The exercises at the school Friday

attraction, as there were over forty
visitors present Among others were
two members of the board. Charles
Loescher, the first teacher, said that it
was the first time since being teacher
al Pleasant Prairie, that he has had
present two members of the board as
visitors on such an occasion. The
exercises were fine and gave great
credit TO the teachers, Chas. LOeschor
and Miss Clara Barter The singing
by the school was excellent and the
rendering of the pieces by the pupils
was above the average. Among those
deserving special notice are: The
Christmas party" given by the little
ones, in which were Frost King and
Santa Claus, impersOnated by Walter
Schmutz and Howard Carpenter. An
order on Santa Claus" by Louise
Hansen. A reading by Edna Yates.
The closing piece, Christmas Re-
Union" by all the small children.
Lewis Newy ears hand car had an
exciting time Of it last Monday. New
year, the Section boss, and one of his
men were near the cut between Pleas
ant Prairie and Ranney when two
engines and caboose came tearing
around the curve at terrific rate,
making the run from Kenosha to
Pleasant Prairie in eight minutes. The
track was icy and the brakes to the
hand car therefore did not do very
good service. The men succeeded in
stopping the car, only giving them time
enough, however, to get out of the way,
leaving the hand car on the track.
The front engine struck the car in
such a way as to fasten two wheels on
the engine while the other two re-
NAMED on the track and travelled that
way to within about half a mile of
Bristol, when the engineer found
that he had another car ahead of
him. They backed up to our
station with the car and seeing
no one was hurU, steamed ahead.
Query-What was the engineer doing
in the time intervening between the
time he struck the car and the time he
noticed the car when within half
mile of Bristol?
