the Teachers Institute this week. A satisiac-
tory report will appear next week,
Every man who can vote at any election
can vote at the railroad election His quali>
fication is simply question of age and citi-
zenship.
The report that Thos Marsden's house
in Fenuimore was struck by lightning and
burned is a mistake. The repor. grew out of
the burning of Monteith's flax stack.
Mr. Fallcy, brother of DR.. Falley, resi- ;
dent of Southern Illinois, is at the Doctors
on visit. Though he lives in Egypt he is n
better Republican than the Doctor.
1t was the types made Rarus's time 2:l2t
They should have read 2ISt-which is three
fourths of second better time than ever
made before Raru5 will trot at the Dubuque

The iron for the C. & I. r. r. is con-
tractcd for, A shipment. was made at Cleve e.
land the latter part Of last week and was ex-
pected at Woodman yesterday or to-day. An
engine was shipped at the same time at Phila-
dclpha.
We are pleased to learn that "Wlld Bird
formerly resident of this county, and now OF
Minnesota, is about to publish Temperance
Tale, poem. The excellence of her com,
munications to the HERALD for many years
warrants the expectation of an attractive book.
Mrs. Parker, of Dubuque, was visitor at
Mr.. Crosby's last week. Mrs. Levin and child
rem have been spending the warm season at
Mr.. Fred. Pheps's. If we had railroad to
Dubuque score or so of Dubuque fanatics
would pass half their Summers here.
BY the contract with the G. & T. r. Il
Co. Lancaster was to pay $4,000 as soon as
one-fourth of the grading is done. That much
is done now and no money paid, because of
the check in the proceedings by opposers.
This is provoking but it can't be helped now.
MIR Ralph Place in town of Lancaster,
grew this year nearly 400 bushels Of red Win
ter wheat on fourteen acres of ground-an-
other evidence that Winter wheat is a better
crop to SOW than Spring wheat. Flour of his
wheat is for sale at Nathan, Schreiner Cos.
and Howe Il Baxter's
Hon. f. W. Reyes, of Madison, is invited
30 deliver the annual address oil the Green
County Fair. The Society selected him be.
cause he is presumed to have given more
study to the subject of fatting cucumbers,
pruning bcefsteaks and milking hens than any
Green County man.
1t is said that citizens in the North part
of Lancaster do not care whether Lancaster
has a railroad or not because they will have
Fennimore for a market town. Perhaps they
are not aware that the money to buy the iron
is furnished by Lancaster, and Fennimore win
not geta road unless Lancaster does.

out TO see the work on the Chicago l. Tomah
r. r. Yesterday Eighteen men were at work
in front Of Mr. Thos. Weir's house. From
that point for about four miles toward the

That story abou. lady being abducted
on New York Railroad train, by couple OF
villains who made the conductor believe she
was insane and in their charge, is hoax. So
is the story OF a man down South who invited
the people in to hear him lecture and then
shot himself. So is the story about the jeal-
ousy between Robert Lincoln and the assassin
Booth, over daughter of Senator Hale.
None of these hoaxes has appeared in the
HLRALo.
