THE vIRO0UA ASSEMBLY
Beard OF Managers of Viroqua Camp
Meeting Association Now Work Un-
der Above cacliOn.

That is the name under which the
board of managers of the Viroqua
Camp Meeting association will york
this summer and under which it is hop
ed the, future meetings held in the
beautiful park within the limits of our
city viii take on new life, awaken new
interest, attract large crowds and ac-
complish great mission.
For many years the camp meeting,
instituted by Rev. George Nuzum, at
tracted large crowds and accomplished
great deal of good, but for several
seasons the attendance has been stead
lily diminishing and the old camp meet
ing spirit, so potent in its day, seems
to have lost its hold upon the people
AT the session last August, the direct
Ors authorized the president, Rev. W.
ii. Vance, to prepare and present a
plan for their consideration that would
be broader in its scope and meet the need
of the day. Several plans have been con-
sidered, but the assembly idea was
adopted at recent meeting and seems
to have met with general favor.
The assembly win include all the an
nual conventions of religious charac-
ter usually held by the members of the
Methodist Episcopal church of the La
Crosse district. 1t viii begin, Friday,
June q, and close, Sunday evening,
June 80. The programme viii provide
for the presentation of all the lines of
religious work in the district and be
interspersed with lectures and enter
tainments of semi-religious character
The full details have not yet been work
ed out, but we can assure our readers
that the programme win be one that
we all may thoroughly enjoy.
The new order of things has met with
hearty approval among the churches
and from present indications very
large attendance may be expected.
Several of the most prominent speakers
of the church have already been secur-
ed and others are being negotiated
with. Those now secured are w.
F. Anderson. ID. d., of New York, r.
j. Cooke, d. d., of CINCINNATI, George
Elliott, d. D., of Detroit, E. L. Eaton,
ID. D., of Madison, and Homer Stuntz,
d. d., of Manila. In addition to these
there will be some of the most promi-
nent workers of the church in the state
TO assist Within few weeks the full
programme viii be announced. Much
of the success of this first assembly
will depend upon the attitude of the
people of this city and we are sure that
in this respect Viroqua will not be
found wanting.

FINALLY RousED UP UNCLE.
How a Crowd Of Villagers Stirred the
Sage Of the Cracker Barrel.

There was the usual crowd OF vii
layers sitting on the postoffice steps
waiting for the mail to be distrib-
uted, and among them was Uncle
John. He had joined the sitters with
out saying word, and at the end OF
fifteen minutes one of the men winked
at the crowd and said:
"Well, Uncle John, have you heard
about the big earthquake in Vermont,
with 10000 people killed."
Uncle John looked at him in
weary way and shook his head.
And the cyclone in Connecticut yes
terday and 500 houses blowndown?"
continued the man.
Uncle John yawned and was not
the least interested.
"The Ohio river rose 200 feet of
sudden the other day and carried the
city of Cincinnati down stream. Tens
of thousands of people lost their lives
Any of your relatives down there,
Uncle John?"
The old man slowly shook his head
and reached down to pick up silver
and pick his teeth with it.
"And the whole state of Pennsyl-
vania is caving in," said the joker,
"and by tomorrow there will be a
great lake where 100000 or 100000
people have lived"
Uncle John took the news without
a word. In fact, he yawned and
stretched over it.
by thunder, but there goes a rat
under that pile of lumber across the
street." exclaimed the joker as he
rose up. Say, you fellers-"
But he got no further. Uncle John
was across the street and had a club
in his hand, and within the next ten
minutes he had done a half days
work tearing down the pile to get at
the rat He had been aroused at
last.-Kansas City Journal.

Board
Tho order contained in the above
not being obeyed the unions to whorl
it was issued We're suspended by the
board
At the beginning of the trouble the
Brooklyn unions, Nos. 55, 50 and 140.
refused to take part in the strike.
Later these unions reconsidered their
former decision and joined the strike.
and on July 20 the general executive
board issue dan order similar to the
one previously served upon the four
New York unions, but which gave the
Brooklyn unions until July % to re-
turn to work, upon penalty of sus-
pension AS in the New York cases
with the orders of the general execu-
tive board, and were by that body
suspended from membership in the
United Garment Workers of America
Then local union Is, Of Browns
vile, and % of Newark went out in
sympathy and violated their agree
ments, and were in turn also sus-
pended.
The United Hebrew Trades central
body is backing up the strikers, and
there is some talk of crgaSiZing :.
new garment makers general unto
to be composed of the suspended
locals. Such move will result ia
bringing the American Federation OF
Labor into the fight, with the prob
able result that all local unions hold
ing charters under American Fedora
ton of Labor unions will be ordere
to withdraw from the United Hebrew
Trades.
After the locals were suspended
and were out on strike for two weeks
hundreds of members, in fact whole
shops, obeyed the order and returned
to work, and applied for reinstatement
and now the Garment Workers will
reorganiZe all the suspended locals.
and it will be lesson to them dear
ly learned.
