ANOTHER SHORT SESSION
OF CIRCUIT COURT is HELD
Two Persons Plead Guilty to Grim
inal Charees--A Divorce
is Granted.

Circuit court has had another ses-
sion for the trial of issues of fact fo1
the court, and to listen to the pleas
of a few persons charged with
criminal offenses. Thomas Dray was
brought from Richland county and
given a chance to plead to statutory
charge, which he did by saying
guilty" The court thereupon i'm
posed sentence of three years upon
him, and suspended it.
George Wyman, charged with
"bootlegging' pleaded guilty, and
was fined 500 and costs. He had
no money, but allowed that if he
were given chance he would go out
and earn it. The alternative to the
fine and costs was Jail term of three
months. Last we heard of him was
his looking for a job. He has decid-
ed that bootlegging is precarious
and thankless occupation.
Bessie Alderman was granted a
divorce from Hartsell Alderman. The
defendant evidently was willing-he
did not appear. The parties lived in
the neighborhood of Boscobel.

ZINC STILL SHOWS
A RISING MARKET
A Review of the Situation Very
Encouraging.
Reports from Nearby Fields Indicate
That Production Tries to Keep
Pace with Demand.

From the zinc regions come such
marvellous tales of production, that
The Herald will give its readers a
few clippings from one of its ex-
changes. Even down in the Potosi
field, where there has been no activity
for the last few years, things seem
to be picking up.
At Cuba City, last week, thirteen
cars of raw ore were unloaded at the
National Separating works, and about
1000 tons is now held in bin await
ing treatment. The company, as
usual, made high grade ore clearing
seven cars for the Illinois Zinc Co.,
283 tons; and one car for the Gras-
SELLS Chemical Co., forty three tons.
The capacity of the plant is sixty tons
or two cars daily.
In the Benton field the Calvert
mine delivered one car, forty -one
tons; Wilkinson two cars, seventy
nine tons; Martin four cars, 165
tons all to Cuba; Fields one car,
forty tons to DePue; Fox mine, five
cars, 22O tons; Penna Benton two
cars, seventy mine tons, all to Mineral
Point; Bull Moose mine to GrasseIlis
three cars, 128 tons; Champion to
Campbell separators 3 cars, 120 tons
four cars to Empire Roasters, 100
tons.
The Kittoe mine is being developed,
two shifts going night and day on the
shaft. The Wilkinson mine is going
night and day on the shaft. The
Wilkinson mine is going with thirty
men and producing sixty to 100 tons
of zinc ore weekly.
Down at Hazel Green, the Kennedy
mine cleared four cars last week for
the Mineral Point Zinc Co., 160 tons !;
Cleveland mines five cars, POP tons
to DePue; all high grade wet con-
centrates. Three cars of zinc ore
came from the WiA.kill last week,
III tons.
The Vinegar Hill Zinc Co. is dis
playing unusual activity in this dis
trict. Thirty-five men are handling
the Unity mine making 500 tons of
zinc ore monthly.
At Mineral Point, thirty cars of
raw ore were received from local
producers lastweek, 1,18O tons; de-
Iiveries were made from the hearths
in operation at the old acid works of
fourteen cars high grade calcined ore,
1 $50, 900 pounds.

WeICh-Yager Wedding.

At the Methodist parsonage, il
Cassville, on Wednesday, March 10,

C. A. R. SCARCE IN
STATE LEGISLATURE
Four Years Ago There Were
lust Two.
Hon. David Schreiner Was Then {
Member of the AssembIy--He
Renews Friendships.

In a recent issue, The Madison
Democrat printed an interesting item
regarding the Hon. David Schreiner of
Lancaster, and his services in the leg
islature:
David Schreiner of Lancaster,
among the last of the veterans of the
civil war to serve as a legislator
in Wisconsin, is in the city and yes
terday greeted old time friends in
the state house.
Mr.. Schreiner was member of
the assembly In 1911 and now, after
only four years, he finds but few of
the members of that body still serv-
ing. Some there are, however, not
ably Alex Johnson, Lentz of Dodge
county, Nye of Superior, Pickarts of
Fond du Lac, Wells of Grant, Spoor of
Green Lake, Mortenson of juneau,
Carl Hansen of Manitowoc, Metcalfe
of Milwaukee, Vint of Milwaukee,
Weber of Milwaukee, Ballard of
Outagamie and Kay of Pierce; Messrs.
Potts and Bichler, who then were in
the assembly, have been promoted to
the senate. The rest of the hundred
are not there.
In that assembly were two civil
war veterans, Mr.. Schreiner and
Simon Smith or Beloit. In the
present one there is none, neither is
there one in the senate, and it is
more than likely that never again
will one of the old soldier boys be
enlisted to serve as law-maker; for
the whirligig of time is bringing the
veterans to that period of life where
they prefer to leave to younger men
the active duties while they them
selves may occupy the vantage points
as counselors.
Mr.. Schreiner now is 70 years of
age but he bears himself with an
erectness and martial dignity that
has marked his personality ever since
that bloody strife of more than half
century ago, when he left an arm
upon the battlefield before Atlanta,
in August 1864. His interest III
affairs is keen and evidently he is
enjoying this old world as greatly as
ever.
Simon Smith, by the way, also was
a recent visitor in Madison, remain
ing for week or more, guest of many
friends. He, too, seemed in good
health and gave every evidence of
enjoyment of the companionship of
his fellows and all the other good
things of life.

Keep Off the Lawn.

1t has happened several times late
ly that people have walked across the
lawn at the North school few days
ago some one even drove across.
Now this is the season of the year
when this does an unusual amount of
damage; and it is respectfully asked
that every one who travels past the
North school, and who might oc-
casionally find it convenient to go
across the lawn, will please remem-
Der to use the walks and the street.

Milwaukee Is Thankful.

Justice C. w. Burrows is in receipt
of letter, relative to the clothing
that was collected by the women OF
this city and forwarded to organized
charities in Milwaukee. The letter
reads:
''Will you please express to the
ladies of Lancaster our gratitude for
the barrels and cartons of clothing
which we received last month? Their
kindness merited an earlier reply,
but we have been very busy feeding
and clothing people, and the pressure
has been so great that any work
which could be laid aside has been
put over until there was lull in our
efforts. We greatly appreciate the
assistance of the Lancaster people. I"
This was signed by MRS Katherine
L. Van Wyck, general secretary.

WHERE AND HOW TO
SPEND THAT S4S,3OO
For Road Building in James.
town and Paris.
Two Hills to BE Reduced in Grade;
One May Cost as Much
as $4,000.

How and where the townships OF
Paris and jamestown are to spend
their $48, 800 In road building is
another story. How they raised the
money is a good story of finance,
but the activities that sum of money
can produce surely are worth recount
ing.
All winter there has been work
gong on in raising the grade of the
fill across the river bottom leading to
Eagle Point bridge. The story of
that work appeared in the columns of
The Herald in its issue of January 6.
And that work is we'll under way, for
all the cold weather and heavy frost.
The strip is about mile long, and
leads across Sinnipee lake, or as it is
popularity called, Suntish lake.
With the opening of spring, it is
expected that real work will start on
fixing the grade from the eastern end
of this fill, up the big jamestown
hill to Sandy Hook, the top of the
ridge. This hill now is a mean one,
either to go up, or to go down. In
places it is said the grade equals Is
per cent, and it is the aim of High
way Commissioner j. H. Mink to re-
duce this TO an average of z per
cent.
In order to bring about this change
of grade, without going at 1t by brute
force, several changes in location will
be necessary. If the grade were to
be made as the road now runs the
cuts and fills would be of prohibitive
cost, so the hard places will be avoid
ed by making the course more crook
ed. This stretch of hillside is about
one mile in length and it is estimat-
ed that the cost of making it reason
ably passable, and of macadamizing
the whole stretch, will come near tt
the $4,000 mark.
From Sandy Hook, on the ridge tor
overlooking the river, to Keller is
about two and half miles, and the
road is good generally. 1t is ridge
about all the way. And from Keller
to Dickeyville is another stretch Of
good road. And then, in the process
SEES of creation, something happened
just north of Dickeyville. There is
another bad hill, and in order tC
get around impossible grades a gooC
part of it for stretch of about half
mile will need to be relocated. II
fact there are two tough places north
east of Dickeyville, and then the
sailing into PlattevilIe is pretty
good.
1t is estimated that the county
highway commissioner can make
way with that tidy sum of $48, 800
without lying awake of nights.
is said that in the processes of crea
tion down in that section of thu
county, Dame Nature provided facili
ties for the easy and comfortable
spending of large sums of money, il
one would travel in half-humar
way.

Open-Air Schools in Wisconsin,

Four cities in Wisconsin have open
air schools, namely, Kenosha, Racine,
and Milwaukee with ore school each,
and Green Bay with two shoots.
Madison will soon have an open air
school. Oshkosh has provided for
such school in new ward building
The first open air school in the
state was provided for by the Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis association
as prize awarded to the city of
Kenosha in the 1910 Red Cross
Christmas seal sale, and it is largely
to the efforts of the same association
that the other open air schools have
been established.

Guilty and ParOIed.

C. F. Dougherty, age 25 and
married, was arrested at Prairie du
Chen, Friday. by constable Groth
and brought here Saturday morning.
The warrent charged forgery as the
offence, it being alleged that Mr.
Dougherty had passed forged check
upon Joe Siefert, who was the com
planning witness. Mr.. Dougherty
waived examination before Justice
Wheeler who bound him over to
circuit court. In default of bail he
was taken to Lancaster, Saturday
and placed in charge of the sheriff
until his case can be tried. -Muscoda
Democrat.
In this case the forgeries were COM
mitted by young Dougherty on his
father, very respectable citizen of
Muscoda. The father came over to
Lancaster, and asked that the boy be
given one more chance. Thereupon
he was paroled and went home with
his father, promising to lead more
circumspect life in the future. 1t is
charged that this is another booze
case.

MORE EXCITEMENT At
VILLAGE OF BURTON
]. ]. Martins Residence Burns
to the Ground.
Stock in Nearby Store is Moved Into
Street, Fearing Fire
Might Spread.

Hard luck. If there is such a thing
abroad, has again hit j. j. Martin,
the genial merchant at Burton. In
the last issue of The Herald we were
called upon to announce the robbery
of his store; now the burn ing OF his
residence must be reported.
Last week Wednesday evening, tlre
was discovered in the Martin resi-
dence, that was near the store build
ing, and before any considerable help
might be rallied, the flames were
beyond control. The villagers came
out with buckets and pals, hut the
volunteers were late in arriving. 1t
was feared that the store building
would be involved, and to save the
stock of goods it was deemed advis-
able to move it into the street. This
was done with small ceremony.
But the store building was saved,
and after the excitement had subsidized
the merchandise was restored to the
shelves. The house was total loss.
1t seems that Mr.. Martin used only
one room in the house for a residence
the balance of the space was occupied
for storage. Not only the building
was burned, but the contents as well
went up in smoke. Seldom has Bur-
ton seen so much excitement. The
good people came out with good will,
and worked with spirit.
How the fire originated is some
thing of a mystery. Mr.. Martin
built a small fire in the stove that
was in the room he occupied for him
self, but he says he put little wood
on that fire. The confiagration seem
ed to have started on the second floor,
near the chimney.
So far as may be estimated at this
time the loss by the fire was in the
neighborhood of $500, the value of
the portion IF his merchandise that
he kept stored in the house. OF course
there was some loss by reason OF
carrying the stock from the store to
the street and back again, but of that
there is not now so much as an esti-
mate.

FOot-and-MOuth Disease Again.

Again has the foot-and- mouth
disease broken out down toward Free
port. This time it is reported to be
in herd of cattle belonging to Gust.
Ferstadt, about four miles south of
Browntown. 1t is said that Ferstadt
is a rente and that he formerly
lived OIL farm near the Clyde
Atkins place, where the dread disease
recently broke out. A later report
gave out that still another herd in
the same neighborhood, belonging to
August Kent. had been placed under

A PRINCES RANSOM
FOR ROAD BUILDING
Two townships Have Available
Enormous Sums.
Paris and jamestown May Expend
Together More Than S46, 900
This Year.

While the returns from the town,
village and city collectors to the
county treasurer seem to be coming
in slower than usual, some of the
towns are making up for their
dilatoriness by the volumes they turn
in. This is especially true Of the
towns of jamestown and Paris. They
have put into the county treasury
rousing sums for road work.
Take the town of Paris for a
starter. The town collector brought
to the county treasurer, fer the road
fund, no less than $7,1OO collected
and received from various sources, to
be used on the highways of that
township. The citizens of Dubuque
contributed $500, so it is said ;
bonds were issued for quite a sum,
and then the balance was got through
direct taxation.
But it was left to jamestown to do
the really big thing. The town
treasurer brought in the stupendous
sum of 1000 for road building in
that town. This, like the amount
raised in Paris, is John Longbotham
scheme, and it worked. 1t is said
that the city of Dubuque (citizens of
Dubuque) gave $500, which con-
tribution was augmented by a gift of
$500 by the sisters at Sinsinawa.
Then bonds were issued for the sum
of So, 900-or for a sum to meet
the contributions-and 81, 200 was
got together by taxation. That
boosted the sum to $4,000, which is
lot of money for road.
But this is only one third of the
story; the real story is yet to come.
AS the towns put into the county
| treasury those two enormous sums for
road building, under the state aid
act each will draw like sum from
the county of Grant, and again like
sum from the state of Wisconsin,,
mat means that the township OF
Paris will have-really, now has
/ IllS SUN VI spZ1, OOO avail
able for road work within the narrow
limits of its six by six miles. But
| the story about jamestown is more
dazzling. 1t has az ailable for road
work the sum of $27, 900, Which is
an unheard-of sum for such a pur-
pose in this section of the country.
Together, these two towns, which
| join each other, may use $48, 300 in
making new, and remaking old roads.
They are good towns; they have ex-
cellent soil and an abundance of
water; they have excellent location
with reference to the markets that
are available to the south end of the
county. But they never have had
good roads. Now they propose to
eliminate their one material draw
back.
1t is doubtful if Grant county in it's
entirety has had as much money to
spend on roads il. a single year, with
the possible exception of 1914, as is
now available to these two towns.
And it should be remembered that

Important, if True.

$50 bushels of wheat from a 81 acre
lot. for which he received $1402. so,
or at the rate of $1.65- per bushel.
Others around Brodhead are planning
