Patch Grove.

Commencement at Patch Grove was
quite a pleasant entertainment A
full house, good order, stage decora-
tions were fine, and a careful perfor-
nance Of their part by the pupils
made it a pleasing affair. Our COM
mencements are so few and far
apart that some are laboring under
the mistaken idea that this was our
first. T. J. Brooks of Boscobel had
the honor of presenting large num-
Der of diplomas to his pupils at the
close of his year as teacher.
M. o. Hill of Viroqua, had a class Of
graduates to whom DR.. G. L. Corey
presented diplomas. Although that
occurred number of years ago, we
remember the Evolutionary efforts OF
the Misses Ollie Anderson and Effie
Roberts as equal to Jennie O'Neil
Potter's.
The ladies, Misses Ruby Dyer and
Laura Walker, who had charge of the
schools, have given the best of salts
| faction in their work and we hear are
engaged for next year.
r. Collier was called by the sickness
of his brother John, to Minneapolis.
He took the train from Prairie du
Chen Monday, and will probably re-
main week.
Lyman Munson visited Eau Claire
and Chippewa Falls last week.
Mrs. J. G. Scott of Galena after a
week Of visiting with her family
friends, the Pauls and Garsides, re
turned to her home Monday.
Lila Louisignau is visiting her
un,ies family, the Rices, at Clear
Lake, Iowa.
The daughters of Andrew Nelson,
Mary, Gertrude and Lulu, came home

school there, Gertrude was engaged in
teac. ing and Lulu was there to attend
commencement and see the others safe
home.
Mrs. Rachel Robertson, who has
been in Chicago keeping house the
past winter and spring for her son
Arthur, came home last week. Arth-
ur has completed his studies and is

NEW CABINET Is NOTABLE
New King Is Descendant of the Man
Who Freed Servie.

New King Is Descendant of the Man
Who Freed Servis.
A provisional government was ready
to hand after the disposal of the king
and queen, the premier being NJ Ava
kumoyics, who is the best-known jurist
in Servia. NJ. Schiokovics, the new
minister Of justice, sharply criticised
the doings of the royal pair in the
last parliament He was condemned
to twenty years Imprisonment be-
cause of hiscomplicity in plot against
King Milan, but he was pardoned. M
Genshics, the new minister of COM
merce, served two years in prison on
the charge of high treason for his OPP
position to the late King AleXander's
marriage.
The new king is the descendant of
the man who freed Servia from Turk
ish control. Servia, at the beginning
OF the nineteenth century was Turk
ish province and was governed by a
just and humane pasha named Hadji
loved by his Christian subjects, but
the JAM saries did not approve of his
liberal policy or his efforts to protect
the Inhabitants against their extor-
tons and cruelties, and they put him
to death. The Janissaries had their
the people decided to murder every
man who could be considered lead
er. Thousands were massacred. Among
those who escaped was swineherd
named George Petrovitch George, the
son of Peter, better known to history
as Kara (Black) George, because of his
dark complexion and raven hair.
To him Servia owes its independence
from the Turks. Kara George, who
was illiterate and was always CARRIED
as a peasant, was progressive, and in
troduced a free school system, courts
of justice, reduced taxation, and or
ganized the different branches of the
government. The people, however, were
not able to advance at his rapid pace
and his enemies encompassed about
him. In a fit of anger he abdicated
after nine years reign.
When Karageorge, who, besides, be-
ing the founderof the liberal monarchy
in Servia, was the founder of the
Karageorgevitch family, abdicated he
was succeeded on the throne by Milos
Obren, also a peasant, his rival, and
founder of another faction and the
head of the late reigning house Of
Servia. Milos, fearing popular move
ment to restore Karageorge to the
throne, caused him to be assassinated.
Thus began the feud between the de-
scendants of the two men, and the
history of Servia is merely a recital
of the rivalries of the Obrenvitch and
Karag eorgevitch families.

What He Cared For.

General e. f. Jones, long Repub-
lican, but who turned Democrat and
was elected lieutenant governor on the
same ticket with David B. Hill, is re-
ported to be almost blind.
Still known as Zones who pays
the freight" ne passes a greater part
of his time at his home in Bingham
ton, in one Of the room of which there
is large display of arms and military
accOuterments. Another feature is
the picture of a large rooster
emblematic Of a Democratic victory in
which General Jones figured. At re-
cent social assembly at his home were
many Democrats and few RepuDll-
cans, among the latter being Colonei
w. Dunn, chairman of the Republican
state committee. General Jones so
frequently called the attention of
Colonel Dunn to the rooster" that
finally the latter said:
II see it general; | see it all right,
but / prefer to look at those tools you
used to kill Democrats with during the
war."-New York Times.

lands, and has the assistance of
several deputy inspectors. The APP
pointment of Mr.. Taylor was made

man Babcock and Indian Commits
siOner Jones.
Everybody who knows Mr. Taylor
feels that no more fitting man could
be named for a position of such re-
sponsibility and SO liable to be
used" for somebody's benefit. In
times past the management Of In
dian affairs was very bad on many
reservations, but the government
has been appointing men of high
character to manage the business.
Charles Horton of Fennimore is
the new owner of the Lancaster
house, having purchased that we'll
known hostelry from Joseph HI.
Bennett. Mr.. Bennett took over as
a part of the purchase price, $12, 900,
Mr.. Horizons house in the Show
alter addition, known as the Cook
property, and the house known as
the Laabs property near the M. E.
Parsonage.
By this deal Landlord G. II. Ben
nett, son of the former owner, re-
tires from the business, which he
conducted with success.
The deal was negotiated by the
Parker & Armfield Land company
of Fennimore and J. NJ Teasdale of
this city.
The hotel has been leased by Eu-
gene Mcdonald who with his estim-
able wife will use every endeavor to
make the place home-like and popu-
lar with the public. They are
thoroughly renovating and refitting
the place.

While the tragedy was being enact

JOSEPH COVER DIES.
Former Editor of the Herald Passes
Away at Ashland.

JUG SONCL, sui VI q. -. OOVOL O1O
of Grant county's distinguished
pioneers, passed away last Monday
night at his home in Ashland. He
had been in poor health for several
years nervous and stomach trouble
and lately the disease developed
such alarming symptoms that he
sent here for his mother, to go there
and see him, as he had become too
ill to come here. She started Mon
day and he had grown so i'll that a
telegram came that day stating that
he was rapidly failing. When she
arrived there he was dead, and she
telegraphed that information here
to her granddaughter, Mrs. A. G.
Knapp, to make arrangements for
the reception of the body on Thurs
day and funeral yesterday.
Joe Cover was the son of j. c.
Cover, an early editor of the Herald.
whose ability as writer was wide
ly recognized. He was born about
1S49 and passed his boyhood days
in Lancaster, where he learned the
printing business in the Herald Of
fice He early evinced a fine apti-
tude for the business, both as print
er and writer. In 1881 he with
Capt. H. D. Farquharson bought the
Herald, but he remained connected
with it only six months. He then
followed the business of a stenog-
rapher in various parts of the
country, finally securing the posi-
ton of court reporter at Ashland
eight years ago, which he held until
his final illness. He married lady
from Richland Center.
The father J. G. Cover died soon
after the war on the ocean while re-
turning from the Azore Islands
where he was consul, having been
appointed by President Lincoln.
The mother is now more than eighty
years of age, and the loss of the son
is a great affection to her. She has
the sympathy OF the community.
The brothers John, Beach and Frank
are living. One sister, Mrs. Mary
Barber, resides in Florida. The
other sister Mrs Laura Longdon
died in 1892.
Joe Cover was a man Of excep-
tional mental attainments. His
was a pleasing and attractive per
sonality. Had he remained in the
literary work there is no doubt that
he would have accomplished much.
During the last years Of his life
he was SO busy and his health so
frail that his mind seldom had time
to dwell in the realms of fancy;
but occasionally there was a little
flash of the genius only lacking the
touch Of development. These little
essays away from the monotonous
grind of court work found great
favor wherever they reached the
light Of day, and were most fire.
quently expressed in poetry, some
of which found it's way into the
highest class literary journals of
the country.
