Two Prairie du Chen BOYS Els.
cape Death In Mishap.

Platteville Journal-Last Tuesday
about five o'clock, a car in which
were two Prairie du Chen boys, c.
Adams and H. G.. Jaeggi coming from
Dubuque to Platteville, rolled down
the Hoadly Hill bank, just as they
rounded the turn above the Deiters
home.
!. The boys were coming up the hill
with considerable speed and a drill
machine was coming around the
corner. The car that Adams was
driving was going so fast that it
could not be stopped or slowed down,
and as the machine took up much of
the road, the car went over the bank,
and rolled down some ten or twelve
feet, stopping against a tree.
Adams who was driving the car,
was pinned under it, while his com
panion jumped and escaped injury,
Rev. Lodwick and family were com
ing from Dubuque just as the acct
dent happened and Mr.. Lodwick. the
man with the drill, and the other
young man succeeded in lifting the
car from Adams land he was then
brought to the hospital for treat
ment. His injuries were not very
serious.
The car was badly demolished.

Rotarians, but his question was dl-

they any more to you than the
horses and delivery cars that are a

know anything about the young
men who are co-partners, even
though they are on your list OF en-
ployes? Are you familiar with their

disappointments Do you know
whether they are able to live com

BELASCO PLAYERS
SCORE A HIT IN
HOPWOOD'S FARCE

Washington Is not a city where
long theatrical runs are the rule.
The comparatively small suburban
population ard the fact that Wash
ington sees a good many plays each
season-with three or four openings
a week, almost as many as New
York averages-tend to reduce the
length of run of play to one
week.
The announcement, therefore.
that Getting Gertie's Carter" the
Avery Hopwood farce which last
week received its first Washing
ton presentation at the Belasco
Theater by the Belasco players. will
be continued for a second week is
an index of the popularity of this
hilarious offering, which proved the
talk of New York when 1t was pre-
sented in that metropolis.
During the past season about the
only plays to run two weeks In
Washington were The Bat" the
most sensational mystery melo-
drama of recent years. and The
Boomerang" which was revived by
Arthur Leslie Smith to introduce
the spring ard summer season.
Only real. outstanding hits are
able to go a second week in Wash
ington. In fact in view of the rel
ative populations, 1t may perhaps
be fair statement of the situation
to say that run of two weeks here
sixteen or eighteen performances
lis the equivalent of ten times as
many performances IL, New York.
