Hospital Fund Growing.

The hospital fund is gradually
swelling to the $4,000 mark, 23,255
now being the amount in the fund
which leaves only S1,745 to be
pledged before the goal is reached,
and if everyone who can, will send
in their subscriptions, it will only
be matter of few days before the
required $4,000 will be secured.
Such distressing accident as
happened to Geo. Harter in Pleasant
twp. Monday proves most force
ably that We are in need of a modern
up-to-date hospital here. Instead
of the long tedious ride to La Crosse
where Mr.. Harter was taken yester-
day, he could have been rushed to
DEBORAH in about a half hours time
and secured the medical and surgical
attendance that such unfortunate &C.
cidents require.

a good time too. The locals proved
easy picking for them and they stor-
ed eleven big scores away, and were
just mean enough not to let the To-

gents know how to play the game all
right and did play it. If the locals

errors there might have been a
chance, but then to err is human,
to forgive divine" and they are for
given, because they are going to get

An Irishman was digging a well
but when he started to work one
morning he was astonished to find
that it had caved in during the
night, undoing all his work. The
Irishman took off his hat and coat
and throwing them on the ground,
went down town and spent the day
at his favorite saloon. He returned
to the well about dusk. There was
a great crowd around the we'll and
two or three exhausted workmen had
just reached the bottom The Irish
man thanked them kindly for hav-
ing dug out the well, and picking up
his hat and coat went on home.
