At the Central Sunday Evening Ofttimes showmen, in describing the great laughing success of some play in a certain city, will use the slang phrase, "Knocked 'em off their seats," referring to the hilarity of the audience. To "Henpecked Hen­ ry," the famous musical comedy, which will be seen here at the Cen­ tral opera house on Sunday evening, Sept. 5, belongs the honor of really accomplishing this feat. During a recent engagement in Nashville, Tenn., a large, fat man, sitting on an aisle well down in the parquet, became so exhausted with laughter at the many ludicrous situations that he slipped from his seat to the floor and the ushers had to assist him to rise. Dont miss this greatest o£ nil girly fun shows. Numerous Attractions Sunday That McHenry was not lacking in attractions last Sunday everyone in (he village as well as the visitors in town are willing to testify. The cir­ cus gave two performances, both aft­ ernoon and evening. Besides this a baseball game was pulled off at the ball park before a good sised crowd in the afternoon, a musical show held the boards at the Central opera house and the regular shows were put on at the Air Dome in the evening. All this in a town with a population of 1000 people. Sister Mary Henry Sister Mary Henry, who was for­ merly Miss Anna Bolger, visited at her home south of town last week. She is at present located at Presenta­ tion convent. Chicago* and «*pects to continue the work of teaching there at the opening of the school year. sKASfeSn- • •> -• •• rV <•* "'l •my:- " Miscellaneous Assortment of News Items.

One hundred and fifty-four saloon­ keepers, who failed to get a license, have closed their- places at Milwau­ kee, Wis. So common hav% burglars become at Harvard that the hardware stores in the city report an unusual sale on revolvers and other defensive articles. Woodstock has a new furniture and undertaking establishment with an automobile hearse in connection. The new place is owned by F. C. Slavin and E. V. Eastman of Hebron. The C. & N. W. railway company has promised the people of Wauke­ gan a new depot for next year. Work on the new structure will be­ gin early next spring, so 'tis said. On account of the prevalence of the foot and mouth disease the Lake county fair has been called off and will not be held this year. The Pal­ atine fair has also been postponed to Oct. 14, 15 .and 16. At a special election held at Algon­ quin on Tuesday of last week the cit­ izens voted in favor of bonding the village to the extent of (2,000 for the purpose of purchasing land for a public park. As a result of the vote the village will purchase the twelve acre Mineral Spring grove there. "Red" O'Brien, Woodstock's classy wrestler, woi) a bout from Andy Burns of Chicago at Elgin one night recently. The Woodstock grappler got his first fall in five minutes^ while it took him one minute longer to get his man the second time. Ralph L. Peck, receiver of the Pal­ atine, Lake Zurich A Wauconda rail­ way, has mailed to the note holders of that railroad an offer to exchange their n<ftes for receivers' certificates. Accompanying the letter is a copy of an order of the court authorizing such action. It is the aim of the re­ ceiver to pay the interest due on all notes and exchange the principal for certificates that will have first lieu on the property. Providing the note holders accept the proposition it will be a good way out of the difficulty. The receiver's notes are better secur­ ity than the former notes. The completion of plans for Mor­ ris & Co. for the building of a large t>ld-style wooden ice house at Fox Lake, in which Norway pine and Douglas fir are specified as the species to be used, is a subject of general interest in the Chicago lum­ ber market. Inquiries sent out some time ago called for approximately 500,0000 feet of Norway pine and a large quantity of heavy Douglas fir timbers, to come from the Pacific coast mills. The bulk of the timbers will be 6x12s from 44 to 48 feet in length, to be used as studding and in the construction of the elevators and conveyors. " Harvard Herald: Negotiations be* tween officials of the Harvard Com­ mercial and Farmers' club and H. C. Beardsley have been closed, Mr. Beardsley turning over his lease on the front part of the first floor of the Wellington buidling, which will be used as a rest room and headquar­ ters for the association and for peo­ ple coming to Harvard to trade. The rest room idea has been dominant with local business men for some time and its culmination followed, quickly upon the formation of the new association, which takes in busi­ ness men, farmers and others. The Beardsley store is an ideal location and it will be fitted up with the needed conveniences. Doubtless a month will intervene before it will t>e in readiness. Waukfegan Gazette, Monday, Aug. 80: Judge Clair C. Edwards in the circuit court here this morning en­ ured a judgment of (1,500 against the defendants in the famous Volo rail riding case and as a result it is expected that the parties named will have to pay the judgment at once or face a term in the county jail, as the judgment was tort. The matter has been pending for some time. One of the defendants, Lavina Raymond, died some time ago and as a result of her death the administratrix of the Raymond estate, Mrs. Mary Lusk, was named in the judgment today. The other parties named were: Ann Stadtfeld, Emma Stadtfeld, Mary Sabel and Alma Walton. WALSH NOW POSTMASTER Took Possession of McHenry Office , C-Qb Wednesday Morning Breaks Into Kingsley Flat A. H. Kingsley, former landlord of the hotel bearing his name at Pista- kee Bay, but now a resident of Chica­ go, informs us that his flat was en­ tered one day recently and several hundred dollars' worth of silverware and other valuables taken. Mr, Kingsley's family spends the summer months at one of the Lasch cottages on Fox river here, so the flat has been unoccupied during tfe# put two months. • !' '• II..11P 1 \ irjf-• - p It"-*:-» • ' * * / , , . U' " wsaf: rs,:* '"Willi, '"i1" It is now Postmaster T. J. Walsh, if you please. Mr. Walsh assumed this new title on Wednesday morn­ ing of this week, when he took for­ mal possession of the McHenry office, he having received hi* commission last week. With the change in postmasters at the East Side office also comes the close of a long and bitter fight for the plum. It will be remembered that there were two candidates, for the posjtmastership in McHenry soon after the last presidential election. The two men to circulate petitions and thus place themselves in the run­ ning for the office were T. J. Wals'n and John E. Freund. For a while everything appeared very quiet on the battle lines and the first inkling of a skirmish came when it was quietly noised around that John E. Freund had received the en­ dorsement of Governor Dunne and the recommendation of Senator J. Hamilton Lewis. Everything was quiet until May 13, when the an­ nouncement was made, that Joseph W. Freund had been named as the new postmaster. The news came as a big surprise to everyone interested in the affair and no one could under­ stand just how it all came about. At that time Mr. Freund received his official notification of the appoint­ ment and no sooner had this been done before numerous protests were on their way to Washington, D. C. Just what the protests were we ha-e never been able to learn, but it is reasonable to believe that they were to the effect that Mr. Freund did not reside within the delivery of the Mc­ Henry office and, as a matter of fact, is a patron of the West Side post- office. At any rate the protest was strong enough to cause the big fel­ lows at Washington to give the mat­ ter their just and serious attention, Which has finally resulted in the nam­ ing of T. J. Walsh as the McHenry postmaster, and thus comes to an end one of the liveliest postmaster- ship fights ever waged in the village. In an interview with Mr. Walsh the writer was informed that the present help at the office will be retained for the time being at least. His aim is to give the patrons of the office the very best service at his command. Mr. Walsh has always proven a most accommodating man and his busi­ ness-like methods and pleasing man­ ner will make him a popular as well as efficient postmaster, we are sure. His many friends in McHenry as well as thurout the entire county are congratulating him on his success in his fight for the plum and it seems to be the unanimous opinion that the postmastership of McHenry went to the man who was justly entitled to it. A Card In stepping from the postmaster- ship of McHenry, I take this means of expressing my sincere thanks to the patrons of the office for the fair and courteous treatment accorded me during the four years that I have served in this capacity. - From the day that I stepped into the office un­ til Tuesday night of this week my chief aim has always been to per­ form the duties of the office to the very best of my ability and I will leave it to the patrons to decide whether or not my efforts in this di­ rection have met with their approval. Once more thanking everyone for the many favors bestowed upon me, I am, Respectfully yours, J. C. Holly. COBS HERE NEXT THURSDAY BIG CROWD IS EXPECTED THE GAME AT Cubs First Appearance In McHeinry Coupty Since Days of • Old Oliver Team- ; Next Thursday in snstihsr big for McHenry. On this day the Chi cago Cubs will be entertained l^y our people and at 3:00 o'clock in the aft' ernoon will meet the McHenry Sox in an exhibition game at the local base­ ball park. The Chicago Cubs haven't ap­ peared in McHenry county since the days of the Oliver typewriter team at Woodstock, when they met that aggregation at the fair grounds in the county seat city. The Cubs have always had a large following of friends and supporters in McHenry and thruout the county who will turn out in vast numbers to greet them here next Thursday. Just what arrangements have been or will be made by the business men have not as yet been decided, altho it appears to us that they will, in all probability, close their respective places of business and go out to the game. In booking the . big leaguers, Mana­ ger R. B. Walsh of the McHenry Sox has accomplished, a feat that few1 towns the size of McHenry has or will ever undertake and in every town in McHenry county baseball fans are already talking of the com­ ing of the Cubs to McHenry. Those who have taken it upon themselves to bill the various towns in McHenry and Lake counties have brought back home with them many favorable reports and unless all signs fail the crowd at the Cub game here next Thursday wiU surpass, by far, the White Sox turn-out of last year, when fourteen hundred, people paid their way into the game. The big fellows vfill arrive on the morning train, after which a pro­ gram, now. being arranged, will be carried out. This will keep the vis itors busy up to the noon hour, when dinner will be partaken of.' With dinner over the athletes will be carried to the ball park in auto­ mobiles and the game called as above stated. The general admission for this spe cial occasion will be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. As the expense of bringing the Cubs to McHenry is large, the manager of the McHenry club will insist that every child will pay to enter the grounds on this day. The manage­ ment has indeed been good to the little folks all season, allowing them to see all games free of charge and in appreciation of this the children should willing pay their two bits on the big day, NEXT THURSDAY. School books, tablets and pencils at McAllister's. THE GREAT VOLO FESTIVAL This Coming Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 4 and 5 No Robberies Reported A number of unsuccessful attempts at house breaking were reported by our citizens during the latter part of last week. Among the homes visited by the night marauder were those of W. G. Schreiner, Mrs. Alsena Smith, W. D. Wentworth and F. L. McOmber. A suspicious looking character, who had been hanging around the show tents during that time, was rounded up and ordered out of town on Sunday evening. While the local authorities had no proof that he was the man who had been doing the miBcliief, suspicion rested so heavily upon him that it was thought best to get him out of town without further delay. Circus Held Here Over Sunday ^parks' circus, which exhibited here last Friday, was forced to re­ main in town until about midnight Sunday. The circus was billed into Palatine for Saturday, but owing to the prevalence of the foot and mouth disease around that vicinity the show owners were notified to stay away. A consultation of the owners and business managers of the circus was held on Saturday and they decided to remain in McHenry and give two performances on Sunday, which they did. The special circus train left McHenry that night for Harvey, Hk, where they showed on Monday. The Famous Players at the Air Dome every Thursday evening, Riv­ erside park. School supplies at McAllister .̂ 7 - • Circus Was Good Sparks' circus, which exhibited in McHenry last Friday, proved the big­ gest and best of its kind to exhibit in McHenry in twenty-five years or more. The circus is a railroad show and travels from place to place in a train of thirteen double sized circus cars. The show arrived in town about four o'clock last Friday morn­ ing and was greeted by a number of our people, who were at the railroad yards to watch the unloading. The parade in the morning was excep­ tionally good, the horses, wagons and animals being in fine shape, while three bands made things pretty live­ ly. A large crowd of country folks was in town in. time to see the pa­ rade, while a good sized crowd saw the afternoon performance. In the evening the spacious tent was well filled, it being estimated that no less than two thousand people paid their way to the performance. At any rate, it was the largest crowd that has gathered beneath any canvas in McHenry in many, many years. The trained sea lions, the elephant act, the wild animal acts, the trapeze work, the bareback riding and the numerous other acts were rftt high- class and everyone who attended any of the performances in McHenry vent away well pleased. "Henpecked Henry" If play goers with an ingrowing grouch will take it to the Central next Sunday evening, where Halton Powell's famous musical comedy, "Henpecked Henry," will hold forth for one night only, they will find a sure cure and immediately come to the conclusion that the man who in­ vented laughter wrote the play. It is entitled to the blue ribbon in the musical comedy class. An especial feature is made of the magnificently costumed chorus. The Last Week This is the last week of the sum­ mer season in McHenry, along the river and at Pistakee Bay. Most of the cottage owners will pack up and leave for their winter homes this and next week, while a few will remain with the hope that the weather man will send us a nice, long, warm fall. Imported pure olive ofl at C. Unti's. Master Perfect Readiness and Miss Elegant Efficiency are cheerfully waiting at the Volo gates to extend- the glad hand of cordial welcome to all who wend their way to this elec­ tric garden of pleasure, delight and manifold novelties this approaching Saturday and Sunday. Whosoever comes Saturday will require no spe­ cial inducement to come Sunday. Ip, fact, it will take a Goliath or Her­ cules to keep him away. Remember, also, our dances are under strict su­ pervision and one ticket is good fpr both days. The Volo September feast has become widely known, pop­ ularly patronized and is immensely enjoyed by the residents of this en­ tire vicinity, as well as the several hundred Chicagoans, who will arrive Saturday and participate in the im­ posing carnival parade. The one-act comedy, "Hans Bungspiegel," will be among the many vaudeville performr ances; als9 the charming panto­ mimes, "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Nearer My God to Thee." The solemn Sunday services commence at 10:00 o'clock a. m. More Than One Thousand People is the advance estimate of the atend- ance at that much discussed baseball game at McHenry on Monday morn ing at 10:30 o'clock between Father Epstein's Chicago boys and the fast McHenry team. There certainly will be some excitement and an ideal ex­ hibition- of the national game. A grilling contest is assured. Be on deck to root for your favorite team, as the 300 visiting Chicago fans will not fail to contribute their quota of good cheer and friendly encourage­ ment. They'll pull hard for a decid­ ed Chicago victory. A sumptuous meal will be served at Stoffel's hall immediately after the game by the ladies and young ladies of St Mary's to all who wish to dine there before returning to their homes. Once again a good, hearty welcome is extended to all our friends and neighbors by the Volo ar­ rangement committees.

The meet­ ing is called for the purpose of talk­ ing over plans for the holding of a community celebration, or picnic, to which all residents of McHenry, Fox river, Pistakee Bay and Lake and Fox Lake will be invited.

It will be re­ membered that a similar event was held here eight or nine years ago, at which time over one hundred boats took part in the parade and thous­ ands of people were in McHenry to celebrate the building of the Fox river dam. Be present at the meet­ ing tomorrow night. Knox Reunion A pleasant family reunion was held at Terra Cotta on Sunday last, when the descendants of John and Mary Knox, deceased, gathered at) the old homestead, now owned and occupied by M. Knox and family, to spend the day together. When the guests arrived the hostess and her daughters had everything prepared for the comfort and entertainment of all concerned and, to say the least, it was all enjoyed and appreciated by those present. The first meeting of this family was held three years ago. Of the original number the union has lost two members, Sr. M. Henry of Presentation convent of Chicago and Walter Bolger, whose death occurred last year, while two new members have been .added, Maria Gertrude Knox, born Nov. 15, 1914, and Mrs. R.

The weeds and tall grass on the Y p east side of the river landing up to m the approach of the bridge are not only an eyesore, but dangerous as ' well. In this, the day of "Safety First," the authorities cannot be any »•••£ too careful in keeping these danger- ous places clean and free from all foul weeds. In fact, the public de­ mands that this be done. . ® ,V V-S.&. Tt -silt i ?;•
