ing Mrs. Leona Huxtable at Platteville:
when person reads the latest
escapade OF Prince johnson. colored,
he viii debate with himself whether
leniency should be shown this partic-
ular criminal. Most probably he will
conclude that an exercise of mercy in
the case Of Johnson was an act not
conducive to the public welfare
Some time ago, it will be remem-
bered, colored man named Prince
johnson, employed as porter at the
Hotel Julien bath rooms. effected an
entrance into a domestics room at
the Julien and purloined many artic-
les. He was caught in the act and
jailed During the trial much SYM
patty for Johnson was expressed. He
was adjudged guilty and the Judge
gave him the shortest punishment
for the crime. When he sentenced
him to Anamosa the Judge who was
affected by the case Of the young ne
gro, lectured him and gave many
good words Of advice and comfort
The press, too, excited sympathy for
the fellow. johnson served his term
and then returned to his home in Ga
lena where he remained for some
time. A rowing disposition led him
about, and again he has done some
thing very wrong"

fl Lesson On HdvertlSin0.

II your business is meant to appeal
to people OF refinement and culture
its advertising should he of quiet.
refined tone This does not mean
that it must necessarily be dull but
if you are advertising laces and deli
cate dress fabrics your printer should
not set the ad in as bold a type as
though you We're advertising at auc-
ton herd Of steers.
A knowledge Of this important fact
is what has made the Herald popu-
lar paper 70 advertise in The Herald
goes every week into the homes of
the most noble and refined people in
Grant County; its printers, appreci-
ating this fact, govern themselves
accordingly when you leave with
them an order to advertise your bust
ness
Look over the ads in this paper.
Each al is 2 picture that conveys to
the readers mind correct idea Of
the business it adyertises. Take, for
instance. the ad of C H. Basford q
Co.; what combination of letters and
ornaments could more correctly pic
ture their well-ordered store with its
dainty line OF goods? A person who
could not read at all in looking at the
al Of Ivey & Webb could readily
feel that they have no anvils for
sale. Exclusive clothing will perhaps
call for little more substantial print
such as you always find expressed in
the Herald's ads Of Joeckel Bros.
You have noticed that a market. with
its never-ending variety Of Goods
offered. is peculiar thing to adver-
tise. 1t taNes to the utmost the abil-
ity OF the al writer and the al setter
to place before the public pleasing
intimatiou OF its offerings but we
believe our readers will bear us out in
the statement that during the past
two years the Herald has produced
the most attractive ads in that line
for j. Nathan Il Sons that have APP
peared in any newspaper in southern
Wisena sin So it is with the drug
ads Of Joseph Bennett and Seyfarth
& Co. and all the way through in the
ads Of John Jeide, the best tailor;
Mary Wilhelm and Barbara Schloes-
ser, the leading milliners of Grant
County; John Baldwin. who carries
the best stock Of iewelry to be found
in any city Of this size in the state.
Herald advertisers as well as Herald
readers get the best there is going.

BOY KILLED BY LIGHTNING
A Barn With All Its Contents Burned In Wat
erlOO Township.

Matt Udelhofen, Jr., lad Il years
of age who resided with his parents
about Is miles southwest OF Lancas-
ter. in the town of Waterloo. near
Dripping rocks on Grant river, was
struck by lightning and instantly
killed last Friday, July 9, at little
after Il o'clock in the forenoon. Matt
and younger brother were cutting
rye on their fathers farm when a
thunder shower came up and they
drove the team to a large new log
barn that stood about quarter of a
mile from the house. Tie boys sat
down on feed box near the barn
door and were about three feet apart
when a bolt of lightning struck Matt
and Knocked the smaller brother onto
the floor where he lay for a short
space in an iasensibe condition.
When he arose he found that Matt
was dead and the barn was in flames.
He started for the house and met his
father coming to the barn. Going
back they found Mats body and car
ried it to the house When they re-
turned to the barn it was so far con-
sumed by the flames that little could
be saved excepting the horses. They
were brought out unframed. A
quantity of hay. a buggy, road-cart,
harness. farm ma .lnerv. tools and
such articles as are usually kept about
a barn were destroyed.
An examination Of the boy showed
that the lightning had passed down
one side OF his body burning aud
breaking open the flesh in places.
His clothing was cut into ribbons.
Miss Kate Udelhofen, sister OF
the unfortunate boy. has worked at
the Lancaster House for two years.
She was notified by telephone from
Cassville and Mr.. Alfred DiVall took
her to her fathers house with a team.
The funeral was held Sunday from
the Catholic church in Cassville.
