Big Crop Of Snakes.

Nine thousand four hundred
rattle snakes have been killed in
Crawford county since a bounty
was put on them two years ago,
which has cost the taxpayers nearly
1000 and yet there is no apparent
sign of the reptiles being thinned
out. In fact the bounties paid up
to the present time this year show
a decided increase over last year by
so per cent. The enormous increase
during the last half of 1908, which
was nearly double that of the first,
half is due to the fact that the
snake hunters had learned that it
was easier to catch the reptiles
when they were gathering in their
dens. This together with the fact
that the continual high water
keeps the snakes of all descriptions
off the islands, leads the hunters to
believe they will capture more this
fall than last. Crawford and Vernon
are the only two counties in the
state chat pay bounty on rattlers,
which is fifty cents each.

LIVINGSTON ELECTED.
Will Succeed Duncan McGregor as
President of Plattevilte Normal.

Prof. John w. Livingston, insti-
tute conductor of the state normal
school at Stevens Point for the past
seven years, was on Friday elected
by the state board of normal school
regents as president of the state
normal at Platteville, to succeed
Prof. Duncan McGregor, who re-
signed because Of his advanced age.
The only other candidate present
ed for the position was Prof. O. y.
Schuster, institute conductor of the
Plattev1lle school. The first ballot
resulted in six votes for Prof.
Livingston and five for Prof Schu-
ster. The latter's name was then
withdrawn, and the election of
Prof. Livingston made unanimous.
The salary remains the same as
President McGregor received SO, 900
a year.
Prof. Livingston was born and
reared in Grant County, and gradu-
ated from the Platteville normal
school in the class Of 1878. After
graduation he taught in the Dodge
vile high schol for eight years, and
then in the Sparta high school for
six years, going from Sparta to his
present position in the Stevens Point
normal school seven years ago.
His wife is also a graduate of the
Platteville normal school, and after
graduating taught in one of it's
departments two years. He is ex-
ceedingly popular in educational
circles.

Thanks Not Expected.

The man who handles the local
department of a newspaper learns
after due experience not to expect
very many thanks for a column of
pleasant things, but he knows as
surely as come the seasons that a
single line in which there is some
unintentional mistake will cause
some one to be heard. Also that
when he has made pleasant men
ton 999 times of some person, place,
or thing, but on the 1000th time
fails to do SO he must not expect to
be forgiven. The omissions may
have been from accident, inadvert-
ence or even an entire lack of
knowledge 1t matters not. That
simple fact remains that he will be
judged on that. He may say good
things about some business man for
weeks, but let him make some mis-
take and the good things said are
forgotten and that mans business
is denied him.

A BIG FIRE AT
ROCKVILLE
NN~rNN1rrN>SNS

The village of Rockville, eight
miles south of this city, on the
Potosi road, experienced a de
structive fire on Monday evening,
when the two saloon buildings of
w. G. White and Kjrkenbush Bros.
were burned to the ground.
The fire was discovered by Livery
man Thompson of this city, who
was returning from a trip to Potosi.
While driving through the village
about 1890 he saw the light in the
second story window and quickly
gave the alarm. Upon investiga-
ton it was discovered that the
fire was too far gone to check, with
the limited means at hand, and so
all hands went to work saving the
stock and furniture, which was
successfully accomplished.
The fire spread with great rap
idity, and soon both buildings were
enveloped in flames, which quickly
consumed the lnf1ammable material
of which they were constructed.
Both buildings were two story
frame structures, and the loss on
each is estimated at about 5000.
Each building was insured for 5000
in the German Insurance company
of Freeport, Illinois.
So far as heard from the origin
Of the fire is unknown, and no
theory has been advanced for the
cause of the confagration, which
was the most destructive in che
history of that community.
We have not learned, as yet,
whether or not the losers intend to
replace the ruined structures.

Lightning.

That most people are afraid of
lightning is a matter of common
observation. This fear differs in
degree from that of wild terror
to a mere precaution not to expose
oneself to danger which is always
sensible.
At any day we may be visited by
the usual summer thunder
showers, and so few ordinary
hints in regard to the same are
seasonable. Excellent authorities
agree that in a severe thunder
storm the middle of the room is
much the safest place in a house.
A carpeted floor or thick rug is
better to stand on than the bare
wood. 1t is well to keep away
from chimneys and out of cellars.
In the open air tall trees are
dangerous. A person sheltered
under a low tree or shrub, thirty or
forty feet from a large and lofty
tree, is quite safe. If lightning
strikes in the immediate vicinity it
will hit the high tree, as a rule,
with few exceptions. Water is a
very good conductor and it is well
to avoid the banks of streams in a
violent thunderstorm. In proper
ton to population, very few people
are killed by lightning, and strange
to say, the city is the safest place,
as there are SO many things to at
tract the electric bolt that no one
will be killed unless he courts
danger by sitting by telegraph pole
or stands on a railroad track. With
reasonable precaution no one should
be unduly scared at lightning
flash.

Strawberry Crop Immense.

There's no strawberry famine in
Lancaster this season, every little
patch of this fruit yielding with
abundance.
The big raisers have a bountiful
supply of the product and are sup
plying patrons with the best ber-
ries seen here in years, for 10 cents
per quart or less. The housekeep.
ers are busily engaged in putting
up" the fruit for winter use, and
thousands Of quarts are being han
died in this manner in addition to
the large quantity for table use.
Anton Schmitt has the largest
crop of berries in this section and
could supply city twice the size of
Lancaster.
"A. J. Howell has productive
patch and is supplying large num-
Der of patrons.
There are numerous others mar
keting the fruit also.

Grin and Bear It.

When it is ninety in the shade
and men are. dropping by the way,
don't kick as though it were your
trade; hot weather is not here to stay
and do not ever be afraid but that it
will be cool some day.
You wouldn't like to go around
on snowshoes gliding all the year
and have to stamp your feet and
pound and always sport a frozen
ear. A country like that can be
found if you don't like the climate
here.
We need little spell Of heat to
have the corn crop nicely made;
we would be shy Of things to eat
without a harvest, we're afraid.
To make life happy and complete
we need to have thesfarmers' trade.
Our summer girl would not be
here if it were never ninety-two;
she would not on the street appear
in most alluring peak-a- boo and
other natty running gear if winter
ran the whole year through.
Of course, we'd give the iceman
then a minus deal instead of plus
and tell him to go grazing when
he came around to make a fuss;
we'd mock his sufferings-but
again, what would the goldman do
to us?
So let us take the sun and shade,
the breezes and the summer heat
and with our fans and lemonade
say, Really, isn't this a treat" for
summer soon will strike the grade
and winter'll be here with both
feet.
