Mrs. McConnell was the wife of Harold St. Clair McConnell, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S, McConnell of Woodstock, and the marriage was performed while the McHenry county man was encamped near the southern city. The husband recently returned from overseas service. Jack Nicoloff, a foreigner employed at the Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock, was last Thursday found guilty of contributing to the delinquency of Marjorie Netzel, an eighteen-year-old girl of that city. The case was heard by County Judge Charles P. Barnes. The sentence imposed was a fine of $800, together with a sentence of one year in the • county jail.

She was found in Chicago and returned to Woodstock, The enterprising people of Wau- / coada and vicinity, who have never "slipped up" on any sort of a proposition, are exerting their efforts to- - wards the location of another factory in their village. The American machine tool engineering works, now lo^ cated in Chicago, is the concern thev and California - Rev M. W. Barth, who from January, 1901', to November, 1907, had charge of St. Mary's parish in this village, passed away at his late home at Sierra Madre, Calif., on Sunday, April 6, a telegram from the west bring this sad news having been received by Rev. Edward Berthold, pastor of St. Mary's church here, the first of the week. The deceased will be favorably remembered in McHenry, not only by his former parishioners, but also by the citizens of this village and surrounding community as well. Rev. Berth's first charge was at South Chicago, where he built a most beautiful church edifice. He was next transferred to St. Theresa's parish, Chicago, and when his health began to fail him he asked for some country charge, with the result that he came to McHenry. Soon after his arrival her* he began to improve and as tlfne" went on it seemed that he had recovered completely. A few years later another breakdown was experienced and when it was found that good care and medicine had little or no effect he decided to accept the advise of his physician and go west, which he did. Since locating at Sierra Madre he built a small chapel and here continued to read mass until a ^jhort time before his death. As the information regarding his last illness is very meagre we are unable to give our readers more definite details regarding the beloved pastor. McHenry friends extend their heartfelt sympathy jto the bereaved ones. A high mass for the former pastor will be read by Rev. Edward Berthold at St. Mary's Catholic church at >8:00 o'clock on Saturday morning of\his week. r~5r VICTORY LOAN WILL OPEN ON AlPRIL *t SCHOOL ELECTION APlftt* /ft ili ajre after if the deal goes thru that village will be given an institution which is now and will continue to give employment to a large number of men.

Reports from Wauc#nda are also to the effect that a big boom is sure to be experienced at their tile factory just as soon as building operations are resumed in the larger cities of the country. AH in all, it looks 'as if Wauconda is to be heard from some day and from the enterprise that has been shown by the people of the village and community that village is entitled to all the good things that may come her way. May Waucond »*s ambitions soon be realised is our sincere wish. Only One Ticket Filed* With Jaa.

Joslyn of Woodstock la Named County Chairman--W. F. Vogt Local Chairman Preliminary steps ^ for the launching of the next liberty loan drive ill McHenry county have already been taken and from now until the opening of activities, which, according to present plans, will be on Monday, April 21, the various organizations will be kept busy laying out their work for the campaign, which promises to be one of the biggest ever attempted. Atty. David R. Joslyn of Woodstock has been named county chairman to succeed our hustling townsman, Carl W. Stenger, who has so creditably filled the office during the last three drives. Mr. Joslyn has already accomplished considerabW work preparatory to the opening of the drives and, according to information from the county seat, a perfect organization thruout the entire» county has already been effected, j W. F. Vogt, the wide-awake and hustling West Side druggist, has been named chairman for the village of McHenry and the territory adjacent, with F. G. Schreiner as the publicity man. Clayton Harrison is chairman of the Ringwood district, while S. W. Brown will handle the publicity end there: At Johnsburg Anton M. Schmitt is the appointed chairman and John A. Miller, director of publicity. The various chairmen will appoint their workers at once so that everything will be ready for the "go" on Monday, April 21. The amount of the fifth liberty loan has not as yet been made public and therefore the quotas cannot be given at this time, but, according to information at hand, this matter will be taken care of within the next few days, so that every working unit will know exactly the amount of i that confronts them. The people of McHenry township have never failed in any of the pre vious drives and it is safe to predict that we will not be found wanting when the coming drive comes to a close. However, it takes the united efforts of every citizen of the township to put this important work over and the three chairmen, with the workers that they will appoint, sincerely t^ust that the public will give them its support, Hhus making the task a comparatively easy one. The Plaindealer, as in the past,%will keep our people informed as to what is being done in furtherance of the coming drive and will also report the progress of the campaign whan once started. Easter Dance An Easter dance will be held at Stoffel's hall on Monday evening, April 21.

Joseph Neuman passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Anton Schneider, on Water street on Thursday morning of last week, after an illness of several weeks' duration. During the early part of the year her husband suffered a severe illness and no sooner was he able to be up and around when Mrs. Neuman was taken down, the strain of the weeks of care of her husband ' bringing about a complete breakdown. She was at once removed to the home of her daughter, where, after several weeks' suffering, she passed away. Elizabeth Schaefer was born at Felz, Kreis Lutzerat, Reg. B. Trior, Germany,-on June 18, 1848. During the summer of 1867 she came America, being accompanied to this country by her parents *nd other members of the family. \ They came direct to Chicago.

SEEKIRGLARGER QUARTERS *• Of 'Cl; MAY BUY OR BUILD V ^NEW HOME "4 Riverside Howe Among Buildings Now Under Consideration--Will Tax Books Are Returned . - The tax books for the township of McHenry, which during the past few weeks were at the West McHenry State bank, were returned to the county treasurer's office at Woodstock on Monday of this week. The new tax collecting system here proved very satisfactory, nearly $40,000 being collected, while a delinquent tax of about $4,200 was returned. Mr. Stenger informs us that the delinquents are mostly out-of-town people who own property along the river and lakes. Very little delinquency exists among the permanent residents of the township. This is indeed a gratifying report, especially when! it is considered that this was the first attempt to collect our taxae the new system. Notice' A special meeting of the McHenry Universalist Church society will be held on Saturday, the 19th of April, at 8:00 o'clock p. m., at the church parlors for the purpose of taking into consideration the repairing, renting or selling of the church parson* age on Lot Eight (8), Block Twentyone (21), in the Village of McHenry, irest side of Fox river, Thomas J.

Schmitt, proprietor of a billiard and pool room bearing his name, moved his family from the flat over his place of busi ness this week. The contract for the remodeling and building has been let to H. J. Schaffer and work on same will begin shortly. According to the plans, a 24x30 foot two-story addition is to be constructed on the rear, while a modern new front will also be put in. As stated in these columns a few weeks ago, the second floor, when remodeled and enlarged, will be occupied with one* of the very latest and most improved sound-proof bowling alleys, which the proprietor hopes to have in and ready for business on or about July 1. The new front will be of plate glass and metal finish. The old wood awning will also be taken away and replaced with a more modern canvas . sun shield. Mike Degen Home Michael Degen, son of Mr. and. Mrs. Henry Degen of this village, arrived home the first of the we&. Mr. Degen arrived in this country from servioe in France about two weeks ago. The young man has been in the thick of some of the most important struggles in which Americans were engaged and in proof of this he now carries some very pronounced battle scars. The Plaindealer hopes to be able to give its readers a story fcom Mr. Degep in a future issue. Mrs. E, W. Howe v Mrs. E, W. Howe, one of McHenry's old residents and who for many years conducted a millinery parlor here, passed away at her late home on Green street on Monday of this week, following several months' illness. The funeral took place from the home at two o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon. Obituary next weelc. Buys Overton Property Fred A. Beller, we, are informed, has purchased of Overton & Cowen the property on Pearl street known as the old Karges homestead. Sir. Beller being out of town this week hinders us from getting his future plans with the property. Meet There Tonight Altho it has not been made public until recently, the Knights of Columbus of McHenry are looking for a new home and from the enthusiasm that has been shown among the members bf the McHenry council indications are that before another year has passed the local fraternal society will be housed fn its own quarters. Some time ago, when the subject was first discussed at a regular meeting of the McHenry'council, so much interest was manifested by those present that the proposition was brought up time and again until finally a committee was appointed -to ascertain just what might be accomplished alohg this line. We are informed that' several buildings and building lots in McHenry were suggested for the purpose and the committee had even gon^ so far as to price various pieces of property, including the Riverside hotel building. A number of the members, we are told, are very favorably impressed with the latter property and in order to give all members an opportunity to look'over the place the next regul&r meeting, to be held this (Thursday) evening, will he held in the dining room of the Riverside Just what sort of a proposition'will be made to the members has not been definitely decided, altho it has been suggested to buy or build a new home by forming a stock company among the members, (^uite a number of the members have already expressed their willingness to purchase stock in such an undertaking. As mentioned in these columns some time ago, there is at the present time a campaign on to double the membership of the order and with this as their aim every council in the United States has set out to see this gigantic undertaking realized. Here in McHenry every member, of the council has been working diligently along this line for some time past, with the result that applications have been coming in by the score. In case they are successful in their efforts in this direction the McHenry council will be able to bdast of a membership of between four and five hundred within the next few months. Even with the present membership the quarters now used have grown much too small and with the addition of those who are expected to be taken in during the next few months new and larger quarters will be an absolute necessity. With a membership of even four hundred McHenry should be* able to raise enough money to buy or build K. of C. building that would be a distinct credit to themselves as well as to the village. We have heard it said that the Riverside hotel offers an ideal place for such quarters. The idea is not only to give the council a larger place wherein to hold their regular meetings, but also to. give members place where they are welcome to go at any time day or night and find some sort of amusement. When it is considered that a large percentage of the membership is composed of younger men, the want of such a place is easily seen, and then, too, the older members will enjoy such quarters equally as well, a£ it will give them a place to pass away their idle hours. In fact, it is the intention of those who are pushing the proposition to conduct the proposed K. of C. building along the same methods as employed by the councils in larger cities. The various forms of indoor amusements, such as billiards, pool and bowling alleys, together with lounging and smoking parlors, reading rooms, baths, etc., are to be found in buildings of this kind in the larger cities and there isn't a reason, so some of the members state, why McHenry cannot be given all of these things on a scale in conformity with the membership of the council. There is a possibility that some decision will be reached at tonight's meeting, as the officers and members of the McHenry council fully realize VILLAGE ELECTION TUESDAY Two Tfcketa Are Filed But No Contest Will Be Wage* v < Elsewhere in this week's ferae of The Plaindealer appear the specimen ballots, both for Che women and for the men, to be voted at the annual village election, which is scheduled to be held at the village hall next Tuesday, April 16. As will be seen by the specimens, two tickets have been filed. One, headed as the Progressive, contains the names of three men who seek the offices of village aldermen, while the other is headed as the CitizeilV ticket and contains the name of- but one candidate, John O. Olson, McHenry's next mayor. Those who aspire for the aldermanic seats and jwHo are sure to be elected are Fred/A. Cooley, Richard;!. Overton and iSimon Stoffel. Thus there Will be three aldermen elected from the West Side of town, while the president will be elected from the East Side, once more con forming with an agreement of years standing. The officers .whose terms expire this spring are Mayor R. G. Cham berlin and Aldermen Mathias Hei mer, Fred Kamhoiz and Simon Stoffel, Jthe latter being the only one of the three who is again asking the voters for the honor of serving them in that capacity. Owing to the lack of contest very little interest is being displayed in the coming election and it is quite doubtful if more than a dozen or two votes will be cast. However, there is always that possibility of surprise, but from all indications nothing of this sort is likely to occur this year. McHenry Commercial Association The McHenry Commercial association, made up of business, profes sional and representative men of the village and community, which organized here about a year ago, will hold its annual meeting and election of officers at jthe village hall on Thursday evening of next week, April 17. While the association has been somewhat inactive during the past few months, rlcent developments in McHenry seem to urge more activity among that' body and in order that the village may, be in a position to properly negotiate with any and all propositions which may be brought this way the association members feel that action on their part must and should take place at once. With the election of new officers next Thursday night and bringing into the organization of new blood, it is hoped that things for the betterment and development of McHenry and the surrounding community may be accomplished. Almost daily one hears of factory propositions that are being made to the smaller cities and towns and the local organization feels that McHenry should be in a position to make bids when the opportunity presents itself and there is only one way , in which to do this effectively and that is thru an organized effort. The association invites new members, not only business and professional men of the village, but men from the farming communities as well. The rural residents are just as welcome as are the men who are engaged in business. In fact, we are informed that it is the intention to change the organization into a Community club, which, we believe, will be even better than the present organizati n, as the more that can be induced to become members of such an organization the more weight it will naturally carry. Bear in mind the date of the next meeting and be there, whether or not you are now a member of the ciation.

Plenty off Power Wm. J. Welch is now thoroly convinced that the motor in his new touring car possesses plenty of power. The real test came last Sunday, when he drove right thru the steel curtain door at the Overton & Cowen garage on the West Side. Outside of a few scratches on the hood the car was unharmed as the result of the unusual experience. While the feat proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the car will do everything that is claimed for it, Overton A Cowen would much rather have car owners make future tests elsewhere, as that wasn't the purpose for which the door was intended. And there is no chance of a come-back for the garage men as Mr. Welch's title stands in the way of all this. # Schaefer-Per kinson -Miss Mayme Schaefer, daughter «l Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Winkle of this village, and AttjK William J.
