HAIL DOES GREAT DAMAGE
Storm in Trempeieau and Vernon
Counties Disastrous to Crops
and Buildings.

Trempealeau = The most terrific
hail storm ever known here did an
immense amount of damage to crops
and property. The north and west
sides of every building in town had
from five to twenty window glasses
shattered, the high school building
alone having fifty-five panes broken,
creating a panic among the pupils.
Actual measurements of some of
the hail stones showed them to be
IA inches around and five picked up
at random weighed six pounds. The
damage done the city will exceed
$4,000 and in the surrounding coun-
try it is beyond computation, reach
ing up to many thousands. Corn,
barley and fruit trees suffered heay-
lily Thousands of trees were fairly
stripped of their limbs, while much
poultry and small stock were killed.
The storm did much damage in
Vernon county, making worthless the
standing tobacco crop. About four
fifths of the acreage Of that county
has already been harvested, but the
loss to growers will be from $4,000
to S75, 900.

Secretary Rowlands Confident That

Previous Years-HoteI Men Pre-
DICT Record Crowds.

Milwaukee. - When the gates
opened to admit the public to the
1911 Wisconsin state fair, every
thing was in place for the great
show.
Two thousand exhibitors, their as
sistants and workmep spent all of
the previous day getting things ready
for the opening. An army of ex-
perts, artisans and directors put the
finishing touches on one of the great
est displays of Wisconsin products
that has even been shown.
Previously it has been the custom
to open the fair on Monday, but the
plan this year called for opening on
Tuesday SO that the exhibition would
be complete before the public was
admitted to the park
Hotel men of Milwaukee say that
they have never had as great a de-
mand for rooms during state fair
week as they have this year
Secretary ROwlands is very enthu-
siastic over the prospects for one of
the greatest fairs that has ever been
held in the state.
From present indications I be-
lieve that this is going to be the
greatest state fair that Wisconsin has
ever held" said Mr.. Rowlands. "Ev-
erything points to success. There
are more exhibitors; there are more
race horses and there is more of
everything than has ever been shown
at a previous state fair. | am sure
that the people of the state will say
that we have given them a show that
will place Wisconsin in the front
ranks of the states of the middle
west "

Fond du Lac.-Ten men were in

two light engines and a wrecking

miles north of Oakfield.
The wreck is supposed to have been

it impossible for the crews of the
two trains to see each others APP

The last night he was informed that
he could not come back there.
He was in despair. He had no
home-no friends-no money-nO-
where to go. He had made fruit
less effort to join the United States
army, but they informed him that he
was too small Then he tried the
navy, but was told that he could not
speak English plainly enough. He had
spent the fifty cents Mr.. Whitman
gave him in cheap meals-merely ex'
listing from day to day. He had
reached the point where he conclud'
ed that there was nothing left for him
to do but go back to the Bridewell
and ask his good friend, the superin-
tendent. to keep him, for he felt that
no one wanted him and that no OPP
portunity of any kind awaited him.
After hearing the boys story, Mr..
Whitman called UP the Parting OF the
WAYS Home and asked me II | could
not use a bright, neat, careful boy.
He scrubbed, cleaned and assisted me
in every possible way to get the
Home ready. This was just before
the opening of the Home. At the ex-
piration of nine days | was able to
secure a position for him in Memphis,
Tenn. as storekeeper IN a prominent
hotel at $40 a month, room and board.
Surely there was no one in Chicago

bright, smiling boy l put on board the
train for Memphis that night. He

and you, might have become thief
or worse-and / don't want to do any

After telling me his experiences
during his absence, he produced

book. showing that within less than
twenty months he had saved more

his one object and aim in life Is TO

come a successful business man. At
the present time he is employed as
storekeeper in a first-class hotel in

BY ROLLO n. M'BRIDE.
Manager of the Parting Of the Ways
Home

~ HICAGO-In the year 1900
lei there lived in Bristol, Belgium,
"a poor, Woodworking widow by
49, the name of Remmers and he1
only son, Emile, aged 10,
bright, manly boy, to whom she was
very much attached. Unfortunately
for Emile, his mother married a sec
ong time and the stepfather did not
take kindly to the boy. Therefore, he
became trouble-breeder. 1t was de-
cided that Emile should be sent to the
United States. The father then prov
ed extremely kind to him and bought
his ticket to Chicago Believing that
America was a wild and dangerous
place-and Chicago in particular in
habited chiefly by Indians and cow
boys-he presented Emile with two
reVolyers, saying: Take care of
them; you will need them when you
get there"
Sailing from Liverpool via the AL
ian line, he encountered unusually
bad weather, passing through blind
Ing snowstorH-the waves mountain
high and the ship rolling and tossing
in the gales. In fact, the passage
was considered to be one of the
most stormy ever experienced by even
the most hardened sailors.
In due course of time Emile arrived
In Chicago and, calling upon the
French consul he was able to secure
a position as porter in one of the
finest restaurants. He took the little
money he had left and paid for
room. This done, his means were
hausted.
The second night, going home from
work rather late, he was attacked by
two tougns, as he passed under the
IL" tracks. They bounced upon him,
gagged him and threw him upon tn
ground. He, realizing his danger
drew one of the reyolvers his father
had given him and fired several shots
The toughs promptly took to their
heels. The shots attracted the atten-
ton of detective, who, rushing to
the scene, saw two mel running away
and one upon the ground. He there
fore grabbed the only one he could
find and Emile, thinking him another
hold-up man, commenced to fire wild
ly again.

| Charlton Andrews, head Of the Eng.

turned from the east where he
achieved distinction in the literary
world not often within the reach of
western man. Last year he was
the successful competitor for the Nc
Dowell resident fellowship at Har-
ward, the basis of the competition be-
ing four-act play. In competition
with 700 students and men of let
tiers throughout the United States,
Mr.. Andrews won the coveted prize
and spent the past year at Harvard.
The competitive plays were submitted
to Prof. George P, Baker of Harvard,
the greatest American academic au'
thority on the drama. While at Har-
ward he sat under Professors Baker,
Bliss, Perry, Irving, Rabbit, etc.
While at Harvard Mr.. Andrews
wrote a masque, "The Interrupted
Revels," which was accepted by the
Mcdowell club of New York city
and presented on December IS in the
ball room of the Hotel Plaza, Amer
ica's most ultra-fashionable hotel
This club puts on charity play each
year and the leading roles are taken
by celebrated actors, authors, artists,
etc. The leading parts were inter- !
preted by Walter Hampden (Manson
