Tae deplora bic tradgedy in
Coahoma county appears to have
been, as usual, the result of the
concealed weapon habit. Accord
ing TO accounts received here, at
ter the killing of DR.. Alsop u
great number of shots were fired,
Hon, Oscar Mcguire being sub
iectld to perfect fusiIlade. That
he escaped with several flesh
wounds only is miraculous. 1t
appears that the shooting was not
prompted by political feeling, as
was at first supposed, but was the
result Of a private quarrel. d,
Alsop viii be remembered as the
man who killed Mr.. Walton, at
Shaws, a year or two ago, and
vas known to be a man always
prepared for trouble.

The Mobility of Labor,

Oshkosh Northwestern: We are al
laborers in some vineyard, whether it
be with the dpruning hook or hoe. Idle
ness is no longer sanctioned by a correct
civilization Nature abhors idleness as
1t abhors q vacuum. The universe is SO
regulated and human society is such
that idleness wears more than use. An
idle machine becomes useless so0ne
than ore kept in constant motion. The
idle man lives only half a life compared
with him who labors. His physical and
mental being becomes like the rusty
machine, of small use to himself and less
to the community. The dignity of la
Dor is in the consciousness of being use
full. Whatever is useful is labor or
represents labor. Labor is the founda-
ton of all progress, of all happiness, of
all that separates man from the worm.
Man may be the noblest work of God,
but the noblest work of mar is a job
we'll done. The fashioning of a pieceo of
wood or iron is as lauuable NJ art as the
painting of a picture, and is rs beauti-
full in the eyes of tie worlds truest art
lists. Labor has become an art, and art
labor. Intelligent labor is king in this
country, and it is distressing to see
those who pretend to be its friends and
advisers about the land portraying the
laboring man as d serf and as a brother
TO the OK, belittling his existence and
calling him names that every selfres-
pecting man should resent.

OF special interest to the people.
The Christian Endeavor gave q
pleasant Hallow even party to ou1
young people, in the social rooms of the

were over IS, showing that nearly a
hundred were present.
The offering for foreign missions is
still growing. We now have $40 on
hand.
Work on the new church dining

Substitute for High Beefsteak.

During the past few weeks party of
professional turtle catchers have been
plying their trade along the Mississippi
river. Those who have watched them
fish for the ~succulent and rich favored
turtle state that these men are adopts
mt the business and scarcely ever fail In
making a capture when the honely
looking and vicious animal is once To-
Gated. This is done by means of a hook
ed continuance, fearfully and wonder
fully made, but perfectly reliable in its
work. The turtles are thrown alive in
10 large barrels as fast as caught and
when a sufficient number has been Sc
cured they are shipped to eastern cities
where they emulate beefsteak in climb
ing the scale of high prices. These peo-
pie state that there is big money in the
turtle business, but that the annual
crop is going to fail in keeping up with
the demand.

The State Board of Control takes
strong ground against letting the medi-
cal service required at the county insane
asylums to the lowest bidder. On this
subject the board says: mo sensible
person would think of selecting his
family physician in that manner, and
the practice is deemed equally repre-
hensible when applied to the unfortunate
persons who's e maintenance has become
a public charge" The board recon-
mends the selection of a competent and
reputable physician by the year. This
has been the practice of the Vernon
county asylum authorities since the
establishment of the institution.

VERNON CoUN CENSOR

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1899.
Mondoyi Herald: The most sensible

Mondovi Herald: The most sensible
trust yet proposed is a church trust.
The people of a Kansas town are trying
to form a trust Of a half dozen or more
churches, discharge as many half starved
preachers who preach to half starved
congregations, spiritually speaking, and
hire one good man. Thus they will get
good preaching fer much less money.
There is sense and good business methods
in this plan. The Kansas town is only
the counterpart of nearly every small
town in the United States. Too many
weak churches and weaker preachers
are struggling and striving where a
concentration of congregations and
church capital would add much to the
influence of the church and extend the
kingdom.

A startling incident, of which Mr..

subject, is narrated by him as follows;
Il was i'll a most dreadful condition.
My skin. was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain coming in back and
sides, no appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying Electric Bitters;' and to
my great joy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improvement. ]
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now Il well man. / know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave Of another

them. Only 80 cents, guaranteed, at A.
