The Monroe Fair


The incltment weather of the past
week materially lessened the attendance
at the fair in Monroe, where every one
al ways enjoys going. Their hallexhibits

there. The vegetables were well dis
p layed and of good varieties. The floral
dis play was fine, but the dahllas surpass.
ed anything ever attempted. They were
arranged by shades and in assorted col
ors. The fancy work could not be ex-
celled by even the State exhibits. 1t
obtained many new ideas in hand made
laces. underwear and table decorations
One of the largest exhibits was made by
Mrs. Vesta Davis Higgins OF Brooks.

FIRE IN FREMONT BLOCK

A fire of unknown origin Quilted the
office of Dr.. j. b. RICHTER and threat
ened the destruction of the treatment
Block about 1850 Friday morning.
The blaze was discovered by passers-
by, who saw smoke issuing from the
windows over the Postoffice. The
alarm was turned in at once, but, as
in the case of the feed stable fire q
few weeks ago, the automatic system
failed to operate the bell There were
enough men in the immediate vicini-
ty, however, to operate the fire ap-
paratus, and the Blaze was soon ex-
tinguished.
1t had burned through between par
titions and floors and quite lot of
water was necessary to flood it out.
The Postoffice force had strenuous
half hour rushing records, stamps,
mail, ETC., to places of safety, but
managed so well that nothing was
lost in their department.
DR.. Fighters dental Office and the
equipment were badly scorched.,
1t was very fortunate that the fire
occurred at an hour when so many
people were about, to give aid, for
with the failure of the fire alarm at
a time of night when help would have
been difficult to obtain the building
would certainly have been destroyed
and perhaps others with it.
1t is to be hoped that the peril of
an inadequate fire alarm system will
speedily be remedied.

A CHRISTMAS WINDOW
By w. b. Dawson

We're masons, and when fear beset )
About our narrow world we build
Thick NOTED walls and parapets
Till every sunlit space is filled.
But wiser far, what'er befall,
'Twould be if thru our years ma
We'd open keep in our gray wall
At least one tiny aperture.
Thru such a crevice warningly
The suns bright rays might reach
the soul,
And weeping, weary eyes might see
New, far-fung fields of love unroll.
And thru it as in yester year
We'd see the land of Santa Claus
Where every heart is full of cheer
And Mother Nature makes the
laws.
There elfn music still enchants,
And silver stars shine thru the blue
There fairies dance and reindeer
prance
Just as of yore they used to do.

Interstate Commerce Commission has
been made for an increase of pas
senger rates to three and six-tenths
cents per mile, irrespective of the
earning power of the different roads
in Wisconsin. The good old days of
two cents a mile fiat and one cent on
round trip excursion tickets have gone
glimmering but passenger rates are
nearly doubled by the new orders and
freight increases have also made
heavy jumps, all of which are paid
by the ultimate user. Word was sent
Governor Philip that any proposed
amendment to the Esch- Cummins law
hat would protect the jurisdiction. of
our State Commission would be
heartily supported by the writer and
other members of the delegation. In

TWO AUTO ACCIDENTS

Two automobile accidents occurred
on the outskirts of the village of
Baldwin Monday evening, within a
block of each other, says the New
Richmond News.
George Vanderberg and a young
lady friend ran off culvert on the
south edge of town. The car fell
several feet and landed on its top,
but fortunately neither of the oc-
cupants was much hurt.
A block further west, car driven
by John Doornink, we'll known in'
that section of the country, ran off
the road and into a ravine and, turn
ing turtle, landed in the water. A
man by the name of Jagerink, who
had arrived from Cedar Grove but
short time before to take employ
ment in the Baldwin Cooperative
store, was drowned. Mr.. Doornink
had three ribs broken and was hurt
internally. Mrs. Doornink and their
son, who were in the rear seat of the
sar, weren't hurt, thought the got a
thorough soaking, and none of the
occupants of the car were able to ex-
tricate themselves until help arrived.
Jagerink was on the front seat of
the car with Mr.. Doornink, who turn
ed to speak to his wife, and while do
ing so lost control of the car.
Jagerink was about 60 years of
age.

regard to the controversy between the
Railway Commission of Wisconsin
and the Interstate Commerce Com

rates within our state is instructive.
Wisconsin, Illinois, New York and
many stats have refused to surren-

and injunctional proceedings are to
be heard in Wisconsin before the court
in an effort to prevent wiping our

station during recent months. Thous-
snds from Southern Europe arrive
every week, often in single sh;ploads,
and, according to official communica-
tons sent Congress from the State

The immigration Committee that has
been holding public hearings in New

THE FACTS

Regarding the Statement" pub
lished by the local Nash agency in
The Journal last Thursday, l wish to
announce that we were, as they said,
dissatisfied with the showing made
by our car in that race and that we
offered them Immediately after
wards any side-bet which they cared
to put up on another race between
any Nash stock car and any Elgin
stock car, the latter to be submitted
to their inspection before the race to
prove to their satisfaction that it had
not been altered in any way that
might disqualify it as stock car.
l do not believe that anyone who
witnessed the race has the slightest
doubt but what the Elgin car was not
in working order. We were ready and
willing to race last Sunday, but the
Nash people would not race. We are
still ready to race at the first oppor-
tunity, and will post $500 or more as
our share.
