A CHASTITY Find.

Considerable excitement was caus-
ed at Elk Grove, on Sunday evening
by the finding of the skeleton of
man hanging to the limb of tree
near that place. The discovery was
made by two young men who where
returning home from church. 1t
was found to be the skeleton of a
German, aged about % years, who
had recently returned from a visit to
his native land, disappointed in his
hopes of marriage there. He for
merly worked for John Mcbride, a
former living about a mile and a
half from Elk Grove. On his return
from Germany he again commenced
to work for Mcbride, and worked for
about a month. He was missing
for eighteen days, and no clue was
obtained as to his whereabouts until
the discovery above stated was made.

Hobbies of the Hyqienists.

There were several dozen of the
hygienists in council each with his
individual hobby. Each thought
all the others were wrong. Each
was sure that his own hobby was
the only correct one. A gentleman
present said he had taken Browns
Iron Bitters for debility and dys-
pepsis, and though he didn't want
to make a fuss about it, he knew
the use of this great tonic to be
better than all the notions he had
heard advanced in the council. One
practical cure is worth thousands of
guesses and notions. Thousands of
happy convalescents speak gratefully
of Browns Iron Ritters.

RIM Over by a Wagon.

On last Friday afternoon Roy, q
tive-year old son of w. Z. Jackson,
who lives about mile north Of the
city, was run over by q wagon con-
tanning hayrack and about half
loaded with hay-one of the hind
wheels passing directly over his head
above the eye and ear; but strange
to say, without crushing the skull.
The accident happened as follows:
Mr.. Jackson was stacking hay and
was upon the wagon. the wagon being
between two windows, which had
been thrown into sort Of heaps,
while his brother Matt was pitching
to him from the uphill side of the
wagon. On the down-hill side, and
below the row upon that side, Mr..
Jackson's. three children were play
ing. And somehow or other all un-
observed Roy went under the wagon,
and either lay down, or was knock
ed down, and when the team was
started up again the wheel upon
the upper side passed over his head
as above stated. The boy screamed
as the wagon struck him, and Mr..
jackson gathered him up in his
arms and carried him to the house
supposing he was fatally injured.
His hat was cut through by the
wheel and the skin badly bruised ;
but fortunately the skull escaped
without crushing, and there is now
reason to hope for his permanent re-
covery. The ground was rather soft
where the boys head rested and the
lower wheel pitched down a few
inches into hole, which may have
partially raised the weight from the
upper side; but as it was it seems. al
most miracle that he escaped.

A weak minded man named Rob-

a weak minded man named Rob-
ert Bennett stole a horse from pas
ture near Dodgeville on Monday
night. Sheriff Owens got word
that he was in this city on Tuesday
morning, and telephoned to deputy
Samuel Sims to apprehend him,
which he did and recovered the
horse, but Bennett was not watched
as closely as he would have been
if he was entirely responsible, and
somehow or other made his escape
before the sheriff arrived to take
him and the horse in charge. We
have not learned whether he has
since been captured or not.
During one of the severe thunder
storm of last week lightning struck
a barbed fence wire on the farm Of
Mr.. Dunlap in the town Of Burke.
For a distance of several rods the
wire was torn from the fastenings
and twisted into all sorts of shapes.
Several fragments of the wire left at
this office show a peculiar freak OF
the subtle fluid. The steel barbs
were not affected by the bolt, and
the section of wire around which
the steel barbs were twisted re-
NAMED intact while on either side
it was melted off snug up to barb
Sun Prairie Countryman.
Reports of accidents from the
terrible horse fork still continue to
come in. The Dodgeville Sun re-
ports that George Thomas of Mifflin,
was Saturday last severely injured
Oh the head by the accidental fall Of
three poles which he had erected
into a temporary anchorage from
which to operate a hay fork. He
had one of his ears nearly torn off.
His injuries, however are more pain
full than dangerous. The Brod-
head Independent says that Thos.
Snaff, of Spring Grove, while oper-
ating hay-fork on Tuesday. was
caught by tine rope and drawn up
some distance and then fell upon
the hay-rack. He was badly
bruised but it is thought no bones
are broken and it is hoped he will
soon be out.
Last summer remarkable mortal
ity existed among the perch in Lake
Mendoza, at Madison, dead fish
being washed up on the shore in
countless numbers. Thirty tons
were buried by the authorities alone.
The fishes were fat, of good color,
and apparently perfectly sound.
United States Fish Commissioner
Baird detailed Prof. S. A. Forbes of
the Illinois State College at Cham
paign to investigate the mystery.
Prot. Forbes has just made a report,
which shows that the morality was
due to spherical germ, about one
twenty-five thousandth of an inch in
diameter, which attacked the liver
and kidneys, forming assesses oft
times and destroying the cells of the
organ. This germ belongs to a
group which produces smallpox,
chicken cholera and hog cholera.
The perch are supposed to have
caught the contagion from the deep
water herring.

Those intending to
buy a Binder should
not do so without see

to build and put in the
field what is called the
Binders, hav-
ing built and sold in

Others are following
now but they are not
tried. IF you are wise
and wish to be on the

The ldannerchor Concert.

The fifth regular monthly entertainment
of the Mennerchor Society took place last
evening at their hall in the presence of the
entire membership.
The programme presented was an ex.
tremely difficult one, and in view of the fact
that tie time Of preparation was only about
three weeks. the members are to be hesrtily
congratulated upon the manner in which the
selections were rendered.
The principal solo work was done by Mr..
Il. Z. Levi, he taking the tenor parts IA
the opening and closing selections By the so
eiety, end rsnderti Z the beautiful tenor
solo, "AcelIase," by Beethoven. Mr.. Levi
has voice which, although lacking little
in strength, when used In passages with full
orchestra accompaniment is remarkably
sweet a1d clear and MS work last evening
was. az il usually is well received.
Mrs. J. P Frenz-l gave delightful inter
presatlnD OF the soprano part al iotted TO her
IN the finsl number. Mrs. FreDzers bea0ti.
fol voice aud pleasing methods are so we'll
known 20 our musical public that it is need
iess TO say that the audience appreciated her
eifcris.
The frs. number was Mendelssohne ex-
tFemely heavy and tanefQl dramatic descrIp-
ton "WalpUrgis Night" and was given by
the entire strength of the society, the solo
parts being sustained by Miss Laura Hes
sling 6nd MeSsrs. Levi and Benner5cheld IN
"a satisfactory manner, that speaks well for
the untiring zeal and activity OF the chorus
and director.
The programme closed with light and
pleasant rendition OF Koschats "Kirchtsge
Wider" which IN English signifies festival
or shooting tournament, cUstomarily held in
Germany.
The solcs were allotted to Mrs. Frenzsl
and mr. Levi and they were ably supported
by the male chorus Professor Miliers or.
cheslfe performed their duties in admirable
style and for their number on the pro
grsmme delighted the audience with The
ever popular william Tell" overture. by
Rsssini. At the close Of the concert social
dance was enjoyed bV all present.
