is seriously i'll with typhoid fever. His
father, James Kemler of Chicago, has
gone to him. He is in a hospital and
Ray ST. Germaine is looking after his

Probably no single proposition ever
received the united support that is be-

Practically every man spoken to IL
the southern part of the county says,

long ago." When the County Board
convenes they will be asked to put the
project over, and it is to be hoped
they will respect the wishes OF the
people of this part of the county

new Jewett sedan they were driving
turned over a number of times on No.

The stove was thrown out bodily, and
as this was not the first time it had
"acted-up," it went into the junk pile.

ENTERTAIN OUR FRIENDS

The finishing touches are being eX-
secuted on the new municipal building
at Lancaster and the handsome struc-
ture will be formally opened at an
early date. Erected at cost in the
neighborhood of 100000 the structure
is an addition to the city that its c1ti-
zens may we'll feel proud of. 1t is OF

rated by inset white blocks and IS two
stories in height. A large auditorium
with a capacity of LOO, with mas
sive gallery and large stage occupy a
portion of the first floor, in addition
to offices for city officials and engine

ment. A large dining hall, suitable
for dancing, with kitchen are on the

and was in some of the hardest fought
battles. He received seven wounds
and carried one of the bullets until
few years ago when it began botherlng
him and he submitted to an operation
for it's removal. He carries the pullet
with him now as a memento. IL is

Trend of the Newspaper Game


For many years the city Of Lam
caster. county seat of Grant county
had two weekly newspapers, The Her
aid and the Teller. Not so very long
AGO the Teller gave up the ghost"
i. e., suspended publication, and It's
owner found new field OF labor in
Milwaukee. The printing plant was
left at Lancaster and at various times
some aspiring printer-publisher would
drop into the town and look over the
field with a view to buying the Teller
outfit and reviving the newspaper.
Finnally such an aspirant came from
Iowa, bought the equipment and pro-
ceeded to the efforts to actualize upon
his dreams That was a few short
weeks ago Now the Iowan, disiliu-
stoned, is back in the Hawkeye state.
He sold The Teller to A. L. Sherman,
publisher Of The Herald, and thus
Lancaster has but one local newspa-
per to patronize.
This but emphasizes the fact that
the newspaper business has been
over done in many places. Up to the
years Immediately preceding the war,
many towns of from 1000 to 1900
population were supporting" two pa
pers. Then the cost of production
commenced to skyrocket and one by
one the weaker of the papers fell by
the wayside, either through suspen-
sion or consolidation, leaving the field
TO be WELL represented by one paper.
In the case of Lancaster the city
has had an able eXamplar of progress
in The Herald under the guidance of
Editor Sherman. Though the writer
has never met Mr.. Sherman personal
Iy, an exchange" acquaintance mas
been maintained for several years and
we invariably have found pleasure in
giving the Herald the once over. Mr..
Sherman has a dynamic personality
which he injects into his newspaper
and this, together with generous
covering of his fell in a news sense,
leaves nothing to be desired in the
way of wideawake, readable news
paper.

Herald AbsOrbs Register.

After a brief career the Lancaster
Register is no more, the building and
plant having been absorbed by the
Grant County Herald. The Register
succeeded the Teller, which suspend
ed publication some time ago. Mr..
Kueneman, who edited the Register,
has returned to North English, Iowa,
where he has an established paper
Shullsburg Pick & Cad.
The Lancaster Teller after nearly a
half century of activity as one OF the
leading weeklies of southwest Wis
c0nsin, went on the rocks last spring.
r. P. Ahern took the paper over and
tried to steer it into calm water, found
the going rough and abandoned the
craft. For several months it remain
ed idle. Then William Kueneman OF
North English, Iowa, purchased the
outfit and introduced successor I'm
der the title of Lancaster Register"
After several weeks labor trying to
patch up the old remnant he gave up
and prevailed on A. L. Sherman, edi-
tor and publisher of the Grant County
Herald, to take it over, and at con
siderable financial disadvantages
