MAKE READY EARLY TO
OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY
Meeting Is Called at City Hall to
Perfect Preliminary
Arrange

Memorial day is to be this year the
event it usually is in this community,
arrangements will need to be started
very soon looking to that end. At
torney Frank G. Meyer is in charge
of the preliminary arrangements and
he is very anxious that the program
shall be a fixed and announced at the
earliest possible date.
Sure, the veteran boys in blue
will be out and no doubt will play
the most important part in the event,
but the day has a wider significance
than is sometimes accorded to it. The
patriotism it is inended to teach is of
the deepest and most enduring sort.
1t is one Of the fixed days; one of the
most significant days in all holidays.
Fourth Of July might dwindle, but
never shall the gratitude of nation,
for those who saved it from destruc-
ton, be allowed diminish
A meeting will be held at the
waiting room, city hail, on Monday
evening, April 10, at 7::30, for the
purpose of taking the preliminary
steps toward the pr per observance of
Memorial day.

SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION
EXCLUSIVELY BEAUTIFUL
w. vi. ZiegIer Much Taken with Fac
ific Coast--Three Months
from Home.

Mr.. and Mrs. William NJ. Ziegler
and daughters, the Misses Bertha and
Jessie, returned from their California
trip last week They bad fine time
of it and saw much country during
their journey. They were out of
Lancaster three months to a day,
spending six we ks in San Diego,
four weeks in Los Angeles, a week
at San Francisco, and the rest Of the
time on the road, going and coming.
Mr.. Ziegler says they were most
pleased with San Diego, although
Los Angeles IS fine enough for any
body to live in. The San Diego
exposition is the prettiest the world
has ever seen, but not so very large.
1t is intended to show off the pro-
auctions Of California and other coast
states, although there are exhibits
from few states east Of the Rockies.
This is intended to be a permanent
show, and is not put on for this
season alone.
But the San Francisco show is the
biggest ever While it is not so
pretty as the exhibition further south
on the coast, it is much more com
prehensive. Mr.. ZiegIer says that
almost everything in the inhabited
globe may be seen in San Francisco
fair. He says the Canadian exhibit
is a perfect marvel. In its proper
tions it is simply stupendous. No, |
never felt sand fer, said Mr..
Zieglrr, in conclusion.

THE LAST AUCTION
SALE OF SEASON
Amy Grimes Sells q Quantity
of Stock.
Cows and Horses Go WeII--HeraId
Scribe Takes In
the Event.

L. A. Clark, Peoples State bank,
gave the assistant editor pleasant
half-holiday, last Thursday, when he
invited that functionary to go out to
the Grimes auction sale. Mr. Clark
was to clerk the sale, and while It
was not a very large event, as auctions
are usually measured IN this coun-
ty. there were features that were
very pleasant and agreeable. First
and most important of these features
was that about every person present
was a reader of The Herald, and it
was like going to a big family
reunion.
In the bills the sale was not called
until 1o'clock, but by some mistake
the auctioneer, bob" Hoskins, got
off wrong and landed at the Grimes
homestead about IL in the forenoon.
He had a good wait; also good din
ner. He was not so much mistaken
as he let on. Be that as it may,
when the time arrived to do business,
Mr.. Hoskins took off his coat and
lit into the work in real earnest.
As arule prices were not as good
as they were before the farmers got
busy in the field. The crowd was
not large and at times the bidding
seemed to move slowly. Yet some
Of the stock brought pretty good
prices. 4 pair of yearling steers
sold for S32 each; a COW that did
not show any breeding to speak of,
brought 5000, and heifer sold for
$50. 80. Horses sold well, one fetch
ing $3.50, that the owner did not
want to warrant. The best bargain,
we thought, went to Joseph Kern,
who lives over at Scraptown,
mare that was y years old, sound
and right, that he took on at $50.
First and last the sale figured up
to 4 iittIe more than 1000, and
about everything was settled for.
Mr.. Hoskins surely knows how to
keep his crowd in good hurnor. He
fired Jokes and joshes right and LETT
and the fellows enjoyed his jibes to
the limit. One of the pieces of
pleasantly of the afternoon was the
loss Of an ice cream freezer by Ed.
BisheIl, Flora. He bought It at a
bargain all right, but when he came
to gather his purchases he could not
find his freezer. The women gave
him such a hearty laugh that he knew
at once wrat Has the matter they
had hid his bargain. Then they re
Tented and Ed. carried home his
freezer IN triumph.

DISQUALIFICATION ROAD
is TO BE MADE BETTER
Pierce Hill, This Side of CassViIIe to
Be Given More Uni
form Grade.

Pierce Hill, one of the hardest
climbs in Grant county, is soon to be
to more agreeable condition.
This is on the road from Burton to
Cassville, and leads from the ridge
top to the bottoms of the Mississippi
river. By reason of its important
location it gets large amount of
travel, being On the road much used
between Lancaster and Cassville.
There is a very steep grade, and at
places the bed is narrow. To make
il better Highway Commissioner
Henry Mink has made plans to cut
down the steep places and fill in the
low places. A stretch Of 1000 feet
Is under treatment and work in
earnest will begin next week. Henan
Shinoe will be foreman in charge OF
the work, which will be done by q
county gang. 1t Is expected that the
improvement will require several
weeks to complete and that the cost
Will approximate 81, 800. When done
a uniform grade will be made and
almost q uniform width will have
been established.

Ducks Are Flying.

The ducks are said to be flying
north now in large numbers and
hunters along the Mississippi find
great temptation to shoot them, par
ticularly as a recent court decision
at Topeka, Kansas, declared the
federal migratory bird law to be
invalid. The U. S. department Of
agriculture sends out warning and
says this decision applies solely to the
district in which it was rendered and
does not nulllfy the law, as an
exactly opposite decision was render
ed in South Dakota district court.
An offender is subject to prosecution,
it is claimed, any time within three
years from the date the offense is
committed.

Campmeeting Coming.

Platteville will have big camp
meeting this summer, as usual, under
the direct on Of the Rev. w. F.
Tomlinson, district superintendent of
the Methodist Episcopal church. No
doubt this preliminary announcement
will be of interest to many of the
readers of The Herald. Of course
this is a sort of a Methodist show,
but others are entirely welcome, and
no doubt many others than the
Methodists attend.
This big campmeeting is slated for
June 1927, at the old campmeeting
ground, near Platteville. Besides the
regular program of the old fashioned
campmeeting, there will be lot of
features in this event.

FROM THE
RECENT ELECTION
Many Surprises Were Sprung
by the Voters.
MuscoGa, on the License Question,
Shows a Mighty Change of
Sentiment--Others

Although The Herald held back
from printing until Wednesday morn
ing, in order that subscribers might
get all the election news possible,
the bad condition of the wires in GER
tain directions did not leave it pos
sible to get all the items wanted.
Hence, it is deemed desirable to give
to the readers of The Herald fuller
reports on the results.
Boscobel, that smart and fearless
little city on the north line of Grant
county, never shirks from its duty,
when a fight is to be fought. Three
years ago it's people surprised them
selves and the rest of the world by
going dry. 1t returned to the wet
column, after a year of thirst, but it
seems they thought they would get
into the dry column again. This
time every ward of the little city
voted dry. The majorities were
small but decidedly dry. Attorney
William E. Howe was elected mayor,
and he had the support of the drys,
so it seems to be a fair inference that
he will see that the dry wishes of
the voters are expressed by the ad
ministration.
Muscoda, the supposed joke of the
dry campaigns of southern Wisconsin,
did play a joke, by going dry or by
returning tie vote. The law reads
that no city or village shall issue a
license, unless a majority vote for it.
And the drys say that 100 to 100 is
no majority. A big fight may be eX-
pected in Muscoda, for the license
fellows never Will lie down without
trying every means to hold on to
what they deem God-given right.
The vote on the license question
in Boscobel city for the past seven
years has been as follows: 1909,
vet by a majority OF 81. 1910, wet
by majority Of rs; 1911, dry BY
majority of 81; 1912, wet by major
ity Of p; 1913 wet by majority OF
2; 1914, vet by majority of 3;
1915, dry by majority of 81.

DISAPPEARING MERCHANT
WITH SHERIFF REAPPEARS
He Wasin Milwaukee--Wife Charged
Desertion; Held on
ST, 500 Bail.

About three weeks ago o. D.
Wheeler, a shoe merchant at Bosco-
bel, disappeared, apparently without
warning. The Boscobel papers made
some comment, but eemed reticent
to Discus the det IL. A sale was
made Of the stock Of goods he left,
and it looked as if the matter would
END there.
But last Saturday noon, Deputy
Sheriff w. B. Dyer got off the lacom-
ing train with Mr.. Wheeler in
charge. He had arrested hi man at
Milwaukee on the charge of abandon
ment, made by the wife Wheeler left
behind when ne took his unannounced
departure. The warrant had been
sworn out before Justice G. w. Bur
rows
Saturday afternoon Wheeler was
arraigned before Justice Burrows,
but as his attorney was out of town he
asked for continuance, which was
granted until Tuesday, April 13.
In default of 81, 500 bail, he was
remanded to he county Jail. 1t is
said that tho defendant was found in
company with a woman, not his wife
Wheeler has lived in Boscobel a
long time, and has fine family. He
was a shoemaker by trade, but of
late has carried a stock of shoes
