At the Jail it was thought best to

very wise conclusion, indeed. Contract

The death of Richard Fisher, snnoun-
ced in last weeks CENSOR, caused deep
sorrow in this community. That one
of his prospects should be cut down in
the very inception of his career of use
| fulness would seem cruel were we not
disposed to accept the will of He who
guides the destinies of worlds and in
dividuais. A young man of promise,
| high character, beloved by par
ents and all acquaintance. The re-
mains arrived Thursday evening and
were taken to the residence of August
Smith, funeral in the Congregational
church Friday afternoon, of which he
was a member, largely attended by
sorrowing parents, relatives and friends
The floral offerings were extremely ell
eborate and handsome.
Richard Vaughan Fisher, the eldest son
of VIM. F. and Margaret Fisher was
born October "a, 1890, in this city. His
boyhood was spent here, and his edu-
cation acquired in our public schools
He graduated from our high school at
the last commencement, June, 1910.
For the last four or five years he has
worked in the local creamery during the
summer vacation. This last winter he
took course of study in dairying at
the University of Madison. 1t was his
intention to work in this line for while
later perhaps choosing some other bust
ness or profession.
Richard has seemed a strong, health
full young man, although some three
years ago he began to have occasional
attacks of pain, which may have been
connected with his late sickness About
two weeks ago, he became severly i'll,
and on the l6th he was taken to Ro-
chester, Minnesota But the skill OF
the famous surgeons there was of no
avail, and he passed away on Tuesday
afternoon. April IS
Relatives and friends from distance
who came to attend the funeral were:

Union Services for Anti.SaIoon League

The English protestant religious ser
vice of last Sunday in this city, were
given over to addresses by a repre-
sentative of the anti-saloon league -
Hon. John +. Baker, alderman of the
city of Madison. Mr. Baker spoke to
the united congregations in the morning
at the Congregational church and in
the evening at the Methodist, giving an
outline of the purpose of the league,
the obstacles 1t has encountered and the
progress it has made during the seven
teen years of existence. To illu trate
the change in temperance sentiment in
this state since 1900, he said that the
total of dry" towns had risen from
about POO to over 500, and that more
than one-half of Wisconsin people were
now residents of dry" territory.
In addition to being state at
torney for the league. Mr. Baker is
the father Of the Baker residence dis
trict law, under which Viroqua city is
now controlled, and his coming at this
time thus attracted more than usual in
terest. He touched upon the law, it's
bearing upon the local situation, but
gave no information not commonly I'M
derstO0d by our citizens because of the
liberal discussion it has provoked
Mr.. Baker, in reply to a question
on the subject, said he fully believed a
council that would grant license in the
face of the present confusion, might be
guilty of mafeasance. The place TO
have this contention properly passed
upon is in competent court. He gave
our district attorney and local officials
credit for establishing in the higher
court decisions that are far-rqaching
He deplored the thought that Wiscon-
sin pays two millions of dollars an
nually to support a university at the
seat of government, that the leeisla-
ture of the state refuses to protect
young men from the places that make
inebriates of them. He referred to the
defeat Of the five-mile and mile dry
zone bills about the university. and also
expressed regret that Vernon county s
record for temperance represent tives
should have been marred 10y vote of the
present member, when last week he cast
his vote against these measures.
