Association-is deprived of helper,
counsellor or leader, and,
Whereas. The Ministerial Union of

CRACKERS UrA- E9URG
BLOW OPEN SAFE IN THE
POSTOFFICE
Secure Six-Hundred Dollars in Stamps
Ear Marks of Professional
Blowers

A safe in the postoffice at Chaseburg
was blown open some time during FRI
day night and $3.50 in stamps were car
ried away. The work has all the ear
marks of professional safe blowers.
Not single clue was left behind for
the authorities to work upon.
The discovery of the robbery was
made Saturday morning when II. w.
Schallert, the postmaster, opened the
place. He found that the lock had been
blown from the door of the safe and
investigation revealed that all stamps
had been stolen. No money was taken,
that having been removed when the of
Zee was closed Friday evening. The
robbery was at once reported to Post
master Skaar at Lacrosse who put the
authorities to work on the case.
Entrance to the building was obtain
ed through the rear doors, by skeleton
keys, it is thought. Small holes had
been drilled around the safe lock after
which, it is thought, nitro-glycerine
charges were used to blast open the
strongbox. The noise of the blasts was
carefully muffied for Schallert, who
lives directly across the street and
none of the family, heard it during the
night. AS Ear as can be ascertained
none in tie village was alarmed curing
the night and the residents SLEPT on
peacefully ignorant of the burglary un-
til It's discovery in the morning.

WE HAVE FAVORABLE HoNoRS
In School Oratorical Contests Here
and at Sparta

A large and enthusiastic audience
gathered in the high school assembly
room on Friday evening, to listen to
the girls declamatory contest in which
La Crosse, Sparta and Viroqua were
each represented by three contestants.
The program previously published was
enacted without a flaw, and all the
young ladies are highly complimented
upon such successful elimination of
their efforts.
The first place was awarded to Miss
Lorna Axtell of Sparta, who delivered
The Execution of Sidney Carton. :"
| The sc cond place was lie between
two Virooua girls. Helen Graves and
Ady Lieuranee. The former gave''Tom
Sawyer's Love Affair the iatte-, Jean
Vatican. Miss Axtell will represent
the district in the state contest. Not
only were the Contestants accorded con-
| tinuous cheers. but the audience mar
! ifested its delight when musical num-
Sers were rendered by the high school
orchestra and the boys and girls glee
clubs. The judges were Prof. Steiner
of Cashton, Miss Hutchinson and Mr
| White of the Lacrosse normal.
On the same evening the boys ora
torical contest took place at Sparta,
Viroqua being represented by Melvin
Olson, Jake Mccoy and Gerald Smith.
The latter and Neil Pitcher of Sparta
tied for first honors and both will go to
the state contest. Their subjects were
THE Cross Of Gold.
Later-A mistake was made when
the judges of the league oratorical con-
test at Sparta made their report No
tic existed. but Gerald Smith of Viro-
qua won first place, VIM. Walker Of
Lacrosse second, and Neil Pitcher of
Sparta third. Smith and Walker will
60 to the district contest
The tie given for second place in the
declamatory contest here was an error,
Helen Graves having second place and
Ady Lieursnce third. Helen Graves
represents US in the coming deelamatory
I contest.
The total result gives Viroqua a first
and a second, while Sparta has a first
only and Lacrosse a second. Thus vi.
roqua is the winner in the league con-
| test.
