obituary-Ivey.

Eugene j. Ivey passed away at
his summer home at Lake Harriet,
near Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 9Th
1907, aged % years.
Eugene was a former Lancaster
boy and worked for L. Alt for three
years before leaving here in 1897 at
the age of Is to learn the oonfect1on-
ers trade going into business a year
later in Minneapolis.
A bright happy boy full of hope
and ambition, he won many friends
especially among the business men.
Honest and upright he was success
ful from the start and for the last
four years was foreman of the con-
dictionary department of r. NJ.
Chapmans large business. He was
married in 1901 to Miss Jennie
CIamam of Indianapolis, Ind.
About six months ago his health
failed and his physicians pronounced
his ailment tuberculosis. Since
then he has lived in the open air
and ali tnat medical aid and loving
care could do has been done to
recure recovery, but God knew best
and Eugene gave himself up entire
ly to His keeping in strong faith
that the sweet rest with God would
be his if life was not spared to him
here.
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife
and two little girls, his mother,
Mrs. Ella Meyer of this city, a
sister Mrs. B. A. Sheppard and a
brother Clyde of Minneapolis, all of
whom were with him during the
last days of his sickness and at his
death. His funeral was largely at
tended by his business associates
whose floral gifts were beautiful and
numerous.

MAKE A RAID

Along about fair time when the
frost is on the pumpkin and the corn
is in the shock lot of fellows get
that old time inclination to risk a
little money on a game OF chance,
It's bred in 'em and they are bound
TO gamble to certain extent. Lam
casters saloons have abolished all
gambling and games of chance,
earring punishment from the powers
hat be, therefore certain local
.ttorney allowed the use of his
)fice Thursday evening for roul-
cite wheel. The local sporting
paternity as we'll as many from
urrounding towns took advantage
i the opportunity to relieve that
0nging for Iucre thus offered, and
COX park in the playing.
The lawyers Office was busy
llace for several hours. Sheriff
3udworth, however, got wind of
he proceeding and With warrant
or the arrest of the bunch, made a
aid upon the quarters.
The raid was unlocked for, not
anticipated and a complete surprise
o the play ers and spectators,
The sheriff and his deputies
bowed no mercy and not one of
he % inmates of the place escaped.
Not desiring to be imprisoned the
defendants desired immediate hear
ng and Sheriff Budworth accom-
nodated them by sending a mes
ienger for Justice Shreiner, who
anne upon the scene shortly.
All were gwen temporary liberty
lnder bonds furnished and at 1 p
n. on the following day Dist. Atty.
KOpp, who had been previously
.Otifed OF the arrests, made his ap-
,earance and took charge of the
rOceedings.
The defendants plead guilty, and
out of the % were given a fine o
% and costs, each which they all
aid. The proprietor was bound
yer to trial in circuit court under
1nds OF $500, which he secured
ithOut trouble.

Coal Famine.

The railroads have many sins to
answer for but 1t is certainly not
fair to charge up winter coal
famine to them in advance of such
a calamity. The railroads under
the law cannot be coal dealers and
therefore it is not their duty to
carry coal unless it is shipped by
some firm or Individual. Secretary
Wilson who has been travelling in
the western states reports upon his
return to Washington that the peo-
pie out here are uneasy and APP
preheusive of a coal famine this
winter. AS the people Of the west
are prosperous why do not the ap-
pIehensive ones order their coal
now instead of waiting until winter
comes? Provident people buy their
coal in the summer when it is
cheaper and if these who have the
means to lay in stock have done
so and the dealers have their usual
winter supply on hand for the
poorer purchasers to buy from hand
to mouth then there should be no
coal famine. 1t is to be presumed
that coal ordered now would be de-
ivered in the ordinary course of
freight delivery. IT however there
is unusual delay there will be cause
for complaint and the railroads will
be responsible. When snow block
AIDES come it is impossible to run
freight trains with regularity and
nobody knows this better than the
people of the northwestern states
and it is their duty to prepare for
such contingencies and not suffer
through their own shiftlessness and
then blame it on the railroads.
Give the devil his dues and every
one-even the plundering corpora
tions a square deal.

Milwaukee's New Theatre.

Milwaukee can boast of the hand
soonest, safest and most comfortable
theatre in the United States. The
New Star, Third and Wells Street, has
just been completed at a cost of
100000 and is devoted exclusively 80
high class bErlesque and vaudeville.
The many friends and patrons ofthe
Star theatre throughout the State will
be pleased to learn thatGhe old play
house was given up and the new build
ing erected. The present location is in
the heart of the business district and
can be reached in few minutes from
any hotel or depot in thecity. Manager
TrOttman of the New Star has always
aimed to please his out of town
patrons and will continue to do this in
the new quarters.
Owing to the large capacity of the
house he has reduced the prices to ten,
twenty and thirty cents while the
shows will be LiggeF and better than
ever. These shows have all been
rehearsed in New York City and bring
to Milwaukee the latest Broadway
success 5es. Each of them include
twenty-five or more handsome chorus
girls and from ten to fifteen talented
comedians.

COUNTY FAIR

further manipulatlons on part OF
the sporting fraternity during the
remainder of the fair and has been
the subject of much comment since.
SSS
Delos Abrams, former president
of the association, was severely in
iured while witnessing the ball
game Thursday. A foul tip struck
the aged gentleman on the head
and he was placed out of commits
siod for some time. At this writing
he is still suffering pain from the
blow received but fears of any per-
manent injury are allayed.
P. A. Bishop, the well known
auctioneer, acted as starter in the
several races, and gave good salts
faction.
An official publication of premium
awards, baseball scores, accounts of
the races and other fair matters Of
interest, including statement of at
tendance, etc, will appear in the
regular issues of the Herald next
week.
The weather man was decidedly
unkind to the Grant County Agri-
cultural society this year, other
wise the fair held at Lancaster this
week would have been a record
breaker.
Exhibits in every department
were not only numerous, but of
extraordinary quality.
The races were good and lovers of
live stock had difficult task in
picking the winners. 1t is impossible
to give a detailed account Of the
fair in the Herald today, everything
being a day late. On account of
the heavy rain on Wednesday, the
fair was postponed until Thursday.
Thursdays program was pulled off
Friday.
The Lancaster base ball team
landed two victories pulled from
the Pipestone Indians; in a double
header played Thursday. Score:
LIST game to 0; second game to 3.
BAIL pitched the first game Pudding
ton the second. :

Cost of English Paupers.

Some startling figures Of compari-
son have been made to show the great
cost of English paupers. The English
poor law foots up an expense Of more
than S75,000,OO0 a year, which is as
great as the entire annual expenditure
of the kingdom of Holland, almost as
much as that of Australia and New
Zealand combined and equal to the
whole public expenditure of Denmark,
Greece and Norway.
