DYNAMITE RILIs FARMER.
Young Sparta Man Mangled and Killed by ExpIo
slon.-House Wrecked

The Sparta Advertiser reports that
William Herring, who resided with his
sister on a farm three miles north of
that city, war instantly killed Wednes-
day morning by the explosion of a
quantity of dynamite which he was pre-
pairing to tsEe to his stone quarry for
the purpose of blasting rock. Mr.. Her
ring carried the explosive into the kitGh-
en- for the purpose of thawing it before
starting for the quarry. Just how the
explosion occurred ito one will ever know
but 1t is known that deceased had some
dynamite caps inside one of his mittens.
which were on his hands, and he was
just about to pick mp the dynamite
sticks when the explosion occurred.
Herring was killed instantly, his left
hand being blown off at the wrist, hole
torn in his left side above the heart and
the whole body frightfully mangled and
burned. His clothing was on fire when
assistance arrived. The house was al
most totally wrecked. Hattie Herring,
sister of the deceased, was in a small
room but six or eight feet from where
the explosion occurred, aud miraculous
" escaped uninjured. The first she re-
allied after the concussion she was out
side tbs house and was unable to tell
how she got there.

Hleks' Deeember Nesthef.

By the close of the first week in De-
cember, most parts of the country will
have felt the influence of the first storm
period for the month. Warmer days
will mark the first stages of this period,
during which the barometer will fall in
western sections, and from the 4th to
the 7th storms of rain, turning to snow
and winter gales, will pass from west to
east across the country. The regular
storm period, central on the 18th and ex
tending from the 18th to the Goth, viii
bring decided fall Of the barometer,
progressively from west to east. The
temperature will rise, winds will shift
to southerly and easterly, and more
storms of rain and snow will develop in
western parts on and touching the 18th.
During the 18th to 20th these storms
will pass over the country to the ATTAIN
tic. A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the 22nd and 23rd exactly at the
Winter Solstice. Don't be decoyed and
deceived by bright, warm days Take
our word for it, there is danger Of very
revere winter storms of sleet and snow
and blizzard, especially in the north and
west, between the Goth and 3fst of Dec
ember. They may not come, it is true,
but theindications are ten to one that
they will. Blocades of snow and de-
structive burdens of sleet, all winding
up with full-grown cold wave, are the
things to be feared and provided against
the last week of the year. Have care
for your poor defenceless live stock, and
don't wait until the sleet and blizzard
and snow are upon you.

FRIEND MUNSoN: I would ask the
privilege of your columns to communi-
cate with my friends and neighbors in
good old Vernon. took the stage to
Viola November "a, and should have
started from Viola at 80 down the rag
ing kickapoo Valley road, but lid not
until nearly five in the afternoon, and
arrived at Wauzeka after 9. The hotel
got supper at 1890 for nine men besides
myself. The next morning at $50 took
the train for Woodman, about four
miles, and then took the little packet
train on the narrow gauge railway to
Fennimore, distances of II miles and
found my boys packing mp to move to
Milwaukee. Staying there two days
took the train for the west, not certain
whether we would get across the Father
or Waters or not, beca use it had been
blockaded by ice the pontoon bridge
being swung open to let the floating ice
through and could not be shut up for
nearly two days, but it was alright then
and | went on my Journey across the
beautiful prairie straight west from
McGregor, with splendid little towns
very near each other, / will be safe in
saying from five to seven miles on the
average, and arrived at the city of Spen-
Ger about 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon.
1t Is beautiful city. Going north from
there about Is miles landed in Milford,
the most beautiful little city of them all,
being on high ground. This part of 10
wa is hign and dry, within two miles of
Lake Okoboji and Spirit Lake, great
summer resort with hundreds of cot
tages all around the lakes. Thousands
of people spend the summer there. Six
thousand dollars was expended this sum-
mer for drlveways. Electric lights are
all along the shore, and there are steam
boats. launches, skiffs, all kind of amuse-
ments and in fact everything that goes
to make up noted GUNNER resort. Lake
Okoboji has a 81, 900 monument, erected
in memory of the victims of horrible
Indian massacre about 1S47 An old
lady lives in cottage nearby, who was
the sole survivor Enclosed in lattice
work is a log cabin which was the only
building left Graves of the victims
are marked by tombstones made of
rocks. Across the lake, on Manhattan
beach, is hotel costing about $12, ,000
Here are many points and things of in
terest. Two men skating on Spirit Lake
last Saturday afternoon broke through
the ice and were drowned. The bodies
were recovered Sunday morning OF
course it is great resort for skating
and ice boats this time of the year, bet
ter than in the summer. Thought I
would tell people, and especially the
youth of Viroqua, for they know little
OF these pleasures
Last Sunday / went to church and
while there blizzard came up and it
showed and blowed for all there was
out. The old settlers here said it was
little summer breeze. but should call
it blizzard in old Wisconsin. Go south
to st. Louis week from next Monday.
Want to get away before the next sum-
mer breeze comes along, You will hear
from me again soon. w. w. DUNLAP.

Curtailed Train Service.

Commencing last Friday, train SER
vice on the Viroqua branch road was
reduced to two trains a day each way,
and the schedules of old days are very
closely resorted to. The passenger train
arrives in Viroqua at S:15 in the morn
ing, returning north as freight and
accommodation, leaving here 1926, ar
irving in Sparta in season to connect
with the east bound passenger. Re-
turning the freight arrives in Viroqua
at 4:40 in the afternoon. The north
bound passenger leaves at 6:l5, con-
Meeting with the fast mail train aast
The La Crosse connections as had the
past year, are done away with. The
railroad officials argue that these trains
have never paid and that they were not
warranted in their continuation. Many
hearts are made to bleed among the
travelling men, our local hotel interests
and the travelling public.

program of exercises was presented, OPP

were presented in creditable manner.
The debate, Resolved, that the world
owes more to navigation than to rail-
ways" was interestingly discussed by
Emmett Mahoney and Rob Tainter for
the affirmative, Sven Skaaland and Ma
than Hayes for the negative. The de-
cision was two TO one for the affirma-
tive. The city band enlivened the oc-

applauded. Citizens Should encourage
