HAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
r. w. Spiegeiberg Pinned Down and
Badly Injured When Logs Roll
Off Car

F. w. Spiegelberg, who has for
estimator for the Menasha Wooden
Ware Co., had narrow escape from
death Tuesday morning, when he was
knocked down and seriously injured
by two logs that rolled off the top
of car onto him. The accident oc-
Cured near the company's office in
this city.
The car of logs was being unload
ed and Mr. Spiegelberg was standing
between the car and full rollway of
logs. The end of the car at which he
was standing had not been unload
ed, but men were at work unloading
the other end and evidently the two
tiers of logs had been telescoped in
to each other. The result was that
when the men lifted up one of the
legs, the top logs on the other side
were dislodged and came tumbling
down They bounded over Mr.
then fell back on him.
The logs, which were Eastwood,
each scaling over 300 feet, were lift
ed off him and he was rushed to his
home and placed under the care of
DR.. O'Connor. 1t was found that his
worst injuries were about the chest,
which was badly crushed. Several of
his ribs were broken and one of his
lungs is badly congested, besides
other internal injuries. His face was
badly cut and bruised, the nose be-
ing nearly torn off.
At first it was thought that his
chances for living were very slight,
but latest reports indicate that he
is on the road to recovery, which is
welcome news to Ladysmith people,
for Fred is most highly esteemed by
all

A NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT

o. B. Ellingboe has made a very
material improvement in the appear
ance Of the interior of his store by
putting in an overhead balcony, which
gives him much more space to dis
play his fine stock of furniture. The
balcony is ten feet wide and extends
for forty feet along the west side
of the store The space underneath
is partitioned off into model rooms,
parlor, dining room, bedroom and
kitchen, each appropriately furnished,
the whole making an admirable dis
play and one of value to a pros
pective purchaser, enabling one to
see how the various pieces match
and look when assembled as they
would be in a home.

THE BIG SALE

The Big Sale at the Cash Depart
ment Store has broken all records.
The store has been crowded daily.
Our enthusiastic advertising of last
week, did not overstate a single
value. In fact it did not give a thor
ough conception Of the unusual bar
gains given during this closing out
sale The hundreds of people who
visited this sale during the opening
days found the reductions even great
er than advertised. Never in the his
tory of Ladysmith have the people
responded to a merchandise sale as
they have this one, and every pur-
chaser at this closing out sale was
compelled to admit that greater bar
gains were never offered in their ex-
perience. If you have visited this
sale we know you will come again,
if you have not you cannot afford
to miss it.

The county fair prize money Won
by the Ladysmith public schools last
year was received the past week. II
amounted to the neat little sum OF
S24.50. Contributions in drawing, pen
manship, map work, manual training
and art needle-work constituted the
entries.
The manual training department
made three emergency cabinets the
past week. They will be supplied
with a few simple first-aid remedies,
and one placed in each building.
What about organizing an alumni
association? Our highschool already
has a large number of graduates on
its list and such an organization
would be most helpful in keeping
them in touch with one another. An
alumni banquet could be held at
commencement time and other "get
together" meetings which would un-
doubtedly be pleasant and helpful.

SUGAR BEETs FOR HOGS.

Roots Provide q Valuable Addition to
tho Winter Ration.
All the root crops are valuable in the
feeding .of. live stock In countries
where root crops ! easily grown they
are fed In large quantities, and 1t has
been found that q pound of dry matter
contained in the average root crop is
equal in feeding value to a pound of
dry matter in corn or similar concen.
trated feeds.
The sugar beet is richer in feeding
value than most Of the. other root crops.
due to the fact that it contains a large
amount of sugar, says the Kansas
Farmer. Sugar beets will form a very
valuable addition to the diet of the
hogs during the winter season and,
when grain feeds r scarce, might be
relied upon quite largely in the winter
ing Of stock hogs. They can best be
preserved by storing them.in some sort
of root cellar or pit in the ground. 1t is
necessary to- prevent them from freez-
ing. and stored in this waythey wilEre,

Examine the Horses 1eeth.

Not very many Of us pay as much
attention to the mouths of our horses
as we should. Good mouths in our
horses would prevent many cases Of
Indigestion, collie and lack of energy.
!.Samine the horses mouth and see
that the teeth are in smooth working
condition. If there are rough edges of
the teeth that will lacerate the cheeks
and tongue have them filed down by
a competent veterinarian. This will
allow the full chewing Of the food and
improve the general health of the
horse. Decayed teeth frequently cause
an overgrowth of the. corresponding
teeth OF, the opposite set and this over
growth should be leveled down, SO as
to permit the uppers and lowers to
come together and present a perfect
grinding surface.
