A Model Cold Storage.

Adam Morrow, a prosperous farm
er living in the Garthwaite neigh
borhood about eight miles north
west of Lancaster, has a very
unique cold storage plant near his
house in the form OF tunnel 7x6
feet, which runs straight back into
a mound for 70 feet. At the end of
this tunnel in which one can walk
in an upright position, there is a
room 20x12x8, and the entire space
was cut through solid rock at the
cost Of 1865, being built number
of years ago by A. Morse as cold
storage room for cheese. Mr.. Nor
row informed the writer, who visit
ed the place, that butter could lie
open from May to October and keep
perfectly. And during the winter
months nothing freezes within it's
walls.
There is a very noticeable absence
of dampness usually found in such
places, and is due to the air shaft
which runs from the center of the
large room to the top of the mound,
into which it is built.
Many more Grant county farmers
who have the natural advantages
could have the same desirable style
of cold storage for summer, and
warm warehouse for winter, on a
less extensive plan but with the
same result.
Mr.. Morrow takes O. commendable
pride in showing his tunnel, and we
feel sure anyone will feel repaid for
visiting it when in his neighbor
hood.

THE @ TRAIN HELD UP.

DUBUQUE, AUG. 6.-The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy's limited,
north bound, due here at 1890 a. m.
was held up by two masked men
Tuesday night about 11:3O o'clock
five miles north of Savanna, ILL.,, at
station named Murcus, and it is
believed they got away with be-
tween $40, 900 and $25, 900.
The train exploded railroad tor
pedoes placed on the track and on
hearing the reports Engineer Mooney
brought the train to a standstill.
Immediately a man wearing a mask
climbed into the cab and with a re-
volver covering him forced the en-
gineer to run ahead. The robbers
confederate at the same time cut
ting the express car from the train.
After going a short distance, the
engineer was ordered to stop and
robbers with dynamite blew up the
express car.
When the train was stopped and
the trainmen realized what was tax
ing place, the brakeman FASTENED
back to Savanna and told Of the
holdup. The sheriff and marshal
quickly organized posse and left
for the scene of the crime. The
sheriffs and police officers of all
counties and towns along and on
both sides of the river were notified
of the robbery.
1t is reported that one of the rob-
bers was killed when the explosion
took place.

describing the varieties in full and
giving directions for culture and
use. There will also be a franked
postal card for each collection of the
novelties, SO that the recipient may.
if he desires, signify his willingness
to make a report to the department
on the seeds received.
The number of packages Of flower
seeds allotted to each senator, mem.
Der and delegate in congress has
been increased to 500, and arrange.
ments have been made whereby
members may exchange vegetable
seeds for flower seeds if they have
city constituents.
The seed distribution has become
so popular that at the last session OF
congress the appropriation was in
creased from $3.50, 900 to $270, 900,
and, even with this increase, some
of the members have not enough to
their credit to supply the demand OF
their constituents.
Last year the total number OF
packages for congressional distribu-
tions amounted to $4,000, 900, but
this year the number has been in
creased to 80, 300, 1884 packages.
Last years distribution weighed
about 700 tons, while this year the
weight will be nearly doubled.
Besides the distribution through
congressman, the department has
hundreds of thousands of packages
for it's own use and these will also
be distributed as usual.

DISTRIBUTION
OF SEED GIFTS
Congressman Will Have More
Than Ever.
BIG DEMAND FOR THEM
Government Will Commence Sending The
Crop out About September
1St This Year.

The largest annual seed distribu-
ton ever made by the government
will be begun early this fall. Some
important changes in the plan of
conducting this distribution will be
established by the department of
agriculture. With a view Of hand
ling the seed to better advantage
the country has been divided into
six districts, and seeds and plants
particularly adapted to each district
will be distributed therein.
In years past much complaint has
been made that the seed is received
too late in the season, and this
fault is to be overcome by starting
the distribution this year Sept. 1.
There will be the usual distribu-
ton of miscellaneous vegetable
seeds, and, in addition, it is planned
to furnish limited number Of pack
ages Of novelties that is, seed OF
varieties either new or little known
and of peculiar merit for distribu-
ton in each locality. Each senator
and representative in congress will
have II, 600 packages to his credit.
There will be 500 packages con-
tanning five packets. The novelties
will be accompanied by a circular

their respective stores.
Every one who wishes to attend
this most excellent course, should
procure his season tickets now, as
the drawing will take place at no
distant date. The committee de-
sires to handle this course in man
ner most satisfactory to the people,
and to do this requires much
thought and early preparation.

thai can approach this. The price
of season tickets is put very low in
order that all may enjoy the enter

EPIDEMIC OF INSANITY.
Twenty-Five Patients Taken to Mendoza
Since Nov. 1st.

That insanity is becoming epidem-
ic in Grant county is a rather crazy
statement to make but it surely is
on the increase and the situation is
a matter for scientific research.
By the sheriff's books it is seen
that 81 demented persons have been
committed to Mendoza hospital for
treatment since Nov. LIST last.
The last one added to the list was
John Wilson, a clerk at Platteville,
who was examined Monday in that
city, adjudged insane ann taken to
Mendoza yesterday by the sheriff.

Fred Fl. Alt was born in the city
of Lancaster, Wis, May 16, 1874,
and died Sunday afternoon, August
3, 1902 Thus he was but a little
more than twenty eight years of
age at the time of his untimely de-
mise.
He was married April 81, 1896, to
Miss Edith Nemitz, who came to
this city from Germany four years
previous to their union. One child
blessed this union, a daughter, Hill
degard, born Sept. 5, 1897.
He received his education at the
Lancaster high school, served an
apprenticeship in Nathan & Sons
market, and entered into business
with his father, Louis Alt, in 1898.
Besides father, mother, wife and
daughter, there remain four broth
ers, Arno, Hurbert, Carl and Ernest,
and one sister, Lisetta, another sis
ter having died in infancy.
T e funeral services were held in
the German Evangelical church, Of
which society Fred was a faithful
member, Rev. Nobholz conducting
the solemn service, and the inter-
ment took place in the Lancaster
cemetery.
The funeral was an exceptionally
large one and assolemn occasion, all
the business places in the city having
been closed. The floral decorations
were most beautiful and extensive,
the gifts of business associates and
friends. The casket was nearly
buried in a bank of beautiful flowers,
thus partially relieving the painful
impression of death with the pure
and beautiful symbols of Natures
bounty. Also a profusion of beau
tiful designs was arranged about the
altar.
The bearers were: Fred Nehls,
Wieland Oswald, George Casper,
AdOlph Kemper, Herman Bruss and
William Wetter, all me-tried
friends of the deceased.
This completes the brief story of
a young life full Of promise and use
fulness. Always source of COM
fort and a tower of moral strength
to those near and dear to him; ever
cheerful, companionable and court
eous to his friends and business
associates, his demise is gener-
ally mourned by an entire COM
munity.
The demeanor Of this young man
was modest, and he went about his
usual daily duties in an unussuming
way. His uniform daily kindness
and cheerfulness to those about
him, even during the past five years
while disease was undermining his
health endeared him to the hearts
Of all. His good deeds were ac-
cOmpanied by no more conscious
ness than he employed in the act of
breathing, because they were the
natu ral, spontaneous expression of
a true and kind heart. His char
acter exemplified the expression
That best portion of good mans life
Are his little, nameless, aforementioned
Acts of kindness and of love-"
The influence of such a character
lives far beyond that of many lives
of greater pretension but of lesser
goodness, and the blessing of having
been under the influence of such a
life rests like a benediction on the
lives of those near and dear to him.
Love took up the harp of life and smote on
all the chords with might;
Smote the chord of self that, trembling
passed in music out of sight"

Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, msn-that is
the order of woman's preference.
Jewels form a magnet of mighty power
to the average woman Even that
greatest of all jewels, health, is often

or save the money to purchase them.
If a woman will risk her health to get 3
coveted gem then let her fortify her
self against the insiduous conse-
ouences of coughs, colds and bronchial
affections by the regular use of DR.:
Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
promptly arrest consumption in its
early stages and heal the affected lungs
and bronchial tuhes and drive the dreaa
