The Word ~"RaGGinG.,o

The word Raging" is more common
in England than in this country, ven
if the custom is not. An English paper
asserts that rag" is not a slang word.
but is a real old verb, also to be found
in use among Icelanders, meaning to
banter or irritate. In Lincolnshire and
doubtless other counties to provoke a
boy is called getting his rag out"
"Bullyrag" is an elaboration of the ele-
mentary term, and here also the mean
ing is clear. A ragamufhn originally
meant a kind of demon.

Wonndn of the Heart.

In wounds of the heart itself the es-
cape of blood is eve i'm large guam
tity, and the lethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape Of blood
from within its cavity or cavities into
the surrounding sac of the pericardium
mechanically interrupts the alternate
and expansion by which
Its pumping action is maintained. Ac-
cordingly the results Of the wound Of
the heart are usually identical with
those Of gradual suffocation.-Ameri-

PRISONER ESCAPES.
Chas. Barrett Breaks Jail at Prairie
du Chen.

Chas. Barrett who was awaitin g
hearing in Justice court before
Garrity of Prairie du Chen on a
charge Of forgery took his leave
of absence from the Crawford
county Jail Thursday last
night without notifying the jailor.
The man had been given permits
sion to use the unoccupied ladies'
sleeping department during his
tay in which an attic door in the
ceiling is kept closed with a COM
mon pad lock which holds the
latch with the aid of com
mon staple driven into the case
ing; this he pulled out and taking
small satchel in which he had
placed all his clothes, together
with a rope made of several bed
sheets and towel entered the
attic, took out the small circular
window to the south and let him
self down to the walk below and
the world again.
The discovery was made about
four o'clock Friday morning when
Deputy Tom Stackland arose and
opened the door to find the white
rope hanging before him. All he
left behind was a few articles of
clothing, and a guitar-zither on
which was a card containing the
following: with kindest regards
to Miss M. McCullick" and a novel
which the young lady had loaned
him the day before. The prisoner
had been very restless during
day. Thursday and it is said told
the sheriff they have got me"
and feared the penitentiary. Such
a criminal should have been con-
fined to an iron cell. The district
attorney had very damaging testi-
mony against him and would no
doubt been able to sent him to
the pen"

Council Proceedings.

Regular meeting of the common
council was held Friday evening,
Oct. 9th, instead of the October 9Th;
it being very stormy that night.
All members were present except
Aldermen Muesse and Goodrich.
Minutes of last meeting read and
approved. A communication from
Aid. Goodrich TO the mayor Was
read, Mr.. Goodrich resigning as a
member of the council on account
of removal from the city. Mayor
Hassel appointed Louis Wetter,
which upon motion was confirmed
by the council. The levy of city
tax was postponed until Oct. 25rd.
Alderman Place stated that Mr..
Anton Schmitt had approached him
in regard to his damage suit against
the city, saying that the council
would still have a chance to settle
with him before the coming term of
court and if no settlement was made
that he would proceed by law. AS
no member of the council had any
thing to say, the matter passed by.
A number of claims were presented,
audited and ordered paid.
No further business, the council
adjourned.

Fuel Will Not Be Scarce.

Lancaster will not suffer fuel
famine this winter such as was
experienced last, judging from the
carloads of coal that have been
housed here the past few months.
Over a thousand tons more were
received here this fall than ever
before in a single season. Owing
to the exorbitant price of wood, a
great many people have discarded
wood stoves altogether or sub
stituted suitable CRATES to burn
coal and this accounts for the great
amount of the last named pro-
duct being purchased this fall. 1T
is quite probable that wood will
be more of drug on the market
during the winter and sell at much
lower price than was quoted last
year.

Condensed Milk.

Things had been quiet at the
Jones' household all summer, but
the other night when Jones pushed
his chair back from the table, wiped
his nose on the napkin and coughed
in a forced manner, Mrs. Jones in
stinctly felt that there was going to
be something doing.

an impressive silence, "you have un-

Hasn't a man got any right in his

Columbus may have thought he did
something, but a little STUNT like

discovered the great secret of the
power of mind over matter. By
this process, it is impossible to hide
even the smallest thought from the
penetrating batteries of the brain
when the dynamic force is properly
adjusted to the occult powers. At
this present moment your mind is
as plain to me as an open book.
You are thinking, "Mr. Jones, you
are fool" but I will demonstrate
beyond the preadventure of doubt
that you are mistaken, as usual. 1t

law in apprehending criminals like
the man who wrote, In the Good
Old Summer Time" will be able
to foresee the ambitions and designs
of all nations, except Carrie. I will
now give a demonstration of my
mind powers as mind reader.
You are to conceal some article
while [ am out Of the room, and
blind-folded I will locate it. Take
sewing machine, for instance; hide
it any place you wish, and when you
are ready I will come into the room
and by telepathic communica ton, |
will discover it's exact location in
three minutes"
Jones left the room until Duplicate
announced that she was ready"
Then blind-folded he CROPPED his way
to where Duplicate stood, grasped
her hand and instructed her to keep
her mind constantly on the place
where she had hidden the sewing
machine.
Duplicate Thought and Jones
went tearing around the room like a
bull in a china shop, but finally
brought up against the cellar door
with ''bang' that proved disastrous
to the hinges and precipitated Jones
and the door to the cellar floor below.
He stopped when his head struck the
potato bin, and the raspberry jam
and current jelly jars fell off from
the shelf and mingled with his
bruised body and injured feelings.
Kind neighbors came in and helped
to gather up the wreck. Jones was
laid tenderly on a sofa. Inabout an
hour he batted his eyes and said:
| ''Duplicate-dear-I forgive you,
but please don't try to get my life
insurance that way again. When I
make any more demonstrations of
mind reading, don't want you as a
subject. A giraffe, rhinocerous or
a cold storage plant, might do, but
you haven't got any mind to read.
At an exhibition of brains you
wouldn't even receive honorable
mention I" After that the white
dove of peace tried to settle down
over the Jones' home, but couldn't
find anything to light on.

New Change.

The new interchangeable mile
age ticket which the. passenger
officials of most of the western
roads have reached an agreement
to commence using on November
1, in place of the present credential
system, is an innovation brought
about by the persistent demands
made by the travelling men. 1t is
stated that the chairman of the
Western Passenger association has
been notified to prepare to handle
the new ticket in the mileage
bureaus of the association on
November 1, and also to have
printed and distributed the rules
and regulations to ticket agents
and to purchasers of the new ticket.
It will be good on the following
roads:
Chicago and Northwestern; Chi
cage, ST. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha; Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy; Chicago & Alton; Chi
cago Great Western; Wisconsin
Central; Illinois Central; Great
Northern; Northern Pacific; Min
neapolis & st. Louis; Iowa Central !;
Quincy, Omaha & Kansas City;
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul.
The new ticket will cover 1000
miles and will be sold at $50. If
the original purchaser uses it ex-
clusively he will be paid rebate
of $3.50 thereby reducing the
cost Of his transportion to practical
ly 2 cents mile.

Postal Clerks Prefer Slow Runs.

The increasing number of rail
way wrecks, due to the greater
number and higher speed OF trains
is making trouble for the postofice
department. 1t is the custom OF
railways to put mail cars next te
the engine, and the result is that
in wrecks the postal clerks are IN
a place of greater danger and rare
ly have any warning of their peril.
So far this year more than forty
railway postal clerks have been
killed and over 500 injured, more
or less seriously. In consequence
the clerks are not attracted by the
runs on the fast trains like those
running through here. Many OF
them have asked to be transferred
from the trunk lines, where they
get salaries of 81, 500 a year but the
work is harder and danger greater,
to the branch lines, where much
trouble is experienced by the
maximum yearly salary is $1,000

Thursday, while he and Billy Walters
were trying to separate some COWS
from their calves. Although he will
be laid up for some time, Adam con-
siders himself lucky in not being in
jured more seriously as the animal was
very ferocious and made another at
tack on her victim after he fell to the
ground. At this stage of the fray Billy
came to the res cue and was kicking
the furious beast on the nose and head
when she turned her attention to him
and gave him butt below the belt
and Billy was counted out in the first
round. Luckily for Adam and Billy

were diverted towards dog who was
at hand and thus saved them from
further harm. Mr. Schumacher is get

make the statement that in the future
Potosians can justly boast of having
meat market that will compare fav-
orably with the best in Southwestern
Wisconsin. Mr.. Hymer has for years
been a prominent stockbuyer with
headquarters here and his reputation
for good judgment in this particular
line is unquestioned. Their patrons
can therefore rely on his we'll earned
experience in procuring the best that
the market affords.

FOOT BALL GAME.
Lancaster Boys Defeated the Boscobel
Team-Score 33 to O.

In one of the snappiest games
ever witnessed on the local grid
iron, Lancaster high school de-
feated Boscobel high school Satur-
day by score Of 33 to 0.
The attendance was far from
what it. should have been, the
gate receipts being less than $40,
while the home team was under
obligations to visitors for expenses
amounting to $25.
Those who did witness the
scrimmage felt well repaid for the
time and voted the game a good
one, Notwithstanding the fact that
it was in one sense of the word a
one-sided affair.
The teams we're fairly well
matched in point of weight, but
the home aggregation outclassed
their opponents in every phase of
the game, being more active and
quicker to take advantage of OPP
portunitieo that presented. Bosco-
bel was unable to secure my gains
when in possession Of the ball and
time and again lost it on failure
to advance. At no time was Lam
casters goal in danger, while the
contest at every stage was on Bos-
cobel's ground. Captain McBrien
was unfortunate in kicking goals
owing to the high wind.
The visitors are plucky young
sters and executed their best eff
forts in attempts to score, but were
unsuccessful, Lancaster's line be-
ing absolutely impregnable.
