Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1904-09-14

James Duffy of Center, a man of about
30 years of age, lost his life at Ham
pies Corners, trying to remove boy of
8 years of age from dangerous posi-
ton between a separator and water
wagon. Duffy belonged TO a threshinF
crew in the employ of Batzler Brothers,
who We're moving their apparatus along
the country road. Attached TO the trac-
ton engine, came the separator and then
the water wagon. Duffy was riding on
the former and noticed the lad run in
bet aeen the two and catch on the pole %
the wagon. Knowing the boy was in
danger, he crawled down over the rear
of the separator and as be was lifting
him out stumbled and the wheel of the
wagon ran over him, q eaking his skull.
He died instantly. He managed, how
ever, TO throw the child out Of danger
before he went down, and the lad escap-
ed without a scratch.

states that the climate in the present sea-

just now are not propitious for Ameri-

tons from 1000 young men for positions
in the district. and he has written TO
AL thar they had better wait until condi-
tons become more favorable
The climate is especially bad at this
season OF the year, and the sanitary CON

are scourging the country, and the Heath
rate is 80 per cent higher than that Of
New Orleans. which has the highest
death rate Of any city Of the United

while he was down there, and Chaeres
fever has ravaged the districts which
border on the river Of that name
The engineers working over the canal
force have 10 wade in mud over their

The work OF surveying is stll going on

Fully 100000 Persons in Our Vari
Gus Educational Institutions.

According to the bureau of education.
the school enrolment fol the year end
NJ June, 1902. was 11,4G00O0. This
IS the latest complete total available
but, according 10 the normal rate of in
crease, it must now be well over eigh-
tea millions. or this great total the
school children proper-those in the ele-
mentary grades of public and private
schools-augbered 164T9.177. Next in
order came the T3l, 100 secondary stu
dents in public and private high schools
IN academies and seminaries, III the pre-
paratory departments of universities and
colleges, and in the non-professional
classes in public and private normal
schools. The College boys and colegs
girls numbered 246,0G3-this total com
prising. in official language, all students
of higher education in universities and
colleges. professional and normal
schools"
The mind refuses mt first to grasp
the significance Of these great totals. but
few comparisons will help America 5
school enrolment exceeds by about a
million the combined population of Swift
zerland, Norway. Greece Bulgaria, Den
mark and Servia--all sovereign states.
The elementary children alone equal
the population of these six states
In 1902 the children in the public
schools cost Uncle Sam 1926, pos. 4G5. The
total value Of the property possessed by
the higher educational institutions was
4ll.20o,234 in that year. and their en-
dowment funds amounted to $lS5.94
GIGS, Besides the income from those
funds they received many millions in the
shape Of fees aud appropriations from
the federal and State governments and
from municipalities. 1t is safe to say
that $300,o00.000 year is paid ont
for education--a sum little less than the
combined outlay of Germany and Russia

leading down from the third floor already
wrapped in flames. When they turned
to the fire escapes they found they had
been torn away below the third floor,
and descent was impossible. Some jump
