"A couple of empty fat cars near the
end of the train left the track at switch
as the way freight was pulling onto
siding at this station Wednesday morn
ing. 1t was the work of a short time to
pull the cars back onto the rails and re-
pair the disturbed roadbed. There was
no apparent reason why the cars left the
rails.
Frank Bemuth, an employe of the
brick yard, fell from top of a kiln Monday
noon, something over 20 feet, sustaining a
fractured hip which will lay him up for
some time. He is about 30 years of age
and his home is at Racine, having been
in this city but short time. He was
sent onto the roof to remove the cover
ing from kiln just started and told to
bracesthe pole that carried the roof be-
fore doing it which he neglected to do,
and it broke under him.
The sad death of Master Rollin Head
at Albion is an illustration of how slight
an injury may lead to fatal results.
When he accidently stepped upon nail
a few days ago the wound was so slight
that nothing more than ordinary atten-
ton seemed necessary, and the indica-
tions were favorable for rapid healing
of the injury, in fact had thought him
self about recovered when more serious
symptoms developed, and few hours
later commissions occurred. Physicians
claim that tetanus or lockjaW as it is
Familiarity called, is produced by germ
similar in nature to the germs of diph-
liberia or typhoid, and although an anti
toxin remedy has been produced unsat-
isfactory results have occurred from it's
use. Statistics show we are told, that
not more than ten per cent. of the cases
of lockjaw survive, and ply sicians gen
orally are powerless to control the dis
ease except to relieve the sufferings of
the patient by sedatives,
In a few instances the man who is
connected with that great establishment
known as the twelfth Census of the
United States" is attacked with VIC
lent case of the shivers even in this sui
try June weather. Chills which seem to
be inherited from a cold contracted in
the winter of TO, chase one another up
and down his spinal column in ragtime
succession and he longs to abide in the
country where la grippe had it's birth
and the enumeration Of the population
is never taken. Now and then he is met
at the door of the family residence by
woman who is the model of an ice berg
that has taken first prize for never hav-
ing crossed the line of the circle around
the north pole, and told in seemingly I'M
relenting tones that she does not wish to
buy "The Dread and Fear of Kings and
that the family is we'll supplied with
SOAP starch, plug tobacco and corn salve,
at the same time slamming the door in
his face in a manner that rattles the
glass Of the windows in the next house.
It is then that the census taker readily
locates the path of the chills underneath
the back seam of his coat. According
to the iron-cla oath of his office he
must enumerate that house or perish
on the front door mat. Ting ling,
ting a-ling goes the bell again and when
the lady appears the second time he
hastily explains that his mission is not
to sell books or leave samples of starch
and soap, but that he is sent there by
your Uncle Sam to take the census of
the family and their ancestors to be
compiled for statistical purposes only.
She melts. Throws the door open wider
than it has been since the last daughter
was married, and politely invites him to
come in and occupy the large upholster-
ed chair that is an heirloom in the
family. The man of census occupation
then begins to realize his path is not
