lesson for religious workers. In the
evening. "Paurs travels" illustrated

thing is now in readiness Prayer ser
vice in the social room each evening
during the remainder of this week
The Sunday evening service will be
under the auspices of the mems Sunday
evening club. This movement promises
10 be civic 10 less than religious. and at
a conference last Sunday evening he
suggestion was made that a mldweek
meeting be held soon to take into con-
sideration measures looking to the gen.
eral welfare of our city. An announce
ment for such meeting may be made
on Sunday evening. We cordially in
vite all men to be present who are in
sympathy with the objects of our club.
The dime museum, given by the
young ladies of the Congregational
church, in the spacious psrlors of DIR.
A. H. BARRIERS residence, was as great
a success financially as it was q great
attraction. Every freak and curiosity
advertised on the large posters and in
the papers was there in all its magnifi-
cence or profoundness. The features
of the museum, the skeleton, the fat
woman and the Egyptian band were
truly wonders of the first degree. They
claimed the greater part of the attention
of the large number that attended.
Especially was this true of the Egyptian
band, which completely captured its
legion of hearers with excellently rem
dered oriental music. We understand
that the idea of a museum came home
from school with one or more of our
bright young ladies, and that all the
preliminary work etc. was done by
them, and they are certainly to be COM
plimented on the success of the under
taking.
1t was an enjoyable affair and more
than met the most sanguine expecta-
tons of the large number in attendance.
The above applies to the band concert
and the excellent supper given by the
ladies of the city as a benefit to the
band, Monday evening, at the opera
house. The supper consisted of all
that could possibly be considered palat-
able, garnished with a desert that
would have done credit TO the presi-
dents table At 8 o'clock the band
gave highly appreciated concert in
the hall proper. The entire pro.
gramme was exceedingly well rendered.
The rendition of the schottisch--vocal--
''Darkies all Good Bye" was voci-
ferously received, and descriptive
Comic Fantasia" was also very pleas
ing and well rendered About nine
o'clock dancing began for which the
Lancaster orchestra furnished very
pleasing music. 1t was in all grand
success, due mainly to the efforts of the
ladies'
w. II. Rose, of Fennimore, the well
known poultry breeder, took three first,
two second, three third and one-fourth
premium at the poultry show of the
Southern Wisconsin Poultry Associa-
tior held in Richland Center, Dec 9th
and 30th. There were over 1000 birds
on exhibition from all the leading
breeders in the northwest. Mr.. Rose
makes specially of bowed Plymouth
Rock and single-comb brown leghorns.
The birds exhibited by him scored from
80 to 954 points out of q possible 100.
His Plymouth Rocks were pronounced
by judges to be equal in all respects to
any pens in the country and his leg
horns were superior to any others in
the state. B. N. Pierce, of Indianapo-
lis, editor of the Poultry Journal and
leading authority on all matters per-
tanning to the breeding and raising of
fowls was Judge at this poultry show,
and he gave Mr.. Roses fowls an excep-
tional record. Good for MIR. Rose and
Grant County.
Monday at high noon the new county
officers formally entered upon their
duties. They were all there to man,
and took the oath of office with the Dig
nifty becoming true American citizens
who have been elected by the people to
serve the people. John Eplett. the
genial County Clerk, set up the cigars
by the box full, thereby demonstrating
his wealth of liberality. He has entered
into the duties of his office with spirit
of determination which indicates that in
