From the Prairie du Chen Courier.


Wheat at Prairie du Chen is
quoted at 81 09.
The County Fair will be held at
Seneca, October 6, 7 and 8.
The barley has all been harvested
in this county, in good condition, and
is splendid crop.
Mr.. A. D. Phillips succeeds Mr.
r. James as railroad agent at the
Prairie du Chen station.
The pontoon bridge at this point
is big thing just now for the i'm
mense trains crossing the river.
Seven long freight trains, loaded
with grain, leave Prairie du Chen
daily for Milwaukee and Chicago.
Prairie du Chen is assessed near
ly half million of dollars on real es-
tate, and $228,853 on personal prop
erty.
Prairie du Chen pays more than
fair proportion of the State and
county taxes, owing to low assess
ments in other towns.
Business is looking up again and
we may depend upon a large fall
trade. Prices of gain will keep up
until long after harvest.
1t is rumored that the new Cath.
olic church building at Seneca is not
securely built This is one of the fin
est churches in the county, and we do
not believe that there are any grounds
for the report.
The wheat, rye, oats and barley
has been mostly harvested on this pra-
RE, and the yield is larger than ex-
pected. In few instances the chintz
bugs have done some damage, but not
near as much as in the interior of the
county.
Mrs. Rush, the kidnapped woman
that the Grant County HERALD gave
such long and exciting account of
has turned up again on this side Of the
Mississippi. She came back into town
early Thursday morning with Hon. G..
G. Hazelton. Of course George didn't
kidnap her.
The Assessor of Prairie du Chen
manages to find as large an aggregate
of taxable property as before the de-
cline in values. If all Assessors, and
boards of equalizers were as atten-
tive to their duty as they are in this
city, there would be a more equitable
distribution of taxes.
The Union says that Prof. Thos.
Nyhan, of Prairie du Chen, was last
week married to Miss frankie |. G.
Reynolds, of Madison.

as well as for farm produce generally
no wonder that our farmers feel jubi
lent and hopeful of the times to come. y
"Bloomington is improving some.
A few new buildings are going up,
and business is good"
"Cassville, our sister town on the
Mississippi, is also looking up, and
improvements are the order Of the
day. Herman Grimm is their wide
awake chairman of the town board.
He runs ferry, livery stable, etc."
"Glen Haven is also springing phe
nix like, from its own ashes, and looks
new and handsome as a blushing
maiden"
"Beetown looks up from he re-
cesses among the "sucker holes" and
intends to put on airs this Fall and
Summer There is not much mineral
digging going on at this season of the
year; yet Mr.. Hutchinson, the smelter,
says there is considerable mineral
coming in, and where it comes from
is more than he knows.
sPatch Grove, another sister town,
is sober place, there being no licens-
ed saloons and We weary traveller has
to wait until he gets to Bridgeport or
Bloomington to quaff that beverage
known as lager beer. Even North
Andover, a place not half so large,
supports two saloons in active opera
ton. These towns which | have
named all derive their support from
Blake's Prairie, and they are in a
thrifty condition"
"Muscalunge is a mineral town of
but very little Importance, without
either postoflice or store, yet active
wide-awake citizens dwell there.

Cleaned from the Dial


An unusual large amount of grain
has been harvested in this section.
Various picnic parties leave this
place weekly for a jolly time at Castle
Rock, and other pleasant points in
the county.
The city is overrun with book
agents, and if they don't cease opera
tons the people, will have to lock the
aforesaid gentlemen up, in order to
escape terrible "interviews."
The Boscobel tonnery, G.. II.
Garrett proprietor, has its watts full of
all kinds of hides undergoing the pro-
cess of tanning, all of which will in a
few days be ready to make up into
harness, boots, shoes, etc.
The first load of new wheat for
this season was brought to town
Wednesday by Mr.. Geo. Jones, of
Hickory Grove. The berry was
plump and good. 1t was bought by
Thompson Brothers for one dollar per
bushel.
"A fishing party, consisting of
Isaac Farnsworth, A. F. Hall, and
James Barnett, of this city, we'll
equipped with camping utensils left
this city on Wednesday for the sever
al trout streams north of the Wiscon-
sin river
The President, Vice President and
Directors of the Chicago & Tomah
narrow gauge railroad held a meeting
at Wauzeka on Wednesday night last,
graded, completed and tied the road
up to large red elm tree near the
apex of the big bend of the Kickapoc
river.
james Barnett, of the Central
House, has disposed of his fine bay
carriage team. They are a splendid
pairi of matched horses, weighing
about 2,40o Tbs. They have passed
into the hands of Mr.. Fennsler, Of
Boston. The price paid for them wa:
$500. They are a noble pair of horse:
and will DO him good service.
The eldest daughter of Sebastian
Heller, aged IL years, living in thu
town of Marion, was bitten by hug
rattlesnake one day last week. A
last reports she was still alive, but il
a dangerous condition. A little chile
belonging to Geo. Henkel, who live
in the same neighborhood, was fatal
bitten by one of these poisonou
snakes some two years ago.
Winter wheat is good averag
crop, and is all cut and safely stacked
Tame hay is the best ever raised i
these parts. Oats are exceedin
everybody's expectations, so larg
that nearly every field has lodge
places in it. Potatoes are ,splendi

medicine prescribed by Physicians, or sold by
Druggists, that carries such evidence of its
success and superior virtue as Boschee's Ger
man Syrup for Severe Coughs, Colds settled

the Throat and Lungs, proof of that fact is
that any person afflicted, can get Sample
Bottle for 10 cents and try its superior effect

astonishing everyone that use it. Three

TEACHERS INSTITUTE. State Sup't.
Soaring has arranged that Teach
ers' Institute will be held at Bosco-
bel for the county of Grant, COM
mencing August 8th, to continue
two weeks Professors ID. McGreg-
or, of Platteville, and FL. Jane, (of
Lafayette county somewhere), will
conduct the Institute. We do not
understand that it is obligatory upon
teachers to attend these Institutes.
1t is expected by the friends of edu-
cation that all teachers, either TEN.
porarily or professionally engaged,
attend them, that the cause may be
benefited thereby. l. would be as
impossible to compel the average
school sir or nam to attend a school
Institute as TO compel the citizen to
attend caucus Yet conventions
of school teachers and citizens are
necessary for the public good and
ought to be generally attended by
them The school Institute holds
as important an office as the politi-
cal conventiOn-yes, more import
ant. But even in these late days of
progress, one frequently finds an
old fossil who berates the modern
school Institute and would have the
same cor dition of things xist as in
hi- carly. days when the public
school system was not known, aud
only the W 2althy could receive even
a liberal or fair education. But they
are fast passing away and with them
the preiudices against public schools
and a free, general education. The
Normal school and institute Iabors
IN this State have accomplished
much for the puciic good in the past,
and we hope tina. their future work
will be rewarded with greater sue
cess Let the teachers Of Grant
rally en- masse to the Insti-
tute at BoscObel and have a good
socio educational time.

The HERALD has neglected to
say to the citizens of Grant county
outside Of Lancaster village, this
borough has at last calaboose. The
town may now shake hands with
other like pretentious places. Be it
known, then, that Lancaster has a
calaboose, and will hereafter take
care of her own prisoners herself. A
young man named Kane, on Sunday
last, being determined for row and
somewhat boisterous on the street,
spent the evening therein at the die
tation of Marshal Mitchell. On Mon
day morning the village authorities
looked into the case and fined Kane
IS and costs, which was paid. Cred
it is due the village authorities for
their action in this instance, and the
order-loving people of Lancaster de-
sire as prompt action whenever oc-
casion demands.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE. The
death il reported OF Mr.. Richard IL.
Magoon, at Darlington, where he
had gone to visit his son--the PROF.
ent member of Congress from this
district. He died suddenly at the
La Mar House. He was widely
known citizen, having come to the
lead mines as early as tho year 1923
when in the prime Of life. He mined
about G4Iena and Scales NJ und. at
the breaking out of the Black Haw k
war he was an active organizer of
of troops for the defence of the whites
and did gallant service as com
mander in the Indian battles of that
time. Until within few years be
had been actively engaged in min
ing, merchandising AMI speculative
pursuits, by which he amassed large
fortune. The deceased was born in
Washington county, New York, in
1899. The funeral services took
place on Sunday last at the residence
Of Hon. II. S. Magoon. in Darling
ton, and was largely attended by
the old settlers of the lead region
and by family friends.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Pen Sketches BY the Herald Correspondents
PlatteviIIe.

P1atteviIIe.
The following notes from our cor
respondent were intended for last
weeks edition, but came too late:
A little shower on Tuesday made
the farmers smile. One of our largest
German farmers says, "this rain is
putting $40 bills in my pockets all the
time"
j. jenkins, who came here from
Shullsburg in the Fall and opened a
flour, feed and grain store, sold out at
auction on last Saturday, as he found
it would not pay.
Hooper 81 Rountree, of this place,
run the biggest" soda fountain in
the county. 1t is one they lately pur-
chased from Tuft, of Boston, and has
three draught tubes and twenty syrup
tubes.
The residents near the narrow
gauge depot were surprised at noon
on Sunday; first by the very excel
lent music of Schreiner's band, and
next by the immense crowd who
" stepped down and. out of the mar
row gauge train at the picnic grounds
in Virgins woods, and were not at all
surprised at the overwhelming demon
STATIONS of benevolence of the Ga
lena Germans. There was an i'm.
mense crowd, and a happier one we
have seldom seen. They passed the
time in dancing, taking "swei glass
lager" and lounging around. Moth
ing occurred to mar the happiness of
the day. The weather was pleasant,
the grove cool, and the Germans en-
barked at s p. M, satisfied with day
well spent, and promising to come
again, were soon on the homeward
track. Pro RE NATA.
FROM tne UltnesSs
"A grand picnic excursion from
Galena to Platteville will take place

StoD That Cough.

Many people hesitate to try medicine for a
disease, on account of the expense, connected
with the uncertainty of it's benefitng them;
while at the same time, had they confidence
in that remedy, the expense would be the least
objection With this fact in view, we make
the following propositions: Any person suffer-
ing with cold, cough or sore throat, that will
call at w. B. Bakers or any other drug store
and purchase bottle of HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL, use one half of it and, if they then
conclude that it is doing them no good, they
can return the bottle and receive back their
money. No medicine ever sold In this vicini>
ty, that produced so magical results. Don't
fail to try it, 47m4
