In another place will be found pro-
gramme of exercises for Decoration Day.
The committee meeting, which was set
for Saturday, May 20, by some complica-
ton of circumstances did not come off,
but the committees have their work well
in hand, and with pleasant weather, one
of the most interesting occasions known
for years will be the result. The musical
talent of the city, who have so gener-
ously volunteered their services for the
day, have met twice at the Methodist
church for practice, and will meet again
On Saturday and Monday evenings next.
Those who may wish to attend the ex-
ercises from the direction of Woodman
ana Fennimore can do so without fear
of being unable to obtain seats on the
trains coming and returning. The sta
ton agent at this point, Mr.. Decker,
has called the attention of the railroad
authorities to the probable necessity of
extra cars, and such will doubtless be
ON hand at Woodman, on the morning
of the 30th

PLATTEvILLE is agitating the question
of a city hall At recent meeting it
was decided to build hall to cost not
more than $4,000 for which bonds
would be issued, payable in twenty
years at five per cent. interest. An
election will be called to see whether the
action of the meeting will be ratified by
the town, but as those present were al
most unanimous in the action taken,
this will probably be done Platteville's
example is commended to her sister
towns.
The following cases were disposed of
at special term of the County court,
held Tuesday, May 16.
Petition for administration in the cs-
tate of John Brockert, deceased. Ad-
ministration granted to John BARNARD.
Bond fixed at s., 1000.
Petition for probate of will of JAS T..
Kelley, deceased Will admitted. Bond
of executor fixed at $4,000.
Petition for final settlement in thu es-
tate of Mathew Horner No appear
ance, continued to June term.
Petition for settlement in the Guar
dianship of Anton Mtlle No appear

Now is the chance for an apostle of
Vegitarianism to make his arpeara nee
in this section. Meat is so high that one
has TO take n stepladder and a long pole
TO reach it and SO much active exertion
might cause many to be caught in the
net spread by the vegetable man. Lam
caster has, however, the satisfaction of
knowing that it is no worse off than its
neighbors The scarcity of cattle, ow-
ing to the high prices which prevailed
during the winter is chiefly responsible
for the present advance in price Should
the scarcity deyelope in greater degree
than now prevails the lover of choice
morsels viii need wheelbarrow to
carry his pocket book, but small bas-
ket in which to take home his purchases.
However, there is an end to all things,
and there will be to the meat famine.

met with an adventure ola Wednesday
evening calculated to bring to mind the
memories of early days. AS he was
driving his COWS home from the pasture
just before dark, large grey wolf
thinking no doubt, that change Of diet
would be good for wolves as well rs
sheep, made an attack on him with the

A RATHER odd style of spring on a
buggy driven by Mr.. Gus Huntemcr.
caught the eye of The HERALD man re-
Gently and inquiries educed the facts
that it was what was known rs a center
spring, turned out from the shop of Mr..
John Pollock. Further Investigations,
this time at headquarters, showed that
this buggy and its mate, also manufac-
tured by Mr.. Pollock, were the first of
the kind which had ever been turned
out in this section. Mr.. Pollock endeav-
ored to get few of the springs last
year but the demand was so great that
he was unable to do so This wear he
was only able to get two which were
put up as stated. The spring is claim
ed by its admirers to be the best of the
kind in the market for elasticity and
durability. In addition to these buggies
Mr.. Pollock has turned out some very
tine work the past winter in the shape
of carriages, all Of which has found
ready purchasers. SO long rs so fine a
class of work as that sent forth from
this shop iscontinued, Grant CO., people
have no need to 60 away from home for
handsome, well built easy riding car
riages.
