Fort Atkinson.


w d Hoard was reelected president
of the Wisconsin Good Roads associa-
ton at the convention in Milwaukee last
week.
William Lempke met with severe ac
cident last Friday while saving a board
on circular saw at his wood working
shop on Whitewater Ave His attention
was called away for a second and the
thumb and fore finger accidentally came
in contact with the saw, cutting off the
finger at the second joint end badly
mangling the thumb.
Fort Atkinson is becoming quite a
center for the frog industry. Several
boys and men have made lucrative
business the past summer OF catching
live frogs, making daily shipments to
Chicago and Milwaukee commission
houses. Many thousands have been
shipped out of town but the evening
"bull frog chorus is as musical as ever.
The greater comfort of the house
which is built OF cement blocks espec-
tally in extreme hot weather was shown
very clearly in the raging heat that came
in July. The house of Mr. and Mrs An
tone Haumerson on Sherman Ave main
tanned temperature of 20 degrees lower
than that of the neighboring houses. 1t
is said they will prove correspondingly
| warmer in extreme cold weather The
reason for all this is seen in the fact that
the walls are constructed with several
dead air spaces, thus insuring an equa-
BILE temperature within the rooms at
about 70 degrees. This is an interesting
fact to know.

The tobacco harvest is now completed
and the early housed crops are nearly
ready to be taken from the poles. That
means bundling and selling at profit
able, equitable price.
The Hardw local A S of e will meet
in the Herrick school house Monday eve,
Sept %, ats o'clock. Everybody come
and join in the movement.
The tobacco market will not be worked
much this fall unless the tobacco trust
gets after the crop in general, and the
prediction is that they will lie low in the
grass with their hooks and lines ex-
tended and when sucker comes along
they will catch him going or coming.
Politics lie low here-there is no rattle
from the political platform, but groan

A CURE FOR sCIATICA.

"Some years ago, while STOPPING
over, was taken with sciatica in my
left hip, from which was laid up,
helpless, for over six weeks" writes
Mrs. julius Scott, Of 1OS25 Colum-
bia avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. II
could not lie on my left side, and my
left leg was swollen and became so
much shorter that had to have five
lifts put on my left shoe.
Every winter for a number Of
years I was laid uR in this way and
suffered excruciatihg pain. l tried
everything and all the consolation
got from people was that sciatica
could not be cured.
after trying everything else, as q
last resort got a dollar bottle Of
Sloan's Liniment and was amazed
when found that 1t gave me relief.
I used a second bottle and the swell
ling went out of my leg and 1t was
only necessary for me to use part of
the third bottle.
"Sloan's Liniment has certainly
done wonders for me, and If you wish
to refer to me you can do so"

Hanged for Chopping Wife to Death.

Sparta, Ga, May 16.-Porter
Cooper, a negro, yesterday at noon
paid the penalty for the murder of
his wife.
The crime which this negro COM
mitted was one Of great brutality.
On the night cf the 22d of last March
the negro with an axe murdered his
wife, afterwards cut her body in
three pieces, placed the different sec
tions in sacks and went and buried
them in holes dug In the ground not
far away. Returning to his home he
set fire to his house and burned it to
the ground in order to hide the traces
of blood.
The Superior Court OF Hancock
county was In session at the time the
crime was committed. He was
brought here, tried and sentenced to
be hanged during the same week.
The execution was frst fixed for
the early part Of April, but the Gov
ernor granted respite, in order that
the question of the negro's sanity
might be passed upon. The case was
put before the prison commission, but
they failed to make any recommends
ton, and as the limit Of the respite
was reached yesterday, the execution
took place.

far out along the track, one dark
night, wondering how many more
trips he would make before his good

Pwere more than 1000 old soldiers

This happened in 1890, and Mr..
Seaver was hailed as hero all over

the engineer, modestly. "It was
