Milton at about 5 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. While switching there he fell I'm
der the train and car wheels passed over
the limb. DR.. j. F. Pember had been
summoned and cared for the man. He
found compound comminuted fracture
of the leg, nearly two thirds of the dis
lance between the ankle and the knee
being crushed The broken bones pro-
truded through the flesh and ten pieces
were removed. One was two and a half
inches in length. Despite this condition
the circulation of blood remained good
and the physician hopes to save the leg,
though it will be short. Schmidt is "a

How aNo License, works in stoughton.

How "No License Works in Stoughton.
A staff correspondent OF the Madison
Journal has been investigating the work
| lngs OF no license town at Stoughton
and summarizes the report in the fol-
lowing:
As it is operated at the present time,
Stoughton's no-license system of saloons
is farce. 1t Is capital joke from the
little depot to the end of Main street. It
is full of holes big enough to drive the
whole municipality through without any
danger OF touching either side. 1t is
nothing.
One business man estimates that the
no.license system in Stoughton decreases
the business of the merchants at least
$4,000 year. Many go to Edgerton
and Madison to spend money and then
return home broke. The Saturday even
ing trains to Edgerton usually take from
twenty five to fifty people from Slough
ton to the famous tobacco town. There
IS also some discomfort because of higher
taxes, due to the fact that Stoughton is
40 longer getting license money, amount
ing to several thousands of dollars, from
number of saloons. The no-license
question will certainly be revived next
spring. If license carries, movement
will be launched to raise the license fee
from $500 to $1,000. The situation in
Stoughton is simply this: Stoughton
voted for no-license, but there is no
trouble in getting drink. Mayor Beck
er said he felt the number of young
DRINKS has been decreased, but also
said he felt that business had been in
jured somewhat. Foreman HALEY of the
Moline Plow company, who has hun
dreds of men under his direction, said
the no-license system has been failure
and that men are drinking as much as
ever, ii not more, in Stoughton. G.. G..
Carver, assistant manager of the Moline
Plow company, agreed with Mr.. HALEY.
F. j. Yea, president and general man
ager of the Stoughton Wagon company,
which employs about $50 men, said the
no license has improved conditions, and
that there is less drunkenness among
the working class in Stoughton. He de-
clared no-license would carry again next
spring. From the standpoint of the
Stoughton merchant no-license has
proved failure and is hurting business
and Stoughton. From the standpoint
of the prohibition, no license stacks up
about the same as the primary election

Tobacco Notes


M. +. Greene & Sons of GAINESVILLE re-
ceived here Thursday.
Will Mcintosh is receiving tobacco in
the northern growing sections this week.
From II acres Ole Wethal delivered to
Roe & Brictson at Stoughton this week
tobacco crop that brought him $38l2.42.
The best yield so far reported of the
1906 crop comes from the town of Ply
mouth, this county. Mr.. Swain, tenant
on G.. E. Matthias farm near Alton, de-
livered 6410 pounds from 3 acres to T. O..
Rene at Orfordville, which at Is cents
straight brought him S96l.50, an average
of S32O.50 per acre.
Contractor Mccarthy of Madison and
Manager Jefferson of the American CT
gar Co. were in town last week taking
measurements for an addition which it
is designed to have made to the sorting
room building of the a. G. Co.'S plant in
this city. Work, however, will not be
started until next spring.
Thos Madden brought to our Office
yesterday Il sample of the largest growth
of the 'O6 crop yet seen. The leaves
measure So inches in length and the
texture fine and silky. 1t came from a
2-acre crop grown by Espeth Bros. at
Black Earth, who delivered 1900 lbs. for
each acre The crop was set 81 in. by l
foot, hence the large yield.

At the Opera House.

In Offering Miss Courtenay Morgan in
the Bernhardt success, "a Woman OF
Mystery" Mgrs. Walters g. Way feel
that they have filled gap that has long
been open. Each year the American
theater goers have been asking for some
thing better. This has been proven by
the steady decline of the So called melo-
drama, or what is known professionally
as ''the thriller" The public is no long
or satisfied in watching mediocre COM
pany struggling through series of
thrilling situations where the revolver,
dirk and club play conspicuous part;
but they want good, wholesome drama,
true to nature and not distorted by un-
natural situations. This they have in
"a Woman of Mystery" 1t is story of
a mother fighting for her son, to remove
the stigma from his life placed there by
her own actions. The scenes are placed
in and around the little village of Mon
tata, France, and range from the beauti-
full garden of NJ Lecoure's to the solemn
walls of the convent.
This is the second of the Bernhardt
roles for Miss Morgan to play, as she is
the only one who has played the Bern
hardt version of Camille in this country
You will remember her success in this
role, but in the part of Ayesha she has
reached the zenith of her theatrical ca
reer. The mounting which Mgrs. Wal
tiers & Way have given the play is posi-
lively the most gorgeous and complete
ever attempted by company playing
one night stands, not so much as table
or chair belonging to the local theater
being used.

Henry Sanford, who has been delv-
ing into the musty records of the circuit
court at GAINESVILLE for several weeks,
gathering statistical information for the
department of commerce and labor, re-
ports that 1881 divorces have been
granted in Rock county during the past
20 years.
Raising chickens in zero weather is
not the most pleasant task to be under
taken, nor is it conducive to the longiy-
ity of the fowl. And yet we now and
then hear of clucking old hen stepping
proudly from the nest with brood of
young chickens in mid-winter. But she
is not wise hen and it would hardly
seem possible that the little chicks would
look good to her. One of this sort stole
a nest in Mont Painters barn along IN
January and after few weeks of faith
full setting she clucked the advent Of
one lone chick last Monday morning.
Mrs. Painter is busy knitting socks for
the wee one and otherwise preparing it
to safely weather the stormy blasts due
in February and March. Deponent
saith not whether the young chick is of
the rooster or pullet persuasion.
