BosCobeI Won The Race.

Boscobel has at last procured deed
to the mill race hat runs through the
principal street IN the city. The part
les who owned the franchise wanted
81. 600 for it; but the city kept fool
ing around and bedeviHng the owners
dntll they gave it up for nothing. 1t
has not yet been definitely stated
what the city will do with it; but it
is strongly limited that the creek will
be turned back into its natural chan
@el near the brewery and that beer
will be turned into the race and run
down through the city Fountains
could be placed at intervals along the
way and the bridge fund could be
drawn en- to defray expenses.
Whenever man has planned an
Eden since the fall. some rexatious
question would arise, and in this case
a query may be made as to where the
money is to come from to pay for the
bologna and smear-case cheese that
goes along with that kind OF a spark
ling flow. This difficulty can be over
come by increasing somewhat the
number of arrests of Crawford county
people who come across the toll bridge
and utilizing their fines.
Indeed the late arrest OF Tom Beam
the same Tom who worked on the
waterworks here in Lancaster-who
lately became a resident of the city of
Boscobel, would all uneonsciously
seem to foreshadow coming events.
Tom has a neighbour named Mrs.
Haugen and she has chickens that are
the same way-all the time haugen
round on Toms premises and roos-
tim on Toms horses back In a fit
of anger last week Tom caught a few
of the chickens and wruug their
necks. Tom was brought before Jake
Mclaughlin who fined him one dollar
and costs. The costs amounted to
$l2.27 Besides this Tom laid in jail
over night Tom sold his horse to
VIM Nelson for SIC and paid up the
whole thing. OF course the fine could
be increased ON men who own more
thar a horse Some of those Craw-
ford county fellows own farms that
could easily be turned in toward max

TROUBLE AT 6ALHMINE.
Tarse Men on foot Beat Woman INNER
oitulIu and are Under Hrrest.

It is reported that the little village
OF Calamine was visited last Saturday
-niobt with one of those exciting times
that were quite common in these
mining districts in early days Three
toughs from that vicinity after drink
inc and carousing about this city last
SATURDAY, lett for Calamine towards
evening with the intention. 50 us
said. of painting the town red, and
from reports they carried out their
evil designs to finish.
Upon arriving a. their destination
they entered the saloon of L. Flem-
ing, and Immediately began picking
quarrel with the proprietor. The
three went al their victim and COM
menced pounding him, and when Mr..
Fleming got his release one OF the
party went at him with knife, and
made several gashes in different parts
OF his body. Mrs. Fleming on hear
ing the noise from her rooms over
the saloon, went down accompanied
bv two of her sisters, hoping to be
peace-maker. When they entered
the saloon the ruffans attacked them,
severely kicking Mrs. Fleming in the
stomach. cutting her with a knife,
and then not being satisfied they
deliberately threw her out OF the win
dow. In the meantime Mr.. Fleming
had run to the depot and telegraphed
to Darlington for the sheriff. Upon
his return to the saloon the brutes
went at him again. The officers
from Darlington arrived on the even
ing passenger. and finding the mis-
.creants still carving on their MUIR
.derous assaults. took them to Oar
lington and placed them in jail.
Mrs. Fleming's condition was found
to be quite serious, and telegram
was sent to this city for doctor. DR..
Eastman answered the call, and found
the lady in critical condition, with
chances against her recovery. 1t will
no doubt go hard with the VILLAINS,
and more so should the injuries of
Mrs. Fleming prove fatal.-Mineral-
point Tribune.

Fl Franchise Refused.

1t may be considered as pretty well
settled that the city of Lancaster will
not grant franchise to any corpora
tion or individual for an electric light
plant. at least while the present
council is in office. By a vote of
three to one, the mayor not voting,
the petition of NJ. Edwards for a
franchise was denied This was not
because Of objection to Mr.. Edwards
at all but because the council believe
the city should build and operate a
plant of its own. Alderman Miller is
in favor of buying a suitable lot and
beginning at once but it is not at all
likely that anything win be done
before spring.
A good lighting system will prob
ably cost about $4,000. 1t will be
worth all Of that to the city and when
once built and paid for would be a
source of revenue. But people will
have TO be little patient. Not every
thing can be done at once. Great
progress has been made in public inn
provements in the last two years and
by good management electric lights
NAV be added in two or three years
more

young. June l. 1862, she was mar
ried TO Daniel Weaver and together
with her husband aud children came
to Kansas in 1874 and located on their
large farm southwest Of town where
they have since lived, She was i'll
but three or four days and up to last
Saturday morning was not considered
in any way dangerous. That morn
ing she was SO bad that they tele-
gfaphed T. their daughter and her
husband who lived at Hutchinson and
they came on the first train. but TOO
late to be known and recognized by
their mother and at o'clock that
evening TIE spirit Of one who was
loved and respected BY all who knew
her winged its flight to "that unds-
covered country, that boun from
whence no traveller returns.
The funeral was held at the family
residence Monday afternoon and the
largest concourse we have seen for
many years followed the remains to
their last resting place in the Herring

main until the last great day, when
husband and wife. mother and child

Mr.. and Mrs Weaver have lived
together as husband and wife forty
five years the first day Of last June
and have brought up family Of three
boys and one girl, have lived to see
all but one married and settled about
them, and they with children who
thought more Of going to see grand
pa and grandma than anywhere else
in the world. And no one was ever
more pleased to wait upon them and
to make their lives joyous than she
whose tolls Of life are now ended but
whose kind offices will remain in the
hearts Of her family and friends so
long as they shall live. Not only was
she kind to her children and grand
children but every body alike found

one who could not do too much for
the comfort and convenience Of those
around her. She was true christ
ian and was rich in the faith and a
firm believer ID the life that Is to
