The Man With a Crouch.

Nothing seems to soothe the palate.
Nothing seems to hit the spot.
And fellow has his mallet
Out for weather cold or hot.
Nothing strikes the fancy jaded;
Meals seem made of low grade junkS
Sun and moon and stars seem faded
When a man is feeling punk.
Dishes that were once delightful
Now seem hardly fit to taste,
So, in language curt and spitcful.
Is the waiter called in haste
To come out and get the chewing
And to take the order back,
For it's clear there's nothing doing
When man is out of whack.
Fen the ladies, bless their features,
Which, Of course, includes their eyes,
Do not seem such heavenly creatures,
Beautiful and good and wise.
For man is sorely tempted
Far to fee and take his trunk,
From all female ties exempted,
When a fellows feeling punk.
And the woman wise and knowing
Gladly leaves the man alone
When it's that kind Of a showing,
Like a growler at bone
Goes away and let's him shrivel
With his bowl and pipe and pouch
For there's no use being civil
When & man has got a crouch.

TO BUILD.
DoWie Will Keep Idle Laborers
at Zion City Working on New
Temple This Winter.
OPERATIONS BEGIN NOV. LIST.

While business in Zion City's manu-
featuring Establishments may be dull
this winter and the factories are even
now running but part forces, Apostle
Dowie has planned TO give ali his peo-
pie employment for the winter by
starting work on his mammoth temple
to cost 5000, ZOO and capable of seating
about 10, 1000 persons.
In fact, it is announced that work
on the enormous structure is to start
with big force the first of the COM
ing month and that it will be rushed
all during the winter months.
Even now gangs of men are getting
gravel from the lake shore into huge
piles, to be used in the construction
of the temple, which it is expected
will eclipse anything of the kind ever
built in the United States.
The original plans of DR.. Dowie
have been changed. He had planned
to build steel structure but because
of the expense and belief that it
would be insecure to carry out the
plans as he had intended by using,
steel, it is now announced by the
apostle officially that cement, gravel
and stone and considerable marble is
to be used instead.
One of the features of the temple
will be tower which will rise some
$50 feet above the building. The site
of the temple is to be just northeast
of the present Shiloh tabernacle.
It is expected that by putting ali of
the men available on the work of
building the temple, that it can be
completed in about year and a half.

RUMOR IS CONFIRMED
Report That County Superinten-
dent Taylor Would Resign
Proves to be True
MANY REGRET TO SEE HIM co

A letter was received in this city
today from Geo. Taylor, who is at
Madison, that he has resigned his Of
fee as county superintendent. He
is at present studying law in the law
school of the University of Wisconsin,
and is greatly interested in his work.
It will be learned with regret by
everyone that this popular young Of
fee holder is no longer to serve the
county. In the past years he has
been faithful worker and has accom-
p1ished many reforms in the office of
the superintendent. Under his skill
fnl guidance the schools in the county
have materially increased in their
size and accomplishments.
Among the many things accom-
p1ished by the superintendent are the
establishment of High school at
Wi1mot, the installation of four graded
schools receiveng state support; one
at Salem, two in Pleasant Prairie and
one at Trevor; this last being a new
school building now under construc-
ton. He has paid particular atten-
ton to the raising of the teachers
salaries throughout the county and
has established a system of teachers
reports and records, by which his Of
fee is kept informed of the work of
the teachers and the standing Of the
scholars. He has also added an office
to the department in the county build
ing, practically at his own expense.
Mr.. Tay1or's many friends wish
him the greatest success in his new
calling. His Office will be filled by
appointment by the state superinten-
dent, though as yet no one has been
mentioned for the position.

Box Car Loaded With Brick for
the Simmons Mfg. Company
Plunges Through Barn
BARN AT THE END OF TRACK
Tears a Big Hole Through the Side of
the Structure and Knocks Horse
Out of It's Stall.

Thursday just at noon, at the Sim
mons Manufacturing Company plant,
at the foot of Main street, the switch
men of the Northwestern Railway
became rather strenuous in their eff
fort to place a car of brick near the
stack. The Northwestern railroad
was delivering a box car load of
bricks to be used by the Simmons
Company, ca their new stack. For
this purpose a side track had been
constructed running along side the
stack with it's terminal at the side of
the barn used by the company for it's
work horses. The track is trife up
grade at this point and the crew had
difficulty in placing the car. Mr..
Simmons, who was standing near the
place saw that they could not force
the car up the grade and offered the
suggestion that they take longer
start and let the momentum help
them.
In compliance with this suggestion
the engine backed down the track
for some distance and took a flying
start at the grade. Up came the bricks
and through the overzea1ousness of
the crew they couldn't be stopped
and sailed along through space over
the end of the track and hit the barn
with force that shook that building
to it's foundations, and brought peo-
pie running from every direction.
With a crash and a crack1e the heavy
car tore through the side of the build
ing and out through one of the stalls.
A patient horse, who was quietly eat
ing his noon meal, was knocked out
of his stall and landed in the stall
of his team mate across the barn
floor. There was no one injured and
the accident will probably cost the
railroad company about SIS.

FALL RUSH BEGINS.
Lake Season Promises to End PrOfita-

Conditions in the lumber trade on
the great lakes are an indi ca ton that
IN one branch, at least, the autumn
rush is on at last The demand for
schooners and small steamers toscar-
ry lumber has become so great during
the last few days that shippers are
finding it impossible to get boats to
move the material they have on hand
to go forward at once. Practically
every shipping port on the 1akea is
calling for boats, and in each instance
the association rate is offered on car
goes of all descriptions.
AS yet there have been no premiums
paid, but vesse1men are becoming eau
tious about chartering until they
have received the best bids, and un-
der the circumstances it looks as if
another week or ten days may find
the carrying charges substantially
higher.
A similar condition is said to pre-
vail in the demand for boats of the
larger type, which ply between Lake
Superior ports and Chicago and the
lower lakes. They are receiving So. so
