her connection with the school there.
Mr.. DeMotte's lecture and illns-
trations were exceedingly well given.
1t was a great disappointment that the
house was not filed. But those who
stayed awsy missed rare entertain
ment. His pictures of sound waves
were revelation and prove that we
live in a world whose wonders our dull
senses fail to perceive and seldom even
dream Of His humor was gcoi. In
morals he emphasized the main point
An improvement that cannot but
attract attention is the new plate glsss
front in j. T. Benefits drugstore. 1t
is now one of the finest show fronts in
the city and pretty much all of our
stores have plate.glass fronts MIR.
Bennett carries many very attractive
goods which he can now display to
advantage. Lancaster is slowly but
surely becoming cosmopolitan in regard
to her buildings as well as her ideas,
change which we are pleased to note.
Grant County's lovers of fine bred
horses will doubtless be pleased to learn
that in short time one OF the best in
the country will be brought here. His
name is Glorieux, meaning glorious.
and he is truly glorious horse. He is
the property of Theodore Calvin. of
this city, and was purchasedsof A. B.
Holbert of Greeley, lows, the we'll
known importer of standard bred
horses. Glorieux will be shown at the
Worlds Fair, Mr.. Holbert having
reserved this right when he sold the
horse.
At tie Congregational church last
Sunday evening, Rev. Mason's discourse
was on Jerusalem and its Environs."
The stereopticon was used during the
evening to illustrate the lecture. Some
of the pictures thrown or the canvass,
were, The Garden of Gethsemane, City
of Jerusalem, Village of Bethany, Beth
lehem and Tombs cut out of solid
rock, forming enormous monoliths.
Last Sunday nights lecture was the last
of this series. These lectures were very
instructive and those who were accus-
toned to attend them will hear with
regret that there will be no more for
some time.
1t is related that an Iowa woman
went into o telegraph Office and in
formed the operator that her husband
had gone to Sioux City to get motto
for q Sunday school. but she had
forgotten to tell him the inscription and
how large the motto was to be. She
wanted to know how long it would be
before her husband could get the par
ticulars if she sent them by telegraph.
She was told. Doubtless the fellow was
startled when he read it, for without
it simply said: Dear
Frank, Booge hotel, Sioux City-Unto
us child is born, eight feet long and
two feet wide.
Mrs. Fred Schneider, who came so
near drowning herself and baby, in
Pigeon creek, near the Hurricane, last
was adjudged insane and
taken TO Mendoza by Sheriff Miller
Mrs. Schneider was severe
ly affected by the loss of two children,
twins, about year ago. 1t is thought
by those who have lived neighbors to
her since, that she has never entirely
recovered from this shock. She would
have drowned her child and
herself had she not been prevented by
Mr.. Jess Daily. The particulars of the
rescue of the babe and woman were
given last week
Never before, In its palmiest day, has
Lancaster had the prospect of so much
building as is already on the books of
our carpenters and masons for one sea-
son. While there is nothing but credit
able buildings en- the list it is probable
that Dr.. j. H. Reeds Orera House and
store rooms will be altogether the
largest and most expensive. The home
for Father Kaluza the pastor of St.
Clements church will likely be next in
worth for this congregation never does
anything by halves. They have added
much to the appearance of our city
during the last few years. We will
mention next week the names Of those
who will build this year.
Mr. William Rowdin has a very fine
new house in the north side of town,
and in it not long ago were gathered
the members Of his family ard they
were fortunate enough to have some
family pictures taken in which four
generations are represented. Burne
Pollock was invited there with his
