Fall From Roof
Fatal For Man


Richland Center-A double acct
dent happened in the city in which
Martin l.. Brenaman lost his life
and Dave Adair suffered a badly
injured foot. The two men had
been engaged to reshingle the Eug-
enc Crary residence on the south
side of the city, and were just clos
up the open place between new
and old shingles when the scaffold-
ing on which they were standing
gave way and they were precipi-
tated to the sidewalk below.
In the fall Brenaman landed on his
head probably on a cement walk,
and so crushed his skull that he
died at the Richland Hospital an
hour or so later. Dave Adair land
ed on his feet and the impact was
so severe that the bones of one of
his ankles are crushed, while the
falling scaffold also bruised him
to some extent.

Fire Threatens
Lodi Buildings

Lodi-Fire, which would have
wiped out the buildings on lower
Main street had it gained greater
Roadway before discovered, broke
out in the building in which the
Bernard Browns occupy the living
rooms and in which A. j. BaySinger
has his tin shop.
No one was in the building at
the time, but the fire must have
started from an overheated stove
pipe.
The fire and water damage was
confined to one room in the Brown
living rooms which Mr.. Baysinger's
shop was damaged by water only.
The building itself was quite bad
ly burned, there being a large hole
in one side wall and the roof.
The smoke and flames gave the
onlookers a feeling that the fire
was doomed but two fOrceful
streams of water promptly turned
on, soon conquered the fire.
The building is owned by Sher-
man H. Hindes.

ANGRY BULL
LaValle Farmer Sue
cumbs at Hospital
Following Injuries

Reedsburg Robert TAFT died
Wednesday morning from the eff
fects of injuries he received from
a bull which attacked him while
doing his chores last Monday eve
ming.
Mr.. TAFT was found in the barn
yard by his wife about six o'clock
and although severely injured he
was able to walk to the house.
Three ribs were broken and his
body severely bruised. The man
was so badly hurt that, though
conscious, he could talk very little
to tell how the thing happened.
He was putting the cattle in the
barn and had part of them in the
stanchions. From the appearance
of the yard there must have been
a terrific struggle and the battle
must have been short and fierce.
Help was summoned at once but
Mr.. TAFT had been severely injured.
Deceased was 81 years old and
lived a mile west of the village of
LaValle. He was highly respect
ed and his farm was only a few
miles from the place where he was
born in the town of Ironton. He
was twice married, his first wife
wife being bbie Dickens, and to
them one son, Guy was born, who
lives near LaValle.
On Oct. IS, 1893 he married Mrs.
Ada Seeley DevereauX and one
daughter, now Mrs. Fern Hoch-
muth, also survives and lives
nearby. Besides his children
three sisters survive. They are
Mrs. Jane Fuller and Mrs. Mary
Devereaux of Reedsburg and Mrs.
Thos. Mccoy Of Miles City, Mont.

My Neighbor Says:

If cream won't whip add one
fourth to one-half teaspoon of
cornstarch to it.
When making meringue add
one teaspoon of cold water and
one-fourth teaspoon of cream
of tartar to the white of egg
and beat we'll until 1t stands up
lightly.
If you will dip the head of a
fruit jar in hot water and let it
stand a minute, then loosen the
wire and use the point of a
sharp knife under the rubber, it
will open easily.
Curtains that are starched
with flour will last longer than
if the ordinary starch is used,
because flour does not rot them
as starch does. Mix three table
spoons of -four to a paste with
cold water, then pour boiling
water on as for proper starch.
This will do two pairs of cur
tains, besides a few smaller
covers, etc.
Earnish and paint stains in
coarse fabrics may be removed
by first saturating them with
turpentine and then washing.
Egg stains on table linen
should be soaked in cold water
before sending the linen to the
laundry. The stains are easily
removed when treated in this
way. Hot water sets" them
and makes them difficult to re-
move.

What TomorrowMeans to You
Taurus.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary ASPECTS, al.
though benign, are not sufficiently ia
vorable to develop optimism, but, on
the other hand, are by no means ai-
verse. In all probability you will ex-
prience a feeling of self-satisfaction
| and serenity without any incentive to
overcome obstacles, or to attempt
things that will count. The only wise
thing to do. under these conditions, is
to put as much of your heart and soul
as you can into the memorable and
sometimes monotonous demands of
daily life. and defer the effort to real.
ize other dreams and ambitions to
some more exhilarating occasion
A child born tomorrow will be
weakly at birth. but this need not
cause either encouragement or anxi-
ETY., as 1t Will possess a latent strength
that its appearance will belle Care
full nourishment and proper care will
do more for this child than doctors
remedies. In disposition it will be
quick to anger, but possess a charm
| and grace that will attract and in
vite 1t will be very popular and will
| learn with great ease-not an I'M
mixed blessing-as that which is gain
ed with facility is rarely appreciated
at its true value. 1t promises to have
very artistic tastes and will always
seek comfortable and, possibly, luxuri-
Gus surroundings. 1t will be more con-
siderate of itself and of it's own COM
fort than Of others and their conven-
fence; its slightly selfish tendencies
will be so nicely tinged with affability
and grace that they will lack the sting
which they otherwise would leave in
their wake.
If tomorrow is your birthday, yolI
are very extreme; compromise is, In
your makeup, a sign of weakness;
federation has no place in your vocabu-
larry. You are quiXotically loyal to
your friends, of whom you have quite
few. Very foolishly you often waste
your time in attempting to even up
for some fancied wrong. whereas the
same time could be employed to much
greater advantage in advancing your
own personal interests.
Your personality is very strong
more dominating than attractive; you
possess an alert and a subtle mind
and have the ability to think quickly
and to act with decision. With your
| many outstanding characteristics you
could attain almost any position on
which your ambitions were centered
