CHAUTAUOUA SUCCESSFUL

The Redpath Chautauqua at Viro-
qua closed its FIVE days Of entertain
naent in Viroqua Tuesday evening, be-
ing favored with the best attendance
of any year since ehautanqua first APP
peared in the city, and 1t Is tie con-
census of opinion of the large crowds
which attended that the quality of the
talent this year has been uniformly
higher than any we have enjoyed in
the past.
The big outstanding number Of the
whole program was, of course, the
play, .Friendly Enemies" and il was
guperbly presented by highly talent
ed caste, to the delight Of the large
audience. Probably the most effective
musical number was the Marimbo nov
city band. These xyIophone artists
have repertoire of over 800 selections
and favored the audience with any
number that was called for. But lit
tie behind them in artistic finish was
the Zedeler Quartette.
Never in the history of local ehau-
tauqua have we been favored with lee
lures Of higher quality whose themes
have provoked such healthy and uplift-
ing discussion on the part of so many
people as was the case this year. The
king pin among them was DIR. Frank
Dickson with his "Tools of Democras
cy"--a most able plea for progressive
changes in our governmental system
Chautarlqua Is assured for next year
and faf more satisfactory arrange
ment made. In the past the work Of
putting the chautauqua across has
fallen upon a few individuals who have
neglected their business and worked
their heads off selling season tickets.
Now, 106 individuals havye agreed to

At a meeting of the Organization
Committee of t h e Tobacco Pool at
Madison on last Friday it was found
that the 75se required to handle this
years crop had been obtained. Over
200 delegates were present, mostly
from Dane and Rock counties.
At this meeting it was decided by
the temporary board of directors to
try to obtain the services of Aaron
Sapiro to organize the State Pool.
Mr.. Sapiro organized the Fruit Grow
ers' Association of California and al
so the Burley Tobacco Growers Of
Kentucky He is a genius as an or

The Division of Markets are work
ing on the redistrieting Of the dis
tricts, in order to prepare for the cleo
ton of directors which will probably
be held within the next six weeks.

ties are entitled to directors, and
the problem ofthe Division of Markets
will be to properly divide this section
into 5 districts. Each one of these
districts. are entitled to one director

MISS VANCE FOR CLERK

The second woman candidate in YER
non politics this campaign is in the
ring, Miss Minnie NJ. Vance, announc-
ing In this issue her determination to
seek the Office of County Clerk.
During the three long years that her
honored father, Veteran John M.
Vance, was helpless invalid previous
to his death, Miss Minnie had all
the responsibility of the Office of town
clerk Of Sterling on her shoulders, and
discharged the work SO well that the
voters of that town have seen fit to
elect her as clerk for the past two
years. This training well fits her for
the Office she now seeks. Miss Vance
is a high type of woman, possessing
the wholehearted respect and conf
dence Of the community where all Of
her life has been spent.

GAYLORD STEWART HAS
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

No man has ever come closer to
death ON two counts and lived to tell
the tale than did Gaylord Stewart
when on Monday afternoon he was
struck by tie inbound Milwaukee
train TT the bid crossing above the
county farm. The forward part of
his car was badly wrecked and he was
thrown from the car, striking the cat
tleguard fence just behind the slop-
ing guard which alone prevented him
from going under the train and being
ground to death. He was thrown
against the fence with such force that
three boards were broken, and one of
the splinters penetrated his neck, lay
ing bare the jugular vein. A hairs
breadth deeper would have severed the
vein and caused certain death, so that
even bad as the accident was the
young man is heartily to be, congratu-
lated over the fact that he is<alive and
apparently suffered no serious injury.

A FINE ATTRACTION

Manager Brown is to be highly con-
graduated on bringing to Viroqua
such high class attractions as the Met
ropolitan Quintette, which entertained
large audiences at the fine new Tenn
pie Theatre the last three nights of
last week. What's the need of going
to Lacrosse or any of the big cities
when Manager Brown is so enterpris-
ing as to bring them to US fresh from
the cities. The Censor hopes that the
general community will give him that
loyal patronage which the new theatre
and its sterling artistic attractions
merit.

THAT AWFUL SMATl

Then Bunny Kuehn--the mighty
Casey-at the bat, with the Viroqua
fans down on their knees entreating
him to lose it in the tall grassl Did
he do it? Well, we should smile!
He met the first ball on the nose and
it cleared the score board in center
field by thirty feet.
The diamond was fearfully muddy,
and Bunny slipped and fell at second
base, but he was safely across home
plate before the two felders finally
found the pill in the tall grass few
feet from the race track. 1t was prob
|ab1y the longest hit ever made on the
local field, and a dramatic and fitting
end tosa game filled with thrillers and
|heartbreakers for the fans. Score d
to in favor Of yiroqua.
The game was faarred by consid-
cradle rag-chewing by the Montagues,
their pitcher especially trying to ride
Umpire A. E. Smith, but the Viroqua
fans know just how successful any
body is, either on the ball field or else
where, who attempts to get the goat
of our popular Mayor-and Pitcher
Childs finished the game meeker than
"a little lamb.
Hastings pitched a fine game con-
sidering the awful blow he received
on the side of the head in the game
on the Fourth, striking out six, walk
ing three, hitting one, and being nick
ed. for nine hits. Childs walked four,
struck out six and was touched for
seven hits. Each team had two field
ing errors chalked up against them,
which is very clean showing consid-
ering the muddy grounds and slippery
ball. The Viroqua boys worked in a
way that filled the fans with pride.
Their victory over the Montagues
evens up the defeat they received at
the hands of this team at Lacrosse
two weeks ago.
Next Sunday, Sparta comes here.
Our boys have defeated them once by
a 3 to score, and the contest prom
ises to be a warm one.
