is now very low "if taken soon.n The

The advertisement referred to is paid

If "the Editor" attended to his own bust

his typos would not have to tell around
that he waits until THE HERALD is is

When"the Editor''gets that''position of

search of pleasure and country air, lost
their way and wandered to the pirates
retreat. Frederic saw them, fell in love
and renowned the piratical maid, Ruth,
at once, whose love had been accumula-
ting forty-seven years. Mabel also be-
came enamored of Frederic. and some
first-class acting was done in the shape
of love making between the two.
While this love agony was rolling out to
delightful music. the pirates returned
from their voyage and captured STAN
ley's daughters, with whom they pro-
posed to become 'conjugally matrimoni-
fed by doctor of divinity. who is To-
Gated in this vicinity" The pirates
were: Messrs. j. I. Hicks, A. Schmitt,F.
Burr. T. w. Burke, III. Burke, G. III. Bax-
ter, Jno. Muesse, Ed. Hyde, F. Barnett,
Z. Pollock. In the midst of the tribula-
ton incident upon the capture of the
daughters, Major General Stanley, 10
the person of Mr.. Chas. Orion, trapped
out in martial array, marched in. He
presented fine appearance and was
greeted with continued applause from
the audience.
| After Frederic had concluded to marry
SANKEY'S daughter, he was notified by
the Pirate King that his birthday fell on
the Goth of February-leap year; so that
by simple arithmetical process he was
but five years old, and he must there
fore continue to serve as pirate appren-
tice.
Space will not permit us to give more
than slight thread of this great opera
with its many characters. But after a
time police force, gayly uniformed and
lead by Mr.. Thode Burr, Sergeant OF
Police, consisting of the following gentle
men:-Messrs. E. Lowry, r. Orr, L. A.
Jackson, F. Meyer, L. Orion, Geo. Hyde
and w. Pollock, fell upon the piratical
gang, and, in the name of Queen Vic
toria, overcome and civilized them.
Mabel married Frederic and Ruth
joined hands with the inimitable Ser.
geant of Police. The large audience
was happily surprised in our home tai
ent, and we give it as our unsolicited
opinion that this is the right place for
theatrical managers to find true material
for their business.
DR.. A. H. Barber is entitled to great
credit for his help in arranging this
home opera, and the community at large
appreciates the tireless energy employed
by every character in getting so diff
cult piece of music and acting before
the public in SO short time.
1t was repeated Tuesday evening to a
good house.

REMoDELING. -Messrs, G. ii. Baxter
u Co. are remodeling and reftting their
store building, in this city, for the better
accommodation of their large and
growing business. By the improve
ments in progress they have easy access
to the second story, which has been
handsomely fitted up. New counters
and shelving have been added to the
first floor, and, withal, Messrs. Baxter
& Co. will soon have store of which
they may well feel proud.
PoLITICAL.-Calls for about every
convention to be held by the Republic
cans of this congressional district this
fall, appear in our columns this week.
Now is the time for every man to avail
himself of his rights as voter and citi-
zen. After the caucuses and conven-
tons are held, don't stand around the
street corners and bemoan the lament
able condition of our political affairs.
and boast of your superior knowledge
and how things would have been done
if you mad been there, but attend the
primaries yourself and if YOU have any
thing to say, say it, and not leave the
most important part of the campaign
work for your neighbor to do, while you
stay at home and attend to your bust
ness. 1t Is every mans duty to attend
the primaries as much as to go to the
polls and cast his vote on election day.
ELOPED AND SHoT.-Peter Folger
married man who has for some time
lived IN the town of Scott, this county,
eloped with l4-yearold girl named Ella
Childs, deserving his wife and babe.
Wednesday night the officers found the

arrested and locked up in Jail. Thurs
morning when the jailor went to bis
cell he found Folger dead, with two
bullet holes in his right temple. Folger
was German, and about 80 years of age.
He had recently come from Charles
City, Ia, where he had sold valua-
BILE team of horses belonging to his
mother-in-law, and had in his possess.
ion considerable money. He was re-
turning to Iowa with the girl, whom
he had induced to go with him. The
case appears to be somewhat compli
Gated. Up to this writing no verdict
has been rendered by the coronor's
jury.

just what we want to say and heartily
second, that, everything indicates n
large and interesting reunion at Lam
caster. The interest taken by the men,
bers of the Iron Brigade in the Fourth
Annual Reunion, to occur at Lancaster
on the 2Sth, indicates certain success.
Those who were present in Milwaukee
two years ago and at La Crosse last
year, will never forget the pleasures of
those occasions. The Lancaster meet
ing will be as good, or better, than its
predecessors. The comrades and people
of Lancaster have been Jealous in their
efforts to do their part, and enough has
already been done to insure complete
success. The members of the six COM
panies in that part of the state will at
tend in good force, thus enabling the
boys to meet many they have not met

Small circulars distributed plentifully
about the city last week gave due notice
of the affair, and at 7:30 o'clock, on
Monday. August 16, large stream of
pleasure-loving people began to flow in
to Hyde's spacious hall and continued
to flow until every seat, up stairs and
down, was occupied. Inspection from
the stage disclosed such sea of pleas
ant, intelligent faces as has not been
gathered under one roof in Lancaster
for many long day, and to an Initial
ed eye it was evident that it had under
gone purging of all bile-aniniosity
previous to its coming and was willing
to be satisfied with any effort whatever
eminating from the slanting boards.
Shortly after s o'clock Mr.. Geo. ID.
Waters, musical director, rendered an
overture on the piano, which elected
some applause, and at its finish the cur
tain arose disclosing scene of pictur-
esque wildness and piratical festivity.
The waiting audience was at once, and
for thirty-fve cents head, transported
to rocky sea-shore on the coast OF
Cornwall. In the distance lay calm
ocean, and the foreground discovered q
cavern, around the entrance of which
were seated in small groups-eating
drinking, playing at cards and fully
armed-the noted Pirates of Penzance
They were a hardy looking lot and
wore their costumes and characters well
One or two piratical noses doomed con
spicuously past the rocky point and out
into the bay, whose delicacy of tint
must have drawn a heartfelt groar
from the venerable sepulchres of tn,
old masters; or made Bacchus blush fol
the quality of ''rcd-eye' used in these
degenerated days. Mr.. w. G. Chand
Ter, in the character of Samuel, Lieu
tenant of the Pirate King, passed from
one group to another, filling the cup.
from a flask. Prof. Fairweather, al
Frederick, a lad apprenticed to the ri
rate King by the maid, was seated in ;
Respondent attitude, with Miss Ameis
Schmitt, as Ruth the piratical maid
kneeling at his feet. All sang:
Pour oh pour the pirate sherry!
Fill, oh fill the pirate glass!
And, to make us more than merry,
Let the pirate bumper pass

For to-day our pirate prentice

Here's good luck to Frederic's ventures

Frederick arose and came forward
with Mr. viii Trowbridge, who repre-
sented the Pirate King. Frederick wa
notified by the King that the period 0
his apprenticeship was now at an en-,
and from to-day you rank as full
blown member of our hand" Freder
lex answered: To-day am out of m,

ever" Ruth, the piratical maid, CAM
forward with the remark that her minC
had been long gnawed by the cankerinl
tooth of mystery, and she proceeded tt
explain Frederic's position in it'll
song, as the whole pirate crew were sur
prised to hear that he was about to leav'
them.

POISONED. neighbors of w. E..
Barden, of Madison, superintendent
of the bodybuilding department of
this division of the Chicago & North
western railway, were aroused about
supper time last Monday evening by
loud cries from his residence. Hastily
entering the house, the entire fami-
ly, consisting of Mr. Barden and his
wife, his nephew, a young man of TWEEN
ty, and two little girls, who are neices,
were discovered PROSTATE on the floor
and in great agony. DR.. Jackson was
called, and soon discovered that it was
case of poisoning, which would have
proved fatal had relief been a little
longer delayed. 1t seems that the fam
ily had eaten cake for dinner, favored
with extract of vanilla, which, as is of
occasional occurrence, proved to be
poisonous. The family are now out of
danger, although Mrs. Barden is still
quite ILL., Their residence is in the
Third ward. Madison, and they are well
and favorably known IN this city.
