Bishop w. A. Quayle will APP
pear here to give his lecture on June
2, instead of June 20, as was err
roniously stated in The Herald of last
week. A little naught may make a
lot of difference in the cal culatlons
of bishop, especially if he has
nothing to do with it. June 2 is the
day.

Angeles, CAL, died in that city one

last, quite bit Of agitation relative
to the location of the new turnpike
from Chicago to Galena, the good
people of Platteville thinking they
could defect the line to take in that
suburb of Lancaster. But, I'M
happily, those who had the locating
of the Grant Highway, as the road is
to be called, decided to stick to the
southern route. This fine highway
will not enter Wisconsin at all, but
will adhere to Illinois. about on a
line with Rockford, Freeport and
GaIena. 1t is to connect the park
systems OF Chicago with the park
systems of Galena, the big Grant
park of Galena. PlatteviIle made a
fight for consideration, but evidently
never won the consideration.
What will perhaps be the clos
ing chapter in the life of an unfortu
nate boy at Muscoda, was enacted
last week Wednesday. The boy is
Cyrus Mueller, the minor child who
bought liquor of Joseph Seifert, the
Muscoda saloon keeper, for which
the latter was convicted. At hear

that young Mueller is not only a
minor, but that he is non compos
mentis person, or that he is a
lunatic. The unfortunate boy has
been subject to epileptic spells, so it
was proved, and his weak mentality
has given way under the strain of
his troubles. It is not given out
what effect the taking of Mueller co
an asylum will have on the suit
pending against Siefert, charging him
with sunornatIon of perjury.
