Stenger left ^Tuesday morning lor Chicago, from which place they took a boat for a trip thru the great lakes. The outing is given under the direction jof^.the Illinois Bankers' association :•/>*** =*' WHITE SOX CONING WEDNESDAY FINAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BM DAY NOW BEING MADE Next Wednesday, Sept. 9, is the big day for McHenry. On. this day the Chicago White Sox of the American league will be here to take the measure of the McHenry Sox. , • Everyone in McHenry and vicinity is talking of the big event and With perfect weather conditions the day will be one of^the biggest that "the old towja has seen in a half century. Not only are the MpHenry people talking and boosting the event, but our neighbors are also doing more than a little plugging. Richard B. Walsh, the popular man­ ager of the McHenry team, was in Chi­ cago last Saturday, where he made final arrangements for the appearande of the Chicago White Sox in McHen­ ry. The $500 guarantee has been de­ posited in the Bank of McHenry, which insures the Chicagoans their money. Those who have contributed towards the^uarantee fund are to be co'ngratu la tea upon the spirit shown and from present indications every dollar of the money will be returned to the contrib­ utors. Two ticket wagons will be sta­ tioned on the grounds on that day. One wagon will occupy a place near the Mrs. E. M. Owen barn, while a second will be found up at the stand- pipe, near the Waukegan street en­ trance to the grounds. The prices for this special occasion will be'as follows: All adults, 50 cents; children, 25 cents. The manager warns it distinctly under­ stood that no children will be admitted to the grounds without a ticket. -The expense of bringing this attraction to McHenry is heavy and it is for this reason that each and every man, wom­ an and child entering the grounds on this day will be asked to. purchase an admission ticket. Mr., WalBh has also arranged for spe­ cial police protection on that day. At least a half dozen special police officers will be on the grounds on Jiiat day to preserve order and their duty will also be to see that no one gets onto the grounds without paying. In other words, there will be no "sneaking in" on this day. A few of the fans are also getting together for the purpose of arranging some entertainment for the distin­ guished guests on this occasion. A boat ride on beautiful Fox river is one the things planned and we believe that the Chicagoans will appreciate this as much as any other thing that might be proposed. The players and news­ paper men, who will accompany %the team, will be met at the depot by auto­ mobiles. From the depot they will be driven to the Rive»-side boat landing, where the awaiting boats will carry them on their sight seeing trjp. On their return they will have dinner at one of our hotels, after which they will make their way to the ball park. A reception committee will no doubt be appointed before, the big day ar­ rives and we feel safe in stating that the big leaguers will be welcomed to McHenry in a royal manner. A special invitation has also been ex­ tended to President Charles A. Com- iskey to be McHenry's guest on this occasion and it is not unlikely that he will accompany the team to this vil­ lage. Tickets for the game will be on sale at PetescH's and McAllister's drug stores up until twelve o'clock noon on the day of the game After this hour they may be obtained at the ticket wagons. The business men of the village have decided to close their respective places of business during the ball game on this day and do everything to make the event one big tftwter day for Mc­ Henry. - , McHenry has never taken a back seat for any town of its size when it comes to getting up something big and we are going to show our neighbors that we are alive and op to.the times. A vecy hearty invitation is extended to the people of the surrounding towns to be our guests on this occasion and the McHenryites assure all a good time and courteous treatment. Don't forget. the day and date. Join the boosters and talk nothihg but White Sox ^y»lrom now until next Wednes­ day. \ and WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS 0T • T OUR HANY EXCHANGES - MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OF NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY PEOPLE M.

B. Rotnour, the Richmond theat­ rical man, is suffering gr^atljrfrom his disabled limb and may be forced to leave his show and go to the Mayo Bros, hospital at Rochester, Minn., for another operation. Four barbers were acreitei'at Dun­ dee by Thomas Casey of the Barbers' State Board of Examiners. The charges preferred against the four tonsorial artists were for violating the state Jaws requiring registration. In the display window of the Cobb hardware store at Lake Geneva, Wis., is displayed an automobile that comes very near being homemade. The car is an assembled one and most of the parts were manufactured! in the^Cobb hardware store. * Email Opatrny, owner and operator of a blind pig at Fox river grove, Cary, was recently brought before Judge Smiley, charged with the un­ lawful sale of intoxicating liquors. He was fined $280 and costs, the latter bringing the total to $407.45. John Schrank, who attempted to murder Theodore Roosevelt at Mil­ waukee, Wis., in the fall of 1912, by shooting him, has been declared hope­ lessly insane by the physicians at the asylum for the criminal insane at Wau- pun. It is now certain that he will never be tried for the crime. The Richmond Woman's club has set about to clean up that village and with that end in view has purchased rubbish cans and installed them at dif­ ferent points in the business district. These cans will be for waste paper and other waste matter that heretofore has been thrown carelessly in the street. Six Chicagoans were arrested at Libertyville last Sunday, charged with being drunk and disorderly. The fol­ lowing morning they were arraigned in court and fined $25 and costs. Be­ ing unable to pay the fine the men were taken to the county jail at Wau­ kegan, where they are now serving time. -- An Antioch young lady and Bristol, Wis., young man were united in wed­ lock in the west room of the Wauke­ gan court house last Thursday after­ noon. After the couple had procured the necessary license the - young lady retired to a private room, donned her wedding dress, which she had brought with her, and the ceremony was per­ formed. Peter Jacobson, section foreman of the Chicago and Northwestern rail­ road at Barrington, was relieved of $1,500 in negotiable papers and $3 in cash by pickpockets while returning from the Woodstock fair on an even­ ing train last Friday night; The $1500 in negotiable paper is of no value un­ less signed by Jacobson and to make use of it the thieves m^st commit a forgery. H. J. Bauer, the Crystal Lake ga­ rage man, has torn down the building he has occupied during the past few years and in its place will erect a $12,- 000 structure. The new building will be 50x132 feet, two stories in height and will be constructed of brick, iron and cement. According to the Crystal Lake Herald it will surpass anything in that city and will compare favorably with any building of its'kind outside of Chicago. Fred Krueger of Crystal Lake was tried last Thursday before Judge Smi­ ley on a charge of selling liquor with­ out a license. The case attracted a good deal of attention, with the result that quite a crowd of spectators were at the court room all day. Evidence was introduced to show that Krueger had been selling other than soft drinks. However, the jury did not consider the evidence sufficient to convict the accused and a verdict of not guilty was returned. ^ Waukegan Gazette: John W, Pfan- nenstill of this county filed in the cir- <&it court here a declaration in- an action against Eliza Ann Potter et al., in which he asks the right to correct errors in the title deed to a large por­ tion of real estate located in Lake county and which he declares is not properly protected with the right kind of a deed. He states that there are at the present time in the deed many im­ perfections and flaws and for this rea­ son he desires the court to make it possible for him to have the errors made right so that the sale of the land will not be interfered with. The land mentioned in the declaration" is about to change hands and the action was taken in the courts in order to clear up the question as to the deed now existing on it. - WAS HELD AT THE COUNTY SEAT LAST FRIDAY Rural School day was hehl Friday morning at the city hall in Woods took. Nearly one thousand patrons and friends of the one room schools assem­ bled to witness the promotional exer­ cises. There were 106 eighth grade pupils who had earned promotional certificates to the high school and were present at the exercises. Of this num­ ber fifty-four were boys and fifty-two were girls. All whtf intended to enter high school were requested to raise their hands and sixty-four responded with the intention of attending a local high school this September. From every township in the county representatives were present, who took part in the county spelling contest, which was conducted by Superintend­ ent Shelton. The following were awarded the county honors: First prize, Charles Kruth, Chemung; sec­ ond prize, Milford Herdklotz, Wood­ stock, and third prize, Genevieve Car- brey of Alden. The contestants in the spelling contest showed excellent prep­ aration and their exhibition in the spelling was very commendable indeed to the rural teachers of McHenry county. It occurred to Superintendent Shel­ ton when he was elected county super­ intendent to make some fitting recog­ nition in a public way of the work done by those who had finished the rural school course. Those who com­ pleted the work in the town and city schools were especially honored by their commencement program each June. In order to promote the course of education in the rural schools and encourage the boys aad girls to con­ tinue their work at an adjacent high school, he established the Rural School day, which has been held each year during his term of office. The follow­ ing is a letter addressed to the boys and girls who have completed the course of study in the rural schools: Crystal Lake, 111., Sept. 3, 1914. My Young Friend--America is a great land of opportunity and our free public schools are the greatest institu­ tions on the face of the earth. We are justly proud of them both and should do our very best,to measure up to the high standard of citizenship which they have bestowed upon us. The boys and girls of today are the men and women of the great tomor­ row. Uj)on them will devolve the real responsibilities of life and the future of the great republic will be in their keeping. How well you will succeed will de­ pend largely upon your own efforts and preparations. • The world is full of desirable places which will have to be filled in future years by men and women of honesty, industry and abil­ ity, A good education will help you in some way every day of your life, re­ gardless of w hat your occupation may be. Our free public schools are the great, workshops in which six thousand five hundred boys and girls of McHen­ ry county are now preparing them­ selves to meet and solve the problems of life. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, hence do not unneces­ sarily miss a lesson, but build up all along the line. I shall watch with interest the re­ ports from your school as they come to this office where your report is kept and I hope to find that you have put forth your very best efTorta in your work. Wishing you a pleasant sod prosper­ ous school year, I am, Very truly yours, A. M. SHELTQH* Su|>erintendent of McHenry County Schools. School books and tablets at McAllis­ ter's drug store. GET RIBBONS AT FAIR Two McHenryites carried away rib­ bons from the McHenry county fair held at Woodstock last week. Ray­ mond S. Howard exhibited his team of driving horses and carried away first and second prizes: "Thallas Gratton," the bay horse, won first prize in the single driving class. The animal's style and action brought the prize for the owner. Mr. Howard was also awarded the second prize offered to the best span of carriage horses. In this event he had entered "Thallas Gratton" and "Phyllis Egotist," bay and black. The team is a handsome one and the owner has every re^on to feel proud of them. Wqrth Woodburn also exhibited his driving horse "Thornbill" in the non-standard road­ ster class of three years and over and was awarded second prize. He showed the animal to the halter. Mr. Howard intended to show his team at the Lib­ ertyville fair, but changed his plans at the last moment. Mr. Wood burn is exhibiting his beauty at the Belvidere fair. ; ENDORSE McHENRY MAM < The Legislative Voters' league of Illinois in its annual report endorses Jos. W. Freund of this village.

The cabaret minstrel show, given by the members of the Pistakee Yacht club at the Pistakee Bay pavilion, drew out a packed house last Saturday evening. The audience appeared in an unusually happy humor and ready to receive each number with a hearty applause. The performance was put on with a life and snap that would do justice to a company of professionals. The songs and jokes were all right up po the minute, the latter creating no end of amusement for all. Schaefer's band of Chicago will be at the Orchard Beach hotel during the week end and* arrangements have al­ ready been made for band concerts at that place for Saturday afternoon and Sunday and also Labor day. A fine musical treat is in store for those who make this hotel their headquarters during this time, as well as others who care to make a visit to this beauty spot. Everyone is invited to make the Orchard Beach hotel his headquar­ ters on these days and all are assured most courteous treatment and a fine time. If you are a lover of good music make your plans to take in the con­ certs. August Larsen has returned from his sojourn on his "farm" up in the wilds of Wisconsin. Mr. Larsen reports an excellent time and plenty of fish. While up north he succeeded in land­ ing several good sized species of the muskalonge, the largest of which weighed thirteen pounds. Fish are most plentiful up north and lovers of the sport could not wish for a better place for a week's outing than is af­ forded up there. Mr. „Larsen also re­ ports running across a couple of bears, while other wild game is there in plenty. The McHenry man has lum­ ber on his property and expects to erect a cabin on same some time with­ in the next year. The beautiful silver trophy that had been won by the Pistakee Yacht club from the Fox Lake Yacht club on August 24 was raced for last Sunday by the fleet of five motor boats that had successfully defended the Pistakee Yacht club's interests the previous Sunday. The race was twice around the six mile course, the boats being handicapped on the basis of their best previous time around the course. The first boat to finish and the winner of the race was the Lochraine, with Mr. and Mrs. William Foreman as the crejr. The second boat to finish was the Skipowell, run by the son of W. S. Sigier. The third boat was the Helen- dora, owned by A. Friested, It was a beautiful race, the winner nosing out the Skipowell by five seconds, while the Helendora finished thirty seconds later. Property owners residing at Orchard Beach, along the west shore of Fox river, held a meeting at the home of H. C. Hettinger last Saturday evening and formed what is to be known as the Orchard Beach Improvement associa­ tion. The officers elected were as fol­ lows: President, M. D. Wilkins; vice president, Dr. Carl Strueh; financial secretary, Chas. Furlong; treasurer, H. C. Hettinger; recording secretary, Chris Norager. The object of the as­ sociation is the general improve­ ment of the Orchard Beach shore, roads and private grounds. The prop­ erty owners along this shore are tak­ ing great interest in their respective places and with a view of encouraging those who have not as yet acquired the improvement spirit they have invited all property owners to join the asso­ ciation and in this manner they hope to make Orchard Beach one of the prettiest spots along Kox river or the chain of lakes. Already a fast im­ provement has been made along this shore, but with the organisation of the above named body still greater things will undoubtedly be accomplished. Every resident at Orchard Beach will henceforth set forth-^»is very best efforts in his endeavor to keep pace wsth his neighbors. IS HOME FROM HOSPITAL V>'̂ Mrs. James N.

D. Osborn at Woodstock at six o'clock last Saturday evening, when their daughter,.Doris, was united in marriage to Mr. Fredric John Mer- shon of this place. The ceremony, which was witnessed by fifty guests, was performed by Rev. N. A. Sunderlin, former pastor of the Woodstock M. E. church, the pretty event taking place in the parlor of the Osborn home. The happy couple stood beneath a most beautiful bower of green, whale the sacred words were being spoken by the pastor. The scene was indeed a pretty one. Miss Carlo Van Ostrand of Kalama­ zoo, Mich., a cousin to the bride, acted as maid of honor, while Mr. Dwight Hoy of Woodstock was the best man. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom, together with their guests, sat down to a course luncheon; after which they made their get-away in an automobile. They were driven to C.rystal Lake, where they boarded a train for a short wedding trip thru Michigan. On their return they will make their home in McHenry, the Mrs. Margaret Bonslett house on Waukegan street being in readiness to receive them when they come. 1 The bride is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Osborn of Woodstock. She has always made her home at the county seat, where she attended school and graduated from high school. Later on she attended Illinois university at Urbana, 111. She has also taught in the grades of the Woodstock school for a number of years, her work in that capacity having been very successful She has always been quite active among the younger social set at the county seat city, where she is a member of several clubs. Altho a stranger to most of our people, she has made fre­ quent visits to this village during the past few months and in this way. has made a number of friends here. She is a young woman of pleasing appear­ ance and a disposition that makes friends at first meeting. The groom is also a new comer here, having made this village his home for a few months only, coming here last March. He is employed as cashier in the Bank of McHenry and during his short stay here has not only made many friends, but has won the confidence of the public as well. He is a native of Kalamazoo, Mich., from which city he came to McHenry. He is a-graduate of Albion college, Albion, Mich., and is well qualified for the excellent and trustworthy position he holds in this village. Since coming to McHenry he has formed the acquaintance of most of our people as well as a large num­ ber of rural residents and is held in the very highest esteem by all. Mr. and Mrs. Mershon are expected in McHenry some time before the end of the present week. They will, take up thei^home at once in the-Bonslett house. The Plaindealer loins their many friends in extending congratula­ tions. A FINE PIECE OF WORK C. H. Fantham & Sons, who during the past two weeks ran a piano adver­ tisement in the columns of The Plain- dealer in the form of a rebus, have in their possession an enlarged cartoon of the rebus, together with the answer to game. The work is that of our young cartoonist, Andy Hettinger, and we dare say that it is the best that we have seen in some time. The cartoon may be seen at the Fantham music store in Centerville, where it is now on display. Mr. Fantham informs us that he will send same to the Baldwin Piano company in Chicago, where it will likely be exhibited in their win­ dows. j HUNTER BOAT LINE Hunter boat line will run its launches, Gladene and Gladys, every day in the week to all points on the river, Pista­ kee Bay, Fox Lake and the lotus beds, leaving at 10:30 a. m. and 2:30 p. m.
