That HannY Affair.

Owing to the fact that the marriage
Of Prof. Wood and Miss Olive Muesse
occurred on our publication day
last week, we were restricted to nee
essarily brief mention of the affair,
which the wide circle of friends and ac-
quaintances of the contracting parties,
we trust, understood to be in the nature
of an apology. The ceremony took
place at o'clock on the 10th, the Rev.
S. d. Pulford officiating in the beauti-
full rite of of the Episcopal service. A
large number of invitations were out to
the friends of both, in and out of tho
city, and some fifty of their chosen
friends gathered at the elegant resi-
dence of Mr.. Henry Muesse, the brides
father, in the northwestern part of the
city. Phe parlors were handsomely
decorated with many kinds of flowers,
and the 'slovers' knot, of white flowers,
was especially noticeable. Soon after
the ceremony, delicious refreshments
were served and the banquet was char
acterized by general good cheer and
happy congratulations. The bride was
attired in a lovely suit Of cream colored
tulle, with garniture of white lace and
with modest ornaments. 1t was, taken
all in all. one of the happiest affairs
that has ever taken place in our city.
Many beautiful as we'll as useful tokens
of esteem were presented, which we
give below. The happy couple left on
the o'clock train for Meadville, Pa.
expecting to return about the 10th of
September. The following is list of
the presents:
Gold watch and chain, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Muesse.
Silver cake dish, Mr.. aud Mrs Geo. Goldsmith

Death Of Mr.. James A. Jones.

Last Sunday morning at five O'Clock
Mr.. James A. Jones passed away from
this life. For the past year he has en-
dured with pathetic patience the most
intense suffering. and at last death has
laid its healing touch upon him. Mr..
Jones was born in Salem, Westmore-
land county, Penn, in 1918, and came
to Grant county in the spring of 1914.
He began his Wisconsin life by teach
ing at jamestown. Fairplay and Hazel
Green. Settling at length IN Hazel
Green, he engaged in the drug business.
and remained in thatplace fourteen years
during which time he held the positions
of town clerk and Justice of the peace.
He was afterward elected county treas
urer, and came to Lancaster with his
family to reside permanently. The po-
sition of county treasurer he held for
four years, and at the expiration of his
second term of Office he entered into
partnership with Mr.. George Howe in
the mercantile business. He withdrew
from this firm after two years, and with
his brother, Mr.. w. ID. Jones. opened a
drug store here in 1866. HIS brother
soon removed to Hazel Green, and Mr.
Jones carried on the business alone
until Sept, 1882, when he took as part
ner Mr.. I. w. Bryan. Two years ago
he sold out his interest to Mr. Bryan
and retired from business, feeling no
longer equal to the cares it brought.
He was consistent and devoted men,
Dor OF the Congregational church, of
which he has for some years been a
trustee and deacon. The influence of
his Christian life and death must be felt
by all who knew him. Mr.. Jones was a
man whose Christianity was manifested
in the simplest deeds of everyday life
as well as in his devotion TO the church
whose faith he accepted. He was man
of great strength of character. Honest
aud sincere, his success in life was the
natural result of his steadfastness of
purpose and quiet determination. His
life was unostentatious and simple. but
his heart was large for love and pity.
and for helpful deeds. Though his face
will be seen among us no more, we can
not think him wholly gone. He is with
US still in an influence toward better
things, and deeper hold upon the faith
which strengthened him in bis last
hours.

Physiology I'm Our Schools.

The law passed by the legislature last
winter, relative to the study of physiol-
ogy and hygiene in our schools, is as
follows: mo certificate shall be grant
ed to any person to teach in the COM
mon schools of Wisconsin, after the
first day of January, 1886, who has not
passed satisfactory examination in
physiology and hygiene with special
reference to the effects of narcotics and
stimulants upon the human system"
This means that all who teach in this
state must prepare to undergo examina-
ton in above branches next spring or
this fall, in addition to those already
required. This may not be hailed with
much pleasure by the teachers general
ly, for .smuch study is WEAKNESS to the
flesh,'' and the work now required is
such that the two days devoted to ex-
animation in each place are, for most
of us, busy ones even if the third grade
only is sought after The law has for
years demanded work in physiology OF
the teachers in several of the states for
the lowest grades of certificates and
now Wisconsin has stepped into the
same line and the legal Thou shalt"
again comes to the teacher and the
schools in tone that admits no DISC
bedience. In order that this work
might be made pleasant, attractive and
profitable. the state board of health has
examined and approved of several text
books, among which is book of $50
pages CT plainly written instruction on
the subject in hand.
The name of the book is chow We
Live, or the Human Body, and How to
Take Care of It." and it is written by
James Johonnot and Eugene Bouton.
The book. when ordered in quantities,
will cost So cents, laid down at an ex-
press office; single copies, 40 cents. by
mail Any one desiring them must adj
dress ID. Appleton g. Co., 152 and l54
Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill. 1t is not
intended that the work to be done in
this branch in our schools shall be of a
very technical nature, but that it shall
be practical and of value to the pupil.
1t has always seemed strange that while
everything should be secondary to the
preservation of good health our COM
mon school work has made hygienic
instruction one of the least things, if,
indeed. it has not ignored it altogether.
Dr. bio Lewis, in his health maxims,
says: "A healthy fool is happier than a
sick Solomon" Is he not about right
and have we shown any great amount
of wisdom in attempting to stuff pupils
with the exact sounds of difficult yowels
and consonants, the intricate science
of civil government and the health
of the body polite, while the health Of
the body human has received little OF
one of the exercises of our coming in
stitutes. Nothing of a very scientific
nature will be taken up, but daily.review
of certain portions previously assigned,
and the best methods of presenting
the subjects to pupils will be considered.
All teachers should provide themselves
at once with textbook on the subject
and endeavor to prepare for the work.
trust all will see the Importance of this
both to themselves and pupils. Very
respectfully, CHAs. l.. HARPER.

Albert Zimmerman, who has been at
tending school at Valparaiso, Ind, was
at home on short visit last week. We
understand he has accepted the position
of principal of the Bloomington school.
j. G. White has field of winter
wheat which is as large as it usually
grows. We saw sample bunch at A.
E. Storrs, which was five feet, eleven
inches in length. The field has an
average height of more than four feet.
Some estimate the probable yield per
acre will be upwards of thirty bushels.
The seed was sent 10 Mr.. White from

Our town is visited daily by hundreds
of people from the south, travelling north
on the floating palaces of the Missis-
sippi magnificent steamers), often
having fine brass bands on board, re-
minding US of our city life years and
years ago on the banks of the Hudson.
Our harness maker, Mr.. Robert Ber-
renger, has new boarder in the shape
of a nine-pound girl Terms of board
reasonable.
Mr. William Weaks is still sick, but
gaining slowly
We have new fishery started by
Parkins & Bates, where fish alive or
dead can be had at all times.
Messrs. William Brown and Joseph

ly call on Thursday last They were on
q fishing tour and met with good sue
cess with the silver hook-a hook that

Mr.. Henry Mok has new pool table
at cost Of two hundred and fifty dol
lars.
Our farmers are very busy securing
the hay crop, which is getting to be
quite an important ono. The harvest
in fall wheat and rye has also COM
menced, but il is not very extensive.
Corn never looked better at this time
OF year than it does now. Other crops
look equally promising. We have been
very fortunate in this section of coun-
try in regard to storms and cyclones,
no damage being done as yet.
On Tuesday last, as Glenn A. Kidd
was driving over what is called Wild
man bridge, it broke down, wagon,
driver and horses all going into the
creek. The wagon was loaded with
dairy salt for Bloomington creamery,
also fine box of honey belonging to
w. N. Ramsey. Driver and horses
came out all right, although the
fall was about ten feet. Honey and
salt grew considerably less after COM
ing in contact with the water. Our
efficient town board replaced the old
bridge with new one. | suppose the
town will have to pay the damage.
| There is to be an excursion on the
steamer Josephine Monday evening, 10
arrive at Glen Haven at half-past seven
P. NJ. There is TO be music and dane
ing on board, which will suit the young
folks and some OF the old. 1t is ex-
pected there will be quite crowd from
Glen Haven and surrounding country.
Our town is infested with all kinds of
beggars almost daily. Some without
arms, some without legs. some grinding
away at hand-organs, and lastly band
of gypsies begging food and stealing
grain from farmers granaries- trad
ing horses and telling fortunes being
their principal business.
Trade is dull and will be until the
new crop begins to move. But hard as
the times are, machinery is selling as
freely as ever, draining the country OF
a good portion OF the surplus money
amongst farmers. Oar country will
not be prosperous until there is more
manufacturing done at home. Wehaye
plenty of water power and as good me-
chanics as the world produces. Why
don't it start up? Il.

Our course now lay along the Mill
Branch, and thence to Tufa Falls, some
times called Specimen Springs" Near
this we met Hon. j. V. HOLMAN who.
in company with three ladies, was lust
returning from the scene of beauty and
grandeur for which | was in search, and
they all seemed to speak of the place in
terms of admiration. Upon reaching
the place | took seat. not upon
Brussels carpet, nor cushioned chair,
but upon an old piece of drift-wood
sat down and Toasted my eyes upon this
beautiful piece of scenery. There is
many a man who has paid 25 to so
cents to see the whirlpool rapids below
suspension bridge on Niagara river and
from 8 to S. before he got away from
there, and then not seen anything more
beautiful than this, and if had it with
in miles drive of Chicago and three
acres of land with it, | think | should
have as fine thing as anyone need to
want, as such thing would be for
tune for the one that had it. Here we
see a spring about twenty or thirty
yards above the bluff and the water
runs down over very beautiful boulder
to the branch. 1t has some thirty or
forty feet fall | should Judge, and the
water runs over this projecting rock so
gently and beautifully that if person
will sit here few minutes he will be-
come enraptured with the beauty and
loneliness of the scene. We find the
moss gathers on this great rock and re-
mains there, and the water running
over and among it the moss becomes
petrified. If any one who reads this
should be in the neighborhood OF Big
Patch he should be sure to GO and soc
Tufa Falls by all means.
1t appears TO me that this vicinity is
q grand place for an apiary as there are
great number of Lynn trees from
which there can be an abundance of
fine honey gathered.
Tuesday evening the Ministerial asso-
citation of the Platteville district opened
at Georgetown. There the M. E.
preachers were all together and were
to remain until Thursday evening, but
on account of several absentees we
could not hold them longer than Thurs
day noon, when they made an adjourn
ment sine die after very pleasant
meeting. | understand that it has been
one of more than average interest all
through. In the evening we had very
good little talk on temperance from Mr.
G. A. Joslyn, of Benton, though the
rain was the cause of breaking up to a
considerable extent the gathering to-
gether of the people.
We have here an artist, Mr.. Cham
bers, of Bloomington, who is sketching
all of our farmhouses and everything
else he can get his camera pointed at.
He is having big run at Georgetown
and is doing good work.

A PECULIAR Casa very peculiar
case in fairiery has been pulling the
veterinarians of Lancaster the past
week, the patient being two-year-old
colt belonging to DR.. Odgers-one of
the handsome pair of blacks which he
has already partly broken and driven
together. ABOUT ten days ago the colt
began to 90 lame in one fore-foot, and
was soon unable to stand upon it, the
whole leg becoming badly swollen. A
hole was found in the foot where it was
supposed a nail had been stuck, but no
other sign of injury was apparent. A
green watery substance exuded from
the leg, and the swelling continued until
the skin burst. after which the flesh be-
gan to fall off from the front of the leg
until the bone was nearly bare half way
to the knee. The case is thought 10 be
one of blood-poisoning. Last week it
was not thought possible to save the life
of the animal. but he seems now to be
considerably better and will probably
pull through.
