Attendance Greater Than Ever The attendance in our high school has gone beyond the eighty mark, an increase of about ten over last year's attendance. One subject on the program has more than forty en­ rolled. Some classes were so large that it necessitated a division, thus placing an extra amount of work on the high school faculty. The high school attendance is just one-third of the entire school, which is a higher per cent than any high school on Record. The attendance by grades follows: Eighth, 35; seventh, 23; sixth, 23; fifth, 13; fourth, 16; third, 21; second, 20; first, 18. High school: Freshmen, 30; sophomores, 21; juniors, 18; seniors, 11; post grad­ uates, 1; total high school, 81. School Notes Teacher in algebra: "Give a rule which you find in algebra." Scholar: "The area of a circle if equal to the length times the width." Some how the freshmen seem to be a bit mixed up as yet, but of course you cannot blame them. Daylight hasn't dawned on those freshies yet, but delight certainly dawned on us at sight of them.-- Soph. Freshie to Soph: "Where do we get our algebra?" Soph: "Down at the hardware store."

Disposition on the part of the board to list the capital stock, surplus and undivided profits of all banks, less 10 per cent, served to bring bank officials before the board, which set yesterday as a day of hearing on this particular branch of assessments. Notices were mailed to all state banks, saying such #as the purpose of the board in order to reach a uniform assessment.*' The banks represented before the board yesterday included the First State "bank of Harvard, Dairyman's State bank of Marengo, McHenry County State bank at Woodstock, the State bank of McHenry, the State bank of Crystal Lake and the State bank of Algonquin. Board members and bapk officials participated in heart*te-heart talks with a view to agreeing upon an equitable basis, of assessment, the board not going on record as to just what action will be taken in the prem­ ises, but the belief is that capital stock, surplus and undivided profits of each bank will be included in form­ ulating assessment values and that a formal order to this effect will be en­ tered. Marengo and McHenry are the only towns still remaining where the board of review has not either wholly or in part finished its review. In the Ma­ rengo case the death of the assessor's wife delayed his work to a considera­ ble extent,- while McHenry made no return until last Saturday. Fifty schedules were then sent to McHenry and these have been returned and the number alotted to Marengo have like­ wise been acted upon, so that these are the two towns where the greater part of the work still remains unfin­ ished. Hebron, Burton, Chemung, Dun­ ham, Hartland, Nunda and Green­ wood have been entirely closed up in real estate and the other towns are well along toward completion so far as the board is concerned and the ex­ pectation is that adjournment will be taken next week, tho it may not be able to end its labors on tb*~7£h, as planned for some time. ** Many of those called before the board say Chairman Brotzman is the most exact and yet the fairest official who has held the post during their recollection. His natural bluff and sharp way of dealing with each tax­ payer appearing before him gives a first impression that is not pleasing, but before they leave the room they frequently compliment him for his fairness and his apparent desire to be equitable and square with them. Thos. Bower, member of the board, takes exception to The Herald's ac­ count of how he finds pleasure in writing poetry during his leisure time, asserting he has had no leisure time this year because of Chairman Brotz- man's disposition to virtually live in the room where the daily sessions are held, having his meals sent there and being on the job all the time. Mr. Bower, however, has written several poems that should appear in print, but his natural modesty and his desire to keep away from the lime­ light prevents this paper from pub­ lishing two or three poetical gems composed by the member from Rich­ mond. He says it is useless to insist on their publication, but that he may consent to their being reproduced on a typewriter for the personal use of two or three of his, friends, Mr. Brotzman being among the number.

An Immense Crowd In spite of the rain on Sunday and Monday an immense crowd of pleasure seekers left the McHenry station last Monday evening. The liveries and garages of the village had all that they could do to get thee people to the station, while hundreds who. passed the two days in McHenry walked to the depot. "Henpecked Henry" Pleases Henpecked Henry," a musical com­ edy in two acts, pleased a big audi­ ence at the Central opera house last Sunday evening.

The Lake county fair Will be held at Libertyville Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September $6, 17, 18 and 1#T The game of baseball between the McHenry and Wauconda nines on Thursday last, for a purse of $200, was won by the Wauconda nine by a score of 22 to 21. Our boys are eager for another chance at the victors. The picnic at Pistakee Bay on Sat­ urday last, by the Universalist Sab­ bath school, drew put an attendance of about sixty and the result was a very enjoyable time. The day was fine and there is no pleasanter place than Pistakee Bay for a picnic. Peter Wirfs of Johnsburgh met with an accident last week, which came near proving fatal. While shingling a building he fell from the roof, strik­ ing in such a manner as to break his shoulder, one arm and two or three ribs. We are glad to report, however, that he is slowly improving, with a good chance of complete recovery. C. C. Haskins has purchased of Captain French the line of steamers running between McHenry and Fox Lake and will hereafter run the same. He proposes to fit them* up in first- class style for the accommodation of the public and will spare no pains to please all who visit the famous hunt­ ing an£ fishing grounds of Fox Lake and Pistakee Bay. A new swindling scheme has been worked upon a number of farmers in this vicinity. A fellow comes around selling suiting very cheap, represent­ ing to the purchaser that they are smuggled goods. A few days later a man, representing himself to be the agent of a large tailoring house, comes around ajid offers to make up the cloth into suits very cheaply. The farmer gives up the cloth to the agent and that is the last seen of him. The Ladies' Aid society of the M. E. church will give an entertainment on Friday evening, Sept. 12, at the city hall.

Among other things she informs' us that she met thirty-eight of her relatives while away. She also enclosed a clipping taken from the Bridgeport (Wash.) Blade, which we herewith reproduce: "Mrs. S. Hartman and Mrs. Mary E. Coffman pleasingly entertained Friday afternoon at the home of the former for Mrs. Julia Bishop of Nebraska, who is visiting in Chehalis with her son, W. E. Bishop. A pleasant afternoon was spent at nee­ dlework and a dainty luncheon was served by the hostesses. The ladies present were: Mesdames A. H. Chit­ tenden, J. Schuss, A. Harris, J. T. Coleman, Van Aelstyn, W. J. Vaughn, D. Urquhart, J. R. Monfort, W. E. Bishop, Dr. Jeannie Lynch and the guest of honor, Mrs. Julia Bishop." "Wednesday afternoon of last week Mrs. W. E. Bishop entertained at her home on Quincy avenue for her moth­ er-in-law, Mrs. Julia Bishop. Roses were used for the decorations in the parlor and dining room. The center­ piece for the table was beautiful of moss and pink and white rosebuds, from which ribbons were extended to each place card, and tiny pink and white roses were placed around each plate. The guests were: Mrs. Van •Aelstyne, Mrs. A. H. Chittenden, Mrs. Mary E. Coffman, Mrs. Wm. Bruns­ wig, Mrs. W. J. Vaughn, Mrs. A. Har­ ris and Mrs. J. E. Leonard." Henning Again Forced Out Otto Henning, the expert machin­ ist at the Geo. A. Stilling garage and who has won considerable fame as an automobile driver, was again forced to quit the races at St. Paul, Minn., last Saturday, when he had trouble with his car. Henning, ever since en­ tering the racing game, has been fol­ lowed with hard luck, but some day (this luck is bound to break for him •and we expect*to see his name among the top notchers in the world of auto­ mobile drivers.
