The p. NJ. Sunday School have
always been successful in getting up
novelties for Christmas Eve. This
year they intend to cap the climax
by having a house on the platform
with chimney big enough for Old
Santa Claus to pour hundreds of
presents down through. He has
/ promised to be there, and he says
that the large crops and beautiful
weather has enabled him to gather
together more dolls and rocking
horses, and everything else that will
make the boys and girls happy, than
every before. They don'tinvite you
to come because they know you will
all be there.
WE are headquarters for dress
goods. You ought to see our stock
before buying. j. DELLER.

OK Dec. 18th, while Mr.. George
Thrasher, wife and little child, of
Diamond Grove, were driving over
the road bridge at Muscoda, which
spans the Wisconsin river, on their
way home, when having reached
that high portion over the slough
about one hundred feet from the
main channel of the river, the team
became frightened at the men who
We're working above repairing the
trusses, and started to back up. Mr.
Thrasher sprang out and grasped the
animals by the bits but could not
stop them until the wagon had gone
over the side of the bridge from
which the guard-tail had been en-
tirely removed by the repairers.
Fortunately the pole broke off near
the wagon aad by great efforts the
team was kept on the structure.
One of the bridge men dropped
from the bridge, spraining both
ankles, grasped the child out Of the
water, and unwrapping it found i'll
alive and with but slight bruises.
The mother was lying unconscious
on a frozen sand bar from which
she and the child were taken to the
Muscoda brewery Office, the nearest
building. A physician was called
and her suiferings relieved as much
as possible. Sunday she, feeling
better, wished TO be taken home. /
This was done. After reaching
home she began to grow weak and
her pain increasing Drs. Tallman g
Reilly were called, who after care
full examination find her in a critical
condition due to the shock and in
ternal injuries. Great indignation
is expressed on all sides at the neg
lect Of the bridge owners to provide
any protection in such a dangerous
place.
