Secretary Van Norman, of the
National Dairy Show association, has
been fortunate in securing for the
coming exhibits of that association, in
Milwaukee, Oct. IA to "a, an entry
bred stock shown at the Illinois state

with the prize winners from the
Alaska Y ukon- Pacific exposition and

swells the entries to over 500 head.

The scent of burning leaves will
soon season the cool autumn air.
Lancaster lawns are already strewn
with the fallen foliage of the naples,
elms, pines etc. And now from the
medical authorities comes the timely
warning that leaves should not be
burned in the evening that the even
ing bonfire although picturesque is
extremely unhealthy. The condition
of the air at the close of day is such
that the smoke hugs the earth and
permeates the interior of the resi-
dences. Those suffering from throat
and bronchial troubles are subjected
to great distress through breathing
tn smoke and those perfectly we'll
are also made to suffer more or less.
Burn the leaves in the middle of the
day when the air is warmer and
lighter. Then the smoke rises and
disappears and neither your neighbor
nor yourself are made unc omfortbale.
Nine young people from Lancas-
ter are registered as students in the
University of Wisconsin this year.
The enrolment at the U. W. is said
to be the largest in the history of the
school. Registrar w. D. Hiestans
last week stated that the enrolment
of students living outside the state
was more than double what it was
last year aud if this could be taken as
a criterion tie attendance would
almost reach the 5000 mark. The
rooming houses have nearly all been
filled to OVERLOOKING. The hazing of
the freshmen was as usual the feature
of the first week. One new form of
hazing this year was to sieze each
first year man as he came out of Main
hall and force him to propose on
pended knees to every coed that
passed. For hazing purposes the
freshman are distinguished by their |
green caps mounted by cardin al
buttons.
The BoscobeI and Lancaster
nigh school teams were scheduled to
play ball here Saturday but on &C
count of the drizzling rain which

doubt been very close in favorable
weather. At the close of the fourth
Boscobel was in the lead the score
standing 2 to 0 in it's favor. The
