HIGHLAND CENTER AT TOP
BEATS BOSC0BEL IN A FURIOUS
GAME. 5 TO 4
Viola Beats Hillsbor0; Cashton De-
feats Muscoda; Soldiers Grove
Wins from LaFarge

4
The Penant race in the Western
Wisconsin league is drawing to its
close, and it certainly is as pretty a
contest as one could wish for Next
Sunday tells the tale--or it doesn't,
as the case may be.
The great game last Sunday was
pulled off at Richland Center when
that team defeated Boscobel and tum-
bled her into tied third place, TAX
ing the coveted position at the top.
Cashton won from Muscoda and goes
into second place. Viola added to her
points by defeating HilIsboro. The
two cellar teams, Soldiers Grove and
LaFarge, crossed bats-and LaFarge
closed her season with Ia defeats and
two victories.
And now for the dope: The big
elimination game next Sunday will be
Richland Center at Viola. If Viola
wins, she stays in the race. The same
is true of Boscobel. This result, and
then victory by the Certer in the
makeup game with Muscoda the fol-
lowing Sunday would tie Roscobel,
Cashton, Richland. Center and Viola
for first place. Should Viola and
Boscobel lose, then the Center will be
at the top with Cashton second.
Should the Center lose to Muscoda
the following Sunday, then Cashton
and the Center will be tied for first
and must play off. Should the Gen.
ter win from Muscoda, she gets the
much-coyeted rag. This line of dope
is contingent upon what action the
officials Of the league take upon the
protested games. The Boscobel-C Gen.
ter game last Sunday was protested
by Boscobel, and there are several
others. ~
Viroqua ends her season by cross
ing bats with Soldiers Grove on our
grounds next Sunday, and Viroqua
fans are urged to see this last game.
Pet Morrison. will pitch Should we
lose and Muscoda win twice, we will
be tied with that team for fifth place.
We mustn't let this happen, so get
out and help put pep into the team.

AUTO ACCIDENTS SUNDAY
ANTON OLS0N'S CAR SMASHED
AND MRS. OLSON HURT
L. VI. ThOmpson's Family and a La
Crosse Party Come Together
at Chase Heights


As Anton Olson and Chas. Groh
and wives and Sam Owen reached
the eulyert near the old Hayes place
a mile south of the city, at about $50
Sunday night, they were ran into BY
a party of five men in Ford car Mr..
Olson had his car up against the cul-
vert on the right side, and the acci-
dent was entirely unexcusable. The
men were arrested on a charge of
drunkenness, but we understand they
pleaded not guilty and gave bail for
their appearance in two weeks. Both
cars were somewhat injured. and Mr.
Olson suffered further loss by theft
as tire and spotlight were taken of
during the night.
None of the occupants suffered any
injury outside of minor bruises ex-
Ieept Mrs. Olson, who was thrown part
way through the windshield and cut
and badly not not seriously bruised
There are at least three classes of
drivers whose presence on the high
way is constant menace to them
selves and to every person they meet
the drunk, the road hog and the JOY
rider. These three are the bane of
careful drivers, and the law should
deal severely with them.
About noon Sunday, as Mrs. L. NJ
Thompson and daughter Elizabeth
were driving home from church, they
were ran into at Chase Heights by a
Mr.. 0ehler and party from La Crosse,
who in company with other La Crosse
folks were coming to spend the day
at the Eckhart park Mrs. Thompson
was thrown from the car and sustain
ed painful bruises, but no serious in
jury. 1t is rather difficult to place
blame for the accident upon anyone.
If that death trap corner was just
trimmed up little, and the same
treatment given several other sharp
turns around this vicinity, we would
have fewer auto accidents.

Vir0qua's first citizen is no more
The ruthless scythe of time, sure in its
harvest, has stricken low the mortal
tabernacle of Col. G. NJ. Butt, but the
soul of the grand old man is with his
Maker in glory. Men say that he died
last Saturday afternoon; and yet il
is not death for one to die after having
lived so superbly we'll as did Col. Butt.
His high ideals, his sterling honesty,
his unimpeachable morality, his deep
intellect, broadness of mind and kind
illness of heart stamped him as one
apart and far above the average run
of men. His ability as an attorney
the unnumbered positions of trust and
responsibility which he filed, and his
unfailing interest in all civic better
ments marked him as one of the city's
first citizens. His conspicuous mill
tary services established his right to
place in the states history
Among the bright lexicon of noted
names which Viroqua has given to the
state and nation-G0v. Rusk, General
Rogers, Casson and others-that Of
Col. Butt shins with undimmed luster
with the best Of them. He passes on to
the home eternal in the fullness of a
rich and mature life, like the ripened
grain for the harvest, and leaves to
this community precious heritage
of memory and example. The world
is so much richer for his having lived.
What higher eulogy than thisl
While all the business Of the town
was reverently suspended by request
Iof the council, Wednesday afternoon,
the Masonic brethren marched to the
stately Butt home on the hill, there to
meet with handful of the old army
comrades bent and scanned with the
weight of years, and the old friends
and neighbery, to join in the last SER
vice which the living can be to the
dead. Brothers Parker, Nye, McIn-
tosh and Goldsmith rendered quar-
tette selection after which Brother
Harris spoke briefly Of the character
istics and life of the departed. It was
La wonderfully broad and brotherly ad-
dress, touching upon the Colonel's in
dependent method Of thinking, yet
bearins the great truth that in the
last day it will not be the profess
ions or beliefs of a man, not yet the
opinions Of his critics which will rise
up in judgment for him at the last
trump but the inward workings of the
heart made manifest in the acts of his
life. After a few words Of the Ma
sonic service by Brother Smith, the
procession wendell its way TO our bea-
utiful silent city where all that was
mortal of Col. Butt was consigned to
the profound slumber Of the grave,
the thrilling and impressive Masonic
burial service being used.

Spring is the time when good blood
is so vital to health. If you do not
feel the thrill of Spring in your
blood, if you take no pleasure in
living, if your appetite is poor, your
complexion pallid or muddy, and you
tire easily, you can be pretty sure
your blood is not up to the mark.
So many people feel that way in the
Spring. ESPECIALLY housewives who
have so much work to do. They get
over-tired and rundown -- their
blood becomes weak and thin.
Build up your health now by TAX
ing that splendid Spring tonic.
GUIDES Pepto-Mangan. 1t will give
vital power to the red corpuscles in
your blood. They will go racing
through your blood, carrying fresh
supplies Of oxygen to all the tiny

color and your appetite. You'll take
more interest in things and enjoy
life more. You will stop going
around with that tired, all-gone feel
