Used for the Test-Threw. Good
Stream The Kind Of Mixture Used
One Tank Is Being Used While Other ls
Being Filled.

Shortly before O'Clock this after

test. The test was made by n
representative of: the Haywood
firm under the direction of
Chief w. G. Oomings, Fire Marshal
J. M. Glenn and Alderman W. T..

tory in every respect. About 80 feet
of the hose, which is little larger
than garden hose was let out. and the
contents of one of the two thirty FIVE
gallon tanks, which tho wagon carries,
discharged. The chemical mixture is
composed of bicarbonato Of soda ana
sulphric acid. The stream, had con-
siderable force and, when pointed up
wards, easily overtopped forty-foot
telegraph pole.
The wagon carries two tanks, one
of which is used ut time. While one
is being utilized, the mixture is bong
made in the other. Enough material
for two charges is carried on the
wagon, so that whom it goes to q fire
it carries four full charges.
A further advantage ia that. whom
the four charges are exhausted, there
is an attachment and pipes provided,
by means of which the hose can be
a tin ohal to a. fire nliD Or hvdraut

Tramps Kicked Down a Door
in the Jail and Escaped
Yesterday.
TWO SENT UP FROM HERE
One Had q Six Months Sentence -Unscrew-
ed the Bar in Cell No. II and Dropped to
Hall Leading to Cook House Kicked
the Door Down and were Soon at
Liberty.

New Brunwick, May 19:-Follow
ing in the footsteps of Sylvanus
Eggerton, who made his escape from
iail few weeks ago, four men who
had been committed to Jail as tramps
for long terms, walked out of the
pnpier- -mache lookup yesterday.
Their mode of action and their
route were exactly the Same as Egger-
ton employed when he became tired
of the Jail. Twisted bars. a drop to
a hallway by means of blankets and a
kick at the now famous wooden door
at the cook house and the men were
ut liberty to scamper over the sheds
into the street and run toward the
railroad.
The men who got away were as
follows:
John Lawrence, committed from
Metuchen, by Justice Moss, first ms
wire thief and then. on May IL, as n
tramp for. ninety days service in the
chain gang.
Edward Butler, committed from
Woodbridge. by Justice Wylie, OH
May 3, as q tramp.
John Kelly, committed from Perth
Amboy, on April 80, by Recorder
Pickersgill, for ninety DAYS. --
Terrence Mallen. committed from
Perth Amboy, on April 8, for six
months as tramp.
All of tho men had been committed
to the chain gang, but had not been
Mt work on the streets as yet, as the
chain gang thus far is figurative. At
six O'Clock they were turned loose i'll
the Jail corridors for breakfast. They
went up to cell No. IL, from which
many escapes have been made and
through the window Of which Egger-
ton escaped to the corridor.
The tramps made a wrench out OF a
teaspoon, flattenlng the bowl of it and
cutting square piece out of it which
would Just fit the bolts which held the
new bars i'll shape. The bolts had not
been riveted and the tramps had no
trouble in unscrewing the nuts and
removing these latest supports. Then
they slipped the iron strap from the
bottom of the bars to the top, which
left the sawed ends free. Those ends
wele easily bent up and an opening
plenty large enough for the men to
crawl through was mads.
The men dropped down into the
corridor leading into the cook house,
by means of ropo made of blankets.
They waited until tie cooks took
coffee into the Jail, then kick
knocked the wooden door Leading in
to the cook house across the floor and
the men were free
Nobody will be sorry to see tho
county lose four hungry tramps, but
the incident again shows how utterly
useless the Jail is as lookup. After
Eggerton's escape the Building Com
mittee of the Freeholders visited

FARMERS DEMAND THEIR Rights,

Resolved, That the state association
hereby unanimously places itself on re-
cord and pledges the support of the
rural districts Of this state in favor Of a
primary reform measure which will SCI
cure for the rural districts the privacy
of the Australian ballot system at all
primaries, and viii make certain the
criminal prosecution of every man who
shall attempt the corrupt use of money
either in nominations or elections.
This resolution was adopted by the
ANIMAL meeting OF the Michigan Asso-
citation Of Farmers clubs at Lansing,
Dec. 0.
While on the subject of money in
politics, it may as well be stated that q
campaign Of money distribution will
soon be commenced in the interest of
candidates who have nothing else TO
recommend them. The CENSOR cautions
every self-respeeting republican to place
their seal of condemnation on such
practices.

NEARLY HALF A CENTURY.

1hat's a long time, but it is the age
Of the CENSOR, lacking one year and
by this we convey the thought and fact
that the CENSOR, this week, enters upon
it's forty-ninth year of publication. Dur
ing all these years it has been practi-
cally under only three proprietorships-
Somerby, the founder, Nelson & Cssson
and the present publisher, the latter
having been at the head for nineteen
years, the longest period of the publish
ing trio, and If spared by Providence
and health, he hopes to remain with the
paper at least twenty five years to come.
But no matter who has future control
the paper will be strong il conducted
along lines approved by its readers and
the public Today, it is no boast to say
that no English weekly in Wisconsin
can show a larger, better or truer con-
stituency than the CENSOR. This envi-
able standard has been attained by a
knowledge on part OF the people that
the CENSOR will not be influenced or
swayed from the path of right and JUS
tice by the pleadings and threats of
bullying politicians who make politics a
business. While it has eyer stood for dig
nified and honest republican principles,
It's strong mission has been to give the
people local newspaper representative
OF Viroqua and every corner of Vernon
county. 1t has been conducted on ths
theory that it is not an enterprise oe-
pendent upon charity, but is as much a
necessary adjunct of well organized
society as are the schools, churches,
hotels, stores and shops We ain to
make it paper that the people want
and feel that in it they get their moneys
worth in real value.
The C~'EsoR will continue to be what
1t has /, in the past-better than it
has been, if experience and study to
avoid mistakes can make it so. It will
ever be the policy of the publisher to
represent Viroqua and Vernon county
interests first as against the rest of the
world. In fact it is a Vernon county
newspaper. 1t speaks for and works
for the interests Of the business and rep
resentative politics of it's home county;
not in a narrow, selfish way. but by all
legitimate means to promote the well
fare Of Vernon and it's every material
interest, 30 that when the golden ami
yerssry rolls about next January the
papers readers, one and all, will have
cause to exclaim well done faithful
We enter the new year with sanguine
expectations standing tsnaciously for
those things in local, state and national
that promise the greatest good
for all people-for that broad American
citizenship that every progressive news
paper should advocate. These declara-
tons we know our patrons and readers
viii heartily sanction
With only words of cheer and thoughts
Of kindness for every living creature, the
CENSOR starts out for the golden mile
