IN 1887 as bOokkeeper to the com
pany organized to boom Cassville as
a good site for city. He was prom

During his administration there was
a great influx of German settlers to
Wisconsin, who settled along the
western shore of Lake Michigan.
The free school system was also es-
tablished. An attempt was made
to remove the Winnebago indians
to Minnesota to make room for the
incoming population but was only
partially successful. During the
second year building the first rail
road from Milwaukee to Waukesha
was begun. The later years Of his
administration were marked by IN

prises, especially in the southern
part of the state. After he had fin
ished his term as governor he re-
turned to Cassville, where he died.

Royal Neighber Entertainment.

The Royal Ne1ghbors scored
another banner last Friday night at
the Dutch Market. The spacious
G.. A. r. hall was crowded by an
eapreciative audience, and the uni
versal verdict is that any one num-
Der on the program was worth the
price Of admission.

twelve little girls, was the star per-
Torrance, and elected a hearty en-
core. The little ones were trained
by Mrs. Lisherness and Mrs. Addie
Austin. The pathetic song, "Win
the Angels let me play" in which
little Dor othy Mcmahon did some
pretty acting, came next in order of
favor. The march Wind" drill by

Rudson's accomplished piano music,

Teton and Chris Wiesen were voci-
ferously applauded features, and
their generous assistance is warmly
appreciated by the Royal Neighbors
There was a popcorn and candy
booth, booth where fortunes were
told, a booth for aprons and hand
kerchiefs, grab bag, and booths
where Dutch refreshments were
served, all beautifully decorated

RUNAWAY.
While coming in to school Mon

escape in a runaway. One of the
grey horses switched his tail over
the line and they started to run
down the Oscar Knapp hill, the
children being unable to check
them. Part way down the hill
they overlook Ed. Cornell and wife
coming to town, and one of the
horses jumped clear into the back
end Of the wagon, barely missing
two children sitting there. The
carriage at this point was over
turned and luckily the team became
d 9tached. Que wheel and the top
of the buggy were smashed, and the
children were more or less bruised
up. They were very lucky, how
ever.

Linden is distinctly a mining
town. 1t is the industry Of the vii
lage and surrounding country. And
it is making mining pay. The books
show that the Ross mine alone ship
ped twenty cars of ore during the
past month. and the veins in this
mine are widening all the time. The
hobart e K1ckapoo mines have ore
enough in sight TO work one humid
red men and should be an equal, if
not a greater producer with the
Ross. This mine is the last of the
great Linden mines with any stock
on the market and it IS well worth
your time to investigate.
