The office of secretary and treasurer in local lodges will be combined. Chicago was admitted into the jurisdiction.
MEMORIAL DAY - Despite threatening weather our citizens turned out in large numbers to celebrate Memorial Day.
The Methodist church was crowded with an audience who were very attentive to the different parts of the program. The school led the chorus singing and a quartet, composed of Misses Winnie Sawyer and Elnora Arps, and Messrs. Will Mosser and Frank Bicknase, rendered extra nice music. Mr. Attwood, of Chicago, delivered a very patriotic and interesting address, which was well pleasing to the audience. A.R. Baldwin read a list of the deceased soldiers in the cemetery. The procession then formed and marched to the Hillside cemetery, where the graves were decorated and Rev. D.J. Holmes delivered an eloquent address in memory of the unknown.The graves at the South cemetery were next decorated, and the procession then returned to the church and disbanded. The Palatine Military band rendered fine music for the occasion.
MANNERCHOR CONCERT AND DANCE - That the Mannerchor can draw a good crowd at any time was shown last Monday night, when Battermann hall was filled with an audience who came through the rain to attend the concert and dance. That they were not disappointed was shown by the continual roar of laughter with which the different numbers on the program were greeted. The orchestra played some excellent music during the program, and their playing for the dance was as good as any ever had here. The solos by A.S. Olms, I.M. Kuebler, J.G. HOrstman and August Hackbarth were well rendered and the program throughout proved very interesting.

Wauconda enterainted about 150 city guests Saturday and Sunday, and had the weather a much larger number would have been out. Wauconda is being recognized more and more each year as one of the ideal summer resorts.
Sunday-school will be held at the Catholic church in our village every alternate Sunday, beginning June 14, immediately after mass, from 11:30 to 12 o’clock. INstructors will be appointed, and all the children in the parish between the ages of 7 and 15 are requested to attend.
Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Hapke and family moved to McHenry Tuesday, where they will make their future home. Mr. Hapke has been employed in the Wauconda flour and feed mill as engineer for the past several years and his face will be missed by the many patrons, who always found him an obliging and accommodating hand. He has secured a good position as carpenter at McHenry with Al Howe, contractor and builder, and this induced him to leave our village. We wish him the best of success in his new position.
Carl Eriksen, our shoemaker, announces his early departure from our village, having decided to move to Grayslake June 19, where he will have his shop in the rear of the new store in the Doolittle & White new building. Carl has been our shoemaker for the past three tears, having purchased the business of Otto Waelti, and we are sorry to see him leave for other territory, but we wish to recommend him to his new patrons as a first-class workman and one who will give prompt attention to the work as it is brought in, and we hope he will meet with the best of success in our sister village.
