The construction work for the
Wisconsin Telephone Cos exchange
in this city was completed yester-
day and the construction crew has
departed for Lacrosse where they
have work to1do. One of the COM
mendable features of the new ex-
change is the absence of wires in
the business portion of the city, the
cable system having been adopted.
| The work has been done in a sys-
tematic and workmanlike manner
and the foreman, Henry Schroeder
has kept in close touch with all de-
partments of the construction work
and has seen to it that no part of it
has been sighted and that all of
the crew has been kept busy. The
young men composing the crew
have been orderly, there being no
rowdyism, as is generally the case
with a crew of men, as Mr.. Sch
roeder would not tolerate it among
his crew. AS soon as the material
arrives, which is expected soon,
the cable and switchboard crews
will commence their part of the
work and in short time Lancaster
will have first-class telephone ex-
change.
Dairy and Food. Commissioners
Emery of Madison is distributing
pamphlet containing the new and
amended dairy and food laws of
Wisconsin. He is mailing copies to
the newspapers and to per-
sons and firms interested and re-
questiLg the pamphlet. All the
dealers, creameries and cheese
factories of the state within a short
time will be supplied with copies of
the laws as they were left at the
close of the last legislature. In the
pamphlet Commissioner Emery gives
the following notice to dealers and
manufacturers: The attention of
dealers and manufacturers is called
to the new laws relating to chemical
preservatives, maple syrup and
maple sugar, syrups, molasses and
glucose mixtures, buckwheat flour,
condensed milk and evaporated
cream, and the sale Of lemon and
vanilla extracts. Attention is also
called to the time when these laws
are made to take effect and dealers
are hereby notified that as con-
templated by the legislature the
time until those laws are made to
take effect will be given in which to
clear shelves of outlawed goods and
that then those laws will be en-
forced. Parties interested should
carefully acquaint themselves with
these laws and promptly meet their
requirements. Attention is called to
various amendments. Particular at
tention is called to amended laws
relating to adulte1 alton of milk,
sale of renovated butter, canned
goods, adulterated honey, chopped
meats and sausages and vinegar.
More than 600 head of cattle
have been condemned and killed in
Wisconsin since January 1, on
orders of the state authorities, this
method being adopted to deal with
tuberculosis which has never been
so prevalent. The state makes tests
and where the disease is found to
exist, the cattle are killed and an
appralsment is made that pays the
farmer two-thirds of the value OF
the animals. The state legislature
provided for the carrying on of the
work on more extensive scale than
ever. We have not heard of case
of tuberculosis among the cattle in
this part of the county.
Mrs. Bergher, mother of Sister
Humilis, and Mrs. Doetch and
daughter Teresa, mother and sister
of Sister Reginata, have been here
from Detroit, Mich, for the past
two weeks visiting with the Sisters
at ST. Clements. They left Monday
for Milwaukee, accompanied by
Sisters Humilis and Reginata who
will enter the Retreat at that city.
During their stay in this city they
had a most enjoyable time and
we're very much impressed with the
appearance of Lancaster
