and Atty. Walter Brennan of Lam
caster met with the Asylum Trus-
tees, Grimm, Brown and Macarthur
at the office of Atty. Brennan in
this city Monday to consider
plans submitted by Architect Klein
hammer of Platteville for the new
hospital building to be erected the
coming summer, an appropriation
OF IS, 600 having been made by the
county board at its November ses-
sion for this purpose.
The above named five gentlemen
We're named by the board as COM

The plans as submitted by the ar

Why Trade Goes Away.

Merchants are continually COM
planning that trade which right
fully belongs to them is given to
the merchants of the cities. This is
true, and when we look at the
causes we don't wonder at it. The
cause lies in the lack of advertising
Of the local merchants or else in
their ignorance of how to advertise.
For enlightenment we will point to
the methods of two classes of adj
vertisers.
THE city merchant of any pro-
minence employs man the year
around to attend to his advertising.
The man makes contracts with news
papers, writes ads. daily for the
paper, each day touches upon the
different articles and invariably
gives the price. These advertise
ments are not confined to the city
alone, but are placed in the papers
of many of the country towns. By
reading these the people ascertain
what goods the merchant sells and
the price asked and consequently
goes there to buy.
A great many merchants of the
country look upon advertising as a
'fake'-something that will eat up
the profits of the business, and
these turn down the printer or look
upon the papers as an evil, condemn
it's methods and grumble about
business being dull. Another class
advertise to certain extent but do
1t in an Improbable way. Let the
printer approach them for copy for
an ad. and inform them that the
listing of seasonable articles with
the sale price attached has proved
the best way to advertise, and the
answer he gets is: l don't want my
competitors to know at what price
I am selling goods. Following the
plan of merchants of olden times,
who hired town crier to yell to
the people that John Smith sells
groceries, or Bill Jones is shoe
maker he is of the opinion that
such information will have the de-
sired effect. When the country
merchant screens his goods and
prices from the public view as we'll
as from a competitor, is it any
wonder that the farmer does most
of his ibuying in the cities? The
country merchants have in their
stores just as serviceable and fancy
wares with just the same price or
nearly so, as Of those in the city,
and yet how are the people to know
of this fact unless they are informed
thru the only recognized method
advertising2 This is the only way
to stop the flow of trade to some
other point. Don't advertise spas
medically, but keep at it. Blow
your horn if you don't sell fish.
Don't be afraid of printers ink, for
it hurts no one but evil doors.

Once in while we find a man
who walks into our Office, giving us
a news item or two about himself
or his neighbors. You don't know,
dear reader, how we love that man.
We don't for a minute think that
he is hankering after notoriety or
that he is trying to get his neigh
bors into print just because they
don't like it. You see our business
is to print the news-we must get
it somewhere and somehow, and
we would rather have it first hand
from good authority than to get it
by the long distance rumor route,
when it is likely to be wrong and
misleading. Such a man shows
also that he takes an interest in our
work and wishes us well and that
he appreciates the difficulties under
which the editor or the papers cor
respondents have to labor while
gathering news in a rural COM
munity like this.
The wife of A. L. Brown, a
prominent member of the county
board from Platteville, passed
away in that city last week after
an extended illness. Mr.. Browns
many Lancaster friends extend tc
him sympathy in his affection.

Notes Of the Mines.

j. V. Swift is experiencing a
great deal of trouble in beating the
flow of water in the pump shaft at
the Century at Benton. On Mon
day the workmen broke through
into lower opening and the water
began to flow into the shaft at
double it's usual flow. The indica-
tions are that they will have to
pump the water from considerable
ground before they can resume
operations in sinking.
re Blonde mine has been pointed
to in wonder for nearly 90 years. 1t
has put forth the the real stuff
like water flowing from spring.
Some few months ago, however,
the owners of this mine believing
that the deposits Of ore had been
exhausted, leased the mine to their
employees, and the new leasers have
made two sales. For the last car
load they received the handsome
sum Of $50 a ton. This is claimed
by some to be the highest price re-
ceived for jack in the section. The
leasers are: NJ Blades, D. Meloy,
R. Fairy, j. Perkins, and T. Per-
kins.
The Empire declared their month
ly dividend of $1,000. Stock
holders are refusing 5000. 90 share
for the stock. valuing the shares
at 100000 the dividends are bring
ing the stockholders 40 per cent.
The Enterprise mine is turning
out its usual large quantity of high
grade ore some of which has recent
~ sold as high as $50 per ton. The
company declared a dividend of SIS
per share on 500 shares for the
month ending February Is.
In spite of the cold weather and
scarcity of fuel the Empire mine
has been running full blast though
unable to ship any ore. This COM
pany now has upwards of $4,000
worth of ore in transit and in their
bins.
The pumps at the Hazel Green
mine, although still operated by
gasoline power, are lowering the
water rapidly and 1t is expected
that all the water will be out of the
mine by the time the new steam
power plant is ready for operation.
The two 100-horse power boilers and
one $50 horse power Corliss engine
have arrived and are being put into
running order.
The compound crab to handle the
pumps with has arrived for the JEFF
ferson mine. This mechanism avoids
accidents, saves time and is said to
be absolutely safe. The mine,
though temporarily closed will re-
opened by the middle of March after
the arrival of coal, the erection of
additional buildings and necessary
repairing.

NORTH ANDOVER.

Mrs. L. J. Ryan deserves the dis
tinction of having pulled off one of
the happiest social events even
known in this village. On Feb. %
she gave a Washington's birthday
dinner in the Metropolis hall, which
was voted by the $50 guests to be
the SWEETEST affair of the kind
ever seen here.
The dinner was a benefit for the
Ladies Aid society, which is the
strongest ladies' organization in the
village.
The large hall and the five long
tables were beautifully decorated
with the national colors. Guests
were met at the door by four ladies
in colonial costume, who took their
height and compelled them to pay
four cents per foot, and an extra
cent for each additional inch. Each
guest was given beautiful hand
painted souvenir Ratchet, upon
which was recorded height and
price. At each plate was a napkin
folded into Geo. Washington hat,
with a miniature flag attached. The
center piece on each table was a
huge pile Of apples, with many little
flags stuck in between.
The dinner was so tempting that
nearly everybody ate too much; but
the good will and laughter which
prevailed all through the meal was
such an aid ID digestion that no ill
effects were experienced.
Following was the menu, which
was served in courses by a lot of
handsome WATERS:
Cream of Celery Soup
Roast Goose Roast Chicken
Mashed Potatoes
Cabbage Salad
Rolls and Butter
Pickles Olives
ISL balIS OySC0r hOIIS
Plum Pudding with Lemon Sauce
Ice Cream with Sugared Cherries
and Spray of Asparagus Fern
Cream Cake Devils Food
Coffee.
The social side of the meeting was
something pleasant to think about,
and altogether the affair was such
a success that everybody is hoping
that the ladies will have another
dinner of this nature before long.
But they will be obliged to charge
more next time, if they wish to
realize much profit on the venture.

There is a cow in one of the
small Missouri towns that has the
habit of catching chickens and eat

bought large supply of roosters
and put them in the barnyard, in
the hope that the cow would catch
and eat some of them, and then
give cocktails instead of milk.
