UNEARTH TOMBSTONE
Restoration of sarcophagus Of Famous
Actress Reveals Interest
ing Story

When the large stone slab on the
:;arcopragus of Mrs. Anne Warren,
in Christ Church yard, was removed
few days ago to be conveyed TO
.Chauncey and Sons marble yard,
where it will be relettered, the mys-
terry of the disappearance OF SIX mar
BILE pillars that formerly were part
of the nearby tomb of Jacob Resler
vas solved. The six pillars, all OF them
broken, ut not it is believed beyond
repair, wece found within the Warren
sarcorl.:!gus, ~nere they were doubt
less placed Jv vandals during the
civil w2r. Fer many years the stone
lab that recorded the fact that Jacob
Resler died on October 10, 1905, aged
II years and II months, has reposed
I few inches above the ground on the
arick foundation that formerly sup
sorted the pillar now recovered.
The restoration of Mrs. Warren's
.cmb is due in large measure TO the
forts of Mrs. Robert C. Powell ana
Hiss Katherine Griffith Uhler, mem
:,ers of the committee in charge OIL
christ Church yard. Funds for the
york have been furnished by Douglas
.senson, of Erie, Pa, grandson OF
Mrs. Warren. Mr.. Benson visited
Christ Church. during the last u. A.
T. conclave in Washington and ask
cd to be shown the tomb. His atten-
ION was called to the fact that the
clements had entirely effaced the
cpitaph, and he is now fulfilling a
promise made at that time that II
should be restored.
The following is said to have been
rcpied from the tomb about 30 years
;;co, when the letters could be de-
cjphered with fair degree OF GER
tainty:
Beneath this stone are deposited the
remains of
MRS. ANNE WARREN
Daughter of John burlington, OF Eng
land. and wife of William War
ren, esq.,. one of the mana
gers of the Philadelphia
and Baltimore
Theaters
" her loss the American stage has
been deprived of one of its
brightest ornaments.
The unequaled excellence of her thea
trical talents was only surpassed
bv the many critics and accom-
plishments which adorned
her private life
In her were combined the affectlonate
wife, the tender mother and the
sincere friend.
Died in Alexandria, the 18th day OF
June, 1908.
Since this copy is said to have been
made and published without question
rs to its accuracy, writer on the
,ubiect has come forward with an
rpitaph of Mrs. Warren which dit
rers in several respects. The later
writer puts the name of "John Burn
ton, ESQ.,, in the place of John Bur-
r'ngton; says Mrs. Warren contain
III" instead of combined" several OF
he virtues attributed to her and
dds that she was 80 years old,
.nough stating in his sketch that she
:,as born in 1878. Mrs. Warren was
ne of the most eminent English ac-
l.asses of her period. She died at
;adsby tavern, this city, following the
',rth of child. 1t is understood that
the two women in charge of the res
.9ration of the tomb will endeavor to
clear up the differences mentioned in
ii,e two epitaphs before they allow the
work to proceed.

The Herald, in calling attention
short time ago, to some pertinent facts
in regard to it's circulation had no in
tention of deprecating the usefulness
or quality of our neighbor, the Fenni-
more Times, although our worthy old
friend, the Lancaster correspondent
of that publication, seemed to think
we did so. The Times, Jim, needs no
support even so able as your own, in
convincing one as to its popularity
and large circulation. 1t is a mighty
good paper and has proven what a
good paper can do in acquiring sub
scribers. In mentioning the Herald's
advantages to a local advertiser, we
make no reflection on any other coun-
| ty paper. The Times receives a mag
niticent amount Of local advertising
from its home merchants and with
out doubt the prosperity of Fennimore
| directly relates to the influence of it's
home paper in bringing business to
the town. The Herald offers the same
advantages in the Lancaster field with
the suggestion that Lancaster is a
larger town, has more rural routes
and presumably larger territory to
draw trade from. We will endeavor
Ito serve our home merchants to our
fullest extent by giving our readers
| the best paper we can. That is all
no more; no less. To those who de-
sire to do consistent advertising we
offer a very attractive business build
ing proposition.

THREE BITTEN BY MAD DOG.
(Galena Gazette.)

James J. Smith and wife at the
Black Jack mine owned a Red hound
or coon hound Last Thursday they
noticed the animal acting very I'M
usual, as though he was choking on
a bone. They tried to give him relief
but the dog bit them both on the hand
Then George Hanna tried to help the
suffering dog and he was bitten on
the leg just above the knee. They
finally managed to get the dog to Ga
lena to DR.. G. w. Evert who put the
animal out of it's misery. Dr. Evert
inspected the brain and found the ca
nine had been suffering with the rab-
les. The brain was sent to Chicago
and after an examination, DR.. Evert's
report was confirmed. Mr.. E. NJ.
Smith accompanied Mr.. J. J. Smith and
Mr.. Hanna to the Chicago Pasteur In
stitute and today returned for Mrs.
Smith. The three victims will be
treated at this institution.

LADIES 'DRESSES-Th present
fashions for ladies' dresses in New
York and Boston is just as many
fiounces as can be tucked between the
waist and bottom of the skirt. In
fact fashionably dressed lady in the
streets is nearly all founce. The
short mantilla looks like f1ounce No
1, and from it's lower edge downward
the dress resembles a series of pyra-
midal steps-of silken staircase up
which a cat or a Cupid might readily
climb. Of course, the lower circum-
ferences of this mass of furbelows is
enormous, and the Lilliputian hat
scarcely visible at the apex of the
cone, gives one an idea that the figure
has no head-a notion that, in some
instances, is not far from the fact

NEAR FIRE AT BLOOMINGTON.
Bloomington Record.)

\D1OOmluSCOu R0COrQ.)
During the noon hour on Friday
there was a lively start for what
might have been big fire at the Lud-
den white front store. The engine in
the basement has developed the habit
OF throwing oil, when in motion on the
mace ignited this oil and it blazed up
to the ceiling, making a smoke which
filled the store. Foster Porter and
Grant Garner hastily sliced the fire ex-
tinguishers, and, making their way
through the store to the basement
applied the dope to the blaze with sue
cessful results. No great damage re-
suited, but the fire would have ignited
the store floor had it not been extin-
guished.
At a special meeting Of the village
board held Monday evening the tax
rate was fixed at 10 mills, the same
rate as last year. More money will
be raised than last year, however, as
the valuation in the village is consid-
erably higher. The board also voted
to purchase an electrically operated
siren horn for use as fire alarm, as
a cost of about 5000. This alarm will
be operated from the telephone cent
raj, by turning a switch there. 1t is
guaranteed to be heard two miles, and
will be installed by Jan. 1. The board
also voted to have electric lights, 60
candle power, installed at the north
! east corner of the old mill in front
of the J. L. Brady residence, and at
the corners near the Lee Bailey and
VIM. Myers residences. President
Kitto and Trustees wager, Lord,
Cooley, Ball and Lewis attended the
meeting, and the vote was unanimous
on all three Of the above propositions.

use to the county citizens. We do not
like this idea of setting a building
apart as something not to be used
simply because an old tradition seems
to demand it. The modern spirit is
to use the public buildings for all legi-
innate community purposes. In Chi
cagO the public schools are used near
ly every night in the winter for peO-
pies lecture courses. In Iowa the court
houses are almost universally used for
the short courses in agriculture con-
Quoted every winter. The matter of
a few dollars is not so important as
the Lancaster people can raise the
money for such an enterprise if they
have to. 1t is not fair, though, to be
continually assessing the harassed
business man for every event that
comes along particularly when it is an
affair of purely public nature. In
conclusion, and we think we have said
enough, we wish the court house was
available for the Bloomington and
Platteville people to use for their pub
| lie affairs such as community insti-
tutes. We would gladly urge their
Ibeing granted that privilege.

nice little boys, and bad little boys,
mama's boys, tough boys, rag tag and

remember how you skated where the
ice was hickory" but you always
got over the big crack and onto the
solid ice beyond? There was a thrill
about that hickory" ice though and
you skated back again and again I'M
til finally you broke through Of
course you went on the bank and built
big fire and partially dried and
roasted yourself until in a semi-wet
condition you went on the ice again.
Finally you threw your skates over
your arm because dinner time was
coming and home four miles away.
So you and Jack hurried down the
railroad track and up the big hill to
home! All the relation eve said rela-
tion) were there, uncles and aunts
and cousins. Mother felt ashamed
when you two lads came in so dirty
and torn and hustled you into the big
warm kitchen. And there were all the
good things ready for the table from
the big turkeys Eve said turkeys)
they had turkeys those days; looking
so brown and juicy with the juice ooz-
ing out the brown hot skins, to the

tatoes and the big sweet POTATOES

and Jack were told to wait for the |
second, and, of course, you waited |
NOT! Instead you both stole surreD- /
tious pieces of turkey, swallowed |
oysters hurriedly, dabbled in the sauce
and dipped into the pie. Mother came
out, but her glance was forgiving be-
cause she was mother and she un-
1erstood that little boys can't skate all
morning and not be hungry at noon.
And then after dinner you all gathered
IN the big parlor and the afternoon
spun along. There was music and fun
and games and everybody sang for

thou wilt favor us with thy company

Louberts, it seems, has discovered a

is very successful. For the venture
Napoleon gives Louberts $4,000 francs
