She came from La Crosse, and she

She was greeted by a good audience,
Wednesday evening, when the curtain
went up at the Opera house, but she
looked down upon empty seats when the
canvas was rolled up for the third act,

expecting TO see a show were cooling
their tempers as they wended their way
home by nearest route in hopes that heir
friends might not know that tn J had

Make Good Showing by correctness.

Commenting on the incompleteness of
the average assessor with respect to
crop statistics and facts, the Edgerton
Reporter SAYS: If the census takers
carefully follow the instructions given
them in gathering farm statistics, we
shall have aR opportunity TO learn
whether the assessors figures taken each
year of the same products, are entitled
to as much credit as we usually give
them. We have generally relied upon
the assessors figures for the tobacco
statistics published each season, and
often suspected they We're not as accu-
rate as they might be. This year, how
ever we shall have check upon them
and any decided variation in the totals
will lead to the conclusion they are
reliable, Z"
