Last Call for Settlement.

Having sold our feed mill we have
for several weeks requested those in
debted to us to call and settle. The
response has been so unsatisfactory
that we shall now be compelled TO
bring suit at law in all cases where
settlement is not made on or before
February 10Th. 1911. Our accounts
are now in the hands of G. W. Bur-

In MemOriam---Herbert c. Van Dusen

Herbert Carlisle Van Dusen was
born at Montfort, Wis. Jan. 4, 1887
and died at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Jan. is,
1911. Herbert lived in Montfort
where he attended school until 1908,
when he moved to Lancaster. Wis.
with his parents where his father,
Dr. W. Fl. Van Dusen was engaged
in the practice of medicine. until the
time of his death in December. 1910.
Herbert was graduated from Lam
caster high school in 1904, He showed
unusual talent in oratory and draw
ing and was exceptionally bright in
ohter studies. During the year of his
graduation he was winner of the first
prize in the Judge Mills Oratorical
Contest. After graduation from high
school he taught school for one year,
after which ne moved to Chicago
where he took a business course at
Metropolitan Business College. For
two years he held a business position
in Chicago and at the same time pur-
sued the study of oratory and dramatic
art one year at Sop5r School of
Oratory, and one year at Barley
Cushings School of Dramatic Art.
At the latter he won. through his
talent and his industry, the close
personal friendship Of all. Mr.. Cush-
ing placed him the following
year, 1908, with Eugene Moore s
Dramatic Company The year follow
ing this engagement he was associated
with May Stewart Shakesperean Com
pany finding much pleasure and meet
ing with much success in .Shakesperean
roles to which he gave deepest study.
After leaving May Stewards Com
pany he remained in New York City
until Jan. End, 1911 at which time he
engaged to tour with Miss Eleanor
Otis, reader, and Miss Genevieve
Schrader, soprano, of the Eleanor
Otis Company But before the close
of the second week Of his engagement
with this Company, he met with death
at GAINESVILLE. Ohio His death was
caused by fire due to the explosion
of natural gas stove in his room at
the hotel, in which he was fatally
burned
He was removed at once to Bethesda
hospital where he received the best
medical attention. but lived only five
hours after he had been removed from
the hotel
Those who witnessed his tragic
ending say that during this time of
his suffering, he displayed a courage
and heroism seldom met with; never
during this entire time uttering
complaint.
He passed away in peace, with a
faith and trust in God which lifted
him above his physical suffering,
shortly before he had passed away re-
peatlng God is Love, there is no
death. =
Funeral services were held at home
at As Friday morning, Jan. 20; in
terment in cemetery at Mineral Point,
Wis.
He leaves to mourn his loss
mother, Mrs. Elsie FL Van Dusen,
two sisters, Mrs. Al Hunsaker aud
Miss Elsie Van Dusen of Lancaster,
and two brothers Hartman and Frank
of Madison and Chicago respectively.

The Fading Ranks of Blue.

Two of the largest of the Chicago
posts of the Grand Army of the Re-
publican held their annual memorial
services on Sunday. One reported a
death rate in its membership of over
4 per cent during the past year; the
other a death rate of more than 10 per
cent.
A third. meeting the same day, ad-
mitted two members. but recorded
the loss of three by death. A fourth,
active for many years in populous
and prosperous residence district,
lately found it's mem bership so reduced
by death as to be compelled to dis
band.
These incidents from the contem-
porary records of the social and bene-
VIOLENT organization which has en-
deavored to preserve the comradeships
Of the greatest war in history illus
trate how rapidly are fading the ranks
of blue that went forth to battle for
the Union just fifty years ago.
According to the latest available
returns, Of Dec. 81, 1908. the Grand
Army Of the Republic had then 800, :
600 members This was conservatives
ly estimated to be lass than third
Of the survivors Of the 2,772, 408 men
who took the oath of military service
during the Civil war.
With a death rats Of 5 to 10 per
cent now, and always growing, it is
not difficult to foresee that within a
few years the organization must come
to an end because there will be none
left of the soldiers of the Great Wan.
On June 80, 1909, there were 593,
961 soldiers of the Civil war on the
pension rolls But they are dying at
the rate or 100 every twenty four
hours. or Sc, 500 year, at least And
this death rate is always increasing,
for the boy Of Is who managed to get
into the final campaigns of the spring
of 1865 will be 81 years old this
spring, and the ordinary death rate Of
men of ga is about per cent and rises
rapidly above that age.
Of course, the same conditions pre-
vail with respect to the survivors of
the 750, 900 men or more who marched
and fought between 1861 to 1865 in
the great effort-never to be repeated
to dissolve the American Union.
These ranks are also fading fast from
death.
Because it is taking place daily
about us. it is hard for many of us to
realize the change that will come to
this country when there are no longer
living memorials. but only memories
and records. of the war that cemented
the fabric of the American Union
with the blood Of half million men
But let the young man of today, to
whom the presence of the old soldier
of the Civil war seems continuous
fact, imagine that his calling or oc-
patton, as might easily happen,
should take him out of the United
States for the next twenty years.
When he returned, say on Mem
orial day. he would be almost Obliged
to stop and think whether this were
the country of his youth. For the &C
customed parade of the Grand Army
post would be missing from the
spectacle.
He might see a few feeble and
ancient men riding in a carriage, the
last relics of the Great War. but that
would be all And it he should ask
what had become of all those familiar
figures of his youth, the answer could
only be:
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards with solemn round
The bivouaC of the dead.

,respondence TO tn, Herald.

Special Correspondence TO tn : Herald.
The twenty fifth anniversary and
silver jubilee Of the consolidated
branches Al and 40 Catholic Knights
OF Wisconsin, was observed Thursday
evening. Jan. 10Th. The large
parochial hall was packed with
knights, their families and invited
friends and the best of feeling pre-
vailed. The exercises were opened
with the Lords prayer by Father
Pape, the audience joining in. This
was followed with piano duet by
Father Pape and Miss Athena Palmer,
after which Father Pape delivered
very beautiful opening address.
Several essays were rendered. inter
spersed with piano music. Mr.. J.
j. Tobin read brief history of the
branch that now contains member
ship of seventy-two. The program
closed with an address by Mr.. John
NJ. Callahan, of Milwaukee. state
secretary of the Catholic Knights of
Wisconsin. Mr.. Callahan is an
eloquent speaker and his remarks
were listened to with great attention
and his anecdotes were very interest
ing and amusing. At the conclusion
OF his address every one sat down to
the tables and enjoyed a bountiful
supper that had been prepared by the
wives of the Knights. Somewhat too
much of the evenings limited time
was taken up in essays; brief remarks
by some OF the older members of the
society would of been more appropriate
to the occasion as rot many of them
will take part in another similar
occasion.
While Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fecht
were attending the Catholic Knights
Jubilee last Thursday evening, the
building which they occupied and its
entire contents were destroyed by fire,
leaving them nothing but the clothes
tney wore. They carried no insurance.
The building was frame house and
was situated on farm in the town
of Harrison owned by Henry Long, of
Platteville; a defective chimney is
supposed to be the cause of the fire.
Mr.. and Mrs Fecht have been mar
led but about two years and the loss
falls very heavily on them. They
have the sympathy of their many
friends who will aid them to start
anew. A move has already started to

but what the generous public will re-

tlonality Of the law is assailed on
grounds similar to this that the con.

upon the existence of state of facts
