Boscobel is Dry.

The seven saloons in Boscobel closed
Friday night, says the Boscobel Dial
Enterprise, and the old town is now
in the list of dry ones. But two
OF the keepers, NJ E. Lenahan and
Adolph Johnson. closed their places
Of business. The others are running
soft drink parlors, and w J. Nauertt
and Adam Heller are enjoying
liberal patronage with their pool
tables as a side issue.
There is no law preventing them
from keeping late hours, or keeping
open Sunday and m st of them hold
open house. Minors are not pro-
hibited, and the young bloods'' of
the town have new hanging OUT
places opened to them. That they
are not slow in taking advantage of
the removal of the restraint was
demonstrated Saturday night.
The license granted to the brewery
by the township permits the owner to
sell his own product at retail by the
glass, bottle, case or keg, and the

The Book & Furderer temperance

There is no stagnation in other
business lines ON account of the

cobal will continue to be on the map

APPORTIONMENT BILL
VETOED BY GOVERNOR
McGovern Says Measure is Mel
Their Fair Nor Constitutional.
Legislature Which Had Practically Ad~
journed Has Been Recalled to
Again Tackle Problem.

Madison, Wis, July s. Governor
McGovern to-day vetoed the bin
passed by the legislature, reapportion-
ing the state into eleven congressional
and 1873 legislative districts. The
governors reason for vetoing the
measure is that it, in his opinion. is
neither fair nor constitutional. -
He says the bill in many parti-
culars does not follow the rules laid
down by the state Supreme Court,
which state that legislative districts
must be as nearly equal in pupoula-
tion as possible, and must consist Of
reasonably compact, contiguous and
convenient territory. The governor
cites number Of proposed assembly
and senate districts in Milwaukee
County and oTher parts of the state
which violate the rules.
The governor does not raise objec-
tions to the congressional reapportion-
ment. The condemned bill was the
result of deal between several Re-
publican assemblymen, who wanted
new congressional districts made IN
which they might run, and social
Democratic mem bers who wanted to
apportion Milwaukee County in such
a way that their party could control
most of the legislative districts there.
In concluding his veto, Governor
McGovern says:
Reapportionment should first Of
all conform TO every constitutional
rule. More than that, it should be
just, fair, and free from suspicion of
gerrymandering either in the interest
of individuals or of political organiza-
tions. No party and no person can
long benefit by any arrangement Of
districts that is not substantially just
and fairly representative
Calls were sent out to tue mem bers
of the Legislature tonight to return
to Madison by next Tuesday, when
the veto will come up for ronsidera-
ton. In view of the fact that it re-
quires a two thirds vote to pass bill
over the governor veto, there is little
probability that the veto will not be
sustained and a new bill passed which
will meet the approval Of the
governor.

Fire Waste for 1911 Excessive.

Present indications are that the fire
losses in the United States and Canada
for 1911 will exceed $3.50 0OO 900 The
figures for the first four months of the
year show a total of $87, SIT, 900 as
compared with 81, 222, 100 during the
same period last year. The losses
for 1910 were 234, 400. $50, aud if the
present ratio of increase continues
throughout the year, the 1911 losses
may approach $500, 900, 600. This
will exceed any year in the history of
the country except those Of the San
Francisco and Baltimore confagra-
tions.
Government officials, underwriters
and tiremen agree that the majority of
these fires are due to carelessness and
are easily preventab All of the re-
cent fires. which hav, ttracted public
attention because of the heavy loss of
life with when they were accompani-
ed. were due to carelessness and in
difference of the owners, occupants,
municipal authorities. The country
cannot go on indefinitely burning up
hundreds of millions each year, mere
ly for lack of proper individual and
municipal responsibility. New York
has been spending $40, 600, 900 a year
for fire extinguishment and only
$40, 600 for fire prevention. The re
cent shirtwaIst factory fire aroused
the public and the authorities, and
fire prevention is to be made more
prominent hereafter. The most i'm
portant consideration is the develop
ment of a sense Of personal response
bility on the part of the proper ty
owners for the excessive fire waste,
which is draining the recources of
the country and weakening it insur.
ance capital. A score Of fire insurance
companies have retired from the field
already this year, because of the
heavy losses last year and the unfav-
orabls outlook, two of the number
being companies of over hundred
years old.

OUR BAND MADE A HIT
WITH DODGEVILLE FOLKS
Newspapers There Speak Highly of the
Music Our Boys Furnished on
the Fourth of July.

That the Lancaster hand made a
decided hit at the sane fourth cele-
nration at Dodgeville is evidenced by
the following press notices. The first
is from the Chronicle which also
printed the personnel of the band and
the second from the Sun Republic !:
The Lancaster band furnished
music during the day and all our
people are loud in their praise of the
excellent music furnished, It was
high class and showed every mem Ger
to be musician. The band concert
in the evening was the principal event
OF the day and was enjoyed by several
bundled people. The band is COM
posed of all young men, and Lancaster
is to be congratulated on possessing
such muscial organization. Should
the band ever come to DodgeVille
again we. guarantee them rousing
reception The Lancaster band
Of twenty one pieces, under the able
direction of Harry E. Gross, gave
pleasure to music lovers and created a
new inspiration into the hearts Of
those who are somewhat unsteady in
clined The Hunting Scene, :"
Indian War Dance and other classic
selections made an everlasting impress
sion on all hearers. -

Gollmar Brothers Circus Different
From Other Shows.

There are many ways in which the
Gollmar Brothers Shows differ from
other circuses and a visit to the
monster tented enterprise when it
comes to Lancaster, July 10, will
cause people who have been complain
ing that all shows were alike as to
quality, to deny this statement, by
adding excepting the Goldman
Brothers Circus
Gollmar Brothers Shows resemble
other tented enterprises inasmuch as
the performance is given under tent.
When it comes to the circus acts
themselves it differs widely from
other institutions which are heralded
as great" shows.
The menagerie is more than twice
as large as that carried by other
circuses. The Biggest Hipp in
captivity is in this department. The
only hybrid lion tiger. with the tiger s
stripes on the lion s skin, is another
rare feature.
A grand street parade is given in
every city visited. And the
turnout is the biggest Free feature
offered with any circus of the present
day.
