WE thought Rice was uncommonly
quiet when he was down here last week
but it now appears he was busy with
thoughts of long ago. What Bob
really thought is thus described in the
Dial:
in many old settled towns of the
west, as well as of the east, one who has
been absent for eight years, on return
ing, would not lind that those great
changes had taken place that may be
found in the new towns of the west.
The exception to this state of things
however. is to be found in the city of
Lancaster, the shire town of Grant
county. Lancaster of to-day. as com
pared with the Lancaster of eight years
ago is an entirely different corporation.
OF course, the same old cow may be
seen standing at the town pump; the
same old railing about the court yard
fence; the same old piles of wood fill
ing the streets; the same snow and
ice-covered sidewalks. But the inn
proyements, otherwise, are so great
that one nearly forgets those old land
marks. The magnificent and suhstan-
tial business buildings that have been
erected; the neat and expensive, resi-
dences that have been built, surround
cd with attractive grounds; the increase
in the number of mercantile houses, of
mechanical shops. of professional men
and of population shows an increase
seldom to be found in a city of Lancas-
ter's years. Everything seems to be
carried on in q more progressive spirit
| than of yore. New faces are to be seen
on the streets and in the business places
a show of push is plainly to be seen.
1 This the older residents of Lancaster
attribute to the arrival Of the railroad
/ to that city. Ii may be the sole cause
and it may not. At all events the
change has taken place and has been
even more rapid than most people would
have any idea Of. especially those who
have been frequent visitors to the city.
/ Among the recent erection of build
/ ings, are those of Hon. John G.. Clark.
/ Mr.. Joe Nathan and Mr.. John Oswald
4 are prominent business buildings. DIR.
| A. IL. Barber and Mr.. r. b. Show
alter have done their part towards I'M
proving the residence buildings The
new postoffice is neat and commodi-
Gus place for the care of the United
States mails, and it is TO be hoped that
the popular postmaster of that city will,
in his more commodious quarters regain
to large degree. the health he has
! lost in the close, cramped quarters he
had occupied for the ten years past. In
passing, it were well to mention the
large, convenient and attractive opera
house, owned by the Hyde brothers. 1t
is building of which the people at the
county seat may well feel a proud IN
terest in, and should be well and freely
ratronizel on all occasions.

THERE is an old saying that ''bad
penny always returns, - but on the point
of good coin the saw is strangely silent.
Hence the appearance of that king oil
good fellows, Jim DAILY, among his
friends here Saturday evening without
previous notice, is the harder to be ac-
counted for. However the friends afore-
said did not stop to speculate much but
proceeded to business in a manner that
would have made Jim carry his right
arm in n sling had he not become case
! hardened to this sort of welcome. But
the recipient seemed to take to it kindly
and all was well. Jim is now connected
with the Whitehall Sewing Machine
manufacturing company of Milwaukee,
where he occupies the responsible posi-
ton of adiuster, not of finances but of
sewing machines, every one of which
has to pass through his hands and re-
ceiye the seal of his approval as being

are turned over to the mercies of Il o
sharp-eyed agent. DAILY says the sue
cess of this company is phenomenal.
They make a machine which for speed,
light draft, self-threading shuttle and
several other pecuiarities, surpasses
anything made in this line. The result
has been that although the works have
been opened barely six months the east
ern demand for the machines is re-
markable. In the west, where but little
effort has been made to introduce the
Whitehall, the trade is steadily increas-
ing. During the past six months over
1000 machines have been put on the
market and the works are being run to
their full capacity to supply the demand.
DAILY backed up his statements BY the
proper display of documents which left
no grounds for disbelief even if we had
not known Jim rs Il gentleman of such
vcracious habits that he ALWAYS carries
little Ratchet along with him in his
travels Great are the Whitehall works
and great is Jim DAILY adjuster for the
same, may his shadow never grow less

MENTION was made some time ago in
HE HERALD of fine mineral prospect
which had repaid the efforts of John
Stone and VIII Baltic. on the farm of
the latter The prospect has lately
developed into we'll defined lead, of
such promise as to merit the saying that
they have struck it rich. A thirtv-five
pound nugget of fine mineral is on ex-
hibition at Stone & Hassell's drug store
and much larger ones are as thick as
mosquitoes in June. 1t is the opinion
of good judges that 100, 900 of mineral
will be taken out before the lead is ex-
hausted. The boys have certainly cross
ed the lucky streak and we congratu-
late them on this happy result of their
industry. As might be expected the
mineral discovery has created consider
able excitement in that neighborhood
and number of prospecting shafts
have been sunk but thus far with no
startling results.

Two OF a Kind.

The placid current of every day affairs
has been considerably rufiled of late
owing to conflict of opinions in regard
TO who should furnish the wind that was
to stir the sales on market day. As an
nounced in THE HERALD few weeks
ago, the association of farmers, who
have had the market day proceedings
in charge for the past three years, met
and elected new committee and APP
pointed Messrs. Henry Keene and Chas.
knapp as auctioneers for the occasion.
On the last sales-day and the first to
occur after the new arrangement had
been entered into, Geo. Mckinney APP
peared upon the scene as opposition
| auctioneer The association asked he
| authorities TO remove him, but this they
could not see their way clear to do.
The experience of that day however
made the fact plain enough for man
with good eyesight, that if this double
headed arrangement was persisted in it
would soon make market day a thing of
the past Accordingly steps were taken
to bring the matter before the common
council with the hope that the COM
bined wisdom of that body would find
remedy.
The members of the association
claimed on their part, that they had in
augurated the sales-day and worked it
up until it had become quite an impor-
tant day, farmers bringing in their
stock for miles around in order to take
advantage of the chances offered to get
rid of stock at good prices. Having
done this they thought they ought to be
protected in their right to choose such
persons for auctioneers as they saw fit.
Mckinney on the other hand claimed
that he held a state license and was only
endeavoring to gain an honest living by
selling anything offered at public auc-
ton. His manned hand prevented him
from seeking employment as a laborer
and this was the way he had of getting
living and he thought he had a right
to sell on any day on which he saw fit.
The whole matter was brought up
before the council last Thursday even
ing with the result of throwing both
parties out of court; the council claim
ing as neither had taken out license
under the city charter they had no
jurisdiction. A minority of the council
held that if the market association had
organized under the charter the council
would have right to recognise their
agent as city auctioneer and prevent
others from interfering The remain
ing members of the body held that the
city authorities could not interfere to
prevent any one wishing it obtaining
license and when once obtained they
could not prevent the holder from pur-
suing his calling as a licensed auctioneer
at any time he pleased. Under these
circumstances a compromise was effect
ed by which Mckinney is added to
Keene and Knapp as auctioneers on
sales-day, which agreement will hold
until caucus day, when a meeting of the
farmers will be called to consider what
arrangements to make for the future.
