A CHARTER COMMISSION.

The matter of selecting a commits sion of business men and tax-payers to work out new city charter or amendments to the present one, for presentation to the next legislature is already being agitated. It is certain that something will have to be done. and there appears to be no other way Of doing it than through the legisla- ture. It has become painfully evident that the city cannot live on its ures- ent income. The income at the time of the adoption of the charter was sufficient, and it was then believed that any judicious extension of the city's boundaries would result in a

THE DOG WAS PRONOUNCED MAD
Lungard. the Man Bitten at Cashton. Sent
TO Chicago.

The mad dog scare went to fever
heat in the village last week. when it
was Known beyond a doubt that the
dc winch bit Lungard was suffering
wIon rabies. A portion of the animal
was sent away to be examined and
word was telegraphed back that he
certainly had suffered badly with hydro
phobi Mr.. Lungard left Saturday
evening", accompanied by VIM. Dyer,
for the Pasteur institute at Chicago,
with the hope of getting relief from
this affection. Mr.. Byer returned Mon
day morning and stated that the doc
tors there were of the opinion that
Lungard s chances for life were very
slim.
At a meeting, Friday evening, it was
deemed necessary to order all dogs shot
that do not wear muzzles and the re-
suit has been that several CANNES have
bit the dust and a good many more viii
likely meet the same fate. A number
of dogs that were bitten have been
killed and strict watch is being kept
over the others.
We are told that Monroe and Vernon
counties let Mr.. Lungard have $50 each
to help defray expenses for his Chicago
trip, and took notes against a fellow
who was indebted to Lungard The
village also furnished $50 in money. =

DEATH CLAIMS MANY VICTIMS
IDA C. HoNAKER

The past three years has been a
period of continued suffering for Mrs.
Ida G. Honaker of Liberty Pole. Ten
der and loving hands have during that
period done all that was in their power
to make the days and nights of physical
distress seem shorter and if possible
bring health again to the afflicted one.
Relief from pain came with death, last
Tuesday Ida G. Nelson was born at
Halls Branch, Crawford county, Feblu-
AIRY 2, 1878. She was the fifth child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Elk Nelson. She obtained
her education in the country schools.
When fifteen years old she came with
the family to Liberty Pole; there they
settled on large farm about one mile
east from the corners. She was mar
ried to Charles S. Honaker on March
6, 1901. Her sickness dates back to
the 10th of last September, three years
ago. Since ther she has been confined
to her bed and chair Shortly after the
commencement of her illness, at con-
sultation of noted physicians, it was
given out that she had at the most but
few weeks to live. But she rallied
and under the caretaking of low
ing hands she has lived, although for
the most in great suffering. 1t became
evident during the past four weeks that
she was failing and on Sunday last il
was noticeable that the end was near.
The end came Tuesday, December 4, at
2:l5. Mrs Honaker has.always been of
a religious turn of mind. During her
long illness her faith in Jesus Christ
and her hope of life eternal never left
her for a moment. She was prepared
and ready for the end. She leaves
many bereaved relatives, those bound
close by earthly ties as follows; The
husband, Charles S. Honaker; the faith
er and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Elk Nel-
son, and brothers and sisters, Thomas
of Retreat, Martin of Lincoln, Ne
braska, Mrs. Martha kier of Liberty
Pole, Edwin, at present attending the
university at Madison, Rhoda at the
home and Clarence attending school al
Viroqua.
The funeral will be held at the Lib
erty Pole church on Friday, December

Thankseiyine Dsy Observance.

1t was a remarkably quiet day in vi
roqua, business places being closed
most of the day. Family and neighbor-
hood gatherings were the order, and
good cheer and rejoicing were in evi-
dence.
In point of religious observance vi
roqua experienced an innovation, the
union services being held in the Metho-
dist church in the evening, preaching
by Rev. j. Z. Sarles.
The basket dance given by and for
the benefit of the city band at the
Opera house, was fairly well attended,
and the net receipts were about $35.
1t was most pleasant gathering. The
ladies' supper lunch baskets sold at
auction anywhere from fifty cents to
three dollars. The music provided by
the full band was all that could be de-
sired to please the dancers and spec
