Where Furs Come From.

Lester Boughton took his prime
lot OF furs, mention of which was
made in Wednesdays Herald, to Po-
tosi and marketed them with Thorn
as & Orrick, receiving a gilt edge
figure for them as predicted.
The Old-time trappers Of early
days are fast disappearing and but
few now exist.
In the early days Of American
history the trapper was one of the
ever present picturesque characters,
Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett and
Kit Carson though primarily hunt
ers were of the tribe. The founda-
ton of the great Aston fortune of
100000, 900 was laid by old John
Jacob Aston, the trapper. But ex-
cept in few localities trapping has
ceased to BE- profession.
What becomes of the skins? Per
haps when another winter rolls
round we may admire them as they
brush the pink cheeks of wife or
sweetheart. But they will have
new name and then their appear
ance will be greatly changed. And
perhaps they will have travelled
clear to London and back, for Lon
don, be it known, is the great fur
market Of the world. 1t is there
that two or three times year the
fur harvest is sold at auction with
bidders from all parts of the world.
The furs from Greenland and Zee
land are sold at auction annually at
Copenhagen, Denmark. AT Leipsic
there is an annual auction of those
which are found in the forest of
Germany and other part of Europe
and at Mimi Novgorod, Russia, an
annual fair is held where the cara
vans of Asia dump their cargoes for
sale or exchange with the merchants
Of the European countries. These
cargoes include the fur harvest
from Siberia and other parts of Asia
and are the greatest sources for the
supply of Russian sable, Persian
lamb, astrakan and other expensive
skins. Seal skins from Alaska, Ter
ra Del Fuego and other parts of the
world are sold at special sales in
London. One authority on the sub
ject says the annual supply of seal
skin garments furnished the retail
stores contains about ten times as
many skins as are offered in the
wholesale market. He accounts for
this by declaring that the skins of
muskrats and other less aristocratic
animals are converted into seal
skins by the fur1ier's art. In 1903
over three million muskrat hides
were sold in London and last year
nearly four million. AS none of our
lady friends seem to be wearing
muskrat hides lit is very evident
that those hides have been trans
formed. 1t is claimed also. that the
kangaroo fur makes a large amount
of sealskin worn by femininity. In
1903 there we're sold in London
nearly 10000 sable skins and last
year owing to the war in the east,
less than $4,000. Yet New York
society lady recently purchased a
col Ia n i G. ~ \
says that she picked over lot of
5000 skins to select those that en-
tered into it. AS there were less
than IA, 900 sable skins on the mar
ket all told, it is not at all impos-
sible that the lady may have select
ed few extra fine possum or musk
rat skins. Nobody wears possum
skins-yet it is said that more of

The marriage of Miss Mile Grebe
to Mr. Carl Hammer of Greenwood,
Neb. which was consummated at the
home Of the bride at Liberty Ridge,

"a hours and even the Potosi stage
failed to get in. If the Herald is
not so newsy as usual, do not lay
the fault to patent in ards but to

Pursuant to request OF the above
named aldermen, Mayor Hassell
caused a meeting of the council
Wednesday evening at which Pres.
Muesse presided and all the alder
men were present.
Clerk Michaelis read minutes. of
previous regular and special meet
ings which were approved
c. D. Stratton, representing the
Wisconsin Telephone company,
came before the council and pro-
posed that the company would lease
the front portion of the second floor
of the city hall, used for stage pur-
poses in the old opera house,
providing same was arranged for
such use as central telephone
Office requires. Mr.. Stratton stated
that he had already conferred with
the business committee of the
council regarding the matter and
that the committee had estimated
cost of re-arranging the room at
about $3.50. Aid. BROKER believed
this would not cover the expense.
After considerable discussion on
this subject Aid. Knapp moved that
if repairs necessary could be made
at a cost not exceeding $3.50 that
they be made; that when completed
the business committee should enter
into contract will the company at
$40 pea month. This was carried.
Upon further consideration it was
deemed advisable to arrange the
balance of the floor for the use of
the city library, thus doing away
with rent in the Alt block the city
is now paying. y
The next matter to come up was
the question of which of the tele-
phone lines the city should use in
connection with its new fire alarm
system soon to tie installed. 1t was
left with special committee named
at last regular meeting to solve,
The principal topic of the pro-
gram was next taken up action
upon the long delayed petition of
Landlord Guy to open buffet in
the Grand Central hotel. The mat
ter was not discussed at length,
every alderman having settled the
question in his own mind one way
or the other. A call OF the ayes
and noes resulted in the petition
being granted by vote of 4 to 3.
Those voting in the affirmative were
Aldermen Place, Henkel, Knapp
and May. In the negative Alder
men BROKER, Ray and Wetter.
Clerk Michaelis read a petition
signed by a large number of sub
sclibers of the Farmers Telephone
company in re gard to the impaired
service of the lines resulting from
induction from the wires of the
Lancaster Electric Light company,
and desired some action taken by
the city in remedying the matter.
On motion of Aid. Knapp it was
decided to investigate the matter
and see what could be done.
