COUPLE SUSPECTED
OF NUMBERING CHILD
Traced to Lancaster by Officers
From Eau Claire.
Were Arrested Here Last Saturday and
Taken Back to Eau Claire to Face
Examination.

Deputy Sheriff Henry u. Neher, of
Eau Claire, came to Lancaster Satur-
day in search of man and woman
named Anderson who it is claimed
are responsible for the death of 2
months old child, the dead body being
found in woods near Eau Claire last
February.
From the evidence that has been
given it is probable that the Ander-
son g left Menomonie some time in
February. with the above mentioned
child, intending to find employment
ct the County Farm south of Lancas-
ter. When they arrived in Eau
Claire where they had to wait short
time to change cars for Lancaster they
decided that both would find employ
ment much easier if they could get
rid Of the child. As they we're en-
tirely unknown in Eau Claire they
must have taken the child to the
edge Of the city and there disposed of
it.
The authorities using all clews at
hand traced them to this city where
they were arrested Saturday and
taken to Eau Claire for a settle
ment of the case.

Royal NeighbOr Entertainment.

Last Friday night. April 10.
1912, the entertainment given by a
COMMITTEES of Royal Neighbors was a
very enjoyable affair. The opening
number was a piano solo by Miss
Austin then Moulton Basford sang
two very pretty songs accompan led by
Mrs. L. Clark. Some day this little
boy, when grown to manhood, may
sing in much larger city tnan Lam
caster, but his sweet voice and in
nocent face will be remembered and
cherished at his starting, place long
after the little bird has flown, Fol-
lowing this came the grand march by
twos of the Suffragettes from the
waiting room of the large G A. r.
hall, Neighbor Shipley as pianist.
They were seated in a semi circle
upon the platform. Those who wit
messed this part will have many last
ing remem brances of them IN hearing
the convincing sentiments offered by
each. and the mental picture gained
of their mannish but neat attire.
Their songs. talks, nodding of heads,
and shaking of their fingers in con-
vincing arguments made the listeners
feel as though they meant all they
said and were really taking us by
storm. A prominent feature was
taken by Miss Caroline Lisherness and
also by little Miss Calls. A song
was given by four little girls about
mamma Wants to be President.
In closing there was violin solo by
Miss Mcmahon, assisted by Miss M.
Doll songs by neighbor Henry, &C.
companied by neighbor Shipley. The
last was very beautiful piano solo
by our prospective Royal Neighbor,
Miss Margaret Doll. The refresh
ments served were fine as we'll as
the homemade candy, and the
delicious popcorn. The proceeds are
for our Sunshine fund and therefore
will be used to help cheer the shut
in or invalid. Press Correspondent.

Base Ball-Cassville VS. Lancaster High
Schools

The high school base ball team won
victory over the team representing
Cassville hign school Saturday by a
score of 17-11.
This sounds much better than the
result Of the first game when the
home team were shut out at Fenni-
more by majority Of Is.
The number 10 did not prove I'M
lucky in Saturdays game although
the lads were compelled to play in a
hay field back of the G. & N. W.
round house.
The line up was
Lancaster High School Fred Hall
1 b, Roy Fischer 3D.. Burnell Oates

p.
During the game Trentzsch was
exchanged for Fischer who pitched the
remainder of the game.
Lancaster ''twirlers" allowed 3
bases on balls while Blewitt for Cass-
vile allowed only 1.
According to the score as The Her
aid representa- i've received it Ian
caster made IL hits, of these were
good for 2 bases and one made by
Burnelle Oates carried him to third
base. The visiting team made s,
most of which were singles.
Since the ball diamond at the fair
ground has been destroyed it will be
difficult to schedule any games at
home and what is more there will
probably be no Lancaster city team
this season.

Heroes of the Sea

The last word in sea safety was the
great Titanic. Throughout her great
and majestic proportions science and
art had combined their greatest efforts
and technical skill in providing the
maximum of luxury and the maximum
of protection. In this palatial ship
man had done his best. She was the
zenith mark of marine architecture
mechanics and equipment Her
width of beam and length Of keel
commanded the amazement and
admiration of the world In the
measurements of men the Titanic
was a mighty thing, but measured
against the great forces to the sea,
she was but toy of tissue. And so
the news wires of the world today are
flashing everywhere, every detail and
rumor that the news collectors can
find of the most awful sea disaster
known in modern times; and because
it is the greatest of modern times it
is probably the greatest sea disaster
known in all times Out of all this
comes one great story. Here in the
artificial life of twentieth century
projections we find the riders of an
ocean grey hound no less chivalrous
in time of dire distress than were
they who, in earlier days, sailed the
high seas in galleons, caravels, and
barkantines. The romance of the
seas is as great under the power of
steam as in the days when full sails
streaming great masts, trapped the
power Of the winds Heroism is as
instructive in the breast of the modern
first cabin passenger of the Titanic,
nursed in the luxury of a swollen
fortune. as in Jim Bludsoe who on
the banks of the father of waters, held
the nose of his burning packet against
the bank until the last galoot was
ashore. All nations will honor the
hero passengers, sailors and officers
who lowered the women and children
into life boats and then themselves
stood by the ship to follow her down
to her great watery grave while the
whole world stood aghast, And
when the shock of this appalling news
is over the and temporal tributes have
woven themselves into the lasting
literature of the seas the scientists
and the ship. builders will face with
full courage and with a new faith
and determination, the new task cf
building a new Titanic, learning
through this disaster and lesson of
sacrifice, that the ship that found her
way to the bed of the sea was not the
asst word in ship building or in sea
safety. The last is yet to be, And
they will go forth to find that word.
So, do the good ship Titanic and her
heroes, serve the world Madison

FOR POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATORS.

1t is up President Taft to sign the resolution
calling upon states to upon constitutional
amendment to elect United States senators by the di
of the people. This resolution has passed
both branches congress. Many Southern democrats
voted against the measure, not because they did not
favor the election of senators by the people but because
of the government control of the election. This
Objectionable feature to them because they feared

Therefore. when the advantages stacked up
