4 Boscobel Banquet: On Wednes-
day evening last Boscobel Fire coE-
pany No. l had big banquet at the
Central House. ; bout fifty fellows
filled up at the feed, including two
hungry editors so they say. But the
Herald man couldn't swear to it. He
isn't an editor you know.
A Boscobel Blaze: Tuesday ever
ing the house owned by Leo Anschutz
and occupied by Breweryman Dobler
was found to be on fire. Cause.-The
common one, a defective chimney.
The damage to the house IS estimat-
ed at about $500 and the loss in house
hold goods at about $500. But house
and contents were both insured
Moral: Look after your chimneys
and insure Your property. Almost
all Of the best business men of the
country take out insurar ce policies on
both life and property. To fail to do
so IS not a good sign Of business acu-
men. y. B.: We are not an insur-
ance agent.
A Boscobel BUSINESS 1t has been
our business to tell of the Troutman
house traffic. That well kept and or
DERBY hosiery has enjoyed splendid
patronage from the people under the
able control Of Mr.. and Mrs Dan Os-
valid. But the management is now
about to change. Mr.. Oswald having
on Thursday last sold the hotel to
George H Miller of Platteville for
$1,000. The new proprietor takes
charge about Feb. 1st. Mr.. Miller is
an experienced hotel hand and has a
helpmate in his working wife They
will doubtless maintain the excellent
reputation Of the house Mr.. Os
valid has not yet decided upon his
future course. Well. ..Wecome the
coming, speed the parting guest"
On Friday last Austin Ward had

sure that the bone was we'll set.
4 Case Of Curiosities: There is a
case setting in the Furderer restau-
rant which is of more than ordinary
interest. 1t contains neither bread
nor pies, soaps nor silks but to the
student of the curious and the rare,
the twelve or fourteen hundred arti-
Giles therein sheltered are objects of
even greater interest. We have ref
erenoe to the collection of curiosities
owned by Miss Lizzie Furderer and
valued at not less than $1,000 1t was
our pleasure to spend few moments
in cursory contemplation OF those
rare relics. Here was a screw from
the battleshIp Maine, and piece OF
worm eater timber from the vessel
which carried Napoleon to Eliza.
There was the tooth of a shark and a
section of whales vertebrae. Yon-
der were swords and pistols from the
battle cf the Big Horn where Custer
/ lost his life; over there were Indian
war clubs and Indian pipes of peace
resting side by side. Here were shoes
worn by the peasant children of Wales
Wonder the medicine charm worn by
the savage tribes of the wild west.
There were coins century old of no
small value and confederate scrip OF
little worth save as reminders Of de-
parted glory. There was the skin Of
a Irf,.;do Ia cox,ap foat lOpor
and beside it the cuticle of Wiscon-
sin RATHER less than three feet long.
There was gold from the Klondikc,
salt from the vicinity of Sodom and
specimens of soil from almost every
state in the union. To those who
would make of themselves something
more than chimneys 70 emit smoke,
or sausages to be stuffed we commend
an examination OF these rare relies.
We congratulate Miss Lizzie on the
sound sense shown in her books and
bric-a- brac and thank her for chance
to revel among rare relics.
