Invitation Extcnuu Business Men ' The Elgin Merchants' association . has invited the McHenry Business Men's association to be their guests ponent to find fault with ^is reports [Contributed] _ « T The campaign for the brace of state's attorney is on in earnest. David R. Joslyn made his first pub­ lic appearance before a crowd in his owner home at Hebron, Illinois, last j. riday night. The weather was ex­ tremely warm and a street meeting was held. Henry Turner, the super­ visor, was chairman. Judge Donhelly and Attorney Jas. F. Casey spoke briefly, eulogizing Mr; Joslyn,. expressing confidence in his integrity and ability, and claim­ ing his administration of the affairs of his office had been the most ef­ ficient in the history of McHenry o^unty. Mr. Joslyn's address was largely a defense of his work in conducting the affairs of his office. He exposed the falsity of the statements in many of the articles published by his op­ ponent, C. P. Barnes, and showed that he had followed the law as-laid down in the rulings of Attorney Gen­ eral Stead and that Mr. Barnes in hisJ zeal to deprive him of his job had published and circulated certain opinions by the attorney general and claimed that he had repeatedly re­ fused to accept them as the law, be­ cause he was'not and is not an honest state's attorney, when, in fact, these opinions of the attorney general were rendered in reference to a law that was only on the statute books for seven months during his first term. He also charged that while he was engaged in the Orpet trial at Wau- kegan that Barnes had • clipped the filthy articles published in the Heb­ ron Tribune and : sent them to the attorneys engaged in the trial and to the court officials in an attempt to discredit him and destroy his in­ fluence as an attorney in the case. He made the further charge that Barnes had attempted to convince his friend, Brotzman, supervisor of the town of Riley, that he had not accounted for $1110 which he had collected on a forfeited bond, and called the county superintendent, Shelton, and showed by him that he had never received the money, but investigation disclosed that this money was paid over to George W. Conn, who was then the superintend­ ent of schools, almost a year before Mr. Shelton entered upon the duties of his office. These statements Jos­ lyn maintained must have been made deliberately, as Barnes had certified copies of his reports which showed that George W. Conn had receipted for this money on February 24, 1910. The hit of the evening was made when Mr. Joslyn read an article written by Barnes four years ago and intended for publication. Joslyn was in the midst of his second cam­ paign and ^Attorney Charles Francis was his opponent. In this article Barnes extolled Joslyn's services as state's attorney, ridiculed what he called the feeble attempt of his op- mANs FOR SISTER ROUSE Call Por Modern Structure In Every Respect After considerable delay in secur­ ing plans acceptable on all sides to the building committee, reports are that the Sisters' house cannot be put off is Sisters are to come back again to McHenry.' From all indications the Ven. Mother is solicitous about the health and well-being of all school Sisters under her charge in the^ community and it is certain now that she will be pleased to refuse other applica­ tions pouring in for school Sisters if McHenry is able to give the Sisters a bright and cheerful home. The advis­ ory building committee is for quick action. Two meetings were held. S. H. Freund, who has been doing os much building in the past, is decid­ edly pleased Vith the blue prints, which call for a cozy two story brick residence with modern plumbing and heating as well as sanitary modern toilets for the school .children. To gain time the foundation will go up now. Estimates from contractors must be in by Aug. 12. In the mean­ time excavation will be done by M. Freund. The building committee made short work of the coal sheds last Tuesday. At the present time it is hard to say how much the improvements will cost The Rt. Rev. bishop, has ad­ vised Father Berthold, however, to interest the people of McHenry to make an unusual contribution for three successive years in order to meet the obligations. A subscription will be started as soon as the buildings are begun so that the finances of this year's under­ takings will all be paid for by 1919. The advisory ^building committee: Math. Blake, Peter Diedrich, John F. Freund, Mike Freund, Ben Hiller, Michael Justen, Jos. Justen, Geo. Scheid, Ben Stilling, John Stilling; superintendent, S. H. Freund,. and Rev. Edw. Berthold, pastor.

Brownsville, Texas, July 25, 1916. Dear Mother and Father--Received your most welcome letter; also one from Gerald and Dick and The Plain- dealer. How is everyone up there this hot weather? How is "Dad" getting along? Tell him I am fine. I also had a letter from Clyde Zoia last week, saying that a fellow that went to school with him at Notre Dame lives in Brownville, but I haven't had time to look for him. Will Mead of Raymondsville was down to see me a couple of weeks ago, but I was on fatigue, so he left word he would come again, but haven't seen him yet. , You asked how many years I had to stay. Well, I guess three anyway, as some of the fellows whose three years were up had to stay four on ac­ count of this trouble. * ^ The other day the infantry, Battery D and 5th F. A., which is a mounted battery, had a "hike" to see who were the most fitted for service and we out-walked all of them IY2 miles out of about eight, but we were all in when we did stop and just dropped when we had our first ten minutes of rest. Am sending $ome pictures of Ed. Gramawell of Arkansas and myself. John Gurell, Henning's brothin-in- law, took them. Give Nellie one. 1 sent Gerald his. In some places in Mexico the chil­ dren were dropping dead in the streets from starvation. It is quiet­ ing down here now and we are having it easier. There are fifty-two truck drivqps here from Cleveland, O., driv­ ing trucks. Have about sixty army trucks here. We may get to see Panama yet. Well, I will qlose for this time.

The t»oy: Committed to Elgin Wm. 'Ensign, whose parents reside near Lake Defiance, came into town Tuesday carrying a revolver and in­ tent upon killing his brother, Charles. The facts were reported to Officer Revor, who, placed him under arrest on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. He was taken to Wood­ stock and for sane reasons given a hearing before . Judge ^Smiley, who committed him to the Elgin Insane hospital. Constable Walsh took him to Elgin a few years ago and it was hoped 4-hat his ideas were righted. However, the excessive heat may have effected the brain, causing the re­ lapse. -- I .... Horses Die From Heat During the terrible heat of last week five horses died in the vicinity of Johnsburg. A valuable mare, owned by Thos. Bolger, living south of this village, was also overcome and died in a few hours. Drivers should take every precaution in caring for horses during hot weather. Too much new grain in the ration i§/$aid to prove fatal.

On the shores of Crystal lake the famous Paulist choristers are camp­ ing for thirty days with their leader, Father Finn. Everything goes like clock work at the camp. The ice com­ pany's grounds and building have been charitably turned over to the famous singers. A spacious swim­ ming section has been staked out and roped in and a pier built to anchor their boats. .News comes to us that McHenry may have an opportunity to hear the world famous-choristers if some preparations and inducements could be made. An open air musical program given by the boys, who travel to Europe to capture the Paris prize, would be an event in McHenry that would pack the town with peo­ ple. Let us have the choristers in McHenry. * Entertain Card Club Mr. and Mrs. Jas. T. Perkins invited the members of their card club to their home on Main street to help make merry on Saturday evening, July 29, their eighth wed­ ding anniversary.
