Many people have an idea that only
the compositions of the old masters
are classical and frequently imagine
that these are classical because they
belong to the past It Is not antiquity
or the name of the composer that de-
termines whether piece of music is
classical or otherwise. The true mean
ing OF classical music is: Compost
lions which maintain q certain STAN
dard; music OF the first rank Cempo-
sitions can be classical and romantic
at the same time. The word romantic,
as applied to music, means imagina-
tive, fairylike. Music which is clas-
steal and at the same time romantic,
is more emotional. more fanciful,
more poetic and less rigid and formal
than strictly classical compositions.
For example, Bach's works are, more
frequently. strictly classical. whereas
Mendelssohn's and Schumann's kre
both classical and romantic

CHESTER KANOUSE SENT
TO PRISON FOR LIFE

Chester Kanouse of Bell Center, who
was arrested at Hub City on charge
of having slain VIM. Kipp, the aged
shoemaker, and robbed him OF $500,
pleaded guilty to murder in the first
degrees in justice court at Prairie du
Chen last week. He was brought to
Grant county by states attorney M.
R. Munson and Sheriff Nugent of
Crawford county so that he could plead
before Judge ClementsOn and receive
his sentence. The officials met Judge
CIementson at Fennimore Monday on
his way to hold court at Darlington.
The prisoner was taken to Darlington
where he was sentenced for life at
Waupun. He was taken there Tues
day.
Kanouse is described as a stocky
built young man of % years, stolid
in appearance and apparently without
feeling. According to reports he made
his confession without realizing what
the penalty is for first degree murder,
and later, at the advice of an attorney,
wished to change his plea. The senior
Kanouse dissuaded him feeling that
the case was hopeless and that the
money would be wasted in defense.
Young Kanouse went to Waupun still
wearing his air of uncOncern.

MARY WEBB ENTERTAINED.

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 11.-Miss Mary
Webb, of Lancaster, was a guest Fri
day night at one of the prettiest col
lege events of the early winter, a
Christmas party given at the fratern-
ity house, by the sigma Epsilon fra
ternity of Lawrence college.
The rooms were lighted with many
candles and were gayly decorated
with evergreens, the main feature of
the decorating, however, being huge
Christmas tree laden with gifts and
bright colored trimmings. All the
rooms were the scenes of particular
games, which we're played in progress
sive order.
Late in the evening refreshments
were served, after which music by the
fraternity quartet. consisting of Her
man Smith, Theodore Sloat, William
Eddy and Dan Preston, was enjoyed.
Before leaving each guest was pre-
scented with a sham present from the
Christmas tree, the gifts being as pre-
tentious as possible and a take-Off on
the person to whom they were given.
Miss Webb is the Y. w. @. A. repre-
sentative in the student senate. She
is a daughter of James I. Webb of
Lancaster.

KLINDT-GEIGER STORE ROBBED.

The Klindt-Geiger store at CassVllIe
received another visit from night Prov
lers last Wednesday night. The rob-
hers cut a hole in the plate glass OF
the door on Front street in an effort
to pick the lock and this failing,
smashed the door and gained entrance
1t is not known just how much was
taken, but the cash drawer in the shoe
department was ransacked and a small
amount of change taken. This depart
ment and others were given the "once
over by the thieves judging by ap-
pearances.
The owners notified the authorities
at once and penned off the shoe de-
partment so that any scent there
would not be destroyed. Mr.. He'll went
TO Boscobel and met Mr.. Sharp OF
Richland Center with the bloodhound.
The party arrived on the scene at
about 2 o'clock and a thorough search
was commenced. The hound led the
wav I'D town to the back room OF a
saloon and then turned and went to
the boat landing. There the trail was
lost. After taking the dog up and
down the river without success the
search was commenced on the Iowa
side Friday morning. Mr.. He'll, Mr.
Sharp and the dog, went to Beuna Vista
and Turkey River junction, in an eff
fort to pick up the trail but without
any luck. The hound acts with great
decision when it seems to have the
scent and it is also very evident when
it is at a loss as to what to do.
Up to the present writing no trace
has been found of the miscreants.

WRIGHT Hotel BANQUET
LAST FRIDAY EVENING
Business Mems Meetings Are
Becoming Monthly Affair.
This Last Was Most Successful Yet.
Important Matters Discussed.
Action to Be Taken.

While the meeting of the Lancaster
business men held last Friday evening
at the Wright house was not as large
~ attended as some of the preced-
ing ones it was perhaps the most sue
cessful and productive of good Of any
up to this time.
Following the usual generous spread
which was literally partaken of the
hungry guests and smoke OF most
excellent Lancaster cigar, DR.. j. II.
Fowler, the POSTMASTER, brought up
the business of the evening. DR.. Fow-
ler's remarks were along the line OF
development and progress in ways
that the town might be reasonably
expected to develop and he touched
on the things that might reasonably
be expected as necessary in the future.
His address was given close attention
and found hearty approval from his
audience.
The report of the committee on oil
ing highways which appeared before
the county board during the November
session, was made. The county will
spend $4,000 for road dragging and
oiling in the ensuing year. The COM
mittee on securing telephone service
at the city hall reported that the farm
ers' service had been placed by the
council as requested. The council de-
clined to allow the telephone in the
stock yards.
The committee on program brought
up the question of having a proper
municipal building erected to replace
the present time-worn structure and
the matter was discussed generally
and at length. A committee composed
of Henry Henkel, r. w. Adams and H.
z. Schreiner, was appointed to investi-
gate some of the municipal plants
built in the surrounding territory, not
ably at Richland Center and Mineral
Point They will get the sentiment of
the people of these towns on how they
regard their investment and some data
as to the cost ana method of financ-
ing.

uary is to q was discussed and a COM
mittee consisting of A. L. Sherman, l..
H. Stevens, David Crichton, Ernest
All, george Beck, j. 6dfOIu HuSH anu

WANT AID RESULTS.

A lady called at the Herald office
last Tuesday evening just as we were
going to press and earnestly request
ed us to put in small classified adj
vertisement of lost fur piece, which
we did. The next morning about $3.50
o'clock a young lady walked into the
office bearing the missing scarf with
her. She had found it, and getting the
paper early in the morning looked up
the loser and delivered the neck piece
to this office just few hours after
the paper was printed. Quick results
and a moral.

| LANCASTER STORE
! CHANGES HANDS

January first will see the change in
ownership of one of the Oldest and
most fiourishing firms in Lancaster.
On that date Louis Alt, the veteran
grocery and meat man will turn over
the reins of his business to Ellie Dob
son of Ellenboro.
Mr.Alt, while having sold his bust
ness complete including the building,
will not be absent to his many old
friends for a long time tc come for he
ard his sons will remain in the store
1cr an indefinite period and with the
exception of the owners lip, things will
continue just as they have i'll The past.
During his forty-eight years resi-
dence in this country Mr.. Alt has ac-
complished a great deal. Coming to
America and Grant county at the age
of II, he went to work the day follow
ing his arrival and has worked almost
continuously ever since. His first job
was on a farm in North Lancaster
and he worked there and at odd jobs
for four years. Then he entered the
employ of Charles Schmidt and spent
one year as a butcher. The next ven
ture was a business one lasting for
six months where the Phillips house
now stands. Mr.. Ats generously
here exceeded his judgment and in a
short time he was ready to go back to
wages. The next nine years was spent
with Nathan & Schreiner, the old Lam
caster firm. Leaving there Mr.. Alt
went to work for JOS. Nathan, and was
with him for IL years.
1893 saw the launching of the
present store which is known all over
Wisconsin and remembered by every
visitor to Lancaster.
G.. H. Basford then and now prOmi-
nent in local affairs told Mr.. Alt that
he was moving to North Dakota when
he selected his location on West Maple
street, but Mr.. Alt relates that Mr..
Basford and many old friends came to
patronize him and help along the en-
terprise. For several years the store
occupied quarters where the S & 5
store and the music store are now,
and in 1904 Mr. Alt purchased the pres
ent location and with his sons .Arno
and Hubert opened their model groc-
cry and meat market.
The business as it stands is known
to all. Mr.. Alt has always enjoyed a
high reputation for honesty, frugality
and industry. He steps from the head
of an enormous business to turn it
over to a younger man. He will re-
main with his successor for some time
giving him every assistance. Lancas-
ter people hope that the reclining
years of Mr.. and Mrs. Alt will be hap
ply ones.

SHERIFF'S PRISONERS
ATTEMPT DELIVERY

Frank He'll, the genial and efficient
sheriff of Grant county had his faith in
the honor of his prisoners badly shat
tered Sunday of last week when after
a careful examination of the ornament
al iron work in the county bastile he
found that two of the bars on the Jail
er's walk had been sawed away and
apparently some of his guests were
preparing to leave their hospitable
winter quarters. Miss Merwin, the
young lady employed by Mrs. He'll,
heard sounds in the Jail that listened
suspiciously. She informed Mr.. He'll
who at once searched the jail careful
" with the result above stated. Frank
at once locked the five prisoners in
their cells and searched them for files.
In the cell of Harry Williams, the man
locked up for burglarizing the Klindt-
Geiger store in Cassville, Mr.. He'll
found two small saws of local manu-
facture. One of them was in the pris-
oner's clothes and the other concealed
under the iron work of the cage. Care
full questioning elected no information
from the prisoners, so Mr.. He'll took
liberties away from them for few
days.
Suspicion points to Williams as being
the one responsible. Those confined at
the time of the attempted delivery
were Harry Williams, Walter New
comb, of Boydtown; Albert Happy"
Thrasher, the Mineral Point lineman;
William Nichols, of Platteville; Edw.
Johnson of BoscObel.
If the prisoners had gained egress
to the outer corridor they would still
have had the heavy bars on the win
dows to saw through-no mean task.
Mr.. He'll is taking no chances with his
guests now.

BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT.

The basket ball tournament held
/ last Thursday night, resulted in well
learned victory for the seniors. A fair
sized, enthusiastic crowd witnessed the
games and saw some good, snappy bas-
/ ket ball. Each class had a section OF
seats reserved in certain parts of the
! hall and tried to Guido the other class
/ es in cheering. Though greatest rivalry
existed between the juniors and SEN
ior classes, the latter were victorious.
Several fellows showed up" better
than was expected and when practice
starts for the first team, there will be
a merry scrap" for positions.
The juniors and sOphOmores met in
the first game and the former won
easily, PAT. Captain Edwards, Gid
er and Jordan played very good while
the work of Captain Oyer and Gault
of the sOphomores featured.
The juniors experienced little diff
fcuIty in downing Capt. Edwards
freshmen team Score 1874. The work
of Capt. Blackbourne and Angus of the
| juniors was the feature of that game
The surprise of the tournament was
/ the victory of the sOphomores over
the freshmen. Playing good scrappy
game, they pushed the yearlings into
last place, score 1910. Gault and Oyer
scored all of the points for the sopho-
mores.
The last and deciding game was
battle royal Seniors and juniors both
were determined to win but the seniors
emerged from the rough conflict vic
| toriOus, 1916. Only two fouls were
called. At the end of the first half the
score stood 90, and with five minutes
to play in the second half, the score,
60, in favor of the juniors, the SEN
iors started rally and won we'll
earned victory. Henkel and Krohn
of the juniors, played very good, con-
sidering it was the first time they had
ever played.
