Insanity & a S e
CoHapses In Court

An insanity trial held in the county
court last Wednesday resulted in the
vindication in so far as the point at
issue of Charles Clark, 46, Patch
Grove. Mr.. Clark was examined re-
Gently for insanity by Drs. Lewis and
Baldwin and pronounced unsound
mentally. The complaint was made
by j. e. Humphrey, j. E. Rock
we'll and Frank White on Feb. 18th.
In county court Mr.. Clark called for
jury trial. The evidence introduced
to prove insanity was a statement OF
Clark's that a certain family had put
poison in his food. Another eccentric
act, according to neighbors, was the
erection of a wire fence around the
old academy where Mr.. Clark lived
under consent of the owners.
The jury deemed the evidence in
sufficient to justify declaring the man
insane and the case was dismissed.

Subscription Statements Mailed.

This week the Herald is mailing out
several hundred statements of sub
scriptions due this office The amount
in each case is small but multiplied
by six or seven hundred becomes too
important to be neglected. In the
great majority of cases the subscriber
has simply forgotten or neglected to
renew although he wants the paper.
We have made it easy 20 remit by en-
closing return envelope with every
statement sent an out-of-town subscri-
Der.
Once in a while we find that an err
ror has occurred and that the office
has billed a customer who is not in
arrears. In such cases if he will
notify us at once we will gladly cor
rect the mistake and see that credit
is properly given.
However, such instances are rare
and in the vast majority of cases
our billing is correct. We ask such
subscribers to give our statement
their early and friendly attention.

THE CITY ICE PROBLEM.

The problem of furnishing ice to
Lancaster users came to the council
last Tuesday night when Mr.. Aupperle
stated the situation. The mayor APP
pointed a committee to confer with
MFR. Aupperle. Steps were taken at
once to secure ice from Necedah but
wire came Friday stating that
Swift & Co. had taken all the Niece
dab ice A move is now on foot to
set ice from Wausau. The require
ments will be around twenty carloads
in addition to what has been put up
here. Fifty citizens went on the note
to finance the Importation of ice. 1t
is a certainty that local ice rates will
be higher than ever before owing to
weather conditions preventing local
rack sufficient to supply the city.

BUILDING WRECKED

an overheated furnace, was respon-
sible for wrecking a residence at
Platteville Saturday.
Carpenters had just finished re-
modelling and redecorating the Ger
man Methodist parsonage on Broad
way i'll the metropolis and were trying
out the furnace. Failure of the valve
to work caused a terrific explosion
completely wrecking the building.
The pastor, Mr.. Zarwell, resigned
short time ago and moved to Cal
ifornia, consequently the house was
vacant thereby averting a loss of life
Neighbors hearing the explosion
turned in fire alarm, but no fire re-
suited.
