Fatal accident.

Last Thursday evening Frederick
Wachholz, a resident of the Third ward,
and an employe of the Chicago & North
western Railway, was run over by con-
struction train at Jefferson Junction and
sustained such severe injuries as to ter
inmate in his death Friday morning
The unfortunate man attempted to jump
from the train while in motion and by
some means was caught between the rear
trucks of the caboose and in this situation
was dragged some ways before being res
cued. One leg was cut off, the other ter
ribly mangled and he was badly injured
internally. Deceased was a man who
bore the respect of all who knew him for
his quiet industrious habits. He leaves
a wife and was about 55 years of age.

The Crops.
Kenosha

1t is the general opinion that the crops
were never in a more satisfactory condi-
ton as a whole than at the present time.
Even corn which has been backward all
along is now coming forward rapidly and
gives equal promise with other crops.
Winter wheat and rye fields look splen-
did and give assurance of a remarkably
heavy yield. Spring wheat appears thrifty
and since the recent warm rains its
chances for yielding well have greatly
improved Barley is likewise in fine con-
dition and oats have very heavy stand.
Potatoes look well and early ones will
soon be in market. Grass is in fair con-
dition and a more than average hay crop
will be cut. Fruit trees are loaded down
as scarcely ever before in this section and
great Weld of all kinds of fruit is doubt
less in store for us. Taken altogether
there is no cause for grumbling whatever
Judging from the agricultural outlook,
and the occupation of the croakers would
seem to be gone for this season at least

Il Country SaUi3sdIe.

A systematic swindle, by means of bo-
gus checks, has just come to light. The
checks are drawn in the several smaller
towns in the state on banks in this city,
although country parties are the losers.
Some travelling dead-beat has shrewdly
got into the good graces of hotel keepers,
merchants and country banks, and, re-
presenting himself as connected with a
Milwaukee wholesale boot and shoe house,
has succeeded in playing his little game
thus far undetected. He has made bis
field of labor in a number of towns of
this state and in northern Illinois The
banking-ho of Martin & Ilsley has re-
ceived two of these checks from their cor
respondents. One was for $50 drawn on
the Second Ward Savings Bank of this
city and signed by Shattuck & Binger.
The check was cashed by merchant at
Stoughton, and by him endorsed, and
given to the bank for collection. The
other was for 500 from La Crosse, on
che same bank, and signed by the same
name. Both were sent to the Second
Ward Savings Bank, but were, of course,
pronounced bogus. No such firm exists
in the city and the checks were protested
and returned. The clearinghouse Of
Houghton Bros. has received two bogus
checks, also, one signed by the same
names as the above for $50, payable to
William Coopman, drawn on the Second
Ward Savings Bank. The other was
payable, also, to the order of William
Coopman, for $50, but was drawn at Ga
lena, Illinois, on the First National Bank,
of this city, signed by Wallace & Sloat.
The check was casheo by a hotel keeper
and endorsed by him. The National
Exchange Bank received a check from
Mauston, drawn on the Second Ward
Savings Bank for $50, signed the same as
the others-by Shuttuck & Binger. The
First National Bank also received two
checks each for $50, and one coming
from Platteville, signed by Wallace &
Sloat. These two were received besides
the one through Houghton Bros, making
$3.50 which has been swindled out of par
ties by checks on this bank. The whole
amount drawn on the Second Ward
Savings Bank was $3.50. The above are
all the bogus checks from these dead-beats
that have come to light thus far. The
blanks used were the regular printed,
stamped blanks, and there is some won
der how the swindler got hold Of them.
He is ''taking in all the towns, how
ever, and plays the game we'll. AT Maus
ton he induced the hotel keeper to intro
duce him at the bank, and the latter
consequently cashed his check without
having it endorsed by the landlord.-Re-

Il Cure for SaCsa Stroke.

For an effective cure for sunstroke the
the following is especially recommended;
Remove the patient to a shaded spot at
once. Place the body in a sitting pos
ture, the back against a wall with the
feet and and legs resting upon the side
walk and extended in front of the body.
Get ice-water and bottle of some strong
essence of 81 niger. Pour the ice-water
over the head copiously; never mind the
clothes. Then pour two or three table
spoonfuls of ginger in about half a tllm-
bier Of water and make the patient swal-
low it quickly. Keep the head cool by
using a little of the ice-water, and in case
there is not much of a glow upon the
body give more ginger. If the directions
are followed there will be no occasion for
the service of an undertaken. Ginger is
far the best to use, but where it cannot
be had quickly, two or three good drinks
of brandy will answer.

In the evening the Northwestern Uni
Yersity cornet band, 0. M. yesterday, d.
