MOST SEVERE COLD
IS EASILY BROKEN
In just a Few Hours All Misery
From a Bad Cold or the Grippe
Will Be Overcome.

Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no ~quinine, which we have
~conclusively demonstrated is not eff
fective in the treatment Of colds or
grippe.
1t is II. positive fact that a dose of
Pape's Cold Compound, taken every
two hours until three consecutive
doses are taken, will end the Grippe
and break up the most severe cold,
either in the head, chest, back, stom-
ach, limbs or n Fart of the body.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle headache, dizziness, head and
nose stuffed up, feverishness, sneez-
ing, sore throat, running of the nose,
mucous catarrhal discharges, sore
ness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after-effects, as a
25-cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

LANCASTER NOW HAS
A BOARD OF TRADE
Business Men Met and Effected Tempo.
rary Organization of New Com
mercial Body Friday Evening.

Citizens of Lancaster who sincerely
wish for its advancement in the way
OF business growth and increase Of
population, have long felt that the
city's interests might be advanced by
a business men S organization created
strictly for business purposes rather
than social pleasures, differed by men
who would give to the organization
earnest and active work in the effort
to procure some Of the things that
would bring to our beautiful little
city greater activity and prosperity.
To that end a number of our bust
ness men got together last Friday
evening at the Office of Dr. c. s..
Moore, and after considerable discus
sion decided upon the formation of an
association to be known as The Lam
caster Chamber of Commerce. A
temporary organization was effected
by the election of DR.. G. S. Moore as
president and L. Ell. Stevens as secre-
rary. These two officers were author
lzsd and instructed to prepare a set of
by-l laws to be submitted to the assocla-
ton at its next meeting. which will
be held ON Friday evening Of this
week.
Numerous propositions were dis
cussed concerning things for which
Lancaster and its surrounding country
offers special advantages and much
enthusiasm was exhibited as to some
of the things that live organization
of this kind may be able to accom-
plish.
Every man who has the welfare
of the city at heart and is willing to
assist in its advancement will be
welcomed to membership in the new
organization,

An Excellent Suggestion.

The following from the Platteville
Journal proposes the construction Of
ideal highway between that city and
the county seat: The Wisconsin
senate yesterday passed the Donald
bill, creating a state highway com
mission and approuriating $3.50, 600
annually as state aid for road build
ing. The bill now goes to the gov
ernor for approval, and it is under
stood that he will sign it. The act
provides for a commission of five
members, one Of whom is to be the
dean Of the college of agriculture Of
the state university. one Of the state
geologist and three to be appointed by
the governor from the state at large.
To every dollar contributed by the
state to road building, the county and
town in which the improvement is
made must each put up an equal
amount. Tie act makes it optional
with town whether to avail itself Of
state aid or not. Scores Of towns
have anticipated the enactment OF
this law and have already voted to
raise money in order to take advantage
of it.
Let us get busy and with the coop
Grafton of Lancaster and intermediate
points. build road to the county seat
that will be a pattern for other roads,
and a much needed improvement.
When this is done, Bloomington, Bos-
cobel and other towns will do the
same, we will soon have a system
of good roads throughout the county.
With the governors signature to this
bill, which seems already assured,
there is no reason why Grant county
should not have as good roads as are
to be found any place.

Two of PlatteviIIe's Big Ones.

In his weekly mining letter j. Fl.
Lewis has the following in regard to
two we'll known Platteville properties:
The bonanza mine, Of this district, is
the Klar-P iquette, which is a steady
dividend payer, and on account Of the
low capitalization, is paying at the
rate Of 800 per cent annually. The
total capital stock is 20, 600 shares, all
Issued. Fifteen dividends have been
paid to date amounting 10 $57, 500.
Since the first of January, 1911, reg
ular monthly dividends have been
in order. Two hosting shafts are in
daily operating order, and a day rs
turnout yields twenty tons Of zinc ore
assaying from fifty to ffty-five per
cent zine content. Thirty men are
carried on the pay roll In addition
to the zinc, the company is making
car OF lead ore monthly, which almost
taxes care Of the pay roll. Both steam
and electric power are employed. Re
Gently in drilling, the company dis
covered another large body Of zine ore
running parallel to the main range
now followed and about 200 feet south.
Edward Bonk is secretary and treas
urer Of the company. Chris Klar,
Supt. is also one Of the owners of the
land. Another dividend has been
declared payable to stockholders Of
record, June 10Th, Recent transactions
in the securities of this company have
changed hands at So per share.
Cole Piquette, little French black
smith, has made a snug fortune out
of the property in tbs early sale of
seventh interest. Vivian Harvey,
another resident, cleaned up $40, 900
on the stock held by him. The ore
runs now being followed are ex-
tensive, and with the new discovery
make this mine one of the SAFEST and
most profitable investments in this
district
The Homestead mine is grinding
out large quantities of zinc ore
steadily and is making handsome pro-
fits for its owners, the Shepherd
family. Deliveries Of six cars Of
high grade coal are made each month
by a Chicago firm, which is used III
operating the plant and in local ore
separation, the product produced as
saying better than so per cent zinc.
No stock has been Issued and no re-
ports are published, the mine being
a family project, and. like all Shep-
herd understandings, bringing home
the bacon.

WINTERS STORY OF
HOW HE GOT AWAY.
Late Cassville Adventurer Describes
in Letter to Sheriff, escape from
Lancaster Jail.

Sheriff W. G. Hymer received a
letter last week from David Mccain,
alias D. B. Winters, telling how he
made his escape from the Grant
county Jail. His own story of the
get away is as follows: "That morn
ing [ drove about six miles east OF
town: tied the horse at the side of the
road in the bush and went afoot and
walked all that day and night and the
first town got into was Cobb, Wis.
There is where I soaked my watch
and got something to eat and went
from there to Muscoda. Wis, and
took the two O'CLOCK train for Madi-
son, Wis; from there q freight to
Portage. and stayed there till Satur-
day night and left there II 80 for
Fargo, n D"
How much of the above statement
is true can hardly be told In his
confession Winters said nothing about
going to Fargo, n. D., but stated
that after leaving here he skipped to
ST. Paul, MINI.
An investigation showed that he
had pawned his watch at Cobb, Wis. ,
and obtained So. 80 for it.
Sheriff Fitzgerald, Of Wilkins
county. Mimi, where Winters is now
in Jail. talked with the prisoner about
his escape and wrote Sheriff Hymer as
follows: He tied your horse to a
tree and walked until o'clock at
night and then he heard you coming
behind and he then climbed up tree
and you rode under him with a rifle
in your hand. He said that he could
touch your hat from where he was
but was not going to when he saw the
gun he then turned and went the
other way opposite from the way you
were going.
The fact that Sheriff Hymer was
not in that vicinity at that time
shows part of the story to be untrue.
