JULY WILL BE A HOT MONTE.
Weather Forecasters State Month will be
Red Hot One.

Look out for heap of red hot scorch-
ing weather during Julyi The fore
casters have the dopeall fixed up and
will press the hot weather valve lust
as soon as the month opens. In fact
the month begins with hot wave which
will extend from the lst to the 4th
followed by more hot weather and pos
sible heavy storms of thunder and light
ming. The Sth and 9th will be fairly
pleasant followed by two days of cay
enne pepper weather. The 18th heavy
storm viii form over the lower Mis-
sissippi valley and will move north,
bringing heavy rains from the 18th to
14th. A little cool weather may be
looked for on the 18th and 10th and then
back to the bake oven. On the 18th
another violent storm may be looked
for and heavy rains the next two
days. Two days Of cool weather follow
and then the ice cream man may ex-
pect rushing business for a hot wave
which will sweep over the country on
the 9th and 2Sth. Violent storms will
mark the close of the month.

SURELY A BIG DAY is COMING.
virOqua Celebration will Furnish Amuse-
ments for Everybody. All the Time.

In few instances there has come to
the ears of the CENSOR a complaint
that charge is to be made at the fair
grounds on the afternoon of the Fourth.
We believe some explanation is due
the management of the celebration.
The band boys have provided free vaude-
vile attractions for the morning, more
by far than is seen at the usual cele-
bration. In the afternoon the ball
game, sham battle and other attractions
viii be charged for to aid in defrsying
the tremendous expense of the eele-
bratlOn. The baR game ..ioae is worth
the price of admission. 25 cents is to be
charged for adults, or a family ticket
can be purchased fer so cents.
Arrangement has been made for the
free sheltering of 200 teams of horses
at the grounds, which should be great
advantage to farmers coming here for
the day.
Again we say more is to be seen in
Viroqua on July Fourth, than was ever
seen at any celebration in this section
of the state, and all who come here for
the day will return home repaid ten
fold for the small admittanee charged
for the big entertainment in the after
noon alone, to say nothing about all
the free attractions to be seen on the
streets during the morning hours. You
will miss it if you miss it.

The tobacco news in other parts of
the state is summed up about thus by
the Edgerton Reporter:
Buy the close of the present week
probably better than tEso-thirds the
new crop will be transssss red to the fields
and well started, q most encouraging
condition. Growers are having very
little trouble in securing a good stand
and not much reselting is necessary.
The early set fields are considerably
ahead of the average condition at this
date, for all vegetation has taken on a
remarkable growth during the recent
warm spell. The outlook for crop
was seldom more promising for the time
of year.
The buying movement is slowly tap
ering off, as only occasional lots re-
main in growers hands now. Recent
sales are largely from packers and
mainly of a low grade order for the s.c-
count of the American Tobacco Co. A
few small packings have also been
transferred to them during the week
and possibly 100, 600 pounds of bundle
leaf from local warehouses.
The demand for cured leaf is improv-
ing and the sale of an Orfordville pack
ing Is reported at quite satisfactory fig
ures.
More than 100000 of insurance is
affected by decision of the Kentucky
courts which hold that insurance COM
panies are not liable for property de-
stroyed by might riders" in that state.
The companies claimed exemption un-
der clause of the policies that ex-
cepted losses sustained through 'riots
or insurrections" and the court held
their contention good. The tendency
of the ruling only makes the reign Of
terror more complete, as it robs the
people of protection and leaves the vic
tins wholly helpless. On the other
hand, if the courts held the insurance
companies liable, their only recourse
would be to cancel all insurance in the
infected districts and the property own
ers would then be equally helpless.

News of the Diamond

On Saturday and Sunday the White
Sox added two more victories to their
unbroken chain, taking double header
from the strong Galesville team. The
visitors had the best of the argument
in the beginning Of both games, but
the fierce smuggling of the Sox at last
proved too much for Galesville, and
their line of defense. GalesvilIe has a
aggregation of players that ordinarily
win, and have numerous victories to
their credit, but the Sox plainly show
superior stick work The fast fielding
of Kline, the left garden man for Gales
vile, was a feature in both games.
He smothered several line drives which
would be impossible work for ordinary
fielders. Following we give detail of
the games:

MERRY DEL Val To-.
QUIT HIGH OFFICE?
Severe Methods in Suppressing Mod
ernism Said TO Have Determined
Pope to Act.

Rome. Sept 30.-According to the
Avanti, Cardinal Merry del VAL papal
secretary of state, is about TO retire.
This step, it is asserted. is an outcome
of representations made to the vatican
by American and English prelates, but
particularly Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland. who objected TO
the secretary's severe measures against
modernism. According to the Avanti,
Cardinal Vannutelli received these
complaints in London at the time of
the eucharistic congress and transmit
ted them to the pope In the event of
Merry del Walls retirement he probably
will be succeeded by Cardinal Ram
polla, who formerly held this Office.
Rampolla's return to power would
mean a policy of dignified conciliation
with regard to France and an attitude
of greater reserve toward Italy.
