England, August 27th, 1825. She met and married Robert Newman of Kinnersley, Worcestershire. England, January 17th, 1848, came to America the same year and located in Little Grant, Grant county, Wisconsin, thereafter living in Grant county and this state sixty-four years. She died June 14th, 1912, in the city of Lan caster and was buried in the Little Grant cemetery, July Bth, 1912, be side her husband, the late Robert Newman, who had preceded her several years. Mrs. Newman is sur vived by three children, Frank New man, of Brownsville, Texas: Davis Newman, of Lancaster and Mrs. T. H. Corfield of Fennimore; and thus has passed away one of the early pioneers of this county. She came to the county when everything was new and somewhat wild, and with her she brought that polished and accom plished demeanour which made her respected by all with whom she came in contact. She was revered and re spected and sincerely loved by her children who at all times treated her with the utmost deference. Her whole being detested impurity of life, in thought, word and action ; yet her denunciations were seldom heard. Charity for all was the rule of life with her. She was a stranger to selfishness and always tried to see how much she could do for those she loved. The basic of a high character, un sullied integrity and unimpeachable honor, belonged to her. She was a Christian woman of the Episcopalian faith, and lived up to the tenets of her faith; and she was buried from the church in which so long worshiped and for which she bad done so much. Many of her old time acquaintances were in attendance at the funeral and the sympathetic tear was shed by those who knew her best and who had in years gone by been honored by her presence and her kind ly greeting. Butterm: Ik’s Food Value Only a few years ago the chickens and the pigs got most of the residuum 1 of a churning. They get very little j of it now, for the wise men of the hos- I pitals have educated the public to a knowledge of its value. Not only in cases of serious stomachic ailment,but for all persons of feeble or impaired digestion, buttermilk is now esteemed a boon. The once despised by-product ranks with sweet milk and outranks it both with those who find it palatable and crave it, »nd with those for whom it is medicinally prescribed The taste for buttermilk is mostly acquired, but once one gets the habit it grows and sticks. Back of the dev eloped fondness for the ccld, tart, acid beverage is the agreeable conscious ness that the drink, wii.li the casein principle of milk eliminated, is a food salutary, wholesome and easily diges ted. and that the more one imbibes of it so much the better. Recent years have witnessed an enormous increase in the consumption of buttermilk. Department stores serve it with crack ers; most saloons are compelled to keep it on tap, and many report a gratify ing preference for it on the part of their patrons over bee.r. Great is buttermilk, indeed; a nu tritious food, a cooling summer drink. Different Arrangements. Harlan Morton Moore.

Sam Levin, the Proprietor Has Filed a Consent to Adjudication as a Bankrupt. The Boston Store, Sam Levin pro prietor, is temporarily closed, pend ing adjustment of financial difficulties. For several weeks it has been known by certain ones that business has not been so prosperous as could have been desired in this institution, and al| kinds of rumors, most of them imaginative and without foundation of fact, have been in circulation. The situation, briefly stated, is thafi Mr. Levin got behind, financially, and was compelled to put a chattel mortage upon his stock to meet the demands of his heaviest creditors, in Chicago. This was done for the purpose of obtaining an extension of credit, and carried with it an agree ment to make certain payments -with in specified periods, which he later found himself unable to comply with. On Thursday of last week F. J. Moulton, a Chicago attorney, acting for the creditors, under the conditions of the mortgage, came to Lancaster and had the store taken possession of by the sheriff. The key to the store was turned over to the sheriff, who locked the doors anl posted thereon a notice reading: “This store closed by trustee for creditors.’’ A petition was filed in the U. S. District Court, at Madison, last Fri day or Saturday, asking that Mr. Levin be adjudicated a bankrupt. At. the suggestion of Attorney Moulton Mr. Levin executed and mailed to tno, referee in bankruptcy a consant to be so adjudicated and the probabilities are th&L within a very f?w days a receiver will be appointed and the stock turned over to him by tne sheriff. Common leport places the amount of Mr. Levin’s indebtedness at about .$30,000 and his assets at perhaps SIB,OOO to $20,000 but upon this point no positive knowledge is obtainable at present. This is fiist business failure of any consequence that has occurred in Lan caster in a score of years or more and is a matter of sincere regret by out* citizens generally.
