TENNIS AND GOLF BOTH LAG
Play ON Courts and Links Hampered
by the Rainfall, but Not
Abandoued

Both tennis and golf nave been consider
ably hindered during the last week by the
rains. Tennis courts all over town have
been so wet that no play was possible even
where they were not washed. as was the
case on most of them. .rhe Field club
was forced to postpone it's first handicap
match in tennis and it is not likely that
1t will be held before next week now. as
the courts cannot be gotten into shape
before then. The st. Croix club expects,
however, to hold its open tournament
(handicap) beginning a week from Mon
day, as originally intended.

Notice.

To THE ASSESSORS AND BOARD OF
REVIEW OF GRANT COUNTY.
I have received the following
decisions on questions I have recent
ly submitted to the Tax Commission,
namely:
1. Mortgages held by banks should
not be separately assessed to the
banks, these mortgages are exempt
for the reason that banks pay taxes
on their capital stock.
2. Under the new law, taxing
bank stock, the owners of the
stock can offset their debts against
the stock in the same manner that
they are entitled to offset against
notes, etc. these can be established
in favor of stock holders whether
they are residents of the assessment
district where the bank is or not.
Assessors and Boards of Review
will please follow these decisions,
T. L. CLEARY.

Picnic at Molasses Gap.

JAS. Ryan's famous picnic ground,
Molasses Gap, in Muscalounge, was
recently the scene of a very pleas
ant picnic party numbering about
seventy people. From abroad there
were Mrs. John E. Ryan and son,
John Ryan, Jr., Seattle; Mrs. Angus
Morrison and children, Angus and
Irene, Victor, Col; Mrs. Lenhardt,
Sedgewick, Kan; Joe Weise, Mer-
rill, Wis. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Ryan,
Mr.. and Mrs. Beach, Mrs. Holt and
daughter, Cassville; Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Ryan anu the Misses Metcalf,
Glen Haven; Mrs. G. w. Ray and
daughter, Lancaster; Andrew My
ers, Misses Bessie, Lulu and Mary
Morkin and Miss Whitcomb, Bloom
ington.
A picnic dinner with all the
goodies imaginable was spread be-
meath the beautiful shade trees.
There was plenty for all and enough
for supper besides. The elements
seemed to be in harmony with the
picnickers and the clouds which
early IN the morning had threatened
rain served during the entire day as
a protection from the burning rays
of the sun.
Through the kindness of Miss
Ethel Metcalf snap shot was taken
of the merry group as they were at
dinner. A royal good time was had
by all present and the occasion is
one to be remembered with pleasure
by all who were there.

Potosi Pick-Ups.

Rev. r. C. BENEFITS and his good
wife returned Friday evening from
a three weeks vacation spent at the
Monona Lake assembly. The reve-
rend gentleman evidently did not
devote all his time to recreation and
rest but took advantage of a golden
opportunity to add to his already
vast store of knowledge from a
theological and scientific standpoint,
and as consequence he was greeted
by large congregation at both the
morning and evening services last
Sabbath who confidently expected
something in the way of treat and
they were in no wise disappointed,
for he delivered two excellent SER
mons that were both interesting and
instructive to his hearers and the
writer can vouchsafe that there are
others to follow.
Messrs Adam Schumacher and
Henry Doser with their wives and
Miss Julia Keehner returned Satur-
day from their trip to Colorado
points, Yellow Stone Park and Salt
Lake City They report a very
pleasant time.

FAYETTEVILLE NORMAL.
Catalogue for 19O2-19O3 Issued.
Graduates Since 1869 Number 724.

The annual catalogue of Platte
vile Normal for the school year Of
1902-19O3 is before us. The pamph-
let was printed at the office of the
Grant County News and contains
over one hundred pages Of interest
ing statistics concerning the in
stitution of Platteville's pride.
The total attendance at close of
the school year was 420 in all de-
partments. In looking over the
alumni many names are noted now
familiar as having filed important
places in life and credit is reflected
upon their alma mater by numer-
Gus successful careers.
The class of '03 now numbers 55
if all complete the course.
A summary Of the classes with
number of graduates is as follows:

Injunction Modified.

Atty. w. E. Howe was here from
Boscobel Monday for purpose of Sc
curing modification of an injunction
w. T. Hurd recently obtained
against VIM. Nelson.
Hurd occupies residence property
owned by Nelson and complains that
the lease he held grants him priv
lege of purchasing same at any time
for $4,000. Nelson recently sold
the place to his son, and the latter
has given Hurd notice to vacate
which the tenant refuses to do.
Hurd had the injunction served to
prevent the owner from making any
effort to eject him from the premi-
ses.
A slight modification in the in
junction was secured by Atty. Howe
as counsel for Mr.. Nelson in that
Hurd can be compelled to pay the
rent of $12 in advance each month.
The case will be tried at the fall
term of circuit court.

POLL TAX DODGERS.
City Authorities Bring DelinQuents
to Time.

John Simpson and VIM. Jacks on,
both residents of Lancaster, intend
to test the validity Of the poll tax
law, and have thus far refused to
pay this obligation.
The city authorities will contest
the matter to the end and have al
ready adopted stringent measures to
secure the amount levied again st
each of these men.
City Marshal Budworth Nom day
took possession of John Simpsons
team and harness and same was
turned over to the sheriff for keep
ing. Notices have been posted
advertising the sale Of the same,
to take place on Saturday, Aug. %,
IN order to secure poll tax OF
the owner.
On Monday Marshal Budworth
also garnisheed the wages of VIM.
Jackson, who is in the employ of
Thos. Mcdonald, and he will either
pay his poll tax next pay day or show
cause.
Dennis Bray, car repairer on the
Northwestern residing here, was a
little dilatory, and papers were
issued to COMPEL his coming to
time. He adjusted his delinquency
in a manner whereby he was saved
further costs.
But one other delinquent is re-
ported and papers will be served
upon him today.
1t is the object of the city author
tiles to see that none evade this
law this year and no pains or ex-
pense will be spared to punish
delinquents.
The tax amounts to $3.50, but
will increase rapidly when costs OF
collecting are attached.
LATER: AS the paper goes to
press it is learned that Mr.. Simpson
has settled the claim against him
by paying his tax with costs to date.

CHARGE Is ALTERED.
Evidence Expected to Warrant Con-
victiOn of Beckemeier Falls Short.

The preliminary hearing of Aug
ust Beckemeier of Patch Grove.
charged with the cowardly assault
upon Reed Patch of the same town
two weeks ago, particulars of which
are still fresh in the minds of
Herald readers, and who was
captured at Farmersburg, Ia, by
the Grant county sheriff and re-
turned here last week came on be-
fore Justice Wheeler Monday.
A change of venue was taken to
Justice Shimmin's court where the
case was heard. Dist Atty. Brown
looked after the prosecution, while
Atty. w. J. Brennan attended to
interests Of the defendant.
Witnesses examined on behalf of
the state were Mrs. Mary Jacco,
Max Kolb, Patrick Mcnamara and
Alex. Robertson, all of Patch Grove.
Beckemeier testified in his own
behalf.
Before close of examination of
the states witnesses it was clearly
seen that the evidence warranting
conviction of accused on charge
alleged intent to murder
not sufficient to warrant binding
him over to trial in circuit court,
and after considerable parleying it
was aged between the attorney
that the charge he modified to one
of assault and battery, to which
accused plead guilty.
The court thereupon pronounced
sentence of fine of 500 and costs
or six months in county jail.
The defendant is still in confne-
ment and unless relatives raise his
fine for him will likely remain be-
hind the bars for some time. Atty.
Brennan believes the penalty pre-
scribed to be too severe for his
client and if so advised will either
take an appeal to circuit court or
institute habeas corpus proceedings.

white silk parasol has a good dad.
Red silk-Usually carried by a
girl with a poor complexion who
has not the price to patronize
Pozzoni.
Blue-denotes happy disposition.
Probably carried to please some
masculine admirer.
Pink indicates girl who had a
red paraso1.
The girl who never carries q
parasol is either manish or believes
in sum baths.
The girl who never goes out with
out parasol, either possesses a
parasol that is the envy of her sex,
or she hates it so she is trying to
wear it out.
The girl who holds her parasol
midway between the handle and
the tip will some day be the boss
Of the roost.
A girl who persistently uses a
torn parasol is working the old
man for new one.
When she allows a young man to
carry it for her, you may know she
is going to tell the girls something
funny the next time they meet.
The girl who carries her parasol
over her shoulder is military
girl and has smelled powder.
The girl who swings her parasol
as she walks shows a happy dis
position, believes in using pins in
her makeup and spends her spare
change for Tutti- Frutti.
The girl who habitually carries a
parasol wrong side up imagines
herself nothing less than shep-
herdess with a crook looking for a
lost sheep. See that she don't get
you.
Look out for the girl who carries
a parasol under her arm. She will
do the same with her husband some
day.
The girl who occasionally carries
a parasol indicates thoughtlessness
-on the part of friend who has
not returned borrowed property.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

''It is deeds, not words, that
count" The recent indictments
in the postofice case may be made
up of words, but they look very
like deeds to the indicted officials.
The correspondents who sent their
papers stories to the effect that
Secretary Root had exonerated
Representative Littauer are wish
ing they hadn't. 1t begins to look
very much as though Mr.. Littauer's
case would go up to the Attorney
General.
1t is typical of the president that
he would not even cause the arrest
of the curmudgeon who swore at
the presidential party last Sunday.
Had Mr.. Roosevelt been alone and
the circumstances propitious the
cad would doubtless have received
summary justice from the presi-
Dental fists, however.
By the time the president has
reorganized the Government print
ing Office on a business basis, the
democrats will be left without even
the shadow of an issue.
The dismissal of a government
employe because he had been
expelled from a labor union was
too much for the presidents sense
of Justice aid he promptly caused
the man to be reinstated.
The most captious critic cannot
blame Egypt for objecting to the
so-called Egyptian dances" at the
ST. Lous fair They are a SANDER,
even on Egypt.
Since hearing his remarks anent
Ireland it would surprise no one to
learn that Edward VII kissed the
Barney stone in the course of his

because of the analyne dies used
