LAST week Deputy Sheriff Perrigo
brought down from Boscobel the second
of the Zeiglemaire boys, Henry, who
with his brother, has been making
things lively for the people of the city
near the bridge for a year or two past.
He was captured by Marshal Woodland
of Boscobel, out in Iowa. Speaking of
the capture the Dial says: ION Friday
last Marshal /. Woodland, armed with
warrant started on the hunt for Henry
and found him at the home of his uncle,
about twenty miles southeast of Elka-
der, Iowa. The Marshal returned with
his prisoner on Monday evening, and
on Tuesday he went before Justice
Wooley, waived an examination, and
on Wednesday morning. in company
with deputy sheriff Perrigo went to the
county jail at Lancaster. Henry, in
talking with the officers, and others,
acknowledged the stealing, in company
with bis brother George, at Meyer Bros.
store and at Reiger's. He also said,
contradictory of the statement of George
that they robbed Parker, Hildebrand &
Co., of salt, coffee, salt, fish, etc. The
| boy, while declaring his father innocent
OF all knowledge of the robberies, stated
that his mother was cognizant of their
doings, and would set up nights when
they were out on an expedition, await
ing their return, and would assist them
in hiding the plumber. That when they
worked store and went home without
a dress pattern fol their mother, she
would abuse them in all manner of ways
The boy seemed penitent and also
seemed to be glad that his work in thai
line was DONE" Henry was separated
from his brother and placed in the fe
male ward with Henning by which ar
rangement he will be unable to concoc,
any fairy tales with his brother, should
he be SO inclined. He will probably bt
sent to the reform school.

PRIZE CoNTEsT.-The programme Of
the Philomathean Defamation and
Recitation Prize Contest may be found
in another column. We may here say,
however, that the exercises were con-
sidered pleasantly successful, and that
all the contestants showed considerable
improvement over their former work.
The merits of several were very nearly
equal, but the prize was awarded to
Miss Helen Strong, who certainly ex-
celled in the exquisite pathos with which
she rendered 1.-The Famine" The at
tendance was about 800, and the re-
ceipts were $24.55. A few post facto
reflections may be opportune:
/. Some of the contestants COM
menced early and practiced faithfully;
while others were little negligent in
preparation.
2. Some accepted criticisms, sugges-
tions, and cautions in rehearsals in q
more teachable spirit, and made more
effort to remember and correct their de-
fects, than others.
3. Probably every fault noticed by
the audience had been pointed out to
the competitors before the contest.
A. Some improved, in some respects,
by the inspiration of an audience; while
others did not succeed as well as in re-
hearsals. This. perhaps, may be partly
attributed to WEAKNESS.
5. Earnest, willing effort Of this kind
is worth more than a year or two of
careless and obligatory performance of
school rhetoricals.
6. A small, definite, and tangible re-
ward often ends in starting efforts that
bear much greater fruit.
q. In one respect, at least, the prize
was more satisfactory than if it had
been larger; for then the competitors
might have been influenced too much
by dollars and cents, whereas now IT
seems evident that they worked mainly
for self improvement and excellence.
3. In the latter sense we trust that
each one gained the prize that was
most sought, and was therefore abund-
antly rewarded for all exertion.
9. The contest will necessarily infIu-
ence not only the participants but all
the students who attended. by giving
them better ideals of excellence in elocu-
ton. and in stimulating greater interest
and effort in this direction.
10. Thestudents ought to have such
contest at least once a year.

On the 22nd and Esd of this month

On the 22nd and Esd of this month
the Congregational church of this city
will celebrate its fortieth anniversary,
with appropriate exercises. The
Mineral Point Convention will meet
with the church and participate in the
exercises. The programme will be
given to the public soon. This church
was organized in the old court house,
on the twenty-frst day of May. 1913,
by Rev. J. L. Stevens, the original men,
bers being seven; Judge Mills and wife
Mrs. Rebecca Mills, Mr.. Daniel Nc
Auley, and wife, MIR. Dexter Ward and
wife, and Miss Mary Ward. OF this
number there now remains but three,
Judge j. L. Mills, Mrs. Ward, and Miss
Mary Ward married and living in
another portion of the country. When
first organized the church was Presby-
terrain in form but was changed after a
few years toa Congregational denom-
ination. The early meetings were held
in the court house and oftener in an old
log cabin then standing in Bushnell
Hollow. In this latter humble structure
the first prayer meeting was held and
the Sunday School was organized. The
school house erected in 1843 was next
used as place of worship until the
erection of the church which was COM
pleted and consecrated December 2,
1851. This edifce, which still remains
standing although transformed into a
dwelling house, is now Familiarity
known as the "Borah place." and was
the home of the society until July II,
1873, when the present fine and COM
modious structure was dedicated and
occupied. The first regularly estab-
lished pastor was Rev. r. Carver, who
came in 1874, and remained until De-
cember 1915. Following him in line of
succession was Rev. o. Littlejohn, who
remained until lS47, when he was sue
ceeded by the present venerable and
beloved pastor, Rev. S. w. Eaton, who,
with the exception of the years he served
as chaplain of the 9TH Wis Vols, leav-
ing the work here for more important
work in the field, has had spiritual
charge of the congregation, working
early and late, with tender faithfulness,
for the welfare and advancement of his
Masters kingdom in this city. The
anniversary exercises will be an event
of more than usual Importance in relig-
ious circles and large attendance
may be expected.

La nine cases out of ten, dislike of
study proceeds from lack of study. If
any particular branch is distasteful, it
is usually because that branch has been
neglected. If one is not interested in
books it is not so much his misfortune
as his fault. To acquire a desire for
knowledge and love for study, the
true method is to-study.

COufI. hlter ne nau expressed desire
to do SO. would seem to show that he
had been initiated into the plan even
then. What the prisoners wanted was
an opportunity, which was furnished
through the cooperation Of Refer.
As soon as the the escape was dis
covered vigorous efforts were at once in
stituted to capture the fugitives and
officers started out in every direction.
Traces however were few and far be-
tween. The trio were alleged to have
been seen west of the city, where they
separated, Fritz going west or north
and Zeiglemaire and Reizer taking to
the south, towards the haunts Of the
latter. Another rumor had it that all
three were seen north of the city. The
truth of these reports or the contrary
was only determined later.
For time clues were scarce and il
looked very much as though the elegant
trio had babe long farewell to Grant
county and its reformatory institutions.
But he who laughs last laughs best, and
it is now the sheriff and his assistants
who will indulge in the latest and most
profitable cachinnatory exercise. IL
was strongly suspected that Fritz would
wish to take last look at the old haunts
around Fennimore. Several things
gave the clue and las if to clinch the
matter a telegram was received Tues
day morning giving notice of the steal
ing of three horses the night before
near that village and few hours later
Sheriff Rewey and Deputy Richards
were on the trail of the thieves out oil
Fennimore.
As they neared Boscobel the tire,
horses were discovered loose and after
a shrewd bit of shadowing and genera
detective work the trail was run up to
the door of party living down OF
the bottoms, southwest of Boscobel
where two of the party had made thei
appearance in the middle of the nigh
and routed out the family to get ;
drink of water. The scent was getting
hotter and was finally run to earth il
an old hay shed out in an open field
some distance from the houses they
had visited during the night. In one
corner was a pile of old hay, the only
thing in the shed. Sheriff Rewey care
fully raised one corner and blacl
hat was disclosed to view, the ha
covered head and the head belonged
to Fritz. There the three were snugly
ensconsed from prying gaze and SAT.
except from the curiosity of a sharp
eyed Sheriff
Fritz showed some brayado as Rich
ards collared him but this did not pre-
vent his wearing the bracelets; the
others surrendered quietly and after
they were securely shackled the inter
esting rascals were loaded into wagon
that happened to be within hailing dis
| lance and taken into Boscobel, from
whence they were brought to Fenni-
more and back to Lancaster on the
evening train, where they were once
more rendered the Inequalities of the
county hotel and given rooms shat will
prevent them trying their little game
two times. The speedy recapture i,
another showing that criminals in this
county have about the same time as
was enjoyed by the monkey and the
parrot in trying to escape the clutches
of the police force of the county.

A SECTION hand named John Fisher.
while working near Sitter last Thurs
day, was wounded in the thigh. with a
splinter from the head of spike maui.
Fisher came into town and the piece,
about the size of grain of corn, was
probed for but could not be found. 1t
was discovered however that it had
passed so close to the Farmoral artery
that a half inch more and the wounded
man would have had tough wrestle
with life At last accounts Fisher was
doing as well as could be expected.

it in stock trades.
