F. A. Bracket of this city, the in
ventor of the Bracket electric driven
attachment as applied to the Barnes
Foot Power Mortiser, has entered into
an agreement with John c. Binney of
Chicago and George Angus of this city,
whereby the lessees take over the en-
tire output of the Bracket factory.
The selling concern will be known as
the Angus-Binney Sales Agency, and
their contract calls for1 900 mortisers
to be disposed of in the next five years
at the race of 200 machines year. Mr.,
Binney is a special engineer employed
by the Western Electric Co., of Chi
cago. The proposition as it stands re-
lieves Mr.. Bracket of all the detail
and bother of perfecting sales or
ganization and allows him a nice bus
mess in his mandatory. The manu-
featuring. assembling and shipping Of
the machine will be handled from Lam
caster, Mr. Binney maintaining the
sales end in Chicago. A fine future is
predicted for the inventor and the
live wires who have shown their faith
in the invention by contracting to
market it.

Business Men Meet and Discuss
It's Possibilities.
Affair at linda Friday Evening Wen At
tended and Many Suggestions
Made to Improve Conditions.

Last Friday evening saw the Lag-
caster business men gathered at the
Hotel linda in such large numbers that
they completely filled the large dining
room of that spacious hostelry and
overlooked into the hotel parlOrse
where the Lancaster band dispensed.
sweet music. After partaking OF 6.
dinner that the Lancaster hotels know
so well how to serve, the evenings
program opened by Chairman Henry
Henkel addressing the body of the ad
vantages of good fellowship and the
advantage of having occasional meet
ings where different needed improve
ments might be aired and something
started in a concrete way toward real
izing them.
Judge E. B. Goodsell addressed the
business in an informal talk and
touched upon several things that
would serve to make. Lancaster a bet
ter business point, one of them being
the development and cOmmercializa-
ton of Lancaster's great natural as
settle Klondike spring. The judge
pointed out the possibilities of selling
this water to other points not blessed
as we are with such excellent drink
ing water and his remarks found ap-
prevail of the body and the several
speakers who followed.
John Henkel was called upon for 8.
few remarks and made the excellent
suggestion that some action be taken
toward providing hitching rails for
the farmers teams so that the visitor
from the country will not have to hume
around for place to tie his team. The
chair appointed John Henkel and Fred
Barnett to look after them after and
make the necessary arrangements.
E. j. Austin suggested that 3 Farm
ers' telephone be placed in the stock
yards for the convenience Of the Ship
pers, and John Taylor spoke of the
need of having a Farmers telephone
in the city hall so that parts of the
city served by that company will have
communication with the city hall in
case of fire. Hannum Place and Joe
Mccoy were appointed to call on the
city council and ask that such an ar
rangement be made in each case
W. ]. Brennan said that a general
scheme of road oiling throughout the.
county would serve to improve the
roads, and in the long run, create fine
highways at a small mile cost Dr. A
J. Gault spoke of the need of having
sign posts in the country at the cross
roads as provided by the state law, and
suggested that some action be taken
along this line. A committee composed
of w. j. Brennon, Louis Vespermar
and A. Wepking, was appointed to CALI
upon the county board at the meeting
this week and take the two matters
up with that body.

COURT HOUSE CRIST
PAST SEVEN DAYS
Items of General Interest Picked
Up at County Building.
Circuit Court Holds Short Session.
DOugherty Sent to Green Bay
For Two Years.

Court last week contained no very
interesting cases after the disposition
of the celebrated John O'NeiIl will
case in which Judge Higbee rendered
an opinion in favor of the defendant
and also made some very pointed re-
marks about the case.
Judge Clementson resumed the
bench on Wednesday and disposed of
a number of civil cases. The case of
John Boak VS.. Jerry Cox was disposed
of, verdict being found for the plain
tiff. This was a matter of amending
a deed to two lots and house in the
city of BoscObel, wrong description
benign ade at the time of tn transfer.
The case of Louis P Henkel VS.
David Freymiller was on the same or
der being the correction of a deed on
a piece of property in the town Marion
John Cooper of Muscoda, was grant
ed a divorce from Matilda j. Cooper
as was Ona Tilledge of Boscobel, in
her plea for divorce from William Til
lodge. John Weisbenner was granted
divorce from Mary Weisbenner.
the town of Harrison, ct al VS. Mary j.
Kaump ct al, the court ruled in favor
Of the plaintiff In this case Mr..
Kaump, who is a cripple having had
his hands blown off in a dynamite ex-
plosion some years ago, had decided
the property in which he had a part
interest to his sisters, his intention be-
i'm To IL - L.
had expressed himself so that it APP
peared that he had parted with his en-
tire interest in the farm The court
held that Mr.. Kaump had no such in
tention when he made out the trans
fer, and directed that a reformation
Of the deed be arranged. An order
for partition and directing a sale was
signed in the case of Gilbert Gilbert
son VS. Caroline Nelson ct al. The
same action was taken in the case of
Adam BOIL ct al and L. F. Wells ct
al and F. j. Taylor VS. ]. Leroy Tay-
Tor.
In the case of the State of Wiscon-
sin VS. Charles F. Dougherty of Musco-
da, the defendant received a sentence
of two years in the reformatory at
Green Bay. Young Dougherty was be-
fore the court last March on a charge
Of forgery, and received clemency at
the hands of the court in the form of
parole under the supervision of the
state board of control. Dougherty
went to Dubuque, and recently uttered
some more paper which bore his hand
writing that were not signed by part
ties whose names were written there
on, and the Iowa authorities turned
the young man back to the Wiscon-
sin officials. Young Dougherty made
strenuous plea for another chance,
but was told by the court that the
best interests of society and his flu
ture welfare demanded a reformatory
sentence.
A number of judgments were signed
and court was adjourned on Friday.

All charges Of fraudulent practices
on the part OF American producers
ought to be promptly sifted. II such
statements are true. we should know
II. II they are false, let there be an
end OF them.
The theory that II is profitable to

At the present moment, when new

taken that American products are all

By CHARLES HENRY ADAMS.

Great Britain grows restless over
the manner In which It's ministers are
conducting the war. Mysterious ten.
sion is felt. The country has an un.
easy sense that Its leaders are d.
vided.
But Is the Nation itself Of one
mind or heart? Nothing has been
more sadly evident OF late than that
many Britons are thinking not so
much Of what they can give their
country as what they can get out
Of II.
The ominous strike Of the dock Ia.
borers some weeks ago has been fol-
lowed by other signs OF a similar sort.
This week employees OF the London
street railways struck and tied up
nearly 1900 trolley cars because their
demand for a war bonus In the shape
OF increased wages was refused.
Munit'on makers listen more willingly
70 the trades union leaders than to
the pressing needs OF the Nation. Men
and machines stand idle because
union rules forbid them to work. And
now a great coal strike is threaten

Antiuuity Of Wheat.

There Is evidence that the Chinese
cultivated wheat nearly 5000 years
ago, regarding It as n direct gift from
heaven. The Egyptians attributed II
to their god Isis and the Greeks to
Ceres. Concerning the latter II was
believed that when she had taught her
favorite, Tripiolemus. how to Till the
soil and make bread she gave him her
chariot. and In that he traversed the
world. distributing corn to all nations
Wheat growing In Egypt can by the
evidence OF n grain found Embedded

back to $3.50 u. @. Varieties OF wheat
are legion. A French trm In Its trial
