w. J. Brennan appeared for de-
PENDANT. After the usual formalities
had gone through with Sam plead
guilty to charge of embezzlement,
the amount being placed at $50
worth Of Rockefeller's oil sold to
Harry Barnett. This stipulation
was made TO let Sam Off as easy as
possible, as 6 months IL county jail
or a year at penitentiary is the
limit for this offense. 1t was coup
on part of defendants attorney and
defendant comes out lucky, for he
was originally charged with steal
ing $135 worth of kerosene. Rich
ards will remain in jail until Judge
Llementson returns. when he will
probably plead guilty and receive
sentence as above stated.
We are pleased to note a deter
mination on the part of our citizens
in general, and the ladies in particu-
lar, to plant flowers and beautify our
City of the Dead. This is certainly
most commendable but there is a Sc
quel to the story. Occasionally peo-
pie visit our cemetery from other
counties and pluck these flowers.
We say they come from other coun-
ties because it is not possible that
we have those in our own county so
low down IN the scale of humanity
that they would steal flowers from
the dead. Let no one pluck flow
er in our cemetery. To steal from
the living is bad enough but to
steal from the dead muItiplies the
enormity of the crime.
"A very pretty wedding occurred
at the home of Mrs. John Mcmahon
in the 4th ward Wednesday even
ing at o'clock, Miss Lille Mcmahon
becoming the bride of Mr.. James
Hore in the presence of rs invited
guests and relatives, Rev. Morgans
officiating. Many valuable presents
were received. The happy couple
will go to house keeping on the
Bennett farm ID North Lancaster,
recently purchased by the groom.
THE Spinsters' Return" home
talent production, at Reeds opera
house Saturday evening drew a
large crowd as all home talents do
IN Lancaster. 1t was greatly en-
ioyed by an appreciative audience
and the ladies Of st. Agnes guild |
will clear about SIS after all ex-
penses are paid. For this substantial
aid they are each and everyone
truly grateful.
The public schools re-opened |
Monday after the Easter vacation
Of weeks. Nine weeks more will |
complete the year. The only change
in the faculty is that of Mr.. Baker,
who takes Miss Kent's place in the
high school
The election is now over and |
many towns have gone dry that
used TO have liquor licenses and
others have gone for liquor which |
were dry. As a whole though, |
temperance made gains.
"A Maine newspaper says the |
way TO make cat stay at home is
to grease its feet, and "woman's
page" editor cruelty suggests that
wives ought to try that treatment |
on their husbands.
Every citizen of Lancaster
should constitute himself a commit
tee of one to boom Lancaster. No
back talk allowed, just keep on
booming the best city in southern |
Wisconsin.
Sheriff Budworth has taken 3 |
insane patients to Mendoza hospital
since Jan. 1st last. Seems to be in
the air. Better move to Texas,
where they have no such trouble.
The Herald has a big run on
horse bills. Our unexcelled facil1-
ties for prompt and efficient work
with fine lot of new cuts is APP

Farmers are reporting smaller
turnout Of young pigs sthis spring
thus far than usual. This may be
the sign of light corn crop.
The farmer who fails to APP
preciate the value OF good roads in
his community is not alive to his
own best interests.
The annual thank offering
service of the w. T. NJ. s. will be
held April 14th at the NJ. E. church

Some fears are still expressed
that spring will yet have TO back up
