Two Lancaster young people, Mr..
Fay o. Barstow and Miss Pearl

inst. at Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Miss Jordan was a popular teacher

benefit of her failing health. Mr..
Barstow, who for the past four
years has been a rural mail carrier

decided to carry out their long con-
templated plan of being married.
We understand Mr.. Barstow will
soon resign from the mail service

of these young people have lived
many years in Lancaster, where

Special Correspondence to the Herald.
Wednesday quite a number of

church for the purpose of cleaning
up the church yard and putting up
new hitching tails.
Thursday George Wieland had a
barn raising. After 1t was up some
of the boys were wrestling just in
fun ana George Jackering Jr.,
slipped and fell and broke his ankle
and put it out Of place. DR.. Doolittle
was called and he came and set the
broken bone.
One of the worst storms for years
passed through here Saturday even
ing. Wind, hail and rain came
down with great force. Many
houses had all the window lights
on the west broken. Hay and grain
looks like it had been rolled, and
the corn is pounded into the ground
or cut off. The farmers are feeling
pretty blue.

RID LAWNS OF ANTS.
Prescription Which VIII Quickly Do
Away With Bothersome Pests.

During the present season there
have been heard many complaints
about the manner in which ants are
destroying some Of the finest lawns
in the city, and owners of property
infested by the little insects have in
most instances been powerless to
stop their work. One gentleman,
taking more interest than others,
consulted L Barron's book on
Lawns and How to Make Them, !"
and has found the following which
is considered valuable:
Poison the ants by means Of
carbon bisulphlde. The work can
be quickly accomplished and though
not a particularly pleasant opera
ton is not SO Objectionable that
there is any excuse in avoiding it.
The bisulphide of carbon is a heavy,
colorless. volatile liquid, which
eaisly sinks into the ground, and
the fumes which being heavier than
the air, quickly penetrate down
ward into the most remOt corners
Of the ant runs. One or two table
spoonfuls of the liquid may be care
fully poured into the opening of
the nest and a damp cloth or a
handful of soil should Immediately
be put over it and packed down
tightly.
Nothing else Is necessary. If
one application does not entirely rid
the lawn of these little posts, it is a
simple matter to repeat the attack.
One word of caution in reference to
the handling of this poison. It is
highly inf1ammabIe and the vapor is
dangerously explosive. Be very care
full, therefore, not to use blsulphide
of carbon in the presence of a naked
light, or in the neighborhood of a
fire -

Terrible at McGreRor.

Across the Mississippi from
Prairie ,du Chen, on the Iowa side,
is the little village of McGregor,
situated liz a gulch or draw" run
ming back from the bluffs. The
loss there will reach, it is said,
$500, 900.
Several brick buildings collapsed,
blocks of cement walk were torn up
and feeded into the river.
Stores were flooded from three to
six feet and clerks were compelled
to seek refuge on counters and on
the shelves.
The Temperature, which stood
above 90 all day, dropped to below
SO in less than a hour. A total of
3.47 inches of rain fell in the forty
minutes, during twenty-seven min
utes of which hail stones as large as
walnuts stripped everything bare.
Teams hitched on the streets at
McGregor were drowned and
drivers climbed into trees to save
themselves. In a livery barn a
number of horses were drowned
hitched in their stalls.

Hail Nearly a Foot Deep.

Prairie du Chen seemed to be in
the path of the worst of the storm,
but from its sheltered position did
not fare so badly as at McGregor.
The hail, rain and wind ruined
crops, unroofed buildings, smashed
windows, demolished trees, put the
city light plant out of commission,
blew down telephone wires and
flooded the streets.
Hail nearly a foot deep was piled
up or the walks and trees two feet
in diameter were twisted off and
gardens laid bare. Washouts on
the railroads are numerous and the
storm covered a swath from Glass;
vile to Lynxville, forty five miles
wide and worked from the west to
the east.
The loss in Prairie du Chen will
reach $4,000

After July 1, all of the barber
shops In Lancaster will charge Is

charge for shaving the neck. This
is the price now charged in the

TUESDAYS BALL GAME
WAS THE REAL THING
Lancaster Cleaned Up on Platte
vile 3 to 2.
Great Slab Work Done by Piddington
= Shut Out 81 in First Seven
Innings.

The base ball game played here
Tuesday between Lancaster and
Platteville resulted in a victory for
Lancaster by score of 8 to 3.
The feature of the game was the
great pitching of Piddington. The
big fellow was at his best and in z
innings just 81 men faced the
speedy southpaw. Not a Platteville
man reaching first base.
Up to the eighth it looked as
though ICY" Young's record of a.
no hit, no first base game was go
ing to be equaled. Only four hits
were made off of him and with per
feet support Platteville would have
been shut out. The first hit made.
by Foster, of Platteville, was
scratchy,it being question whether
or not it was a foul. Platteville's 2
runs came IN their last time at bat;
one on muffed pop fly by Madden
and the other on throw over the
infield.
Ovltz, Pennock and Ames were
the batting stars for Lancaster and
Huston pulled off two good catches
in left field AS for Platteville, they
could not hit P1ddington and their
pitcher Negar failed to deliver the
goods with men on bases.
A very good crowd attended
which speaks we'll for the attendance
later on. Those who didn't attend
missed great game.

which the stream flows became
flooded and they took refuge by
climbing into the tree. Here they
sat in the darkness for a couple OF
hours through the furious storm OF
hail and rain, with the rushing
flood beneath them and the vivid
flashes of lightning showed logs and
other debris floating along on the
rushing waters beneath them. The
fishing stopped with all the sud
deness of Grandfather's clock and
the boys came home in a half
drowned condition.

Thrilling Time on the Narrow Garg,


On the narrow gauge road be-
tween Fennimore and Woodman
the evening passenger train ran
into the storm at Conlsy's cut. The
engineer and fireman uncoupled the
engine from the tram, which they
left standing on the track, with
eighteen passengers abroad. They
had gone but a short distance when
food of water six feet deep over
took them, putting out the fires,
and the two were compelled to
roost the remainder of the night on
the roof of the engine cab in the
rain. The passenger coaches be-
came partially filed with water and
the occupants worked like demons
bailing out. The coaches washed
quite 8 distance from the track and
the baggage car tipped over with
three terrified men inside of it, but
they broke. the windows and sue
ceeded in getting out uninjured.

Hurules MIN.

Many of US miss the joys that
might be ours byl keeping our
eye fixed on those of other peo-
pie. No one can enjoy their own
opportunities for happiness while
they are envious of others.
Life has its full measure of hap
piness for every one of us il we
will only determine to make the
very most Of every opportunity
that comes our way instead of
longing for the things that comes
our neighbor's way. Bright,
cheerful, hopeful thoughts are
friends that will insure success.
The ambitious person should
learn as early in life as possible
to pick out the friends and ene-
mics of success and in many
cases it will be found that the
greatest enemy resides within
our selves.
Morbid thoughts are infinitely
greater hindrance to success
than opportunities from out side.
No health, no harmony, no
real success can exist in the at
mosphere of abnormal melan-
choly. Over come the policy
within your own heart and you
will have done much towards
reaching success in life. Let US
believe that there never was a
right thing done or a.worse move
made in vain, although the fruit
of them may not spring up in
the place. designated that the
time expected. Endeavor to be
courteous TO old people, for
courtesy Is the oil that makes the
machinery Of life run smoothly.
There are three things in this
world which deserves no quarter,
hypocrisy. pharisism and ty-
rIiy.
