We are sorry to see Mr.. Milton Vain
and DIR. Pickard going about on crutch-
es. Mr.. Vain had the misfortune to
put his knee out of joint and DR.. Pick
ard used his lame leg little too vio-
lently. Those old wounds need careful
usuage.
We saw statement in The HERALD
4 few weeks ago that six young ladies
from the Lancaster city schools received
certificates to teach. More than half
dozen persons from the Fennimore high
school received certificates and one,
Fred McNair, obtained a first grade GER
tificate, and our town is only little
country village with high school es-
tablished less than n year and half.
Our village is improving quite rapidly
this spring, more than dozen houses
are building.or have been built in the
last two months and nearly as many
families have moved into town.
Elder Lewis and wife, of jamestown,
and daughter are visiting with their
children and friends in the village this
week. The Elder looks hale and hearty.
The old fence around the M. f. par
sonage has been removed and new
one put in its place. The parsonage it
self needs repairing in the same manner.
A telegram came to town last Satur-
day to the effect that II. { Wenzel had
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the head while in East Dubuque.
Mr.. Wenzel has been keeping saloon
and running Il hotel here for about a
year. He attempted to poison himself
about two weeks before this but was
prevented from so doing. He left town
the first part of last week not intending
TO come back and was not heard of again
until the news came that he had killed
himself

Lions Loose in a Theater.

MIR. George Sanger, having cRgaged
with Mr.. Paul Cleves, the proprietor Of
the Porte st. Martin Thcntcr, Paris, to
supply eight lions, two drc.nedui =, and
two elephants, to appear iii the ''Bieh
aux Bots" the lions were brought 10 the
theatcr. At the next moriins the
man IN charge of the elephants, with an
expression of terror in his countrnance,
said in a whisper to Mr.. Sanger, 1.-The
lions arc out" "Well, said air. San
ger, "Why don't you catch them /?
Where's the keeper, Macomo p Don't
know, Sir" Mr.. Sanger, taking an oil
lamp with wretched, smoked globe,
went ON to the stage, and, after walking
about for some time, was heard to say:
ION, there you are, are you?" and, look
ing over trap in the stage, he saw the
big lion, Tichborne, and presently the
other two came proving by. "All
right, | will soon have them, said Mr..
Sanger. At this the big lion threw up
his head and opened his pondereus jaws,
showing his great tusks. Mr.. Sanger
took heavy whip used by the elephant
keeper, and with this In one hand and
the lamp in the other, dashed into the
cellar. The lions instantly dashed off.
Presently he was heard to say +" It's all
right. have one of them" Mr San
ger came up on the stage, and said the
other two were concealed among the
broken timber and waste at the bottom
OF the cellar, and that he wouA have
them directly. Several tried to persuade
him to forego any further attempt.
What am to do % he answered
have engaged to bring oight lions here
to appear in the 'Bich aux Bois, and
not to roam about the theater." At this
moment something WIS heard to fall.
MIR. Sanger, leaving without saying
word, went into the cellar again, and
after searching in vain for the lions for
some time, discovered that they had got
into the bottom cellar They had fallen
a depth of twenty feet. ''All right, l
have got them. come on, come on,
cried Sanger. Thinking the lions were
secured, some friends descended, but
they were only caught up in n corner.
Bring up those shutters, be quick, {"
was the next heard and seeing such
bravery shown by Mr.. Sanger, they
plucked up courage, carried up several
shutters and hemmed them III. Then
the cages from which they had so re-
Gently broken being lowered, tAe cap
ture was easily effected. The k~nt was
carried on in the most calm and ee.lected
manner possible, and proved beyond all
doubt that there was not the Slightest
fear on the part of Mr.. George Sanger,
the modern lion hunter.

Messrs w. B. Clark, of Bloomington,
K. {. Orr and +. NJ. Lowery, of Lam
easter, have formed q law partnership
and will open an Office in this city.
HE HERALD is pleased to be able to
make this announcement. The pleas
ure comes not only from the addition
OF one more to the professional firms
of the city but also from the recognised
ability and high standing of the parties
comprising the new firm. Messrs Orr
and Clark are well known throughout
the county the former as a brilliant and
successful pleader and the latter as a
lawyer of marked talents and legal at
tainment. Mr.. Lowery needs no INTRO
duction to the people of Lancaster and
vicinity although perhaps not so well
known in other portions of the county.
He is, however, recognised as Young
lawyer of much promise, Individually
and collectively the firm is one that will
commend itself to those who become in
volved in legal difficulties and will soon
grow into an excellent and extensive
practice.

Sacrificed Himself,

The Dubuque Times of Sunday con-
tains the following:
About week ago, stranger crossed
on the ferry from this city to East Dubu-
que, with some curiosities evidently be-
longing to a circus or side show. lie
put up at the National Hotel in East
Dubuque. His actions were rather pc
culiar, and seemed to indicate gloomi-
ness and disorder of mind. Yesterday
morning he was seen to enter the tunnel
about half past six o'clock, and in few
moments after, those who saw him en-
ter, heard a pistol shot They immedi-
ately ran into the tunnel, and when
about fifty feet from the entrance. they
found the stranger living upon the
ground. with bullet wound in his head
about midway between the right ear and
temple. He was unconscious when
picked up, and uttered no word. The
almost lifeless body was borne to the
National Hotel, and DR. Hall was sum-
moned, who promptly applied the usual
remedies, but without avail, for the
stranger died at II o'clock.
To this a dispatch to the Chicago Jour
nsl adds the facts that the suicide was
"a fine hooking man, well dressed and
about forty years of age. An inquest
was held disclosing his name to be Ii
f. Wenzel, resident Of Fcnnimore,
Wis"
The correct name Of the deceased was
II. c. Wenzel and he has for some time
been keeping the Central House at Fen
nimore. Family troubles are supposed
TO have been the cause of his act. Some
two weeks ago he attempted to commit
suicide by poison but his intention was
discovered in time and the stuff taken
from him. He was relative of those
bearing the same name in this city and
was here on visit last week. probably
the day before he left for Dubuque.
He leaves wife and several children.

the Beetown and Bloomington road
changed so as to avoid the hull just

of being one of the worst places in the

the present road or changing the loca-

THE new time card has been received
But little change has been made but
that little is decidedly for the better. A
new freight has been added between
Montfort and this city which leaves the
former place on the arrival of the pas
scnger from the east in the evening,
reaching Lancaster at l0:40 p. m. This
train returns the same night to Mont
fort. The new arrangement gives par
ties chance to avoid the destestable
delay at that place which has been 50
much of nuisance for some months
past. Aside from this there has been
no change in the arrival and departure
of trains.
