Arrangements for Its Production
Now Going Forward.
Will Probably be About the Last Local
Entertainment of the Present
Season.

The Minstrel show to bs staged by
the Country Club has been delayed
one week later than had been original
" planned, owing to the length of
time required to procure the desired
music and arrange many preliminary
details. 1t was also deemed advisable,
because Of the numerous other yattrac-
tions claiming dates so close to that
originally announced for the latter,
that it would insure greater success if
the production was postponed q few
days.
The dates finally arranged for are
April 80 and 80 at Reeds opera house,
and it intimated by the management
that all previous minstrel successes
will have to go away back and sit
down as compared with this one.
The musical numbers are said to
be unusually good, the monologues and
end mems jokes particularly funny,
and the specialties of a very pleasing
character. Many reserved seats are
already spoken tor one order for IL
tickets having been sent in from
Bloomington several days ago.

IS LANCASTER TO HAVE
A BASE BALL TEAM?
Had Championship of South
western Wisconsin Last Year
Money Now Being Subscribed for Hiring
Strong Lot of Players for Com
ing Season.

A movement is again on foot to
provide Lancaster with a first, class
professional or. semipro base ball
team the coming season. Last year
we had one of the best independent
teams in the state and were able to
carry )ff the honors of the season, to
the great satisfaction of all lovers of
the game. A good base ball organiza-
ton is a help to the town in many
ways. 1t furnishes clean and whole
some amusement for our citizens,
creates an interest in our town and
causes 1t to be much talked about
throughout the state and draws many
visitors here to witness the games
when the rivalry grows strong.
A subscription paper is now being
circulated by Ell. Mccoy and V L.
ShowaIter and it is expected that the
necessary money will be subscribed
to guarantee the success of the enter
prise. z,
Last year $3.50 was subscribed,
which, in addition to the proceeds
from the various games of the season
took care of the payment of salari es
and all other expenses.
Applications by the dozen are being
received by Mr.. Mccoy from players
who aspire to be numbered with til g
Lancaster bunch this year, and if the
necessary money can be raised it is
confidently expected that we can have
fully as strong a team as we had last
year.

fan and two electric heaters. The
cold air passes over these heaters be-

heater is ready to keep the little iron

The electric corn pepper makes it
possible to pop corn on the parlor
table and never mark the varnish.
The handy device is equipped with
small rubber wheels and short wood
handle so it can be easily oscillated.
A wire screen keeps the popping

Joint Resolution Adopted by the Legis-
Iature at Madison.

Allen r Bushnell, for many years
resident of Grant county, and one
of the foremost men of southwestern
Wisconsin and of the state, died
March 30, 1909, at Madison, which
C1Sy had been his home for the past
few years. He was native of Ohio,
but in his youth became Badger and

reposed In him. When the dark Gays

upon as a safe counsellor and he was
considered an authority on life in
surance matters. He was brilliant
minded man, yet marked with COM

Judgment. Frankness, honesty and
integrity were among the virtues he
possessed; he was public spirited and
philanthropic, stood for justice and

never obtrusive.

PAYNE TARIFF BILL
HAS PASSED HOUSE
Expected that Senate will Make
Radical Changes
In the Bill as Passed Hides and Petro-
leum are both Placed on the
Free List.

Washington, D. c., April 10 -
After three weeks of consideration,
the Payne tariff bill was passed by
the house of representatives Friday
night by vote of 217 to ISL. One
republican, Austin of Tennessee,
voted against the measure and four
democrats, all from Louisiana, Messrs.
Broussard, Estopinal, Pujo, and
Wickliffe, voted for it. An attempt
by Champ Clark, minority leader, to
recommit the bill with instructions
signally tailed.
Numerous amendments were adopt
ed in committee of the whole and
later in the open session of the house
during the last day of consideration.
Among the most important of these
were:
Hides remain on the free list, the
vote on this being decisive.
LUMBER DUTIES STAND
The tariffs agreed upon by the COM
mittee on ways and means on the
various lumber schedules stand, five
different amendments to put lumber
of some kind on the free list being
rejected.
The rates of duty on barley and
barley malt were raised slightly, in
accordance with a recommendation of
the committee on ways and means.
Petroleum goes on the free list, the
1 per cent ad valorem duty which was
voted when the countervailing duty
was removed recently being also re-
moved by the overwhelming vote of
324 to 45.
The drawback provision was amend
ed so as to prevent spectators in
grain svailing themselves of its provi
sions.
BATTLE ROYAL IN SENATE.
The bill now goes at once to the
senate, where it is certain tn at
battle royal will be fought, with oil,
lumber and hides as the chief bones of
contention.
The senate finance committee is
now in possession of the bill as pass ed
and until it has been considered in
its entirely and all committee amend
msnts have been prepared no further
public hearings will be granted nor
will any representatives Of any of the
special interests involved be heard.
