The sooner a. man shuff1es off this
mortal coil the sooner his good quail
ties will be recognized.
A cheap substitute for coal is
mentioned that seems practical and
easily experimental with. tt stat
ed that a soft porous brick saturated
with kerosene and placed in a kitchen
stove will furnish heat enough to
cook an ordinary meal and heat up
finely. The cost Of the kerosene
would not exceed two cents. Terra
Gotta brick used in building partition
walls are said to be best, as they are
hollow, but any soft brick would test
the value pf the plan. Another
cheap device is to fill a tin can, say
a tomato can, with dry wood ashes
press down and add kerosene until
the ashes are saturated, and light it.
The ashes act as wick and give
good results. Wrap the can around
with wire. Such are the directions.
Ali this information must be taken
for what it is worth, as the writer
has not investigated the value of it,
but temporary shelter is safer than
the open sea in case of a bad storm.

The Bloomington Football Game.

The Lancaster second team lined
up at Bloomington Saturday against
an aggregation of>high school and
city men posing as the Bloomington
high school team.
Although Bloomington made one
touchdown and forced the second
team back for a safety, it may be
safely said that Lancaster outplayed
her opponents. 1t was due more to
their weight than their science that
they won the game by a score of
seven points, for they averaged Is
pounds more that the second team
as it played.
After the first ten minutes Of play,
during which time the scoring was
made, Lancaster held her own, keep
ing the ball near the middle Of the
field and forcing her opponents to
do some hard playing. AS the Lam
caster quarter back did not know
the signals and Bloomington played
mostly city men, it is marvellous
that the second team held them
down as well as they did.

GOES TO NEW FIELD.
Rev. r. j. Brown Goes to Fond du Lac.
Church Committee Expresses Regret.

The members of the Congregations
al church. had a meeting last
Wednesday evening and regretfully
accepted the resignation of Rev.
Brown, who had fully decided that
duty called him to larger field OF
usefulness.
During the g. years in which Mr..
Brown filled the Congregational pull
pit in this city he made many friends
who enjoyed his scholarly sermons
and his pleasant and helpful ways.
Mr.. Brown is a preacher of great re-
source and he wears well. Our
people were not in the least tired of
him and would have been only too
willing for him to stay indefinitely.
The following resolutions passed
at the business meeting are a gen
uine and sincere expression of the
esteem in which he was held by the
society:
WHEREAS, Our beloved pastor, Rev.
T. j. Brown, has felt it his duty to re-
SIGN the passionate of this church and
remove to another field, and we as a
body desire to express, in some meas
ure, our love for him as faithful
Shepherd, our high appreciation of his
work in our midst and of his Christian
character, his ability as a preacher of
the gospel, and the honor and esteem
in which we hold him as righteous
servant of the Master, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That we accept his resig-
nation with sorrow and deeply regret
his departure. In the years spent
among us he has been our faithful
guide and minister, ministering to us
Of the things of God. He has rejoiced
with us in our joys and grieved with us
in our sorrows. He has offciated at
our marriages, his hands have rested
in benediction on our little ones in
baptism, he has held before the fading
sight of our dying the cross of Christ,
the hope of glory, and his tears have
mingled with ours at the graves OF our
loved ones while he pointed us to the
only true source of consolation. Be-
cause of this his memory will ever be
enshrined among our tenderest recol-
lections. Wherever he may go our
best wishes, our earnest prayers for
his highest success and happiness, go
with him. May our Father have him
in His holy keeping until he shall
come to his reward in that realm where
sorrow and partings are unknown.
RESOLVED, That these resolutions be
placed upon the records of this church
and a copy presented to Rev. Brown.

Last Thursday at the comfort
able home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Baumgartner occurred a happy
event-the celebration of their tlt-
tieth wedding anniversary. An adj
ditional source Of joy was the pres
ence Of all the children and several
grandchildren, and other relatives,
as follows: Louisa (Mrs. Martin
Oswald) Of this city; Nelson and son
Clarence, Of Plainville, Kansas; Leo
j. of Armour, South Dakota; Frank
and son Carl, Of Laurens, Iowa;
Peter w. and family, of Fennimore;
William and family, of Fennimore,
and Cora, at home; Mr.. Baumgart-
ner's brother John of Fennimore,
and her brother Joseph Winterling,
of Jefferson, Wis; Mr.. and Mrs.
Valentine Stuckey of Plainville,
Kansas, (the latter niece who
lived several years with them on
the farm and Mr.. and Mrs. Geo
Muesse of this city.
1t goes without saying that the
day was a joyful and memorable
one in the lives not only Of the
honored principals, but of the chill
dren and other relatives as well.
Here for the first time. in years
were gathered together the family
once more with the old folks, to re-
vive memories of childhood's happy
days and to gladden. the parental
heart with plans for future useful
ness in the daily walks of life. Few,
indeed, are there at the present day

The Educational Amendment.

To Voters Especially Interested in
School Affairs:
1t is hoped that the educational amend
ment to be voted upon on Nov. 4th may
be examined by every voter in a spirit Of
fairness and with view to such action
as may advance the educational inter-
ests of the state.
The adoption of the amendment
would accomplish the following results:
/. AS to Actual Changes:
l. It would change the time of elect
ing the state superintendent from Nov.
to April.
2. 1t would change his term Of office
from two years to four years.
3. It would require him to enter
upon the duties of his office in July,
the beginning of the school year. in
stead of in January, the middle of the
school year.
There is every reason to believe that
these changes would be in the interest
of better service and greater freedom
from political oinfuence.
III. AS to New Powers given to the
Legislature:
1. It would give the legislature the
power to fix the qualifications OF the
state superintendent.
2. Tt would give the legislature
power to change his salary from
$1,000. the maximum now authorized
by the constitution, to sum that
would attract respectable talent.
This would save the legislature from
the necessity of adopting Indirect
means to make fair compensation, and
save the state from disgrace OF pen
uriousness on the one hand and shift
ness on the other.
3. Tt would give the legislature
power to require the election of county
superintendents i'll April instead of
in November.
The adoption of the amendment
would invest the legislature with power
to legislate upon these three particulars
but would not oblige them to make
any change in either. The Legislature
can be trusted to do right by the i'm
portant offices of state and county
SUPPLEMENTARY.
So much of the amendment as is not
included in the above six particulars
gives no new power to the legislature,
See Constitution of Wisconsin, Article
XIII, Section g.
There is every reason to believe that
it will not be possible to secure any of
these needed changes for many years
to come unless the present effort shall
be successful. 1t is therefore very
necessary that a favorable vote be cast
on Nov 4th.
The purpose of this circular is to
secure intelligentsaction on the amend
ment I have presented the matter
as it appears to me. l hope that you
will take the same view and that you
will accordingly vote for the amend-
ment.
If you favor the adoption of the
amendment use your influence with
your friends to the same end.

Estinable Lancaster Couple Who Celebrated Their Feth
Anniversary Thursday

years of married life; fewer still who
attain the goal still retaining good
health and enjoyment of life's
blessings. Temperate habits, Sc
rene intellect and a clear conscience
are necessary to the attainment OF
such a result. This worthy couple
possessed these qualities in an emf
nent degree.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baumgartner were
married at Jefferson, Wis, Mrs.
Baumgartner's maiden name being
Anna Maria Winterling. The groom
was born at Wurlitz, Bavaria, Ger
many, Nov. 16, 1880, and his wife
at the same place Sept. 6, 1929.
They look back over this ledger of
domestic felicity without finding a
blotted page, and a family of grown
children rise up and call them
blessed.
Mr.. Baumgartner came to Amer
lea in 1850. Passed some time at
jefferson, Cassville and ST. Louis,
and entered his claim to the farm
on which they resided for nearly
fifty years in 1852. They left the
farm in 1899, coming to Lancaster
to live. Their son Will occupies it
now.
Mr.. Baumgartner was honored by
his fellow citizens of Fennimore
with numerous public offices. He
was a member of the board of SUI
pervisors in 1878 and 1875, and
chairman in 1876. For nine years
ne was treasurer of the town.

GIANTS BONES
Found by Sand Pit Digger Near
Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, o., Aug. 15.-Thursday
afternoon while Jacob Burk, of Brom-
ley. Ky, a suburb Of Cincinnati, was
at work in the sand pits just east of
Bromley, he unearthed what was at
first supposed to be the bones of some
animal, but on further examination
il proved to be the skeleton of a man
of gigantic proportions. After fur
ther excavating it was discovered that
there were two more skeletons of the
same gigantic size, lying alongside
of the one which was first discovered.
The skeletons were lying in regular
order and were in an excellent state
of preservation. They were measured
and it was found that they avera ged
about seven feet in height and had
massive features and high cheek bones.
The bones were well preserved and in
only few places were they discon-
nected. while the teeth were in excel
lent condition. The excavation from
which they were taken was 80 feet
deep.

bound on the Baltimore Il ONO rail-

on rails in the yard and suspectine
something wrong, he put out the dan

Investigation showed that a lock had
been broken, a switch thrown and
heavy piece of iron driven into a
frog. Had Coyne not stopped the train,
whose speed at that point is about 40
miles an hour, it would certainly have
been wrecked, and probably thrown
over a steep bank. There was an un-
usually large number of passengers on
the train.
