BASKETBALL SEASON OVER.
Lancaster Lands Fifth Place Among
Ten Teams In Circuit.

Lancaster team finished fifth in the
tournament held at Platteville last
week. The team made an excellent
showing, considering the teams they
played and the class of competitors.
Monroe won first place, Richland Cen
ter second, Platteville third, and
Prairie du Chen fourth.
The locals played Mt. Horeb first
and were defeated 22-12. The team
work of the Lancaster five was great,
but they were unable to put the ball
into the basket. Buck, Wis, football
star, who refereed, complimented one
of the local players on the hard, clean
playing of the team. Mt. Horeb was
clearly outplayed except in basket
shooting.
Dodgeville was Lancaster's second
opponent, and the local team won IL
8. The game was fast and we'll
played.
1t was the misfortune of Capt. Ed
wards five to have Monroe as oppo-
nents in their next game. Everyone
predicted an easy win for the cheese
makers" Lancaster surprised them.
The locals started with rush and
lead part of the first half. The final
score stood 22-11. Although defeat
ed, Lancaster gave Monroe the hard
est fight and the best game of the
tournament. Had the locals been
playing Prairie du Chen or Richland
Center there might have been a diff
ferent story, as Platteville defeated
Prairie du Chen, and Monroe in turn
defeated Platteville 1876, and Rich
landCenter, 1875. All three teams
finished ahead of the locals, yet their
scores do not look so good.
The season as a whole, has been a
success; the team having won eight
of the thirteen games played, and
have scored 265 points to their oppo-
nents' 245.
Prospects for another winning
team next year are excellent. Cap
tain Edwards will be the only man
lost by graduation. He has played
grand basketball for the L. H. S.-a
good guard, basket shooter and passer.
AS a leader, he was successful. He
was a good fighter and always in the
game; his absence next year will be
noticed.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.
School Committee Organizes Friday
Examinations Due Next Month.

Grant cOunty's new school commit
tee met at Superintendent Bricks Of
fee last Friday and formally organic
ed. Mr.. Ragatz and Mr.. James were
present, Mrs. Humphrey being delayed
by breakdown on the road. Matters
may come before the committee in the
near future requiring their judgment
and action.
April 81 are the dates for the eighth
grade diploma examinations in the
country school. About two days prior
to the examination, the teacher will re-
ceive a large envelope containing four
smaller sealed envelopes. These lat
ter contain examinations in the var
iOus courses of study. The studies
embraced in the examination are, read
ing, arithmetic, spelling, ortheopy,
English grammer, geography, writing,
United States history, the constitu-
tions, agriculture, physiology and n.y.
GENE. The envelopes will be plainly
marked showing the time and date
they are to be opened and must not be
opened prior to that time.
This year the average required for
first honor diploma will be eighty-fve
points. A second honor diploma will
also be issued where the average
must be at least seventy-fve. In the
second honor diplomas the student is
allowed up to three studies which can
fall to seventy points, but any falling
below that regardless of how high the
other studies stand, will not receive
a diploma.
1t seems peculiar and certainly it
is regrettable that 120 is the number
of days in the country school year,
spread over eight months while in the
city and village schools, nine months
of steady attendance is required 1t
would seem that certain legislators
who endeavor to favor the farmer by
shortening the school days per year
in the country are working a hardship
on the farmers children. Grant coun-
ty is backward in one respect accord
ing to the state reports. There are 70
counties in the state, forty of which
have regular examinations conducted
at various points in the county where
in the best teachers are appointed by
the county superintendent to conduct
the tests. It is impossible for child
to go into the high schools under this
system with higher marks than he
is entitled to as there is no favorit-
ism. The counties using this method
are mainly in the southern and cen
trail portions of the state. The coun-
ties using the old system of having
the county superintendent send the
tests to the teachers who return the
papers for marking, are mostly in the
northern sections of the state. Ken
Osha, Ozaukee, Dane, Green, Grant,
Vernon, Lacrosse and Trempeleau, are
also still using the old system with it's
manifest disadvantages.

FLORA FOLKS HAVE
JOLLY COODDY PARTY

A brilliant affair took place at the
Nick Lorang home last Tuesday
evening when neighbors and friends
to the number of about fifty gathered
to give Mr.. and Mrs. Lorang a fare
we'll surprise. The older element of
the genial company spent the evening
in pleasant social entertainment, while
the young people kept the house alive
with their merriment as they engaged
in their youthful games and amuse-
ments. Suspicious looking baskets
had been struggled in by the ladies
when they arrived and in due time the
contents of these were examined with
the result that the guests were served
with a supper of such delicacies as
our neighbOr ladies are so capable of
furnishing.
On Monday of this week Mr.. and
Mrs. Lorang are leaving for their new
home in Lancaster. Since an attack
of pneumonia early, in, the, winter
Nick's health has regained so slowly
that he has decided to take a years
rest from his farm work and has rent
.
and Mrs. LOrang are favOrites among
their neighbOrs and we are hoping
that they may soon be back among us
in their customary health.
Before dispensing, those gathered,
contributed to a fund for their host
and hostess to use in purchasing a
memento of the happy occasion.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
George BudwOrth, Mr.. and Mrs. Matt
Edwards, Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram Hudson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lester Snider, Mr.. and
Mrs. Raleigh Blackburn, Mr.. and
Mrs. Leslie Grebe, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred

TOtman-McDOnaId.

Curtis Totman and Vera Mcdonald
played a little surprise on their many
friends last Tuesday when they went
to Dubuque very quietly and were
married at Hotel Julien in that city.
Lee Wright of this city accompanied
them and witnessed the ceremony. Mr..
and Mrs. Totman left Immediately for
Chicago where they met Mr.. and Mrs.
J. G. DOOlittle, brother-in-law and sis
ter of the bride, and spent a week
sight seeing. The young couple re-
turned to Lancaster Saturday evening
for a short visit with the parents of
the bride and groom, and expect short
ly to leave for the Totman farm in
Jackson county where they will make
their home.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ira Totman of this city and a
young man we'll liked by his large cir
Gle of acquaintance. The bride is
the second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin Mcdonald and is universally
popular for her winning ways, beauty
and accomplishments. The Herald
with their many friends, extends con-
gratulations and best wishes.

THE JUSTICE COURTS.
No Important CaSeS-JuStice and Mer-
cy Hand In Hand.

Frank Burns, young man who
gives his home as Milwaukee, but is
said to be employed as barber in
Montfort, got off the train last Tues
day evening and fell down injuring
himself quite severely. Mr.. Burns
was carried to the city hall, where he
was placed over night in the Gala
boose. The next morning he was
taken to Justice Burrows court and
arraigned for drunkenness. Mr..
Burns was unable to pay his of $500
and costs, and started for Jail, but
decided before reaching the bastile
to put his watch up as security. He
did this and was given his liberty. Mr..
Burns is said to be about 80 years
old
VIM. Wilson, a tramp aged about
fifty years, came to the city hall last
Tuesday night and complained of ill
ness. He was allowed to remain in
the lookup over night, being later
conducted to the county Jail for a ten
days sentence after Dr. Gault had
pronounced him as i'll and in a bad
condition. He will be allowed to rest
up.

ANIMALS ARE ELECTROCUTED.
Lancaster Light & Power Co., Unwit-
tingly Stays Many Birds.

The high tension current used by
the Lancaster Light e Power company
is responsible for many deaths among
the feathered and four-footed animals
simply because they are unaware of
the dangerous possibilities when tlsey
roost on the high line. Many time
has a little squirrel received a fatal
charge when he attempted to straddle
an insulator and a cross arm at the
same time, and incidentally the serv-
ice frequently suffers from this cause.
Mr. Angus has at the office a large
claw Ofaa hawk or an eagle, the APP
pendage being the sole reminder of a
fowl which got on the insulator where
the high line crosses the Gibbs farm
between Fennimore and BOscObel.
The accident happened on Febru-
airy 9th, and the recording machine
at the Lancaster office shows a one
minute break at 3:45 p. m.-the time
when Mr.. Bird got his.

persons or animals either

AN AUTO COLLISION.
Chas. McAuley, Bound for PlatteviIle,
Meets DR.. Godfrey, NOrthbOund.

Charles McAuley was going south
on Madison street last Friday evening
about seven o'clock, driving at a mod
crate rate speed with no intention OF
doing anything else than to proceed
on his journey. At the Evangelical
church corner Mr.. McAuley saw a
car coming north and turned to the
right to avoid it. Ae he did so his
car skidded and ran into the car driv-
en- by DR.. Rush Godfrey, who was
driving north. The McAuley car suf-
fered a bent hub and went on south
west through Rev. Louis Schmidt's
front yard before it was stopped DR..
Godfrey's car received a broken lamp
and punctured casing. Mr.. McAuley
went as far as Croot residence where
he punctured his tire. Deciding then
that the fates were against him, he
returned home.

STATE TAKES BACK
ITS insane PATIENTS

Last Wednesday afternoon Asylum
Superintendent NJ V. Burris and his
assistants conducted the thirty Chip
pewa Falls patients to the depot and
placed them in the custody of DR..
Frost and eight attendants from the
state institution.
President James o. Davidson, OF the
state board of control, issued orders
which reached here Tuesday authOriz-
ing the re-transfer of the patients back
to their former asylum. 1t seems,
from all accounts that Mr. Davidson
in perfecting the arrangements in the
from a cottage containing patients of
was informed that all would come
from a cottage containing paeients of
the better class. Instead of this ar
rangement, the patients were taken
from five different wards and from all
appearances were patients of the very
worst class.
While the local asylum people did
everything in their power for the un-
fOrtunates while here, they did not
feel obligated to keep them for good
with a certain loss to Grant county
and constant trouble for Mr.. Burris
and his assistants. Mr.. Davidson ex-
pressed his keen regret over the I'M
fortunate outcome of the affair.
Grant county loses several humid
red dollars spent in getting things
ready for the foreign patients and the
state has been put to about $500 eX-
pense in transporting them to and
from Lancaster. Mr. Burris de-
scribes the condition of most of the
charges as pitiable in the extreme.
