CITY ELECTION QUIET.
Light Vote Cast in Every Ward and an
Absence of Enthusiasm LIS Marked

City election in Lancaster Tuesday
was a very tame affair. A number of
citizens in the city did not know that
there was such a thing in progress
and the result was an exceedingly
light vote was cast. But one contest
came off at all and that was in the
first ward between j. S. Wright and
c.. w. Ray for aldermanic honors,
and the latter won out by a big ma
jority. The inspectors at the other
three polling places became tired of
doing nothing most Of the time and
there wasn't sufficient excitement over
the affair to bring out the band. The
small amount of scratching INDUCED
in was simply in a mood of ridicule
and of no consequence.
The vote in detail by wards is given
herewith:
VOTE BY WARDS.
First ward Total 90. S. E. Hassell

Views and Interviews.

Mrs. T. F. Orion: / have solved
the problem of your ash pan empty
ing question which the Herald printed
last week. You remember you wished
to be informed as to how it could be
done without the ashes blowing on
you. Well. the plan is to let your
wife do it.
DR.. Van Dusen, Montfort: Our
smallpox cases are all convalescent,
and but three families are O in
quarantine. There was one very no
ticeable thing about the disease and
that was that where vaccination had
been successful smallpox would not
take hold. Why, | had a family in
which one of the household came
down with it and / ~vaccinated the
rest, and but the one case appeared
although all had been exposed. In
another family a case broke out and
the parents refused to allow the chill
dren to be vaccinated and would not
submit to the operation for them
selves and every last one of them had
the disease good and plenty. | am a
firm believer in vaccination and favor
a law for compulsory vaccination,
such as they have IN some states; then
there would be less small pox.
Father Potter: Easter rarely comes
as early as it did this year; in fact
very seldom does it come in March.
Next year it will be due about the
22nd of April or whereabouts, and |
trust we will have weather more fav-
ora5le for the occasion. The earliest
that it can appear on the calendar is
about the oath or 25th of March, and
the latest is about these dates in
April.

A Coed Story.

Rev. Bainton, the Pastor at
Large of the Presbyterian church
for Wyoming. is n good story tel
Ter and often points his argument
with IA clincher in That line. The
night of the basket social in Jen-
sen hall he was called on to make
a little talk and he related the fol-
lowing story; In II certain ives
tern town n man was found dead
and taken to the morgue where
the body was recognized by two
young men as that of their father.
They were anxious that it should
have n decent funeral and left or
ders with the undertaken to spare
no expense in laying the body of
their father away in good style.
The undertaken had neglected to
tie the under jaw up and when
the SONS come to take n last lock
ut the remains they discovered
that ii had dropped down. reveal
ing that the corpse had false teeth.
They at once declared that their
father had not been given 10 false
teeth and repudiated their share
of the funeral and refused to 90
on with the ceremony. The I'M
dertaker took the corpse back to
the morgue, slammed it up on the
slab with the remark:
You old fool; you might have
had n first class funeral if you
had only kept your mouth shut"

The Haines Bros. Ranch Sold.

The Haines Bros. ranch, which
adjoins the town site of Saratoga
on the west, has been sold to j. s.
Stanley, of this place. recently
from Garrison, Iowa. The price
paid was 81 900, The ranch is
under n large ditch which heads
in North fork of Spring creek and
contains four sections, including a
school section which is under
lease. The deal includes all hors-
es. Wagons, farming machinery,
tools. etc. Only one team of
horses and n wagon was reserved,
Mr., Stanley takes possession ON
the LIST of May. He is tEc same
party who purchased the Walter
ranch on Cow creek recently from
the Kuykendalls.
The ranch is a very valuable
one with a good water right and,
as il lies adjoining the town site
on the west, will doubtless be in.
cluded in the town proper be
fore many years.
Milford Haines. the senior
partner Of Haines Bros. is now
in Santa Cruz, Calf, and it is
likely that II. W. Haines. the jun
Tor member of the firm. will also
go to that place to live. milford
Hoines is interested in land nd

probable that he will make Sara

Origin of the Hotel Fire.

II was in the ladies loungimg
room Just before the fire broke
out, waiting for II bath, and there
was no lire in the stove to speak
of. for it was cold. | was given
