Ia ;, Held--State Officers Are Present--Talks Worth While Flora DeVoas Co. Sunday Night Never before in the history of the Flora DeVoss company has there been assembled greater dramatic and vaudeville performers than the present season. They are to give one performance at the 'Central opera house next Sunday evening, July 16, with Miss Flora DeVoss per­ sonally appearing in the part of Frances Ward in "Her Awakening." Miss DeVoss will be accompanied by a cast of well known popular players, including the following: Richard Lloyd, Ted Newman, Chas^Becker, Dave Lewis, Jack Lane, Misw* Louisfe Gordinere, Miss Elsie Griffen and the Colton family of three famous fun-makers, singers and dancers Her Awakening" is an unusual play with - a peculiar plot and has side­ splitting veins of humor running thruout. The story, in part, is^as follows: Frances Ward, a pretty young woman, petted by society and luxury, is by her extravagance and selfishness running her husband fast into bankruptcy. He pleads with her from time to time and endeavors to make her realize his precarious circumstances, but to all his plead ing she turns a deaf ear, and con­ tinues her wanton waste of money. An old aunt, with whom she lived prior to her marriage, refuses to loan her more money. Her sister, much the same nature, decides to marry Frances' brother-in-law, which adds more family trouble. The maid has saved a little bank account and that has been spent, more automo­ biles have been delivered and no money and still she continues her mad rush of extravagance unmindful of fleeting time. Finally she decides to call upon an old friend and borrow the money, with the result^ that her husband demands to know from what source she has secured such a large amount. She refuses, but is later forced to tell. From this time on one of the prettiest domestic comedy dramas is portrayed, introducing eleven characters. The play abounds with side-splitting comedy, stirring situations and climaxes. The advance sale of tickets are now selling. Breaks Arm at Ball Game Walter Warner, catcher on the Mc­ Henry team, broke his arm during the game here last Sunday afternoon, when he was struck with a pitched ball. Warner retired from the game immediately, but did not know un­ til the following day that the acci­ dent caused a fracture of the boae.; An X-ray examination revealed this to be a fact and as a result he is now laid up with the injury, which will keep him from work for at least four weeks. Walter was one of the most popular players on the team and his many friends in McHenry will be' sorry to learn that his arm was broken. The accident has caused his decision to retire from for all time to come-. / v / lee Cream Social Tlpp members of the M. E. church will serve ice cream and cake on W. D. Wentworth's lawn Saturday even­ ing, July 15. Short program. Come. FOR SALE--Strictly fresh sterile eggs. Geof* Kuhn, McHenry 806-M-2. 7^. - . . - . . . Saturday evening, July 8, was one of the most memorable in the history of McHenry Chapter, Order of East ern Star., For many weeks the of­ ficers have been under the instruc­ tion of their grand lecturer, Mrs. Florence Wray, preparing for this official. visit, which proved to be one of the largest and best ever held outside of the largest city Chapters. The local Chapter extended invita­ tions to the following guests of honor: Mrs.. Nellie S. Humphreys, worthy grand matron of 0. E. S. of Illinois; Mrs. Amalia Hewhl, right worthy grand trustee of the general grand Chapter of the O'l E. S.; Mrs. Nettie C. Kenner, grand secretary of the O. E. S. of Illinois; Mrs. E. ftfae McRae, a past worthy grand matron of Illinois; Mrs. Jessie A. Dumser, grand representative of the O. E. S. of Connecticut; Mrs. Vivian C. Scott, secretary of the board of grand ex­ aminers of Illinois, and Miss Fannie Lillibridge, grand lecturer of the O. E. S. of Illinois. These guests, with the many others, numbered about one hundred and fifty. Other Chapters which were well represented were4: Elgin, Ravenswood, BaYrington, Pal­ atine, Harvard, Woodstock, Norwood Park, . Wauconda, Richmond, Lady Washington and Bethel. When the guests arrived at the hall they found that/the members of the decorating committee had out­ done any and all decorations of the past. The American flags were t^ie principal decorations, which were hung and suspended so artistically that each and everyone fully felt what "Old Glory" means to every American citizen and especially when all rose to join in our national song ami after hearing Mrs. E. Mae Mc­ Rae deliver so beautifully the famil­ iar poem, "Your Flag and Mine." The work opened as promptly as possible, this Chapter conferring the degrees on two candidates, Mrs. Mabel G. Johnson and Mr. Win. F. Cowen. After the Chapter had been opened the guests of honor were escorted formally. The worthy grand mat­ ron was the first to be presented by Conductress Florence Wray and As­ sociate Conductress Martha Page. She was presented with a beautiful white flower basket filled with sweet peas and 'pink snap dragons. The others were presented and escorted according to rank and all received a most cordial and sincere welcom from the worthy matron, Mrs. Clara Starritt. The initiation was nevpr more im­ pressively and beautifully exempli­ fied than on this occasion. Ea^h of ficer made special effort to excel in the delivery of their part off the work, thus bringing the work as a whole up to the best. At the conclusion of the initiation the associate matron presented the worthy grand matron with a beautiful piece of pottery, a large Teco vase, made at the Terra Cotta works, which fact made it especially valuable to the guest. Her response and words of appreciation will never be forgotten, as people rarely have an opportunity to listen to remarks that are so full of things worth while. She has already made about two hundred official visits this year and has every opportunity to see the best work, but her reference to the work she witnessed in McHen­ ry Chapter made each officer feel that their efforts were worth while. She remarked that she had never seen better work, that the work was almost perfect. ^ She also paid Mrs. Wray great praise for the manner in which she had instructed the Chapter and also remarked that Mrs. Wray was one of the most efficient grand lecturers of the grand jurisdiction of Illinois, which is the largest grand jurisdic­ tion of the O. E. S. of the world. The secretary, Alice Waite, then presented Mrs. Wray with a vase of the Teco ware with words and ex­ pressions of appreciation, to which Mrs. Wray responded in a pleasing manner. Mrs^ E. Mae McRae then gave re­ marks. She was especially pleased to visit this Chapter, as both she and Mrs. Scott were members of the board who examined Mrs. Wray, and therefore felt an especial interest in the results of her instruction. Mrs. McRae termed Mrs. Wray a self- made grand lecturer, as she had never attended grand chapter nor but one school of instruction. Most lecturers attend these annual gatherings sev­ eral yean before attempting such a test. The remarks by Mrs. Scott and Miss Lillibridge were words of praise for the work, which was as near per­ fect as has ever been exemplified. Miss Corabel McOmber received a very special recognition from the m^L|uests, as she filled her station per­ fectly and n m rmry unusual manner. Miss McOmber may well feel proud of her words, as the grand officers when visiting a Chapter, jiever make mention oii any one officer un?»33 COU' sidered pr ftct. The many visiting worthy matrons ahd worthy pattons were excused frpm remarks as i the hour was so late. The Chapter was then closed in regular form. Light retreshments, consisting of coffee, sandwiches, olives, pickles, ice cream and cake, were carefully pre­ pared by the refreshment committee. The chairman of this committee, Mrs, T. J. Walsh, proyed most capable, this great number was as easily served as tho they had but their own Chapter. A social time followed the refreshments and the writer truly believes everyone met everyone else, as the members surely proved their ability as hostesses. At a late hour the guests departed and an evening closed in the history qf McHenry Chapter which will never be forgotten. The McHenry Chapter will have as their guests Monday evening, July 17, Woodstock Chapter, Elgin Chap­ ter and the following grand officers: Mrs. Emma T. Adams, associate grand matron; Mrs. Katherine Camp bell, grand conductress, and Albert Daniels, associate grand patron. All members are requested to be present. CASTOR ADAMS CALLED Laat af Pioneer . f. Johnsburg Died, at his home in JohnslAfrg, 111., on Thursday, July 6, at 2:00 a. m„ Castor Adams, at the age of eighty-four years. Castor Adams was born at Hear­ ten, Prussia, in the year 1832, and came to this country during the summer of 1841. In consequence of coming to New York City harbor during the summer months, he en­ countered very few storms and there­ fore the voyage was made in thirty- eight days. . ' From New York to Chicago he traveled by rail thence with oxen and wagon to Johnsburg, where he met but two settlers, namely, Nicholas Frett and Jacob Smith, both of whom precede him in death, he being the last of the three original settlers to succumb. The trip^fcook many, many days, there being no roads to lead him nor nign boards to guide the early settlers. In 1885 he was united in marrikge to Anna Huemann at Johnsburg by the Rev. Fr. Karolus. She came to this country with her brother, ar­ riving at the same port as did Mr. Adams in the spring of 1853, after a voyage of sixty-three days, during which indescribable hardships were endured.. They thanked God for a safe journey and started With oxen across the country, settling at Johns­ burg; where she met Mr. Adams, and two years later their marriage took place in the little frame church there, which is now replaced by one of the grandest edifices in . this state out­ side of Chicago and in which mass was celebrated on October 30,, 1915, in honor of their sixtieth wedding an­ niversary. Friends and relatives prayed that this charitable, old man might live to celebrate his seventy fifth anniversary, b^t God's will be done, and he passed peacefully away after an illness of less than two days' duration, leaving the aged wife, five children, twenty-one grandchildren and four great-grandchildren to mourn his loss.1 The children surviv­ ing him are Peter Adams of Rich­ mond, Wm. Adams of Pistakee Bay, Mrs. Anton Muellenback and John Adams of Adams, Minn., and Mrs. Emma Miller of Johnsburg. The de­ ceased members of the family are Elizabeth, Eva, Willam, Jacob, Nich­ olas, Joseph and Mary. A singular instance now days is that he has always resided on the original homestead.

Mr Adams was one of the first stockholders of the Johnsburg Creamery company. He was ever ready to respond when asked to as­ sist in church or village affairs and was one of the donors of the present land comprising church property. He was the oldest lining settler in Johnsburg, always laboring hard in making his farm interests a sucess and thus being able to share with fel­ low emigrants food and shelter need­ ed in those pioneer days. His, funeral services were held at St. John's church in Johnsburg on Saturday morning last, July 8. Sol­ emn requiem mass was celebrated by the pastor, Rev. Wm. Weber, assisted by Rev. Geo.
