-Chas. Kane, the Platteville miner
who was almost blown to pieces from
a dynamite CAP explosion on July 4,
has SO far recovered as to be able to
sit up, and his recovery is considered
marvellous, as it was thought for
time that he would surely die. His
eyesight was destroyed, one arm
broken, leg broken twice and in
ternal injuries received, which would
have killed an ordinary man instant
ly.
A young farmer, near Centerville.
Iowa, G. K. Raney, has invented and
perfected an attachment for binder
That taxes the bundles of grain as
they come from the machine and
places them in shocks Ee has sold
his invention to the International
Harvester Company for large cash
payment and royalties, together with
permanent position in the expert
mental department, and is row
demonstrating the use of the attach
ment in the harvest fields of the west.
Numerous improvements have
been made in the Ladies' Rest Room
at the city hall. The interior has
been repainted and new windows
have been added making the room
much more pleasant and inviting,
The rest room is one of the most help
full institutions supported by the city.
Many residents of the city as we'll as
outsiders make it their head quarters
while doing their shopping. Mrs.
Winskill. the efficient rest room
matron. has been taking a much need
ed vacation while the impr ovements
were in progress
DIR. S. W. Doolittle. performed a
very dangerous operation one day last
week on Clyde Rogers, the ID year
old son of Mrs. Emily Rogers, of
Beetown. The lad was afflicted with
a crooked foot from birth and up to
this time the doctors have hardly
dared attempt the Strengthening Of
the injured member DR. Doolittle
has now made the attempt, and from
all appearances it has been success
The lad is improving daily and will
soon be able to walk correctly. The
operation was performed at the home
of George Marks of this city.
VIM. Fields, of Montfort, was ar
rested Friday by Chief of Police Nc
Carthy and taken before Justice Frank
Calls to answer to a charge Of obtain
ing liquor for Jim Livens, black
listed man. He pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to pay fine and costs
amounting to something over $50
This he did not choose to do SO he was
committed to the county Jail for
thirty days. The city authorities are
determined to put a stop to this viola
tion of a city ordinance and it will go
hard with any one who is caught at
tempting to procure liquor for men on
the. prohibited list
There will be no professional
horse-racing at Viroqua. Viola, aud
Gays Mills fairs this year. This was
decided at a recent meeting Of the
secretaries Of the three associations
and has since been the subject of con-
siderable comment by the state press.
One reason for the elimination of this
feature is that the state will give no
aid hereafter on race premiums. 1t
is also said that the interest in horse
racing has died out but this is doubt
full as even fixed race seldom fails TO
attract a crowd of interested spectators
to the grandstand and fences at any
fair. The sport is expensive and brings
perhaps, little return but its total
elimination from the county fair
programs is questionable move.
According to weather foreca sters
there will be shortage OF rainfall

scheduled in the lake states from the

followed by a cool wave that may
bring frosts in the northern section
