That is what happened to poor little Tatters, who brings her story to the Central opera house on Sunday evening of this week. Remember the day and date.

Sutton, cashier of the Cary State hanlr Gary Station- Mr Sutton was born and raised near this village and up until the time of being made tcashier of the, Cary institution he made this place his home. Large Crowds Ilia usual large Saturday night crowd was in towil last week. The main streets on both sides of town were lined with automobiles and bug­ gies until tell o'clock. McHenry sure­ ly is getting to be a "regular" town. It will not be long ere McHenry will have to do away with the hitching posts on her main streets and provide other means of hitching for our rural residents and outsiders, who cons^ t^ McHenry to do their trading.

A new village hail, to be built of brick, is to be erected at Cary. A $109,900 grade school is to be erected at Kenosha, Wis. It is estimated that 2,000 automo­ biles were ia Lake Geneva, Wis., on July 5. The State bank of Woodstock has declared a four per cent a^mi-annual dividend. ; • New steel hitching posts have been erected in the down town Streets of Richmond. Two homes were entered by bur­ glars at Harvard during a recent night. The thieves did not get much. The Ofder of Eastern Star of Har­ vard has purchased a pictuye ma­ chine to be used in illustrating the lec­ tures during the initiation of new members. * Motorcycle cops on the Delavan Lake road' ih Wisconsin arrested seven speeders in a single week re­ cently. In each case a fine of $10 was assessed. The contract fdt sttpptying ahd in­ stalling the locomotive boilers at the McHenry county poor farm at Hart- land has been awarded to D. B. Nichols of Woodstock. The C. F. Hall company is enlarg­ ing its Dundee quarters to accommo­ date their increasing patronage in that city. The company now con­ ducts stores at Dundee and Elgin. According to the Waukegan Daily Sun, it cost Lake county $1,065 to return verdicts of not guilty against two Fox Lake saloonkeepers who were charged with selling liquor on Sun­ days. One of the workmen employed on the state road that is being built out of Woodstock was overcome by beat in that city on Sunday, July 11, and passed away in the Woodstock hos­ pital that evening. John B. Lyon, the oldest member of the McHenry county bar, and who has practiced law in this county for forty- seven years, pasMd away at his late home at Harvard on Saturday, July 10, aged eighty-one years. The automobile laws ate also being strictly enforced at Barrington. Two arrests were made in. that village last week, the defendants being charged with- driving automobiles at night without a tail light. A fine of $8.00 and costs was assessed in each case. Solon is to have a new $7,000 school building. It will be remembered that the school house question was voted down at that place early last spring, but at a second election held there recently the project went thru. Work on. the new building will begin soon. * A $10,000 packing house is soon to be erected just outside the village limits of Antioch. The plant will be conducted under the name of Antioch Packing company. The company plans to purchase cattle and-hogs di­ rect from the farmers or stock Taisers and sell to home as well as city mar­ kets. A. Wallace, a Long Lake farmer, was attacked by a bull one night re cently while h$ was leading the ani­ mal. Wallacf was on horseback when attacked.* Without warning the bull suddenly dashed around the horse, the rope pinning its feet to cause it to fall down with its rider. The rider received quite a serious in­ jury to his shoulder, but cannot re­ member whether this was caused from the fall or the attack of the ferocious animal. Lynn W. Richards, county treasurer of McIIenry county, made a trip to Springfield last week Wednesday, tak ing with him a draft for $16,682.72, which is McHenry county's ro itribu- tion to Illinois in the way of tax imoney collected. It is customary for each county treasurer to deliver the money or a draft therefor to the state treasurer at Springfield within a short time after the tax sales on delinquent properties have been held, the sale taking place in this county two weeks ago. / „ V Richmond Qasetter. jpSchmond's baker, H. F. Wettengel, had an ex­ perience with confidence men last Sat­ urday which cost him $10. Two strangers, who left their automobile across the street, entered the store and made some small purchases and then requested Mr. Wettengel to change a twenty dollar bill. He gave the man one ten and two fives, where­ upon the suave shark asked that bills of different denominations be given hfm and finally concluded he preferred his original twenty dollar bill. The two men quickly disappeared and in the short space of time in which it took Mr. Wettengel to discover that there was a ten dollar bill missing, the sleek strangers had slipped away in their car. Pursuit was useless as this particular^ brand of thieves carry no proof of their guilt, unless detected in midst of the shuffle „ M: McHENRY COUNTY FAIR To Be Held at Woodstock, Aogtist 24, ' 16, 26 and The new 1915 premium lists of the McHenry county fair are now in circu­ lation, a copy of which has been re­ ceiver! at our office. In looking over the same we find that many changes have been made in the makeup of this premium list. One noticeable feature is that entry fees have been reduced and en­ try fees on sweepstakes crossed out altogether, which will have a tendency to increase entries in all departments. In class B--Cattle amateur and pro­ fessional classes have been estab­ lished and all cattle having won prizes at state fairs and the National Dairy show are not eligible to com­ pete in any but lot 18 with Holsteins in the prize winners' class. Secretary P. R. Forman at Wood­ stock advises us that weekly meetings of the officer^, members of executive committee arid superintendents are now being held. He has called our attention to a typographical error in the premium list on page 16, where the word "Holstein" should follow on same line with "Lot 18--Prise Win­ ners' Class." Approximately three thousand of these premium lists have been mailed around the county from the secre­ tary's office. He still has a large supply on hand and will mail copies free to any one writing for same. ' Free Attractions Mr. Forman advises us that the free attractions booked for this yefcr are the best ever secured. The aeronautical act of Mr. Hutchinson iB jmore sensational than an aeroplane night; and his six, eight, ten, twelve or fourteen parachute drops from each balloon ascension are features worth going miles to see. His Human Bomb act is also a thriller. These acts of Hutchinson's, together with a wonderful Japanese act by three Toki brothers and a comedy act by Lortie, Alexander and Griff, will amuse the crowds each day of the fair. In ad­ dition, there (will be baseball games each forenoon at 10 a. m., and good horse races every afternoon. Three bands have been secured to furnish music,during the fair and of course the Midway and Pike will be crowded with concessions as usual. Thg. pQfrgonnel of officers for this years's fair shows many new names, among them being several young men of the'county. We realize they have a difficult task ahead of them to suc­ cessfully operate a good exhibition. They are now busily engaged and working hard for a successful fair and we wish them success. At the Theatre Little Tiny Leone is coming to fhe Central opera house on Sunday even­ ing, July 25. She is coming as Tat­ ters in "The Girl of the Streets." She is only a girl, but she has a ref­ utation that would be a ci^dit to one of more advanced yefrs. She Was born in a theatre, slept as a baby in a trunk and she played parts al­ most before she could talk. She has played leading roles in many big time productions, "The Shepherd of the Hills," "The Rosary," "The Bell of Japan," "The Man on the Box," "In the Bishop's Carriage," "Quo Vadis." She will make you cry and she will make you laugh, but the one thing is sure, she will make you love her be­ fore the first act is over. There are no waits in "The Girl of the Streets." There is lively music and pleasing specialties. You will hear the very latest songs played and sung and parodies on some of those you know. There is real scenery complete for each act, all going to help make "The Girl of the Streets" the best pro­ duction that has ever played your town. Seats now on sale at Pet- esch's. ^ , g,.]!,, |iin none Dr. C. H. Fegers has just disposed of his home on Green street to Charles H. Bechtell of Chicago, who will take possession of the place the latter part of August. Mr. Bechtell, on a recent visit to this village, was so much imprest ed with McHenry and her people that he decided to make this place his residence He set out at once to look over the places that were for sale and was not long in closing a deal with our retired physician. Dr. Fegers is undecided as to his fu­ ture place of abode in McHenry, but may decide to erect a handsome new bungalow at a near future data. A Good Show The Flora DeVoss company fl^ed to a packed house at the Central opera house last Sunday evening. On account of the illness of one of the members of the company the adver­ tised drama, "The Adventures of Alice," could not be produced. Mr. Rotnour regrets very much that he could not produce the bill as adver­ tised, but we believe the audienc present was just as well pleased with the play that was produfced. McHenry ice cream has no com­ parison, because there is none as good, pure and delicious. C. Unti, proprie­ tor. SUMNER- RESORT DOINGS SPEED BOAT OWNER FINE IN COURT PAYS en "to M- N The Mineral Springs Hotel \$t, flit takee Bay Again Changes Hands- Other Doings 't A few more such law suits, while it is hoped they may not be rendered necessary, mifiht go a long way to­ ward abating our speed boat nut-- sance. A number of Elgin people are find­ ing Griswold lake a delightful place for an outing. Quite a number of Elginites have visited the lake during the past few weeks. A fine crowd attended the informal dance at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion at Pistakee Bay last Satur­ day evening and the usual good time prevailed. "Fox river-is a navigable stream." So "declared Frank Barden, a repre­ sentative of the Illinois river and lake commission. He added further that "navigable river is one on which a canoe can be floated." Young men's night will be enjoyed at the Pistakee Yacht club pavilion next Saturday evening. Everyone is looking, forward to one big time, as the young men have long since estab­ lished a reputation as entertainers. The Chicago Amphion quartet will again enjoy their annual outing at the Orchard Beach hotel this year. They have already made arrange­ ments with Landlord Norager for ac­ commodations at hts resort for three days, commencing Saturday, August 14. Mr. and Mi*. B. W. Graves apd children of Elgin recently enjoyed a, canoe trip from that city up Fox river and thru the chain of lakes. They made stops at McHenry, Pista­ kee Lake, Fox Lake, Grass Lake, Lake Marie and Channel Lake and report a most delightful trip. The Titonia Manner^ftr of Chica­ go enjoyed a two days' outing at the Orchard Beach hotel on Fox river here last Saturday and Sunday and we are putting it mildly when we say that this hotel proved one of the live­ liest spots on Fox river during their stay. On Sunday they enjoyed a boat trip up Fox river and lakes. C. H. Ostrander, a Fox Lake sa­ loonkeeper, was found guilty of oper­ ating his place of business on Sunday by a jury in the Lake county court at Waukegan on Monday evening. Most of thq saloonkeepers in the Fox Lake region have been arrested of late, but not all have been found guilty of the charge preferred against them. A new cement roadway has been constructed from the main Pistakee Bay road at Sayer's animal park to the row of cottages on the south shore of Pistakee bay. The road was built by cottage owners ahd is a big improvement. As the road is a pri­ vate one, only those having contrib­ uted towards the building of the road are expected to use same. The Hfineral Springs hotel on the east shore df Pistakee bay has again changed hands, the place having re­ cently been sold by Geo. Fritz to F. E. Moffet of Covert, Mich. Mr. Fritz came into possession of the place about two years ago, purchasing the hotel from A. H. Kingsley, who con­ ducted the place with signal success for a number of years. Mr. Fritz has moved his family back to Chicago from whence he came. The new owner of the popular resort has had some experience in the hotel business and is working hard to make the place one of the most popular iu the lake region. Waukegan Gasetts: Fo* Lake is dead. No longer do the high life seekers cavort about its shores and make merry while the drink that cheers goes the rounds. If you don't believe this go there some Saturday night or any other day for that mat­ ter and you will find things changed so that you would hardly recognize the place as the one-time care-free spot it was. Last Saturday the pro- ppijgtor of one of the resorts there was given over to the passing of some pessimistic philosophies on the fate of fortune when he had three couples at a dance which in years past was wont to draw to capacity. "Nothing doing any more," he averred. The prosecu­ tion of the saloon by Lake county's state's attorney is declared to be the cause of this deadness about the qM* popular resort. Speed Boats ? A law suit between a Fox river re- sorter and* a Pistakee lake resorter, which may be of interest to all who navigate or ride on the waters in this neighborhood, was recently decided in Chicago. The suit was for damages sustained in a collision which occurred last summer between the launch of the plaintiff and that of the defend­ ant in the southeasterly channel be­ tween Nippersink and Pistakee lakes. It seems that the plaintiff's launch, occupied by six passengers, five of them children, under the control of the plaintiff's fifteen year old son, was just approaching this channel when the defendant's launch, being then astern of the plaintiff's launch, ana being a much speedier craft, tried to . "/Li* } ^"s.-C";, •HI AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS DURING WEEK „ cut ahead of her and, as is often the I ITpMff AT f Afj|| INTPVPCT case in reckless attempts of that kind, "WTu vl LVvAL Hi 1 LiiLuI apparently miscalculated the distance or the time and collided with it and the trestle posts and other sub­ merged objects in the channel and thereby disabled her. The persons in the plaintiff's launch claimed that the defendant's launch kept on going and that her occupants laughed and joked about the matter and tendered no as­ sistance whatever, which was, of course, denied by the occupants of the other launch. After hearing all the evidence the court decided for the plaintiff and, while the court did not state it specifically, the judgment vir­ tually amounts to finding the defend­ ant guilty of carelessness and neg ligence--indeed, according to the plaintiff's witnesses--recklessness. The case ought to be an object les­ son to all owners of speed boats, who recklessly endanger lives and property and make river and lake navigation not only unpleasant, but frequently perilous. There seems to be too much recklessness, too much speed mania and too often an entire disregard of the rights and safety of occupants of row boats, sail boats and slow going launches. The fact that a vessel is highly equipped and capa ble of much speed does not give her any superior or paramount rights over slower or less equipped vessels. As a matter of fact the law is the other way. The more equipment a vessel has, the more care and caution she must exercise for the safety of other less equipped vessels. A sail boat, for instance, has the right of way over a launch. The Famous Players at -fblr: Air Dome every Thursday. EXCURSION TO CHAMPAIGN During Tractor Demonstration State Agricultural College at Plans are nearly complete for the big two days' excursion of farmers from McHenry county to the Illinois College of Agriculture and also to see the largest tractor demonstration ever held in the middle west. Two days will be necessary for making this trip, the 4th and 5th of August hav­ ing been selected as the most satis­ factory dates. The round trip fare will be about $7.00. All those who plan to go will meet at the Northwest­ ern station, Chicago, Illinois, about 8:30 a. m., August 4, and from there will go to the train that will carry them to Champaign. It will be well worth any farmer'? time and money to take a couple of (fays off and see the many important experiments that are being carricd on and the fine specimens of livestock that are being kept at the State Agri­ culture College for experimental in­ formation. In addition to visiting the State Agriculture College and ex­ periment station an opportunity is also given to witness the tractor dem­ onstration, which will be held at Champaign^ during the first week in August. Over forty different makes of tractors will be at work in the fielda plowing, harrowing and disk­ ing, and the greatest possible oppor­ tunity will be given to witness these tractors at work under like condi­ tions and find out the cost of operat­ ing and maintenance. Such an op­ portunity has never before been given the middle west farmers. The tractors are gradually finding a place on the average sized farm, and their use is gradually becoming more general thruout the west. Be­ fore buying a tractor, their ability to do the work economically should be carefully considered and the different kinds of work they can do is of great importance. The tractor that will prove most satisfactory will be the one that can he used for severaLdif- ferent kinds of work. The tractor made by the famous Henry Ford will also be on exhibit and. great things are being said about the remarkable work it can do. The excursion will come at a time when the farm work will be less pressing and a couple of days away from the farm will never be noticed, and a great deal can be learned from such an observation trip. Such a trip will be of great benefit to the boys and girls who intend later to attend the agriculture college or some other college at the University. Further particulars in regard to the time the train will leave Chica­ go for Champaign will be sent out from this office in a few days. If you are interested in any way in seeing the State University or trac­ tor demonstration send us a postal saying you will go on the excursion, as it will be necessary to have at least one hundred in order to have a special train.
