OPEN CAMPAIGN FOR
WHITE MEMORIAL FUND
Campaign 10 Re Formally Launched
with Union Service at First Bap-
fist Church SUNDAY Evening.

The campaign by friends of the late
State Senator. Tom c. White. which Is
to be conducted throughout the state,
with the purpose of establishing the
r. G. White memorial, will be formal
" opened in Pine Bluff Sunday even
ing, with big union service at the
First BAPTIST church, to start at s
O'Clock.
Announcement to this effect was
made last evening, and it was stated
also that several of the churches of
the city will suspend their evening
services Sunday, that their congrega-
tions may join and their preachers as
sist. in the union service.
1t has already been decided that the
Il. c. White memorial shall be estab-
lished, as a reward for the constant
and valiant services of Senator White
to the prohibition cause, and that it
shall take the form of a home for IL
family, and the settlement of the
claims against his estate. Tom White
was a salaried man only, and his
family was large, yet he devoted his
time and his energies continually to
the fight against saloons, giving to

Considerable success is reported in
other section of the state by the move

the committee at the head of the
movement is greatly enthused over
the excellent prospects for the early
and successful termination of the
campaign.

R0MPING AT THE RINK.
Last Friday Nights "Rube" Party
Proved to BE a Scream.

With 100 merry skaters on the floor
dressed in every conceivable, outland-
ish and ridiculous costume and 200
guffawing spectators on the side lines,
the "Rube' party at Wertz's rink last
Friday night proved to be a prolonged
scream. Fat men came dressed as
clowns, girls as "sniffed-up" old
maids, young lads as typical 'rubes'
and the children wore anything and
everything. The event was a pro-
longed laugh from beginning to end
Space does not permit the detailed
description of the many original cos
tunes. Paul Kitelinger drew first
prize, a pair of skates, on the mems
side, and Hazel Clanton the same
prize for the women.
A weeks free ticket was given to
John Edwards and Margaret Streat-
or for the best costume and the same
prize went to Max Blackburn and
LeOna Showalter for the funniest.
Those who were there know how
killingly funny they all looked The
event, as whole, was big success.

FALLS SEVE ~ FEET.
WALkSACROSS Street
JACK LENARD, A STEEPLEJACK.,
DROPS FROM CHURCH WHEN
ROPE GIVES WAY-LTVES.

Jack Lenard, an itinerant steeple--
jack, fell from almost the top of the
German Evangelical church steeplee
Monday morning about 11:30 o'clock
and landed on the ground about 20
feet away from the structure on the.
south side of the building, badly in
jured but conscious. He walked to,
the Richard Meyer, Jr., home across
the street and asked for a drink of
water. This was given him and a
telephone call sent in for DR.. Rush
Godfrey who came at once taking
Lenard to the office. His injuries con-
sisted of both arms broken above the.
wrists, broken nose and severe bruis--
es on the face and body.
Lenard was then taken to his home,
in the Nye house on North Adams
street where at o'clock he was con-
scious and seemed to be getting along
fairly well.
Lenard and his wife, and twin
brother, Robert Lenard, came here.
from Platteville about a week ago.
The boys are 20 years old and have,
followed steeple and stack painting
for six years. Up to now they have
never had an accident They started
the German church job Monday morn
ing and Jack had completed placing
his hooks in the steeple not far from
the top by knocking holes from the.
inside and shaking" the rope down.
He was well up near the top when the :
wood on the steeple broke through and
let one end of the platform down. In
falling Lenard first struck the roof
and then bounded to the street below.
That he was not killed outright is
miracle.
The Lenard boys recently painted
the Darlington Catholic church, and
Trinity church in Platteville. They
expected to paint the Evangelical and
Catholic churches in Lancaster.
Young Lenard was attended by his
pleasant young wife in their modest
one room residence on Adams street
when the Herald man called there.
Monday afternoon Lenard said that.
his stomach ached like sim but he
thought he would get well and paint
more steeples
Yesterday the patient was progress
ing nicely with good indications for
recovery.
Bob Lenard said yesterday that his
being able to push his brother toward
the road as he neared the ground, un-~
dOubtedly saved his brothers life.
Bob" Lenard was on the ground when
the fall came, and had the presence
OF mind to spring to his brothers;
rescue. He will finish the Lancaster
jobs.

MISS LEVINS RECUPERATING.


Word from Platteville was received
Monday that Miss Mildred Levins who
was thought to be fatally injured in
an automobile accident on Cheever
hill about month ago, is now recu-
perating nicely and on the road to
complete recovery. The vertebrae in
Miss Levin's neck was actually brok-
en- and she has been wearing a plaster
cast since the accident. 1t is thought
that the cast may be removed this
week and as the patient is up and
around, she may be home in a very
short time This is one of the few
cases of recovery in an accident of
this kind as the spinal paralysis US
ually causes death.

COUNTY HIGHWAY ITEMS
A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE LATEST
TOWARD GOOD ROADS IN OLD
GRANT COUNTY.

The latest information from the
county highway commissioners Of
flee shows several important road
projects completed in this county.
In Jamestown township a good
stretch of road has been completed
along Sand Ridge from the Sandy
Hook saloon to East Dubuque. This
road was put through to give East
Dubuque merchants a slice of the
Grant county business and the East
Dubuque merchants contributed about
500 toward the proposition. AS the
total cost was around $4,000, and the
county and state aid about $1,000, the
actual cost to jamestown was only
5000. The road is $500 feet in length,
consists of nine foot macadam and
graded dirt road with culverts and
so on. Fred A. Skemp of near Kim
ball park was in charge Of the work.
Cheever hill has been put in good
shape out of Platteville after many
years of roughness and steep places.
The road connects up with Dickey-
vile and Cornelia and the improve
ment itself is about 1900 feet in
length The surfacing with crushed
stone will come later. This road i'm
provement has cost about $4,000 and
farmers in contiguous territory con-
tributed about 5000 toward the prof.
ect. Adam Mink supervised the work
which was completed last Saturday a
week ago.
The Mound Branch road in Lima
township has lately been improved by
Foreman c. H. LoveIand who super
vised a tough proposition 2,4O0 feet in
length. The improvement commences
about two and one-half miles out of
Platteville and terminates just south
of the village of Arthur. Much blast
ing was done right through solid rock
with the necessary culverts and grad

road really is detour from the older

vile project moving $500 cubic yards.
of earth and rock. The work is now
completed east of Platte river in Sec
ton II with quite a stretch nearer
Dickeyville remaining to be done. Mr..
Miller's work consisted of grading,
culverts and quite lot of guard rail
and when the balance is out Of the
way very good highway will sup
plant the present rough and rocky
path between Potosi and Dickeyville
The Munns' hill job in Marion
township, where a relocation $500
feet in length is now under way, will
be completed about October 1. At that
time big booster" picnic will be
given by the town of Marion folks,
aided by Boscobel boosters. Indica-
tons are that it will be big and en-
joyable affair, marking as it does the
end of one of the worst stretches of
road in old Grant county.

JACK FROST At WORK
LAST FEW NIGHTS SAW FREEZING
IN BOTTOMS AND ON RIDGES.
WEATHER REPORT.

Old Jack Frost gleefully swept over
Wisconsin last week putting his
blighting touch on vegetation every
where.
The worst reports come from Rock
county, where on Friday night a kill
ing frost did damage estimated at
S250,000 to tobacco, corn and potato
crops. The temperature fell to be-
tween &c and % degrees above zero.
Cloudy and windy weather lessened
the damage somewhat and it was
thought Saturday that some of the to-
baccO might be saved if it should
dry before the sun hit it. There are
nearly 5000 acres of tobacco in Rock
county half of which is still in the
fields. 5000 acres of potatoes and 9O,-
600 acres of corn remain to be gather
ed in Rock county.
In Grant county frosts were expert
enced on Friday, Saturday and Sun
day nights. At Ellenboro the Platte
river bottoms felt the frost severely
on Sunday night. Previous to Friday
the bottoms were protected by fog that
dispersed on Friday night leaving the
bottoms to the mercy of the frost
king. Sunday nights frost nipped
everything even on the ridges.
Sitter reports frosts on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday nights with the
bottoms affected more than the ridges
as usual. Beetown has frosts on Sat-
urday and Sunday nights also. Potosi
had light frost on Saturday night
with enough more on Sunday night
to freeze standing water with a skim
OF ice. The grape growers on the
ridges do not believe that their vine
yards are materially injured as yet.
Burton had a hard frost in Grant bot
tom on Sunday night, but the corn is
probably far enough along to not be
hurt badly. At Cassville no frost was
experienced. A heavy fog lay over the
river on Saturday night and this with
out doubt protected the bottoms. On
the ridges some frost was experienced.
The Lancaster Canning company
which has been making strenuous eff
fort to get enough corn to complete
their contracts, felt Monday that about
two days remained to get in sweet
corn. The frost was felt all around
Lancaster both Saturday and Sunday
nights.
The official report for the past two
weeks from the Lancaster weather OBJ
server, Mr.. Kessler, is as follows:
Tuesday, Sept. 5.-Max 90; min. GA !;
south wind, partly cloudy.

AN UNUSUAL DOCUMENT
DEED OF TRANSFER FILED FOR
RECORD MONDAY GOES BACK
SIXTY-FOUR YEARS.

A deed came into the county record
ers office last Monday that was made
out June a. 1852-over sixty-four
years ago. Mellow with antiquity, it
is, with faded lines and worn paper,
but still entirely legible and clear in
it's wording.
The deed in brief, was made out by
Gerhard Feldhaar and Theresa Field
haar, his wife, Bernard Elscamp and
susanna Elscamp, his wife, and trans
fers for a consideration OF $50 paid
in hand, by George Adam Kerne, a
lot situate and lying in the county of
Grant, known and designated as the
north half of in lot No. 245, section
"a, town Of Potosi for "his use and
behoof forever" H. E. Block is the
notary witnessing the transaction, and
the document furthermore states that
''the wives signed, sealed and deliver
ed the deed free and voluntarily and
without any threat or compulsion."
f. M. Kern, FennimOre merchant, is
the man sending the deed for record
The George Adam Kern named in the
deed is Mr.. Kern's father, who passed
away about thirty years ago. The lot
in question is located in Potosi on the
main street running north about two
lots above and across the street from
the Ben Elscamp residence. An old
log building that as not been occupied
for many years, stands on the proper
ty.
Mr.. Kern has had the deed for many
years, but did not consider it neces-
sary to file it for record until a few
days ago.

WHEN KILLING FROSTS ARE DUE.
(Sauk County Farmer.)

There is always more or less dis
cussion on the dates at which we may
expect killing frosts in this locality.
Of course there is danger of a light
freeze at time-almost every month
in the year has a record of it's own
with regard to an occasional nip; but
by killing frost we mean one that
kills the leading crop, which in this
section means corn.
In order to set at rest neighborhood
talk or tradition, this paper has TAX
en- pains to get the records from the
u. S. weather bureau office in Madison
for our readers. These observations
were made at Portage, the point near
est to Baraboo at which reliable fig
ures are compiled. Here they are:

WILSON KISSED THE HAND
RED WITH AMERICAN
BLOOD.

President Wilson explicitly
| shows that the Carranzistas, not
once but repeatedly, made at
! tacks on American towns, and
killed American citizens, and
mutilated them in September,
1915. Yet on October 10Th, 1918,
less than a month later, this
same President Wilson, through
his same Secretary of State,
formally announced to Carran-
za's agent that 1t was his pleas
ure" to take the opportunity "of
extending recognition to the de
facto government of Mexico, Of
which General Yenustiano Car
rama is the chief executive"
President Wilson thus recog-
nized the government which, his
own Secretary of State declares,
had been less than a month pre-
viously engaged in repeated
assaults upon Americans, and In
the invasion of American soil,
the government at whose head
was General Carranza, who, less
than two months previously, on
August End, 1915, had contempt
uously refused to pay any heed
to any representations of Presi-
dent Wilson on behalf of media
ton, saying that under no
consideration would l permit in
reference in the internal affairs
of Mexico" President Wilson
did not merely kiss the hand
that slapped him in the face. He
kissed that hand when it was
red with the blood of American
men, women and children, who
had been murdered and mutilat-
ed with, as President Wilson,
through his Secretary of State,
says, ruthless brutality."-From
the speech of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis
ton, Maine, in behalf of Charles
r. Hughes.
