LENT COMES EARLY.
First Day of Lent is Wednesday
February II.

The Lenten season begins I'M
usually early this year. February
18th will be Ash Wednesday, and
Easter Sunday comes on April 3D..
The date Of good Friday this year
is April i. The remainder Of the
movable feasts rest with Easter
which is always the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day of the
calendar moon, which day falls on
or next after the Dist of March,
according to the rules laid down
for the construction of the calendar.
The early date of Easter will nc
doubt in a measure detract from
the popularity of the Easter bonnet
as the season will not be sufficient
ly advanced to warrant the wearing
of summer head-gear.
The following table of the holi-
days and feast days of the year,

ance, and the days of the week

from the South African war in
1901, found her married to Mr..
Barrett. She pleads however, that
she had not committed bigamy, as
both marriages were void, as Mr..
Redhead was living and the decree
had not become absolute. The
complications were aggravated by
Florence's mother, who, thinking
that Redhead was dead, married
his father Thus when Redhead
appeared on the scene he found
that his father was his father-in
law, his mother was his stepmother
ard his wife his stepsister, while
two other men had been married
to his wife.

How old is Ann?
One thing is certain, and that is,
she is much older than when the
American public tried to decipher
her age.
But that problem is easy, when
one attempts to figure out the
marriage relationships of Florence
Redhead of London.
The question to be determined
whose wife is she.
She is % and charming. She
must be charming, for she has been
married seven times.
She is also unfortunate for she
has been remanded to trial on the
charge of blgamy.
Three of Florence's marriages
and one of her mothers will suffici-
emily indicate the complications.
Prior to 1897 Florence married a

Mckinley Day to be Observed.

''The Carnation League of
America, instituted as an annual
memorial to the late President
William Mckinley and dedicated
to national patriotism, is fixed

observance of Jan. 90, the ami
versary of his birth, as Mckinley
Day" To wear the late presidents
favorite flower, the carnation, in
the lapel of the coat, in the ha If
or at the throat, in silent memory
Of a departed public servant, is
what is contemplated by this move
ment in which the young and old
of both sexes can have a part.
The custom was first observed
on Jan. 80, 1908, with the greatest
unanlmity throughout the country,
and by Americans all over the
world. 1t is simple, inexpensive
act and full of patriotic sentiment,
All through Mr.. McKinleys life,
both public and private, there ran
a distinct vein of sentiment, and a
memorial of this sort is, therefore,
peculiarly appropriate to him.
The custom will be observed it
is expected, the coming 29th day
of January, more universally if
that is possible, than on the initial
day, year ago, and Mr.. Lewis G.
Reynolds, of Dayton, Ohio, who
suggested the idea, has received
letters of the most unqualified APP
proyal from Americans everywhere.

that the marshal's office may be

poses only, and the time that both
of these rooms can be SO used is
limited to completion of the new
courthouse; further, that it shall be
the duty of the marshal to see that
this resolution is strictly lived up to.
A bill of $125 was presented for
work in cleaning the marshal's
room after the holding Of Justice
Wheelers court, and the question
arose as to who should pay the bill.
1t was finally ordered to be paid
from the city treasury.
There being no further business,

TO HAVE A SYSTEM.
Congressman BabcOck's Efforts Meet
With Success.

The Herald received dispatch
from Congressman Babcock Mon
day announcing that Postmaster
General Payne had signed an order
establishing a county system of
rural free delivery for Grant
county.
The case was presented to the
postmaster general by Congressman
Babcock and after considering the
great good the rural system has
done to other counties in the state
situated similarly to our own Mr..
Payne sided with our congressman
in his views and attached his name
to the order.
Men experienced in laying out
county systems will be sent here to
map out the best routes and the
territory they will cover. This will
probably take two months. Then
examinations for carriers will take
place.
AT least twenty new routes Will
be established and practically every
farmer in the county will enjoy the
service
The undivided interest Congress-
man Babcock has always taken in
his rural constituents is again man
Tested by this recent movement he
fathered for Grant county farmers.

A special meeting of the common
council of the city of Lancaster was
held at the council chamber Jan. Is,
1904, all members being present.
The meeting was called by the
mayor for purpose of hearing and
considering report Of committee ap-
pointed at the last regular meeting
to inspect halls and places OF public
assemblage in this city and ascer-
tain as to their condition in case of
fires and panics.
Aid. Place reported that the COM
mittee had made an examination of
Reeds opera house and the City
opera house; that both we're found
to be deficient, and that the com
mittee had counseled with the city
attorney and caused an ordinance
to be drawn which would cover
points in question, providing proper
safeguards to prevent calamity.
The proposed law, entitled AN
ordinance to regulate the use of any
hall, theatre, opera house, church,
or building to be used for the assem-
blage of people, ETC., was read and
motion made to adopt. The mayor
stated that there were two engage
7nents under management of the
lecture course yet to be had, and
the same not coming strictly
under the head of theatrical per
formances, and owing also to the
fact that the lecture course manage
ment were already behind expenses
suggested that these events be eX-
Guided from the provisions of the
ordinance and be allowed to be held
The aldermen observed the wisdom
of the suggestion and acquiesced.
The ordinance as published ofic
tally on another page of this issue
was placed upon passage. All the
aldermen voted aye and it was de
clared adopted.
The mayor appointed AL Bud
worth chief of the fire department.
which upon motion was confirmed
by the council.
The following resolution and or
der was presented, and upon motion
adopted. Resolved and ordered
that the lower rooms of the city

announced that Madam Severn

if she was to be held up as pattern
for other speakers it would be a
waist of words. | was right on
the skirts of the crowd, and was
trying to edge in and there was a
terrible hustle all about me- and
then Madam Severn got up and
exclaimed that she could trim any
one who chose to debate with her,
and all the time the other woman
was inserting a word or two as she
could, but anybody could see she
deserved a basting and that she
was going to get it, but l missed the
best part of it.
Why; couldn't you hear all that
was said?"

RURAL ROUTE RULINGS.
Mail Boxes Cannot be Used for Sign
Boards.

1.-The following will be interesting
to patrons of rural mail routes: "A
custom of farmers along rural
routes in using the rural mail boxes
as a medium for advertising their
sales is to be headed off by the
post-office department, and a warn
inc has been issued that parties
will be prosecuted for an infraction
of the laws if the rural mail boxes
are used as repository for sale
bills or any other medium of COM
munication, unless proper stamps
are affixed. The department takes
the position that the rural mail
boxes az" as much for private use
as are the individual boxes at a
post office, and must be treated in
the same manner, SO that any
violation of the rules Of the de-
partment will be punished as
provided by law" We also notice
the following in regard to the
maintenance of good roads: ''The
post office departments interests
in the matter Of good roads where
traversed by rural mail carriers
has just been made manifest
through an order received at post

the sensation which is felt as the car
on this new railroad climbs up, up, up,
over 1000 feet above sea level, only
that the elevator is incased in steel
shaft and the feeling that it may at
any moment leap off into space, such
as is experienced on this new Tyrolese
line, is lost. The slope of the steepest
portion of this line is 1850 feet long
and in it's circling of the mountain it

The famous cog railroad to Pixies

crowded out of the place of honor and
distinction by the railroad which has
just been opened up in the Tyrolese
Alps. It runs almost straight up the
steep mountain side through hitherto
almost inaccessible, but wildly beauti-
full and picturesque scenery. Thus is

bold daring gaining the heights which
nature has piled up, crag upon crag,

still teaching, unsupported by the
child; he is taught fair play, muscular
endurance, time, rhythm. In the
schools the play element Is more
prominent than in winter. The idea
is to attract the children. to make
them feel that the school is their
neighborhood home. MANUAL training
Is to many of them the most potent
lure to the doors of the big school
house. The genius for making things
is as insistent in the little Italian
child in New York as it was in the
children who play with Michelangelc
in Italy.
Great is heredity They will tell
you in those East side schools where
all the nations Of the earth meet upon
the common basis Of future American
citizenship, that italian boys are most
skillful in handiwork. the best gar
deners and there are school gardens
even here-the most rich in untutored
taste; that the Jewish boys are the
best students. the keenest intellectu
ally, descended often as they are from
generations of rabbis, while the com.
paratively few remaining Irish boys
are the politicians Of the schools and
run things. They will tell you, too,
that three centuries Of struggle against
England have made the typical Irish
man politician, just as centuries Of
oppression have left to the Jew few
activities except intellectual ones.
You can see the working OF these
processes to this day in New York. In
the graduating class Of the College Of
the City OF New York, the summit Of
the public school system, three-fourths
of the members are Jews and practi-
cally all the honor winners; while Of
the young women of the Normal college
a disproportionate number are He
brews.

scholars are in a minority, and scarce
