The oracle, Mrs. Carrie Ensign, gave an interesting talk on the emblem'wf the society, the rose, written t>y Mary Arnholt, supreme oracle, which follows: "The white rose is the chosen flower of our society, symbol •of love, purity, service. "The rose has ever spoken the language of lovi. The Royal Neighbors of America translate love in terms of sacrifice, service and pro taction. Our society is founded on love; love for the "little child cradled in its mother's arms; love for motherflood, fatherhood; and love for the homes of our great land. "The -white rose is the symbol ©f purity. The teachings of the Royal Neighbors of America center around .modesty, the outward sign of inward parity. "The fragrance of the white rose, . wafted on perfume laden air, sends f5 its message of sweetness over the world. Our great society sends the spirit of sympathy, consolation and hope, as a sweet incense into Royal Neighbor homes. "Out of the cold, dark earth, the rose forms its branches, leafage and fragrant flowers. We Royal Neighbors who live in accord with the society's teachings, consider earthly pains and losses endured by Neighbors 4>ur common sorrow to be transmitted into love, beauty, service. The white rose is a fitting symbol for the Royal Neighbors of America." Besides being the twenty-fourth anniversary of the local camp March is also the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Royal Neighbors as a fraternal beneficiary society. It was on March *21, 1895, when the state of Illinois cranted to the Royal Neighbors of Aflnerica a charter to write insurance. Rapid Growth During the thirty-five years they "have grown from the first six hundred to over 600,000 >nd have relieved want and distress by the distribution of over $57,000,000. The Juvenile department of the Royal Neigh- . bors was also organised in March. "The thirty-fifth year of the society -was a progressive one with several -very important changes taking place, -which included the new features of insurance which were adopted during the year. Arrangements were also made to fytild a home for the eare of members and a forty-acre tract was bought just outside of Davenport, Iowa, iliere the home will be built. 'There are more than 8,000 adult «®mps in good standing and 2,500 Juvenile camps in the forty-four states the union in which the company is doing business. Following the program the remaingeneral assembly on page 97. Because of the wording of the bill, designating the location of the dam as being at Emerald Park, of instead of McHenry, it was found that the division of waterways could not spend the money without given further authority by the state. It was decided at the meeting to get in touch with Representative McDonough and an affidavit was made out, stating that the reading in the appropriation was a clerical error and should have read "McHenry" instead of "Emerald Park." The object of the association is to obtain the "money so that they may bnild a dike along the property known as the Cleary farm which is very low. Because of this low spot, in the spring, when the dam should be holding up the water level, the river will go down through this low spot. If the dike is not built there is a possibility of the river cutting the course through at this point.

The second fire occurred soon after TOWN ELECTION TO BE HELD TUESDAY, APRIL 1 Notices for the annual town election have been published by the town clerk, Charles B. Harmsen, and as the election always falls on the first Tuesday in April, it will take place on April 1, this year. Although this is the date of April Fool's day there wfll be no one fooled in the election for there will be no opposition to any of the candidates and the number of votes cast will probably be small. Owing to the new laws governing elections the candidates filed more than thirty-five days previous to the date of election and the ticket was completed with Feb. 24 as the last chance for filing. The officers to be elected this year are town clerk, assessor and justice of the peace, all three candidates to succeed themselves being, Charles B. Harmsen for clerk, Win. J. Welch for justice of the peace and Jos. Schmitt for assessor. The town meeting will be held at the city hall at 2 o'clock on election day, a moderator will be chosen wlu> will proceed to hear the reports of officers, to appropriate money to defray the necessary expenses of • the township and to decide on any measures which may come before the meeting. The board of auditors will meet in the town clerk's office on March 25 at 7:30 o'clock to audit all bills against the town.

Yours very respectfully, STANLEY WARRINGTON Three men were being held fa the Arlington Heights jail Wednesday awaiting an investigation to determine the details of the Chicago A Northwestern Railway wreck at Arlington Heights, which killed one man and injured about twenty persons Tues day night. The three are employees of Spencer, White. ft 'Prentice, sewer contractors, and they were dragging huge section of seTsrer pipe across the tracks when No. 215, fast mail train from St. Paul to Chicago, crashed into it. The engine overturned and exploded. A few minutes later the Barrington local which leaves the Clinton street terminal at 8:02, struck the wreckage and the engine of this train too overturned and exploded. Carl Kutzner, engineer of the local train, was scalded to death at ^is throttle and his body was still beneath the wreckage of his locomotive at an early hour Wednesday. Engine Crew Leaps T. G. Campbell, superintendent of the Wisconsin division, said that apparently the laborers had been pulling the big pipe, which weighed about 4,000 pounds, across the tracks with a tractor when it slipped from the skids and stuck in the mud. The fast mail train was about half a mile away when the accident occurred and it is said that the contractors' men made frantic efforts to flag it. Harry McCloskey, engineer of the flyer, failed to discern the signals, however, and did not see the obstruction on the crossing until he was about 500 feet away. He put on the breaks, but was still going at about forty-five miles an hour when the locomotive hit the pipe. McCloskey and Gust Ring, his fireman saved their lives by jumping. An instant after they had leaped the locomotive struck the pipe, left the tracks, turned over on its side and exploded. Trainmen and passengers were swarming out of the derailed coaches, four of which had tipped on their sides, when the headlight of the Barrington local, a five-car train, ap peared down the track. Lanterns were produced but there was no time to light the more brilliant flares^ before the local crashed into the wreckage at about thirty-five miles an hour The fireman leaped for the ditch, escaping with injuries which physicians at S3t. Luke's Hospital afterwards diagnosed as not serious. Engineer Kutzner stayed at his throttle and was probably scalded to death as his engine crashed into the other locomotive and exploded, witnesses said. The first coach on the local, a combination baggage and smoking car, reared up behind the engine and was standing bolt upright when the spout of smoke and steam from the exploded boilers had cleared away. The second coach telescoped into the smoker and three behind tipped over. The local postoffices hert were without any first class mail Wednesday morning on account of the wreck Anaaal Meeting of McHenry Chapter Held at Johnsburg. Friday Evening The meeting of the McHenry chapter of the Izaak Walton league, which was held at Johnsburg on Friday evening, March 14, was a big success, with a fine attendance of interested members present. The business of the meeting was enlivened by music furnished by the Community quartet and at the close of the meeting lunch was served. The following resolutions were adopted at the meeting: To change the does for this year from five dollars to four dollars per year. To have the chairman inquire of Congressman Re id regarding what can be done to have the government close the mufflers on outboard motors going up and down the river from the dam to Pistakee lake, as this is not only a nuisance to the property owners along the river, but is also destroying and frightening the fish which the govern, ment has placed in these waters. Also to have the conservation committee look up suitable grounds surrounding McHenry for a large* fish hatchery. Election of officers for the coming year was held and committees were appointed. The officers elected were: President, Rudolph E. Johnson; Vice-presidents, John A. Miller and Peter W. Frett; secretary, A. E. Nye, and treasurer Stephen H. Freund. Conservation Committee--Math N. Schmitt, Peter Smith, Nic Pitzen, Peter Frett and Ray Conway. Membership committee -- Fred Smith, Jos. King, Joe Engeln, William Althoff and George Stilling.

The third fire was also a grass fire on the Jos. N. Miller farm, east of this city. This alarm was turned in before the fire department had returned from Howell's Villa, but word was sent out to them and they hastened to answer the third call. The firemen are asking for the cooperation of local people and summer resort people in an appeal for greater vigilance in starting fires of any kind so as to prevent the loss of property as well as taking the time of the volunteer fire department to answer John Stoffel, children's oxfords andj^88 cal,s' many of them being due 'to carelessness.

He enjoyed the bands and several musical organizations at Naperville of which Mr. Koerner is director and reports that they are making wonderful progress. SPRING BEGINS MARCH 21 Winter will pass into history and Spring will begin, according to astronomical reckoning, on Friday morning, March 21. At this time the sun will be directly over the earth's equator as it gradually moves northward. This causes the days and nights to be of equal length in both hemispheres and is therefore called the vernal equinox. SUNDAY'S WEATHER GIVES TASTE OF REAL SUMMER The weather of Sunday gave folks in this section a taste of real summer and people from the city, as well as the country, made the most of their opportunity and hit the trail in the quest of pleasure. The highways were unusually crowded for this season of the year, in fact, the traffic resembled very much the congestion of mid-summer. The golf grounds, also, proved popular with several of the enthusiasts trying their luck after a winter '"n activity. At the McHenry Country club many were seen playing during the day. The summer weather did not come for a long stay, however, as the weather the next day was cooler and rainy. Money to Loan on Farms. R. M. Fritz, Harvard, -fll.
