fourth floor. I halted him and asked
MIN where he was going with these
relics. His reply was that he was
connected with the state education de-
partment and handed me folded bit
OF paper. Hastily snatching it
from HIM opened it to find it was
blank. You can imagine the treat
ment I accorded that fellow, after I
relieved him of his burden and turned
1T over to the proper authorities.
Possibly you have read in the paper
of how the soldiers held up the
governor and Mrs. Dix, ard time and
again I was called upon to identify
senators, assemblymen and state
officials who requested admission and
were held up by the guard on duty at
the door.
During the entire time there was
also an amusing side to the whole
Situation. First one man applied to
the secretary of state, while I was
three, for permission to sell frank
turters; another man was walking
around the corridor of the capitol,
his arms loaded with rubber boots
which he was selling at an exhorbi
tant price, and only today at the
Washington Avenue entrance there
is man selling Lincoln pennies,
with picture of the capitol on one
side, for which he charges six cents.
The troops were we'll fed while on
duty and during our trick off we were
allowed to sleep anywhere that we
could find a comfortable and soft
bunk. Altogether, it was an ex-
perience that I would not have missed
for great deal.
1t is estimated by the proper state
authorities that between 81, 900, 900
aud So 900, 600 will replace the damag-
ed portion. There is at present corps
of engineers and architects from the
, state department at work taking
measurements and noting the condi-
tions that will make it practicable
to complete the plans at an early date.
in hopes that our great $27. O0U, 900
capitol will soon be repaired so that
the different departments can again
resume their quarters. The super
, intendent of public buildings has a
large force on hand, carrying away
the debris and the state departments,
whose quarters were burned out and
damaged by water, are now doing
business in buildings adjacent to the
capitol, but the state has sustained a
loss in its library and its museums
, that can never be replaced

THE DEFENDER OF
CAMERON DAM.
Show Coming 10 Reeds Opera House
Friday Evening of This Week.

OAOW NOAIlAnS 10 EN0GO opera house
Friday Evening of This Week.
Among the first to reach the bullet
ridden Deitz cabin in the wildern ess
of northern Wisconsin, after little
Helen Deitz appeared with a white
flag of surrender; following close on
the heels of that heroic priest, Father
Joseph Pilon, came Marlowe Randall
Hoyf, b Milwaukee newspaper re-
porter, He had been on the scene
during the great battle which stirred
and excited the west, and was struck
by the dramatic possibilities of the
events. AS result of his observation
he has produced what is probably the
most wonderfully realistic play of the
age, The Defender of Cameron Dam.
The play has proved a veritabIe drama
tic sensation. Every event is portray
ed with startling similarity to the
actual events of that most dramatic
episode of the past decade. The play
is beautiful in it's simple realism and
gripping scenes. Whatever may be
ones opinion of the Deitz case, there
is no question as to the beauty of this
dramatic masterpiece. The Prayer
at Sunrise, the Ambuscade and
Wounding Of Myra Deitz, the Dy-
namiting of the Dam, and the final
surrender, ere brought before ones
eyes, a scenic equipment seldom seen.
1t is now being repeated to packed
houses in Chicago, Milwaukee, Min
neapolis and st. Paul, for the second
time this season, abundant evidence
that is a wonderful play. The De-
fender of Cameron Dam will be at
Reeds opera house on Friday evening
April 18th. Prices 25, 35 and so. Re-
served seats at Benefits. Get them

Royal NeighbOrs Surprise w. r. C.

Contributed.
March 30th at 2:30 p. m. the Royal
Neighbors gave complete surprise
to Tom Cox W. R c. No. AZ, sew
ing circle. Unknown to the sewing
circle the Royal Neighbors had sent
a notice to the local papers request
ing all members to be present at
that date The notice as usual
brought out large crowd. While
some Of the members were asking
what the call was issued for, the
president, Maria Irish stated that no
notice had been sent from the W.
K. Z. Then came great tramping
up the stairs, into the hall, then the
door opened and a big crowd of
jolly Royal Neighbors came march
ing In with smiling faces and cheer
full greetings, each one with a
basket or package of sometime 9.
The sewing circle was so surprised
and bewildered they did not even
extend a welcome to their guests
The Royal Neigh doors helped to
quilt, aud all had a good old social
time. Then they invited the sewing
circle to supper. All fell in line and
to Mrs. Marlow's music marched to
the tables, covered with snow white
linen, china, cut glass and silver
Potted plants and lovely bouquet
for each person, and such a delicious
banquet, we could not do it Justice
The sewing circle hopes dear kind

some day with their pleasant happy
faces, sunshininy company and
generous baskets. Member

Duties of a Good Citizen.

The following article taken from
the Galena Journal contains several
pointers that are equally applicable
to local conditions. Just substitute
Lancaster" for "Galena' and
govern yourself accordingly:
Now that spring is opening up
every property owner IN GaIena should
look around for any Improvements he
can make to help the looks of his
property and make it more up to date.
The citizens must rise to their Iespon-
sibilities and not assume a tight wad
attitude along these lines. GaIena
is making a noise" like modern
little city, and her people must do
their part if they want the town to
advance. For instance. it hardly
seems that a man able to make i'm
provements has moral right to do
without the modern conveniences.
They were secured for the town at
great expense. and they should be
patronized by every citizen who can
at all afford it.
Carrying water from public n.y.
drants is a thing that dates back to
the dark ages of down hill dom, and to
show that the place is fourishing and
prosperous the houses should all have
the advantage of running Waterway
thing else is out of date and unneces-
sary.
Also in the matter Of lighting.
it is a reproach to any man not to take
advantage Of the electricity and gas
in the town unless he is so poor that
it is impossible.
AS rule it is not poverty which
causes a neglected policy in these
matters, but it simply is the result of
having become used to doing without
modern comforts or of being too
CLOSE" to pay for them. Really,
we doubt if a good citizen has moral
right to refuse to use the things like
this, secured to directly benefit his
town and help it advance.
It is every mans duty to bear his
proportionate share of the expense for
things that benefit all, and the man
who refuses to do his share is not a
desirable citizen for ne shows a sell
fish and narrow spirit where he should
be broad and generous. We simply
all must help and all must lift on the
burden if we are 10 shake off the
lethargy of years and push forward
this good old town which is capable
of SC much greater things if her citi-
zens will all help to secure them.

kellogg Haines Singing Party.

In the Kellogg Haines Singing
Party there is an attraction which has
no superior in its particular line OF
work on the LYceum today. There
are five in the party, three gentlemen
and two ladies. Much of their pro-
gram is given in elegant and APP
propriate costumes Some of these
numbers are the best examples of
humor and wit that good musical
literature has to offer. Scenes are
also given from grand opera.
The chief claim that is made for
this company is that they present an
entertaining concert of such solid
musical character and fresh wholesome
humorous power that it is sure to
captivate the musical layman while
winning admiration from the musical
critic of the severest type. AS some
one has truly said: ''They have dis
covered just what most audiences
want IN the way of musical entertain
ments-some real good things in music
and then some of the light and catchy
with big allowance for humor and
melodious rythm." Their solo work
is excellent but their claim to re-
cognition is in their quartet work.
It is doubtful if any other mixed
quartet in America can approach
them in that sinking of individuality
and perfect blending of voices that
comprises ideal quartet work. It is
heard in the singing Of the foremost
male quartets but it is unknown in
mixed quartets.
Prof. Charles A. Prosser, Superin
tendent of the New Albany, Ind,
Chautauqua. says: The Kellogg
Haines Singing Party has given, in
the opinion of our patrons, the great
est satisfaction Of all the musical
organizations that have appeared al
our assembly in the last four years. y
Many other similar quotations could
be given if space permitted.

SPRING ELECTIONS
HELD YESTERDAY
Principal Contest Was Over the
License Question.
Lancaster Votes For License by Majority
of so Richard Willis Elected
City Assessor.

Yesterday was a typical Town
Meeting" day, so for as the weather
was concerned, being dark and dis
agreeable with a drizzl1ng rain a
portion of the day, that froze as
fast as it fell, covering the streets. and
sidewalkslwith sleet and slop.
There was little of an exciting
character in the local election, the
only municipal contest being over
the office of city assessor, in which
@. F. Dickinson and Richard c.
Willis were opposing candidates.
Both are popular men and the vote
ran pretty close between them. The
result shows Mr.. Willis to be
the winner by a majority of
78. There was no mayor or treas
urer elected in Lancaster this year
and no contest for any other Office
than assessor. The ticket elected is
as follows:

WINTERS ARRESTED
ON FORGERY CHARGE
Growing Out of an Attachment
Suit at CassviIle.
Real Estate Dealer in Our Neighboring
Village Is in Jail Awaiting
an Examination.

D. B. Winters, Cassville real es-
tate man was arrested Thursday even
ing on charge of forging a note in
Frank Brinkman's name for $500,
His arrest followed an attachment pro.
ceeding brought by Dist. Atty. Glenn
entson on information furnished by o.
M. Attebery, cashier of the Badger
State Bank, that Winters had over
drawn his account to the amount of
81, 900.
It was discovered in bringing this
action that Winters had in his pos
session several forged notes and the
district attorney Immediately com
menced criminal action against him
on this charge.
Undersheriff Horace Hymer arrested
Winters at Potosi, where he was ar
ranging to board train, having
walked there from Cassville to escape
the officers.
Winters was arraigned before
Justice G. ". Burrows Friday after
noon and was bound over to appear in
the same court for hearing the after
noon of April at one o'clock. Bail
was fixed at $4,000, in default of
which he was committed to the county
jail.
Winters commenced business in
Cassville about two months ago. It
is not known where he came from.
He claimed that he had almost un-
limited resources and his subsequent
operations proved to the satisfaction
of his friends that what he said was
true.
He opened an office hired steno.
grapher from La Crosse at a salary of
fifty dollars a month. and before long
was the live wire" Of the village.
He purchased horses of the farmers
of this vicinity III careless manner
that seemed to carry out his claim
that he had more money that ne knew
what to do with. One Of his enter
prises was a big combination sale Of
horses which was to have taken place
last Saturday at barn be had rented
at Cassville, Over forty head Of
horses had been listed with him by
the owners for this sale, which was
advertised widely in the county news
papers.
He was the moving spirit in a pro-
posed revival of the CassVille races
and field sports His idea was to
organize stock company ard to this
end he had received in subscriptions
about 81 900
What his object was in resorting
to forgery is not clear. AS far as is
known he made no use Of the forged
notes and did not deposit them as
collateral in the bank.
Seven head of horses and an auto
mobile were among the property at
tached by the undersherif last Thurs
day.
What Winters future plans were
will be no doubt he brought out at
the trial Judging from the nature
of his operations he is believed by
some to be a sort of J. Rufus Walling-
ford, who perhaps had planned grand
''clean up to take place whan the
time was ripe.
