TALK OF RAILROAD, LAM
CASTER TO DYERSVILLE

The old project of railroad run
ming south and west from Lancaster
is again being revived, and new in
terest is being awakened. The latest
movement is a letter from Chicago, to
the postmaster at Cassville. which
was published last week in the Cass-
Vile Record, and which we republish
herewith, giving the report for what
it is WORTH
''Cassville's fond dream of a rail
road connecting with the county seat
may soon be realized, at least the
indications are that the construction
of railroad in this territory is be
ing contemplated and may materialize
if the promoters are given sufficient
encouragement and financial aid.
The proposed railroad is to be built
from Lancaster to Dyersville, by way
of Casseville and Cclesburg, and the
company which is back of the project,
is seeking informamtion as to the
distance between the different points
and also what route is best between
Cassville and Lancaster.
This information is contained in a
letter, received yesterday by Post
master Kleippell and is written by
the Chicago Construction Company,
with offices in the Champlain Build
ing, 1875 State Street. The letter is
as follows:
Chicago. Sept. IA, 1909
Postmaster, Cassville, Wis.
Dear Strive are contemplate
ing the, building of a railroad from
Lancaster to Dyersville, via. your
place and Colesburg. What is the
distance from your place to Lancas-
ter. also to Colesburg2 What route
is the best between your place and
Lancaster.
Will you kindly give US your
opinion as to the best place to cross
the river with a railroad and wagon
bridge in Grant county, and what
aid do you think your people would
give to such a project, if properly
handled2 What financial man in
your neighborhood would be most
likely to look with favor upon this
proposition
Thanking you in advance for your
reply, we remain,
Very truly yours,
Chicago Construction Co.,

Obituary---W. P. DurIey.

w. P. Durley, one of the Oldest
soldiers of Grant county, was born in
New Harmony Posey Co. Ind, Oct
~, 1880, and came to this country
with his parents Robt. and Melinda
Durley in May 1884, at the age of 4
years, settling on farm on Little
Platte s miles south of PlattevIlle.
During the gold excitement he crossed
the plains and spent 8 years in
California. Aug. is, 1861 he enlisted
in Co. G. 7th Regiment Wis. Vol. Inf.
and was honorably discharged, March
10th, 1853, serving his country faith
fully and we'll. Mr.. hurley was
twice wounded. first at the battle of
Gainesville Aug. Goth, 1862; and he
also received a gun shot wound at the
battle of South Mountain Sept. 4th.
1852, from which he suffered more or
less during his life, and only those of
his own household realized how in
tense we're his sufferings. On July
4th, 1865, he was united in marriage
to Miss Harriet Hoadley by Rev.
Stoddard at GAINESVILLE, Wis. To this
union was born 5 children, viz. ::
Geo. H. Durley. Tioga, N. D. Kobt.
Harry, Potosi, Wis. Mrs. Jennie M.
Alcott, Livingston Mrs. Lou
Dechow, Tioga, N, D., and Ralph
Edgar. who died in infancy. The
children were all privileged to be
with their father and care for Elm
during his illness, as was also his
cousin B. "A. Bailey, who was so
faithful during his illness. For
years W. P DurIey was Register of
Deeds of Grant Co. and made most
efficient officer; he afterward moved
on his farm and later on to Platte
Vile, until his removal to Potosi
about Is years ago, where he resided
until his demise. In the early part
of May Mr.. Durley was taken sick as
the family were preparing to more
to Tioga. N. D., to make their home
with their daughter, Mrs. Lou
Dechow. Mrs. Durley went on, he
expecting to follow soon but such was
not to be. as gangrene soon developed
IN his left foot; he was hurriedly
taken to Finley hospital, Dubuque,
but his condition was SO serious as
not to warrant an operation and he
was remved to his home and given the
best of care and attention. For
while he seemed to be improving and
hopes were entertained for his re-
covery, but on Thursday. Sept. 9th,
he was taken with a chill and near
ing the close of the day he calmly
and peacefully passed away. Mr.
Durley was a kind husband and
father. good neighbor and friend,
and his kindly nature and keen sense

fact that their manager, Monte Bales,
was injuIe1 early in the game was
offered as an excuse for their becUm-
ing discouraged but there was no
good reason. for such an action on
their part.
The spectators were disguised with
them and by the time the Dixon team
had put the finishing touches on the
10 to polishing, most of the crowd
had left the field.
In the fourth inning Manager
Monte Bales got in the way of one of
McKees shoots. the ball striking him a
terrible blow directly over the heart.
For a t1meit was thought that he
was injured internally and perhaps
fatally but this was not found to be
the case on examination.
Although the Browns outclassed
Galena in every department the game
should not have been walk-away for
them. AS many spectator expressed

Some Special Premium Winners.

Among the exhibits made at the
fair for special premium offers, the
most widespread interest appears to
have been taken in the offers made

specials offered by 7. F. Orton. the
Arlington Milling Co., and John
Schreiner q Sons.
The Banks offer was three per

In a way Galena redeemed itself
for the exhibition the day previous.
There were certain innings when
the result might be said to
have been in doubt. Toward the
latter part of the game, for instance,
Galena, through poor throwing and
errors by Dixon. secured lead o.
several runs but the Browns hac
little trouble in boosting the score
and winning out to g.
This game, although as we have
said, was close at times. was en-

as features.

THURSDAYS BALL GAME

Neither OF the ball games at the
fair were entirely satisfactory,
although the second was much more
interesting than the first. The big
crowds in attendance were prepared
for close, exciting contests on both
days, but were disappointed.
The first day the Dixon Browns
managed to get the start on their
opponents and, after they had scored
two or three runs the Galena players
gave up all hope and quit. The

SUCCESS CAME SURE
TO FAIR LAST WEEK
The Attendance Was Large and
Weather Fine.
Biggest and Finest Exhibits in All De-
partments That Have Been
Made In Years.

The management of the Grant
County Agricultural Society has good
and sufficient reason for qualification
over the success that attended the
54th annual fair, given in Lancaster
on Thursday and Friday of last week.
The exhibits in nearly every depart
ment were larger than for a number
of years past, in some of the depart
ments very much larger, and were
also of a high order of excellence.
The weather was ideally fine. The
rains of Sunday and Monday and the
threatening clouds OF Tuesday gave
wav to sunshine in abundance on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
and this brought the desired success.
Wednesdays crowd was at least as
large as usual, while on Friday the
attendance was beyond standard, over
5000 people being on the grounds &C
aording to the offers estimates.
The art hall displays were the best
they have been in years and hundreds
of beautiful specimens of patient and
skiIlful handiwork were shown. The
China painting and other articles in
the art department were also beauti-
full. The mercantile displays In the
hall were high class and attracted
much attention.
The fruit and vegetable displays
were unusually good and showed that
the farmers are giving more attention
to such matters than has been the
case in former years. The culinary
display was especially large this year,
the special premiums offered by the
business men doing much to enhance
the interest in this department.
The department of live stock was
we'll filled in the various classes. and
the excellence of the stock was such
as to do credit to old Grant county.
The cavalcade of premium winning
stock, which was made down the
home stretch of the race track an
= excited much favorable comment.
And at that only a small percentage
of the stock was represented in the
cavalcade, owing to the difficulty in
getting persons to lead the various
animals around
The special attractions seemed
to please the crowd. The DeLano
Bros. herculean gymnasts, did some
new and striking feats and Rollo, who
made slide down a steep descent
upon roller skates, looping the gap
with a back somersault and landing
safely upon the second incline, where
he was caught by an assist ant,
furnished a thriller both afternoons.
THE RACES.
While the entries in the horse
races were not numerous. tire racing
exhibition was good. with one or two
senatorial finishes. This was parti-
cularly true of the 2:3O pace on
Thursday when King Donald, owned
by VIM. Dyer, of this city, came
under the wire a winner by only a
nose length over Annie Mason. He
won first money in the race.
On Friday there were not sufficient
entries in the rs trot to fill and a
special race was made up as a
substitute. 1t had six starters and
took four heats to decide, being won
by Annie Mason.
A summary of the racing events
is given herewith:

A PLEASANT REUNION.

Three sisters, the daughters OF a
former prominent and well-known
resident of Bloomsbury, spent last
week together in town. They
were Mrs. Clark Kashner who re-
sides here, Mrs. Ida Brown OF

day was a brave soldier, a good
lawyer, a member of the Legislature

was known all over the state. He
was the editor and owner of THE

EELS STOP WATER WHEEL.
Got Into Water Wheel at Light Street
Necessary to Cut Them Out.

A number of large cells getting
into the water wheel at the Light
Street paper mill almost resulted in
the suspension of operations at the
mill and caused no end of trouble
for the persons entrusted to the
care of the water wheel.
The wheel is used to operate the
centrifugal pump which in turn is
used to pump water for the Use OF
the mill. Late at night it was no
ticed that the water supply was no,
as great as it should be and an ex.
animation showed that a number ol
large eels had come into the race
and gotten into the water wheel
clogging it up. To again place il
in operation it was necessary to cut
the eels out with a butcher knife
and as some could not be reached
it was necessary to take the whee
partially apart.

AURORA B0REALIS SEEN

A brilliant display of the aurora
borealis was seen i'll the northern
sky on Monday night about mid
night by those who did not happen
to be asleep at that hour. The
phenomenon was exceptionally
bright and lasted for a couple of
hours. In its first stages, great
waves of light fickered up from
the horizon and spread themselves
i'll fan shape toward the zenith,
then disappeared, to be followed
by others. This mysterious glow
was later accompanied by cluster
of long bright rays in fan shape,
resembling a battery of search
lights set at the horizon, securing
the heavens in all directions. Prob
ably very few persons witnessed
the display, but those who were
fortunate were treated to sight
which, in brilliancy, is unusual i'll
this latitude.
