HOTEL CHANGE.

Lancaster House.

Henry johnson of Cavalier, n.
D., sold the Lancaster house
Wednesday to A. J. Guernsey, con-

Mr.. Guernsey has leased the well
known hostelry to "Fon" Moore OF
Platteville, who will assume man
agement of the same next week.

medical college.
There was some queer voting
Some had the scratching
fever and scratched right and left.
The most amusing was Prohibi-
ton ballot. When the voter had
voted the entire ticket except gov
ernor he got it in his head that
Peck was pretty good ''prohi," so
he voted for him. That ballot
should have been kept for framing
purposes. Another voted the SEQ
field ticket. He baked when he
came across Gustave Wollanger and
voted for Kempf, the LaFollette
candidate. He surely wanted to
rub it into the governor all he
could.
Tie vote here was a little short of
what it was four years ago. Sew
eral did not get to the polls. There
were 1874 votes cast Four of these
were thrown out so we actually had
100. Roosevelt got 1O2 and Parker
40; LaFollette 101, Peck 81; Bah
cock So and Grotophorst SO. Glenn
and Kopp received the largest vote
on the county ticket, Glenn receiv-
ing 107 and Kopp 102. The right
kind of men always receive q good
Endorsement at the polls in Patch
Grove.

Canvassing Board Meets.

The board of county canvassers of
Grant County met yesterday after
noon to open the returns which
were sent in from the various pre-
cincts in the county. These re-
turns contain the official figures of
the election as complied by the in
spectors Of the several precincts,
and are used by the county clerk in
making out his certified statement
to the secretary of state. E. Fl.
Grifis, E. B. Goodsell and r.
Meyer Jr. comprise the canvassing
board this year. Little was done
except to open the returns and
search for defective or informal
ones, of which many were found.
These defective and informal re-
turns are sent back to the inspec-
tors of the precincts from which
they came by special messenger,
who waits for their correction or
completion as the case may be.
After the corrected returns are all
in, the board again meets and the
official count is made.
For the purpose of gratifying
their own curiosity, the board made
calculation Of the vote cast for
Babcock and Grotophorst and for
Mccoy and 1uff1ey. The figures
from every precinct in the county
were added, and the result gave
TufHey majority OF 803, and the
Grant County plurality for Groto-
phorst 265. This count is not
official, but very little change will
be made in it. The board will
probably not meet again until after
the session of the county board of
supervisors, which will require all
of the time of Mr. Meyer and County
Clerk Griffis.

Washington. There are seventeen
grandchildren.
Mr.. Lewis had the presence
of one brother and Mrs. Lewis OF
two brothers, at the celebration
Friday.
The wedding of William Lewis
and Catherine Ryan took place at
Prairie du Chen. The couple drove
from Patch Grove in company with
John Ryan, brother of the bride,
and Miss Margaret Sheedy (now
Mrs. Alfred Brunson, Of Sibly,
Iowa. to the Wisconsin River.
where they were ferried across and
taken to Prairie du Chen. The
banns had been published in the
Catholic Church atPrairie du Chen.
The Reverend Father Lucien Galcia
performed the ceremony, on Nov
ember II, 1854. The bride wore a
wedding dress that she had made
with her own hands of white null
embroidered in ]avendar. This
dress she has preserved and it was
worn during the celebration on
Friday by her granddaughter, Miss
Catherine Donnelly, of Blooming
ton.
The next day after the wedding
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis drove back to
Patch Grove. A week after their
return they went to housekeeping
on farm that the groom had pur-
chased of his brother. They lived
on this farm ten years and then
moved to another farm where they
lived continuously until they re-
tired and came to Lancaster to live,

men in Lancaster at the present
time, came west The two families
came to Cassville, going down the
OHIO and up the Mississippi by
steamer The Ryan family lived at
Cassville some time, and then went
into Iowa. Here the father died
and the family returned to Glass;
vile. Miss Ryan entered the
school there. The family later
moved to Blake's Prairie and three
the acquaintance was formed be-
tween Mr.. Lewis and Miss Ryan
that resulted in their marriage.
Two brothers, James Ryan and
William Ryan OF North Andover,
and Mrs. Lewis, are the only mem
bers of her family living.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis are to
be congratulated for their long life
of usefulness. Not many couples
attain their age with all the pleas
ure and satisfaction in life that has
been their lot. Their sons and
daughters are all beloved by their
parents, and are in turn loving and
reverent sons and daughters. The
Lewis home has truly been blessed
and it will perhaps be many years
yet before the home ties will be
sundered. Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis are
not decrepit, they have many years
of contentment still before them.
And during their lives they will
have all the loving care of their
children and grandchildren. Their
fiftieth wedding anniversary was
indeed cause for much rejoicing,
and was an event to be celebrated.

Yesterday was a day long tO-be
remembered in the annals Of the
family of William Lewis, the oc-
casion being the 50th wedding an
niversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis.
Plans for a befitting observance of
the day were laid many months ago
and the climax yesterday saw every
cherished detail carried out to a
dot. To say the ceremonies were
enjoyable is putting it mildly and
it is difficult to state whether the
aged couple, their children or grand
children entered into the festival
with the greatest spirit.
Of the three daughters and seven
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis living
all were present with their families
excepting two sons, Frank and l..
L., who are in Alaska.
Just before Frank Lewis and
Luther Lewis left for the Klondike
in 1898 the family group accom-
panying this article was made. At
that time all the sons and daugh-
tiers of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis were
living. A couple of years later one
son died. His death has been the
only one in family so far. The chill
dren are, in the order of their ages.

NEW CURE FOR LEPRosY.
A Physician Has Discovered Bacillus
Which Is Proving Successful.

New York. July 1S.--Captain e, r.
Rost of the Indian medical service has
succeeded in cultivating the bacillus
of leprosy, according to dispatches
from Rangoon, Burmah. says Times
dispatch from London. He has made
a substance from the culture which he
calls leprolin and which, when injected
into lepers. has marked beneficial ac-
tion, alleviating the symptoms OF the
disease.
The method of growing the bacillus
is to extract the salts from the nutrient
media and Captain Rost has discov-
cred that the bacillus viii not grow
in the presence OF salt. In order to
make such nutrient media he distills
beef extract soaked in pumice stone in
a current of superheated steam and
obtains a medium in which the bacil-
lus Of leporsy and also that Of tuber-
culosis grows with the greatest east.
over 100 cases Of leprosy are be-
ing treated in Burmah by injections
Of this substance. ana the treatment
is also being tried in 30 places in
India. Already four cases have been re-
ported cured and in the great majority
those under treatment, the improve
ment is said to be marked.

TACTICAL CRISIS REACHED
Newspaper Men Who Have Arr

BE Fought.

victoria, B. c., July is.-William
Kirton. war correspondent for the Gen.
tral News and London Graphic, mill
itary critic Of considerable note, ar
rived here on the Canadian Pacific
Railroad steamship Empress of India,
He claims that the real reason for
the refusal of the Japanese to allow
any war correspondent to go to the
front was the fact that number OF
irresponsible and sensational Ameri-
can newspaper reporters" who knew
nothing about war or the duties Of a
war correspondent had been sent out
by individual newspapers and that the
Japanese included not only these per-
sons in the ban Of prohibition but also,
on their account, the trained and vet
eran correspondents. Kirton says his
statements are based ON information
impaired to him by responsible jap
anese officials, civil and military.
]. Sheldon williams. special war
artist of the London Sphere. also re-
turned from Toxic on the Empress,
He declares that it is hopeless for
correspondents Of individual newspa-
pers to remain in Japan or try to get
to the front. The only men who are
doing the real war reporting, Williams
says, are the representatives Of the
Associated Press of America, who are
scattered all over the war front, and
doing what Mr.. Williams cordially de-
scribes as truly splendid work. 1t is
now understood in Japan that the
tactical crisis Of the war has been
reached. Kuropatkin's decision to fight
or fall back will determine the length
Of the war and men returning to Yo-
kohama from the front just before
the Empress left, expressed no doubt
that Kuropatkin intended to risk ali
in a general engagement on a select
ed battlefield Mr.. Williams says os.

correspondents are preparing to leave
