Jim Arnold Ha. Strsnse Amlietion.

Druggist w. S. Arnold is suffering
from peculiar although not rare aifliction.
He has what is termed paralysis of the
seventh nerve, in consequence OF which
one side of his face is absolutely void
of feeling and the organs of sight,
hearing, smell, etc, on that side are
beyond his control. A part of the time
he has suffered considerable pain. In
many cases of this kind the effect is
only temporary and his many friends
hope that he may speedily recoTeT from
it. - Mondovi Herald

Child browns In Wash Tub.

A tub of rain water at the corner of
the farm home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
Roudebush, in the town of Sylvan, was
the cause of the death of their little
eighteen months old daughter. The
little tot was at play about the house
and yard as usual and not responding
to the mothers call a hasty search re
vealed the fact that she had fallen head
foremost into the tub of water. Physi-
clans were hastily summoned and every
effort possible made to resuscitate her,
but of no avail. Readstown Tribune.

and last Saturday and Sunday trimmed
up the team of that city in two games,
the scores being 2 TO and 2 to 4. Ball

the first game, and ''south paw" from
the La Crosse league pitched Sunday.
Joe's Viroqua team played Westby-
Cashton team on the local grounds Sun

visitors had Joe's bunch in the hole

found Westby's pitcher for a basket
full of hits and made 10 circles around
the path making the count Ia to 6.
They go to La Fargo next Sunday for
their second game of the season.
The Viroqua high school team de-
feated Sparta Saturday in a pretty con-
est at the fair grounds. Sparta took

runs during the game. Rabbit pitched
in splendid form and worked out OF

THE GOING OF THREE WokTHIEs.


true saying that death loves a shining
mark. The death of three worthy
men well-known to the people of Yer
non county, especially touches the
heart of the writer.
Hon. John Stevenson, the old war
rior, sturdy man, upright christian,
considerate father and husband, faith
full and devoted friend, whose mortal
remains were brought from an adjoin-
ing state and laid to rest in the vicinity
where his early and mature days were
passed, was long factor in the better
life of Vernon county citizenship. 1t is
fitting that his remains be deposited
where the friends of his active manhood
days may frequently linger to drop a
tear and scatter fresh garlands above
the sward that covers his form. His
was manly, just and noble character.
Who will not remember Hon. Will
liam M. Kingston with kindly and fra
ternal regard? A teacher of the youth,
believer in and doer of the precious,
elevating deeds on earth. Doubtless
deaCh was welcome relief to the long
and patient sufferer, and that he enjoys
| the higher rewards that awaits the Just
and true. His was life struggle amid
adversity, but he acquitted himself al
ways as one endowed with prophetic
vision. May he rest IN peace.
Thirty-two years of personal and
business acquaintance with DIR. Frank
B. Brewer was rare privilege. His
visits to Viroqua and all parts of Wis
consin were hailed with delight by the
afflicted and those who knew his strong
characteristics. AS professional man
he did noble work for suffering hu-
manity, and not infrequently without
financial reward. His untmely death
came suddenly while in the performance
of his chosen life work. DIR. Brewer
was a seif-made man, one possessing
rare judgment, an advisor worthy to
be listened to. He was called at the
age of seventy-seven, and all too soon.

will now redistrict the city for voting
purposes in order properly to equalize
the number OF voters in the various
wards. The First Third ard Fourth
wards were considerably enlareed by
the ennexation of property on the east
and west ends of the city Friday even
