The McHenry delegation left this village at about ten o'clock and ar­ rived in Harvard in plenty of time for dinner. The degree work was put *on by teams from Chicago and from those who went over we are told tliat the degrees were most beautifully exem­ plified. The members of the McHenry class were given their first degree by the degree team of the McHenry council at the K. of C. hall here on Thursday evening of last week. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity at the time and the work was put on in a highly satisfactory manner. A light lunch was served at the close of the work. At Harvard on Sunday the wotk was followed by an ' elaborate banquet, which was served at Saunders' hall in that city. The banquet was served by the members of the Ladies' Altar and Rosary society of St. Joseph's church of that place and was indeed a splendid repast. Nearly four,hundred Knights partook of same.

Hettinger, who has a home at Orchard Beach, on Fox river, a short distance north of this village, came to town on Tuesday iu his row boat driv­ en by an Aerothrust motor. Having business in the c,ent.ral part of town, he came up Boone creek, landing near the -Centerville bridge. The sight of a power boat in Boone oreek surely was an unusual one, but with the aid of the new engine this feat is made possible. Mr. Hettinger informs us that with his Aerothrust equipment he is able . to go where other motor boats would not dare .venture. In fact, since equipping his boat with this motor he has traversed waters never before visited by a power boat of any description. He is able to run up into German creek with ease, while there isn't a spot in the world famous lotus beds at Fox Lake where the boat cannot be driven with ease. He is now contemplating a trip to Spring Grove via Nippersink creek, something never before attempted' by - a power qraft. Mr. Hettinger, has the agency for these engines and will gladly dem­ onstrate their usefulness at any time desired. Read his advertisement, which appeals elsewhere in this weed's issue of this paper. '. Graduation day gifts at Petesch's. PROF. SNALLEY TO CRYSTAL LAKE Prof. Smalley, who has taught in our high school during the past year, and who has been very successful in his •work here, has been engaged by the Crystal Lake board of education, where he will teach next year. The high school pupils as well as the patrons of the McHenry school are' very, sorry to see Mr. Smalley leave, as his ( work while here has been 'such to command more than ordinary attention. Sis Work in the athletic department has been especially gratifying and the Crystal Lake board is surely fortunate in securing the services of this young man. We arQ reliably informed that lti* salary at Crystal Lake will be con­ siderably higher than that paid' him here during the past year. THE POSTOFP1CE APPOINTMENT What about the McHenry postoffice appointment? This is a question that has been put to the writer many times during the past few weeks. At this time We are unable to give any definite information. As far as we are able to learn Mr. Freund, the newly appointed postmaster, is still without hiscommis- Bion and, in view of this fact, it looks to us as if the alleged protests sent to Washington are occupying the atten­ tion of the big fellows who have it in their power to make the appointment and hand on the commissions. Post­ master Holly's commission expires on June 20, but he will remain in office until such a time as his successo^***)- ifies. < ALUMNI BAlfQOET JUNE 19 < • .... - Invitations have'been issued for the annual banquet given by the McHenry High School Alumni association. The banquet will take place atStoffel's hall on Saturday evening, June 19, and will be served by the ladies of the Dorcas society of the M. E. church. The as­ sociation is planning on making this year's banquet one of the grandest ever undertaken, by them. The com­ mittee is now arranging a splendid program for tfyfe occasion 'and nothing will be left undone to make the-6vettt an unusually successful one. SOPHOMORE CLASS NlCHT Sophomore class night was held at the school auditorium last evening and proved one of the most complete as well as enjovable events of the kind ever held in McHenry since the histdfy of the school. An excellent program w$s arranged for the occasion, which was highly enjoyed by those preswH. Chicken feed at M. lfeNiesenHt MISCELLANEOUS ASSORTMENT OP NEWS ITEMS IN CONDENSED FORM FOR BUSY (PEOPLE _ The Manlsy Hardware eohtpiny. of Harvard have opened anew automobile salesroom in the |>osto!l)ce building in that city . The salesroom com paves favorably with those fbnntf ih larger cities. ^ R G. Jones, former superintendent of the Harvard schools, now serving in a like capacity at Rockford, has turned down an offer of $5,000 a year as superintendent of the public school system at San Antonio, Tex. More than 1,500 persons have ap­ plied for positions in the new factory which is to be constructed by the Ford Motor company at Milwaukee, Wis. Th^ most that the company will employ at their new plant is 400. The business men of Area, Lake county, have formed a Commercial as­ sociation for thfe purpose of inducing the Area Oil Manufacturing company to build and operate a factory at that place. It looks as tho their efforts in this direction will be successful. The Genoa Junction Courier Is a thing of the past, having beenr ab­ sorbed by the Hebron Tribune. The two papers have been consolidated and will hereafter be issued from* the Tribune office at Hebron. The Heb­ ron paper iu the future will contain a Genoa Junction department. According to the Grayslake Times, the Sunnybrook sanatorium at Woos- ter Lake, formerly the Spirit Fruit farm, has some bad patients, as a man from the institution recently visited Grayslake and had the harness maker in that village make him up a number of "tamers" lit the form of anklets and wristlets. R. Eu Haeger's herd of show cattle, which were on „display during the dairy show in Chicago last winter, and which, on account of the foot and mouth disease, were quarantined in that city, arrived at Algonquin last week. We understand that the quar­ antine of this valuable herd of cattle has cost the owner a small fortune. / While hunting for wild flowers in a woods near Barrington on a recent Sunday afternoon, Miss Edith Swank and a company of friends came across the cold body of a man hanging from a tree. Authorities were notified and the man was later identified as Chris Becktold, a wandering cabinet worker Two of his sisters came to Barrington and ordered his remains buried in th£ cemetery at that place. Richmond Gazette: Mr. and Mrs John Charles Thomas were over Sun day guests in the W. H. Rotnour home. Mrs. Thomas is remembered as Miss Ruby Rotnour and Mr. Thomas is grand opera singer of considerable note and Munsey's magazine for May gives considerable space to an account of his success as a barytone opera singer in The Peasant Girl" and a number of other popular plays. Mr. Thomas is the son of a Methodist clergyman of Baltimore and sang in church choirs before he entered the conoert field Tom Morrison, marshal at Rondout, was shot and instantly killed by stranger one morning recently. The marshal's attention was directed to* wards the depot in that village on the fatal morning, where three suspicious looking fellows stood loafing. He walked up to the three and ordered them to leave town. One of the fel­ lows did not take kindly to the mar­ shal's orders and went after the of ficial with a sand bag. After felling the officer the stranger took from the marshal his gun and shot. Death was almost instantaneous. The three made their escape. Marengo Republican-News: Super- *lsor M. D. Wright, member of the Road and Bridge committee, was at Crystal Lake Monday with the other members of the committee in confer­ ence with the town clerk and highway commissioners of Nunda township. The meeting was for the purpose of letting the contract for the construction of Burton's bridge, across the Fox River in Nanda township. This was done. The successful bidders are the J. O'Herron Construction company of Chicago. The cost, about $16,000, will be equally divided between the township of Nunda hnd McHenry county. The structure will be of cement, of the rainbow arch style, and in lenghth will be 410 feet. It will be the second one of its kind in the state. Mr. Wright, as chairman of the poor farm committee, called the other members to the county farm on Tues­ day to consider the proposition of buying a new steam boiler. The old one failed to pass state inspection and must be replaced. It is proposed to install two small smokeless boilers in place of the one large one. Bids will be advertised for later. Thursday Mr. Wright, whose duties as super­ visor are claiming much of his time this week, went to Jonhsburg, the road and bridge committee being again in session that day. The contract was then to be let for repairing the bridge across the river at that point. The repairing needed is that of reinforcing the concrete abutments and the strengthening at places of the steel that enters into its construction. This bridge, is 406 feet in length, . . m CLASS OF SIXTEEN TO BE INITIATED HERE NEXT SUNDAY AFTERNOON Next Sunday will be red letter day for St. Mary's Catholic Order of For­ esters of this-place and the members of the Order are planning on one of the biggest events ever attempted by Foresters in McHenry county. A class of sixteen candidates will be initiated on this occasion and the de­ gree work will be Exemplified by the state degree team of Elgin, headed b State Organizer Adolf Fischer. In speaking of the team, which is to put on the work here next Sunday, the Eigin Courier of A recent issue had the following to say: "The degree team of St. Joseph's court, Catholic Order of Foresters which is also the state degree team of the order, continues to bring a great deal of credit to Itself and to its organ izer, Adolf Fischer. "Realizing the necessity of exempli fying the ritualistic work of the soci ety in a more.dignified and impressive manner, the team was organized in August, 1905, by Mr. Fischer, who at that time was chief ranger of St. Joseph's court, No. 345, C. O. F. "The original purpose of the organi zation was purely local, the aim being simply to exemplify the ritualistic work upon new membersof St. Joseph's court. As St. Joseph's court at that time, at least, adhered most strictly in all its work to the German language the degree ritual was translated into German by Mr. Fischer and was first exemplified in that language upon a class of candidates in St. Joseph's court in April, 1906. The initiation was at tended by high and state court officials Among the visitors was Jacob Mehren inventor of the degree ritual. "St. Joseph's degree team has the distinction of being the only team in the entirecorder which is able to ex­ emplify the work both in the German and English languages. "From the time of the first exempli fication of the work in German, the team was in great demand in all parts of the state and conferred the initiation in both languages in many courts In April, 1910, it was officially desig­ nated as the state degree team and was presented with a set of beatiful robes by the Illinois state court. Mr. Fischer has been state organizter for the order since 1907. "In all, the team has exemplified about 55 initiations on a total of 1,1000 candidates. Compliments on its ex­ cellent work have been given in profu sion by high officers. "Present members of the team are Chief ranger, Adolf Fischer; vice chief ranger, Aloysius Kienlen; past chief ranger, Charles Wiedemann senior conductor, Louis Rothstein; junior conductor, Frank Westerman; (senior conductor at regular initia­ tions); assistant- conductor, Joseph Juenger (junior conductor at regular initiations); musician, Frank Sauer "Former members are: Chris Lelt- ner and Julius WirkuB, senior oon- ductora; Charles Goedert and Benno Fischer, junior conductors; Charles Gracer, musician." A short time ago the two men courts of St. Mary's and St. Patrick's churches consolidated and since that time the court has been^working hard to increase its membership. With the consolidations of the two courts came new life and the court, in the future, will be one of the largest and strongest fraternal organizations in McHenry. Invitations have been extended to the neighboring courts and a large number of visitors are expected Here nextSundayr Arrangements are being mado to entertain two hundred or more. v The ifegree work will be exemplified at Knox hall on Water street. Be­ sides the state team from Elgin there will also be several of the high state officials present and the work, it is ex­ pected, will be the very best ever seen outside of Chicago. The arrangement oommittee is working hard to make the eyent a big success and judging from tbe enthus­ iasm displayed by the members in general the occasion will be one that will not be forgotten so soon. An elaborate banquet wilj follow the work. The banquet will be served-at the Forester hall on Water street and will be served by the young ladies of St. Mary's and St. Patrick's churches. TAKCn TO CHICAuu Rev. Chas. Quinn, pastor of St. Pat­ rick's Catholic church here, was taken to Mercy hospital, Chicago,, last Satur­ day morning. The reverend pastor was taken seriously ill the first of last week and to insure him the very best care it was deemed advisable to remove him to Chicago. Reports from that city are to the effect that he is slowly recovering and bis many friends in and around McHenry sincerely hope that his recovery may be speedy and com­ plete. • - SOLDIERS PASS THRLJJYILLAGE The signal corps of Fort Sheridan, riding in automobiles, passed thru the village on Tuesday of this week. Their entrance into the village was made known thru a bugle and their presence here attracted more than a little at­ tention. They were on their way to Nits. WOttf DEATH CONES pHM '5|; : Bf ON SATWWATff^.. *'• DROPS DEAD ON SIDEWALK NEAR HOME OF JOHN PINT WHILE QN HERWAY TO GERMAN CEMETERY The village and community Were given another sad shock last Saturday afternoon, when the word was passed that Mrs. Casper Wirfs had dropped dead on the sidewalk in front of the home of John Pint on Pearl street. Mrs. Wirfe, carrying a basket of ' (lowers, was on her way to the German cemetery. On her way to the burial grounds she stopped- at St. Mary's church for confession. Having per­ formed her mission she left the church and was about to proceed to the resting place of her husband and deceased members of her family when she be­ came ill. Feeling that' she was not strong enough to proceed on her way, she went to the Pint home. She de­ clined an invitation from Mrs. Pint to come into the house, saying that she thought a few minutes' rest on the porch would be sufficient and that she would then be on her way. .Deter­ mined to make her visit to the ceme­ tery she left the Pint home after a short rest. She had just reached the street when she toppled over. MrsA Pint and one or two friends, whom she was entertaining at the time, saw her fall and ran to her assistance. Realis­ ing that the stricken women was in a serious condition, Dr. Wells was at once sent for, but when,he arrived on the scene he pronounced her dead. She was then carried into the Pint home and later removed to her own home on Waukegan street, which she had left apparently in good health only a few hours before. While the deceased had not been down of late, it was known to the members of her family as Well as her close friends that she had not been in the best of health for some time past. During the past two weeks especially she has acted queerly, altho those nearest to her hadn't the slightest idea that her end was so close. Miss Catherine Gilles was born in Germany on May 15, 1837, being a trifle over seventy-eight years of age at the time of her death. During the summer of 1843 she left her native land with her parents and came to America. They landed on American soil after a long and tiresome journey. On their arrival in this country they came direct to McHenry township, set­ tling at Johnsburgh, which at that time was inhabited by only a few fam­ ilies. Here she grew to womanhood. On Oct. 7, 1865, she was united in marriage to Casper Wirfs, the cere­ mony having been performed in Chi­ cago. After her marriage she made her home at Johnsburgh for a number of years. About forty years ago she and her husband and family moved to this village, where she has lived con* tinuously ever since. -She was the mother. of seven chil­ dren, two of whom, Susanna and Annie, died when quite young. Her husband has also preceded her in death, he having passed away Aug. 24,1911. The living children are as follows: Edward of Waukegan, John of Chicago, Mrs. J. B. Buss, Mrs. Ben Brefeld and Peter of this village. Besides these five children she also leaves two broth­ ers, Joe Gilles of Elgin and Adam Gil­ les of Minneapolis, Minn., one sister, Mrs. John Thelen of Minneapolis, Minn., and a large circle of friends. Mrs. Wirfs was beloved and highly respected by everyone who knew her and during the years of her residence in this village she has proven herseli one of our very best citizens. Her sudden departure is mourned by all. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church on Wednesday morning of this week, Rev. Edward Berthold officiating. The remains were laid to rest in St. Mary's ceme­ tery.

Joe Engeln has one, a seven pound black bass, which was landed in Fox river by John Engeln last April. The second, an eighteen pound pick­ erel, is to be seen at Fred Justen's place near the river bridge. This monster was caught at the lake by Mr. Justen last winter. Jos. J. Mertes, proprietor of the Oak Park hotel at Plstakee Bay, Is taking great pride In showing his friends and visitors at the popular hostelry a-12-pound wall-eyed pike, which was caught by him at Pis- takee Bay last winter. Tbe three fish are beauties and the anglers who caught them have every reason Co feel proud of their catch. .+ WOODSTOCK BAND ENGAGED The Woodstock band has been en­ gaged for the Fourth of July celebra­ tion in McHenry, which means that the musical end will be well looked after. Woodstock has some of the very best musicians to be found any­ where and McHenry prides itself in be­ ing able to secure this excellent organ­ ization for the coming event. i$"t last, after years of Pegging and pleading, the wishes of the citizens of McHenry are to be granted and we are now assured of a municipal build­ ing that will be a distinct credit to the village as well as to the present mem­ bers of our village boafd. That McHenry is to be given a vil lage hall was definitely decided at a meeting of the village board held on Monday evening of this week, and that this is to be built without costing the tax payers a single penny is also as sured, as the improvement is to be paid for with the revenue money which annually comes into the village treas­ ury. At the meeting on Monday evening it was decided to remodel the present pumping station so as to give the vil lage a place to hold its meetings and carry on all of its business affairs. The front of the building is to be taken out and replaced with beautiful terra Cot- ta, while an eighteen foot addition will be built to the rear of tbe building. The new addition will be used for jail and storage room. The entire front of the present building will then be par­ titioned off from the engine room and used for a council chamber. An ordinahce regarding the improve­ ment appears elsewhere in this week's issue. Read it. As will ibe seen by the ordinance, bids will be advertised for at once and the work should be let at an early date. ORDINATION SERVICES John M. Ratcliff, who has been pas­ tor of the Universalist church of this village for the past year, will be re­ ceived into full fellowship of the Uni­ versalist ministry next Sunday. The ordination services will take place at 8 p. m., and will be conducted by the members of the Illinois fellowship com­ mittee. Rev. E. Dean Ellenwood, pas­ tor of the First Universalist church of Elgin, will preach the sermon for the occasion and Dr. L. Ward Brigham, pastor of St. Paul's Universalist church of Chicago, will extend the fellowship for the convention. A cordial invita­ tion is extended to the public.
