silver Wedding Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Jensen were at
home New Years to receive the congrat-
ulations of large circle of friends on
their twenty fifth wedding anniversary.
Aside from immediate relatives invita-
tons were extended to all the guests now
living who were present at their wedding
twenty-five years ago, which included
many of the old settlers on Albion Prai-
RE. More than hundred friends were
right royalty entertained during the day
and the occasion was made memorable
in many ways. No other citizen of Ed
gerton has occupied more prominent
position in the affairs of our city. than
Mr.. Jensen, having been five times elect
ed to the office of mayor. AS public
spirited citizen no man ever did more to
promote movements looking to the bene
fit of our town, and in liberality few are
his equal. We believe we voice the SEN
timent of the community in wishing Mr..
and Mrs. Jensen many returns of their
wedding day and sincere congratulations

LeOpard's Bite Was Not Fatal

Benjamin Hess, who was bitten Sept.
9Th, by leopard which escaped from
Col. Geo. Halls menagerie at Evansville,
and reported to have died Sunday, is
alive and in fair way to recover. Hess
is farmer living in the town of Mag
nolia, large and heavy man nearly 70
years of age. The injuries are flesh
wound in the shoulder and are slow in
healing. The animal which wounded
Hessa bit Walter fuller who was
also with the searching party that dis
covered the leopard in the woods and
killed it, but he was sent to the Pasteur
Institute at Chicago for treatment and
has fully recovered. Mr.. Hess has a
suit pending against Col. Hall for dam
ages of several thousand dollars. =
The skin of the leopard which caused
SO much excitement at Evansville while
at large was purchased by Geo. L. Pullen
for $35. He had the skin subsequently
tanned and made into rug by a Mil
waukee house. The rug not only valu-
able as historical memento but is worth
several hundred dollars as handsome
household decoration.

The supply of milk at the creameries
in Wisconsin has fallen off fearfully.
Creamery men say they never knew it to
be so low before, and it is going to be
lower. They believe butter must be
higher before long, and by spring bring
better price than it has for years. The
principal reason assigned for this de-
crease in the amount of milk is that in
the first place there was very damag-
ing drouth last summer, leaving feed
very high and lessening the number of
animals kept by the farmers, who could
better afford to sell them than keep them
for milk purposes at the ruinous prices
of the feed necessary for maintenance.
Dairymen are disposing of a part of their
herds. They have held onto all that
they thought they conld possibly get
through the winter. Timothy hay is S14
a ton, marsh hay ten dollars, oat straw
six dollars, oats 80 cents a bushel, corn
70 cents, bran $22 a ton, and other feeds
in proportion. Some men insist that
they cannot afford to buy feed to make
their COWS give milk, for they say that
the milk will not pay for the feed.

Harvest for the Blacksmith.

The village blacksmith has been the
busiest individual around for few weeks
past. The country roads are so smooth
and icy that only the sharpest shod
horses can travel and those who have
much driving to do need their horses
resharpened every other day at least.

John Soulman of GAINESVILLE has been
riding in this locality few days this
week.
Mr.. Baenisch, leaf dealer of Denver,
COL, has been in the markets of the
state during the week.
Mr.. Chas L Culton has been confined
to his room and under the care of a ply
stefan for few days past. His illness
is of nervous character, but his friends
hope will be only of temporary nature.
The American Cigar Co., organized
under the laws of New Jersey with S10,t
100000 capital, filed articles with the Sec
rotary of state on Monday. The capital
invested in Wisconsin is S25O,00O, largely

Geo. Underhill has been transferring
the tobacco on hand in the Schroeder &
Argninbau warehouse, sold some time
ago to the Mcintosh Bros, into the Jen-
son brick warehouse which he has leased
and gives possession of his old quarters
with the new year.
The enormity and value of the tobacco
crop of this section. in light measure
may be judged by figures which give the
present movement in cased goods from
local points. There is now being loaded
and shipped from the warehouses of
Fred Eckhardt and Bekkedal & Hazen,
at We5biy and Viroqua, their packing of
last year IS tobacco, which will require at
least one hundred freight cars to move
the same. which is now being shipped to
different manufacturing and jobbing
cities of the United States. Shipment
at this time is required in order that the
buyers have room in their houses for the
new crop, on which delivery has com
menced.
The first crop to be delivered at the
new Espeseth warehouse was made by
S. Hansen of Avalanche, last Saturday.
From an acre of land he harvested 10l5
pounds, for which he received 1115 cents
straight This is not large weight, but
as is we'll known the valley crops are
much thinner of leaf and of finer quail
ity. -Viroqua Censor.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACoUEs.

This evenings performance will be the last of the splendid vaudeville show that has been running at the Jacques this week, and it should at tract those who have not yet seen it. To follow on Monday afternoon Man ager Poli has secured for his headliner the great and only George Thatcher. known to showgoers as one of the best minstrel stars that the American stage has produced. It is not so many years ago that MT Thatcher visited us as the head of Thatcher, Primrose and Vests minstrels, and followers of min strelsy retain glowing memories of the fun he used to make in those days. In his peculiar style of talk Thatcher had no rival and since he gave up min- strelsy to embrace the more popular vaudeville he has always ranked as one of the most popular entertainers. 1t is pretty certain, therefore, that he Will prove a particularly popular head liner at the Jacques next week. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons. 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

 Tn one of the scenes of Mrs Jack, :" Alice Fischer goes through the motion of lariating a bison. For some time she did not know just how the lariat should be thrown-whether she ought to catch the animal by the horns or the feet. So, in order to have it from an authoritative source, she wrote a letter of inquiry to Buffalo Bill. Last week she received the following reply:
 Boise, Idaho. My Dear Miss Fischer:
 ssIt is hard to lariat buffalo by both horns. as long hair bounces the rope off. Consequently the 1ariat is thrown so as to go over the head and under the throat and between both horns. Yours truly, 9g3 Y
 w. F. CoDY.' Miss Fischer says she doesn't feel quite capable of following the instruc- tions to the letter, and simply throws the rope at the head.

Referring to the fact that simple ar bitration had twice been rendered to the coal barons and refused. the Pro gressiye Printer says: When the great masses of the people disastrously af, fected by industrial strikes will make an organized demand for legal, com pulsory arbitration they are going to. get it; and when they get it there will no longer be any need for organizers at $7 day and other high officials with big salaries; no emergency funds,' defense funds or strike assessments of any kind-for there will be no strikes, no lockouts, no boycotts. no trouble about union labels, and no need of eX- pensive street parades of the industrial hosts. All competent workers will be union members. All incompetents will be compelled to seek other employ ment more suited to their capacity. Unionism will be encouraged by em- ployers, who will themselves be or ganized into associations recognized by law, as the unions will be. Union dues will be reduced to such bare pit tance as will be needed for haIl rent, stationery and such sick and funeral benefits as may be desired. Whatever is just between man and man will be secured in a fair and peaceable way, without heavy losses unayoidably in- cured by the brute force processes now SC generally and sometimes neces sar1Iy employed. The injured third party to strike will get the most ser ious grievance of all connected. and there will be Industrial peace.'

The result of the benefit entertain ment given at Jacques opera house Sunday evening by the Striking Min CTS Glee Club and the American band under the auspices of the Central La- Dor union was as follows: Expenses, Glee club, $135; rent of opera house, $50; advertising, S4; telegrams and postage, S1.36; total, S19O.36; receipts, tickets sold by members, $194.25; sold at box office, S134.5O; box, $25; total, $353 50; balance sent to Secretary Wilson of the United Mine Workers union, .$163.14. Considering the fact that the Central Labor union had but four days to arrange for the entertain ment, and that the club had no paper of any description for advertising, this is a remarkably good showing. The amount sent Secretary Wilson does not represent the entire benefit to the Mine Workers union, as these nine men composing the club all have fam iles to care for, and were it not for these concerts alI-probably 35 people would be obliged to draw benefits from the union in order to live. The action of the American band in refunding the , money paid them for their services to aid their needy brother unionists has won for them much commentators
