With Every Two Years Paid
on the Great Home Paper.
A VERY LIBERAL OFFER
Excellent Opportunity for DelinQuents
to Take Advantage OF. New
Patrons Have Privilege.

Along with the big county fair
this week the Herald will conduct
three bargain days
The idea is double in it's merits
and can be taken advantage of with
profit to everyone. The prime OBJ
ject is to induce delinquent sub
scribers to liquidate; but not desir
ing to discriminate in the least the
offer is made general one.
A ticket to the county fair, good
for either day, will be given free to
any person paying two years sub
scription to the Grant County Her
aid; If you pay three years you will
be entitled to two tickets, four years
three, and so on up.
New subscribers paying year in
advance will be given a ticket good
for the fair either day free.
Remember, the Herald is the only
paper printed in the county that
comes to you twice each week, and
you cannot well afford to pass up
this generous offer of admission to
the best fair in the county free.
The office will be open all day
Wednesday, and on Thursday and
Friday fOrenoons.

EVERYTHING
IN READINESS
Weather Only Will Prevent
Record Breaking Fair.
GATES TO OPEN TO-DAY
y w Attractions That Cannot Fail tt
Please. Increased Entries in
Every Department.

Tomorrow the gates of the Grant
County fair will be thrown open
and the 18th annual exposition of
the products of Southwestern Wis
consin will be ready for the public.
Most elaborate preparations have
been made and it is quite within
the bounds of moderate statement
to say that no such fair has been
given in Lancaster and that
means great deal.
All that is now left to insure the
the fair to be a complete success
is the weather. Entries in all de-
partments are rolling in at rate
that will surpass anything in line
of exhibits ever before shown when
unveiled and the unusual interest
manifest by everyone in general and
Lancaster folks in particular goes
to show that the fair this year will
be record breaker in all respects.
The program tomorrow includes
besides the Wild West show feat
ures the $40 pace and 2:29 trot
with a good running race thrown
in.
Friday will see the two-year- old
trot, the free-for-all and another
exciting running race, with exhibi-
tons between heats by the Wild
West aggregation, which is already
upon the ground.
Every indication points to big
fair this week and you will miss
it if you fail to attend.

TROUBLEAT BLUERIVER
Allen Powers and Wilbur Mcdowell
Charged With Assault.

Deputy Sheriff Jacob Miller OF
Boscobel and Constable Thos. Tay-
lor of Blue River brought Allen
Powers and Wilbur Mcdowell to
Lancaster Monday evening and
lodged them in county jail.
The young men reside near Elk
celsior, Richland county. Saturday
they were at Blue River and on that
evening assaulted John Whit, the
well known farmer and wolf hunt
er, familiar throughout this section
by his mammoth crop Of hair and
whiskers.
The victim is in bad plight and
the injuries he sustained at hands OF
his assailants may prove fatal. The
skull is fractured and three ribs are
broken, and the outcome of the case
will depend upon the result.
The young men left Blue River
after the occurrence and were not
arrested until Sunday evening, and
then after hard chase through
corn fields and underbrush in vicin-
ity of their homes by the above
named officers. The complaint was
sworn out by Robt. Gore before
Justice Richard Brewer, both OF
Blue River. The injured man is
being cared for at home of Constable
Taylor and DR.. Coombs, resident
physician, is in charge.
A preliminary hearing is set for
today here, but it may be continued
if there is a change noted in the
victims condition.
Mcdowell is a single man, while
Powers Is married.

Native of Ireland and an Old
Settler of Wisconsin.
APPOPLEXY THE CAUSE
Summons Came Without Warning
Biographical Sketch of Deceased.
Funeral Tomorrow.

ThOs. Leamy, well known cit
izen of Lancaster dropped dead in
his dooryard Monday morning
from stroke of appoplexy while
engaged in moving his lawn. No
one saw him when he fell, but
members of family soon discovered
his lifeless body and called for aid
from physicians, but to no avail,
life being extinct.
Deceased was born in Waterford,
Ireland, in 1929, and emigrated to
this country in 1850. He located
at Apple River, ILL.,, and there was
united in marriage to Margaret
Foley July 10, 1857. They removed
from Apple River to Bloomington
Wis, in 1870, and located on a
farm, and had resided continuous
ly in this county ever since, moving
to Lancaster about four years ago.
Besides the widow, twelve chill
dren survive, as follows: John,
James, George and Edward of
Letcher, S. D.; Frank of Steele, N.
D.; Thos. and Daniel of Blooming
ton; Mrs. Peter McCawley, Shulls-
burg; Mrs. Andrew Zenz of
Hurricane; Mrs. Henry Bond OF
Bloomington; Miss Isabel Leamy,
Lancaster; Mrs. Matt Zenz, Hu1ri-
cane.
Funeral services will be held
Thursday at ST. Clements church,
FIR. Albers officiating, and remains
will be taken to Bloomington fo1
interment.

The New Bowling Fad.

The latest fad in bowling has not
yet reached Lancaster, although it
is probable it will be here before
long. 1t is called box ball and it
is described as follows:
The box ball alley is about 40 feet
long, covered with a cork prepara-
ton. The five pins used are set in
a line and hung on hinges, the two
outside pins being numbered S, the
next two 4, and the middle pin num-
Der 8. Three balls are used to the
frame, "spares" counting as in any
other game, if made. No pin-set-
ters are required, as the pins are put
back in place by the pulling of a
lever at the control of the players.
The game looks easy but much
higher degree of skill is required
than in the regulation game of ten
pins, for each ball gets only such
pins as it hits, two being the highest
possible number. The game re-
quires no particular strength as the
smallest size of balls is used, and the
distance makes it easy for ladies.
The game costs just half the price
charged for ten-pins, and the bowl
ing is done very rapidly, there be-
ing no waits, for the balls are re-
turned to the players automatically.

Bananas May Be High.

About three weeks ago a hurri-
cane swept over the island of Jamai
ca and devastated a large territory
occupied by banana raising planta-
lions. Jamaica is a great source
of fruit supply for American cities,
and it seems not unlikely that prices
will be materially affected during
the coming season. The banana
trust has already advanced whole
sale figures to the highest advisable
notch, but dealers will find some
difficulty in securing the fruit and
may be compelled to make the prices
still higher.
