PHILOSOPHY
By Uncle bud.

Uncle Duo Says: "If folks were
as willing to accept blame as they
are to pass it out, things would move
along smoothly in life. Education
is one thing and knowing how to use
it is another; better have a meager
education than liberal one without
the capacity to use it."
Hush money never talks out
loud.
A hug by any other name would
be as tight.
A good resolution is just as
strong as its weakest think.
IF some folks got clear back to
nature they would be wearingea
nice coat of bristles.
Trying to do business without
advertising is like trying to run
car on its reputation.
The newspaper man usually
knows all that he tells but never
tells all that he knows.
Usually the most dangerous
part of an auto is that which is be-
hind the steering wheel.
Don't envy girl her fine COM

People who are inclined to be
forever sympathizing with them
selves are usually mighty lone
some.
Statistics may be interesting to
some but the majority of people
would rather watch a good ball
game.
People WI are good through
fear of futlrs punishment are no
better than those who are good

PLEASANT RECEPTION

The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs en-
tertained in splendid style from two
to five Wednesday afternoon in honor
of DIR. and Mrs. John III. Reed, whose
50th anniversary it was. A pleasing
feature of the event was the inviting in
of the Masons and Eastern Stars to
share in extending honors, as DR.. Reed
and wife belong to these orders also.
The beautiful Odd Fellow hall was
spotless as usual and prettily decor
ated with cut flowers. The guests of
honor occupied seats at the head of
the hall, the guests greeting them
there and extending best wishes.
About 800 persons attended the recep-
ton. Vocal and instrumental num-
bers were dispensed during the re-
ception, and punch and waters were
served. The occasion was altogether
a pleasant one and the hosts wish to
extend sincere thanks to all those who
so graciously assisted in making the
fair a success.

COURT HOLDS
FOR CITY IN
SEWER CASE
Sewage Not a Public Nui.
sance Smalley Rules.-De-
PENDANT Must Pay Costs.

In decision placed for record last
Thursday. Judge Sherman E. Smalley
held for the city of Lancaster in the
damage suit brought by Fred Aup-
perle charging that the city sewer
system was a public nuisance and
asking damages for pollution of his
ice ponds. Court costs are thrown on
defendant.
The decision sets forth that plain
tiff owns two ice ponds on Pigeon
creek. The city owns septic tank be-
low the ice ponds with lateral sewer
system, manholes, ETC., for carrying
sewage.
The court points out that the CITY
has no right or authority to maintain
public nuisance and is not EXEMPT
from prosecution if it is proved it
has done so. The burden was on plain
tiff to prove that such nuisance existed.
Pigeon creek the ruling says, is a
natural outlet for the surface drain
age of large part of the city.
testimony on both sides showed
that ice from the ponds was unfit ey-
en- for cooling purposes but plaintiff
rails to prove cause due to sewage
from city sewer mains.
The severe floods of 1922 caused
debris from the city to flow into
Pigeon creek. The pond was not
cleaned that summer and the water
was allowed to remain in it, becoming
Stagnant
The court goes on to say that evil
dence shows foul condition in 1922
was due to debris washed into creek
and thence to ponds and allowed to
remain there. Plaintiff has failed to
establish that impurity was due to
sewage into ponds.
At present no sewage from sewer
mains goes into creek.
Plaintiff fails to establish a nui-
sance. either public or private.
Complaint of plaintiff is dismissed
Costs and disbursements of trial are
thrown on plaintiff.

TAKEN TO MILWAUKEE

Otto Koffler, 20, who has been max
ing his home in Lancaster since last
summer, was arrested by Sheriff Liv-
ingston Sunday evening on request of
Milwaukee police headquarters.
Milwaukee officials said they wanted
Otto on charge of desertion of wife
and minor child A baby was born in
December.
Otto is a son of Frank Koffler, for
merly tailor of this city. He came
here last summer, driving new
Durant car which he said he acquired
through fortunate speculation in po-
tatoes. During residence here, Otto
was quite leader in one of the young
er social sets.
He left Monday with the officer, ap-
parently willing to take his medicine
and then turn over new and more
serious leaf of life. He acknowledged
having married the Milwaukee girl
last summer.
Chief of Police Kerr checked the
car matter up Monday. He found a
1922 Durant touring, license No.
14460, had been stolen from j. G..
Steger of 944 33d St., Milwaukee, on
Nov rs. This checks with Otto's car
and it is claimed he reappeared here
in November with a machine, after a
trip to Milwaukee. If so the boy is
probably due for a stiff sentence on
dual charges.

MAYOR KICKS
OF BOSCOBEL
WHIPS TRIO
Doughty River Executive
Arrested for Assault
Trial to be Here.

Mayor Verne Kicks of Boscobel is
under arrest on a charge of assault
made by Pelie Nauert of that city,
charging assault. A Boscobel Justice
refused to issue the warrant Thurs
day and Nauert went to Fennimore
where justice made the information.
Kicks Immediately asked for a change
of venue to Lancaster and the trial
will be held here.
The story is that Nauert and two
relatives entered a restaurant oppo-
site the Nauert soft drink parIor at
Boscobel Wednesday evening. Geo.
Hunt, local manufacturer, and Mayor
Kicks were in the place. An argument
arose between Nauert and Hunt and
the latter busted one" on Nauert's
jaw. The companions of Nauert inter-
fered and according to the Herald's
informant, Kicks stepped in, his arms
swinging like fails, and knocked the
trio to a row of hand-painted potato
peeling receptacles. Kicks is an ex-
piano mover and man of might.
When the case comes up at Lancas-
ter it will be followed with consid-
cradle interest. Boscobel has fur
nished the county with considerable
diversion in the past year.

TALKS ON LINCOLN

Dr. James Fowler was the speaker
of the evening at meeting of the
Fellowship club of the German Evan
gelical church in their social rooms
on Lincoln's birthday, Feb. IL. 102
covers were laid and all enjoyed a
sumptuous repast as well as a pleas
ant evening. Taking Lincoln as
theme, the speaker dwelt upon local
or civic patriotism, as a duty of every
citizen. He considers city as a COL
lective home of all the people in it
and that they should devote thier time
and energy to making it better place
to live in. He denounced the liquor
traffic in the city and in the same
breath criticised the law-abiding cit
izen who keeps his eyes shut to bad
conditions. DR.. Fowler believes Lam
caster is just on the threshold of be-
ing one of the best cities in the coun-
try. His remarks were given close at
tention and applause. Only lack of
space prevents their being printed in
full.

STRIP BOTTOM
OF LANCASTER
STONE QUARRY
Hard Rock Men at Work on
Big COntract.-A Fine
Swimming Pool.

Tom Mcmahon and his gang of help
ers are at work on a big contract get
ting stone out of the Lancaster quarry
near Schreiner park to be used on next
summers street work. The weather is
ideal and the men are making excel
lent progress. The entire west end of
the quarry has been lowered about
five feet and the contract is nearly
completed.
Chas. Meyers of Platteville, with a
helper, is drilling holes for Shots -
putting down drill points about thirty
feet apart to a depth of five feet. This
carries the charge to the bottom of
the strata, another strata immediate
ly following. An air pressure drill
hitched to a pipe line, which in turn
is connected to a compressor, is used
to drill the rock. The holes go down
with lightning rapidity.
When the charge is set off the face
of the strata is blown away and the
rock can be easily broken and piled.
A peculiar formation exists at the
quarry. The stratas run one below the
other with a clay or shale seam be-
tween. Crossing the stratas are seams
which run nearly straight clear across
the quarry. 1t is thus possible to take
rock back to a seam leaving a clear
line of demarcation.
Incidentally. the quarry is just what
Lancaster has been looking for in the
way of swimming pool. Sunk six feet
below the old floor, it would hold
ample water for all purposes. 1t is
several hundred feet each way in area
and has high wall on the east for
diving purposes for the venturesome.
The south approach is even with the
road to the park and the upper spring,
now running down the valley, could
be piped into the pool without much
trouble, affording ample water supply.
This is what Lancaster has been
looking for and we need look no fur
Their. Look it over yourself.

A VETERAN HORSEMAN

c. A. Perrin, veteran horseman and
farmer of Beetown, was a Lancaster
caller Saturday. Mr.. Perrin has hand
led horses for half century and has
an Unborn love and understanding of
good horse flesh. He drove his team
up and back, making the one-way trip
in an hour and a half, which is very
good time. Mr.. Perrin prefers to drive
his team to riding in motor car and
he is certain of getting there and back.
Mr.. Perrin notes with regret the pas
sing of the horse in its association
with the activities of mankind and
feels that human beings are losing
something that is wholesome and use
full. He has race track on his farm
set in a bend of the stream with the
old Grant river hills forming natural
amphitheatre in the background. He
trains his blooded stock there and fits
them for track work and records.

AUTO COLLISION

Joachim Schroeder, Paris farmer,
was a Lancaster business caller Fri
day. Mr.. Schroeder consulted lawyers
here in regard to what steps to take
toward securing damages for an auto
accident incurred by him last week.
He says his car, a Maxwell of late
model, was standing at the roadside
when it was run into by another ma
chine driven by Potosi man. The
Schroeder machine was damaged con-
siderably by the impact and will cost
a tidy sum to repair.

Denies Application in
Consolidation Dispute

Chief Justice Owen in a decision
handed down from the Wisconsin Su-
preme court last week finds for the
school consolidation opposition. The
decision is lengthy and need not be
copied verbatim. In conclusion he
says:
"The proposed consolidation was de-
MED by the local town and village
boards. This no doubt represented
the public sentiment of the community
affected by the proposed consolidation.
The order has not met with cheerful or
any other acquiescence on the part of
those living within the territory at
tached to the original district. Meth
er has the joint district attempted to
assert it's authority in such outlying
district, but by its acts it has rather
disavowed any such authority. This
action even is not brought by the IT.
District. 1t is brought by mere tax
payer residing in the village of
Bloomin gton. Whatever his rights
they certainly dc not rise above those
of the it. District. 1t may we'll be
that the course followed by the Joint
District reflects the majority senti-
ment therein But whether it does or
not. it seems quite plain that the peace
and contentment of that community
will be better promoted by now hold
ing that the conduct on the part of all
the school districts affected has been
such as to estop, each and all of them
from asserting any rights or privil-
eyes under the order of annexation.
For these reasons the relief prayed
court filed on the 26th day of January,
court filed on the 2Sth day of January,
1925"

Flashes
'Life is ShOrt-Tell the Truth"
City Business.

City Business.
This weeks Herald contains the
city treaSurer's report of receipts and
expenditures for the year of 1924. Ev-
ry taxpayer should look it over. 1t
shows totals of around $125, 100000.
The Herald has no criticism of city
officiasl. We think the mayor and al
dermen do the best they can to hold
down costs. They spend a good deal
of time without recompense and under
go a good deal of unmerited criticism.
Being city official is more or less
thankless task.
Nevertheless, this is the business of
all of us. We are all partners. Heavy
expenditures concern every taxpayer,
because they hit his pocketbook.
There is something wrong with our
system of doing business. We will
have to pay little more attention to
and endeavor to find remedy. The
trouble lies not in the men but in the
method When a town like Lancaster
raises and pays out an eighth of a mil
lion dollars in one year it becomes
time to find efficient methods of hand
ling civic business.
Everybody's business is nobody's
business. That is where the present
method is lame.
A better method is the town man
ager system. A man is appointed to
look after city business, find leaks
and cut costs. If he can't show saw
ings in excess of his wages he goes
out.
