PIONEER DAYS AGAIN.
Celebration of the Fiftieth Ami
versary of the Settlement
Of New GIaruS.

New Glarus, Wis, Aug. l6.-ISpeciall
Today was great day in the village
of New Glarus and one that will long be
remembered by it's inhabitants and the
numerous visitors who were present from
different parts of this and several other
states. 1t is the fiftieth anniversary Of
the settlement of the colony here, which
IS generally known as tie Swiss colony
OF New Glarus. 1t was on the 10th day
OF August, 1915, that the advanced body
OF that hardy and courageous band OF
pioneers who first settled here arrived
and lay down to rest beneath the open
sky after most tedious and trying jour,
ney of more than eighteen weeks
The celebration held here today is the
cOmmemora ton of that event The
days proceedings began by gathering
at the DEPOT az 9:45 a. m. to meet the
crowd of visitors who arrived on the spe,
cial train from GAINESVILLE, Monroe, Brod-
head, Albany, Monticello and other
points. From the depot the procession
marched to the schoolhouse, from the
steps of which addresses of welcome
were made by the president Of the day,
L. {. Hefty, and S. A. SCHNEIDER. Aft,
er the addresses of welcome the process
sion marched through the principal streets
and then repaired to the grove at the
north side of the village where the chief
held and in which had been built q pict-
uresque log hut after the style of the
huts built here in the early days The
exercises at the grove were opened with
prayer by Rev. Lutz of the Swiss
Evangelical church, after which a memo
rial address was made by the Rev. T. j.
Etter of the Swiss Reformed church.
This was followed by an Grafton by
Thomas Luchsinger of Monroe, after
which THE Fatherland" was sung by
the New Glarus choir. Music by the
Primrose COrnet band concluded the ex-
ercises of the forenoon.
An attractive and amusing feature OF
the afternoon proceedings was the street
parade in which was an emigrant wagon
loaded with emlgrant trunks, boxes, ETC.,
drawn by a mule team, iIlustra ting the
arrival of the first emigrants here fifty
years ago. Another striking feature Of
this parade was primitive sort of wag-
on, the parts of which were made wholly
of wood. which was drawn by an OK
team, after the manner of the early days
of the colony when they had neither
horses nor articles of iron. The princi-
pal orator of the afternoon was John
Luchsinger of Monroe, who spoke III
English. This being a Swiss-speaking
speaking of the day were in German.
The material progress of the fifty years
of the colony was illustrated by an eXhi-
bition of the various tools and methods
of industry used in the first and inter-
mediate days of the colony in compare
son with the tools, machines, wagons and
carriages of the present time, even the
bicycle being introduced to emphasize
the marked contrast between the pres
cnt time and that of fifty years ago.
The days proceedings were interspersed
and enlivened with music by the Monroe,
Belleville and Primrose COrnet bands.
The stars and stripes and the Swiss ma
tional flag formed leading feature of
the decorations

which increased until it seemed my head
would burst. My ears rang, and palpa-
tation of the heart set in, SO that the
slightest noise would set my heart
humping. Several times it has rem

matlsm extended up my side until it

NEWSY NOTES.

Since 1894 the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania has expended S9,974, 900 for the
care and education of soldiers orphans.
No other state has equalled or ap-
preached this record.
Owing to the killing frost last January.
the orange crop in Florida, which usually
begins to reach the market in large qnan-
tity about this season of the year, is al
most a complete failure. The crop this
year will not be over 100, 900 boxes,
whereas an average crop is in the neigh
borhood Of 5, 100000 boxes. The Jamaica
orange will arrive soon after the holi-
days. Later we will get the fruit from
Sicily, from Valencia, Spain, and finally,
from California.
The most accurate petroleum statistics
that can be obtained place the total pro-
duct of the United States in 1894 at 49,-
344, 900 bbls. Although Pennsylvania is
still the largest producer of any State,
she falls short by over $500, 900 bbls. OF
supplying halt the entire product. Her
output was ls,O7s, ,4i6 bbls. That of some
of the other states, in round numbers,
was; Ohio, l6,792.OOO; West Virginia,
s,577, 900 +; Indiana, 3,6ss, 900; New York,
$4,000; California, 7O5,OOO; Colorado,
$4,000; Kansas, 10000.
