Strange to say, some Of the ex-

seem to lament rather than re-

has decreased eighty per centslnce.

This means that for every $loO
formerly spent for liquor only
500 are spent now-that where

MCCARTNEY NOTES.

AS Mccartney has not been heard
from through the Herald for some
time few items of interest will be
penned to let the people known that
we are still on earth and want to be
numbered with others who are
represented in the columns Of the
Herald.
The crops this season in this vicin-
lty are good, corn never looked bet
ter and in less than two weeks will
be free from frost.
Very little threshing has been
done around Mccartney as yet but
there is a very large crop of wheat
and oats in the stack awaiting the
threshers to come.
E Rockefeller and family were up
to Lancaster last week visiting his
sisters and taking in the Lancaster
fair. While there he says that
several people at the Hub wanted
to know about the fishing down
here. We will answer them all in
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-09-16

these notes to the best of our abil-
ity. About the middle of August
when the water was down the fish
were biting good and no one needed
to go home without good sized
string. The river is again falling
and the prospects are favorable for
good catches, so if the people of the
Hub should come to Mccartney on
a fishing trip and have poor luck
they can set it down that they did
not come at the right time or did
not fish in the right places.
Our school in the Elwell district
opened last Monday with Mamie
Daley, the old reliable teacher in
charge.
Chris Karman, a farmer from near
here was very we'll represented at
the Lancaster fair with stock and
received several premiums on the
same. He sold several head of hogs
on the fair grounds.
A large crop of cane for making
sorghum has been raised around
here and our neighbor, George
Burrows, is getting his cane mill
ready for business and we know
from experience that George makes
good molasses and tLat it will keep,
as we have some of it in the house
that he made twenty-five years
ago.
Edwards Ruche and family, of
Lancaster, spent few days fishing
in this vicinity week or so ago.
The game wardens from up the
river were down this way a few
days ago and captured number of
fish nets and burned them, among
them were some hoop nets belong
ing to John Ruche, of this place.
Take warning We fishermen who
come to McCareney on fishing
tour and leave your fish nets and
seines at home.

WISCONSIN TELEPHONE.
Exchange is now Completed and in
Working Order-The Most Up-tO
date Exchange Outside the
Large Cities.

The telephone exchange installed
in this city by the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Co., is now complete and in
working order. A reporter for the
Herald visited the rooms yester-
day and was shown drought the
exchange and the workings of the
apparatus explained to him. The
exchange is what is termed an all
cable system. The switch board is
OF the very latest pattern and the
work of the operator is lessened
great deal by modern appliances
showing what number calls and
when the party wanted answers.
ALI that is necessary to call
central" is to take the receiver of
the hook on the telephone and it
rings central automatically.
There are now about 100 subscribers
to the new exchange and there will
be an operator both night and day
to attend to the wants OF the pat
rons. A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all to visit the exchange
where the workings of it will be
fully explained to them. In our
next issue we will give a full de-
scriptlon of the exchange.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Lancaster Business Men to Are Unite
to Promote Local Interests.

Chas. w. Arson, a promoter from
Chicago was in Lancaster first of
the week and his visit will be the
means of the organization of an
association of our business men
and citizens for the advancement of
Lancaster along various lines now
dormant.
Notice was given of a mass meet
ing to be held Wednesday evening
and in response a hundred or more
assembled at the council chamber to
listen to Mr.. Anson's remarks and
talk matters over.
R. B. Showalter was made chair
man of the meeting and Fl. j. John
son secretary.
Mr.. Arson was introduced and
his remarks of an hour were
listened to intently by everyone.
He outlined his plans for an or
ganization and told of the great ad-
vantages to be gained. Mr.. Arson
is an enthusiastic Deliver in a great
future in store for this section of
the state and is sure new railroad
is coming.
At conclusion of his talk many
questions were put to Mr.. Arson by
several of his audience which he
answered cheerfully. On motion by
R. Meyer, Jr.. it was voted un-
animously to organized COM
mercial club and Chairman Sho-
walter named committee of five,
consisting of Fl. E. Carthew, R.
Meyer, Jr., Ed M. Lowry, E. L.

H. H. Knapp, of Platteville,
was business visitor in this city on
Thursday.
Miss Elizabeth Brooker arrived
home this week from the sanitarium
much improved in health.
The postotfice department. has
made new ruling on mail matter
addressed to patrons on rural routes.
whichwill be of great benefit in this
country when the reorganization
of the eystem goes into effect this
fall. Under the new ruling post
masters are allowed to forward pa
pers, as we'll as first class matter;
from one Office to another, where
the person addressed is on rural
route. In the many changes from
one postoffice to another that will
result when the new routes are es-
tablished, it will require several
months for the patrons to have
their mail properly addressed, and
while there will necessarily be de-
lays, mail of every character will
finally reach the party to whom it
was addressed.

From Gibraltar to Madrid.
(Bv Ralph l.. Ray.)

June 81, 1905. LAS cuatrol y
media?" This morning I was awak-
ened by these words accompanied
by vigorous rap on the door. In
English we would say, "Half past
four" I soon dressed and went to
the dining room where 1 had some
coffee and bread. and by five o'clock
l was ready to 60 to the landing.
There the courier procured tickets
for himself and me and also had my
baggage checked to Madrid. We
got into the ferry boat which left
Gibraltar at 6. There was party
of Americans on the boat. They
were tourists who were going to
Seville, Cordova and Granada. Be-
hind us the sun was just peeping
over the rock where England's flag
has waved for two centuries. Far
away to the left was the coast Of
Africa that looked black even in
the light OF the morning sun. To
the right appeared the rugged coast
of Spain which extended around in
front of us where appeared the
white walled town of Algeciras,
Moorish town formerly. The name
is akin to the name of Algiers in
Morocco. In twenty minutes we
landed at pier on which were
some railroad tracks. There our
baggage was put on tiny fatcar
that was pushed along by four men.
The passengers walked to the custom
house where all of the baggage was
inspected. There, too, was the
train which, as l supposed, would
take us to Madrid. I soon found
out l was mistaken as my COM
panion informed me that we would
have to change cars twice before
our arrival at the capital. The cars
are about three-fourths as wide as
those in America altho they are
fully as long. Each one is divided
into six or seven compartments
which are, IN the first and second
classes, entirely separate. Each
division will contain eight passegers,
four on a side. The passengerslsit

And there shall be no more death, neither
sorrow nor crying" Rev. Il: A.
Frank Loring was born August s,
1876. After a lingering illness he
died August 81, 1905, aged 20 years
and % days. He leaves to mourn
their loss a young wife, father,
five sisters and three brothers.
The deceased was united in mar
riage to Miss Pearl Pafford, of
Beetown He was quiet indus
trious young man, spoken we'll of
by those who knew him. The years
of welded happiness have been
brief. In the flesh and hopefulness
of early manhood, like the flower of
the field, ne has been cut down.
Disease, fastened it's hold upon him
End neither practiced skill nor
tender love could save, and thus
early he has gone the way of all
flesh. Though hearts ache and
heads are bowed in sorrow where
the young are taken, there is COM
fort in the thought that God knows
what 1t best for his children. Those
who enter early into the peace of
the grave, escape world of suffer
ing, and those who are bereft can
find a sure consOling balm in the
promises OF that dear friend, who
himself passed through the portals
Of the tomb, and will not leave COM
FORTRESS any who trust in him.
The burial was at Tennyson, near
PotOsi.
There's home for the blest on the beauti-
full shore,
Where our trials and cases all shall cease
Sorrow never shall enter that blissful
abode.
Ever there shall abide perfect peace.
There will be no more passing from those
that we love,
No more signing or shedding of tears,
For no discords shall ruf1e that peaceful
repoSe,
Which flows through Eternity's years"

the crossing and attend to their
homework and work in the fields as
well as to attend to the crossings,
for the poor people in Spain are
very poor and every one in a family
must help to support it. At the
stations women and girls would
sell water at five centimos a glass.
Five centimos are equal to a little
less than one cent of American
money, one centimo being the one
hundredth part of the peseta ($196
U. S. There are no fences IN the
country, not even along the rail-
road. The fences and walks are to
be seen only in the cities. This is
just the contrary to what it is in
America.
June %. The last station I noticed
last night was Espetuy; the first one
this morning was Las Infantas. At
Villaverds ! noticed drove of hogs.
I told man on the platform that
these were the first hogs / had seen
since leaving America. He replied,
"Oh, yes / have read that in the
forests around Chicago there are
thousands OF wild ones that the men
60 out and kill. They call these
forests the Stockyards, which, I
suppose is the English for woods. /"
Of course all of this discourse was
in Spanish excepting the word
''Stockyards." This was a unique
account Of the Union Stockyards,
and gives some idea of what the
Spanish peasants think of our large
cities.
We passed thru Ciempozuelos at
s p. m. and at z a. m. we arrived at
Madrid. This city can be seen for
some distance. The Palacio on the
west side Of the city can be plainly
distinguished from the other build
ings on account Of it's size. A car
rage was waiting for me which
took me to the Palacio. Ny COM
panion got my baggage and brought
that in another carriage. On ar
irving at the Palacio ] was shown
to my apartments, where ] staid
