A Hero In the Hurricane.

On the night of the 4th inst. when
the recent cyclone struck the town Of
John Chambers, a young
man IS years old, employed as engin-
Ger at the Electric Light and Power
House, stood at his post of duty at
the throttle Of the thiobblng engine
that gave eaergy to the dynamo that
illuminated the town that was des-
tined to be thrown into wild state Of
terpidation by the furious and fast ap-
preaching storm. With crash and
a roar and rattle came the rushing
winds, lifting great houses from their
foundations, prostrating strong oaks
that had stood the storms Of a century,
lifting roofs, razing chimneys as it
dashed along in its wild career leaving
wrecks, ruin, and death in its wake.
With a crash came down the tall
smoke stack Of the Electric Light
Plant, doubling itself over the house
crashing the roof, the West side Of the
brick wall groaned and capped and fell
leaving the debris scattered far and
wide. Strange to say midst OF this
destruction, stood alone the young en-
gineer undaunted and intact, the en-
CINE pent with steam serged like a
ship in a fierce storm. The steam
whistle from the Parham factory
sounded the distress alarm. Like a
cool calculating General, this young
hero drew the fire from the engine,
released the steam-valves, and with
nerve and sang t,@d deliberaticn ad.
justed everything with the same care
as It nothing unusual had happened,
| then went out into the still raging
| storm to aid others in distress.

There was gloom all over the city
last Saturday. First the Normal foot
ball team fell down before the SUI
perior braves, then the telephone told
the story of the highs tumble at New
Richmond. II to was the score in
the Normal game, II to in the high
game. The game at New Richmond
was called at three. New Richmond
kicked off and River Falls started
toward the goal line. New Richmond
could not hold them, and they canter-
ed up the field in way that made
hackers of New Richmond look sick.
Within ten yards of the goal they lost
the ball, a New Richmond player
Jerking it from Ed Linehan as he
was downed. Then River Falls stock
took tumble, for with the ball In
her possession New Richmond began
to roll up the grid-iron as. though it
belonged to her. They were helped to
the extent of 10 yards by decision ~
of the referee, but they did not need
enough without it. After the next
kick off, New Richmond again started
through the field, but lost the ball on
a tumble at the ten yard line. and it
was River Falls turn. New Rich
mond couldn't stop them, but time
could, and they were 80 yards out
when there was only 20 seconds left to
play and tried kick. 1t was a splen-
did place to kick and only failed goal
by foot, and the first half was over.
The rest developed the fact that more
than half OF the River Falls team was
in no condition to continue the game,
but there were not substitutes
enough, and though crippled they
were obliged to play it out. The play
ing was fierce, but New Richmond
made a touchdown in about IL
minutes without being stopped.
After the next kick off River Falls
got the ball on downs, and then took
a wonderful brace, going up the field
Ikea steam engine down grade. They
could not keep it up however, and lost
the ball. when New Richmond started
back. Their games came slower than
before, however, and they were finally
forced to kick. Bergseng got through
and hit the ball only to raise it high
enough so that it went over the line,
where O'Connell fell On it for New
Richmond and the score was II to 0.
The game was clean one and fast,
but neither team showed any defen-
sive work. Whichever team had the
ball made the gains. and luck and
fun bles decided the contest. The
local boys say they were treated well
by the New Richmond team and
crowd and have no kick TO register.

The 9th Annual Report of the
Wisconsin Dairymen's Association is
a pamphlet that contains within its
200 pages large amount of valuable
information to dairymen, and some
that vitality concerns all who use dairy
products. At the dairymen's conven-
tlon, held in Green Bay in February,
DR.. r. G. Buchana an made some
alarming statements, which, if true,
give ominous warning TO everybody
and urge upon the State Board OF
Health the necessity of vigilance and
vigorous action. The doctor made the
statement, which he claims is based
upon experiment, that one-fourth OF
the milk sold in villages and cities is
infected with tuberculosis, the ba-
clllus that causes consumption. BE
says over one-half the people of this
country are affected with tuberculosis
in some form, and cites celebrated
physician who claims that IS per cent
Of deaths that occur are of tuberculosis
in some form. One dairyman said
that thoroughbred cattle are more
subject to the disease than others but
because the disease is in a way con-
tagious and these cattle are shipped
all over the country from one herd tc
another and carry the infection with
them.

The pianaforte Lecture-Recital.


The lecture recital of the celebrated
pianist, Edward Baxter Perry, at the
Congregational church Tuesday even
ing, was literally patronized and high
ly appreciated. For two hours the
accomplished artist held his four-hun-
dred auditors spell bound and charm
ed by the enchantment of his match
less eloQuence in description and his
incomparablel skill in performance
The tension upon the audience SEEM
ed nearly as great as that which held
the performer, so magnetic was the
power Of the musician, so much in
sympathy the hearers. Professor Per-
ry has his own piano with him, a
Knabe grande, magnificent instru-
ment, powerful and responsive to the
lightest touch Of the eminent artist.
Mr.. Perry is an orator as well as
musician. With eloquent words,
elegantly and APPLY spoken, he describ-
ed each piece of music; the author, the
conception of the theme, the circum-
stances of its creation, the peculiarities
and the environment of the PERSONAL
ties involved, its adaptation and
limitations. This preliminary de-
scription gave enhanced interest to
the music and added charm to its per-
formance, executed by deft fingers
with whole-souled apprehension
Beethoven 's,Sonata--descriptiYe Of the
aurora borealis, with the professors
explanation and performance carried
one into an appreciation OF the splend-
ors, the changing glories, the magnifl-
cent grandeur of that wonderful and
beautiful display of heavenly forces.
And so with every other piece on the
program, the effect of the music was
emphasized and its appreciation
heightened by the performers prelimi-
nary lecture.
The Derthick Society, under whose
auspices the concert was rendered, are
to be commended for their courage in a
venture of such meritorious results
and congratulated for the success of
the undertaking. The revenue was
adequate to the expenditure-in cash
and "value received"
The Society in announcing the
concert claimed for it exceptional
merit, relying upon the worldwide
fame Of this eminent pianist. The
judgment Of the gratified audience
responds to the correctness Of their
claim. The pianoforte recital Of
Mr.. Perry was a splendid perform
ance, highly enjoyed by an apprecia
tive audience.

Good Clothing at Jenson' s.

The death of Daniel Cleveland of
Hudson, who was riding bicycle on
the road near Burkhardt's recently,
is attributed to a broken neck caused
by falling. Chas. Jenzsk, who saw
him fall, as we hear, said he met with
no obstruction to cause his fall. 1t is
probable that the man had heart dis
ease and the exertion of riding caused
a failure of the heart to perform its
functions.
