DEATH CLAIMS
ALTA STEPHENS

This community was greatly sur
prised and shocked last Saturday
to hear of the death of Miss Alta,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ritner
Stephens, at their new home near
Huron, South Dakota.
Miss Stephens went to that city
about two months ago, and for
six weeks had been suffering from
imfammatory rheumatism. She
grew so much better, however, that
the doctor gave the parents per-
mission to come to Lancaster,
where they had packed their house
hold goods, preparatory to remov-
ing to their new home. The mes
sage announcing her death came
like a bolt from a well-nigh clear
sky and could scarcely be credited.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Dougherty
and Miss Laura Stephens came
with the remains, arriving in this
city on Sunday noon. Hal Steph-
ems and son Orlo came from James
vile the same day.
There was brief service at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Wright on Monday morning, after
which the funeral was held at
Dodge church northwest of Bee
town, conducted by Rev. T. J.
Morgans, assisted by Rev Witherbee
of Bloomington. The attendance
was very large and the expression
of sorrow was general. The in
terment occurred in the Dodge
cemetery.
Alta Stephens, youngest daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ritner Stephens,
was born near Beetown, Wis, Jan. 5,
1884, where her happy girlhood
days were passed at the pleasant
farm home. She came with her
parents to this city few years ago
where she attended high school, grad
uating from the school with the class
of 1900. A girl of industry and am
bition, Miss Stephens at once assum-
ed the duties of teacher, conducting
very successful schools at Animation,
Ellenboro and Boaz. 1t was her in
tention to have taken course in the
Normal school at Huron, South
Dakota, her new home, when she
departed for the west.
Miss Stephens was young lady
of beautiful character and cheerful,
pleasant disposition. She was the
very picture of physical beauty and
perfection. Little did any. of her
Eschoolmates think that she would
be the first of that happy circle of
young people to sicken and pass
over the line to that undiscovered
country from whose bourne no
traveller returns" The cypress is
cut down in the beauty of perfect,
vigorous youth. The mystery of
life's fascination is it's uncertainty.
| We know not what moment the
dread summons comes or where
the blow shall fall, suffice it to say
that all must answer sooner or
later. Life is beautiful, having
compensation for the most sorely
afi ted; and the hope of an infinite
ly better and greater Immortality
makes it doubly precious, and
permits us to endure the affection
which takes from us those nearest
and dearest in our affections.

The buckwheat crop is bigger
than ever but now the sausage

On the train to Chicago the other
day a lady passenger was boo-hCO-
ing fit to kill and a gentleman pas
senger said to her, MY dear friend,
what can I do to console-you in your
troubles?" She said her troubles
were inconsolable; that she was on
her way to California to have her
fifth husband cremated. just then
across the aisle two seats back an
other lady burst out crying with all
her might and the gentleman
stepped back to get her troubles; she
said she was forty-two years of age
and had never been able to catch a
man yet while that thing across the
aisle had husbands to burn. And
she didn't think it was right.
Most of the ladies of this town
raise their skirts in walking, and it
is all right as far as we can see.
A Platteville girl had a proposal
of marriage recently and asked a
week to consider it, which was
granted. She then organized her
self into an investigating committee
and commenced taking testimony
from the married women of her &C
ouaintance. The first one she
visited used to he a belle and the
most admired girl in town before
she was married six years ago. The
cross examination brought out the
fact that she had three children,
did all of her own work, including
washing and ironing and had not
been down town for six weeks and
that her husband had given her two
dollars since they were married. An
other whom she visited quit teach
ing school to marry the hand
soonest and best dressed man in
town." and is now supporting him.
A third didn't dare say her soul was
her own when her husband was
around though she used to write
some lovely essays on 1.-THE Eman-
cipation of Women" when she was
in school. After summing UP the
evidences she went home and wrote
the young man. She will be mar
ried next week. In the face of pre-
ponderance of adverse evidence she
decided in..the favor of matrimony
from it's merits from her own point
Of view. - ra<-,.

A newspaper is pretty good index
of city. That. is recognized every
where. If the paper has a healthy
appearance the town or city is gener-
ally set down as healthy. Thousands
of people see the paper representa-
tive of the city that have never seen
the city and form their good opinions.
The value of these opinions cannot
be measured. Smiles, good words,
a friendly grasp of the hand, cost but
little effort, yet they are mighty in
their influence. A healthy newspaper
makes a healthy sentiment and a
healthy sentiment makes a healthy
town.

Mans business certainly requires
haste. The average business and pro
fessional man eats in hurry and gets
dyspepsia. He walks in hurry and
gets apoplexy. He talks in q hurry
and gets the lie. He does business
in a hurry aud becomes bankrupt.
He reads in hurry and is superficial
He votes in hurry and produces
corruption. He marries in hurry
and gets a divorce. He trains his
children in a hurry and develops
spendthrifts and criminals. He gets
religion in hurry and forgets it in
hurry. He makes his will in hurry
and leaves a legal contest. He dies
