Lord Byron said that Europe saw
three great men in the early part 81
the nineteenth century. But no one
now, in the early part Of the tween
tieth century, could guess at the
names Of more than one Of the
three. Il may be that Lord Byron
was joking, but il is quite possible
that he was serious when he named
the curious trio.
Third in his little list he placed
himself, the second person was Ma
poleon Bonaparte, and the first and
foremost was George Bryan Brum-
mel, Beau Brummcl, "king Of the
beaux" and de Roi De Calais

MUST FIND DRAINS
CITY IN QUANDARY OVER SOUTH
ADAMS STREET STORM WATER
FACES DAMAGE SUIT.

The city council at it's last Tues
days session authorized the board of
public works to go over South Adams
street where lack of drainage causes
rain water to stand in the streets, and
if possible for the construc-
ton Of water drains. The place in
question extends south Of a street call
ed Lincoln avenue, formerly known
as the cemetery road. For some dis
lance the rain water has no outlet.
The committee called on several
property owners Friday in an effort
to arrange for crossing their proper
ties with storm sewer If this can
not be done the city will resort to law
as an opinion advises is legal right
AS the city faces a law suit if drainage
is not provided it is very likely that
definite action will be taken. The
drain if constructed will extend from
South Adams street west to the Platte
vile road.

CIRCUS GOES STRONG
ENORMOUS CROWD ENTERTAINED
BY AL G. BARNES AGGREGA.
TION-GOOD SHOW.

Thirty-five hundred admissions in
the afternoon and about 1900 at night
was the box office result of the AL G.
Barnes circus here Monday. The show
was excellent throughout and drew
nothing but praise. Some of the main
facts are as follows:
Show carries $50 people with sixty
four ahead. Has 1000 performing ami
mails, wild and domestic. Has it's own
lighting system with gasoline engines
and two 80 k. w. generators. The sal
airy list ranges from 81 weekly and
board to $3.50 for the star performers.
Five tons Of hay are fed daily and
1900 pounds of fresh meat. The daily
expense is about $3.50. Mr.. Barnes,
the owner, is a former explorer and
trapper and spent many years in AT
RIGA.
While the show was replete with
good acts, perhaps the most novel and
pleasing was that of Miss Vera Earle.
Miss Earle sang under the spotlight
with doves futtering from each end
of the circus to her shoulders and the
horses back Mr.. Rosselli, press ag-
ent with the show, says that this act
is accomplished by years of training.
The doves are always fed by Miss
Earle seated on the horse and no one
else is permitted to feed them

MAY Be IN FRANCE
FORMER LANCASTER BOY AMONG
THOSE SAILING RECENTLY
FOR FIRING LINE.

Thai Vernon Judd, formerly of this
city, son of Mrs. Helen Judd, is now
in France seems highly probable. A
dispatch was picked up a month or so
ago from Pittsburgh, Pa, paper
stating that the division of electrical
engineers to which Vernon belongs
had left Oakmount, Pa, the training
headquarters, and had probably sailed
abroad Last week a card from YER
non came to Mrs. Will Morkin of
Bloomington, Vernon's sister 1t bore
an English postmark and was headed
England" the port not being given.
Vernon advised that his division had
arrived in England, following an un-
eventful voyage. He promised to write
further just as soon as he became set
tied. This was mailed in England
July 10. Since then no word has come,
but it is more than probable that the
electrical engineers are doing good
work for Uncle Sam and his allies in
France.

SHERIFF ARRESTS "SWIPE" AT
BOSCOBEL WANTED BY MIS-
SOURI, AUTHORITIES.

Sheriff Yves Hymer went to Bosco-
bel last Thursday and placed Bob Will
liams, a colored 'swipe," under arrest.
Williams was employed by Billie Dyer
of this city and had been acting as
hostler on the latter's horses at the
various race meets. He was brought
to Lancaster at once.
Williams was wanted by the author
tiles at Moberly, Mo-, on a murder
charge. The sheriff of that county
came Saturday and conducted his
charge to Dixie via Potosi. Williams
is we'll dressed, smooth spoken negro
of about middle age. He muttered
something about man falling out of
window, and the strong inference at
Moberly was that he assisted in the
push. This he denied, but said that
friends would see him through.

AUGUST CROP REPORT
HARVESTING PRACTICALLY OVER
AND THRESHING NOW THE
FASHION-COR GOOD.

The beginning of the third week in
August sees an end to grain cutting
in Grant county as the number of
fields remaining for the hands of the
harvest hands are exceedingly few
Here and there a late piece has not
been cut and bundled but the bulk of
the small grain in this section is out
Of the way of the various perils and
the song of the threshing machine is
now heard in the land.
A good threshing report came in
Monday, illustrating what the farm
ers may expect this year in the way
Of bOuntiful crops and good prices.
George Wieland threshed barley for
Albert Krohn last week. Mr.. Krohn
marketed the barley, receiving a
check for $1,44035 for the yield of
% acres after he had kept 100 bush
els. The average was, "a bushels to
the acre at $1.30 per bushel A piece
of oats threshed on the Charles Wiel-
and farm near the Hurricane, aver
aged 76 bushels.
Our Glen Haven correspondent
writes: Can anyone beat this? Ar
mold Breuer, a prominent farmer re-
siding near Glen Haven, on Thursday
of last week threshed out 557 bushels
of barley from an eight-acre field, for
an average per acre of 69% bushels. -
The government crop report sent out
August 10 gave an estimate OF 3,191,-
900, 900 bushels of corn. This far eX-
ceeds the estimate for July l to the
extent of 25,OOO,OO0 bushels. The fore
cast for spring and winter wheat COM
bined being 653,000,0O0 bushels. 343,-
900 square miles of the United States
arep lanted in food crops, the total be-
ing one-ninth of the entire area.
The government report for the south
western Wisconsin district states that
general conditions in Grant county
are good. The averages at present for
the various crops are as follows:
Corn, 81; oats, 100; barley, 90; po-
tatoes, 90; hay, 95; pasture, 95. The
extremely favorable weather condition
at present is in a large part due to the

A MURDER NATTER ROB LUMBER OFFICE
BRITTINGHAM & HIXON VISITED
BY BOLD BURGLARS MONDAY
NIGHTTIME CLUE.

Entrance to the Birmingham & Hix-
on company office was obtained by un-
known thieves who looted the Office.
The office files were ransacked and
papers strewn around but nothing Of
Importance was taken. Mr.. Wieden-
beck and Billie Henkel each lost a
new raincoat. AL Lowell missed a
mackinaw and pair of new felt
shoes.
AS an apron and jacket were found
near the tracks where the circus train
had been located, a strong suspicion
exists that some petty thief travelling
with the show is the guilty party.

FAYETTEVILLE COMPANY ORDER
ED TO CAMP DOUGLAS LEFT
LAST SATURDAY,.

The PlatteVille National Guard COM
pany, 203 strong, entrained Saturday
morning and started for Camp Doug
las with every expectation of reaching
there in good shape This move was
preceded by an order from the state
adjutant directing that entrainment be
made. The boys naturally rejoiced,
as they had begun to feel that the
long looked for day would never come
and the suspense. as always, was Jaw
full"
With the company went their mas
cot, "Abe H." a fuIl-blooded bald
headed eagle. This bird was present
ed to the boys by patriotic Platte
vile citizen, and from all accounts he
is dandy. The boys filed into the
special train Saturday morning and
began singing Our Flag" a new pa
triotic song by Churchill Grindell of
Platteville. The crowd outside took
part as far as their tears would let
them. Most of the folks at the train
were relatives of the soldiers and all
were friends and well-wishers.
Rations for two days were provided
by the Platteville Red Cross and vol
unteer citizens, who prepared 1000
sandwiches, % pounds of sugar. 20
pounds of coffee, ten gallons of cream.
three cases of eggs, ten pounds of but
ter, case of bread and lot of other
things in the eating line. The whole
supplied the men until they reached
Camp Douglas, when they went on the
regimental commissary fare The
company is in good, shape physically
and otherwise and the three weeks Of
training since mobilization has in a
measure prepared them for the more
strenuous days now due at Camp
Douglas.

ESTING ACCOUNT OF EASTERN
TRIP-SEE MANY SIGHTS.

Portland, Me-, Aug. 1O.-Eaitor Her
aid: We left Boston, Mass, at noon in
the rain yesterday and arrived here al
z p. M, and as it is still raining will
now write, as | do not know when an
other chance will come. We have scr
far made 1887 miles. OF course much
of our time has been spent sight-see--
ing. Things are of a nature so differ
ent from those of the western trip last
year. Will try and give you an OUT
line as briefly as possible of the tri,p
to date
When we left home we drove to the
Dells of Wisconsin. Little mention
need be made Of the Dells, as they are
SO close to home, and still many of our
people have never made trip there
To say the least they are beautiful, but
as for Wisconsin roads, they are the
poorest of any state that we have beer
either on this trip. or on the western
trip. But that is overshadowed by the
beautiful lakes and scenery. We a.
rived in Chicago July a and left CHI
cago July 8, and drove through indians.
by way Of Hammond, Crown Point, La
fayette and Indianapolis. Then We
went through Kentucky, making Louis
vile. By the way, this state seems to-
be in class by itself All farm WORK
is being done by hand We did not see
any farm implements, only hand
plows, and the poorest houses, and the
chickens, pigs and children all seemed
to play together in the houses. But
the crops all looked good, in fact bet
ter than most places. Before l forget it,
L must say that the roads in Indiana
and Kentucky are all turnpike and are
great. Indiana goes dry next April
Kentucky has 120 counties, III OF
which are dry at present. The mid
die west and western country is very
dry compared with the east
We are now in the prohibition state
OF Maine, and it is beautiful state for
land, homes and beach scenery. The
people are very hospitabIe.
In Kentucky We visited the log cabin
in which Lincoln was born. 1t is ON
the old Lincoln farm 21a miles from
Hodgenville, Ky. This cabin has been
taken to the fairs at Buffalo, Chicago
and st. Louis, but it is now on its
original site with mammoth memoir
ial tomb built around it, This was
built by subscription, ard looking over
the files found the names Of the fol-
lowing home people who donated to-
ward it: Bob BROKER, John Schreiner,
Bob Draper, Joe Baumgartner and
George c. Budd. These names looked
good to me. This tomb was dedicated
by Taft, Sept. 4, 1916, and accepted by
Wilson, and is a very pretty piece of
work. The surroundings are very
beautiful and the old spring still runs
just stones throw from the tomb.
We then drove to the Mammoth Cave.

it, so will not tire you 1t has five

MOTORED TO DENVER
HARVEY ABRAMS AND WIFE ARE
HOME AFTER A MONTHS TRIP
THROUGH THE WEST.

A motor journey that commenced
mated Saturday evening when Mr.. and
Mrs Harvey Abrams reached Lancas
ter in their Studebaker car.
Mr.. and Mrs Abrams left Lancaster
July II, enroute to Orleans, Nebr
travelling via Dubuque, reaching the
Lincoln Highway at Cedar Rapids, Ia.
Their next stop was Omaha, where the
Omaha Lincoln-Denver route begins
Following brief stay at Orleans they
went on to Denver with Mr. and Mrs
Henry Luther, The last part OF the
trip was taken in Mr.. Luther's Chal-
mers. Mr.. Abrams motored $50 miles
into Kansas upon his return to Neb-
raska, and following that came direct
ly home.
The mileage for the entire trip was
was experienced outside Of three pune
lures Mr.. Abrams describes the Iowa
and Nebraska roads as simply great.
The Omaha-Lincoln-D trail has
three distinct tracks so that no turn
ing out is ever necessary. The traffic
on these roads is very heavy and at
high speed Mr. Abrams says that a
resolution not to exceed twenty-five
miles an hour was soon broken on
roads where forty miles seemed just
as easy as twenty in Wisconsin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Luther returned with
them in their car and will visit here
for few days.
