A "number of people interested have suggested to 'the members of the committee that this would be a fine thing and in order to get the feeling of the public in general to­ morrow night's meeting has been called. .* It is tfae desire of the committee that all business men of McHenry and Fox Lake and vicinity as well as property owners and people out for the summer be present at this meet­ ing to offer suggestions for such a picnic or celebration. It is the fur­ ther desire of the committee to make the event the DAY OF THE YEAR and this can be done with the co-op­ eration of our people in general. Attend the meeting tomorrow night and let the committee know your, suggestion. They'll appreciate it. . Capt. Tiebor's Seals This marvelous animal act is one of the features of the Sparks circus, which is billed to exhibit here to­ morrow (Friday), Aug. 27, and the following is the criticism of the New York Morning Telegraph of Satur­ day, Nov. 22, 1913, at which time these wonderful animals were play­ ing an extended engagement at all the largest New York City vaudeville theatres: "The past week the elec­ tric lights in front of the American Music hall have blazoned forth 'Capt. Tiebor's Seals' and they Served every kilowatt used to flash it. What im­ presses one most, after seeing the wonderful exhibition given by the seals, is the extraordinary patience which has been utilized by Capt. Tiebor to train the seals. Training horses, dogs and monkeys is easily understandable, but to take a quin­ tet of sea lions, performing out of the water, their natural habitat, and to put them thrti a course of stunts, including walking tight rope, play­ ing as a brass band, juggling rubber balls and other articles and even do­ ing comedy stunts, is almost unbe­ lievable, and for once that hackneyed phrase, 'Must be seen to be appre­ ciated' is apropos. One of the seals gets many laughs by his trick of ap­ plauding each stunt by the other seals. He does this by means of his flappers on the sides of the stand from which he works. Capt. Tiebor is a young chap of likable person­ ality and there is a cleanliness and neatness to the entire act that goes far toward making it an unusual an­ imal act and a great favorite with the ladies and children." Reckless Auto Driving Several cases of feckless auto driving have been reported during the past week or so. One day re­ cently a buggy occupied by three or four small children was upset at Volo when the driver of an automo­ bile hit flip rig. Fortunately the children were not seriously injured. While driving along the highway near his home one evening last week, Peter Diedrich narrowly escaped be­ ing run into by an automobile. Mr. Diedrich had quite a load in his rig when the near accident occurred. As previously stated, he was driving along when a small yellow car, of thte racing type, eame along at a mer­ ry clip. * Mr. Diedrich ptdled out just as far as he possibly could without endangering himself of tipping over. In passing, he declares, the machine came within a fraction of an inch of hitting his buggy.' At least it came close enough so that Mr. Diedrich was able to- slash the driver with hi^ whip. Mr. Diedrich has the driver's number, who he says resides at Lib- ertyville, and trouble is very likely to follow. School Opening - Profc A. E. Nye informs us that the McHenry public school will open the fall and winter term on Monday, Sept. J. J. McCarthy, the jani­ tor, is now busying himself getting the building and grounds in shape for the opening and when the nine o'clock bell calls the small army of scholars to their work on Labor day morning they will find the building in a most inviting condition. More will be said regarding the opening in next week's issue of The Plain- dealer. 1 Operation m Neck Florence, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kamholz, was taken to the West Side hospital in Chicago on Tuesday of this week, where an operation was performed on the child's neck. The little patient has been troubled with a wry neck for some time past and the operation proved very successful in eve^y way. She will be able to return home within a few days.

Schiller Bros,' new pickle factory at Richmond is now in operation and it is expected that 20,000 bushels of pickles will be taken in before the close of the season. Two hundred and sixteen acres are contracted. A new schedule of prices recently became effective at the Sowers bar­ ber shop at Wauconda, as follows: Shave, 10 cents; hair cut, 20 cents; children's hair cut, 15 cents.

Lake Geneva Herald: Last Friday night as the Chicago passenger was on its way to Lake Geneva it ran in­ to a flock of doves on" the outskirts of the city. Some of the birds were killed and, judging by the feathers which kept coming into the cab, En­ gineer Sherman thought many of them had been plucked. When he reached the end of his run at the Bay he was inspecting his engine and away down underneath he found a dove all covered with oil and dust. When he tried to catch it, however, it would not stand for that and flew away. Next morning it was seen sitting on a freight car apparently all right as the train -pulled out for Chicago. 'An automobile, driven by Miss Dorothy Lemmers of Woodstock, struck and killed Miss Mattie Rich­ ards of that city on Monday evening of this week, miss Lemfciers was driving around the public square at the county seat when the fatal acci­ dent occurred A coronor's jury, in­ vestigating the accident, returned a virdict of accidental death and ex­ onerated"'Miss Lommers --from all blame*. The accident was unavoid­ able. The victim of the accident was seventy-three years of age and has resided at Woodstock most of her life. Masons Enjoy Boat Ride The members of the Masonic lodge of this village enjoyed a boat ride to Fox Lake on Tuesday evening of this week. They left McHenry at five o'clock and stopped at the Mineola hotel at Fox Lake to partake of an elegant supper, which had' been pre­ viously arranged for. A moonlight trip around Fox lake was made be­ fore the homeward journey was started. They arrived in McHenry at the midnight hour. The occasion was one of the most delightful as well as enjoyable ever undertaken by the McHenry lodge and those who made the trip are not sorry !or ao doing. . Don't forget that The Plaindealer will print your legal notices just as cheaply aa any paper in McHenry county. . Chicken food Niesen's.

"The Million Dollar 3oll" Harvey D. Orr's big sensational musical comedy success, "The Million Dollar Doll," is the next attraction booked at the Central opera house on Sunday, August 29. This is one of the most widely discussed musical comedies of the day, pronounced by both press and public to be the most attractive farce comedy, along with catchy music and dancing girls, ever crowded into two and a half hours of solid enjoyment. Beautiful gowns, whistling music, a thousand laughs and the greatest singing and danc­ ing chorus in musical comedy, all go to make "The Million Dpllar Doll" the musical comedy sensation of the season. A big scenic production is carried, including special electrical effects and big novelty scenes. Taken all in all it looks like this big produc­ tion wileoblenfra mthafrmhtafr bin tion will be the one musical treat of the season. Seat sale open now at PeteBch's. Special prices for this engagement, only 60 and 76 cents for best seats. Social Wheel Mrs. H. C.

After the usual business session an opening song was sung, items of interest from dif­ ferent members present were . lis­ tened to, an instrumental solo was rendered by Wayne Foss and the Misses Flossy Conway and Dorcas Foss entertained the company with a very sweet vocal duet. Seasonable refreshments were served, closing an afternoon well spent. Tlie next meet­ ing will be postponed until Sept. 80. Sunday Schools £njoy Picnics The members of the Sunday school classes of the Methodist and Universalist churches enjoyed picnics during the past week. The children from the Methodist church held their outing at McCoilum's Lake on Wed­ nesday of last week, while the Uni­ versalist classes passed Tuesday aft­ ernoon at Emerald Park. The chil­ dren were chaperoned by Sunday school teachers of the two churches and both events were very much, en­ joyed by all. A Jolly Crowd at Dbnee A jolly crowd of young folks at­ tended the dance at Stoffel's hall last Saturday evening. The occasion proved an unusually happy one for those in attendance. Moore's orches­ tra of Woodstock furnished the mysic. Charlie Chaplin at the Air Dome every Tuesday. THREE BIG DAYS AT VOLO THOU) ANNUAL FESTIVAL TO BE HELD NEXT WEEK MARRIED AT WOODSTOCK Volo People Preparing to Entertain Immense Crowds Saturday and Sunday ̂ The great "Volo day" is approach­ ing. Preparations have been made to accommodate a record breaking attendance. The good tidings of this reunion of all our friends and neigh­ bors for'two days of unprecedented pleasures in the picturesque environ­ ments of that litle hamlet, Volo, is rapidly spreading thru all adjacent towns like wild-fire thru our western prairies. Apparently large delegations from all surrounding districts will sojourn towards Volo to participate in these joyful festivities. To make this com­ ing event memorable, the Volo ar­ rangements have surpassed all pre­ vious efforts and we are confident that the success, achieved with the always cerdial and much appreciated asistance of everybody, will eclipse all past results. Saturday and Sun­ day, Sept. 4 and 5, will undoubtedly be recorded in the annals of the town as one continual round of nov­ elties and delights. Chicagoans to Participate Special coaches will bring hun­ dreds of Father Epstein's city friends on the Saturday 4 o'clock train. A special parade of twenty gayly flagged automobiles for the ladies and ten gorgeously decorated hay racks for the men will be formed at Round Lake and, headed by Buding- er's famed Chicago band, and escort­ ed by mounted uniformed police, will proceed to Volo. After registration and appointment of lodgings to the guests, an elegant supper Will be served for all visitors. Grand Electric Illumination The grounds will be electrically illuminated by a private plant, espe­ cially installed for this occasion, cially installed for this occoasion, thanks to the big heartedness of our genial friend and general contractor, Mr. Henry Jensen, of Round Lake. The style of illumination is modeled after the "Midway Gardens" and will compare favorably with the great White City tower. Open Air Performances A large, commodious platform is in process of erection for open air dancing, pantohiime and vaudeville performancese. The very reasonable price of 50 cents a ticket for the two days' dancing will certainly prove an exceptional drawing card to our frolicsome young people. We want them to primarily enjoy and never again to< forget the occasion. The dancing will be interrupted occasion­ ally by comic numbers and songs by the Chicago-Englewood quartet. Special Features Special features will be the solemn church services on Sunday at 10 a. m., banquet at noon and supper in the evening, races, wheelbarrow spe­ cial, spoon race, potato relay, three- legged race, tug-of-war, clown drill, star drill, canes, doll rack, wheel, bal­ loons, refreshments--assorted and manifold. Baseball Game at McHenry The greatest of all will be the baseball game on Monday morning, at 10:30 o'clock, between Father Ep­ stein's boys, the EngleWood Council, K. of C., team and the splendid Mc­ Henry aggregation of players. It will be a hummer! No one in or around McHenry can afford to stay at home on Labor day morning. May they turn out in good numbers and heartily welcome this Chicago team, which has won two pennants whilst under Father Epstein's management in past years, and are prepared to snatch victory from McHenry's fast team. At least two hundred Chicago fans will accompany the team. To these guests of the day the Catholic ladies of McHenry will serve an ele­ gant dinner after the game at Stof­ fel's hall. Mrs. J. J. Miller and Mrs. Nick Justen have chaVge of the ar­ rangements and a number of young ladies will do the honors at the table. River Trip After the dinner the Chicago guests will make a motor trip up the Fox river and return to Chicago from Fox Lake station at 6 p. m. May this program meet with the approval of all our friends and we cordially request their kind co-operation to bring same to a most successful com­ pletion. A splendid drawing of the pro­ posed Borden park has been on ex­ hibit in the display window of Pet- esch's drug store during the past week or more. The drawing was ,*nade by H. C. Hettinger, McHenry's i ^landscape gardener, and, to say the least, it is a fine piece of work. Mr. Hettinger also designed the proposed park and if the plan is carried out as outlined by Mr. Hettinger McHenry will be given one of the prettiest little parks in McHenry county. The Borden company has already ex­ pressed its willingness to expend sev­ eral hundred dollars in bringing the park to a realization. Wedding of Miss Letah M. Page Comes as a Big Surprise ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALEB REPORTERS DURING WEEK Miss Letah M. Page, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Page, and Mr. Earl Allen Thomas, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Thomas, stole away from their respective homes last Saturday morning and journeyed over to Woodstock, where they procured a license to wed. At high noon on the ^ime day the two were quietly married at the Methodist parsonage at the county seat and soon afterward were on their honeymoon trip, which they are now spending in Wisconsin. The wedding was witnessed by Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Thomas, parents of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Fern Rog­ ers of Greenwood and A. M. Schiller of McCoilum's Lake. 4 The bride of the happy union was born and raised near McHenry, where she has, with the exception of a year spent in the East, passed her entire life. She is a graduate of the McHenry high school and is. a young woman of pleasing ways and high character. Since childhood she has been quite a worker within the cir­ cles of the McHenry M. E. ichurch and in this manner she has also en­ deared herself to many. The groom is the only son <of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Thomas, wha reside southwest of town. The courtship of the young couple dates back to the time that the family moved to this vicinity a few years ago. He is a young man of exemplary habits and thru his manly ways he has made many friends in McHenry and the surrounding country since coming here. Their friends here . extend them their heartiest congratulations. The Famous Players every Thurs­ day at the Air Dome. SIXTEEN ARE INITIATED • -"i *-* & : Sr- M "j St. Clara Court of Lady Holds Initiation Foresters K"v> \ •; . The largest class ever taken in at any one time was initiated by St. Clara Court, W. C. O. F., of this place at Weber's hall on Thursday of last week, when sixteen new mem­ bers were taken thru the work of the order. Mrs. Josephine Heimer, chief rang­ er, took charge of the initiation work which was performed in a manner that brought distinct credit to her as well as to the McHenry Court. The initiation took place during the afternoon hours, after which talks were made by Rev. Edward Berthold, Mrs. Immikus of Court No. 44, Chicago, Mrs. Anton Schneider and Mrs. Heimer. Refreshments, con­ sisting of ice cream and cake, were then served. In the evening cards and dominoes were played, followed by refresh­ ments, and this feature concluded one of the happiest days ever enjoyed by the McHenry Court. Under the leadership of Mrs. Hei­ mer the Court is growing quite rap­ idly and with the new members added interest has been created, which the officers as well as present members hope will eventually make the Mc­ Henry Court one of the strongest in this part of the state. They hope to initiate another and still larger class at a near future date. McHenry Racers Fall Behind Money Both Frank Justen and Otto Hen- ning, the two McHenry drivers to enter the Elgin road races last Fri­ day and Saturday, failed to get in on any of the money, altho the boys made a very satisfactory showing. Justen, with one of the lightest cars ever entered in any big race, exper­ ienced engine trouble and was able to make but eleven laps. Henning, driving a powerful Mercer, finished sixth in Saturday's races, which is indeed a good showing when one con­ siders the talent that he was up again. Frank Justen informs us that the experience was worth a great deal to him and at the same time hinted that maybe by usxi year he would have a car that would make the big fellows go some. Justen surely has an abundance of nerve and one surely must give the boy credit for entering a race where the odds were so much against him. Ellis Business College The Ellis Business college will soon remove from Town Block to its splendid new building just north of the Elgin postoffice. This will be the finest structure in Illinois for busi­ ness college use. Ellis college was established June 4, 1900, and has re­ mained constantly under the same management. It it endorsed by El­ gin's six State and National banks as a high-grade school. There are few, if any, states in the Union not repre­ sented by Ellis graduates. So pop­ ular has this school grown that many business men now specify Ellis grad­ uates when advertising for office help. Many new students are now enrolled to enter next Monday, Aug. 30, for the day or evening classes. Imported pure olive oil at C.

Mrs. Mary Schreiner, West McHenry, I1L The weekly band concert attracted a number of our people to the county seat last Thursday evening. The county fair at Woodstock is drawing its usual large crowds from McHenry and vicinity this week. We deliver our cream for parties and all special events in any part of town at wholesale prices. C. UntL McHenry ice cream has no com­ parison, because there is none as good, pure and delicious. C. Unti, pro­ prietor. The sidewalk on Elm street is be­ ing extended from Jacob Justen's furniture store to the end of the street. The laying of brick on the new vil­ lage hall addition was started last Monday morning and the work is progressing very rapidly. Miss Anna Weber is enjoying a well deserved vacation from her duties at the Smith Bros, store. Mrs. Martin B. Schmitt is taking her place. Four wagon loads of gypsies ; passed thru town Tuesday noon. They were of the usual dirty variety and their stops in - McHenry were very short. Mrs. C. W. Cropley of Solon re­ cently underwent an operation at her home. Drs. N. J. Nye and C. H. Fegers of this village were the at­ tending physicians. A large crowd of pleasure seekers was in town again last Sunday. Con­ sequently the hotel proprietors and passenger boat owners report big business for that day. The road races attracted a number of our citizens to Elgin last Friday and Saturday. While most of our people went down -via automobile, a few made the trip via train. A six and one-half pound daugh­ ter was born to Mr. and Mrs. James Brandt in Chicago last Friday. Mrs. Brandt before her marriage was Miss Elida Going, a former McHenry girl. A number of Dundee canoe en­ thusiasts shipped their water craft to this village the latter part of last week and from here made a trip to the lakes aad thence back ta Dttn- dee. Village Clerk W. G. Schreiner in­ forms us that he has secured the <w 1915-16 hunting license and same may be procured at his office in the store of Jos. W. Freund on the West Side. The mam streets of our village have been given their second coat of oil. The oil arrived the first of the week and the wagon was out distri­ buting the dust layer soon after its arrival in the McHenry station. 7T For the first time in the history of McHenry, both banks were open for business from 7:00 until 8:80 o'clock last Saturday opening. This extra accommodation should be appreciat­ ed by the patrons of the institutions. Petty thefts are still going on in McHenry. Wm. Simes is the latest victim, reporting the loss of an outer automobile casing from his barn on the Elgin road. The casing disap­ peared sometime between Saturday night and Monday morning. A vast improvement has been made around the Central opera house corner by the removal of the old hitching posts. Thru the removal of these posts the corner has been sud­ denly transformed from its way- back-behind-the-times to a real up- to-date city scene. Among the shows hooked at f| Air Dome of the Famous Flayers are The House of Temperley," En­ gland's greatest photo play; ~*"The Man on the Box," five reels, and Jack London's great -story, "The Sea Wolf," consisting of seven rods. These shows are put on at the reg­ ular price of 10 cents. "The Cry Baby" was presented by the Flora DeVoss company at the Central opera house last Sunday evening. The < crowd on this occa­ sion was not up to the standard De­ Voss crowd, owing probably to the fact that there is too much doing this week and the public cannot afford to take in everything. However, the show was a good one and was thttNK ly enjoyed by those present. \>Sl 111 VI ! >n 1 I
