Lean Year Calls.

Among the many notable social events
Of the past week none was more sue
cessful than the Leap Year party at the
Wright house. The arrangements were
made hastily, and at the last moment.
No committees were appointed and no
invitations issued. All who were in
terested spoke to those they met, and
the ball was set rolling.
Cards were sent out to notify the
ladies' that the gentlemen would receive
calls at the Wright House parlors. All
ladies were expected and no card was
necessary. Nor was any invitation
necessary to either gentlemen or ladies'.
A few, mistaking the idea and purpose
of the affair, did not attend because not
specially invited. There we're however,
all told, over hundred and forty people
present, and all enjoyed the evening to
the utmost. Ladies were received from
three o'clock till nine. A long table
was spread in the sample room and an
elegant supper served. The parlor and
private and public dining rooms, as well
as the sample room, were open, and by
eight o'clock, crowded. The gallant
hosts did the honors charmingly, so the
ladies say, and the first corners had each
devoted knight behind her chair to
keep her plate filled With the choicest
of everything, but at last when they
came by the buss load the bewildered
gentlemen did the best they could. Of
the costumes we will only say that each
gentleman looked his best During the
early part of the evening piano music
and some rousing songs enlivened the
company, but after the tables were
were cleared, double sets were formed
in the sample room and Joe Nathan and
Joe Barnett, accompanied by different
young ladies, furnished music for dane
ing.
Between nine and eleven the COM
pany thinned out some but goodly
number watched the old year out and
the new year in.

city one evening this week. and gave il
rs his opinion that no matter which Of
the aspirants secured the gubernatorial
nomination, the republicans would carry
the state as usual. Mr.. Carter is an
anomaly among politicians from the
fact that he does not want official pc.
sition. In 1887, Republicans nominated
him for attorney general without con-
sulting him. and when he was apprised
of the action of the convention he de-
clined, saying that the state was not in
such pressing need of his services that he
felt it necessary TO abandon his private
affairs.

Banjo and Gnitar Concert.

Last Wednesday the thermo meter
went down to a point so low that it
would not have been surprising il the
Banjo and Guitar Club had cancelled
their engagement here rather than take
the ride from PIatteville. But the
music loving public was not to meet
with that disappointment, and full
house gave an enthusiastic welcome to
the musicians when the curtain arose.
The concert was novel one, hardly
any one in the audience ever having
heard more than two of these instru-
ments at time before, and it was q
surprise to find what strength as well
as sweetness could be brought out by
skillful handling. The entertainment
was varied by vocal music. Mr.. l. D..
Rowland sang several baritone solos
in a rich voice, and with excellent
expression. Miss Anna Gussman wa:
the only lady of the company. Her
voice is clear, sweet soprano, and the
enthusiastic encores she received
showed how thoroughly her singing wal
appreciated and admired. At the close
of the concert, the floor was cleared and
general invitation given to remain
and dance. Different ladies from the
company took turns at piano. Th'
Concert Club will be rem embered witt
pleasure and good house would al
WAYS meet them In Lancaster.

An Actual Occurrence.

Not great while ago traveller
CHANGED to be ma store in this state and
while there farmer came in with tub
of butter which weighed net so pounds.
The merchant ran his trier down through
the butter and although it was fair color
and seemed pretty good he remarked
that he could give him but 16 cents per
pound for it. He said the butter had
not been properly worked and was soft
like salve. The farmer took his pay
and went home. Two months later the
same traveller happened in the same
store and in stepped the same farmer
with another tub of butter. This time
the farmer placed the butter on the
counter with the manner of man who
understands his business. The tub was
weighed aud found to contain fraction
over 60 bounds. The merchant ran his
trier down into the tub and on examine
ton of the quality of the butter express
ed some surprise, saying at was gilt
edge" and the best tub he had had for
some time also remarking that although
the price of butter had not materially
changed that he could pay 25cents per
pound for gilt edge. The farmer said
call right, 16 from 25 leaves nine, 60
pounds at cents a pound gain is So 40
My wife and were down at the Farmers
Institute and we got all the pointers we
could on butter and this is the result.
'Five dollars and forty cents gain on the
first tub of butter, just think of it!
Farmers Institutes pay pretty quick
don't they?
Moral-Come to the Farmers Institutes.
They will pay you well for your time

Last Monday, at high noon. Miss
EFlorenee Hill, Of this city, was married
to Mir. John Irwin Marshall, of Milwau-
kee. The wedding took place at the
residence of the brides parents, DIR. and
Mrs. c. w. Hill, the ceremony being
performed by the Rev. Mr.. Pulford.
Miss Hill is one of Lancaster's most pop
ular young ladies and the event was
therefore one Of much interest in pros
pectiye and doubly so in the consumma-
ton, as the affair was brilliant one
and passed off with much eclat. A
large number of invitations were issued
to friends in Lancaster and outside
and at the time announced
Mr.. G. w. Hills pleasant home was
filed with guests awaiting the coming
event. Among those who came from
abroad were Mr.. and Mrs Rindlaub, Mr..
and Mrs. Richards and Miss Fannie
Richards, MIR. Newton. MIR. Colburn,
Mrs. Butler and Mr.. Frank Butler, Of
Platteyille; Mrs. Fisher Palmer, of Cuba
City, Mrs. Little of Springfield, Mr..
Charles Newton, of Dubuque, Mr.. w
ID. Hiestand, of Madison. Mr.. Marshall
Sr. and two daughters. and Mr.. Charley
Hill and wife, were snowbound and
unable to reach here for the wedding.
At twelve o'clock the bride and
groom, with Miss Fannie Richards as
bridesmaid and Mr.. Hiestand as best
man, entered the parlor and the beauti-
full marriage service of the Episcopal
church was then read by Rev. Mr.. Pull
ford and earnestly responded to.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall were soon re.
ceiving congratulations. The bride was
dressed in a charmingly artistic gown
of white corded silk, dsmi-decollete
with train, valenciennes lace, and a cor
sage bouquet of Marechal Mel roses.
The bridesmaid wore a dress of cream
colored albatross cloth, with flowers and
lace. tbs perhaps needless to say that
the groom and his best man wore the
usual suits of conventional black.
After MIR. and Mrs. Marshall had been
congratulated and recongratulated, an
elegant wedding breakfast was served
and "all went merry as marriage
BELL Many elegant gifts were received
for the enumeration of which time fails
us. The warning hand ON the dial
moved on toward the figure four. and
the bride and groom were soon saying
good by to their friends amid renewed
good wishes. Mrs. Marshall wore a
travelling suit of green cloth, tailor made,
with jacket and hat to match. Many
friends accompanied them to the depot
and soon the newly welded pair were
en- route for st. Paul. After the we'd
ding journey is over, Mr.. and Mrs.
Marshall will return to Milwaukee
where they will in future reside. The
best wishes of all their friends go with
them, for long and happy life to-
