As we go to press Bingville is undergoing one of the worst ice famines which she has ever experi- enced in her experience as thriv- ing and enterprising town. The reason for this ice famine is appar- ent even to a cashual observer and the reason is as follers:
 Folks hereabouts didn't put up enough ice last winter to last thro- ugh the present summer.
 We have had considerable hot weather this summer. several spells of weather being exceeding oppres- sive, as you might say, and as a result nearly the last cake of ice which was put up in Bingville last winter has melted and now there ain't no icey and here we be right in the most hottesv porshion of the year. This is simply ridiculous.
 Last week the Ladies Aid of the Bingville church talked of giving a ice, cream festival on the church lawn last Satterday ev'g but when somebuddy askt them where they was going to percure ice to make the ice cream out of they stood agast and realized that there wasn't any ice in Bingville to be had and so the ice cream festival which was to be give to raise little money to pay Rev. Moore porshion of his back salery which has been owed to him for To, these many years, was give up in disgust. This is purity howdy-do ain't it?
 If person even wants little ice to keep their butter cool or to make ice water or if a person takes sick and wants some ice for medicinal purposes what are they going to do l-pine away and die? Probably. There's poor Bill Hepburn, our artistick blacksmith. Bill has been going to the co. seat every Satter- day to get full for so long that it has got to be a habit with him and Tiff it wasn't for ice Bill could of scairsely survived some of his sprees. Bill says when he gifts up Sunday morning with a head on him as big as a barrel and his head aching him like a old holler tooth there is nothink will give him relief but to put a cake of ice on his head and hold it there until his throbbing temples ceases to throb, but now all of Bills ice has went and melted on him owing to the sultry weather, and so Bill has to bear his head aches in silence like marter and he says he cal<ilates that he will haft to give up the drink habit unless he can get some ice somers.
 ] This ice famine in Bingville ort to be a awful lesson to our resi-

REV. MOORE CALLING.

Rev. Moore, the beloved pastor of the Bingville church, desires us to pub iickly announce that he will begin to make his regular annual pastoral calls in a few days and hopes to find the
 members of his flock at home. Rev
 Moore will try to manage to call on YOU about meal time and will remain and break bread with you if pressed to do so. Please be ready for him with a last years spring chicken if convenient. The church still owes our pastor considerable back salary and he is willing to ta.~ a porshion of this out in square meals until further mo- tice. Please be at hom, when he calls,

Lost a OK

Buck Henderson lost a OK by deth recent, which is a big calamity to Buck. being as the dead OK was formerly one of a matched pair of steers which he used in his farm work. The OK got into the barn becux Buck left the door open and broke into the. oats bin and ct oats until 1t foundefed and died on his hands. You can scarcely blame the OK for doing this, being as # ain't often it gifts a chanse to eat all 1t wants.

it should be. An evenings diversion,

Mr.. and Mrs. Stoney were married on
the 7tn of September 1884 and had
plannedto give party on their 25th
anniversary, but something happened
which caused them to give it up. So
their friends thought that as Mr..
Stoney's birthday occurred on Sept. 8
they would go and surprise them, but

asleep and they Caught onto" the
intended surprise and when their
friends arrived they were ready and

SLICK SCHEME is STOPPED

A fraud order has been issued by

himself as a manufacturer agent
who would supply groceries and
merchandise of all kinds to the con-
sumner, direct from the factory, doing
away with the many profits paid to

that this pretense is false and fraudu-

lieve that it is a valid excuse for
raising the price of wooden cloth.
Nobody would give them the 5000
100000 of clear profit except for
political lies; and when those politi-
cal lies get the endorsement of SEN

great many of the American people
and they will probably pay the
5000, 000,0 900, or part of it, and
these dealers will declare a hand

be misled, not by the original state

endorsement by senators, and they
will pay money, which will add to
the profit of the dealers"

feature of this compilation is that
capital and surplus have by no means
kept pace with deposits, capital in

LANCASTER'S BIG FAIR
IS AT HAND AGAIN
Prospects Are Excellent for a.
: Record Breaking Event
If the Weather Man Will Only be Kind
and Let the Sun Shine for
About Three Days.

The season for fairs held this
so far DIS the weather has been con-
cerned, and all of our neighboring
towns-Boscobel. Platteville and
Bloomington have met with results
more or less disastrous because of
rain, which can make remarkable
inroads upon the financial outcome of
any fair in very short order. What
the result will be in the Lancaster
event-the 54th annual fair of the
Grant County Agricultural Society,
which opens its gates today, is yet
something of problem.
This is the day for making entries
at the fair ;tur several days past Score
tary G. B. Zeigler and his assistant.
John Stone, have been busy in enter
ing upon the society's books the ad-
vance entries that have been made
and preparing the tags therefor. They
report these advance entries as being
considerably larger than those of
and with the splendid crops that
prevail throughout this section and
the universal prosperity with which
we are being blessed it looks now as
though favorable weather is all that
is necessary to make this years ex-
hibits and attendance of the record
breaking variety.
The various concessions got on the
field early, many of them coming from
Bloomington Saturday. Our bust
ness men having special exhibits also
aimed to start the work earlier than
usual. in order to avoid the usual
rush on Wednesday morning. Among
those having special exhibits of their
stocks are L. Alt & Sons, The Hub,
Baxter & Draper, E. Weber, Gold
stein e lockwood. Orion Haley
Clothing Co.. John Schreiner & Sons,
Aupperle Grocery Co.. G. G. Roberts
AMI Ellen NeCoIlins.
G. W. Knapp & Son have their
fire display of carriages, wagons and
farm machinery, larger and better
than ever before.
The stands, shows etc. are more
numerous than ever and include some.
fine attractions.
Today the secretary will have his
Office at the grounds, and all entries
close this evening. The liberal special
premiums offered by the business men
of Lancaster, and others, in addition
to the society's premiums, have at
tracted much attention and are lead
ing tn increased exhibits in the several
departments
The races promise to be of spirited
and interesting character and many
good horses are entered for the events.
There will be four races-two on
Thursday and two on Friday the purse
in each being $500. On Thursday
will take place the 2 80 pace, with
six horses entered, and the 80 trot
with four entries. On Friday there
will be 2 :18 pace, with four entries.
and 2 :18 trot with six entries.
The big base ball games both days,
between the Dixon Browns and Galena
teams will be hot events and the
other attractions should with good
weather, make the attendance so large
that the society may have to set the
fences back to accommodate e the
crowds.

OLD LANCASTER BOY
KILLED IN WRECK
William Starr Met Death Suddenly on
Railroad, Near Kenosha.

William Starr Met Death Suddenly on
Railroad, Near Kenosha.
The following account of the death
of former Lancaster boy appeared
in the Milwaukee Sentinel Saturday.
In some respects it is not correct:
fKenosha, Wis. Sept 1O-(Special).
One man was killed and another
seriously injured in a collision be-
tween a caboose and a car of coal near
the Balm station on the North West
ern road just after midnight Friday
morning. The dead:
William Starr, aged 80 years,
residing at 1929 st. Louis street. Chi
cago; crushed in wrecked caboose,
pelvis crushed.
The injured: Timothy Hollerin.
Chicago, bridgeman employed by the
North Western; caught in wrecked
caboose and terribly bruised. In
juries not thought to be fatal.
The two men were bridgemen in
the employ of the company and had
taken a night train at Harvard in an
effort to reach their work in Chicago
before Friday morning. They had
planned to come into Kenosha on the
freight and take an early train to
Chicago.
When Balm was reached the freight
started to back into a track leading
to the coal chutes of the road, but it
is supposed that a switch was mis-
placed and the caboosee of the train
crashed into the car, completely
demolishing the caboose. Both Starr
and Hollerin were found pinned in
among the broken timber of the
caboose and it was some time before
the debris could be removed sufficient
ly to make it possible to extricate the
two injured men.
Both were conscious when removed
from the ruins of the wrecked car.
As soon as possible the Kenosha
officials for the company were notified
of the accident and a special train
was made up and hurried to Balm
which brought the injured to the
Kenosha hospital where Starr died at
5 clock Friday morning"
No particulars in addition to the
above have been received in Lancaster
up to the time we go to press.
It is not thought by those who
have kept in touch with Mr.. Starr
that he was in the employ of the
railroad company as bridgeman.
The last time word was received from
him he held position with a Street
Railway Company. He was about %
years of age instead of 80 as is stated
in the article. Further particulars as
to the funeral etc. can not be given at
this time nor can any part of the
above quoted article be verified.
