arrested Tenasu Rosas, the Mexican
who is supposed to have stabbed a
fellow workman, Francisco Giende
in the railroad camp near Glen Haven,
as related in The Herald two weeks

to Rosas' guilt as there were wit

with big butcher knife, bought
at local store about half an hour
before the fight began.

New Federal Law Goes Into Eff

Mail Will Be Received and Despatched
as Usual, But Incoming Mail
Held Over Until Monday.

Lancaster postofice is hereafter to

cordance with new law recently
passed by congress and which is now
in effect applying to all first and
second class postoffices everyw here.
and is not a ruling made by the
postmaster. although it will be q
source of considerable satisfaction to
him and his assistants who frequently
find Sunday the hardest day of the
week, owing to the fact that the
mail is very heavy that day In
order that the public may be fully APP
prised of the new ruling the Office
will be open as usual next Sunday,
but not after that date. Outgoing
mail will be received and dispatched
as usual. but the mail which arrives
on Sunday will not be distributed
until Monday morning and the Office
will remain locked all day on Sun
day. The letter mail will be sorted
by the postmaster and should there
be any special delivery letters re-
ceived on Sunday they will be at
once delivered This is something
that has been anticipated for quite a
while. For more than year cities
all over the country have been receiv-
ing consent from the department for
Sunday closing and now the matter is
made general by this new law. the
feeling being that the public will
not be materially Inconvenience

his assistants should be entitled to

be given for the proposition in both.
This is very busy time for farmers
and 1t is apparent that enough voters
stayed away from the polls for one
reason or another to bring about the
unfortunate result detailed above,
1t cannot be stated at the hour The
herald goes to press just what effect
yesterdays election may have upon
the project, but it does not seem
probable that it will prove a per-
manent check upon the movement,
but that the elections in the other
towns will proceed as previously
planned and it may even be that the
matter will be tried over again in

Prof. Van Dusen is a most accom-

This year another new course has
been added in the high school-a
Teachers Training Course. The Wis
consin law has for a number Uf years
prohibited all persons from teaching
who have not attended some normal
training school for at least six weeks.
By adding this new training course
the Lancaster schools remove the
necessity of it's students mourning the
expense oE going elsewhere to get this
normal training, a feature that will
no doubt be greatly appreciated by
teachers and add much to the prestige
of our schools, which are now
recognized as ranking among the very
best of the state. Lancaster is one
of but very few high schools in Wis
consin having this new teachers
course.
