PAYS TRIBUTE
TO MEMORY
L. O. SHRADER

In view of the fact that Mrs May
L. Plpkin, one of the grandchildren of
l.. 0. Shrader, has placed a new mark
er and reset the monument over the
Shrader grave in the old Lancaster
cemetery, south of Emmanuel chur h,
the following sketch of the founder of
the Herald and an early pioneer of
Lancaster, becomes appropriate aand
interesting:
(From Obituary of L. O. Shrader, June
1922
Lenhard Otto Shrader was born in
Somerset, Pa, Feb. II, 1902, the son
of Hon. Won Schroeder, a native of
Saxony, Germany, who on emigrating
with his family to this country in 1897,
dropped the "Von," and Anglicised
the name to lotto Shrader."
The father was lawyer of eminence
in his adopted state, and was appoint
ed by the president, Thomas Jefferson.
in 1906, Chief Justice of the territory
of Louisiana, to preside in the Missouri
territorial district, to which latter
country the family removed thereafter.
Upon the death of his father in 1911,
Lenhardt Otto remained at Kaskaskia,
ILL.,, until the year Of the state organ
ization, when he moved to Vanda1ia,
the capital of Illinois. Here he mar
ried Miss Mary Enos, and remained
until the summer of 1889, when he
removed with his three daughters, his
wife having died in Illinois, to the ter
ritory of Wisconsin, having been de-
tanned for some years to close his con-
nection as the ward and protege of
Judge Nathaniel Pope
Lenhard Otto commenced the print
ing business in the year 1917, at Kas-
kaskia, ILL.,, in the Western Intel
ligence office, printed on a Ramage
press, manufactured at the place, and
forms beat with buckskin in falls
beat with wool-a method long since
superseded by elastic rollers.
In 1924 he became proprietor of the
Illinois Reporter and for one year he
edited, selected copy, set the type,
read proof, beat, printed and delivered
without any help.
The Reporter was a four column
weekly, then ranked the leading paper
of the state, there being but two
others They were published but semi
occasionally.

MAY RESUME
TRAIN SAYS
RAIL AGENT

Fl. B. Loucks Jr. travelling agent for
the Northwestern road, was in Lam
caster briefly between trains Thurs
day. Interviewed by the Herald, Mr..
Loucks said the company removed the
morning run to Galena with re-
luctance as it is their desire to give
the best service possible. On the
other hand, the train has actually
been making but 37c a mile on run
of about 10 miles. The loss per
month has been around $4,000. And
this, Mr.. Loucks said, is but one of the
many branches losing money. AS a
result similar drastic train removals
have been taking place all over the
North Western and other systems.
Mr.. Loucks intimated that if business
during the winter months
justified replacing the train it might
be put on again. He said further that
motor bus and auto competition had
greatly affected the rail lines, partle-
ularly on local passenger hauls. He
does not look for conditions in this
respect to improve in as far as the
rail lines and their difficulties under
competition are concerned.

Too many people suffer lame, aching backs, distressing kidney disorders and rheumatic aches and pains.

One of the lead CTS among the Alaska Administration forces expressed the opinion that he might want it for framing" inasmuch as intimate friends of Delegate Suth- erland residing to the westward have declared that Frames assumption that he was the Delegates choice for Nat ional Committee was frame-up.
