SCHOOL ELECTION SATURDAY^ APR. 13 CONTESTS ON THE LOCAL . BOARDS With competition in every one of the April elections the voters of Mc- Henry have some exciting days ahead of them. The school election, 'which Will be held April 18, of late has been a very quiet affair, but will doubtless attract its share of interest this year with competition on the high school board and an unusual condition rfHsing on the grade school board. On the high school board the terms of Dr. A. I. Froehlich and Ben Justen expire this vear and their petitions have been filed for Anton Schmitt of Leo Winkel of McHienry have also filed their petitions as candidates for election to the high school board and will run in opposition to the ORCHARD BEACH COUPLE MARRIED FIFTY YEARS Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Bloethner of " Orqjiard Beach celebrated their golden wedding ahniversary on Sunday, March 24, with relatives and friends enjoying the day with them. ~~ Mr. and Mrs. Bloethner have been residents of this vicinity for eighteen years and the Plaindealer joins their friends hen in extending congratulations, Mr. Bloethner is 77-years old and his wife is 72. They were married in Germany on March 21, 1885, and came to the United States, settling in Chicago, here Mr. Bloethner was a machinist. The honored couple received flowers and gifts and enjoyed a pleasant day with ttoeir friends and relatives, among "whom were a brother-in-rlaw, nieces and nephews.

An announcement of the candidacy of the present members appears elsewhere in this issue. Voters should be very careful in making out their ballots in this case as it is necessary to write in the names of the candidates and to place an X in front of each name, also. If this is not done the ballot is not counted. The school election should be given the serious consideration of the voters who should investigate, the individual worth of the candidates in promoting the welfare of the schools of this city of which the patrons have every caupe to be proud.

No. W. u: The purpose of the picture is to stimulate the interest of youth in baseball as a game that sharpens wits and builds strong, healthy bodies, yet the film is of tremendous interest to adults as well as those of 'teen age. It traces the origin of th? national pastime through its early stages to the game of town ball from which Maj. Gen Abner Doubleday, then a West Point cadet, evolved what is known as baseball in 1839. It takes the spectator behind the scenes, giving him a thorough education in the fundamentals as demonstrated by leading players of the American league. The picture h?s been recorded by Ted Husing and thje writer, George Moriarity, is well known in this vicinity, his home being at Woodstock, and has become noted for his lectures in schools and colleges throughout the country. The leading pitchers of the various leagues exhibit their skill as do also the catchers, first, second and third basemen, outfielders, etc., also Dizzv Dean and other winners of the 1934 world series. / Everyone will want to see this picture at the Empire next Tuesday n i g h t . ' IMPROVEMENTS AT CENTRAL MARKET Spotless and bright is the Central Market oh Green street since it has been redecorated and remodeled by the owner, William Pries.

Cleanliness prevails ^with each item tastefully displayed in the refrigerator counters in a style most tempting and sanitary. The entire interior has been painted cream color with green trim and presents a most attractive appearance. Mr. Pries, who took over the market in December, returned from Waukegan, where he had ~ b#8ff in business for nine years. FORMER SUMMER RESIDENT DIES Mrs. Thomas Kane returned home Sunday after nine weeks spent in Chicago where she was nursing her aunt, Mrs. Gerda Antonsen, at 431 Oakland boulevard, who died March 23. Mrs. Antonsen was known in McHenry where the family have been summer residents. She is survived by three sons, Otto, Kai and Charles. Funeral services were held March 25 with cremation at Graceland. Alford II. Pouse, former state's tormey of Mf-HPenry. who resigned office back in; August, 192?; and left for parts unknown, returned to McHenry county Sunday night. Afte? spending the night at th« borne of his mother in McHenry he appeared at the office of Sheriff Henry A. Nulle Monday morning to answer to any charges which may be against him in tho county for any criminal ac tion in connection with his disappearance. At no^mr Monday he returned to McHenry as free as the day he took over the office, of state's attonrej back in 1926. There were no chargeagainst hi'm on the records at thi court house. Sheriff Nulle had no capiau in his office and after u thorough investigation of the recordhe could find no papers under which to hold the former state's attorney. Following Pouse's disappearance there were charges filed against him in the county. He was indicted for conspiracy t6 violate the* prohibitio.i law. A hundred other McHenry coan< ty citizens were indicted with him af. the same time. However, that indictment was stricken from the docket on Jan. 10, 1933, with leave to reinstate. In November, 1934, Attorney Frank Maynard of Rockford filed a petition with the circuit court asking that the indictment be reinstated and Colic prossed. No action was ever taken on the petition. Monday Pouse visited the court house for the purpose of clearing his name from any criminal action which may have been filed him in the county. He wi to answer any charge and go to trial if necessarv. Up to a W. Hadley State's Attorney V. S. Lumley had nothing to do with the indictment returned against Pouse. At that time Charles W. Hadley of Wheaton war - acting as special prosecutor and investigator in the county. It wa- . « Had ley's case and Mr. Lumley refused to have anything to do with it. This is the same stand he has taken all along and he has every reason to take such a stand. FVrase quit the office of stat*V*t-< torney just prior to the so-called ous special investigation of alleged crime and violation of the pro- : hibition law in McHenry county by a group of people who called themselves the Citizens' League. Nothing has been heard of him until Mori " day when he walked into the sherilT* office. Following his disappareance a reward was offered by the county board ; of $1,000 for his capture and return I." .. This reward was withdrawn years ago. When Pouse resigned ha resignation to the governor of Illinois and also sent word of his arf^t to the judsre of the circuit court. - Numr-rous Rumors There have been numerous l'unwi* of his whereabouts the past eigh* years. Time and again some person brought the story here that they saw him in Chicago, Rockford, Waukegar and even said that he visited McHenry on various times. These w»»v just rumors because Pouse said th.' only time he has been around these parts in the last eight years was last November when he had a conference with Attorney Maynard in Chicago, He would not disclose where he ha« been living although he said he never changed his name and never made any attempt to hide in the underworld but lived in the open and worked hard for a livinp. To Open Office m Woodstock Pouse is back to stay according v> a statement issued by him Monday. That he will again open a law practice in McHenry county is evident from what he said. He indicated he Would locate in Woodsifbck Unless Attorney Hadley asks for a, reinstatement of the i"vdictment against Pouse the case will probably Stand as it is although it seems certain that Pouse will press the petition to have. H reinstated and nolle prossed. Although Pouse's return was a surprise it was expected after the actio" taken by his attorney, Frank Maynard last November, that he woakt return sooner or later to have' the whole matter cleared up. Mrs. Pouse and son returned with him and for the present they will liv» with his mother in McHenry. i'*'" ~"rir .... • ' *v f • his Mrs, Dora Klass of Sturgeon Bay arrived Tuesday night for a short visit with relatives here.
