Since writing the above we are
advised that Postmaster Johnson

the authorities at Washington
d. c.. regarding the establish
ment of said route. The route is

thorization of the department.

his route at o:3o a. m. and re-
turns with collections not later

soon to receive notification OF
selection of carrier for this route
and said party selected will have
to Immediately submit his bond
to the government authorities
through Mr., johnson. If, for any
reason he fails to do this the rural
carrier examining board will be
asked to certify another carrier
for The position.
After the establishment of R.
I F. D. route No. d has been in
augurated, Star Route No. 49,
277, between Corvallis and Ina
vale, will be discontinued. Ac.
cording to Instructions given by
the department. to the various

WILL sTART MAY is.
Route No. 4. Rural Free DeIiIery.
Soon to be Established.

AS first mentioned in the Ca
zette some time ago, there has
been a movement on Postmaster
Johnson's part for some time to
get an R. F. D. route established
between this city and Bellfoun-
tain. From dispatch in Fri
days Oregonian, it seems that
Mr.. johnson is to be granted
that for which he has labored so
strenuously on behalf of the
people. The. dispatch referred
to is from Washington, D. c.,
and reads as follows:
''Rural free delivery route No.
d has been ordered established
by May IS at Corvallis, Benton
County, Or, serving 400 people
and 90 houses.
The route is from this city to
Bruce, on the state road, some
ten or twelve miles south of this
city, thence south and west to
Bellfountain, thence north to
Inavale, thence east to the state
read and then north to Corvallis.
1t is supposed that the route will
be established at once. This
will prove great convenience to
the people of that section of our
county and is one more spoke in
our wheel, which is getting larg.
er all the time, and which rolls
in the direction of improvement
and. general progress, first, las1
and eternally.

It is worth while to ask Mr.. Ham

The ladies of the Catholic church
feel grateful for the patronage

their fair last Thursday. Every

The ladies will clear 1884. They
are well satisfied and surely they
should be. They will now be en-
abled to do many things toward
improving the church, inside and

tower is being erected by McHenry

This basement will be used for din
ing room and for many other
purposes. The interior is neatly
finished in hardwoods, beautifully
oiled and decorated. The acoustic
properties of the room are splendid,
an ordinary voice being heard in
the remotest corners. the building
is lighted throughout by a large
acetylene plant put in by Webb &
Son, of Lancaster.
The Baptist society Of Blooming
ton has only about twenty members.
but they include some Of the best
and wealthiest people of that COM
munity, to whom great praise is due
for erecting so substantial church
building. The work throughout
was successfully prosecuted by the
few, energetically led on by the able
and popular pastor, Rev. Fl. E..
Fuller, and his estimable wife.
May the society grow IN grace
and numbers and long enjoy the
new building.

BOLD BURGLARS.
Attempt to Blow Klindt- Geiger Safe
at CaSSville Failure.

Burglars attempted to obtain en-
trance to the safe in Klindt- Geiger's
store at Cassville Wednesday night.
They entered Kleinpell's hardware
store first, where revolvers, powder
and several tools we're secured,
then proceeded to the other es-
Enlistment.
A pane of glass was removed
from window and entrance gained.
The burglars first went to the upper
rooms of the store where an en-
ploye usually sleeps but on this oc-
cas1on he was absent. The motive
was evidently to force the clerk to
open the safe or kill him if he OBJ
jected.
Finding the employee absent the
culprits attempted to blow the safe.
They drilled it in several places in
serted powder and ignited the
charge, but the explosion was un-
successful. The loud discharge
must have frightened the thieves,
for they took departure without
continuing the conquest for spoils.
Several burglaries are reported to
have taken place at Prairie du
CHEN the same night Sheriff Glenn
and Under Sheriff Calls were
promptly notified Of the Cassville
trouble and fastened there. No
clue to the identity of the guilty
parties was discovered. The sheriff
proceeded to Lacrosse in hopes of
landing the night marauders.

Obituary-Bryhan.

The following sketch of the late
Fred Bryhan was given the Her
aid for publication first of the week
but was crowded out of Wednes-
days edition.
Fredric Geo. Bryhan was born
the 21st day Of August, 1856, in Alt
walmoden, Hanover, Germany.
Came to America in infancy with
his parents, Christian and Louise
Bryhan. In 1880, after a course of
religious instruction, he was con-
firmed in this church. He was a
kind and obedient son to his par.
ents. 'Thou shall honor thy faith
or and thy MOTHER" was constantly
practiced as long as he lived. He
was married the 18th of March, 1882.
to Marguerite Wagner, in whom he
found a true helpmate. The union
was blessed with four children
two daughters and two sons. After
marriage he became member of
the Evangelical church in Lancas-
ter. Through earnest work and
faithfulness he gained the confid-
ence of the congregation and was
repeatedly elected as trustee. He
was.a lovable husband and father
to his family, an industrious farmer,
G.. e. I.

At ali these meetings subscrip-
tions were received to apply on the
debt of the new structure, which
cost about 5000. At the beginning
of the morning service there was a
debt of $1,000 hanging over the fine
new structure; but at the conclusion
of the evening meeting it was half
paid-about 81, 500 raised on sub
scription at the three meetings.
Dinner and supper were served in
the basement, where about 800 peo-
pie partook Of splendid meals.
All who have seen the new church
pronounce it one of the most artis-
tic structures of the kind in this
section of the country. The prin-
cipal room, or square Of the build
ing, is 4Ox40, with dome roof. On
the north is 16x20 foot assembly
room, above which, on an upper
floor, is fine library and club room
for young peoples clubs, etc An
other extension on the east end pro-
vides extra room for pulpit, bapt-
istry, cloakroom and cellarway.
The two front entrances are at the
northwest and southwest corner.
The former opens into a large ante
room. The basement is under all,
and is high and well-llghted. The
floor is of hard concrete cement.

High School Notes.

If the weather permits the game be-
tween the High school team and
the second team will be played
Saturday afternoon at the fair
grounds. A good game is promised
if the field is in shape.
The last engraving for the annual
arrived this week. 1t was detained
on account of a change made in the
picture. A good deal over half of the
book is done now and it will be COM
pleted easily by the first of June.
The Juniors have decided to give
the annual reception this year as the
Senior class did last year.
Friday was the day for the May
book reviews to be handed in.
Charles Eustace expects to be in
shape in time for the Fennimore game
on May 9th. The boys all nope he
will be all right as his presence in the
game will add great deal of strength
to thesteam. Practice will be started
next week in earnest for this game.
The Senior class started a short
study Of Browning Thursday. All
say that their only regret is that time
will not permit longer study-all but
the class.
The Physics class will have an ex-
animation on Sound before taking up
Light.
The Interschoiastic track meet will
be held at Madison on May 9th this
year. This big meet is participated in
by all the larger high schools of the
state and some of the smaller ones
around Madison. Sometime several
years from now probably Lancaster
will be represented. The attempt to
interest the boys in track work this
year however was failure.
All Of the present corps of teachers
will be here next year with the excep-
ton of Prof. Duncalf who has &C
cepted better position at Dodgeville
in the high school of that city.
The commencement programs have
been ordered. About 800 were sent for.
The Alumni association has decided
to give banquet at commencement.
With the Juniors giving a reception
and the Alumni a banquet commence
ment should be quite social affair.
If we get our long hoped for GYM
naslum next year the year should be
banner one for the High School in
Athletics. The boys hope to have
Rev. Evans in charge of the football
work and if this arrangement is made
good team and good schedule are
assured. A gymnasium would also
make possible a basketball team.
Basketball was started last winter and
with a place to practice there is no
reason why good team cannot be
turned out next winter. This game is
recognized as the best game financial
~ of all the sports as only five men
are needed for team. In the spring
baseball and track teams could be
turned out with the aid of the gym
nasium. Track work would certainly
be taken up and good team put in
the field.

A Hot Air Yarn.

The Dubuque Times yesterday
had a first page feature of a murder
near Fennimore and the consequent
shooting of Sheriff Glenn in making
arrest of the culprit.
There was no foundation in the
least for the article, no such crime
or arrest having been made. Sheriff
Glenn was enroute to Lacrosse at
the time the alleged shooting took
place, miles away from Fennimore.
The story is nothing more nor less
than a fictitious pipe dream on part
of some Key city newspaper space
filler.

"You will find some in my sewing

soon had the cut discovered, and
at church in assisting with the
collection, he noticed every one
smile as he passed the plate and
some of the younger people laughed
outright. Very much annoyed he
asked one of his assistants if there
was anything wrong with his ap-
pearance. 'Why, I should say
there was" answered the assistant.
