The event will be held at StofFel's hall and, according to present plans and preparations, it should terminate into an occasion of unusual pleasure for those who attend. Those having the event in hand are so arranging the program for the evening that young and old can enjoy the event with equal pleasure. The eld time dances will be intermingled With the new ones, which will give all present an excellent opportunity of making the Thanksgiving dance of 1916 one of the mo^t pleasant affairs of the winter season. - The club has given several very successful dances in the past few years and the players as well as the members of the club trusty that the attendance at^toffel's hall next Wed­ nesday night will surpass anything held at this popular dancing resort in years. While it may not be generally known, it would probably be well to state here that the club is still slight­ ly in debt. A few bills contracted dur­ ing the playing season of 1916 still remain unpaid and it is the earnest desire of the club as well members of the team to see all outstanding bills paid up before the arrival of the new year and it is with this good inten­ tion that the boys have set out to see their fond wishes, fulfilled. As stated in last week's issue of this paper, the young ladies of the village have again consented to assist the boys and will have charge of hall decorations.

Lang and Dr. Strang Art Killed at Waukegan Monday Morn­ ing--Auto Hits Electric Car The hearts of many McHenryites were saddened Monday morning when the news of the tragic death of 'Atty. J. I. Lang and Dr. Strang of Rich­ mond was received here. Both of the men who figured in the tragedy were well and favorably known to many of The Plaindealer readers. Especially so was Atty. J. I. Lang, whose profession made him a frequent visitor to this village, where his clients were quite numer­ ous. Mr. Lang was a member of the Mc­ Henry. county bar and has practiced law at Richmond for a number of years. Dr. Strang came to Richmond about twelve years ago, where he had come to be known as the leading physician of that place. We herewith reproduce a clipping taken from Tuesday morning's Wau­ kegan Gazette, which gives the fatal­ ity in detail: "Two more names were added ; to the toll of death, attributed to the most tragic automobile season in the city's histoqry, now drawing to a close, when an automobile and a limited train met in collision on the Belvidere street crossing of the west line of the Chicago & North Shore electric rail­ road at 9:15 o'clock this morning. "The victims of the accident were: Dr. Henry Strang, Richmond, HI., skull fractured, lived twenty minutes; Joseph I. Lang, lawyer, Richmond, 111., concussion of the brain, lived one hour and fifteen minutes. "Failure of the two men to notice the approach of the car, their view being obstructed thru the presence of side curtains on their machine is be­ lieved to have been the cause of the accident. "Both men were thrown a distance of seventy-five feet after being hit, Striking on their heads, the skulls be­ ing crushed. The machine, a Max­ well roadster, was almost completely demolished. Portions of the ill-fated car were thrown a distance of 100 feet Witnesses of the aceident declare that both of the occupants of the ma­ chine were virtually thrown thru the top of the automobile by the force of the impact. The bodies hurled at least fifteen feet into the air and fell beside the tracks in a Crumpled heap. "The limited car which struck the automobile was northbound and driv­ en by Motorman Litchfield and was in charge of Conductor Russell. Both men declare that they saw the ma­ chine before the auto reached the crossing and sounded the* whistle of the car continually for several sec onds. The motorman also declares that he set the brakes when he saw that the collision was imminent, but the action was too late. "Axel Helander, residing at 1138 Belvidere street, was at his home about 200 feet from the crossing and witnessed the accident from one of the windows of the house. His at­ tention to the impending accident was created when he heard the sounding of the whistle on the train. "'The two it en in the machine ap­ parently were unable to hear the whistle on the train thru the noise of their motor and in the presence of the side curtains. It is also prob­ able that their vision of the track was impaired by the curtains," Mr. Helander stated today. " 'The automobile was moving at a fair rate of speed and pulled onto the crossing simultaneously with the ar­ rival of the car. I don't believe that they ever knew what hit them as in my opinion they made no effort to stop their car and started to cross the tracks with a feeling of security.' " 'When the train hit the automo­ bile the men thru the force of the im­ pact were thrown thru the top of the machine at precisely the same time. Both of the bodies went high into the air and doubled up as they struck the ground. I wa» among the first to reach the scene.' "The electric car proceeded several hundred feet past the crossing after the collision and then backed up. A call was sent in for the Conrad & Wetzel ambulance. The two men, still alive, were placed in the ambu­ lance and the big auto raced to the Jane McAllister hospital. "Dr. Henry Strang passed away just as he was being carried thru the doorway of the hospital. His body was again placed in the ambulance. His companion, Joseph Lang, was placed on the operating table, but an examination by Dr. F. C. Knight proved that he was beyond surgical or medical aid. He died at 10:30 o'clodt. The heads of both of the victims were crushed. They remained unconscious from the time of the ac­ cident until their' death. "The two men were coining to Wau­ kegan to spend tie day in the county court when the, accident occurred. JOHNSBURG CHURCH FAIR To Be Held at Pariah Hall Next Week There Pto annual fair, given by the par­ ishioners for the benefit of St. John's Catholic church, will be held at parish hail fit. that place on Sunday and Thursday of next week, Nov. 26 and 30. The pastor as well as his flock are very enthusiastic over the prospects of this year's affair and some have even predicted that the event will be more successful than last year, when all previous records at fair holding were smashed. Even the little folks of the parish, are showing unusual interest in the coming fair, and bar ring unfavorable weather conditions, record breaking crowds are looked for.' The grand opening will take place at one o'clock next Sunday afternoon, while in the evening the doors will be open at 7:00 o'clock. A card party will take place on the opening day, beginning at two o'clock. Wednesday afternoon will be set aside for the children and the little folks will be entertained to .their heart's delight at that time.' Thursday, Thanksgiving day, will be the big day and preparations are already being made to take care of an immense crowd. A chicken dinner, beginning at eleven o'clock, will be served on that day, for which a charge of 35 cents per plate will be made. In the evening, beginning at 4:00 o'clock, a delicious supper will be served at 25 cents per plate;. Chance book raffles will take place every day. As Christmas is only a short way off this will give one an opportunity to select gifts suitable for that occasion. , The Johnsburg folks extend a hearty invitation to the people of Mc­ Henry and surrounding towns to be their guests on the days of the fair, especially Thanksgiving day, and as­ sure everyone cordial treatment and fine time. SCHOOL PLAY A SUCCESS ITEMS OF LOCAL AS PICKED UP BT PLUHBEAIill REPORTERS DURON} WEEK Given at School Auditorium On Fri­ day" and Saturday The school play, "Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop," given by the pupils of the McHenry public school at the audi­ torium on Friday and Satudray even­ ings of last week, under the direction of Maurice A. Baker, was a grand success and attended by large crowds each evening. The music, dancing and singing were highly creditable and the cos­ tuming and staging were complete in beauty and comic. Each group was drilled to perfec­ tion in its production aiid was en­ couragingly applauded. Miss Irene Harruff as Fi-Fi won much applause. Winifred Bradley as Bonnie took one of the leading roles in her usual unpretentious way, while Mame Barbain as Inkspot kept the audiences in ecstacies with her clever impersonations. Each principal took their parts perfectly and with the large number in each group it was wonderful to witness eaeh so fault­ lessly produced. Miss Flossie Conway displayed excellent ability as pianist and each group and principal are deserving of special " mention should time and space permit. Farmers' Institute Meetings We urge upon the farmers of the county the importance of the insti­ tute meetings that are to be held at Harvard, McHenry and Richmond on December 5, 6 and 7, respectively. Your local officers have not attempt­ ed to make an entertainment for you, but more especially to take up live practical subjects. The best speakers qualified to handle them have heen obtained. We earnestly solicit the co-operation of every auxiliary organ­ ization of school, church and civic nature that these meetings may raise the standards of the better agricul­ ture and at the same time increase the efficiency of all forms in con­ structive community life.
