From Arena.

A telephone from the Star office
to the Post office is the great sensa-
tion.
We learn that some cases Of scar
let fever have appeared at old
Arena.
The wood between the switches
in this village is being removed by
the railroad company, preparatory
to the laying of u new side track. A
long needed improvement.
The Arena correspondent of the
Chronicle failed to tell its readers
last week that the man who with
drew from the town board-there-
by letting the majority fall on the
license side Of the question-was n
Republican. Facts do not hurt;
give them IN airing
The railroad company ut this
place paid 1925 per cord for oak
wood instead Of $500 as was antici-
patcd. There are hundreds Of
cords yet unsold.
But little spring wheat compara-
lively will be Sown in these parts
this season.
Some large fish are being taken
from the river near this village.
A good plank bridge has been
erected over the slough at the ferry,
making the landing of boats easy
and good. Rhe ferry is free to both
the adjacent sides of the river, and
only Is cents for a horse and buggy
and rs cents for q double team to
the travelling public. 1t is d wire
and current ferry; the boat being
propelled by the current. 1t has
already added to the trade Of Arena
very largely, with bright prospects
for the future.
We advise people who come TO
Arena to keep i'll the middle of the
street, as the sidewalks are in a very
bad condition.
1t is seeding time and country
items are consequently scarce.
House cleaning, paper-hanging
etc, are the order of the day.
A couple of sneak tramps passed
through our village a few days
since, selling what purportcd to be
emery dust, but all the bottles ex-
cept the sample one proved to be
nothing but sand Several Of our
unsuspecting citizens were victimiz-
cd. AS they may visit your city
pass them along
Plum trees and wild fruit gener-
ally promises an abundant yield.
+. w, Keyes has returned to
Madison from Washington and in a
series Of interviews to which he has

man for the Republicans. Thc Sun
could have told that 70 Col. Keyes,
six weeks ago, and it would have
saved him a good deal of expense
in going and coming, besides his

WILL GRACE CHURCH INQUIRE INTO
THIS?

"a Stranger" has sent to the HERALD q strange
charge against officials of church that has hitherto
been above suspicious Of favoritism rudeness to
persons seeking Sabbath privileges among them.
And it may be stated probably certain that the
rector is ignorant of tho It's. The Stranger Is
traveller and is continually the road. seldom
manning two Sabbaths in any city. He here last
Sunday and went to Grace Church at eleven A. M.
The church. he writes. was not one-qusrter full.
and he with a few others stood in the aisle expect
ing to be shown into seats. Instead Of that they
ordered out to the vestibulea cold, cheerless
place in view of the weather last Sunday and where
the wind beat in at the folding doors. To protect
himself there the stranger" put on his hat and
waited little longer when. he says. the fat usher
obeyed promptly and left the church and returned
to his hotel, where all Corners are treated with
courtesy in marked distinction to the rude treatment
he had been subjected to in Grace Church. Had he
received the same treatment similar In any busi-
ness house in the city he says he would have
scented it, He was willing to pay entrance fee be-
cause he thought the service and sermon would be
worth the money, but to be debarred from worship
ping at all in u church Of God by usher sexton
He therefore denies the claim OF q free gospel-at
least to one church-and adds thereto charge of
discourtesy and unchristian conduct the part Of
the church toward him. It Is to be hoped that II
such conduct on the part of fat or lean ushers in
any OF city churches Is common some
thority will to IL that either the conduct the
usher is changed. Religion has contempt and con.
tumey enough to bear now without adding this to
its burdens.

Mr. Hereford called up Mr.. HOar's resolution
declaring the Democratic programme for the pass
age of the appropriation bills to be unconstitu.
tlonal and revolutionary and made a speech
against IL, insisting that no such action was con.
tmplated as would justify such a conclusion.
Mr.. Hereford, in concluding his speech, said
Repeal the obnoxious laws, and all will be we'll.
Give the people free elections and fair uries, and
peace and prosperity will prevail throughout our

on Appropriations having agreed TO resist all
amendments, and the majority Of the Senate sec
onding them accordingly. The reason assigned
