John A. Kliudt, Esq, of Cassville
gave a very pleasant call on Monday.
He was called here as an interested
party in the preliminary examination
of the man who in trying to rob Mr.
KS. store in Glen Haven, was wounded
by Mr.. Ed Barr.
No nicer looking or better straw
berries ever came to al editors desk
than those that filled generous sized
box brought us Monday by Mrs. Geo.
UT, of Boice Prairie. They were of
the Bubach variety and three of them
measured At, A, A inches respectively
in circumference. They were as de-
licious as they were large.
The electrical display after the storm
passed over our city last Wednesday
evening was surprisingly beautiful. The
frequent bolts of lightning divided into
innumerable branches which dsrted IN
every direction across the heavens,
giving an exhibition awefully grand
and such as is rarely seen.
At the last meeting of the Alumni of
Beloit College Mr.. T. q. Foster. Chero-
kee, Iowa was chosen class orator for
'93. Lancaster knows Mr.. Foster, knows
him well and heartily assures the Beloit
Alumni that they could not have made
a better of a more worthy choice. He is
a man of universal scholarly and orator
zeal ability
A grand Fourth of July celebration
will be held in the Mankel Grove, six
miles west of this city, on the Blooming
ton road. Extensive preparations are
being madewlth the view of entertain
ing large assembly. Mankel's Grove
is one of the best adapted places for
a Glorious Fourth of July picnic in the
county, and if he weather is fine the
celebration at the Grove this year pro-
mices to be largely attended.
We plead guilty TO having attended
Sells q Rentfrows Enormous and
taking in all we had any use for in
about eight minutes. We beg pardon
of the ladies of the Chicago Quartette
for mentioning them on the same page
with the aforesaid aggregation Of
but we wish to remark that listening to
their entertainment was like coming
into a sun burst over greer fields after
leaving the DEVILS acre in London
fog.
James Woolstenholm. Esq, of Lib
erty, called Saturday to congratulate
us. He says that with the exception OF
centennial year. the water has never
been higher in Gregory Hollow, than il
was last Thursday. Although no i'm
portant bridges were carried away this
time, while in '76 there was hardly one
left, it is because they are much more
securely built now than then. He re-
ports crop prospects fairly good in spite
of the unusual season.
Platteville Witness: Henry Breeze,
the Lancaster stage driver is not to be
stopped with trifes. On Thursday last
when he arrived at the Big Plate, al
Ellenboro, he found the river bottom
covered with the raging torrent. He
put up bis team, borrowed a boat in
which he rowed himself, passengers and
mail across, borrowed team and wa o.
on on the other side and made the trip
to Lancaster on time. Returning he
had to do the same thing again, but got
along without an accident.
Lorenz Rekenthaler had an unusually
fine colt killed by lightning last Thurs
day. A tremendous bolt shivered three
telephone poles some forty rods from
where the colt was standing, and it is
probable that the lightning jumped
from the poles to the wire fence and
following along jumped from the fence
to the colt. Mr. Rekentha'er got fifty
dollars from the Liberty Insurance Co.
for his loss Moral: Insure in the
Liberty Insurance Co., or put ground
wires on your wire fences.
