HUntley is another town in this locality which voted itself dry two weeks ago. The wet and dry question w»s voted at Huntley two years ago with the result that the township, in­ cluding the village of Huntley, went dry by fifty votes. This yejir the dry majority-was sixty-six. According to the Hebron Tribune of last week, there are now three candi- ate» for the office of county sheriff, the last of the three to enter the race being Grant S. Randall of Hebron, who announced his candidacy last week. The other two candidates are Andrew, Henderson, Sr., of Crystal Lake and Roy Stewart of Woodstock. The Woodstock & Sycamore Trac- T^tjo» copapany, which during the past F', * eight years has been operating an ' interurban line between Marengo and Sycamore, has quit business and the work of tearing up the rails has al­ ready begun. The road, it is said, has never paid. The right-of-way will be reverted to the owners of adjacent ||property. The steel rails, which are of exceptionally good quality, will be sold and, according to Marengo re­ ports, are today worth about twice as much as was originally paid for same. The roftd was operated with gasoline. Arthur E Wynn, conductor on the theatre train which leaves Chicago at 11:45 each night, met with a very dis- \ "Stressing accident at Harvard one night ^ last week, when, in jumping from the . train * while it was in motion, he stepped into a hole, lost his balance ||and fell. His left arm was thrown "underneath the railway trucks and was ' so badly crushed that amputation of that member just below the elbow was found necessary. He was rushed to the Harvard hospital immediately after the accident occurred. IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Meets 111 Chicago For Election of OSeeni the 'Fox Rfver lmpiTOVe- ment association met at the Great Northern hotel in Chicago on Monday of last week, at which time election of officers took place and other mat­ ters of importance were discussed. The meeting was called firr 12:00 o'clock noon and after partaking of a luncheon the organization of a board of directors and the election of officers took place. The officers (elected were as follows: President, Chas. E. Reed; secretary, A. W. Gast; treasurer, J. C. Holly; supervisor,. Frederick A. Beller. • ~ t The board of directors consists of the following membership^: Dr. J. A. Craver, Chas., E. Reed, J. C. Holly, Everett Hunter, Otto F. Sohm, J. C. Nettnin and A. W. Gast. Most important of the business to be transacted at this meeting was the decision of placing an order with the E. Hunter Boat company of this vil­ lage for the construction of a weed cutter to be operated on Fox river here during the coming summer. The cutter decided upon will be along the same lines as the ones now in use by the U. S. government, but it will not be quite as large. The cut of the blade will be four feet wide and, ac­ cording to those who appear to <be in a position to know, the cutter will answer the purpose for which it is intended. It is the aim of the asso­ ciation to keep Fox river, from its mouth at German village' southward to the dam below this village, a dis­ tance of about six miles, free from weeds. The cutter will be placed into commission on June 1 and will be kept in daily service until the first of September. Competent men will be placed in charge of the weed destroyer and it is hoped that the first season's work will more than repay those who are working to make this improve­ ment possible. According to the manner in which the officers and members are being encouraged in this splendid movement, it looks as if at least seventy per cent of the property owners along this stretch of Fox river will come into the fold this year and that by the end of next summer all will have seen the benefits and not one of the property owners will fail to join the associa­ tion. Fifteen new memberships were received at the last meeting of the body and new ones are coming in right along. This is truly a fine spirit ajnd we can see where our Fox river will this summer present a beauty never before attained. * The next meeting of the association will take place at the Great Northern hotel in Chicago at noon on Monday, April 15, at which time important matters will be taken up. Anyone interested is welcome to attend this meeting, as any and all suggestions and ideas will be given careful and considerate attention. Those who have not joined the asso­ ciation and wish to do so may consult any of the officers. McHenry people may make their wants known to Everett Hunter at the E. Hunter boat factory or to Joseph C. Holly, the hustling cashier at the Hoy Bpypeg "GOING STRAIGHT" i , • . Bully, Good Play By the Flora -V«|Voas Company "Going Straight" will be the play by Miss Flora DeVoss and her popular players at the Central opera bouse Sunday evening, April 14. Mr. Rotnour informs his many friends here that he has by far the greatest Assemblage of players and vaudevillians that he has ever of­ fered the public. The company is just coming from the west, where it has done a record-breaking business. The cast of players in support of Miss DeVoss is all new to McHenry people with the exception of Miss De­ Voss, who will appear herself, and Mr. Rotnour is very proud of his vaudeville between acts, which em­ braces the team of Hart and Hart, David Curts, Thomas Broun, Miss Gertrude Gilbert and others. Special scenery is used for tho pro-= duction of "Going Straight" and Mr. Rotnour says the play, is a sure cure for the blues as the three crooks in the play furnish an abundance of comedy of the unexpected variety. Card Party Mrs.' Mary Green entertained eight mempers of the Altar and Rosary so­ ciety of St. Patrick's church at cards last evening- The receipts enriched the treasury one dollar. Those pres­ ent spent a delightful evening. This is the first of a series given by Mrs. Green as president of the society. May Go to France Soon Rev. J. R. Lonergan, formerly pas­ tor of the Catholic church at Cary and who is favorably known to many of our people, expects soon to be sent to France. At the present time he is acting as chaplain at Camp Grant. Since going to the camp* in> has been made lieutenant. ELELTIOH NEXT TUESDAY CLERK CONTEST WILL BRING OUT BIG VOTf V"' Two Candidates Are Making Thorn Canvass of Village--No Contest For Aldermanic Seats The annual village election takes place at the village hall next Tuesday ̂ April 16. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, there are but four offices to be filled this year, as fol­ lows: Three trustees and a village clerk. Owing to the fact that there are but three candidates for aider- manic seats, no fight will be waged for these Offices. However, there are two raten seeking the clerkship of the village. Wm. G. Schreiner, the pres­ ent incumbent, and Arthur W. Bickler aspire for these honors and as each of the two candidates has a large number of friends and supporters this contest is certain to bring out a big vote. The two men i in question are con­ ducting a clean-cut, gentlemanly cam­ paign and both are well qualified for the office they seek at the hands of the men and women v&fors of this village. The candidates for the members of the board are Peter J. Doherty, John R. Knox^ and Albert Krause. All of these mm are young and successful in their various vocations in life. They are of the progressive type and The Plaindealer feels certain that their election will mean a strictly business administration. The specimen ballots as well as official call for election appear «Ase^ where in this issue.

Minnie Schwalger of fcrystal Lake announced the marriage of her daughter, Clara to Michael G. Schaffer, youngest son )f Jos. Schaffer, who resides on Wau- kegan street in this village. The marriage ceremony was per­ formed at St. Thomas' Catholic church at Crystal Lake at eight a. m., the Rev. E. A. McCormick, pastor, officiat­ ing. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Leonard attended the couple. The bride was married in her trav­ eling suit of gray with hat to match and wore a handsome corsage bou­ quet of sweet peas. The couple left mmediately from Barrington to Chi­ cago to spend a short honeymoon. Upon their return they will com­ mence housekeeping in their newly furnished home at Terra Cotta Ave., Crystal Lake. Mrs. Schaffer for the past ten years has been chief operator for the Chicago Telephone company at Crystal Lake, where she won many friends by her courteous manner. Mr. Schaffer is a successful busi­ ness man of Crystal Lake, having conducted a blacksmith shop on Main street in that city for several years. Many friends in this village unite in wishing them happiness and pros­ perity. Your Soldier Boy The Woodstock Sentinel will pub­ lish an honor roll, .containing if pos­ sible the name of every soldier who has gone to the war, in a loyalty edition on April 25, 1918. Names of members of Company G and of men of the selective draft have already been secured, but the editor is mak- ng strenuous efforts to secure for this honor roll the name of every volun­ teer soldier-who has gone from Mc­ Henry county. This request is being printed in every newspaper in Mc­ Henry county, in the hope that rela­ tives or friends of all volunteer sol­ diers from McHenry county will be sent in promptly. Do not neglect. The editor wants every name, ex­ cept members of Company G and of the draft. He wants to make this honor roll complete. Send full name and branch of service in which soldier now is, also town from which he en- isted. DO IT NOW. Names must be received not later than April 22. Address The Sentinel, Woodstock, ill. Erects Two Beautiful Monuments J. H. Miller 4k Son have recently erected one of the finest monuments in this section to the memory bf the late Johnv Heimer in St. Mary's cem­ etery. The design is most artistic and massive two-piece monument, weighing over four tons. It is built of the famous Montello, Wis., granite, known to be the most beautiful and enduring granite in the world, of which this firm makes a specialty. For its lasting qualities it is unsur­ passed by any other granite known. They also erected a very appropiate one on the lot of Peter Miller of the same material. t " V. v< St. Mary*s Services St. Mary's church services will be conducted at St. Patrick's Cath­ olic church in this village at 8:45 a. m. and 10:45 a. m. next Sun­ day morning, * JOINT INSTALLATION Two. Lady Forester Courts Will In- M. -- The two lady Forester courts, St. Clara's and St. Patricia's, will hold a joint installation at Stoffel's hall on Thursday evening of next week, April 18. Preparations for the coming event have been going on for some time and as the event will be public our citi­ zens are assured of a treat on this oc­ casion. Naturally, the work of in­ stalling the newly elected officers of the two courts will take up the early part of the evening, after which, a program, consisting of readings, vocal and instrumentaUmusic, speaking and drills by the drill team of St. Clara's court, will be in order. This is-to be followed by. a social dance. The feature attraction of the even­ ing will be the drills and marches of St. Clara's drill team. The team has been rehearsing for the event for some weeks past and we are told that the exhibition will be the finest of the kind ever seen in this village. This is the same team which per­ formed at Johnsburg a couple of months ago, at which time visiting members of the society spoke most highly of their, work. The drills will be even more elaborate than they were on that occasion and a'treat is in store for those who turn out. As previously stated, the event will be public and everyone is invited to attend, but on account of the expense attached to same the small*admission price of 25 cents the person will be charged. In this manner the mem­ bers of the two courts hope to raise enough money with which to pay the hall rent and defray the other minor expenses attached to putting on the affiair. BUY YOUR COAL NOW Says Fuel Administrator And Keep Mines Running All Summer Hie Social The Social Wheel will be enter­ tained in thej home of Mrs. C. Rietesel on Fox street Thursday afternoon, April 18. Mrs. J. C. Holly, Pres. Mrs. T. J. Walsh, Sow ^ • I sell farms. D. F. Quintan. 1. Order your coal at once. 2. Place your order for your entire year's needs. 3. If your order is not accepted, re­ port to your local fuel chairman at once. If you want coal next winter, those are the three things to do to get it. The fuel administration will not hold itself responsible for the fuel supply of the state unless it is laid in now. If you have storage space for your year's supply take it all in now. If you haven't, try and make space. Fill up every space you can with coal, un­ til you have enough to keep you warm until March 31 next. The railroads were unable to haul the coal that was needed during last winter. If you want coal next win­ ter, you'll have to get it now. If you order now and take the coal as «||pon as you can get it, the mines will be kept running this summer and there will be enough coal to go around. In order to prevent the dealers from playing favorites and giving some of their customers all the coal they order and others none, the 'fuel administra­ tion has ordered the dealers of the state not to deliver to . any customer more than two-thirds erf his total re­ tirements of anthracite until all cus­ tomers have that much. They can then deliver what is left over, until each of their customers have enough to last them until March 31, 1919. Where not more than four tonB of anthracite are used-during the whole year, the whole order may be filled at once. The amount of anthracite coal which each dealer is to get has been fixed and there is small chance of its being increased. There will be almost no coke in Illi­ nois for domestic use and no Poca­ hontas coal, and consumers who have relied on them would be wise to place their order for Illinois coal at once. Illinois will get no soft coal pro­ duced east of Indiana. The move­ ment of Indiana coal into Illinois is restricted to the eastern part of the state only. The consumer, therefore, must be prepared to accept such soft coal from the dealer as the dealer has been able to secure from the producer. To the Legal Voters of McHenry I wish to state thru the columns of the McHenry Plaindealer that I will appreciate the support that you can give me at the village election April 16, 1918. That I have tried to fill the office of village clerk the best I knew how, but will try and make improvements on same. You will al­ ways be able to find me at my office, if not there will be somebody there to wait on you. Thanking you again for past favors and don't forget to mark a cross in the square opposite my name. , Yours truly, Wm. G. Schreiner* , PEOPLE SHOW PATRIOTISM THIRfe LIBERTY LOAN * - ̂ FAIGN OPENS CAM- Everyone Filled With Enthusiasm-- Committees Are Doing Splendidly Meeting Well Attended Never before in the history of the village has an event been ushered in more enthusiastically than the event rbf the third liberty loan, which opened last Saturday morning. A meeting of the various local com­ mittees connected with the launching and carrying on ,of the work of the third liberty loan was held at the. vil­ lage hail here on Thursday evening of last week, at which time it was de­ cided to hold a mass meeting at Sttof- fel's hall the following night. Altho the time was exceedingly short, the various committees went to work the following morning with a determination to make the occasion success. Owners of automobiles, who had previously volunteered their cars and services, started out from the village shortly after one o'clock that afternoon and by four o'clock that evening t\iere were few farmers residing in McHenry township who did not know of the meeting a't Stof- fel's hall, as the volunteer workers made it their business to see that every round in the efftire township was covered. The result of their work and that of those who heralded the news about the village was quite visible that night when a surprisingly large number of people gathered at StoffePs^ hall to listen to a program, which, in spite of the short space of time in which it was prepared, was well in keeping with the spirit of the day and we can safely say that it served well the purpose for which it was intended, viz., the boosting of the liberty bond issue. „ The McHenry Military band made its first public appearance of the year on this occasion by playing two se­ lections in front of the hall just be­ fore the meeting and also rendered several very appropriate and much appreciated selections in the hall dur­ ing the evening. It was truly a meeting where loyal­ ty and enthusiasm to the worthy cause shone out above everything else. Everyone seemed so willing and ev eryone just wanted to be doing some thing for the good of the cause. The meeting was called to order by Town­ ship Chairman T. J. Walsh, who told, in his usual clear and distinct way, the purpose of the meeting, and then introduced a little Uncle Sam. A true picture of the real Uncle Sam in the person of Master Elwood Win- field then proudly marched up the stairway leading to the small stage and rendered a recitation that was not only timely, but also served to further arouse the true American spirit that prevailed. Judge David T. Smiley of Wood­ stock spoke at some length about the present war, the conditions that con­ front us, the ways and means where­ by we *can all "do our bit" and, in short, covered all the important de­ tails connected with the present crisis. It was afternoon of that day before the judge knew that he was to speak in McHenry and therefore his talk » made from notations and not from a specially prepared Oration. However, his remarks were all well taken and we are sure they have al­ ready borne fruit within the bound­ aries of the township of McHenry. County Chairman Carl W. Stenger briefly told of McHenry county's al­ lotment of the third liberty loan and reported that the organizations thru- out the entire county could not be any more perfect. He felt certain that McHenry county would more than subscribe its allotment of about $800, 000, while he further added that he would be very much surprised if every township and community in the county did not go "over the top." He con­ cluded his part of the evening's pro­ gram in a trio composed of the Misses Lillian and Annabelle Heimer and himself, which rendered two very ap­ propriate vocal selections that were very much enjoyed by all present. Rev. M. J. McEvoy, Simon Stoffel and Prof. A. E. Nye also responded to the call from the township chair­ man, all of whom assisted greatly in bringing the event to a most success­ ful conclusion. The various canvassing committees started out the following morning and the very latest reports show that over one-half of McHenry township's al­ lotment is already in and that Chair­ man T. J. Walsh feels certain that our township will go "over the top" with­ in the next few days. This is indeed gratifying and those who came forth with their subscriptions and good will in making this showing possible are surely worthy of commendation. The Plaindealer hopes to be able to say to its readers in next week's issue that McHenry has over subscribed her quota. Will you all help to make this a reality? We know the proper spirit is here and that the good peo­ ple of McHenry township will do this. MR. AND MRS. C. B. HARMSEN Celebrated Their Silver Wedding Anniversary Friday Last Mr. and Mrs. Chas. B. Harmften, highly respected citizens of this vil­ lage, celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary at their home on John street Friday, April 5. Guests invited to help make the day memorable were Mesdames A. Wolff Peter Weber, Henry Antholtz, Peter Wirfs, Robt. Patzke, John Miller, Barbara Schiessle and Miss Clara Schiessle of this village and Mrs. Ed. Schuck and daughters of Elgin. At five o'clock all were seated at the table, where Mrs. Harmsen dis­ played all her culinary arts in her delicious and elaborate dinner. A carnation and fruit centerpiece with wedding cakes at either side made a delightful spectacle. Music was furnished by the victrola after the aughter subsided. The couple have tiled ill their present quarters, which is now mod- ernly improved, since their marriage and accepted congratulations there at a wedding dinner twenty-five years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Harmsen were pre­ sented with a purse of silver and many other gifts upon this occasion and those present left wishing them many more years of wedded happiness and assured them that a more pleas­ ant evening was never enjoyed by MAIL TO SOLDIERS ^Continued on last i*g«) Parceb Cannot Be Sent tt Europe Except on a Written Request Postmasters T.

HARTS CIURCI BURRS FIRE DESTROYS EDIFICE THIS MORNING Fire Discovered During Funeral Ser­ vices--Volunteers Succeed In Sav­ ing Other Buildings of St. Mary's Fire destroyed the beautiful St, Mary's church edifice here this morn­ ing and as we go to press nothing re­ mains of the once beautiful building but its bare walls and the brickwork of the steeple. The fire was discovered by Peter M. Justen, the West Side furniture dealer, shortly «fter eleven o'clock. The funeral services of Peter Scheid were conducted from the church this morning and Mr. Justen, who with his father had .charge of the funeral, had occasion to leave the .church for a few minutes before the end of the services. While at St. Mary's ceme­ tery making final preparation for lay­ ing the body at rest, Mr. Justen saw smoke pouring from the roof of the church. He hastened to the scene just as fast as a machine could take him there and rushing into the sac­ risty he called the pastor, Rev. Edw. Berthold, who at the time was in the act of blessing the body. In a cool manner the pastor told the large feath­ ering of relatives and friends of the deceased that the church was on fire and all left the building in good order. By this time the fire had gained con­ siderable headway and by the time the first hose cart reached the scene the flames had eaten thru the roof. When the fire cart did arrive and the hose connected to the hydrants it was dis­ covered that the pressure wasn't strong enough to carry the stream anywhere near the blase and before the engine could be started and a good pressure obtained the building was doomed. The gallant volunteer fire fighters then turned their attention to St. Mary's parochial school building and the rectory and fighting like demons and at the risk of their lives the brave men succeeded in saving these two buildings is well as the sister house. The origin of the fire will probably never be known, altho the supposition among sonie seems to be that it was caused from a defective chimney. The building was constructed in 1898 and only last week the last note against same was paid off, leaving it ree from all indebtedness. The church covered by insurance. Most of the contents were saved. All of the costly statues and other valuable altar property was saved as were some of the seat*. The big pipe organ yf&s lost. While it is a trifle early to give one future plans of the parish, it is al­ most certain that the edifice will lie, rebuilt. ••?s. . vt. i/" , v :'.X| Brought Here For The remains of Peter M. Scheid . were brought4 here for burial this • (Thursday) morning and taken to St. Mary's church, where the funeral ser­ vices were conducted by the Rev. Ed. ' Berthold, pastor. The remains were , laid to rest in St. Mary's cemetery. Deceased was a former resident of this village, having conducted a blade- smith shop on the West Side for a . number of years, afterwards mmrinsr l to Crystal Lake, where he was en- gaged in the same business until Us retirement. He has recently nade his home with a daughter at Elgin, where he passed away. His funeral here today was attended by many old friends and acquaintances with whom he was respectfully associated during his residence here. Numerous rela­ tives and friends accompanied the body here to attend the funeral. . School Children Parade ' 'H; On Friday previous to the laugh­ ing of the third liberty loan the fac­ ulty and pupils of the McHenry pub­ ic school arranged a liberty 4*y pa­ rade, which they carried out in the afternoon, the different floats being appropriately lined up voluntarily by Sergeant Abrons of Rockford, who was here on a visit. The parade was headed by the modern Paul Re­ vere, high school pupils and grades vying with each other in their dom- onstration of loyalty and patriotism. American flags were prominent in every float Prof. A. E. Nye and Us able corps of teachers as well as all who took an interest in the parade on last Friday afternoon are to be • commended for their effective spirit of enthusiasm in helping to boost the third liberty loan campaign, at the same time doing honors to themselves and our school. * X \ , 'a A War 9cm The pastor of the M.
