The CcEie Side of a Bad Matter.

Farmers in the city today from Coon
Valley are telling about freaks of the
miniture cyclone which came to their
notice. One farmer had a patch of
potatoes turned around until it was rum
ming north and south,
Another farmer asserts that the horns
of his COWS were twisted Off while the
cows were feeding in the pasture. Still
another farmer had the audacity TO say
that the roofs ON his pig pens were blown
away and his pigs are now in the Chicago
stock yards carried there by the wind.

Wreck On The Kiekapoo Road.

The X. v. & N. had another accident
Wednesday afternoon that piled up sew
eral cars and disabled an engine. The
regular train going south had gone
down and the gravel train following,
when the regular stopped at Petersburg
heal the mill. and the other train came
round the curve above the village, and
crashed into the regular train which
had four cars of sand hitched behind
the coach. The engine and forward
cars went through or over the sand cars
and took off the steps of the passenger
coach and turned over head formost into
the ditch. Ten cars were demolished.
Engineer, Ted Gink. who was On the
gravel train, stuck'to the throttle and
went with the engine into the ditch up
side down, and after some little squeez-
ing came out of the wreck with a few
bruises. Sam Ballou, the fireman,
jumped and was not hurt. No was
seriously injured in the mix-up, al
though the passengers in the coach were
pretty badly shaken up. The regular
train came IN down, but an hour or
more late. The damage to the railway
company is estimated at several thous-
and dollars, Prairie du Chen Union.

Homes For Children.

Rev. o. L. Robinson, of Madison, dis
trict superintendent of the Childrens'
Home society of Wisconsin, who spoke
to the Viroqua people two weeks ago
Sunday, on child saving work, is graft
fed at the cordial and substantial sym
pathy expressed. He was unable to call
upon all who are interested and helping
in this rescue work, but will return
again SOC to complete the work, visiting
Westby at the same time. The follow
ing items are taken from the years re-
port: Last year 500 children were res
cued and placed into approved homes,
making nearly 900 in all. For this work
a little over $11, 900 was received and ex-
pended in board, clothing and care of
children, travelling expenses and salaries
of agents. The average expense for each
child placed was about $55. Public
sentiment has rapidly grown during the
year in favor of this family method of
caring for these dependent children.
Many homes of the better class socially,
morally and financially are now open to
children that were closed five years ago.
Nearly 30 homes are now waiting to be
supplied. The prospects for the coming
year are most encouIa aging.
