That Horrible Report.

The Madison Democrat of last
Saturday morning contained a re-
port that an Infatuated feeder of a
thrashing machine in the country
between Mazomanie and Barneveld,
had thrown boy-a band cutter
into the running machine. The re-
port was so terrible that many
people could not accept it as true.
The Mazomanie Sickle says.
A report was circulated upon the
street Thursday evening to the effect
that some damnable fiend living
near Barneveld while engaged in
feeding a thrashing machine was
accidently cut on the hand by the
band cutter, who was a small boy.
He instantly jumped from the feed
stand and ran about in an Infatuated
manner, frantically swinging the
lacerated member in the air. Sud,
denly he returned and without one
word of warning violently grabbed
the little fellow and threw him
headIong into the cylinder of the
machine while in full motion. The
BODY Of the poor little fellow was

seem.

The West Wisconsin Conference.

The West Wisconsin Conference
completed its thirty-first session at
Dodgeville on Tuesday forenoon.
There was q full attendance of
ministers belonging to the confer
ence, and hosts of laymen from all
directions.
The citizens of Dodgeville attend
ed the sessions in large numbers,
business men not members of the
church leaving business to listen
to the action of the conference on,
Missions, Church Extension, Educa-
ton of the Freedmen, and the Poor
Whites of the South, Temperance,
etc. There is no subject of vital
moral interest that Methodism does
not deal with.
The reports show some advance,
and as they did the same last year,
the church has reason to believe that
it will make rapid progress In the
near future.
The representatives Of the great
correctional institutions were pres
ent and ably presented the claims
of their societies. Five thousand
dollars was pledged to the endow-
ment of Lawrence University, and
more than 81 900 to the superannu-
ated preachers fund.
The conference fell in love with
Dodgeville, and no place could sue
cessfully compete with it if it calls
for the conference again.

ments for this district:

Because they know not what else

liquor serves to kindle the exhausted
fires of digestion. But this liquor
prescription is a bad business for the
