The youngest daughter of Mrs Carl
II. Weik had fall several weeks ago
lnjuring her arm. 1t was thought
to be only bruiSe, so no more atten-
ton was paid to it. But last Friday the
arm began to swell and upon examina-
ton by doctor it was found that a
bone had been broken The fracture
has been reduced and the little girl is
getting along nicely and her arm will
soon be well again.
A drouth which has affected Northern
Wisconsin since July was partially
broken last week, though this particu-
lar section did not get much rain. We
had several light falls in this locality,
but not enough to do much good. Up
north, however, there were such heavy
rains that on Wednesday evening the
Wisconsin river at this point began to
swell and by the end of the week it was
up quite high. The force working on
the street car company's new fume had
to quit work because of the water back
ing up. At Stevens Point the mills had
to shut down last week on account of
low water. On account of the drouth
it is said the potato crop in this section
will be about half what was expected in
the early part of the season.
Sept. rs will be observed by Hebrews
as the Jewish new year. Just 5,668
years before that date, accor ling to
Jewish chronology, the work Of crea-
alton began. The day is observed as
festival in accordance with the biblical
injunction as infinitely outlined 10 the
Mosaic code. According to the ortho-
dox religion the Supreme Ruler on this
day reviews the actions of nations and
of individuals All are summoned to
repentance. After ten days of oppor-
tunity comes the day of atonement
when final judgment is passed upon
the sins of the world, during the pre-
ceding year. The Jewish teaching is
that a sinner is not doomed because of
sin, but can regain purity and divine
favor. This month is known as the
month of Elul, the last in the Jewish
almonac.
