Sensation at Boscobel.

Our neighboring city of Boscobel is
in turmoil again over. the disgraceful
action on the part of one of it's pro-
fessional men and a young lady teach
er in the public schools of that place.
y A loud clamor for prosecution of
the parties brought Deputy Sheriff
Miller to Lancaster Friday and war
rants for the arrest of the naughty
ones were issued by Justice Wheeler.
Sheriff Dickinson and Dist. Atty.
Brown returned with the Boscobel
officer to thoroughly investigate the
circumstances before proceeding in
the matter, and after sitting the evil
dence came to the conclusion that
Grant county officials had no juris-
diction in the case, the alleged crime
having been committed elsewhere.
Whether the matter will be carried
into the courts at all is now ques-
ton. The parties implicated are well
known and occupy high positions in
social affairs.

Who Will Experiment With Peach
Trees.

for soil, location and protection that
will tend toward acclimating the
peach.
He suggests as probably best, clay
soil on northern exposures. and that
the tree should be inclined to the
south, espalier fashion, with or with

ACCIDENTS-INCIDENTS

Milwaukee, April 15.-The Sentinel
says this morning: Summary action
is to be taken by the representatives
of 700 class teachers in the Milwaukee
Teachers association, more than half
of whom are paid less than ward labor
ers and window washers about the
public buildings-schoOl houses in
cluded-at a meeting Saturday morn
ing. From expressions of members 1t
would seem that something in the ma
ture of a strike is not improbable.
There are $50 public school teachers
who are receiving a smaller annual
salary than the wage Of the day Ia
borer in Milwaukee, according to re-
port to be made by the committee on
city salaries which will be submitted,
and it will show that the teachers OF
the city are the most poorly paid OF any
city in the United States. An appeal
will be made for an increase.

out wire or trellis; and that in winter
the trees should be covered with
straw or weeds and brush.
All the compensation asked is that
each man shall give to the world his
experiments and the result and bene-
fit of his information.
Continued experiments have ex-
tended in our day the corn, apple,
grape and orange belts hundreds OF
miles northward.
The peach is here hanging around,
anxious to stay, although it needs a
little norsing. Why not help it?
Succeed and the boys will bless you!
If the experiments should be made
in earnest, it is expected that there
will be more trees to distribute next
year from peaches raised here in 1901.

The Normal boys who were quite in
innate with Rolla Moses one evening
last fall, are beginning to recover from
the blow, and are wondering how it all
happened. They have figured out that
each ones share of the $4,000 demand
for damages will be just $769.23. Spot
Henry says he would just as soon work
it out if they would give him time.
Altogether it seems as though Mr..
Moses places a rather high valuation
on the injuries he received. With all
due regard for Mr.. Moses, it seems that
$4,000 is pretty large sum to de-
mand for few temporary injuries.
