A Case of Delayed Mail.
(From the Milwaukee Sentinel.)

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.)
Every travelling man who has made
Southwestern Wisconsin knows, to
his Joy or sorrow, according to
weather, the stage which runs daily
between Lancaster and Platteville.
Why some people should cling to
this mode of transportation over the
sixteen miles between the two places
is mystery, for the train in the same
length of time will get you there for
so cents more, and thirty-two miles
thrown in, not to mention the various
rides backward, sideways, and up and
down included in the course.
This stage was the only means of
communication with the outside
world which Lancaster possessed.
Its record for safety and reliability
was severely shattered recently. This
is how itacame about. |H

served the needs, curtains rolled up

WORTHY PHILANTHROPY

The bequest last week by gentle
man and his wife, of three thousand
dollars TO the Young Mems Christian
association Of this city, was a gen
erous gift to worthy institution.
II is to be hoped this gift may be an
incentive to other citizens of Canon
TO give the money with which to pro-
vide permanent building, to stand
an enduring memorial to the interest
of the citizens in the welfare of its
youth and young manhood. OF all
the philanthropic organizations OF
the city, none has accomplished
greater good with the limited facilities
at its disposal, than has the Young
Mems Christian Association. For
ten years its doors have stood open
here from early morning till late at
night, extending an invitation to all
men to avail themselves of the op.
portunities and faciliti - offered for
mental, social, physical and spiritual
development and improvement. Other
cities. many of less size and wealth
than our own, have provided commo-
dious buildings rs permanent homes
for the work, for their young men.
1t seems that 1t is time that Canon
City should have rs the home of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. building amply sufficient to
meet the growing needs of our town
one where there might be facilities
for every influence that goes to make
for good
