A GOOD IMPRESSION.
(From the Island Pond Hcrald)

(FrOm tho Island Fond HcraIdO
Governor Boil never fails to make
good impression in all his public appear
ancts. His speech recently at Barre.
like all his public utteranccs. was char
actcrzcd by good sense expressed in
clear and impressive English.

NO REMINDER NEEDED.

F'rOM the bennington Eanner.)
The new Ethan Allen tower near Bur-
lington is not only a memorial Of his
torical things but it is n reminder that
burlington is blessed with one of the
most public spirited citizens OF Vermont
in Mr.. Van Patten, to whose efforts and
energy the erection of the memorial Is
due.

THE GOVERNORSHIP.
(From the Mortified Ncws.)

Of course no one really expected Gov
crnor Bell would be "A candidate for re-
nomination. Possibly II was hoped that
the starting OF such scheme would hold
him down from attempting some other
political stunt, but il is likely to have
directly the opposite effect. In fact. what
Governor Bell did not say about being a
candidate for representative from the
second congressional district stands out
very prominent in tho article quoted
above. AS to Or. Webb. there has been
no reason to suppose that he has ever
favorably considered the idea Of getting
into Mr.. Proctor's gubernatorial path.
Every week shows more clearly that the
latter gentleman is likely to have a clear
field to tho governors chair next year;
and there might be a great deal worse
selection.
NO SEEDLESS APPLE TREES.
(From the Poultncy .Tournal)
1t would be wise thing for our
farmers when the tree agent comes
along and offers them seedless trees tc
release Nero and say "sick him." That
is the use for dogs anyway. Don't buy
these novelties. They arc all humbugs
We are an advocate of fruit culture. We
are not a foe to the fruit tree agent, but
his firm always has few seedlcss apples
at fabulous prices that help stun an
order and swell his profits. Buy stand
ard sorts that have stood the test of
years and let the other chap try the
fakes

Altitude in Grant County.

In Vol. II, Geology at Wiscon-
sin," is found the elevations of
points in the state, from which we
subjoin that relating to localities
in our own county. The geologist
regards these elevations as of the
first Importance in Investigations.
From them sections of the country
are readily plated showing the.
geological position of the strata,
with their dip, thickness, and the.
amount of denudation at any parti-
cular locality. Most persons are
curious to know just where they
are at, and how many feet the
place they live in is above the sur
face of the sea and the great lakes.
The following covers a sufficient
number of points in Grant county
to be at general interest.

English Friendly Society with a
similar name. The total member
ship of the society in the United
States is 100000 and it's Rebecca
lodges and feminine attachment,
about 100000 women, thus effect
ing million and half of people.
April 26 is recalled each year
with especial interest. 1t is worthy
of attention by the general public,
who may or may not be aware of
the impulses for the good of humani-
ty, care of the widow and the
orphan, the suffering of destitute
brother, set in motion at Baltimore
nearly century ago. These are
animating a mighty organization of
a million and half both men and
women, who scattered across the
continent, assemble in lodges at
frequent intervals, hard upon the
heels of churches and schools in the
work for material as we'll as a
spiritual uplifting Of mankind.

Obltuary-Kasper.

Joseph Kasper, Sr., one of the
pioneers of Grant County, died at
his home in North Lancaster last
Thursday evening at $50 o'clock,
aged 70 years. He had been ailing
all winter, in fact, had been in poor
health for some twenty years, but
the final sickness was of but two
weeks duration, and was pneu-
monia.
Mr.. Kasper was born at Bendorf,
near the Rhine, Germany, Jan. 26,
1885, and came to America in 1854
with his parents, who settled In
Ohio. He was their only child. His
father met an untimely death while
telling a tree at Washington Fur
mace, Ohio. The deceased came to
Grant County in 1858, settling on
the farm a mile and a half north
west of Liberty Ridge, which had
been his home ever since, his
mother living with him until her
death.
Mr.. Kasper was of frugal, in
dustrious character, a man of solid
nature and strictly honorable in all
his dealings. The modest forty he
bought in the early days has be-
come a magnificent farm of 40
acres. Here he lived, at peace with
the world and with his God, a man
or irreproachable character and
high standing IN the community
until death called him to his other
home.
The partner of Mr.. Kasper's joys
and sorrows was his faithful surviv-
ing wife, Mary Wilhelmina Heber-
lein, sister of J. F. Heberlein of Fen
nimore and Jacob Heberlein of
North Lancaster. She was a native
of the same place where Mr.. Kasper
came from, and he became &C
quainted with her in Philadelphia,
where her family resided at the
time. They were married in the
Quaker City in October, 1856.
Nine children are living; one a
daughter, Elizabeth, having died IN
youth. They are Jacob, of Liberty;
Emma Mrs. Herman Huehnefeld,
of Over, Neb. J Charles, the Lancas-
ter miller; Henry, of North Lam
caster; George, in the harness bust
ness at Lancaster; Emil and Albert,
of North Lancaster; William and
Joseph F., at home. George and
his wife were in New Mexico for
the benefit Of the formers health
but both he and the only sister
were here to attend the funeral.
Mr.. Kasper all of his life had
been an earnest, consistent Christ
ian, and he was one of the founders
of the Evangelical Church at
Liberty Ridge, quarrying and cutt-
ing most of the rock in that old
structure himself. From that house
of worship the funeral was held on
Monday, Rev. Zielinski officiating,
and an immense audience attended
and witnessed the consign1ng of his
remains to mother earth in the
nearby cemetery to await resurrec-
ton morn.
Thus the life of good and true
man has come to a close.

Glen Haven is the nearest the level
of the sea of any place named. The
Mississippi bottom at the southern
extremity of Grant county is 600
feet above. The highest land in the
county is noted about Fennimore
and Mt. Ida, and it beats a 800 an
acre in some parts too, and from
the geological coast survey station
located in the latter years ago, one
can see away into that great crack
IN the moon if he has eyes strong
enough. West Platte Mound is only
1O4 feet higher. But West Blue
Mound over in Dane county is at it's
Apex the highest point in southern
Wisconsin, being 1929 feet above
the sea. These elevations, says
the author of the work referred to.
''were computed with the utmost
accuracy and care"
