In 1905 there were 20 cheese
factories and SO creameries in the
county. It is one of the foremost
wool-producing counties in the state.
Tt is located in the lead zinc belt of
the state, and mining is one OF the
chief industries of the county. There
is a very wide range in prices OF
land owing to the uneven surface
and diversified soil. For unimproved
land which can be made tillable,
prices range from s. to $S5 per
acre. For improved farm lands,
the price averages over 800 per
acre with some sales recorded at as
high as 5000 per acre. The county
seat is Lancaster.
Lancaster while second IN popula-
ton, is the county seat and in some
respects the most important town
in the county. Its population IN
1905 was 1855 while that of Platte
vile was 443S. Both have increased
considerably since the census was
taken. The population for the
entire County is given as follows:

Facts About Manure Spreaders.

The foundation of q house or any
other article represents it's life and
strength. The foundation of the
front eud of the Great Western
manure spreader is the double oak
bolster which carriers the front end
of the machine and load. This
spreader costs more than any other
to make, but when buying a big
machine like a manure spreader a
few dollars extra in the cost is a
small item if for every dollar extra
it costs you get $500 in value.
That's what you get in the Great
Western.

Mrs. Abbie T. Hoxie Has Sued
Her Husband for Divorce
Following Scandal.
GROUNDS FOR COMPLAINT.
BATHING SUIT EPISODE AND TEL
EPHoNE CONVERSATION ARE
BROUGHT FORTH IN THE DocU-
MENT-TRIAL WILL BE IN MAY.

Portsmouth, n. H., March There
is to be a reopening of the sensation
al Hoxie-Walker case. Unsuccessful
in her $4,000 alienation suit against
the beautiful and wealthy Mrs. Mary
f. Walker, of Elyria, Ohio, widow OF
Arthur w Walker, the New England
lumber king, Mrs. Abbie I. Hoxfe has
sued her husband, Joseph Hoxie, the
artist, for divorce.
She filed her petition yesterday and
Tecounts all Of the lurid charges made
in the alienation suit. She pays par
tic liar attention TO the necklace
phoae conversation, and swears that
she heard Mrs. Walker over the phone
say to her husband: Don't you want
to come over and fan me, dear, I've
nothing on but my necklace and ear
rings" She insists that such con-
versation leads to the presumption
that her husband and Mrs. Walker
were intimate.
She also recalls the bathing suit
episode and adds 10 it by alleging
that her husband met the butler and
his friend while they were carrying
Mrs. Walker home, and that Hoxie
helped Mrs. Walker into the house
and then helped her off with the dam
aged bathing suit and boomers.
Mrs. Hoxie also goes over all the
"phone KISSES" with exclamations of
"Dearie, dearie, dcarie," and CONVEX
sations. and winds up by charging
that "the defendant was unfafthful to
the plaintiff daily and sometimes oft,
ener. and that in each and every case
the correspondent was Mrs. Mary F.
Walker.
The case will come up for trial in
May 1t is likely to exceed the alien,
alton suit in sensations.

LITTLE THINGS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

they will further enhance her charms.
Feathers, aigrettes and butterflies may
be all right for the matron, but for
herself she chooses a half wreath
formed of tiny flowers, and she places
it coquettishly in her fluffy hair and
goes forth to conquer. She attaches d
knot of ribbon where it will do the
most good, and perhaps there is a ro-
settle at either end. The hair orna-
ment is now a recognized feature of
the evening costume, and woman
does not consider her toilette cOmplet-
ed until she adjusts the particular
flower or feather that is to finish off
her couture Much taste is shown in
the arrangement of these hair Orna-
ments, and some very attractive ones
have been seen lately. The illustra-
lions show few OF the most popular
STYLES. Any clever girl can make up
her own ornaments with a few deft
twists of ribbon and a cluster of rose
buds or other small, dainty blossoms.
