those which appeared were very small

Of these ridiculous beasts were sent

qualified, and only one turned out to
be a real bull
"The public. unable to repress its
indignation, laid hold Of everything II
could get its hands on and threw It
into the bull ring, causing serious
damage.
In the midst of the excitement the
announcement was made that the
management had been fined 500, but
this was not sufficient to allay the
public indignation. The manager OF
the bull ring was compelled to hide
owing TO the fact that some OF the
most excited individuals in the audi

for him.

marked before, and would have had
more serious consequences had not

CHANCE FOR SETTLEMENT GONE.
6asso Might Have Decided Vexed
Question, But He Didn't.

The choir began the hymn When
they came to the line Neither are
they afraid" the composer Of the
music had so written It that II had to
be repeated first by the soprano, then
by the alto, and finally by the bass.
The soprano seemed to be of conserva-
tive taste and sang the line: "Nee.ther
are they afraid" Apparently the alto
had departed from the usage of her
forefathers, for when she brought out
the words they became "Ni.ther are
they afraid" and 1t became a serious
question which side the bass would
take. The bass was an lrishman, Out
rolled his rich voice; "Nayther are
they afraid"
SO the question Of usage still re-
NAMED unsettled

stored 10 nealLn Dy NlnOl
Our little daughter. six years Of age,
after a severe attack Of the measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pidfully thin, weak and emaeiat-
ed. She had no appetite. and her stom-
ach was so weak it could not retain
food. She lay in this condition for
weeks. and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did bit Of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
"At this time we commenced to give
her vinol, and the effect was marvel
Gus. The doctor was amazed at her
progress, and when We told him We
were giving her vinol, he replied, 1t
is a fine remedy, keep it up We did
50, and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
thought she could" J. w. Flagg,

Vinol cures conditions like this be-
cause in natural manner it increases
the appetite. tones up the digestive
organs, makes rich. red blood, and
strengthens every organ in the body.

Wealthy Farmer Is Found Dead.

P. Duschack, a wealthy farmer of
the town of Sun Prairie, was found
dead on the pantry floor of his home
by Christ Olson, on Wednesday morning.
He was bachelor, living alone with
only his dog for companion, and was
last seen alive on Sunday night. 1t is
believed that he arose during the night
and that while going after bottle of
pain killer, which stood on a shelf in
the pantry, he dropped dead from heart
failure. Mr.. Olson made frequent calls
on Duschack. He went to the farm
house on Tuesday afternoon and in re-
spouse to knocks on the door, Dus-
chack's dog barked Thinking that
Duschack had locked the dog in the
house and gone away for the afternoon,
Mr.. Olson returned to his home. On
Wednesday morning he again went to
Duschack's house. The dog was still
locked in, and no response came to his
knocks on che door. He then conclud-
ed that something was wrong, and
looking into pantry window he saw
Duschack's body on the floor. So far
as is known he has never been sick In
his life. 1t was found that Duschack' S
stock was suffering for want of food and
water. Duschack lived six miles east
of Sun Prairie village where he owned
14O acres of land. 1t is one of the fin
est farms in the township. Duschack
was so years old and was worth about
$50,
