He was Chicago drummer and there
fore should have been accustomed to all
sorts of villainies, but unless this 'sower
true tale should meet his astonished
gaze he will swear that the perils of
Chicago sandbagism are as nothing com
pared with the dangers that Turk about
in the corners of Lancaster streets. 1t
is quite probable at the time that he was
trying to beat the best go-as-you-please
record, it did not occur TO him that it
was the first day of April; all the same
it was and he was the victim. 1t APP
pears from the testimony of those who
were deepest in the secret, that with
the usual audacity of his class the
Chicago man laid a wager that he would,
with his captivating presence, succeed
in ''mashing'' some susceptible female
Sunday evening. His boasts were not
exaggerated and with the mashed one
on his arm he braved the northeast
blast as they had sweet converse togeth-
er IN the southeast part of the city. In
the mean time his former companions,
make afraid the successful masher, did
HE them TO the hostelry and there dis
guise themselves in ancient habiments,
until the father of all mischief would
not have recognized them. Then drop
ping down in convenient fence corner
they patiently waited until the COM
mercial traveller and his inamorata
should notice the flight of time and
separate. This they did and with the
disappearance of his victim the masher
turned towards the place of his tempo
rary abode. when all thoughts of his even
ing's conquest were rudely driven from
his mind by gruff voice calling upon
him to stand and deliver, as two burly
forms issued out of the surrounding
gloom. Then did that mighty mashel
turn him and fight valiautly, tearing

fear lending wings to his feet, broke fol
the hotel and liberty with the gait of .
quarter horse nearing the wire, and moi
until the recesses of his room Were
reached did he stop. There, with many
a labored breathing, and with trembling
form, did he relate to his astonished
auditors how he had been set on and at
tackled by band of ruflians. one Of
whom he had thrown over the fence
and laid others low, until increasing
numbers made discretion the better parI
of valor. 1t is needless to add that this
Falstaffian narration was received with
many grains of allowance by his audi
ence, which numbered among lis
members these .'men of buck
RAM" themselves; but they kindly
refrained from narrowing the young
mans feelings by cruel statement Of
hard fact generosity which was ur-
known by the reporter.

The town caucas, held Saturday
afternoon at the court house was short
and sweet after it had been endued
with the breath of life. This latter pro-

in progress, were more powerful than
those of political caucas. Finally the

THERE have been rumors afloat to
to the effect that the Northwestern COM

shops from Galena to this point. A
HERALD reporter investigated the mat

no substratum of facts. The remark
of railroad officials, that they would do
something for Lancaster this summer,
which was relied on as the main ground
for the change claimed, referred sim
ply to proposed Strengthening up

'WHAT we want is some kind of pro-
lection against fire." said prominent
citizen to HERALD man, the other
day. The remark shows that the resi-
dents are waking up to the fact that
they may be without city at most any
time. Should fire get started in the
center of the city, with the wind north,
south, east or west, and blowing fresh,
what would be left of the business por-
ton of the town would be hardly worth
purchasing. Even the macadamizing
of streets, in the opinion of many, should
take back seat until the city has
some means to protect the property
already enclosed in its boundaries.
The new council might tackle the
question and see what could be made
of it in catch as catch can, wreste.

large audience, even the aisles being
