" FOR THE PEOPLE,"

Ct EVERYBODY know that Ed. Pol
IN lock went off down the river on a
W foot" of some kind and while
shopping around pest-infected dives
caught the smallpox and brought it
back to Lancaster. The people also
know that while be had on deposit in
the banks thousands of dollars, he drew
from the city's pauper fund one hun
bred and thirty-iive dollars and fifty
cents to pay expenses of his three or
four weeks sickness. which seemed
somewhat high even to man up a tree.
But a thing ne people do not know
Ia thing that G. shows up the
only one Pollock ~ to perfection-is
that he also took money from the
pauper fund of Mississippi Valley lodge
|. Q. O. F.. of which he was at that
time member in good standing, to
pay expenses OF this same smallpox
sickness. He SAYS in the Teller that
this was a course for any rich man to
be proud of, which shows conclusively
that he has the true instincts of some
money sharks who gobble poor mems
earnings. THE PEOPLE will please
rise and sing that familiar stanza-
Ed had shovel and Pollock had a hoe. m

1t was then decided to have refresh
ments before the spelling school, and
the young people and old people were
the cause of a large quantity of re-
treatments disappearing.
Sides were then chosen by Carl
Orton and Sylvia Wheeler, Miss Finn
pronounced the words to about forty
spoilers but the ranks thinned very
rapidly until there were two left, Miss
Cranage and Miss Wheeler, and both
mispelled the word phenomenal
In a short time afterward the COM
pany dispersed carrying with them
many pleasant remembrances.

Masons Spread the Cement of BrotherIy
Love in POtOsi

The spirit Of fraternity waxed warm
among the Masonic brethren of Potosi
last Saturday evening, The occasion
was the comforting of the mysterious
rites and ceremonies of the third de-
gree upon Prof. P. A Kolb. The
goat was decked out in regal splendor
to receive the presumptuous candi-
date, and sumptuous banquet pre-
pared where he and other craftsmen
might rest and refresh themselves af-
ter their arduous work. Visitors from
neighboring lodges had been invited.
There were present DR. Hartford. w.
M. Larned, VIM. Dunstone. Reub.
French, Palmer Gilbert, A. c. TAYLOR,
and |. W. Brown of Cassville and Supt.
Nye and c. r. Showalter of Lancas-
ter. After the work within closed
doors was finished, the company re-
paired to the commodious dining
rooms of Warren lodge where am
pie justice was done to an elaborate
spread. This lodge is one of tie old
est in the stare, being number four
in the order of organization and has
enrolled and still contains some of the
best men in the country.

Grant County pays High for Revenge

Mrs. Mary Enright, having served
out her time of Imprisonment, was
liberated from the Lancaster Jail and
took her departure for her home in
Boscobel. Before going she said TO
the HERALD reporter: "Mr. and Mrs.
Dyer have treated me so kindly that |
dislike to 90 home. | never knew
what it was TO be treated white until
/ came here to jail 1t may be an
interesting item to taxpayers of Grant
county to know what it cost us to
punish Mrs. Enright for taking from
a small boy few cents worth of
mouth-organs as security for the pay
ment of 10 cents which the boy owed
her for chewing gum. Something
over $500 will be required to pay the
bill. Mind you, she was not charged
with stealing the harmonious Just

during the past twelve hours Isobars or solid
lines connect poin of equal air pressure; iso-
therms or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word ahfgh" means high barometrc pressure and
is usually ACCOMPANIED by fair weather; low
refers TO low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains
Lows usually first appear on the Washington
coast When the pressure Is high in the interior

north and south along the coast. rain Is probable
but when the aiox'' is incIosed with isobars of

able. With nhighp in the vicinity OF Idaho, and
the pressure falling to the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder

Farewell to freckles on faces, arms and

time ago, in the absence of water, of
which there was great dearth at the
time, she washed her face with some of
the juice of a watermelon. The result
was so soothing that she repeatedly
washed her face in this manner. and her
astonishment was great, q few days later,
on seeing that there was not freckle left
on her previously befreckled face.
