EDITOR MISUNDERSTANDING the sum
mer and early autumn evenings passeis
on our streets have been ANNOYED by
crowds of boys, who seem bent on
making night hideous with their bois-
ferrous shouts, and who make it I'M
pleasant if not actually dangerous for
ladies and children to pass along the
walks. Many questions are being agi-
tated in our community. Speakers
come from abroad and large audiences
gather to hear questions discussed,
which become the subject of argument
at home and on the street But there
is subject the Importance of which we
cannot oyerestimate, that has appar-
emily little hold upon public attention; a
subject of greater moral social and even
political Importance than any at issue
between the political parties of the day.
1t is the home training Of orr children.
While we are listening to the discussion
Of the political issues of the day by this
or that candidate, where are our boys
and girls? While we are hearing with
eager interest plea for prohibition, or
singing with fervor in temperance
meeting, where is my wandering boy
tonight" Do we know where our boys
are? If not, is it not our business to
know? and not only to know where they
are but what they are doing, what they
are thinking about and interested in?
There are places in this town where no
father or mother would wish son TO
60, which are open to all who may
choose TO enter. But some will say, 81
know my boy would not go to a saloon.
Yes, but there are other temptations
thrown in his way. The bowling alley
seems less harmful TO him than the sa-
loon, but there is the same company,
and it leads to the same thing in the
end. That he is not in saloon or even
a ten pin alley argues no immunity
from danger. If he is on the street,
you may be sure he is not safe When
one sees the crowd of boys gathered on
the streets here at night. or sitting in
some Swallowed corner talking in sup
pressed tones, he can but think mischief
is brewing. Now we have candidate
TO present for the consideration of the
voters of this city, and their wives, who
may have a vote on this question too.
Our candidate is Home. Make it bright
and pleasant for your children and keep
them in it We plead also for protec-
protection of home interests, and
industries among our boys and girls.
We would recommend prohibition too.
the absolute prohibition of boys and
girls running about our streets al night
unattended, drifting into no one knows
what mischief. Let us remember that
these boys are soon to become men, and
will take our places in the social and
political concerns, which are now alb
sorbing our attention; our girls will
soon be women, and have in their turn
homes to make happy or wretched; and
the fitness of each in their own sphere
will depend largely upon the home
training we give them. Let us see to it
that our bows and girls are at home at
night. or are at least in good company.
PATER FAMILIAs.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1884-10-09

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.-A small emil
grant party, consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Caron and his son and sons wife,
with their three children. from Green
Bay, Michigan, arrived here last week
on their way to Nebraska. They had
shipped their goods to this point, and
were intending to proceed from here
overland to their destination. Just be-
fore they arrived they received the sad
news from the home they had left, of
the death, by drowning, of a daughter
whom they had left behind. Mr.. Caron
Immediately rented small house owned
by Mrs. MorehouSe, in the southeast
part of town, for his family and re-
turned TO Green Bay. The following
are the particulars of the sad accident:
On Monday evening, Sept. -, Miss
Aureiia Caron was returning from the
house of DR.. Ellsworth, in Green Bay,
where she had been working ut dress
making, to her boarding place in Fort
Howard. The evening was very dark,
and = heavy storm was coming on.
Her way led across draw bridge. which
was open for the passage of boat. A
gentleman who was on the bridge with
n horse. waiting for the draw to close
so that he could pass on, saw q woman
approaching from the other side. The
draw then lacked three or four feet of
being closed. and he supposed she
would stop and wait for it. His
attention was turned away for
moment, and when he looked
again the woman had disappeared. He
thought, too, that he heard a splash in
the water He Immediately notified the
bridge-tender, but as the storm then
broke upon them with terrible fury,
nothing could be done. The next
morning the authorities were notified
and search was made, which resulted
in the finding of the body of the unfor-
tunate lady. Miss Caron was about
thirty years of age, young lady of
excellent character, and highly respect
ed BY all who knew her. Her afflicted
family have the sympathy of the people
of Lancaster as we'll as those of Green
Bay and Fort Howard.

CHURCH SERVICES The Episcopal
church has been reopened, and services
will be held there at the usual hours,
morning and evening, by the rector
Rev. Samuel d. Pulford The oppor-
tunity of again attending this form of
worship here is highly appreciated by
a large number of Episcopalians, and
many others who enjoy the service. A
new organ-the generous gift of Mr..
Clay Dillon, of Denver, Colorado, has
been selected from the store of Mr.. A.
Michaelis, by Miss Edith Fisher, and
choir of singers will assist in the SER
vice. The church needs some repairs,
both inside and out. which will all come
in good time. We learn that Mr.. Dill
lon has also made provision for paying
an organist. A few more who are will
ling to put their hands in their pockets
for this good cause are needed to give
the church more attractive appear
ance.

position rs compoStor in the HERALD
office for several months preceding the

few weeks ago, to go home to recuper-
ate, that his young, bright and promis-
ing life would 90 out so soon. Bright,
energetic, always trustworthy and man.
