was a very elaborate collation.. Sew
eral of the young men were not sat
isfied with the wines which were sery
ed and coolly ordered the waiter to
bring them their favorite beverages.
Their host overheard them, turned
promptly and addressed them:
you've made a mistake, gents, "
he said. this is private residence,
not a bar"
II was a vulgar rebuke, but justi-
fed. To make matters worse, however,
the daughter Of the house the next
day wrote a note to one of the men
who had been rebuked, apologizing for
her fathers remark, which she ended
by saying:
You really must excuse papa. The
reason of his apparent lack of hos

A good story on the wife of an army
officer of high rank has recently leaked
out. 1t appears that the officer, wdo
is a general and friend of the presi-
dent, and his wife were dining at the
home of a member Of the cabinet. The
president was present and the wife of
the army officer sat next him. During
the course of conversation the talk
turned to Cuba. where the general and
his wife had been during the winter
for brief visit. Suddenly the lady in
question turned TO President Roosevelt
and said
Cuba is such a delightful place.
Were you ever there, Mr.. President. "
For moment the guests who sat
within hearing distance of the remark
were spellboHnd, but then the humor
of the situation proved too much for
them and shout of laughter went up
in which the president himself Joined.
What the general said to his wife

is not a matter of record, but it is un-

taIity Saturday Night,

More TIM two hundred representa-
tive citizens of Tucson were present

night when, for the first time, Tue
sons new social organization extend
ed it's hospitality.
The handsome building was abiaze
with lights from the basement to the
topmost beams of the pergola, crown
ing the roof garden, says the Citizen.
The guests were welcomed to every
part of the structure and expressions
of surprise and qualification Were
heard on every side as inspection
brought 10 view the many excellent
features embodied in the completed
club house.
No set program was arranged. The
visitors entertained theI selves stroll
ing about and chatting until refresh
ments were served in the spacious din
ing hall, after which they reassembled
in the library and lounging rooms. Al
bert Steinfeld, upon behalf of the club,
addressed a few graceful remarks TO
the company giving way TO Hon. John
NJ. Ormbsy. who introduced the speak
ers following him.
Colonel William Herrin praised the
miracle working younger generation
of Tucson business men, among whom
he himself claimed membership de
spite the goodly years to which he at
the same time plead guilty. Colonel
Herring is always a graceful and effec-
tive speaker. His remarks were hear
tily applauded.
Following him Hon Eugene S. Ives
drew a favorable comparison between
the Old Pueblo club and many Of the
famous metropolitan organizations.
Mr. Ives spoke enthusiastically of the
progressive spirit manifest among
Tucson citizens and predicted far
greater achievements for the future.
Hon. Marcus A. Smith, Arizona 5
delegate, was introduced by Mr.. OTms-
by as Our Mark" Taking up the
wonder working theme touched upon
by a previous speaker Mr.. Smith re-
viewed the various stages of progress
of Tucson as evidenced upon his re-
| turn, from time TO time, from con
! gressional sessions. Business blocks,
| hotels, trolley line, etc, had grown mp
almost over night and now the really
metropolitan feature of a handsome,
weIl-appointed club house, such as is
| scarcely to be found in another city
of our present pOulation in the cOun-
! try, was the crowning surprise. Mr..
Smith spoke of the nearing culmina-
! ton of Arizona's long statehood fight
and assured the company that works
such as are constantly going forward
| in Tucson and throughout the terri
/ tory of which the Old Pueblo club is
| but an instance. were the strongest ar,
gument and evidence in his effort tC
| convince his fellow congressman OF
| AriZona's fitness for statehood. Dele
gate Smiths words were most hearti
! ly applauded.
A few appropriate remarks from
Manager Morell ended the addresses
Shortly before midnight the assem-
blage broke up and the hOuse-warm
ing ended. The club is now regularly

Killed by a Train.

Chas. Harvey, of this city, re-
ceived this week the sad news of the
tragic death of his grandson, John
Henry Butterworth, who is employ
ed at Logan. Iowa. A Logan paper
in part has the following to say of
the accident. 1.-THE people of
Logan were shocked last Saturday
morning, June 6th) when they
learned that during the previous
night John Henry Butterworth had
been run over and killed by the No.
9 east bound G. 81 n. w. passenger
train. On account OF the heavy
rain Friday night at about eleven
o'clock, he with all the section men
were ordered out to watch the
track. He was found by the other
section men soon afterward hav-
ing been instantly killed by
the midnight passenger train.
His body was cut in two, one leg
cut off and the skull was badly
crushed. The noise of a freight
train which was passing at the time,
at which the accident occurred, to-
gether with the fury of the storm
evidently prevented him hearing
the passenger train which came up
behind him. He leaves to mourn
his sudden departure, his wife,
Viola May, and a three year old
child Esther, besides his mother,
the wife of Rev. William Edwards,
pastor of the Baptist church of this
place, his father. John Cooper But
terworth having died February LIST,
1892. Funeral services were held at
three o'clock Sunday afternoon at
the Baptist church and were In
charge of Rev. Graves of the M. E..
church. The body was buried in
the Logan cemetery" Mr.. Butter
worth was we'll known in this city,
having resided here a number of
years. He was SO years old at the
time of his death.

GETTING READY NOW
TO BOOM THE FAIR
Will be Held In Lancaster Sept.
I'd, Sd and 18th.
Work Upon the Premium List is Now i'm
Progress Some Big Attractions
are Secured.

When President Roosevelt adj
dressed the people of Michigan at
the State Agricultural college, last
fall, he said to his farmer audience.
Read the second chapter of Aunt
Jane of Kentucky"
The second chapter of AUNT
Jane OF Kentucky" is interesting, so
is the whole book, for that matter,
but there is another chapter in the
same book where Aunt Jane tells
OF the enjoyment she used to have
at the old fashioned country fairs.
She had thoroughly good time at
it every minute of the day, and the
children enjoyed it, and the men
from the farms and villages enjoyed
1T, and when the gates closed upon.
the evening of the last day they
began looking forward with pleasant
anticipation to the fair of the next
year.
Times and conditions change and
in some respects the kind of fairs
OF long ago would not satisfy audi
ences of today, but the fair that
lends hearty encouragement to the
farmers in the exhibit Of their
products, that aids in stimulating
interest in the production of higher
qualities of all kinds Of stock and
shows a genuine desire to promote
the interests of the exhibitors.
while at the same time it endeavors
to furnish clean and wholesome
entertainment to all who attend its
meetings, must of necessity occupy
a warm place in the affections of
the community IN which it is held.
Such fair the Grant county
Agricultural Society should and
does aim to be. Changes are being
made IN the list of premiums Of
fered that will prove still more.
attractive to exhibitors than in
former years. Much money is being
devoted to attractive forms of
entertainment and it will be the
purpose of those in charge to make
IT better and more worthy than
ever of patronage of all who live
within reaching distance. Every
farmer within Is or 20 miles of
Lancaster should not only plan to
be present at the fair together with.
members of hiS family but should.
come and make an exhibit of some
of his best stock or agricultural
products. A good fair can be OF
much benefit to the community and
things that are worth while are not
so plentiful as to permit of any of
them being neglected.
Work on the premium lists will
begin this week Bear the dates in
mind-Sept. 3, and 4 and begin
now to make your plans to be here
on those days

CASSVILLE.
Correspondence to the Herald.

Special Correspondence to the Herald.
Fine weather we are having for
rowing crops since the latter rain.
The river is very high and still
rising and John Moore's land op-
posite Cassville, where hundreds of
bushels of sweet corn were raised
for canning factory here last year
is under water, and the prospect is
that all the Mississippi bottom lands
will be useless for any crops this
year.
The Steamer Eclipse took an ex-
cUrsion from here to Prairie du
Chen last Sunday, the 18th, where
Cassville Blues played base ball with
the Prairie du Chen team. A large
number from Cassville took advant-
age of the trip.
E. Rockefeller and Mike Brown,
while quarrying rock on Mr.. Rookie
feller's land found some fine pieces
of black jack, but whether there is
enough to pay for working it out
remains to be seen.
Cassville has concluded not to
celebrate the 4th this year and most
every one is talking about attend
ing the Home Coming week at Ian
caster this year.
The foundation for the new
creamery, which in size is 18x52 #.
is complete and of concrete. Wall
Jensens with his force Of men did
the work.
Our schools closed last Friday
with grand picnic in the grove
below town; lemonade and other
refreshments we're served and every
one seemed to have good time.
Childrens' day was observed in
the Baptist church last Sunday
evening. A goodly number attended
and the children deserve credit for
the well learned pieces spoken.
The choir furnished excellent music
with Miss Grimm at the organ
There is talk among the laboring
men in CassviIIe of organizing what
might be called home supplying
and laboring mans association. A
meeting will be called in the near
future to that effect.
Dan Fisher from near Mccartney
purchased fine horse and a top
buggy and harness. Consideration
$75. Dan says he is going to take
his best girl to the Homecoming
week at Lancaster.
There will be no preaching at the
NJ. E church next Sunday as the
pastor. Rev. Waiter Snow, will at
tend the Epworth League conven-
ton held at Boscobel on that day.

LIQUOR LICENSES
GRANTED BY COUNCIL
Will be the Same Number of
Saloons as Last Year.
Electric Lighting Proposition Made by
the Council Turned Down
by Light Company.

An adjourned session of the city
council was held Monday evening,
the MAN business being a consider
alton of the applications for saloon
licenses. When Mayor Bennett
called to order only six aldermen
-esponded Eastman and Knox be-
ing absent. Applications were
made by Fred A. Wenzel, John
Schmidt, Blewett Bros, George
Rudersdorf, August Wenzel Ed
wards Bros. and Sever Olsen, the
latter being the recent purchaser OF
R. n. Trentzsch's place, ard it was
voted to grant a license 10 each OF
them to carry on a retail liquor
business in the city during the year
beginning July z, provided they
furnish satisfactory bonds and COM
ply with other necessary conditions
A numerously signed petition
asking that permission be grant
ed for the saloons to be kept
open on Homecoming week until
IL o'clock midnight, was laid on the
table by a vote of five to one. No
such PERMISSION is possible at the
hands Of the council under the exist
ing ordinances. and the only way 1T
could be done is by the enacting
of a new ordinance. The council
thought this would be unwise and
would let down the bars for similar
requests at fair time and other &C.
casions which it would be hard to
refuse If this be granted.
Mayor Bennett reported the sub
mission to the Electric Light COM
pany of the proposition decided
upon by the committee of the whole
of the council, viz the furnishing
of As arc lights until 1890 as at
present, and morning street light
ing during four winter months,
with free lights on first floor OF city
hall the city to pay for such service
$50 per arc. This proposition
the company declines to accept. 1t
was voted to continue the commit
tee of the whole in further consider
alton of the matter.
The board of public works was
instructed to take up further CORE
spondence relative to the purchase
of pipe and other supplies for the
water works extension.
Prof. Turneare, of the Wisconsin
University informed the council
that he would send man here to
morrow to superintend the altera-
tions in the sewer system.
