some other boys west of the Nekoosa

shock to his parents, but all relatives

car passed over his little body in the
region of his chest. He was killed
instantly.
Robbie Hooper was eight years old
and the oldest OF two sons. He was a
strong robust boy full OF life and
ambition and we'll known and liked
by everybody. His parents warned
and always kept him away from the
railroad trains. fearful OF some &C

But the surprise party planned by
Mrs. e. II. Stoddard and friends fol
Mr.. and Mrs. John Steib, and carried
out last evening at their home, or
Oak street, was the genuine article
By eight O'Clock neighborS and
friends to the number of thirty-five
had Quitely gathered at the home OF
Prof. and Mrs. NJ. III. Jackson, only to
lind that their unsuspecting host
and hostess were out paying an
evening call. The party concluded
to take possession of the house, which
they did, and a telephone message
announcing a gentleman caller
started the Steib'S on their home
ward way. On the porch they were
met by DR.. Humphrey who asked if
any of the family were sick as he
had received message to come over
to the house Mr. Stelb incred-
ulously replied that they were
all we'll and had sent no such
message and then with all the as
surance of individual and absolute
ownership, he threw open the front
door and turned on the hall light. It
is pity that there was not flash
light artist on hand to stake" John,
''just as he was'' when he saw the
hall and parlor crowded with people.
He looked as though he had made a
mistake in his house number. His
inpromptu remarks on the occasion
were somewhat incOherent and it Is
perhaps as well for his reputation in
the use of choice and explicit English
that they were. While this part of
the performance was in progress, Nrs
Steib remained fixture on the front
walk, not knowing whether to adj
vance or retreat. But soon recover
ing from her surprise she proceeded
to vindicate her reputation as a
hostess by making everyone at home.
A number of games were played,
Fred Stamm and r. Fl. Stoddard, in
cidentally assisted by Mrs. Peterson
and the crowd in general, did few
acrobatic stunts, Rev. Peterson
favored the audience with some
choice selections on the tin whistle
aud then prizes were awarded for a
memory contests, in which the
participants were to write the names
of number of articles previously
seen on table. Luella Jackson and
Pearl Humphrey were tied for first
prize which by lot fell to Pearl;
while e. H. Stoddard proudly bore
away the BOBBY prize. OF course the
visitors had not overlooked the needs
of the inner man and bountiful
supper was served.
Before the party broke up Messrs.
Steib, Stamm, Stoddard and Humph-
reg gaze an up-to-date exhibition of a
New York orchestra rehearsal and
Prof. Jackson unwound few yards of
his unlimited supply of good stones.
Everyone had good time, but to the
wise and far-sighted ones there
seemed grave and almost alarming
grounds for apprehension that the
whole performance may have to be
repeated in the near future.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails. and when the air is
excluded the germ is rousad to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be deS-
troyed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain's

off the dance and the Walla Walla
people, who accompanied the band to
