fortunate as to secure Miss Helen Pot
ter, the most successful lady elocution-
ist and character impersonator as
well as one of the handsomcst
women to-day on the stage, for Friday
evening, December 10th. Miss Potter
is best known by her connection with hel
Pleades troupe, but for some time has
been travelling alone, and her engage
mentS have in every case proved emf
nently satisfactory. She has a fine
stage presence, and enters into the
characters which she impersonates with
an abandon guided by an acute intelli.
geEce that enables her to sieze and fix
the salient features Of the original and
carry the audience with her en-massc.
Everyone who wishes to pass an eve
ming pleasantly and profitably and fee
they have had their moneys worth. ear
make their arrangements to be present
on the above evening.

ANEW Development In the Keitlin-
ger-Bugbee larceny case was brought
TO light last Monday morning. At that
time Bugbee came in and said that Keit-
linger had confessed to his brother that
he had taken the money and told him
where he had put it. The two went to
the place and found the remains of the
currency, some twenty-three dollars.
The brother then said he would take
this and get enough to put with it to
make good the amount stolen; with this
announcement he started for Lafayette
county. 1t is also alleged that another
theft Of thirty dollars has been UNI
earthcd. Taking the matter full and
by rascality seems to have been more
than ordinarily rampant in that section
for the past few weeks.

The Platteville Witness says: "Mr.
Thomas Alcock, of this city, fell down
a mineral shaft forty feet deep, on
Monday last. and was so badly bruised
and injured that he will be laid up for a
week or two at least. When he left
home for the diggings he left word with
his brother where he was going, and
not returning at the usual time search
was made and he was found as
above stated, at the bottom of the shaft.
He attempted to descend a shaft in
which no work had been done since
last winter, about one O'Clock, by means
of a rope, which having become rotten,
gave way when lie was but a few feet
from the top, and when the ladder
reached the bottom of the shaft the
rungs which held his hands and feet
gave way and he was precipitated TO
the bottom. Here he was compelled to
lie bruised and mangled until five
o'clock. before he was taken home.
There was some mud and water in the
bottom Of the shaft, and as he struck on
his feet this no doubt had the effect to
break the fall somewhat.

WHAT might very easily have become
a serious blaze caused considerable ex-
element in and about the public school
building in this city last Thursday noon.
School had been dismissed and the
scholars, with the exception of those
who remain in the building to eat their
%luneheons, had gone home. A few
minutes later a girl who was in the high
school room discovered q blaze break
ing out around one of the registers.
She gave the alarm and some of the
larger boys being about the rooms,
with the assistance of the %janitor, put
out the fire, just in time to save the
building. An examination of the burnt
district disclosed the fact that the fire
started from too close contact of one of
the ioists with one of the hot air pipes.
The timber had been charring little by
little until it had gotten into such shape
that n slight allowance of extra heat
set it in a blaze. After this had
once started it crept along the tim
bers until it came to the wall and run up
the wainscoting. 1t was just at this
time hat the fire was discovered and
put out. The damage done amounted
to about fifteen dollars. School in that
room was dismissed for the afternoon
and The damage repaired. This time
care was taken that the fue was far
enough away and the woodwork SO
well protected that there will be no
danger from fire in the future.

LAST Monday was the greatest "hog
day ever Known in this city. Nearly
a thousand hogs were brought in on
that day, of which number S42 remained
here by right Of purchase, the remain

ers, who preferred to wait for a rise.
Teams were in from points as remote
as Glen Haven and Irish Ridge, loaded
down with porkers. If every town in
hog-growing sections contributed as
literally as Lancaster, it would not take
long to glut the market, which perhaps
is fortunate.

HERE comes q report from the
Creamy neighborhood that some wild
animal, said to be a panther, is doing
considerable damage to cattle and the
the feelings of the inhabitants in that
section. According to the person who
furnished the information, quite a party
was GU last week looking for the ''var-
mint but without success. John
Wright came in from hat direction Sat
urday, and learned for the first time,
after crossing Grant, the danger he had
been in, and 1t was suggested that the
animal might possibly the bridge.
The exact time made from that bridge
to the city has not leaked out, but as
Johns hair had assumed a ~perpendicu-
lar posture and he swore he was not
frightened, it is presumed by good
horsemen that the gait was somewhere
dow. in the thirties. 1t seems a little
strange, when You come to think of it.
that persons should be so alarmed over
the presence of an alleged panther
when the tiger has no terrors fol them.
Lots Of the boys who b%rayely buck the
latter beast, sometimes even within the
classic shades of Lancaster, would beg
to be excused when panther is men
toned. Probably they don't care to
don their war-paintfol such Insignificant
game.
