TROUBLE AT CUBA CITY.
Cuba City Saloons Closed Sunday and
Owners Retaliate.

The women of Cuba City for some
time past have been agitating the
question of closing the saloons on
Sunday, and last week, after having
gone about the city and securing a
large number of signatures to
petition in favor of closing the
saloons on the Sabbath, they present
ed 1t to the village board, who spent
some time In considering it and then
took vote on it, which resulted
in tie, three to three. After
further consideration another vote
was taken and the proposition to
close the saloons on Sunday was
carried by vote of four to two.
When the action of the board be-
came known to the saloon men and
their friends it not only caused
sensation but aroused Indignation
on their part, and a gentleman who
came over from Cuba City Thurs
day says that the action of the
board is still the reigning sensation.
| It has been the custom of the
three saloonkeepers of Cuba City for
years past to provide sheds where
farmers and others could drive in
and find shelter for and leave their
teams while in town. This has been
great accommodation for those
who used the sheds but now, in
order to retaliate, the saloonkeep ers
have roped off their yards in order
to prevent the use of the sheds.
There is great indignation and it is
understood that an effort will be
made to induce the board to rescind
its action. The women, however,
say that they do not believe the
board will go back on it's action,
and they say that, if it should,
there will be moro trouble.

Cooperation of Normal Schools and Uni
verSity.

A new arrangement has been
made between the Wisconsin nor
NAL schools and the university of
Wisconsin, which is regarded as of
great Importance, since it unites as
closely as possible the higher educa-
tional institutions supported by the
state. In accordance with the new
plan, graduates of the normal
schools will receive one years
credit towards the degree of
bachelor of arts at the university,
and those graduates who select
their studies in the normal school
with special reference to entering
the university, will receive credit
for year and a half towards that
degree. A special course for nor
NAL school graduates replaces the
present philosophy course, and by
accrediting foreign language study
done in the normal schools, and by
reducing the amount of philosophy
and education required for the
course, the university makes it
possible for normal school graduates
to obtain the degree of bachelor of
philosophy in this course after two
years work at the university.

"paddle her own canoe" Mrs. Hyde
was one of the most democratic of
women-ever ready to speak and to
extend the glad hand to rich or poor,
high or low, and it mattered not
whether it were in the privacy of her
own home or upon the highway she
was ever the same. Her nature and
disposition was particularly free from
hypocrisy, and for this reason she
counted her friends not from one class
but from all classes. Many are the
worthy poor of times past that have
much to be grateful for by reason of
her kindness of heart and liberality of
hand. None ever sought aid from her
but they got it, however small her
store, and had she been endowed with
material riches her munificence would
have kept consistent pace.
She was left at the time of her hus-
bands death, which occurred March
16, 1864, with family of five small
children to care for with only small
fortune to rely upon. She lost twin
only few days after her husbands
death. Those living to mourn her
death are: Helen A., wife of Chas. A.
Cox, George B. Hyde, Ct this city,
Charles S. Hyde, who is at present
studying in the university at Leipsig,
Germany, and Edward H. Hyde, who
has been living most of the time since
his boyhood with his mother under
the parental roof. Her death came
easily after an illness lasting but a
few weeks. She was never so i'll that
she was not able to sit up either in
bed or in chair to take such nourish-
ment as she was able to stand and re-
lish. Not until the morning of the
18th did she show pronounced signs
of the approaching end. Thus came
to close life that was dedicated to
unfinching fidelity and duty. with a
long record of self-sacrificing effort
for the comfort and welfare of others.
No detail was so trivial, no effort so
great that she did not undertake
their performance if she saw clearly
that she could tighten somebody's
burden, bring sunshine into somebody's
heart. Her life was shining example
of that grand biblical maxim, "Tis
more blessed to give than to receive"
The funeral ceremonies were begun
at her late home under the auspices
of the Eastern Star lodge of which
the deceased was an honorary mem
Der and in which she was fondly called

Women Can Vote.

Women in Wisconsin will have
an opportunity to exercise the right
of suffrage this spring. They may
vote for state and county superin-
tendents if they go to the polls and
convince the election officers that
they are qualified to vote by rea-
son of being 81 years of age or
older; that they are not under
guardianship; that they have never
been convicted of felony, and have
lived IN the state one year and in
the election precinct ten days prior
to the election.

The second semester of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin opened with an
increase in attendance of 70. OF
those so are new students, and %
are former students who have re-
turned to continue and complete
their studies. The most marked
increase is in the graduate school
where twelve new students have
entered, making the total enroll
ment of the graduate school 143,
against lis last year, an increase of
%, or over Is per cent. Five of
these new graduate students are
graduates Of the University of Wis
consin, and one each of Cornell
University, Western Reserve Uni
versity, Ohio State University, Uni
versity of California, University OF
Missouri, Cornell College, and the
University Of Gottingen. Fifteen
of the new students are freshmen,
ten adult specials, eight juniors,
four specials, and one junior law.

Lloyd Hillary, son of Metcalf
Hillary Of Beetown, passed away
Friday after an illness of several
months, aged about ten years.
Deceased was bright, Industrious
youth and the fond parents are
nearly heartbroken over his untime-
ly demise. Funeral services were
held Sunday, conducted by Rev.
Jamison.
There has been number Of
changes in city property during
the past few weeks and others are
in contemplation. The demands
for houses to rent is greater than
the supply and this condition Of
affairs will doubtless continue as
there seems to be little disposition
on the part of capitalists to in
vest in residence buildings and pro-
perty.
People coming from the potato
country IN the northern part OF
Wisconsin report that thousands of
bushels of potatoes are going to rot
this spring because of the price be-
ing so low that farmers who are
holding them IN store cannot afford
to market them. At present the
price is 13 cents bushel and the
roads are in such a condition that it
is practically impossible to haul
loads.
A letter received by the Herald
yesterday from w. j. Weir, written

states that Charley completely sur
prised all his friends down there by
taking this step on the 10th. Mr..
Mccoy is a young man possessing
many excellent qualities and holds

WOMEN MAY VOTE.
Ballots Especially for Their Use to be
in Readiness April 4th.


One of those rare opportunities
for women to vote at a public cleo
ton will be presented at the coming
election, to be held throughout the
state on Tuesday, April 4th.
The women of Grant county who
have qualified, and mosI of them
residing in the city were registered
last fall, in common with women
throughout the state, will have the
privilege of voting for state and
county superintendent of schools.
On account of the school officers
being elected in the spring instead
of at the general fall election, as
was the case in former years, it is
expected that the women of this
county will take a more active and
more general interest in the cleo
ton this year than they have done
in other years.
County Clerk Tufiey has been in
structed by the secretary of state to
have printed and furnished for
every polling place in the county a
separate ballot for the use OF
women who desire to vote.
When the male voter enters the
polling place on next election the
ballot clerk will hand him a con-
fusing number of ballots. He will
receive one ballot containing the
names of candidates nominated for
municipal Offices. Another and en-
tirely separate ballot will be used
for the judicial election and in adj
dition there will be the school
ballot, also IN separate form. This
will necessitate four ballot boxes.
In a communication to County Clerk
Tufiey the secretary of state says
the instruction to have four separ-
ate ballots printed is in accordance
with the opinion Of Attorney Gen
eral Sturdevant in constituting the
present laws covering the subject.

The weather man has given a
varied assortment of weather the
past few days. A little rain, little
snow and a little freezing weather
just to relieve the monotony.
During the rain storm Friday
night one of the electric light wires
between the Wright house and
Nathan's corner was burned in two
by coming in contact with another
wire and for time the sidewalk
between these corners presented a
rather novel appearance. Sparks
shot from the wires until the cur
rent was turned off at the plant
which left all places connected with
this circuit in darkness.
Albert Roth, Galena miner
met accidental death in the Hoskin
mine near Hazel Green last Thurs
day. A piece of ore fell upon his
head killing him instantly. De-
ceased was single man, aged
about 35 years, and a brother of
August Roth, the well known
travelling representative of the
Vincent marble works of Galena,
who frequently visits Lancaster.
The home business man who
sends away for goods kept by his
brother business man, in order to
save few cents, has no cause to
complain when his farmer friend
sends to the catalogue houses for
the kind of goods he carries, yet he
will do SO every time. A little
investigation will reveal several
such cases in every town. The
business men must stand up for
their own interests before they can
expect others to do so.
A farmer had a dream. He
dreamed that he had raised a thou
sand bushels of wheat and he was
happy over the fact. Then he dream
ed that he sold it for 81 a bushel, and
his happiness was great. But he
dreamed now that he had sold it to
a thousand different people,
bushel to each one, and that no.
body had paid him and he was sad.
When he awoke it was broad day
light, and leaplng out of bed he ex-
claimed to his wife: ''Rebecca, l
have had solemn warning and I
know the meaning of it. I am going
right off to town and pay the
printer the dollar owe him on the
paper"
-Thos. Walker, an old and high
ly respected resident of Patch
Grove, died at that place Saturday,
aged 90 years. Deceased was born
in Ireland in 1903, and came to
America in 1922. Was married
to Miss Eliza Patterson in Keiths-
burg, Illinois IN 1S49, and together
they came to Lancaster in 1850,
where they resided until 1862 when
they removed to Patch GROVE.
Two children were born to them,
son and daughter, both of whom
survive. His wife preceded him to
the great beyond ten years ago.
Funeral services were held at Patch
Grove Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock
and interment took place in the
Patch Grove cemetery.

GIRLS GET
IN ARMS

cause OF the faculty's refusal to rescind

The petition was an unpleasant surprise
IN the faculty. which gave the matter

Among the faculty's reasons why lights

abolition OF the rule would not be
a factor IN self-control or determination
among the students; that the pairing OF
the girls in dormitories makes a hard
and fast rule necessary in order 10 pre-
serve the rights df the individual. and
that the change would be inconsistent
with the rules OF the institution which
has additionally guarded against over
doing in any line.
