That Awful Weather.

Surely Lancaster and all of Grant
county have weather story thi 8
week. or there never will be a
weather story in these parts. Since
the last issue of The Herald, the
weather has been cold and sour, with
occasional dashes of cold rain. There
seemed to be nothing we'll ordered in
these rain storms; they came unan-
nounced and unbidden. When we
thought they were done for, then it
would dash in worse then ever. And
there was a lot of north wind.
Finally, to show that the weather
man has no regard for the conven-
tions of we'll regulated society, he
sent down from hades. or some other
bad resort, a snow storm on Monday
night. And it was a sure enough
snow storm. No, the snow did not
last long, because there was so much
rain with it that it melted directly.
AS we go to press, the wind is
veering between east, nor east and
straight north, with a velocity that
is hard to stem, and a razor keenness
that is hard TO stand. No harm tc
crops, except to discourage the sprout-
ing of planted seed corn.

0bituarY--Henkel.

At his home, 635 north Adams
street, this city, on last week Thurs
day, died Henry Henkel at the age of
81. Deceased was born in Germany,
June 20, 1884, and came to America
during the year 1869. After coming
to Lancaster, for he came direct to
Lancaster after landing, he married
Katherine Born, and since then has
lived in this vicinity. He was a
farmer for years, but of late has lived
in the city.
Deceased is survived by the widow,
Katherine Born HenkeI, daughter,
Adallnda now Mrs. John Buck, and
a son, Albert j.. principal of school
at Pardeeville. Mr.. Henkel was a
member of the German Evangelical
church for many years, and from it
he was buried SATURDAY. afternoon,

a man of the highest sense of honor,

Stanley Rinehart, whose injury

For two years there has been a
lame window in the front of the office
of the county treasurer. And the
treasurer man has worried nightly
about that piece of glass. The thing
got on his nerves to such a degree
that he pulled off his coat, last Fri
day, sent for Fred Garner to stand by
and hand him tools, swallowed his
vocabulary of explosives and went
after that window. There was some
thing wrong with the weights, he
thought, so he jerked the casing
loose, and sure enough, the cast iron
weight had rough and jagged edge.
tPins' suspected that this rough
ness was the cause nf all his pain,
so he mauled it with the hammer,
chased Fred after a file, wad of
sandpaper and a handful of steel
wool, and set to the task of wearing
the ridge to naught. The Herald
man happened in just then, and
offered a few salient and pointed
suggestions, but Mr.. Livingston was
in an unappreciative mood, so after
we had stuck few tantalizing pins
into his impatient temperamentality
we took sneak. But "Pins" really
thinks he fixed that window. At
least, he says he thinks so, which
amounts to the same thing, with him.
He had a close call to get the
aperture closed before the storm
broke, about O'Clock, and thus
saved the courthouse from deluge for
that storm came from the north. And
the thing still sticks, we ssir.

Semi Centennial of Emmanuel
Church.

Sunday, May 9, was the fiftieth
anniversary of the conservation of
Emmanuel church. The consecra-
tion was fittingly observed by the
faithful few, some of whom remem-
Der the event as children. Of the
adult pioneers, the only one now
living in this place was not we'll
enough to attend the services and was
sadly missed.
The early celebration could claim
the blessing of "the two or three,
of whom the writer was not one. The
midday celebration was fairly we'll
attended, considering that there are
so few even related to the pioneer
workers left alive.
The rector, Father Munday,
preached two excellent sermons, the
morning one containing brief re-
view of the history of the parish,
which was first known as "West-
wood parish" and as usual drawing
useful and inspiriting lessons there
from.
Among other interesting items of
history he told US that the church
owes it's beautiful and inspiriting
name to the suggestion of "a certain
Mrs. Hoyt." whereat few faces
lighted up with interest, one of
which was that of a great-gra
niece of hers, who is of course too
young to know anything about her ex-
cept by hearing of her from relatives.
One of the sweetest memories of
the writer's childhood, is of the oc-
casional visits of that sweet little
old lady, in her mourning calico"
dress and shaker and the ever
present knitting work, which she did
to raise money for her dear church,
and yet, in. the face of that beautiful
example of faith and devotion, there
have been but few of her many rela-
tives who followed in her steps,
though all loved and respected her.
May God grant that we mean what
we say when we give thanks for all
"Thy servants departed this life in
Thy faith and FEAR beseeching
Him for grace TO follow in their good
examples. Brethren of Emmanuel"
let US learn the. lesson of that Name,
and though we be few in number, let
US not be discouraged or "luke-
warm" but build well on the good
foundation which. our fathers have
laid. s'One of Them"

Stock Exchange Clerks Overworked.

New York-So tremendous has been
the volume Of trading on the stock ex-
change this week that several prom
inent brokerage houses announced that
they were considering the advisability
of asking the board Of governors OF
the exchange to declare Monday full
holiday, in order to give their over
worked clerks rest. Many firms have
been obliged to work their forces day
and night. In one house two clerks
were taken away in an ambulance in
an exhausted condition.
The exchange governors, when ap-
preached on the subject of closing the
exchange, maintained that they had no
right to cut off the security business

The promise was held out, however,
that should the great volume Of trad

Lottery Game Dies Natural

San Persons in all walks

to participate in the $4,000 capital
prize in San Francisco lotteries.
There was no formal order sent out

stood by the seven lottery companies,
as the result of an "order in council"
issued by the Police commission, that
.'the game" was off-at least for q
time.
The police Judge fined negro whom
a patrolman arrested with lottery tick
cts in his possession. The prisoner
said he would have to beg or steal now
that his occupation of selling lottery
tickets was taken from him. 1t was
admitted that the ousting of the lot
teries will cut off in fines accruing to
the city treasury thousands of dollars
a month.
It is also asserted that the death of
the game would throw upon the city
1000 indigents, men and women who
have been selling tickets. Some were
sent to the lottery companies by char
liable associations, it was said. One

WEST POCKET" WIRELESS SET IS
MADE PRACTICAL BY new YORKER

Bedford Hills, N. Y. A compact
and efficient wireless receiving and
sending apparatus, invented recently
by DR.. H. Barringer Cox, of this place,
is to be lent to one of the foreign pow
ers for use in the trenches, according
to announcement of the inventor.
The device, which may be strapped
around the waist and deftly hidden by
the folds Of cloak so as to be invis-
ible to an unsuspecting person, is in
reality a "vest-pocket" wireless ap-
paratus, as complete as any.
The sending apparatus consists of a
box in which are five dry cells and a
vibrator. The electric pulsations are
started by tapping telegraph key,
and the current, which the doctor says
is modified with a hidden transformer
Of his own invention, sends out its
messages in waves, long and short.
The equivalent to half watt, or one
eightieth as much as is required for
the ordinary electric light bulb is the
amount of electricity necessary. From
the box projects wire.
In warfare use this wire is carried
down the leg of the soldier and con
nected with a metal plate or spur ir
the shoe. The receiving instrument
consists of drum about which is 6
coil of wires. On top of this is fine
defiector. 1t has a pair of ear-pieces
such as is worn by telephone operators
| DR.. Cox can send and receive mes
sages by this instrument over dis
tance of 18 miles. When he desires
to receive message be raises his cane

New Coal Era Is Seen.

Eugene-The completion of the Will

Judge G. F. Skipworth is disqualified

1t will be possible to ship coal to

Judge Coke declares that the South

by the railroad, depth of $4,000 feet
on 32-degree slope has been reached,
he announced.

Banks Report Gains.

Salem = Rapid growth of business
during the past two months and an
early return to normal conditions are
indicated in the report Of Superintend-
ent of Banks Sargent, showing the
condition of banks in Oregon at the
close Of business September last. In
the combined statement of the 175
state banks and 88 national banks in
the state comparisons with correspond
ing figures of year ago point to a
general financial Improvement.
Although the total demand deposits
of all banks in the state, including bal
ances due to other banks, show de-
crease of 6,212, ,476.65 for the year,
there has been steady increase dur
ing the last three months. The state
ment Just issued shows gain of ST.
813, 538.12, since the statement o1
June 23 last.
Time and savings deposits continue
to grow and now reach grand tota
of $37, $50, 873.17, an increase of $2,-
379, ,672.88 since the statement OF
September year ago.
Rediscounts with the Federal re-
serve bank amount to $140,315.20,
having increased only $50, 525.5 81 since
the June call. Other rediscounts and
bills payable are unusually high at this
time of the year, amounting to ST.

Radio Phone Proven Success by
U. S. Navy Department.
FIRST EXPERIMENT SPANS CONTINENT
Conversation Is Carried On Between
Washington, D, c., and Naval
Station at Mare Island.

Washington, D. G. = Wireless tele-
phone communication across the conti-
nent was accomplished for the first
time Thursday, when experiments ex-
tending over several months culmi-
mated in successful transmissions Of
the human voice by radio from the
great naval plant at Arlington, Va,
to the station at Mare Island, CAL,
$500 miles away.
The experiments were conducted un-
der direction of Captain Bullard, chief
of the navy's radio service, in cooper
alton with the American Telephone Il
Telegraph company and the Western
Electric company.
Secretary Daniels, in announcing
the report, predicted that further de-
velopment Of wireless telephony would
make great changes in long distance
communication both for military and
navy service and commercial usage.
Successful operation Of device for
automatically transferring to the radio
telephone conversations originating on
metallic circuits also was accomplished
in the tests. President Vail and other
officials of the American Telephone &
Telegraph company at New York
talked easily with the Mare Island
station over an ordinary metallic line
to Arlington and thence by radio
across the continent.
'The fact that the voices can be
started on land wire and automatical-
ly transmitted to a voice radio-trans'
mitter," said Secretary Daniels,
"holds out hope that persons inlant
readily could be put in touch by tele
phone with others at sea through som'
central transmitting station"
The Navy departments formal an
nouncement in part followes:
Secretary Daniels is pleased t.
announce the successful outcome Of ex
periments which have been carried Oh
for the last few months by the Amer
ican Telephone & Telegraph compan!
and Western Electric company in co
operation with the radio stations undeI
the jurisdiction of the Navy depart
ment, by which long-distance wireless
telephony has been made possible. /"

Chicago Under Sunday Lid.

Chicago = Mayor Thompson, in a
message to the city council, announced
that the owners of all saloons in Chi
cago hereafter would be forced to obey
the state law, which provides that
they remain closed on Sunday. The
mayor ordered the city collector to
notify in writing all persons holding
licenses for saloons that they must
comply with the requirements of the
state law. For many years owners of
saloons in Chicago have defed the
state law governing their operation on
Sunday.
