Granted a Divorces.

of $3.50. 1t is the alimony that will

himself to be Joseph Junior-and he
hied himself to the town of Mazomanie
where he married blushing bride of
doubtful age. A few weeks after the
marriage the HERALD reporter met
him on the st. Paul railroad track
walking home to Muscoda With a
lengthy stride, his long pipe steamed
up, under his arm wrapped in a news
paper dirty shirt one sleeve of which
had gotten free of the paper and was
dragging on the ground, formed pict-
ure that riled the reporters curiosity
and caused him to ask: .Ho. there.

Without deignlng to stop or even turn
his head he snorted out between pulls
Fool fooll-dam fool.' He is ex-
cusable for the profanity used, as this
is all the English he can speak. and the
reporter is still in doubt as to whom
he alluded.

Men Wore Clothes
The social event of the season has
come and gone. The leap year party
for 1896, about which there has been
50 much planning and for which so
many hearts have yearned with an
anxious expectancy, has passed into
history. but its memories win remain.
Who that saw it can forget the woe
begone expressions of tired patience
derieted on the countenances of the
male ''wall flowers as they tried to
assume looks OF cheerfulness and gay
ETY. and attract attention. but with
out success? And how the faces of
the ladies beamed with a much de-
sired but long-deferred satisfaction in
the exercise Of extraordinary privileg-
es and with importance.
About two hundred people took
part; numerous visitors were present
from neighboring towns and cities.
Dancing began about nine o'clock
and continued until five but so iov-
ously had the moments flown that
few realized that the hour was much
past midnight.
The regular evening program was
somewhat interfered with by the in
ability of the orchestra to be on time.
The musicians were due on the six
O'Clock train but owing to an accident
the train was about five hours late
aud home talent had to be depended
on to occupy the time until the pro-
fessionals arrived.
With such accommodating, talented
and resourceful gentlemen as Messrs
Joe Barnett, w. j. Miller, Joe Nathan,
ST., and Thode Burr on hand, so small
a matter as late train cannot SER
iously check the festivities of party
in Lancaster.
The music furnished by the Bara-
boo orchestra, when it did arrive was
good and their caller showed himself
to be talented in his line but he sadly
misiudged the character and temper
of Lancaster ladies and gentlemen in.

duly exhilirated by drinking Criswold
spring water.
The Grand march was led BY Mr..
and Mrs. Basford and Mr. and Mrs
H. G. Nathan who ably conducted
the long line of marchers through
number of pleasing and intricate eyo-
lutions.
Refreshments were served in Che
hall BY the ladies and were highly APP
preciated and enjoyed especially by
the hungry Baraboobans who had had
nothing to eat for twelve hours
We suppose the costumes OF the
gentlemen ought to be described but
as most of them wore just clothes ard
bontonnieres and such things we give
it up.
The gentlemen highly appreciate
the courtesies shown them and have
learned some things about conducting
Terpsichorean functions from which
they will profit.

Deputy Sheriff McGonieal Explains

Deputy Jim McGonigal has turned
up all right and he explains that Bill
put up job on me by giving you the
news that was arrested at Ossian.
Iowa, as a suspicious character. II
he had kept still | wouldn't have said
anything about it, but the fact of the
matter is that it was Sheriff Dyer who
was arrested and not T. This is a
fact and Bill don't dare deny it. 4
Now our readers would be pleased
to hear from Hooks on the subject as
he holds the balance Of power at this
particular point Of proving records.
It is rather amusing TO think that
Bill and Jim were red hot after Hooks
scalp few days ago and that now
they are in dread Of his coming back
here. Better come together, boys,
and make clean breast OF the whole
affair before Hooks puts in an appear
