Barn Struck by Lightning

During the thunder storm last Friday
struck the COW barn on the farm of An
thony Jacobs in the west part of town,
while Mr.. Jacobs and his hired man were
milking. The bolt went into the corner
of the building over the stable, in which
straw is kept and followed post down
to the ground. The straw was set on fire
and only by the prompt and concerted
action of all hands, was the building
saved. Two window castings were torn
out in the stable, windows roken and
corner boards ripped off. In putting
out the fire milk was used until water
could be brought. Lightning also struck
tree about ten feet from the barn, the
two claps of thunder being so near to-
gether that they were just distinguish
able.

The Picnic at HolIandale.

The Review, Aug. 81: There wasn't
much doing until after dinner was
served. The crowd just visited and
listened 20 selections by the band.
After dinner the program was started
by the chairman, DR.. Crikelair, who
presented Father Barry, who spoke
for a short time and then gave way TO
Rev. James O'Keefe of Mineral Point,
who delivered an eloquent and power
full address, ending with fowery en-
coniums for favorite sons of this
section. He was frequently cheered.
Hon. M. j. Cleary of Blanchardvil lille
was introduced. He gave short
talk in his usual happy, optomistic
vein. Then the man of whom Senator
LaFollette said, Ibis record IN Con-
gress has been the freest from par
tisanship of any member from this
state, Congressman J. w. Murphy
of Platteville, was introduced. His
address was mastery and demon
strated that he is a brainy, impartial
man, and political foes and friends
alike were favorably impressed with
the sentiments he expressed.

NOT WASHBURN- CROSBY.
Makers of Gold Medal Flour Not
Concerned in the Minneapolis
ReceiYerShiD.

1t should be understood that the
Washburn-C Crosby Co., makers of
GOLD MEDAL FLOUR, are in no
way concerned with the recent Mime
apolis Touring mill receivership.
The slight similarity in names has led
to some confusion.
One need have no fear that the
GOLD MEDAL housewives, whose
pictures have adorned the magazines,
and newspapers, will cease to appear.
We shall see them the same as ever.
And the Washburn-Crosby Co. con-
tinues to be the largest milling con-
Germ in the world.
Therefore, while the receivership. in
question is most unfortunate, it does
not by any means concern all Mime
apolis -four mills. The Washburn-
Crosby Co., maker of the widely
advertised GOLD MEDAL FLOUR,
shipped 5000 cars last year more
than its nearest competitor. And its
fourishing still.
