In Memoriam —Matilda B. Newman
Matilda Bark Newman was born in
the city of Worcester, Worcestershire.
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.

THE BOSTON STOBE
IN FINANCIAL STRAITS
Siezed by Sheriff Friday at De
mand of Creditors.
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.
Treating Bloated Cattle and Sheep.
Bloat in cattle is an excessive ac
cumulation of gas in the paupch.
Tap high in the left flank wish a,
trochar and canula or pass a stomach
tube (probang) down the gullet.
Give two ounces of turpentine in a
quart of milk as a drench by tha
mouth or one-balf pound ccmmon bak
ing soda dissolved in a quait of warm
water. Rectal injections of soapy
worm water are useful. Do not rvq
the animal, as a rupture may occur.
If instruments are not at hand, tie a
piece of fork handle as a bit in the
mouth.
Bloat in sheep appears suddenly
and is often due to eating wet clover
or alfalfa. Immediately administer
two teaspoonfuls of aromatic
of ammonia or a tablespoonful of
turpentine in a cup of milk as a
drench. If relief is not sufficient,
tap in left flank as above.—From the
