COUNTY BOARD NEXT WEEK
Many Matters of Importance to Come
Up for Consideration.

The annual session of the Board OF
Supervisors for Grant county opens
Monday evening with a caucus for
purpose of deciding upon candidate
for chairman Two available men
are mentioned for this important
place, r. Meyer. Jr., and Thos. Me-
Donald, both of Lancaster. Each has
strong following and if the matter
comes to a contest it may possibly be
that the plum will fall in the hat of an
outsider. This procedure has been
experimental with heretofore how
ever and works to serious disadvan-
tage. The chairman should be a resi-
of the county seat.
Among the other proceedings on
the program is the election of trusee
tee to succeed Herman Grimm on the
Asylum and County Homo board
whose term expires Jan. lst. Mr..
Grimm is gifted with valuable expert
ence in this capacity and if he will ac-
cept reelection will very likely be
chosen to succeed himself.
The court house question will again
come up for consideration at this
time. A glance over the present
building is all that is necessary to
convince the observer of the fact that
a new court house will soon be an alb
solute necessity and such being the
case delays are dangerous.
Then there's the matter Of choosing
a superinten dent Of assessment and
the task of equalizing the tax appor-
tionment. II is a pretty wise predic-
ton to state that it is very probable
the Board viii not complete its work
this year in the customary six-days'
session. for the extra duties to be ex-
ecuted will require careful study and
conservative action.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
City Fathers Meet Tuesday Evening to
Transact Usual Routine of Business.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Common Council was called to order
by Mayor Hassell at the council
chamber Tuesday evening. Four Of
the aldermen were absent, viz, Place,
Henkel. BROKER and Ressmeyer.
Clerk Michaehs called the roll and
read the minutes of last regular and
special meetings which were approved.
A. j. Wiedenbeck was present to
endeavor to procure new sidewalk
adjacent to his newly purchased
property in the second ward As the
council at a previous session decided
to construct no more new walks this
season, his request was out of the
question. Mr. Wiedenbeck was will
ing, however. to erect the walk at his
own expense, the cost to be deducted
from his taxes this winter as rebate.
The settlement OF the matter was left
to the com mittee on streets and side
walks.
Treasurer Woodhouse was not pres
ent, but sent in his report of the
finances of the month which was read
bv Clerk Michaels. 1t showed the
receipts of October to have been
$6S9.4 and the disbursements ST.
439 40; overdrawn $3.50 80. Septem-
Der overdrafts amounted to $1S7 .63,
thus making a shortage of 1887 56 in
the city Golfers Report accepted.
Street Commissioner Budworth
gave his report. The principal work
done during the month was the ma
cadamizing of the portion of the
Platteville road near the south school.
This has been completed at total
cost of 1879 80 for a distance of 572 it.
Report accepted.
Clerk Michaelis read list of debts
the city is owing and gave an estimate
of what the tax levy will be for city
purposes this coming year. As it is
necessary to arrive at a close figaro
as to the amount to be raised, it was
decided to leave the matter over to a
special session to be held Tuesday
evening next for this purpose. 1t is
estimated that IS, 900 will be required
to meet running expenses, pay inter
est on water bonds, etc.
CITY Atty. Watkins having resigned
his position, Mayor Hassell appointed
Atty. A. r. Bushnell to fill out tn,
unexpired term. This action was
ratified by the council.
1t was voted to borrow suflicient
funds to meet all Indebtedness nov
current.
After acting on grist of bills, al
of which were allowed, the covnci
adjourned.

REV. BROWN WILL REMAIN
His Resignation Is Emphatically and
Universally Rejected.

The announcement of Rev. L. j.
Browns resignation as pastor of the
first Congregational church OF this
city brought together, on Thursday
evening last, probably the largest
crowd that ever assem- bled in the Soc
ial room of that church at a business
meeting. AS Mr.. Brown arose there
was profound silence.
Throughout the reading of his
paper the minister was visibly az
fected. And the feeling that could
not be suppressed touched responsive
chords in every breast. The ties
forged during Mr. Browns five years
ministry were as tender TO his par
ishioners as to himself. Immediate
~ at the close of mis- reading a motion
was made that the church absolutely
refuse TO accept the resignation. A
ballot was taken and there were but
two dissenting votes, and it was af-
terward learned that those two were
cast through misunderstanding of
the question.
The vote Of the society unanimously
concurred with that Of the church.
Many of the burdens that have
vexed the pastors soul must have
rolled away at the bursts of pleasure
that followed the voting. Only the
sacredness of the place precluded
louder applause. MIR. Brown had re-
ceived call, wholly unsolicited, from
the Congregational church at Nc
Gregor, Iowa, at salary of $500.
After deep consideration he had
concluded that severance from the
Lancaster church would be better for
pastor and people and had practically
accepted the cal from McGregor.
The sentiment of Thursdays meeting
was stunning surprise. His native
eloquence failed him.
But after discussion Of salary be-
tween trustees and people, Mr.. Brown
agreed to remain in Lancaster for the
same amount he had heretofore re-
ceived providing the McGregor peo-
pie would release him.
The enthusiastic greetings at the
close OF the meeting brought swift
return Of the minister's ready wit
and happy manner that make him the
friend Of all the people. The salary
was subscribed before Saturday night.
and Mr.. Browns legion of friends
outside OF Lancaster will rejoice with
us that he is to remain in the state.

write-up was one of personal spite,
an effort TO be even with an enemy
over the shoulders of some other fell
low without being personally known
in the matter, and because his orders
were not executed he is bowling about
the entire Herald force. It's heirs and
assigns. Now my private opinion,
told in public and expressed by the
| light of full moon, is that such a
chap does not amount to as much as
an infant ''chigger, = isolated from all
/ human habitation and placed on the
cold bosom of frozen zone. One
great hindrance to journalism is the
fact that too many pink-eyed para

his lash on a newspaper or reporter
or an editor because something he
suggested is not in print, just put it
down that he is too small an augur
with which to bore for oil. He is
simply two-bits' worth of nothing

worth of support in his life. This
fits my swell-headed nincompoop

My good friend, Gus Posey, who

barrel and calling himself papa"
just to hear how it sounded. must be

did who said they feared he was going
mad. In the first place it was Posey's
rain barrel and he had right to in
sert his head into il. call himself

bors said never made whit of diff
ference to him. He is happy as be
