MONEY FOR SCHOOLS.
AppOrtiOnment Gives Lancaster
Schools the Sum of $371.

The high school fund Of 500, 600
was divided among the various state
high schools last week, the appor-
tionment proper being about $97,
500. In general the four years
course high schools received 1871
each. Lancaster received this
amount as it's portion.
To secure aid the schools must
meet certain requirements provided
by the law. City free high schools
having four courses of study and
expanding $1,000 or more for IN
struction receive not to exceed $500
and township free high schools re-
ceive one-half of the amount they
actually spend for instruction.
Schools having only three courses OF
study receive less.
First the amount due township
high schools is deducted from the
$500, 900. Then the salary and ex-
penses of the state high school in
spector is deducted, which this year
amounts to $2,470.70. The re-
mainder is distributed according to
the number of courses Of stuaies
and the amount expended for in.
struction in the different schools.

Obituary-James Mahan.

1t was with deep regret that til
writer of this read the brief motto
in Saturdays Herald, of the death of
this gentle, kindly old man.
She, at least will always hold him in
grateful remembrance for his tender
and sklllful ministrations to a be-
loved father, sick, dying and dead.
AS is but natural, under the cir
cumstances, the Herald erred concern
ing James Mahan's family. He was
twice married. First to Lydia Ashley,
sister OF the late Samuel Ashley; to
them were born two daughters and
son; Sarah. who died in early youth,
Mary and Ashley, who are, so far as
known still living.
After her death he married her half
sister, Martha Mcdonald. To them
were born two daughters and three
sons; Anna, Alice, Fred, John and
Richard. So far as the writer knows
only Anna is dead. She and her
mother sleep in McGregor, Iowa.
1t seems strange and hard that the
father of eight children, six of whom
are probably living, should die with
out "klth of kin" near him and in the
poor house!
Ashley, who like his father, is a
skillful carpenter once offered him a
home, but he declined.
Mr.. Mahan never joined any religi-
Gus body; but held the tenets of the
Snot tn which bic rarap+c hoIoroo5
the Hicksite Quakers.
HeEwas "An honest man, the noblest
work of God" Now life with it's sor-
rows, sin and poverty is ended and the
worn out body rests beside the wife of
his youth.
He has all that the rich can one day
claim, 1.-THE six feet of earth"
Lord all plying, Jesus blest.
Grant him Thine eternal rest"

POTATOES SCARCE.
Farmers Don't Raise Enough to Sup
ply Local Demand.

The past two or three years have
witnessed a potato shortage in this
section and each year farmers have
tried in vain to recoup their short
age. The damp, cold summers have
had much to do with the losses in
the past few years and this year
where potatoes have not suffered
seriously from scab and other
diseases, they have been very small
and the yield was cut down one
third to one-half
Many farmers who had expected
to have potatoes to market have
already come to the conclusion that
they would have to purchase for
their own use.
1t is an assured fact that if the
best results are to be obtained rails
ing potatoes in this section a more
scientific system must be followed
as the many plant diseases are
certainly playing havoc with this
most valuable crop. The use of
brodeaux mixture will undoubtedly
be resorted to pretty generally next
year.

BUY THEM HERE.
Do Not Send Out of Town for Your
Holiday Gifts. Shelves Filled at
Home.

This is the time Of the year when
people are buying Christmas pres
ents. There are many people who
get in the habit of sending outside
of the city for an article, simply
because 1t comes from the outside,
when they can buy equally desir-
able articles, often exactly the same
thing here in Lancaster for the same
or even less money. The growth of
this city and it's future success de-
ponds entirely upon the spirit Of CO.
operation among the people, and at
this time of the year those who are
in the habit Of sending out of town
for Christmas goods because it is
more or less of a fad, should take
into consideration this spirit of CO.
operation, and buy the goods at
home. There is not another town
twice this size in the state of Wis
consin where one can find such an
array Of goods as shown by the
stores of this city. Merchants of
Lancaster are up to date, and are
progressive. They are the year
around, interested in the welfare of
the city, contributing towards the
various churches and other religious
enterprises, and helping on all wor-
thy projects in a financial way, and
they have right to expect the sol
i'd support of it's people. Some peo-
pie send out of town for goods sim
ply because they can talk about it
and presume to have more prestige
and more credit because they make
their purchase in this way. Such a
practice as this is anything but
credita BILE. No matter how much of
fad 1t may be with some, it is GER
tainly unpatriotic to send out of
town for goods when the same thing
can be bought here. The short
sighted people who make most of
their purchases in this way will be
the ones to complain the loudest if the
tables were turned upon them, and
the products of their hands or what
ever methods they use to make a
living were refused by other people
and preference given to outsiders.
At this time of the year when so
much money will be spent in buying
presents that will give happiness
and cheer to all, let every Lancaster
citizen do his part toward trading at
home, and thus contribute that
much at least towards building up
the general prosperity.

with his maneuvers at all times

rushed him out of line and his ef-

Council Proceedings.

A special meeting of the common
council called Tuesday evening to
consider ordinances turned out to
be simply love feast in settling
the much talked of case against
Rudersdorf & Reid for selling
liquor to minors.
The matter was compromised by
Marshal Budworth Withdrawing his
complaint, and instead of revoking
their license the defendants were
allowed to go before justice and
plead guilty and pay fine. Justice
Moses dished up the penalty, $25
apiece for each of the six high
school boys who testified to having
secured drinks of Mr.. Reidl on
Halloween night, making the fine
$3.50 and costs about $6-a rather
expensive pill to swallow.
Other saIoonkeepers had better
look out for the following resolu-
tons we're read and adopted:
Whereas complaint has been filed
with the city clerk, signed by Albert
Budworth, that George Rudersdorf
and Joseph Riedl, partners doing
business under the firm name of
Rudersdorf & Riedl, and as such
firm licensed by the city of LaEcas-
ter to keep a saloon and sell intox1-
eating liquors, did, on the 31st day
of October, 1905, unlawfully sell in
toxicating liquors to six minors in
said complaint named;
And whereas upon said complaint
a summons has been issued by the
Common Council requiring said
Rudersdorf and Rledl to appear be-
fore the council on the LIST day of
December, 1905, at seven o'clock in
the evening, then and there to show
cause why the license of said
Rudersdorf q Riedl should not be
revoked;
And whereas this is the first of
Tense of said Rudersdort & Riedl,
or either of them, and other saloon
keepers in the city have been guilty
in the past of violating the law al d
of selling illegally, but have been
punished only by fine, aud this is
the first proceeding for revocation
that has occurred in the city for
many years; now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the said Albert
Budworth be requested to withdraw
said complaint, and instead to
prosecute said Rudersdorf e Riedl
before the courts for said unlawful
selling, enforcing penalty as by
law provided for each of said sew
eral offences committed by them on
the 91st day of October; and be it
further
Resolved, That the city marshal
be, and he IS hereby instructed, to
proceed by complaint for revoca-
ton of the license of each and every
saloonkeeper within said city who
shall be in future guilty of any Of
fence for which his license may be
revoked under the laws of the State
Of Wisconsin.
Council then adjourned.
