HOWE'S PICTURE SHOW
WAS UNUSUALLY GOOD
Audience Not as Large as Merits
Warrant.-Features Helped
Objects on Screen.

Last Saturday evening those of
Lancaster who knew what was coming
and provided for it in advance were
at the Howe picture show and had a
jolly time of it. Without a doubt
these were the best pictures ever
shown in this vicinity.
There were many things that con-
tributed to the success of the Howe
pictures. To begin with they were
of the very highest grade, both in sub
jects and in the quality of execution.
Then there was present and constantly
on tap all sorts of noises to fit the
picture and make it seem more real
istic. If pig were flashed on the
screen, that pig would curl his tail
and grunt-jest like a really pig.
Locomotives whistled, natural as
life; dynamite exploded with big
noise, the geyser sizzled and the
jackass brayed-all true to life.
More than that, the show lasted
from Sis to 1O:15, and the pictures
came fast and furious. The funny
things were really funny; the educa-
tional features were instructive, in
deed. Come again, Mr.. Howe; Lam
caster will give you a bigger crowd
next time.

P0T0SI RATHER LOOK
SMART THAN PRETTY
Business Is Bully Good.-Prosperity
Did Not Go Out with Fall
ure of Mining.

Potosi is not vesy inviting look
ing place, yet there is an element OF
quaintness that seems to attract. Just
now it is very prosperous, in strange
contrast with other mining towns Of
the south end of Grant county.
In early days Potosi, Rockville
British Hollow and Dutch Hollow
were mining camps, so we are told
Then there were plenty of smelters
in this vicinity. Rockville had {
smelter, as did British Hollow. Thai
was before the day of the railroad.
Now there is not smelter nearer
than Mineral Point, so they tell me,
and there is not a mine in actual
operation in these parts. A citizen
Of Rockville, living in the very heart
of that city, put down hole in the
ground, in his front yard, last winter
and took out quite quantity of leaC
ore, but that is not mine.
In the recent days, when lead had {
real market value, the product of the
mines in this vicinity was shipped by
boat to ST. Louis, the local shelters
which were small affairs, having beer
put out of business. The high price
Of labor is charged with killing the
lead industry in this section.

COUNTY Superintendent OF SCHOOLS
]. c. BROCKERT TO PLATTEWLLE NORMAL
Files Resignation from Present Position to Take Effect Sept
1.--BeComes Head of New Department in the
Old Institution. Mine Years in
the Harness.

AS some have expected, County
Superintendent of Schools John
Clarence Brockert has decided to
change his position. He will remain
in the educational field-he is so
thoroughly equipped for that work
and so we'll in love with it that he
can think of undertaking no other
line.
1t is several weeks since it was
definitely decided at the Platteville
Normal to put into the curriculum a
new department, that of Training for
Rural School Teachers. When the
venture was decided upon President
William J. Sutherland offered the
position to Mr.. Brockert. And Mr..
Brockert wanted to undertake the
work, but he disliked to make the
necessary change. And he has had
the matter under serious considera-
tion ever since. Now he decides to
accept.
Nine years ago John Clarence
Brockert became identified with the
Office of county superintendent of
school in Grant county. For two
years he was an assistant under c..
H. Nye, who filled the principal posi-
ton so many years and so we'll. Then
Mr.. Nye decided to retire and Mr..
Brockert was elected superintendent.
His time will expire year from next
July. But he will resign at once, to
take effect Sept. 1, next.
To fill the unexpired term of Mr..
Brockert, State Superintendent Cary
will appoint man, and we have not
heard of any applications for the job.
There will develop a plenty of
material, we presume, when it be-
comes known that MIR. Brockert has
decided to make the change.
Mr.. Brockert was born in the town
of Waterloo, this county, about 40
years ago. He got the most of his
education by himself, and was kept SO
busy at it that he never had time to

GOLDEN WEDDING
AND HONEYNOONING
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerome Perry the
Happy Couple.
George Brown, MiIlviIIe, Helps His
Neighbors to Celebrate, Like
Good Fellow.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jerome Perry, Mill
vile, were in Lancaster on last Fri
day on their wedding trip George
Brown, mayor and everything else Of
Millville, came along with the young
couple as chauffeur and master of
ceremonies, as became his station as
chief functionary of his town when a
couple out of his constituency goes
on honeymooning tour. The party,
with Frank Perry, son of the lovers,
came over in Mr.. Browns Stude-
baker 4.
1t was honeymoon trip sure
enough, only it was in celebration of
the golden wedding of the worthy
pair. They got married over in
Crawford county, May Is, 1864, but
have lived in Grant county, at Mill
vile. Mrs. Perry was Nettie Young,
native of Evansville; Mr.. Perry is
native of Elgin, Ill. Never before
last Friday had Mrs. Perry been at
the capital of this good county. And
she liked Lancaster on sight.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Perry two chill
dren, son and a daughter, were
born. Frank, the son, lives near
Millville and has family. He says
he has a grandchild or two, but he
does not look the part. He ought to
makeup" before trying to pass
himself off on us for a granddaddy.
The daughter, Mrs Oren Foster, is
of Millville too. 1t looks as if the
Perrys may come to have some power
in the city of Millville, after George
Brown lets go his strangle hold.
The Perrys are strong numerically
and morally, but those Millvilleites
have taken on the Brown habit until
nobody else can be elected mayor.
And George is all right, even at
that. Not better fellow in Grant
county. And when we come to cele-
bratin' our golden weddin' we just
exactly hope to get George Brown to
take US honeymoonin' in his Stude-
baker 4. Wherever he drives we'll
ride and think we're having a good
time.
Mr.. Brown drove the Perrys out to
the poor house, not that they have
any use for it, bat so that they might
see where some of their taxes have
gone 1t was big day.

visitation on part Of the elements.
Threatening black clouds formed
about 9 a. M, the atmosphere
darkened to dusk and shifting all
currents betokened the brewing of q
disturbance. The warning was brief
and the storm soon broke in all its
fury. The wind attained tornado
velocity and great damage was
wrought throughout an unusually
large scope of country in the south
ern portion the state. Barns, tobacco
sheds and exposed buildings of every
kind were leveled. A deluge of rain
and hail followed, but havoc result
ing was due to the wind almost en-
tirely. Reports from adjoining
townships all indicate more or less
damage. The fair association was a
heavy loser, the enclosure fencing,
cattle sheds and band stand being
blown fiat. The greatest havoc oc-
Cured among the shade trees about
town, nearly half the dooryards in
the city contributing valued trees, or
portions of them, to the mass of
debris.
Muscoda Progressive-The entire
community for miles around Muscoda
suffered severely on Monday because
of an unusually heavy rain storm &C
companied by high winds and much
hail in some localities. In some Sec
lions the wind travelled with such
velocity as to blow several buildings
down. At Eagle Corners, Chas.
Higgins new cement block barn was
RACED to the ground and on the Dave
Vurnmirc farm large number of
trees were blown down, and damage
to trees and buildings all the way
west from Muscoda to Roscobel was
reported. In Boscobel the tobacco
warehouse and several smaller houses
were wrecked by the storm. Albert
Swenson farmer living south of
Boscobel had his barn blown down
while filled with stock. Lightning
also caused some damage. Albert
Sailing living south of Avoca had the
misfortune to have his barn struck
by lightning, Monday night, and
burned. Three calves that were in
the barn also persisted in the fire.

LAST WEEKS STORM RIPPED THINGS IN
GRANT COUNTY, And IN DANE COUNTY
Barns Were Its Speciality Although Spread 0uta Few Tobac
CO Sheds and Trees, So as to Avoid Showing
Any Partially. Much Damage.

Last Friday the Herald man came
up from Chicago on the early morn
ing train, and he could not help not
ing the evidences Of the power Of the
elements as they were shown in the
cyclone that passed round Madison 9
week ago last Monday. The first
traces of the heavy blow were seen al
Oregon, south of Madison on the main
line of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway.
On every side trees were uprooted
barns and other farm buildings were
either twisted out or shape of blown
clean down; the big signs that had
been put up along side the railway
tracks were smashed to kindling
wood. In many instances iron
roofing was torn from it's moorings
and scattered over the surrounding
country. One house we saw from
which every one of it's three chimneys
was RACED to the roof.
And from Madison to Dodgeville
one might see a plenty of rough
work. The most of the damage in
that region was to trees. Giant oaks
were twisted off as if they had been
slender reeds. Just west of the
station of Riley there has stood for
many years an old log house. 1t was
old the first time we say it, years
ago. This was unroofed and a few
logs were torn from the top of the
structure. 1t is said this was the
first home, in that neighborhood, of
the family of Riley, for whom the
village was named.
From the north end Of the county
come reports of severe storm that
visited that region on Monday of last
week. The news came too late for
last weeks Herad, so we now give
the news as it appeared in papers
published ION the spots -
The Boscobel Dial -Enterprise-The
worst storm of the season thus far
and one of the most severe ever
known in this section visited Bosco-
bel and vicinity Monday forenoon.
The weather was cool, considerable
rain had fallen during the night
previous, and no advance indication
was noted of such destructive

ask his father for assistance. He
taught country school in Waterloo
four years, in the good old days when
there were 81 pupils in attendance.
And he was slipping off to Platteville
Normal every chance he got to take
on some instructions in pedagogy.
Then he was called to the public
schools of Cassville, and of course
made good. Here he was five years,
and then went to Bagley. But this
engagement lasted only one year, be-
fore he came into the office of the
county superintendent. And there he
has remained. Few persons have
tried to dislodge him from his present
position; President Sutherland being
the first to succeed, at any rate.
Since the teaching of agriculture
came into public schools Superinten-
dent Brockert has been an ardent
champion of the study. He was a
farmer, he still is very much of a
farmer something of a "hayseed"
and in the new position to which he
goes he finds wider field of opera
tion than in the county job. Then
the school year is only nine months,
against II months in the superin-
tendent's position. He hopes his new
position will require only "a hours of
work per day, and six days per week.
AS county superintendent the day
never is long enough, and the week is
far too short. Yet nobody ever heard
Mr.. Brockert complain. He always
goes to the end of the road, and in
Grant county many of the roads are
not short.
This item will be read by many a
person. thousands of them-in Grant
county with genuine regret. Few
men in this county command the un-
limited confidence of the entire people
as does John Clarence Brockert. And
the teachers, well, we will let them
speak for themselves. They have had
a friend in Mr.. Brockert.

IS YEARS OF LIFE
WERE WELL SPENT
B. |. DugdaIe Stood High in the
Esteem of His Fellows.
Born in England; Came as Child
to America; Good Soldiers
Record.

At his home, three miles out of
Platteville, on Monday afternoon,
May 4, died Bryan Tiff Dugdale at
the age of rs. He had been sick but
a few hours; did not feel that he was
really i'll, and was sitting in his chair
when sudden heart failure ushered in
the end. His sickness had been
diagnosed as acute indigestion.
Mr.. Dugdale was born in Leicester,
England, the son of Robert and Ann
Dugdale, and came as a lad to
America with his parents. His
father settled 65 years ago on the
farm at which Bryan l. Dugdale
died. There the subject of this
sketch lived from the time his par
ents first bought it.
He was for four years soldier in
the union army, during the war of
the rebellion, and had many thrilling
experiences. After the close of the
war, in the year 1866, Mr.. Dugdale
married Miss Cynthia Holman, daugh-
ter Of Frederick Holman, a pioneer
in Platteville. To them six children
were born, one, a daughter, died in
infancy. The five sons lived to grow
to manhood, and all are still alive.
The widow also survives. The sons
are: Robert l., Charles, Frederick,
and James, of Platteville, and
Richard, of Madison.
In the social relations of life, Mr..
Dugdale was an Odd Fellow and a
member of the G. A. R. In the
fraternal order of Oddfellowship he
had held many positions of honor and
confidence. Besides filling every post
in his local lodge, he had represented
his state in the grand lodge of
America. He was at one time a
member of the county board of La
Fayette county, and held other posi-
lions of trust. He was, through his
65 years of residence near Platteville,
accounted one of the most upright of
citizens, a model husband and father.
Deceased was buried from his home
on Wednesday, May 6, the Rev. John
Hardcastle officiating. Interment was
made at Hillside cemetery. Odd
Fellows had charge of the service.
David Schreiner, G. H. Baxter,
Peter Henkel and Henry Nehls went
over from Lancaster to attend the
funeral. All had been intimate
friends of deceased for many years.
At the marriage of Mr.. Dugdale and
Miss Holman, 48 years ago, Mr..
Nehls "stood up" with the bridal
couple.

Crops Hump Themselves.

Still the crops are looking fine.
The heavy rains have not hurt any
thing, except some small patches of
tobacco plants in the north end of the
county. Grass has made wonderful
growth, oats are coming as fine as
ever was. The marvellous reports
from all over the country, which are
no doubt true, have nothing on Grant
county. Crops here are even better
than 95 per cent.

1t now develops that the reason
for moving the telephone office back
to the railway station was to try and
make it pay expenses. For some
reason the people of Lancaster would
not patronize the telegraph company
when it had down town office. At
the station the receipts are said to
equal or exceed $50 per month; while
at the city hall office they ran down
to about $50 per month. 1t is hoped
that the change will restore the in
come to old figures. 1t is said that
the management at the telephone office
was not in any way to blame for this
falling off. 1t seemed to come
naturally. People had been so long
in the habit of going to the station
to send kilograms that they refused to
change the habit to please the tele-
graph company. 1t is another case
of the mountain going to Mahomet,
because Mahomet again refused to go
to the mountain.

HandCar First Choice.

One who has to go out Of Ian
caster after 1:5O p. M, is in bad
shape. 1t is bad enough to be
obliged to travel on the jerkwater
trains of the Northwestern ;but to have
to go to Potosi and there catch the
midnight trains-that' worse than
pumping ones passage on handcar.
The Herald man did it last week, and
failed to get much fun. But he was
up against it and had to go.
