GOOD" Time Rt BoSoobel.

There was a lively time in Jake
McLaughlin's court in Boscobel last
Friday A fellow was arrested for
cutting a man's buggy-top or some
thing of the kind and brought before
Mclaughlin. The district attorney
was away and had another attorney
appear for him. The defendant was
also represented by counsel. Dur
ing the progress of the trial hot
words passed between the lawyers.
Words were followed by blows and
these by falling lawyers and a black
eye. All this almost within arm 5
length Of the majesty of the law!
Neither attorney was fined for con-
tempt nor was the cause of the
trouble-the fellow charged with san
offense-held.
The marshal of the city was un-
willing to let the matter drop and
had the lawyers arrested One
pleaded guilty and paid a fine, the
other fought the case, was defended
by Attorney Howe and acquitted.

Impure MIX Gases Dismissed.

The Herald mentioned a week or
two ago that several farmers in the
vicinity of Whicher's cheese factory,
in Lima, had been arrested for selling
impure milk. When the case was
called before Lancaster justice no
one appeared to prosecute and the
case was dropped.
1t seems there was nothing in the
case from the first. Some one wrote
to the food and dairy commissioner
presumably with the intention of
having Whicher's factory inspected.
A man was sent from Madison who
came down and tested the farmers
milk. He claims that in some cases
the milk was mot quite up to the
required test and hence the trouble.
Whether the expert made a mistake
or the poor quality of milk was the
result of hot weather and flies is not
known but there seems no proof that
the farmers are to be blamed in any
wav

CartheW- Mckenzie.

One of the most notable weddings
that has occurred in the city for some
time was the marriage last week Of
Mr.. Raymond Carthew and Miss Fam
ME Mckenzie. The marriage was
solemnized by the Rev. T. j. Brown.
Oct. IA. 1897. at the home OF the

About 100 invited guests and relatives
witnessed the ceremony.
The list of wedding presents is
long one. and the presents are useful
and valuable, one an exceptionally
beautiful dinner set from Mr.. Frank
Mckenzie of Chicago meriting special
mention.
Among the guests from abroad were
Mrs. Eliz. Andrews of Ollie, Iowa, and
John RAFFERTY, of Mt. Hope. Miss Kit

tain in the city.
MIR and Mrs. Carthew are young
people who have been born and reared
in this COUNT; most of their days
have been spent in Lancaster. They
have large circle Of acquaintance
and in that circle are found only
friends. Few couples start out in life
with brighter hopes or more general
good wishes.
The groom is the son Of Hon. John
Carthew OF Lancaster and is univers-
ally known as a young man Of good
character, industrious habits and
strict honesty
Mrs Carthew is the youngest daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Mckenzie, widow Of the

Der 10, 1897. the bridal party entered
the cheerful parlor Of the Bailey resi-
dence and took their places in a coy
corner testooned and tlower-decked
for the occasion. The back ground
was bank of solid green with many
dainty vines rising from it. Bloom

to show their interest in and respect
for the bride whom they had known
and loved from her childhood, and
the groom whom they had learned to
admire for his many noble qualities
during his two and one-half years

WHITING FOR THE VERDICT.

The Luetgert murder case occupies
large place in the public mind and a
large space in the daily papers No
Chicago trial since that OF the murder
ers of DR.. Cronin has attracted so much
attention. BUTT is ;about over The
attorneys finished their addresses, and
the Judge gave his charge last Monday
and at about 5 o'clock p. IN. the jury
retired to determine whether Adolph
L. Luetgert shall 60 free or be hanged.
At this writing no verdict has been
reached All sorts of rumors are afloat
concerning the action of the Jurors but
all are without foundation. The long
time they have been out would seem
pretty clearly to indicate disagree
ment. The case has lasted nine weeks
and the public will draw long breath
Of relief when the case is ended no
matter how it goes.

NEAL DOW MEMORIAL.
Union Services OF Baptists, CONGREGATIONAL

Der IL, 1897.

The NJ. f. church of this city was
crowded last Sunday evening to listen
to memorial services in honor OF Neal
Dow conducted by Rev. Mayhem.
Rev. Brown and Rev. Sinclair.
The fervency of the speakers as tley
recounted the noble deeds OF the
great reformer and the sympath etc
attention Of their listeners proved
that interest in the cause to which
Neal Dow devoted his life is still alive
although there seems to be but little
outward manifestation Of it-but lit
tie pronounced temperance work be-
ing done now.
Rev. Mayhem read scripture les
son and offered prayer. Rev. T. J.
Brown spoke of Dow as Christian
man. Rev. Sinclairs theme was
Neal Dow in Politics.
Both speakers spoke feelingly and
well of the pure life, high purpose,
loyal devotion to his ideas Of right,
courageous labors and grand results
exemplified in the career OF Neal
Dow.
Neal Dow was not Christian in the
sense that he belonged to any ecclesi-
astical body, but he was God-fearing
man, upright in his walk before men,
and devoted to lettering OF the NOR
al and social conditions of men. He
was not politician in the sense OF
being spokesman or ofice-seeker. but
he was in politics to secure by law
the protection Of society from thu
evils of the liquor traffic
Music for the memorial services
was rendered by the NJ. +, choir com
posed Of dozen or more voices.
Their selections were well made and

saved.
Mrs. Edwards has large circle of
friends in Lancaster, where she is
highly esteemed and much beloved,
who sincerely deplore the terrible ac-
cident and hope that the results may
not be so bad as they now seem.
