DEATH NARROWLY AvERrED
Deaf Mute Injured on Southeastern
Railroad

Within the yard limits Of Coon Val
ley, last Wednesday, as the South
eastern train was proceeding west an
accident occurred which raised each
particular hair on the Uranium of Henry
(Stubb) Allen, who was driving the To-
connective that day. The Coon Valley
Herald gives this account of the af-
fair:
"John Johnson of tins place. deaf and
dumb, narrowly escaped being ground
TO death under the wheels of the en-
CINE. However, he got off with a
broken ankle and a severely bruised
body. How the accident occurred is
not clearly understood, but it seems
that johnson was in the act of crossing
the track at the crossing lust west of
the stockyar6s. At that place the rev
of the track is not obstrueted and had
he been paying attention the chances
are that the accident would have been
avoided. Ii must be attributed to alb
sentmindedness. As near as we can
guess, for no one can say accurately.
he was in the center of the track when
hit He was thrown against the cattle
guard fence, on the engineers side of
the engine, and being an exceptionally
large man broke this down. The train
was travelling at low rate of speed
and for this and his extreme weight
must he give thanks that his life was
spared. The train was stopped and
johnson was carried back to the depot
and DIR. Storlie summoned. After the
doctor had ascertsined the extent of the
mans injuries it was decided as best to
take him to hospital at La Crosse.
Later intelligence of the accident re-
ceived here is that shortly after being

FAIR RACING IS DROPPED OUT
Officers so Decide ar a Late Meeting
Other ADJUSTMENTS

Adjourned meeting of the agricultur-
al society officers held Thursday made
final disposition of the important ques-
ton of whether or not horse races
would be feature of the approaching
fair, and it was determined that there
should be no harness racing. Having
withdrawn state aid for this purpose it
was thought best not take the chances
of making a financial expenditure by
putting IN purses as has been the Gus
tom IN the past. What the effect will
be can only be determined by a trial.
In the past 40 per cent of purses has
been paid by the state.
In the place of an extensive program
of racing it is proposed to have a base
ball tournament with not less than four
games, and with clubs from Cashton,
Ontario, La Fargo, Viola, Viroqua and
perhaps other places contrasting. For
this sport it is proposed to put up SIS
to 500 per game. Other amusements
to attract interest will be added.
The CENSOR is not informed of all
features, they will be made in ample
time.

most experienced hands to do. 1t is a
sight well worth seeing, and 1t is the
intention of the manager of this up

out systems start Every piece of goods
is examined to see that it is properly
marked and a record is kept of each
customers bundle. Lots are made up
which go through the processes sepa-
rately on regular time schedule and are
carefully checked at every stage
All confusion is avoided and when the
chain OF processes is complete every
piece is in the proper package and de-

room the clothes are taken to the diff
ferent washing machines. which swish
them back and forth in pure and clean

the envy of any woman whoever bent
over q tub.
There is no rubbing. no pounding,
nothing to wear them out. One wash
ing on dashboard would wear out the
