ANOTHER VICTORY.
Lancaster High School Defeats the

Saturday afternoon the Lancaster
high school football team lined up
against an aggregation from Cass-

and were thus greatly strengthened,
but it was useless, the line of the
home team proving invincible.

Gates and Andrews of the regular
lineup were out of the game, the
Lancaster eleven by replacing this
loss with three substitutes, won by
a score of Is to O.

Dodgeville's Commercial Club.

The commercial club has begun
work in earnest to interest manu-
featuring concerns to locate in this
city. There is an unlimited number
of industries that are adapted to
this locality among which might
be mentioned brick yards, cement
building block works and straw
board mills. We are entirely free
from labor troubles, taxes are low,
educational advantages of the best,
and the shipping facilities from this
point are unsurpassed. Cars loaded
here may be shipped through to
almost any point in the United
States without transfer The large
manufacturing plants are forced to
locate in the rural communities to
avoid labor troubles and high taxes.
The industrial committee of the
club has this work in charge and
will push it as rapidly as possible.
Another much needed change was
discussed at the meeting of the club
Wednesday evening that of the
passenger train service into this
city over both roads, and COM
mittee consisting Of Warren HI.
Thomas, A. S. Hearn and Hugh
Parry was appointed to draft a
petition to be forwarded to the
general passenger agents stating
what the club desired. The Illinois
Central road will be asked to put
on a passenger train arriving here
between 9 and 10 a. m. and leaving
late in the afternoon. This is very
essential If we desire to interest out
side capital in our mines or induce
people along this line to do their
trading here. The schedule main
tanned by the freight is necessarily
very irregular and is not conducive
to the welfare of this city.
The club will hold regular meet
ings hereafter on every Monday
evening at the city hall.
The advertising committee pre-
sented a photograph of Iowa street
for the consideration of the club
and the matter of procuring cuts
was left in it's hands.
The club is somewhat at dis
advantage by not being able to get
into it's home in the w lliams block,
but specimens of all our products
are being placed on exhibition in

jack had no commercial value. This
jack is still on the dump. The
new company expects to clear it
up.
A mining engineer from New
York was at Platteville last week
investigating the Empire mine. He
has asked the company if it would
consider $4,000 for the property.
A meeting Of the stockholders will
be held to consider the proposition.
This price places value of 81, 900 on
each share. During the month of
September three dividends will be
declared of $40 each which is Just
equal to one-half the par value Of
each share.
The strike made with the drill on

While engaged in the argument
OF case before a jury at the regu-

county held at Dodgeville last week,
Attorneys Smoker and Fielder, two
we'll known legal lights of that
county got into dispute over the
point as to how much time was re-
quired by an ordinary man in walk
ing a distance of 300 yards.
Atty. Smoker made the state
ment that the distance could easily
be covered in 40 seconds. Atty.
Fielder of Mineral Point, who by
the way is a much younger man
than his opponent, took issue with
Atty Smoker on this assertion and
offered to wager So hat that il
could not be done, whereupon Atty
Smoker declared that he would
demonstrate the fact that it could
be accomplished by turning the
trick himself.
All the preliminaries accordingly
agreed upon and the following
morning the event was pulled off il
the presence of the judge, jury, wit
nesses, attorneys and a la1ge gath
ering of interested spectators.
The manner in which Atty. Smelk
er stepped of that 500 yards proved
his qualifications as a pedestrian il
great style, and he covered tht
course in 80 seconds fiat with ease
He won the hat as we'll as tn,

When q woman feels bad be
cause she has no money to spend,
she comforts herself by going shop
ping.
Fruit merchants and grocers in
the city make the statement that
there is a lemon famine all over the
United States. Many people who
have had occasion to visit the
grocery stores during the last few
days have noticed that there was a
scarcity of lemons, but very few of
them realized that there was liable
to be famine. The hot summer in
many parts iof the United States
and the failure of the foreign crops
is said to be the cause of the scarcity
Of the crop. The demand for lemons
this year has been greater than
that of previous years, but the crop
is not one-third as large as usual.
Lemons are already bringing good
prices but they are expected to be
as high as five cents apiece before
long. One dealer in Lancaster said:
Lemons are at least ten cents
higher than they were last year
at this time. We now have to sell
them for 40 cents. Last year at this
time they sold all the way from
25 to 80 cents. During the hot
weather the lemons decay. This is
partly because they have to be ship
ped SO far; most of our lemons are
grown in California"
