many great ch9,storical 30 Zen

have taken place in the social. moral
and political world. Advancement is
visible on every side, and well is it
BETTING that on the very eve Of the
century should come some great dis
coverY with which to crown and close
this progressive era. 1t was expect
ed and it came. The scientific world
stood in silence and amazement when
upon Saturday last, from this COM
munity came the news that discov-
cry had been made by which man
could grow a moustache and beard in
the short time of l hour and ) min
utes, or in other words the difference

Montfort and arriving at Lancaster.

A trip to Philippsburg, Montana,
and back again, distance of three
thousand miles, without meeting a
friend or without cent in his pocket
such is the checkered experience of
little Johnnie England recently
brought before County Judge Good
sell to be sentenced to the Industrial
school at Waukesha. Johnnie is
small boy thirteen years old whose
home has always been with his grand
parents at Patch Grove. He is far
more to be pitied than censured hav-
ing had the greatest misfortune a
young child can sustain, viz, to be
brought up without the the tender
care of a mother from whom he was
separated when yet an infant. And
it was his ultimate desire to again
see her that enervated him last sum
mer to leave his country home and
depart for Montana. But for him il
was a fruitless trip. After being
there for two months he returned
home sadly disappointed having
been unable to find her But his trip
was not only fruitless but it was far
reaching in its effects. 1t left in his
young heart desire for travel and it
was while on his road to Texas that
he was overtaken by IN officer at Glen
Haven last Wednesday night and
brought back to Lancaster with the
above result. He was taken to Wan
kesha last Friday by ASST Sheriff
Chas + Fawcett.
JOS Nathan returned Friday from
Chicago where he took in the sights
at the stock show, and as result is
more enthusiastic than ever over his
pet hobby-fine cattle Those of our
readers VINO have never attended this
annual display Of stock have but
vague idea Of the sights there to be

finest specimens of horses, cattle. hogs
and sheep in the country and the
spirit Of rivalry existing between en-
thusasts Of the various breeds is ac-
countahle for the sharp competition
TO AS great an extent as the prizes
that are hung up for the winners. In
the beef line a black Polled Angus
won first prize. The animal was
two. year-old steer aud was sold at
auction after the prize had been
awarded Mt the fabulous price OF III 80
per pound realizing $2,ll5 to the
owner Think of it! a herd of the
same breed. fifteen in number, all
two year-olds brought - cents
pound straight through. Shorthorns
and Herefords were there ia abund-
ance and received many awards.
Hogs tipping the scales al ten and
eleven hundred each were there and
Canadian breeder was in charge of
some sheep Weighing 30 pounds
apiece average. When it is taken
into consideration that good, fat
wether commonly weighs in the
ceighborhood OF POO pounds in good
condition, the sight of these Canadian
muttons must have attracted more
than passing attention. Mr.. Nathan
is an admirer Of HerefoTds and stated
the other day that were he to enter
into cattle raising on large scale in
the west today the Hereford would be
his choice. His reasons expressed
were that the Hereford COW being a
light mixer, the calf is early forced
to Craze and is from the first good
feeder.
