MEMORIAL SERVICES. - In accordance

quarters Department of Wisconsin G..
A. H., that all the posts in the state
arrange for memorial service in some
church on Sunday, May "a, the Tom
Cox Post of this place has invited the
Rev. ,. W. Eaton to conduct such a
service at the Congregational church.
We understand that Mr.. Eaton has &C.
cepted the invitation. 1t is recommend
ed that the post attend in body, and
that the citizens generally be invited to
unite with the Grand Army on that day
in paying tribute to the memory of
those who fell in defense of national
unity.

BUSINESS. Seven conductors on the
Northwestern railroad have recently
been discharged. The reason for the
discharge OF one was that he let a
travelling man ride six miles over his
1000 mile ticket without paying. That
is correct. Conductors are employed to
see that passengers pay their fare, and
not to be generous with the company's
transit.

BLOOMINGTON

and took dinner at the Bloomington
Hotel. Our first acquaintance with
this excellent hotel was made last win
ter, when the mercury was below zero.
This time it was little above Mr..
Woodhouse gave us warm welcome
nevertheless, and a good dinner. We
called on Messrs Woodhouse & BARLEY,
at the Bank, and on the editor of the
Record. The latter we found full of
business as usual, but not too busy for
a chat with brother editor. Our ex-
cellent correspondent from Bloomington
so well represents his town in the HER
AID that there is no need for us to add
anything. We shall soon revisit this
thriving town.
NORTH ANDovER
was our next stopping place. Here we
made the acquaintance of G. ID. Taylor,
whose ''ad'' appears in this issue. AS
night was approaching we had no time
to make the acquaintance of others we
should have been glad to meet, but
pushed on to
GLEN HAVEN
where MIR. Tate gave us shelter from
the wintry blasts. This town has two
good hotels, one kept by Mr.. VIM.
Tate and the other by Mr. Il. Perkins.
The latter is called the Central Hotel,
and the former the Wisconsin House.
We enjoyed our visit with Messrs.
Basford & Humphrey, called on Mr.. w.
N. Ramsey. the bee man. inspected the
lumber of Ii. cortland & Son, and found
it first-class. Their advertisement APP
pears on the first page of the HERALD
this week; also that of Mr.. G. III.
Thiessa. Glen Haven is pleasant
little village, and must be beautiful
place in the summer if summer ever
comes Friday afternoon we drove to
CASsyILLE.
A review of the business of this place
would exceed the limits of our space.
We called at some of the principal bust
ness houses and took some orders for
job-work and advertising. We looked
through the large saw mill and lumber
yard of Mr.. ID. b. Stevens and had a
pleasant chat with him and with his
brother the Rev. G. ID. Stevens, spent
some pleasant moments with Prof. G.
Showalter, Messrs. Kleinpell and son.
Mr. Sneclode and others. We stopped
with Mr.. Otto Rencke ut the Cottage
Hotel, and found it nice and home like,
and in every way first-class. As we
have said, detailed account of our
stay in Cassville would exceed the linn
its of such sketch as this. Cassvile
is IL good point for a town, and if the
railroad goes through, as it is pretty
sure to do, sometime, business will
pick up there, and the town win renew
its youth. The news that work has
been suspended for the present, how
ever, has made the most hopeful Of
them feel little blue On Saturday
we drove home. stopping at
BEETOWN
just long enough to water our horses,
shake hands with the postmaster--w
almost said -postmaster-tak a SUBJ
scription that was waiting for us there,
and say goodbye.

Glen Haven,

Everything bright and cheerful after
the blizzard. The Mississippi river is
all alive with steamboats, with their
electric lights, making night look more
cheerful than daylight. The boating
season is now fairly commenced, with
its two passenger and freight lines,
together with about one hundred steam
ers pushing lumber, making things
lively. Our railroad prospects look
rather gloomy for this year. But it re-
minds me of the lady in foreign land
conyersing with an Englishman in re-
gard to the battle of Bunker Hill. After
speaking of the victory OF burning the
beautiful little city of Charleston.
Yes" answered the lady, "but we
have got the HILL" SO it is with us: if
we have lost the railroad for this year,
we have the old Mississippi all the
same, that for pleasure and conven-
fence of freighting is hard to compete
with. There is very little news in our
quiet village at this time.
Mrs. James Wildman and Mrs. Rich
ard Morsey returned yesterday from
Iowa. Mrs. Morisy having been called
10 visit the death-bed of her mother,
Mrs. Hooks. She returned with the
sad news of the burial of her mother
during her absence. Mrs. Hooks was
one of the oldest residents of the town
of Glen Haven, she being on visit TO
her son at the time of her death.
A couple of our young men started
out for sail on the river during the
dakota" blizzard. The result was
that one of them capsized, but with the
assistance of the other he being right
side up succeeded in landing safe on
shore.
Messrs. James Burton and Ed. Tisdale
have very fine prospect mile above
town for lead of lead ore That there
is plenty of lead ore in our bluffs there
is no mistake, as there has been mineral
taken out in quite large quantities in
former years near our village. The
scarcity of work will have n tendency
to start up our miners again.
The river is high, but falling slowly.
Our fishermen, Mahna and Hilton, are
doing a land office business shipping
fish to Dubuque for the western market.
We had pleasant call from Mr.. w.
q. Chandler. proprietor and publisher
of the HERALD, on Thursday last. He
was accompanied by Mr. Geo W. Gold
smith, son of a former proprietor of
the HERALD, one of the staunch men in
the Office for many years. Call again,
friends Chandler and Goldsmith, when
all is lovely along the river, but don't
bring any more Dokota billiards along
with you.
Z Mr.. Alfred Humphrey and family are
visiting his parents at Patch Grove.
Mi. John Kill and family have re-
turned to their old home in Glen Haven
TO remain permanently.
Mr. George Lsmpkins is shipping
stock as usual at our place.

ing is commencing in good earnest.

burglary at Arthur.

On the night of May 9th, about half
passed eleven o'clock, as Mr.. Alcock
was returning from a prayer meeting
in the country he discovered a light
moving rapidly about in Messrs. Nicho-
las IL Justices store. MIR. Alcock first
thought that some one was sick, and
one of The proprietor's was there for
medicine; as few drugs are kept in
the store. When he came to Mr..
Basye's store he found q rubber coat
This excited some suspicion; and as the
light was still moving about the store he
thought all was not well. He crept
cautiously past the building. ran to
the house of the proprietor and gave
the alarm; and then went back to a
place where he could watch the west
and south sides of the store MIR. Mich
olas awoke Mr.. McKown, and Mr.
Eustice called Constables Enloe and
Cushman and Mr.. Stout also.
The men were stationed around the
store to prevent the escape of the bur-
glar, and Enloe and Cushman took a
lantern and entered the store followed
by Mr.. Alcock.
After carefully searching the store
and finding no one they entered the
cellar. Here they found the burglar.
who was arrested without any resist
ance. He was bound and left in the
custody of Mr.. Enloe. He had taken
twenty dollars in postage stamps, some
tobacco and pair of shoes. which he
had set outside of the window.
He entered the building by removing
the transom from the cellar window. He
passed through the cellar, cut hole in
the door and slipped the bolt and entered
the store. He ransacked the money
drawers and found bogus dollar and
some coppers which he refused to take.
He also opened an envelope that con-
tanned mutilated coin, but this be did
not take. He had no weapons and eff.
fected his entrance into the store by the
aid of m old draw knife.
The Prosecuting Attorney was tele-
graphed for, Wednesday morning by

preliminary examination was held. De-
PENDANT waived an examination and was
bound over, under six hundred dollar

quired bonds he was conveyed to the

gives his name as George Wallace, of

plice, who became alarmed and left
before he was captured.
