A white oak tree was cut down a
few weeks ago on the farm belong

south Of Lancaster, which was
twelve and half feet in circumfer-

and their axes, furnished the power
to cut the tree into cord-wood. So
says the Teller.

Extensive improvements are be-
ing made in and around the M. E.
church. The high picket fence has
been removed from the front of the
building, which greatly improves its
giving better view of
the large and beautiful structure.
We understand that the wood work
is to be reprinted throughout, the
floor of the church carpeted, and a
place for the choir arranged and
fitted up behind the pulpit, and
other changes made. The work is
in charge of a committee of ladies of
the church, who are carrying it for
ward with commendable zeal.
Lancaster Teller: VIII H. Clark
with bag and baggage" moved to
a farm near Mineral Point this
week. For the past two years he
has tried to raise the wind" at
but the wind and the
rains together had the better of
him. The difficulties he encoun-
tered two years ago especially, were
very discouraging. Through the
whole summer he found it imposs-
iblc to lay brick without contend
ing with drenching rains, though
he worked night and day. The
was loss-outgo more
than income. Last year, at times
when he was ready for moulding it
was not much better. VIII is a
never-ti firing worker; so is his young
wife. They have energy and pluck
that on the farm can only be beaten
by desperate i'll luck. Their friends
regret their leaving Lancaster but
the best wishes follow them.
The State Board of Health has
issued a circular letter ito all town
boards, village boards, and common
councils of cities in the State of
Wisconsin," calling attention to the
provisions of chapter 1877, laws
of 1888, which makes obligatory
'the organization of board of
health in every town, village and
city in the State, within thirty days
after each annual election; the APP
pointment of a health officer by
every board of health within ten
days after its organization; and the
report of contagious diseases by all
The Board of Health
the law as one of great i'm
portance and as capable of being
made of very great benefit to the
people of Wisconsin. The law is
entitled IAN act for the better pro-
lection of public health" and the
people who are directly interested
in the carrying out of its provisions
should heartily and promptly sec
ond the efforts of the board in I'M
dertaking to do so. The board
calls attention to the fact that a new
and very important feature of the
law is that it requires physicians
under penalties to report all cases
of smallpox, scarlet fever, dipthe-
ria or other dangerous contagious
disease occurring in their practice
to the health board of the locality
in which such contagious disease
exists, a precaution which must be
of immense value in the prevention
of epidemics.
