Excursion boats have been kept busy during the past week or more, altlio the real busy season will not open until about August 1. Good catches of blue gills are be­ ing made at Pistakee Bay almost daily and anglers are finding this a most popular place foe the sport. Large crowds of visitors enjoyed the week at our resorts. The" ex­ tremely hot weather is driving them out of Chicago and other cities by the score. The annual commodore's hall took place at the Pistakee Yacht club pa­ vilion last Saturday evening and, as usual, proved a gay event, a large crowd being on hand to enjoy the oc­ casion. F. H.

Reynolds, a Hebron black­ smith, has shod the horses for four generations of one family residing in the vicinity of that village. The deposits in the banks at Wau­ kegan went up $337,736 in the last two months. The Gazette of that city says that working men are saving money since the town went dry. Improvement of the principal high­ ways leading from Harvard and a concerted movement looking to the curtailment of the mail order busi- ss formed the main subjects for discussion at the last meeting of the Harvard Commercial and Farmers' club. v Woodstock will sell its electric light plant and the probable buyers will be the L. E. Meyers company of Chicago, whose business is the con­ struction and management of public utilities. The company proposes to pay $100,000 for what Woodstock has along that line, exclusive of the wa­ ter pumping department and wells. Harvard Herald: Young men em­ ployes of the Oliver typewriter fac­ tory, who joined the state militia and later were mustered into service as soldiers and are now enroute to Mex­ ico, will receive their pay during their absence the same as if they were on the job each day in the Oli­ ver factory. This act of patriotic generosity is characteristic of the Oliver officials, who have encouraged the young men in their employ to en­ list in their country's time of paril. Ralph Spafford, a prominent piano dealer of Antioch, was struck and instantly killed by a fast passenger train at a crossing near that village last Saturday afternoon. The victim of the fatality was crossing the tracks in a Ford when the accident occurred, the machine with its driver being carried several, hundred feet. Miss Baker, a friend of the Spafford family, had been riding with Mr. Spafford and had left the machine at her home only a few moments before the fatality occurred. She saw the accident. ' A serious automobile accident oc­ curred at the Main street crossing at Crystal Lake at 7:30 o'clock last Fri­ day morning, when an automobile in which George H. Helm and his daughter, Ruby, were riding was struck by a Chicago bound express train. The automobile and its occu­ pants were hurled fifty feet to the left of the track, completely demol­ ishing the car and inflicting serious injuries to Mr. Helm and his daugh­ ter. The daughter is the most seriously injured and is not expected to live, while the father will recover. The village of Grayslake was in darkness on Tuesday night of last week. At a recent meeting of the village board of that village the clerk was instructed to notify the Public Service company to cease furnishing light at the expiration of the present contract This the company did. The lights were turned on again the following night after an agreement had been reached between the electric, company and the village authorities to draw up a new ten-year contract. The village funds of Grayslake, since the town went dry,'are gradually de­ pleting until a point has been reached whereby expenses must be cut down. It is expected that the number of lights in the village will be cut in half, while many of the other appro­ priations are likely to be trimmed to a minumum. Richmond Gazette: "Hie following clipping was taken from the New York Times of recent date will be of interest to Richmond readers because Mrs. Thomas, who was Ruby Rot- nour, is well known here and thruout this circuit. She has already re­ ceived a considerable sum from the sale of copies of the song that ia rapidly becoming a popular favorite: "Mrs. Charles Thomas, whose rapid success in comic opera and musical comedy has been sensational, won added laurels with a new song, of which Mrs. Thomas wrote the lyrics the Leo Edwards the music. One night last week Mr. Edwards was dining with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas; between courses Leo sat at the piano and played a beautiful melody. Every one suddenly stopped dining. Mrs. Thomas was so inspired by the music that she sprang a surprise on the party by writing an appropriate lyric entitled "The Call of Loveland." Ed­ wards immediately had the number' orchestrated and on Monday night the new song was introduced by Mr. Thomas in Lew Fields' summer pro­ duction "Step This Way" at the Shu- bert theatre. Its success was instan­ taneous'." Plaindealer ada bring reaulta. THREE DEATHS REOCRDED JHrs. Klaaaen *nd Nfte Steven Paaa > : • ; > ' : :'fy :AwT-• Hum RoWwfttt Deafl Mrs. Ross Robison passed away at her home west of Crystal Lake on Thursday, July 13. She had been ill for* some time, altho not considered serious, and her death came as a great sh<Sck to family and friends. The deceased was an ardent worker in the M. E. church during her resi­ dence here and the sympathy of a wide circle of friends ia extended to the bereaved family. Mrs. John Klaftsen Mrs. John Kiassen died at her home here on Monday, July 17, 1916, She was a native of Germany and was married in Chicago on Oct. 24, 1897, coming directly to McHenry, where she has made her home up to the time of her death. She leaves one child, Agnes, to mourn her death, also three grandchildren. The funeral services were held at St. Mary's church thi$ morning, Rev. Edward Berthold, pastor of the church officiating. A large concourse of relatives and friends attended the funeral and the remains were laid to rest in St. Mary's cemetery be­ side her husband, who preceded her in death on June 24. N. D. Stevens N. D. Stevens passed away sud­ denly Wednesday noon at his home in Ringwood. yis death was due to • sudden at­ tack of appendicitis. "Nate," as he was familiarly called, w^ well and favorably known thruout the county and his death comes m m shock to the community. He leaves a wife and two daugh­ ters, Mrs. Edwin Johonnott and Mrs. W. H. Sanborn; one sister, Mr.s Pau­ lina Parks, living at Fiinesville, O.^ and one brother, Geo. A., living at Elgin. The funeral will be held at Ring- wood tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at two o'clock. The family have the sympathy of all. Mrs. Jane Stine Jaae Rtsmmel Wheeler Stute was born near Sandusky, Ohio, oh June 1, 1842. At the early age of seven years she was deprived by death of the companionship- and care of her mother, and after this sad event the father, with the family, moved to Dowagiac, Mich. Here she lived until she was thir­ ty years of age, when she was mar­ ried to John Wheeler, making their home at Lafayette, Ind. From this union there was born one son, Ross Wheeler, of the Ready Roofing com­ pany of this village, who mourns his mother's demise. After three brief years of wedded life John Wheeler predeceased his wife, who, after some years of wid­ owhood, married Ezra Stine in 1885. Mrs. Stine was taken sick June 18, when she was seized with a stroke of paralysis. Other strokes followed, but she lingered on till July 12, when she "fell asleep" in her seventy-fifth year. In addition to her sgn before men­ tioned, she leaves a sister, who was too sick to be present when the last tribute of love and regard was of­ fered. t The funeral. took place from the home of Mr. Wheeler on Friday of last week, July 14, the service being conducted by Rev. Seth Baker, pas­ tor of the M. E. church of Green­ wood. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holly sang sweetly. Burial was made in Wood­ land cemetery. * * SOIL IMPROVEMENT ASSN. 200 AT RICINC SUPERVISORS' BOAT SIDE AND PICNIC ARE MUCH ENJOYED " Planning to Hold Picnic !n (hi Ne^r Future ' McHenry business men are discuss­ ing a meeting to be held soon to con­ sider how best to secure the Soil Improvement association picnic to be held next fall. Every farmer, farmers' organiza­ tion and their families will be asked to co-operate. No admission will be eharged, the object being to get to­ gether. The date and place have not been set. The association will expect in­ vitations from several towns in the county for the holding of this big picnic and it is hoped that McHenry will secure the gathering thru eager competition. Just as we go to, press word ia re­ ceived as follows: The McHenry county community picnic will be held at Harvard on Wednesday,, August 30, 1916. The Soil Improvement association, Milk Producers' association, county board of supervisors, Commercial clubs, Holstein Breeders' association and other rural and city organizations are co-operating.

" •- Six of Hunter's Boats C&ry Pleas­ ure Seekers To Mineoia Hotel-- Others Go By Auto The annual boat ride and picnic of the supervisors of McHenry coun­ ty took place last Tuesday and every supervisor knows that Stephen H. Freund surpassed all records in the arrangement of plans and executing same. Early in the morning aatoa came and were parked in the village park, while boat after boat was loaded un­ til six of the Hunter boats were filled and twenty guests were left to be conveyed in cars to the Mineoia hotel at Fox Lake. After traversing Fox river and Pis­ takee bay the leaders pr6posed stop­ ping off at the old familiar stand, Ben Stilling's, and were chagrined to find that beautiful and commodious hotel closed. With their hearts in the right place and "their thirst still enhancing, they sailed on into Fox lake reaching the Mineoia hotel, where one hun­ dred and ninety-six guests were seat­ ed to enjoy a sumptuous dinner and to which all did ample justice. Sixteen supervisors, besides many prominent county officials with their families and friends, composed a jolly party, with no formalities nor after, dinner speeches, all anxious to spend the day, which was only too Short, exploring the beautiful lakes and feasting their eyes on the beau­ tiful surrour.dir.g3. The trip home was ideal and no­ body knew that the thermometer reg­ istered 100 degrees in the shade. The merrymakers knew that this occurred but once a year and were enjoying the treat to a finish? All left hoping our farmer super­ visor may still see fit to entertain his fellow supervisors each succeeding year. Besides being an active work­ er in this and the Milk Producers' association, Mr. Freund has to his credit six years of sterling service as a member of the board of super­ visors of McHenry county and his farm acreage and buildings show him to be an active farmer and milk prb- as well as an ideal host. . EASTERN STAR INITIATION Nuaerooa Visitors Preoent • Nearby Town* From WENTWORTH-DEARlH Belvidere Young Lady Married Woodstock B--inew Mm To The Woodstock Republican of last week reports Lou Dearth, member of the firm of Dearth Bros., proprietors of a popular cafe in that city, sur­ prised his many friends there by slipping quietly out of town and get­ ting married Wednesday. His bride was Miss Berate D. Went­ worth of Belvidere. Mr: and Mrs. Dearth left the following morning for Beverly, Ohio, whei'e they will visit the former's parents. The bride is a daughter of Jake Wentworth, formerly of McHenry, and has made many friends here dur­ ing pleasant vacations spent at the home of her uncle, W. D. Wentworth, m. will wish her happy days. . / Muzzle Your Dogs Public notice is hereby given that all dogs, running at large in the vil­ lage of McHenry from this date un­ til September 15, must bo muzzled, or same will be disposed of by our village policemen. The ordinance on this reads as follows: Sec. 5.

" Dr. D. G. Wells, Mayor. State Fire Inspector Here A state official named Dunne ap­ peared before the village board last Thursday evening and discussed ways and means of fire protection. He expected to visit every small .cor­ poration in the state, offering help and suggestions to school as well as Village boards to provide adequate Ways of fire prevention. The state jprovidee movies to show results of disasters and their prevention. He gave the village a thoro inspection before leaving. •' ' Don't Forget the White Sox As the Chicago White Sox game is drawing closer every day, too much advertising cannot be given the event. The McHenry; baseball club is an&ous to make the day the biggest in baseball that McHenry has ever seen and with this end in view all lovers of the sport are kindly asked to assist the club in making it such. Just keep the subject a live issue by talking it wherever you may be^ Every little helpa At a regular meeting Monday evening of the McHenry Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, the degrees were conferred upon two candidates, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wharton of Ringwood. The Chapter had extended invita­ tions to three of the grand officers of Illinois^but none were able to attend, as this is the busiest time for mem­ bers of the grand chapter. Woodstock Chapter must be given due credit for the goodly number that accepted the invitation extended to them. About forty of their Chapter and many from Harvard were among the out-of-town guests. Mrs. Mamie Hendricks, worthy matron of the Woodstock Chapter, Richard Bardwell, worthy patron of Woodstock Chapter, Sterling Betser, worthy patron of Harvard Chapter, and Miss Fannie Lillibridge of Har­ vard were among those escorted for­ mally. Flowers were presented in the West to the worthy matron of the McHenry Chapter, Mrs. Cl*ra Starritt, Miss Fannie lillibridge mm! Mrs. Florence Wray. Altho several of the offices were filled pro tem, it in no way detracted from the exceptionally good work for which this Chapter is sometirhat noted. At the conclusion of the work those present heard very interesting talks by the following Woodstock mem­ bers: -Mr. Smiley, Geo. Conn, Chas. Renich and several higher officers of the visiting Chapters. All paid Mc­ Henry Chapter gi'eat praise on the excellent exemplification of the work. Light refreshments were served. Bayley Stock Company at Central The Bayley Stock company returns to McHenry Sunday night, July 23, in the greatest of all farce comedies "The Three Twins." It is construct­ ed for laughing purposes only and it serves its purpose from start to fin­ ish. The company made a very fa­ vorable impression here two weeks ago and will be welcomed back. New vaudevillf will be presented between acts and special scenery used. Most of the members of the Bayley Stock company are favorites in McHenry, having played here on previous occa­ sions. J. Willard Bayley, Thos. Dodd, Etta De Doto, Thos. Coulthard and Ave Gordon Bayley have been seen here with the Flora DeVoss company and Harry Royale played here last aa Father Kelly in "Hie Rosary." Shoots Volo Man . The village of Volo came into the limelight again on Wednesday night of last week, when Frank Ross- deutscher, aged twenty-one, son of Dr. Rossdeutscher of Volo, was shot thru the right lung with a bullet from a 38 calibre revolver by Wilfred Wright, aged twenty, who has been placed under bonds for carrying a concealed weapon. The bitterness and wrangle grew out of rivalry for a girl to whom Wright proved most attentive. Word from the Lake county hospital is that Rossdeutscher will recover. Leaves Poisoned Pork A chunk of pork, literally covered with paris green, was left on the doorstep at * the home of Mrs. Beck- with one night last week, presumably to poison dome§ticated animals. Seri­ ous consequences might have resulted as most of us are fond of salt pork and actually thankful for donations along that line. The parties are known and, as this practice is strictly against the law, someone majr be made to suffer. Meets With Severe Accident Leo Meyers, six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Meyers, who re­ side just north of town, near St. Mary's cemetery, met with a serious accident on Monday. Childlike he meddled with the pulley used in oper­ ating the hay fork, the rope break­ ing two bones and badly bruising the hand. Dr. N. J. Nye was immediate­ ly sUmmoned and the little patient is comfortable at this writing. New Sprinkler At a special meeting of the village board last Thursday evenng a new sprinkler was ordered, which arrived Wednesday. It will be put into ser­ vice oiling streets immediately and an effort will be made to serve those who have been assessed fifst and any, surplus will be placed^ where moat needed. f Leave For Montana -M^L, Ott and Harvey Gardinier left Monday night for Montana. Mrs. Ott will leave Saturday morning. They will take up their home at Harl- eton. That success will follow them is the wish of McHenry friends. , • J M. E.

E. church social, given on • the pretty lawn at the home of W. D. Wentworth Saturday evening, was well attended. Those who patronized it were delightfully served and the committee placed $17.20 in the treas­ ury. E. M. Geier once more smashed the howling alley record on his own alley here on Monday evening of this week, when he hung up a high score of 276. Mr. Geier is just bound to get that perfect score and will never be con­ tent until he makes it. C v The McHenry band gav« cert on Water street last evening and, as usual, drew a large crowd. New selections were rendered, win­ ning much applause. The next concert will be given Wednesday evening, July 26, at West McHenry. McHenry picture fans were given their first opportunity of seeing, hearing and enjoying talking movies at the Airdome on Monday evening of this week. The novelty attraction brought out a good crowd and those present were pleased with the even- ing's entertainment. * 'f There wll be no auto races at El­ gin this year. This decision was reached by the directors of the Elgin Road Race, association when tile American Automobile association failed to grant a sanction of the races for the reason that militiamen could not be obtained to guard the coarse. The ice cream social, given by the ^ Young Ladies' sodality of St. Mary's church last evening was not duly patronized on account of the rainless thunderstorm. The young ladies haVe decided to hold a like sociable on the McHenry House lawn on Saturday evening of this week, July 22, and ex­ tend an invitation to all to attend. , Gilbert Howard was sworn in *s McHenry's motorcycle cop last week and went on duty on Friday morn­ ing. A few arrests were made the first two days he was on duty and as a result automobiles are passing thru town more carefully than ever he- fore. Cut-outs are closed and every­ one is parking their cars oa the rpitfc side. ' A checlc for $10 has been foi w&tded to the captain of Company G, I. N. - G., as the result of. last Sunday's game. The crowd did not come up to expectations and, after the expanses of bringing the visiting team to Mc­ Henry, together with other minor ex­ penses, had been paid, it was found that there remained iess than $10, but to show the soldier boys that they intended to do all that they possibly could, the dub forwarded the above amount. Y • mi "Her Awakening" by the FSflfa' DeVoss company at the Central open house on Sunday evening proved an intensely interesting attraction and was very capably rendered by the new company of players > that has been selected and put together by Mr. Rotnour. We believe that the com­ pany this year is the very strongest ever carried by Mr. Rotnour, every character in last Sunday night's dram* being a finished actor and •cues*. The specialty numbers war# also wnf good. I
