THE TOWN Of LIMA HAS
SUBSCRIBED $4,000
In Support of Proposed Electric
Railway
Making a Total of $4,000 So Far
Subscribed-The Next Week May
Largely Increase This.

The Chicago Short Line railway
proposition goes marching steadily
along in the matter of securing aid
for its construction, and the out
look is mora promising now than it
has been at any previous time.
In the town of Lima petitions have
been in circulation for a number of
weeks and closed on Dec. "a with
much more than the requisite number
of signatures of taxpayers to insure
subscription from that town in the
amount of $50. QUO. which makes
total of $311, 900 subscribed to date,
or about three. tifths the amount
necessary to put through the primary
plans of the company.
The village of Fennimore will vots
upon the proposition today. In the
town of Glen Haven the petitions
close next Tuesday. Jan 6, and the
signatures already secured leave no
doubt of success in that town. many
having signed who have heretofore
been opposed to the proposition
Jorth Lancaster will be petitioned in
ie matter soon, following which will
ome a special election to take
place in the city of PIdttevilIe, where
it is understood that sentiment is
generally favorable to the proposed
road.
Obtaining aid for proposition of
this kind. in this way, is necessarily
slow, but it is making a steady pro-
gress and bids fair to win.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
BECOMES A STATE BANK
Capital Stock Increased from
$4,000 to $4,000
The Change Goes Into Effect Tomor-
row, January 1st-The Manage
ment VIII Continue the Same.

An important business change goes
into effect in Lancaster tomorrow.
Thursday January 1. 1914, when the
First National Bank of this city
established in October 1903, char ges
its form and becomes The Lancaster
State Bank. with its capital stock
exactly doubled, increasing from
$25, 600 to $50, 600
This change has been decided upon
mainly for the reason that the state
laws under which it will heres fter
be operated will more fully meet its
requirements and convenience in the.
matter of loans to it's patrons.
Whereas the national banking laws.
do not allow banks to loan money
upon real estate, the laws pertaining
to state banks do. the state depart
ment considering such loans the best
of security. the change will much,
better enable the bank to meet general
needs and to extend to its partons old
and new such accommodations in the
Way of loans as may be desired.
This change makes no alteration
whatever in the management of the.
bank, the same corps of officers con-
tinuing in charge of its affairs, the
president being L. Fl. Stevens vice
presidents G.. A. Stevens, of Cass-
vile, and p. T. Stevens of Montfort

''The Play, The Plays the Thing

Rehearsals are progressing nicely
for the home talent play to be given
at the Hatch opera house on Friday
evening of this week. A very strong
cast has been secured and every
thing points to a record breaking
attendance.
The cause is worthy one, the
WOman's Relief Corps, and the
ladies earnestly solicit your attend
ance.
Every possible effort is being.
made to make this play one of the,
best ever given in this city. The
cast has been chosen with special
reference to each ones ability; and
we can assure the public an evening
of pleasure.
The play is cleverly written for
home talent work. The characters
are the picturesque type of rbe
old gold digging days. The scene is
laid IN Golden GnIch, near Dead
wood and the time is 1875. Those
were stirring times OF excitement
and adventure
There are three interesting acts
filed with humor and pathos and
the most critical audience is sure TO
be pleased Ask your FennimOre
or Platteville friends about the play

"Freckles."

Freckles, a dramatization of
one of the most widely read books in
the past decade, by Gene Stratton-
Porter, is announced for Tuesday,
January 9th. at Hatch's opera house.
From literary standards there have
been few greater pastoral stories
written. That it has been marvellous
ly popular is attested by the fact
that over million persons have read
it. When one has read a story. there
is always a desire to see it played, to
see the characters in real life, and
this is undoubtedly the most important
reaons for the success of 'Freckles, =
as drama. During its trial per
fnrmances last season it drew record
breaking audiences, and with
unanimous acclaim the prophecy went
forth that its success as a drama
would equal its unqualified success as
novel. On regular tour this season.
with a complete scenic equipment
and stronger company of artists, it
is playing to capacity and audiences
everywhere.
Under the management of D L.
Martin, and direction of A q. Del.
ameter, known from coast to coast as
producers of nothing but clean,
healthy dramatic attractions, this
literary hit is mating theatrical
history.
