|. Philipson & Co.. Tuesday. Martin
has had considerable experience in the
clothing business. and, although having
been out of mercantile business for
several years, during which time he
was twice elected to the Office of Regis
ter of Deeds, we predict that be will. in
q short time, sell so many goods for the
reliable firm, with which he is connect
ed, as to necessitate their branching out
in several ways, particularly in adver-
Using.
There have been but three familits in
Lancaster. afflicted with the scarlet
fever, two OF them having one case
each and the other one four cases. The
City council and the Health Officers
acted promptly in the matter and the
the result is that the disease is most eff
fectually quarantined and its spread. so
far. entirely prevented. The council
will revoke the ordinance passed BY
them last Thursday evening. on next
Monday morning. The schools will
then open as usual, and people will be
at liberty t. congregate as they have
been in the habit of doing heretofore.
Prof. Joseph Cubela, who was obliged
by sickness, to take a rest from his
school work at Montfort was in the CITY
Tuesday. We were surprised and
pleased to see him looking so well, tor
he was reported to us as seriously i'll.
We have known Mr.. Cubela ever since
he was lad attending the Heberlin or
Gray school on the WatteIstown ridge,
and if ever there was Young man
worthy of praise tor success in teach
ing, and his efforts to educate himself,
he is certainly one. He has made him
self too valuable in many WAYS to be
spared from his work for many wears
yet.
Boscobel Dial: There SCENE to be
one man in Grant county who does not
want Geo. B. Carter for county Judge.
That is the editor of the Platteville
News. And it may be that there is an
other mantle one he intends to run
on the Democratic ticket for that office.
Well, neverless Grant county seems 70

the good work might as well go on
while the one or two heather rvge. Mr..
Carter is one of the best Judges in the
State. All his official acts have been
strictly non-partisan and will continue
to be so when he is sgain placed in that
position of trust.

Mrs. Coam Cherrier aged 81 died of
liver complaint in Prairie du Chen last
Saturday. When she was ten months
old there was a massacre over against
the bluff back of old Fort Crawford and
at that time Mrs. Cherrier was stabbed
and scalped by the Winnebago Indians
the mother escaping to the fort. When
the Indians were driven away the babe
was found under the bed and taken to
the fort for treatment but the fort sur
geon said that it could not live. 1t
happened that a slave of the COM
mandant had shown a great deal of
skill in treating wounds of all kinds and
had frequently cured persons who had
been given up by the doctors. The
statement is made that this doctress
took a silver half dollar and beating it
very thin placed it over the skull of the
infant. The flesh soon grew over it
and no serious effects from the scalping
were ever noticed. Mrs. Cherrier was
French Indian birth and the mother of
thirteen children. She was likely the
oldest settler ia Crawford Co. since she
has been in Prairie du Chen since 1927
and is probable the only person on re-
cord who has served the ordeal of
Indian scalping.
