There will be no trains in nor out
Of Lancaster today. The railroad
people will clean the track with a
rotary pillow before attempting to
get here. A rotary snow pillow is
nothing new on the main lines but
one has never been used out here
and the huge machine for fighting
snow drifts will prove a novelty to
people along this division of the
road. 1t will probably arrive here
this evening. z
Hugh Warren, the indefatigable
Potosi-Lancaster stage driver and
his team of faithful mules who fear
neither wind nor snow, drifts nor
cold, has given the county seat the
only mail service it has had in so
far as the outside world is concern
ed since Saturday noon. Mr..
Warren is certainly deserving of
credit for his excellent services
rendered under such trying circum-
stances.
The townspeople this week have
been more than interested about the
spots on the sun. At first there
only seemed to be one large speck
but observers now claim that a
second spot is plainly visible. 1t is
said as the sun sinks to repose in
the west the spots can plainly be
seen. The largest spot is on the
right hand side of the sun and the
smaller one is to the left. Have
you seen them? The largest one is
said to be nearly 100000 miles
across.
Last week was one of UMPIRE
cedented bargain giving on the
part of Lancaster merchants. Goods
were sold with little or no profit
and people came from far and near
to avail themselves of the bargains
offered. This is not so nluch a strife
among our merchants as it is de-
sire to close out the over supply,
and also show other towns and
Chicago catalogue houses that they
cannot and never have undersold
Lancaster stores People who have
been "Chadwicked'' are now be-
ginning to realize this fact and are
now falling over themselves in
their ''frenzied" efforts to pick up
some of the bargains. The move
ment will no doubt result in great
good, as many new customers will
be won away from outside concerns
as soon as they can be made to see
the advantage of trading at home.
