A letter received by us from a
farmer of Platteville which describes
"bit Of high life'' in that city on
the night Of Nov. 26, is too lengthy
for insertion in this issue. It seems
that man from the Cream city took
it into his head to have time and
he had it to the tune of about $3.50 in
fines for breaking plate glass fronts on
main street, and smashing things gen.
orally at the Park Hotel. He was
finally cooled of.
Mrs. John Westing, who has been
the guest Of her sister, Mrs c. w.
Knapp for the past six weeks,'i left

posed of his home in Mason City, so
they will move to Clear Lake, Iowa,
to remain for the rest of the winter.
Lancaster would not be sorry to have
them return and make their home
again in our midst.
One of the best entertainments
given in this city for long time was
the Frank Howard Musical Speciality
company at the City hall last evening.
The company is composed of a male
quartette each member of which is an
artist, and Mile. Zolena who complete
ly captivated the audience by her
beautiful dream pictures of art.
The best we can say is that
there was not poor number on the
program from first to last.
