENTRAL J. B.
