NEW c. & N. w. TRAINS
ARE NOW RUNNING
New Accommodation" Schedule on
This Division Went Into Effect
Last Monday.

The two new trains on this divi-
sion of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway. spoken of in last week S
Herald, have became an assured fact
and the new schedule went into effect
last Monday morning. They are
mixed trains-Carrying both passengers
and freight. and will meet certain
conveniences on this end of the line,
particularly for special occasions, but
we cannot see how they can hope to
become at all a popular feature with
the travelling public in a regular way.
One train leaves Lancaster at 100
o'clock in the morning and uses up
six hours in getting to Madison, be-
ing due there at :05 a. m. Retarn-
ing, it leaves Madison at $40 p. m.
and gets here about midnight-to be
accurate, it is due at 10 :35.
Whether the new trains are to be-
come a permanent feature or not will
undoubtedly depend upon the patron
age they receive.

The M. E. Bazaar.

Contributed
Last, though not least, the NJ. E,
bazaar last Wednesday, Dec. 10, was
a success, the receipts being $168, and
it was attended by little expense.
The only thing that marred the
prevailing harmony was that while
those who served the supper had
prepared for large crowd the supply
was inadequate to the demand and
much to their regret many were
forced to go unserved.
For the erection of the booths the
ladies of the different societies are
indebted to the following gentlemen
of the church. Barrows, Ward,
Draper, Roth, Marks and Stevens. An
expression of appreciation is due to
the many contributors, among whom
were: J. T. Bennett, j. D. Hatch,
David Crichtcp, e. W. Burrows,
Editor Lowrey and Brittingham-
Hixon Lumber Co. for loan Of lumber.
A unique attraction was the
japanese booth, with little maids
dressed in costumes, conducted by the
Queen Esthers, but the sweetest thing
was the candy hive, which swarmed
with customers until the BIS supply
gave out.
All the booths were literally
patronized by throng of customers
and the evenr was crowned by one of
the most perfect days of December,
1911.

The Hera!d's Christmas Number.

We can truthfully say that we have
never seen nicer nor larger display
OF advertising than the Herald has in
its columns this week. Several full
page ads, nearly dozen half page
ads and numerous other smaller ads
together with excellent cuts and scores
OF columns of interesting reading
matter make up the thirty two pages
OF the paper. Truly. the Office force
OF the Herald must have put in some
hard ticks" last week.
The Lancaster merchants are awake
to the advantages of adveI Using. We
wish to congratulate Brother Editor
Lowrey on his excellent Christmas
number. -Dodgeville Republic.

cases as accessories both before and
after the fact.

conclusive, if not more so than thaC
of Ortie McManigal, who turned
states evidence in the Los Angeles
cases.

although she had consented to return
here TO testify TIE government had
taken the precaution of serving her
with a subpoena.
Frank P. Baker. prosecutor for
Marion County, will be called before
the federal grand jury to explain why
he made public Ortie McManigal's
confession before it could be used in
the government probe.
j. A. G. Baderf, of the National
Erectora Association, has lodged a
complaint against Baker with the
local federal officials and it was
learned from an authoritative source
to-day that Baker must go before the
grand jury.

TEN MILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF POTATOES.
That is the Estimated Value of Wiscon-
sins Crop of "Murphys" Raised

proximate $4,000, 600. Prof. j. D.
Millward states in special bulletin
chat $50, 900 acres have been under
cultivation and that the annual yield
during that period has been from

Collecting Corporation Taxes.

Madison, Wis, Dec. is. T. l..
Gilbert, collector of internal revenue
for the second district of Wisconsin,
is now mailing over 10, 900 corporation
blanks to corporations organized in
his district These blanks are being
mailed in duplicate one blank is to
be returned and the other is to be
retained for reference by the
corporation. These returns should
be fled with the collector as soon
after Jan. 1 as possible.
During the past year, $50, 600
corporations throughout the United
States failed to file their returns on
or before March 1 and incurred the
specific penalty of from one thousand
to ten thousand dollars.
All corporations organized for profit
and having capital stock represented
by shares and all insurance COM
panies are subject to tax equivalent
to one per cent of the net income over
five thousand dollars fol-. each calendar
year.
A number of corporations, not
making q profit of five thousand
dollars or over said Collector
Gilbert, were of the opinion last
year that they we're not required to
make the return for that very reason.
However, all corporations are
required to make the return even If
they sustain a loss during the year. .

Test for Diamond

To test diamonds the following is
given: Make hole in a card with
a needle and look at the card through
the diamond or imitation. If it is a
genuine stone you will see but one
hole; if it is an imitation you will see
two holes. Or, place the object to be
examined on your finger and with a
magnifying glass look through it. If
genuine you can not see the grain of
the finger; If imitation you can see
the grain perfectly"

Work on the new wharf Is at last moving apace, and the cold storage plant there is assured.
 And mining-that is the feature that will make this region the busy one this year of 1911, above the rest. The upper river country is to be prospected and worked in a manner unapproached since the famous days of the Cassiar excite ment, Tie pioneer of this move. ment, L.
