in any crusade for righteousness, for
those who choose to do so; that ideal
ism and chivalry are not dead, but as
living and as active in the great forces
of the world as ever.
Professor Kiekhofer is a speaker of
powerful personality, of deep thought
and of remarkable ability in all that
goes to make an effectual orator. Ger
tainly his appearance here and his
lecture upon these timely subjects, is
worthy of our highest appreciation
and commentator.
Professor Kiekhofer was secured for
this occasion from the Extension Di-
vision of the University of Wisconsin.
He is one of the regular lecturers of
that department of the university.
Prof. r. w. Adams, principal of the
Lancaster schools then presented the
diplomas to the class, and the exercis-
es closed with a benediction by Rev.
w. A. Weyhrauch.

GUST FOR FUN" PLEASES
A LARGE AUDIENCE
Senior Class Play PatrOnized Hand
sOmeIy Despite Imclement Weather.

The class play, "Just For Fun" Civ
en- by the graduating class of the local
high school on Thursday night of last
week, was a success from every stand
point
The opera house was filled with a
large and appreciative audience.
1t is always pleasure to attend
home talent plays, and the enjoyment
is even greater when the actors and
actresses, as we'll as the audience
seem to be enjoying themselves.
Comedy is twice as difficult as trag-
edy, despite the fact that it looks so
easy. This one was we'll acted, and
it would be hard to say which player
excelled.
The character parts were we'll chOs-
en-, and the young players all acquit-
ted themselves in an exceptionally
delightful manner. They deserve much
credit, and also their director, Miss
Helen Peterson.
The personnel of the cast were:
Laura Johnson, Rachael Schreiner,
DorOthea Hickok, Gladys Poland, lie
Roy Edwards, and Maurice Murphy.

George Richard, son of Mr.. and Mrs.

Gilman property just east of the vii
lage of Linden, at about 2 o'clock
Wednesday,
Mr.. Richard was regular employe
at the mine and had been home over
Sunday visiting his father, who had
received a slight paralytic stroke, re-
turning to Linden on Tuesday. He
went to work at 1 o'clock and had
been in the mine about an hour when
the terrible accident took place.
Mr.. Richard was employed as drill
er and was using the electric drill in
the drift when a large rock, said to
weigh over six tons, suddenly fell
from the roof of the drift and directly
upon the unfortunate man. A fellow
workman gave the alarm and soon a
force of men were at work removing
the rock, which required about half an
hour.

May USE CITY STREETS
w. & |. Granted Permission For
Loop Terminal in City.

Besides Railway Petition "City Faith
ers" Dispose of Other Routine
Business Matters.
COUNCIL ACTS PROMPTLY.

Mayor Bailie presided at an import
ant meeting of the city council last
Tuesday evening, June 6, which con-
sidered the petition of the Wisconsin
e Illinois railway signed by ia tax
payers of the city praying for permits
sion to use certain streets of Lancas-
ter for their lines. The petition was
granted without dissent. All mem
bers of the council were present ex-
cept Alderman Croft.
Bills amounting to $928.06, were al
lowed and ordered paid. The treas
uruer's report was read, and upon roll
call, approved by unanimous vote.
At this time several petitions, pre-
pared by the Wisconsin and Illinois
Railroad company, bearing the sigma
lures of la taxpayers and business
men of the city, were presented, ask
ing them to grant permission to con-
struct and operate a line or lines of
railway over and across certain streets
to be used for the transportation OF
passengers, baggage, mail and express
only, it being understood that the mo-
tive power to be used in operating
cars over said streets shall be Of the
internal combustion" type, electrical
or other motive power other than
steam.
The proposed route is as follows:
From the corner of the Northwest
ern depot the track will run one block
east to Jefferson street down said
street passt the postOffice to the
Crosby corner; thence one block
east to the city hall corner, when the
line will turn north on Madison street.
The railroad company having pre-
pared an ordinance granting the
rights they desired, same was present
ed and read, after which Thos. Nc
Donald explained the exact route to be
taken, situation of streets, etc.
Mr.. Burkdoll of the railway COM
pany, recommended the route as stat
ed in the ordinance, and after some
discussion a motion was made by AL
derman J. G. Doolittle and seconded
! by Alderman c. NJ Calvert that the
ordinance be adopted as read. The
Motion carried unanimously The Or
dinance appears in another column Of
! the Herald.
A poll tax of $3.50 per year, was
! levied, and also a dog tax of $1.00 on
males, and $500 on females.
/ 1t seems that some people have
| been in the habit of lodging their poll
and dog tax in the past, and Mayor
Bailie assured the council that all tax
es would be collected this year, even
if it became necessary to bring suit
against delinquents
August Wenzel applied for and was
granted a license to operate a pool
and billiard room, also box ball al
ley.

COMPLIMENT OUR CITY
fSa~i ~~z
Milwaukee Boosters Lavish In
Praise of Lancaster Spirit.
WEATHER WAS IDEAL.
Committee In Charge of Reception
Omitted No Detail Which Would
Add TO Pleasure of Visitors.
WEATHER WAS IDEAL.

Lancaster Boosters entertained
boosters, and were entertained by
boosters Friday afternoon and even
ing of last week.
Milwaukee participants in the six
teenth annual trade excursion of the
Milwaukee Merchant and Manufac-
turers association were here eight
five strong with a brass band of twen-
ty-one pieces, and Lancaster citizens
did themselves proud in showing the
visitors a royal time during their
visit.
The weather was ideal for the first
time since the party left Milwaukee,
and this added greatly to the enjoy
ment of their visit.
A committee composed of Henry
Henkel, r. Meyer, Jr., N. H. Gerber,
Frank Schreiner, F. ]. Granville, L. H.
Stevens, David Crichton, JOS. T. Ben
nett, Oscar Wright, Lee Eastman, L.
A. Clark and J. H. Pugh, went to Fen
nimore on the afternoon train, where
they met the Milwaukee contingent
and accompanied them to this city.
The M. & NJ train consisting of
eight cars pulled into the station
at about 80 and was met by several
hundred people, headed by the Lam
caster band, and given an enthusiastic
welcome. All formed in line and
marched to the court house square
where nearly 100 automobiles were
in waiting, and the visitors were taken
for delightful spin through the
streets Of our beautiful little city and
adjacent country.
After supper the M. & M. band,
which accompanied the tourists on
the entire trip, assembled in the band
stand, and throughout the evening,
discoursed excellent music and plen-
ty of it
A picture machine was Installed in
the bandstand and the screen placed
on the front of the David Crichton
store across the street. Slides of
numerous Milwaukee business blocks,
parks, residences and public build
| ings, etc, were shown and proved of
interest to the large crowd assembled
on the court house lawn.
I Fl. e. Schreiner, on behalf of Mayor
Bailie, rendered the party neat lit
tie address of welcome which was
responded to by John l.. Klinger,
president of the association. Mr..
Klinger, in the course of his remarks
referred to the common saying that
Milwaukee is famous because of it's
beers, but produced facts and figures
to show that Milwaukee is also fam
Gus in the production of numerous
other lines of goods, from which many
millions of dollars are realized each
year. He also paid high tribute TO
Lancaster and Grant county.
Following the band concert the Wis
itors were invited to the rooms of the
Country club where goodfellOwship
prevailed until a late hour. Sand
wiches, punch and cigars mellOwed
the spirit of comraderie and the
evening proved an enjoyable one for
ALL
The Milwaukee Boosters remained
in Lancaster Friday night and left at
Z o'clock Saturday morning, arriving
home at s o'clock Saturday evening,
after visiting a number of cities and
villages enroute.
