DODGEVILLE SALOONS.
Pay Highest License Of any WiscOn-
sin Town.

Dodgeville, Wis, is city that
votes alternately, to be dry, than
to be wet" This year as was ex-
pected it decided in favor of having
saloons as the result of the election
recently held. Until this year, the
date of beginning or terminating of
operations has been the seventh Of
July. Two of the seven intending
saloon men, discovered however,
that vote in their favor allowed
them under the law, to open up at
once, provided the city council could
be induced to pass motion to that
effect. Thereupon they rendered
the city treasurer $4,000 each for a
permit to do business from now to
July 7, a period of a little over two
months of time. The council passed
the measure and Mayor Hogan
promptly signed it, upon the city at
torney declaring it lawful and valid.
This is nearly at the rate Of $4,000
per annum or the highest license
ever paid in Wisconsin.

Prefecture Incidents.

One dreary night last January, in
one of the New York free public lee
lures, Mr.. A. J. Talley, presented
views of Florence in a public school
in East Twenty-seventh street. To
the fourth-story hall had climbed a
weather-beaten old Italian, whose
features kindled as scene after scene
swept the canvas When the Bap-
tistry was shown, the old man whis-
pered softly: "Ah, now see Firenze
again."

most admired in the round of those
which illustrate Mr.. L. III. Tasker's

passes through it's canal every seven

Horse DisliIkes Women.

Cresceus, the greatest of trotting
horses, is a woman hater His owner
says that the horse has no use what
ever for The ladies, and if one of the
fair sex happens to be visiting his
quarters and attempts to pat him on
the neck or head he will Immediately
turn his back on her and sulk in the
corner Of his stall until she is out of
sight.
'He exhibited that trait in more
pronounced way ut Savannah last fall
than ever before" said Mr.. Ketcham.
''You know how quiet he always is
stands like a ploWhOrse, and all that
sort Of thing? You should have seen
him when the lady visitors were
around. He displayed 81 dislike for
them in every way imaginable, laid
back his ears and acted in a most I'M
amiable manner. He doesn't mind
how many men there are about, but
he has taken a most uneXpIajnable dis
like to the fair sex, and shall have
to try to teach him better manners"

BIG BOOM UN
IN BUILDING
Many New Residences to Be
Erected This Season.
CONTRACTORS ARE BUSY
Belief That Material viii Advance
in Price Rather Than Decline
Prompts People to Build.

There is said to be more building
and more preparation for building
in Lancaster and vicinity at the
present time than in several years
past. After making investigation
prospective builders have become
convinced that materials, which are
now higher than ever, will in all
probability, not be any lower in
years, but may go higher if any
thing. With this opinion in view
many who have thought of building
in seasons past have concluded to
carry out plans and erect homes of
their own.
Among the numerous new
structures for which plans have been
drawn, and a part of which are al
ready under course of construction,
have been noted the following in
Lancaster:
Residence on North Adams street
for Mrs. M. Shoemaker, room, 2
story cottage to cost ST., 200.
Residence for Geo. Angus corner
South Adams and Cherry, s room,
2 story cottage. Estimated cost ST., :
800.
Residence for Dr.. S. w. Doolittle
ON North Madison.1to be one of the
finest modern structures in the city.
Estimated cost $1,000.
Residence in fourth ward for
Fred Pagenkopf, 7-room, to cost
50, 00O.
John Henkel is building an 9room
residence in the fourth ward to cost
50, 500.
John Decker has let the plans for
the construction of a 7-room cottage
in the first ward to cost 81, 200.
Henry Zenz is building a residence
in the fourth ward to cost about 81,
200.

Some Timely Advice.

The following points relative to
corn planting season are very APP
propriate just at this time:
It is important that we should de-
pend on home grown seed for the
main part of the crop and not upon
imported seed.
We should select ears of corn for
seed which have kernels of as near
ly uniform size and shape as possible,
otherwise it would be Impossible
to secure an even stand with
any planter.
Do not fail to test the planter
thoroughly with the seed you intend
to use and stay with it until it drops
regularly the number Of kernels re-
quired in each hill.
Test the vitality or terminating
power Of all corn intended for seed.
This is especially important this
year.
