Mail Boxes to be Green.

Mail boxes are to be green. All
letter boxes, mall-package boxes
and the posts supporting both
classes of boxes will he printed that
hue. The paint will be sent in bulk
from Washington and applied by
painters selected by the local post
masters. This is in accordance with
the general scheme of the postofice
department to change the color of
mail boxes all over the country from
ALUMINIUM to green as fast as they
need repaintlng. The aluminium
has been unsatisfactory. It was
selected on the theory that it would
prevent the boxes from rusting, but
it has failed to do so. A committee
was appointed to select a new paint.
After going into the subject thor
oughly and consulting officers of the
navy as to the best paint in use on
transports and war vessels the
committee unanimously selected
green.

HAZEL GREEN BOOMING.
Stock For Railroad Has Been Taken
Up and Many New Homes Being
Built.

The stock for the building Of the
Chicago & Northwestern railway in
to Hazel Green has been all
subscribed and the road will be
pushed to completion in a short
time. The road will be only one
mark of progress in the village, fol
many new buildings are under
course of construction. A large
field has been cut up into lots for
buildings and the town is expert
encing boom such as has not been
known in southern Wisconsin. From
village of 500, Hazel Green
promises to be a town of 1000 busy
men and women in the near future.
The rich mines in that vicinity are
responsible for 1t all. For years the
great bodies of ore have lain undis-
turbed in the bowels of the earth,
but capital has been invested, and
the entire community aroused by
the prospect of wealth.
While it pleases every loyal
citizen to see the wheels of pro-.
gress turning, there are changes
made necessary which bring feel.
ing of regret to the bosom of the
older inhabitants of the village.
who have made it their home for
years. An instance of this kind was
brought out a few days ago when
the old Steamboat House, was
RACED. This building stood out up
on the prairie all alone before there
was a permanent settlement in that
section of the country. 1t served as
a hostelry for the traveller and
miner and many of the old pioneers
OF Hazel Green and southern Wis
consin slept there on the first night
spent in new and untamed coun-
try. 1t was built in the early '4Os
OF before, and the architecture was
out of the ordinary for building
resting on solid land. It was long
and narrow, two stories, and had
the appearance of a steamboat,
hence its name. 1t was here in this
building that James Gates Percival,
the poet, scientist and scholar, lived
and labored for years.
Percival was character Of whom
Hazel Green should be proud. He
was state geologist of Wisconsin,
and his work in the lead mine re-
gion was of great value. He diel
in Hazel Green in 1856, and was
buried in the Protestant cemetery,
where a marble slab marks the spot
where he sleeps.

Rev Schoenfelt Has Runaway.

Two young men of Madison were
out for spin with an automobile
last Sunday, their destination being
Mineral Point. When within two
miles of Dodgeville they met Rev.
Schoenfelt who was on his way to
fulfil a preaching appointment. The
reverend gentleman was driving
team of horses attached to buggy
and was accompanied by a young
woman. The horses became badly
frightened, and the driver, who is
skilled horseman. failed to control
them. They whlrled and plunged
through a wire fence, thence across
the field and partly through another
wire fence. Mr.. Schoenfelt chung to
the lines herolcally, Notwithstanding
one of them broke. He escaped bod
lily injury, but the young woman had
a lower limb wrenched and she was
otherwise bruised. One horse was
seriously cut by the wires and the
other received deep scratches in
many places. Competent horesmen
have pronounced it the finest match
ed and most valuable team in Iowa
county. Mr.. Schoenfelt's less is
quite heavy, while his intense ad
miratiOn for horses will cause him
no little grief to see his pets in such
a SCARED and suffering condition.
The young men with the automo-
bile were arrested and detained at
Dodgeville for trial, the result of
which has not been learned.
The extent to which automobiles
scare horses en- country highways,
seemingly much greater than in cit
les, is alarming, and is question
for serious consideration, life being
so largely at stake.

Locusts Disappear.

Some one has been inquiring as
to the whereabouts of the seven
teen year locusts, of which so much
has been heard. On first appearance,
the usual swarms were seen; re-
Gently they seem to have disap-
peared entirely. The question is be-
ing discussed as to the probability
OF wet weather being the cause of
this disappearance, or whether they
have become Disguised with the
combination of hot and wet weather
and have migrated. Seventeen years
ago they stayed in swarms until
we'll along into the summer and
early fall. {

A Good Law.

One OF the laws passed at the last
session of the legislature prohibits
the sale of canned goods contain
ing any kind of artificial coloring
of any preservative other than
sugar, vinegar, spices, etc. IT'S
well that such law is passed-to
safeguard the health of the news
paper fraternity. Many poor,
weary, brain tagged slave of the
pencil and shears has for years
been buying canned dog-fsh color
ed with anilin, under the delusion
that he is investing his hard earn
ed money in Columbia river sal
mon. When a law is passed in this
state prohibiting the sale of saw
dust under the guise of breakfast
foods, then hope will rise in the
breast of the editor. The Wiscon-
sin legislature could also confer a
great favor on the Chinese if it had
the power to pass laws for that
country. Recently it has been as
certained that the choice birds
nests being shipped from the state
of Connecticut to that country fol

than compound of Eastwood shaw.

YOUR HOME TOWN.
Next to Your Family the Home Town
Should be First Always.

Next to a mans family and his
business nothing should be nearer
to his heart than the town in which
he lives. It is the place where he
wins his confidence and educates his
children. If he wants to make it as
popular as possible he cannot afford
to be Indifferent to any thing which
furthers these ends. 1t can be said
that a town that is worthy the de-
votion of its citizens in making 1t
wholly known and greatly prosper
GUS is town in which it is worth
the full measure of our devotion to
merely take a share'of the COM
mon benefits accorded to the COM
munity. We may yet add, if per-
sons cannot identify themselves
with the interest of their town and
be in sympathy and touch with the
people with whom they live, it
would be better for them and the
town if they would move out"
There are people who live off a
community and contribute nothing
to it. They oppose the church,
state and school and everything
done in which they cannot lead or
make profit out Of; tearing down
without ability or disposition to
build up. In their fault finding,
opposition and Indifference they
discourage and crush out what
could be made more prosperous if
they expended half the effort in
trying to build it up, that they do
in discouraging improvements.

MRS. WILLIAMS DEAD.
Passed Away at Her Home at Mather
Sunday.

The sad intelligence reached
friends and acquaintance in Lam
caster Sunday morning announcing
the death of Mrs. James P. Williams
at the family residence near Mather,
which occurred at about z a. m.
Sunday.
Mrs. Williams had been i'll for
several weeks, but friends here had
no apprehension of a serious out
come. Little is it to be wondered at
that the announcement of her death
caused feeling of surprise and sad
ness.
Deceased was formerly a resident
of Lancaster and was held in high
esteem by all who knew her. The
county seat had no better citizens
than Mr.. and Mrs. Williams and all
regretted their departure from here
about three years ago.
Mrs. Williams was prominent in
church and society circles, a hospit-
able neighbor and her demise will
be mourned outside Of the family
circle in which she was a queen.
Besides the bereaved husband,
three sons survive.
1t was the intention Of the family
TO bring the remains here for inter-
ment and friends here were so noti-
fed, but the plans were altered and
interment took place at Mather.
The afflicted family has the SYM
patty Of everyone here in this be-
reavement.

The Park Association Will Prosecute.

The Lancaster Park and Pleasure
Drive Association has been engaged
this season in constructing a drive
way, fencing its tract, and doing
other work which it was necessary
to do before any particular atten-
ton could be paid to Identification
and internal Improvement. In adj
dition, however, it has procured
some seats, tables and other ac-
comodations for picnickers, which
are now on the grounds. From this
time on, our attention will be de-
voted largely to making the park
a place where all will be glad to go
for recreation and enjoyment of
natural beauty.
The Association is merely trustee
for the city. 1t is strictly governed
by state law, and has no option but
to vigorously enforce the provisions
made by statute for the protection
of parks created under the Park
Act of 1899. 1t cannot and will not
allow the property to be abused in
any way.
New tables for picnickers were
put in the park last week. Last
Sunday many were at the park, and
a number scrawled their names on
the new tables, and otherwise de-
faced them. These persons are
known, and might well be pros
ecuted. The directors have de-
termined, however, to pass the
matter, with the assurance to all
vandals that from this time on they
will prosecute every person violat-
ing the act under which the AS
ISOLATION is incorporated, or any of
the Rules of the Association, and
therefore attention is called to some
of these laws and rules:
Oh. 55, sec. II, Laws Wis. 1899. "Any
person who shall injure, remove,
break, burn, cut down, root up, sever
or carry away any tree, shrub, plant,
root, vine or flower, standing or grow
ing in or upon anyD.such park, boule-
ward or pleasure drive or who shall
tear down, mutilate, deface, destroy
or injure, any sign board, mile stone,
post, guide board, bridge, fence, walk
or railing, or any part thereof, or any
printed or written copy of the rules or
regulations Of said corporation or of
any statute relating to parks, boule-
Yards or pleasure drives, shall be guilty
of misdemeanor. and upon convict
ion thereof shall be punished by a
fine not exceeding ten dollars, but up
on proof that any such act was mali
ciously done, he shall upon convict
ion thereof, be punished by fine not
exceeding fifty dollars
