Bleeding Kansas is again calling
for harvest hands. The sunfower state
places her needs mndestly, which is
Just like Kansas, when she asks for
only 10000 hands. Two weeks hence
she will cry aloud for more than
double that number.
"A student in Beloit college won
The Interstate oratOrical contest,
week before last at Appleton. That
is, four out of five judges gave the
BelOit boy the preference for first
place, which seems to settle 1T pretty
we'll. The Illinois cand idate got
second place, and the Ohio boy third.
"A fair sample of the economy in
public affairs may be instanced in
the recent delivery to the rooms of
the supreme court, in the new capitol
building at Madison, of three oil
paintings. These cost, either $28,
600 for the three, or $28, 900 each.
1t makes little difference which way
one puts it, so long as it is mention
ed in the name of economy.
Friends and admirers of Frank
E. Long, we'll known theatrical man,
will learn with regret of his death in
a sanitarium at Minneapolis last
week Monday. His home was at
Mason City, Iowa, where interment
took place. Mr.. Long and his COM
pany made this city regularly for
number of years and Mr.. Long was
always known as a genial, whole
souled fellow, who made many friends
here. He had been in failing health
for several years.
Two changes have been made by
the county board of education in the
boundaries of school districts, one of
which is known to The Herald. This
was in the town of Ellenboro, in
which certain tract CT land was
taken from district No. and aided
TO district No. 3. The land be-
longed to William Mathews Over
IN Patch Grove a movement was on to
make a change in the boundary of
district No. A. but the county board
said 'tnay." And a Cassville town
case was dismissed for want of iuris-
diction. The county board of educa-
tiOn is getting busy.
AS was announced in The Herald,
week before last, commencement
exercises will be conducted at Hatch's
opera house on Thursday forenoon.
The address will be delivered by DR..
Silas Evans, president of RIpon col
aege, and there will be delightful
music. Surely parents, and all
patrons of the Lancaster public
schools, will be in attendance at this
event. In the evening, at the same
place. will be given the junior recep-
ton at 8 O'Clock, which will be fol
lowed by dance, to begin at 10
O'Clock. And with that the school
year will end, except for session on
Thursday afternoon.
To-day there Will be let at the
office of the county highway commits
sioner, IN the court house, two big
road contracts, for work to be done
In the towns of Paris and Jamestown.
These are pretty good jobs, and are
worth while to look after. 1t will |
require lot of such contracts, and |
the fulfiliment of them, to make the |
mills and hOllows of Grant county to |
conform to present day conditions.
We are living in a day that demands
quick and easy transportation, not on
railway trains alone; but on the high
ways of the country as we'll. Another
contract IS to be le- soon, for i'm
proving the streets of Montfort. An
advertisement of this job appears in
another column of this issue of The
Herald.
While it is bit contrary to the
ethics of the profession of newspaper
making to extend too much free
advertising, and it certainly is con-
trary to the commercial interests of
the newspaper-maker to extend too
much free advertising, yet The
Herald must again mention the free
employment enterprise that has been
SO successfully conducted this spring
IL =, W. Hill, of Lancaster State
bank. A little boost to a pro bono
Publico enterprise should rot quite
come in the same classification as
free advertising that is be-
side the point. Mr.. Hill not only
placed the Polish man, who was
thrust upon him last week, where he
had chance to earn all the wages
