While Worth Ames and Forrest John
son were hunting one day last week,
Forrest was quite severely wounded by
the accidental discharge of gun, the
charge passing through the leg just
above the shoe.
Last Friday afternoon and evening
the golden wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. Lars OfferdaD of Pleasant
Springs was celebrated at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Helgerson at Door
Creek. It is estimated that nearly 200
guests attended. About $85 was raised
as gift for the old couple.
The Stoughton milk condensery, due
to transportation congestion, has shut
down on good share of it's patrons,
among them farmers around Utica.
Some time ago the condensery company
wanted to buy the Utica creamery and
dismantle it, so as to be sure the farm
ers would not go back to the creamery
when the condensery price goes down.
The farmers refused to sell and are
mighty glad now that they did not.
They are now making butter again.
DIR. Grefsheim received a telephone
call from John Coughlin on the Ridge
Tuesday, asking him to come and adj
minister the Pasteur treatment to four
of his hogs that had been bitten by mad
dog. The animal was stray one and
his conduct led to the suspicion that he
was mad. In consequence he was fol-
lowed nearly to Madison where he was
shot. His brains were taken to the
University where it was examined and
found to have rabies. Where the dog
came from or how long it had been at
large is not known, and as conse-
quence other dogs and animals may
have been bitten.

DeafnessCanu0t be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that IS by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of tie mucous surfaces.
