DEATH AND INJURY BY GUNS
Joseph Benn. Well known Citizen Of
Viola. Goes Suddenly.

Viola community mourns the death of
a good citizen, an upright man Mr.
Joseph Benn, who for many wears lived
near Kiekapoo Center. The Intelli-
gencer tells of the awful tragedy thus:
Joseph Benn is dead. He was killed
this (Thursday) morning, by the dis
charge of shot gun in his own hands,
The terrible tragedy occurred about
$50 and he was the only one in the
house that was out of bed He had
got up and dressed for work, being en-
ployed in the excelsior mill, and had
built fire in the cook stove. His wife
had told him the night before to kill a
couple of chickens for her in the morn
ing before he went to work and she
thinks he went to get the shotgun to
shoot them with and in pulling it from
the corner behind the cupboard that it
was accidentally discharged, as he had
fallen in the doorway near where the
gun stood The whole top of his head
was blown away. When the family
heard the report they rushed down only
to find a blood curdling scene. The
scenes that followed were heart rend-
ing. May the sheltering hand of a
just Sod protect and comfort the widow
and orphans who were so suddenly rob-
bed of husband and father The de-
ceased was so years of age and was
preparing to move to Lone Rock where
he had recently closed a deal for a
farm.

RebekahS Celebrate.

Last Friday evening members of
Regina Lodge No. 28 celebrated the
fifty-sixth anniversary of the founding
of the Rebekah degree. The degree
was founded in 1851. by the adoption of
a minority report of a committee of
which Schuyler Colfax, a former vice
president of the United States, was a
member, The other two members of
the committee reported unfavorably,
but Mr.. Colfax prevailed upon the
grand lodge to adopt his minority re-
port. The lectures and other work of
the degree were written by Schuyler
Colfax. The order has grown in num-
bers until it now has a membership of
over $50, 900 and of late has been grow
ing at an average of about 25, 900 new
members each year. The Rebekahs of
Viroqua were organized in 1893 and
have membership now of about $50.
The program rendered was the fol-
lowing: America, i'm which all Joined
in singing; an instrumental duet by
Mrs. ID. o. Mahoney and Miss Nellie
Mahoney; Miss Lucy Dawson, the first
noble grand, read a paper recounting
the history of the order; Mrs. Peter
Oftedahl sang a solo; recitation by Mrs.
Chris Peterson: paper, Deborah, +" by
Mrs. cd Wiganowsky; closing with

lated on its success.

TO BUSINESS MEN OF VERNON COUNTY.

This is the season when there should
be liberal advertising of their business
If they desire to secure the heavy fall
trade that is certain to be had this sea-
son. No such advertising is to be had
in western Wisconsin as the CENSOR
affords. At no time in the history of
the paper has more unsolicited cash
subscribers been added in the same
length of time than during the past
month. The CENSOR has a list now
numbering fully 5000, equivalent to at
least l6. readers. ii is an advertis-
ing medium unsurpassed. We prefer
that Viroqua and dealers in the sur
rounding villages, use It's columns in
preference to foreign or city merchants.
Now is the time to tell patrons what
you have for them? The CENst would
also remind its patrons that ii is pre-
pared to do all varieties of first-class
commercial job printing. A free no

VERNON FAIR MEETS WITH SUCCESS.
Weather Man Puts Up Bluff But Sunshine Prevails all Department.
are of High Order Entry of HOses Not Large but Fast Free
Attractions Numerous and Good Time For ALL

Another fair has passed. No event
of the year is so generally looked for
ward to as the annual county fair
where farmers, tradesmen, breeders,
dairymen, gardeners, hOuseholders. all
come together to compare notes of the
seasons S yields, the fruits of the toll of
industry, science and art. 1t requires
much of human effort and foresight to
manage a creditable county or district
fair, and when weather conditions
arise to check the efforts of those in
charge of matters and the responsible
ty that must lie on a few, the disap-
pointment and anxiety is not easy to
bear. The Vernon county fair, for its
fifty-first trial, was scheduled for the
greatest event in the society's history.
Bad weather intervened. and although
it rained on four days of the week. the
fair may literally be termed success.
And it is remarkable that with so many
stormy nights and days there was so
little of discomfort ON the grounds. in
the buildings and on the race course.
The inclement weather forced extension
of fair through Saturday. and slated
programs were therefore necessarily
delayed day each. Notwithstanding
liiS Ddu FOduS anu dnldNOFdDte weather
much of the time attendance was as
large as m'"f u expected, four thous-
and prob aching the limit ON Fri
day. In MT departments the show
compared favorably with past years,
while there were betterments in some
respects.
RACING EVENTS.
No fair the writer has attended or
read of this season has been able to Sc
cure a large field of race horses, num-
erous OF the places having SO limited
number that some races have not been
called. Viroqua's field of horses was
not large, but there were some fast and
good animals in the bunch, the lowest
record made being 219l, which is good
considering the track condition and
coolness of the weather Most of the
races-were warmly contested and prov
ed exciting features. Wind and chill
are not conducive to fast racing, hence
we say there is cause for congratulation
that the different classes We're well
contested with fairly good records.
Following is the race program and
results:

In this department there were about
one hundred coops, representing most
of the varieties of feathered tribe.
Hugh Porter, superintendent, said the
exhibit was somewhat lighter than usu-
al because premiums had been reduced,
the game fanciers considering it did not
pay them to make extensive shows.
