HUGE SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA MAY
PLAY LANCASTER
Minneapolis Aggregation is
One of Largest in U. S. A
A Great Attraction.

The Kiwanis at it's Wednesday meet
ing voted to back lecture course at
Grantland this winter, thus disposing
in a practical way, of considerable
winter entertainment at the municipal
theatre.
DR.. J. c. Doolittle, head of the COM
mittee on entertainment, has been in
touch with the Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra. This organization carries
sc artists and is said to be foremost
of it's kind in the country. 1t custo-
marily plays only metropolitan cities
but owing to a Madison engagement,
date here in October can be ar
ranged.
The regular charge for a single per-
Torrance of this mighty orchestra is
$500. However, the orchestra man.
agement appreciates the enterprise
shown by little city like Lancaster
and offers to come here for $1,000 for
single performance.
1t is quite likely that this big event
can be worked in as feature of the
lecture course The other numbers,
probably four, will be of equally high
character, although not so expensive.
1t is likely that the course will sell
81 for a season ticket for adults and
a lesser price for children.
If the committee can book the big
orchestra it will be a countrywide
event. People would come to Lancas-
ter from miles away to take in an
event of this nature. Without a
doubt it would draw sufficiently to
pay.

YOUNG MAN
SHOT AFTER
SHACK BURNS
Hold Examination in River
Shooting Affray.-HOld
Merchant Groves

| Dist. Atty. ClemenSton held an ex-
animation Thursday afternoon before
Judge Goodsell to get evidence in an
arson case and shooting at Muscoda
| last Wednesday morning.
Leo Manning, aged %, was pepper
ed with buckshot about three o'clock
| Wednesday morning. The shooting
| took place following the setting fire
| two times of small shack erected
as a refreshment and news stand on
the main street at Muscoda. Young
Manning was taken to a Madison hos
! pital Thursday to have the shot picked
out. His condition was said to be
nothing serious.
VIM. Orth testified that he saw Man
ming about 1890 a. m. Wednesday.
He did not see or hear the shooting.
Chas. Nechwatsel testified that he
sat up at a store to see khan par
ade if one was pulled off. He heard
three shots but did not see any shoot
ing. The shot hit the glass in the
store where he was sitting.
DR.. McGovern testified that he saw
! Frank Groves, a Muscoda merchant,
with a shotgun on his arm after the
shooting.
Carter Wilkinson, high school boy,
testified that he and other lads had
erected the shack day or so before
election. Carter said he and MI.
Groves were partners in the venture.
Miss Martha Nachazel, testified that
she lives over the F. &. M. bank build
ing. She said she was awakened in
the night and heard two shots i'm
mediately follow. Looking out the
window she saw Joe Hayes, Frank
Groves and Geo. Rowland, Muscoda
men, near the news shack. Groves
had a gun on his arm. Someone said:
"Whoever it was, he is full of shot,
according to Miss Nachazel.
Testimony of no moment was taken
from Bert F1esch, Joe Drill, Floyd
Anderson and Ben Marcus. Then the
examination closed.
The episode followed quickly on the
steps of a report from Muscoda that a
khan parade would be held there in
defiance of a village ordinance passed
recently forbidding parades of any
kind without permission from Presi-
dent Marcus of the village. Mr. Mar
Gus is avowedly anti-klan.
When the report came to Lancaster
that trouble was in sight, Dist. Atty.
Clementson sent Sheriff Edge and
Under Sheriff Morse to Muscoda at
once. The officers remained there
until well after midnight but as
things remained quiet, they returned
home.
However, along about a. ~, some
one set fire to the newly erected stand.
The first blaze was put out. A little
later another fire developed. Then
came the shots. Young Manning
stopped them.
1t may be concluded that for certain
reasons an effort was made to fire the
Groves shack. 1t may also be con-
Guided that someone incensed at the
arson used shotgun.
Since the hearing a warrant was
! issued for Groves. Hearing Sept. 10,

BURN FIERY CROSS

A khan meeting was held in Lancas-
ter Monday night with large number
of local and visiting klansmen in at
tendance. The meeting was held in
the west part of town.
While the meeting was open it is
reported that visitors not eligible
were asked to depart and when they
did not do so, were counted out and
told plainly to get out of the meeting
About 10 o'clock a fiery cross was
burned. This is said to signify that
the local khan has attained substan-
tial quota of members.

Flashes
"Life is ShOrt-TelI the Truth"
wing Agricultural Fair.

A Growing Agricultural Fair.
Thursday and Friday of this week
are the days of the Grant County Fair
from a merit standpoint, one of the
biggest and best in Wisconsin.
We do not claim that our fair is a
great racing meet because of the diff
Guilty of getting good horses in here
and the fact also that with soc gate
it is impossible to provide the large
purses demanded nowadays.
But we can and do claim that our
fair is a wonderful agricultural show
and along with this display of farm
products we give a lot of wholesome
entertainment. There is no doubt
about 1.-THE visitor gets his moneys
worth many times over.
Sunday "a cars of blooded stock
reached the Lancaster yards for dis
play at the fair This stock came from
all points of the compass and some of
it from many miles away. The Grant
County Fair is open to the world and
breeders are finding it out. The far
Their they come and the bigger and bet
ter they are, the more it suits us.
The real, vital purpose of country
fair is not jazz entertainment, boot
chie-kootchie shows, gambling, etc.
If the visitor is looking for this class
of stuff he had better stay away. The
real purpose, the purpose which keeps
a fair on it's feet and makes it last
and serve a useful purpose, is the pro-
motion of the art of husbandry, or
farming From no other standpoint is
a country fair justified. Working along
these lines we can and will make the
Grant County Fair the Oldest Biggest
and Best, the leader in Wisconsin.

TRAIN AND
FARMER IN
COLLISION
BOaz Man Suffers Broken
Leg in Accident Last
Night.-Car Smashed.

August Berger, So, Boaz farmer,
was struck by the $3.50 inbound train
from Galena last night at StoffeP S
crossing, south of Knapp's corners.
Mr.. Berger was thrown 80 feet, land
ing in the road. He suffered broken
leg and bad bruises and cuts. His
bort car was wrecked. The impact
also smashed the pilot on the engine.
Mr.. Berger was picked up conscious
and bleeding and brought to Lancas-
ter. Drs. Godfrey took him to Miss
Lizzie Hores boarding house where
medical attention was rendered.
Mr.. Berger and wife and two daugh-
tiers came here yesterday to show
poultry at the fair. He left his fam
lily at Frank Brandemuehl' to remain
until after the fair and started for
home. He had gone but short dis
lance on his journey when struck and
injured.
Mr.. Berger said he saw the train
when but a short distance away but
was unable to stop. Trainmen say
Charles Graft, engineer, blew the
warning whistle a number of times as
he approached the crossing.
The crossing is treacherous one,
it being impossible to see the train
when going north until the crossing
is reached.

Control Licenses With the
Increase i'm Motor Traffic.

A man tells us that in an afternoon
"trip Sunday he saw several auto
smashupS In one a man was killed.
He thinks something should be done
to prevent the alarming increase in
driving hazard and accident. And he
is dead right.
The greater number of accidents of
various kinds are due to carelessness
and irresponsibility. Nearly every ac-
cident is due to a failure to be care
full. Some of the drivers are drunk.
Most of them are not mallciously
careless but they are ignorant of the
rules of the road and show no desire
to inform themselves. They rush on
heedlessly, averting this or that dis
aster by hairs breadth. Eventually
an accident happens. Then they are
very sorry it occurred.
The man proven guilty of careless
ness and a lack of respect for the
rights of other people using the road
should be punished according to the
gravity of the accident. And If the
court deems it advisable the driver
should have his license to operate his
car or any other car taken away
from him. All drivers should be Ii
censed and registered and no one but
a registered driver should be allowed
to operate a car.
This might work a hardship but it
would put the speed demons and po-
t9Mtial manslaughterers on record. 1t
would make for public safety which
the important thing in our complex
civilization.

The Happy Life.

The Happy Life.
An old friend, soon retiring from
business at the age of 70, is still Wig
orous in mind and body and full of a
keen interest in the affairs of life.
Active as a boy physically, he busies
himself with wholesome tasks. He has
lived a clean and energetic life and
now on the sunset side of the journey
he enjoys life's blessing to the ut
most We wish him many more hap
by years.
The lesson we draw from this and
what we have gradually come to con-
clude is that a mans health and hap
piness in late life depend largely on
how he spent his young life. II his
young days are spent in useful work
and clean activities, the chances are
strongly in favor of his being in good
health in old age. And the chances
are also that he will have substan-
tial competence for his declining days.
What more can man ask for?
A part of the education of the future
will be along this line. Boys and
Young men will be taught that the
care of their bodies is prime need.
They will learn that their happiness
and good health in their declining
years depend largely upon their pur-
suits and habits in their active years.
Discretion comes to all men sooner or
later. Frequently, too frequently, 1t
comes too late Dissipation is never
worth the cost.

Few Japanese are aware of the ak

London Times and the Manchester
