The social at the NJ. f. church

ant occasion. About fifty persons

features of the evening was the beau
tiful but tragic tableau Of The Blind
Feeding the Blind The pathetic
scene brought tears TO the eyes Of
more than one convulsed beholder.

-Muscoda Waterman: Last Mon
day was gala day for Muscoda, more
business transactions were carried on
during the day than ever before in one
day. Muscoda has got to be one of
the best business places in the county
and promises soon to take the lead
For number of years it seemed that
this little village had seen its
best days and was slowly going down,
but since the fire of 1894, Muscoda
has come right to the front, it can
boast of as fine buildings as any place
in the state, and as to business facili-
ties it tells for itself. At the board of
trade meeting last Monday, over 5S,-
600 pounds Of cheese were sold at 8!
cts. per pound, and the stock trains in
the evening, carried out about $4,000
worth of stock consisting of ten car
loads. During the day the farmers
received about $4,000 for their pro-
duce.
We are glad to know that the
notice,of the death of Mrs. DR.. Frede-
ricks published last week was mis-
take and that that worthy lady is in
her usual good health. We regret ex-
eeedingly that the mistake occurred.
The information was given us with
other news by physician well known
in this county and who il the many
years we have known him never de-
ceived us before, though he has tried
to several times. We never knew of
a physician circulating false report
about another or his family before
and so had no thought that this was
untrue. We tender an apology to DR..
and Mrs. Fredericks and when q GER
tain magnetic doctor from Cassville,
who besides the practice of medicine
dabbles in electricity, runs a steam
boat and at times yields facile pen
as well, comes to Lancaster there will
be an explanation, an apology or
"pistols and coffee for two"
In order to fully understand the
action of the county board concerning
the report of the register of deeds OF
births and deaths the main features
of the law in the case needs to be
known. The statutes of the state re-
quire physicians or others who are in
attendance at births and deaths to re-
port the same to the register of deeds
within thirty days and fixes penalty
of from $50 to 800 on physicians for
neglect so to do. A fee of Is cents is
