Of Barabooans go to the Cir
Gus at Madison.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

More than six hundred tickets
were sold this morning to Baraboo
people bound for Madison to see
Ringling Bros circus. The crowd
was so great that four extra
coaches we're added to the train
and then the load was so heavy
that it was necessary to secure an
extra engine in order to haul the
train. After some delay the double
header steamed away with the
hundreds of anxious people to see
the greatest show on earth. With
those who had passes and with those
who went on later trains during the
dav it is estimated that more than
a thousand people went from Bara-
boo to the renowned attraction.

PHEM OM EN- Al
Record by the Chicago &
Northwestern.

The operating department of the
Northwestern Road made a phen-
omenal record during the month of
May in handling both freight and
passenger trains, says the Record
Herald. The figures, which were
made public yesterday, are all the
more remarkable from the fact
that all trains in and out OF the
Wells street terminal have to be
handled over the Kinzie street
bridge on two tracks.
In and out of the Wells street
station there were 1914 suburban
trains handling 864, Al passengers.
In addition to this were the through
passenger trains, 2,100 in number,
making a total of 7,414 passenger
trains running regularly in and out
of this depot. During May the
records show that the inbound
trains 972 per cent reached the
depot on time, and but l per cert
were more than ten minutes late.
Of the outbound trains, 974 per
cent reached outside terminals on
time, and but l per cent were more
than ten minutes late.
Record in Fast Freight.
In fast freight movement, of
which this road handles a greater
percentage out of Chicago than
any other road in it's territory, "a
per cent of the outbound trains
passed over the division less than
thirty minutes late, which is practi-
cally on time, and 80 per cent of
the inbound traffic was less than
thirty minutes late.
The daily number of trains of all
kinds in and out of Chicago varies
from 200 to 230 each wav, or from
400 to 400 trains in and out averag-
ing 420 trains each day. In the
passenger service there is a move
ment of l 800 cars every day and in
the freight service 1000 cars.
Over the Kinzie street bridge
there are an average of 979 train
movements each twenty-four hours.
In the interlocking tower controli-
ing the movements of trains, and
engines at this point there are
5,496 switch lever movements and
4, 467 signal movements daily.

PICNIC
BY the Select Knights of
America.
From Thursdays Daily.)

About 1000 people were presen'
yesterday afternoon and evening a
the Cliff House to enjoy the picnic

donkey Came" Miss Weber secur-
ing the first prise, a souvenir of
Baraboo, and Erwin Newsome

of refreshments we're served on the
ground and everything went of
without a hitch, each one reporting
very enjoyable time. This is the
first picnic given by the society in
five years and owing to this grand
success, it's members feel assured
that it will become an annual affair.
The drill team of the order gave
two very fine exhibitions, one in
the afternoon and one in the even
ing. This team is composed of 48
active members, but owing to the
little floor space only twelve took
part, under the command of Col.
J. J. Diedrick of Chicago, who is
spending several weeks here, drill
ing the team. There will soon be
a match drill with the M. W. A.
team.

cessions. At present this
society has 200 standing members

The city council met informally
last night to investigate the water
meter question in connection with
the specific form of register that
will be used when the municipality
assumes the ownership and opera
tion of the water plant. Willis N.
Calkins, agent of the National
Meter Co., of Chicago, was present
and explained the workings of three
varieties of meters. He showed
the models of the various kinds,
and gave the relative merits of
each one. The council did not
take any definite action on the
question of the selection of the
meter to be used in the new plant.
Secretary Garfield lost one of the
records belonging to the Sauk
County Odd Settlers association
some days ago but has great faith
in finding lost articles. A number
of years ago he lost a five dollar
gold piece and some weeks after
ward picked it up where it had
dropped. When he returned from
the Pacific coast last spring he
found that he was minus another
gold piece of the same denomina-
tion but was again fortunate in
finding the missing property near
his residence where it had fallen.
DR.. SaYles of Shell Lake, was in
Baraboo this week and made
arrangem ents to locate here. His
office will be in the Baringer build
ing in the rooms recently vacated
| by DR.. Koch. DR.. Cramer expects
| to move to the same location also.
DR.. Sayles has been located at
Shell Lake for a number of years
but the cutting of the timber has
greatly decreased the population
there. He has just completed a
special course in Chicago. His
family, consisting of a wife and
child, will come to Baraboo as soon
as a residence can be found. The
moving of DR.. Hilliard from North
Freedom to Baraboo increases the
fraternity by two in the Gem City
this month.

Frank Capener, a son of Alfred

Frank Capener, a son Of Alfred
ECapener of the town of Caledonia,
has solved the problem of raising
ginseng. Several years ago he began
the culture of this valuable plant
in a small way, and has increased
his efforts until now he has several
thousand in shaded beds, some of
them being almost ready for market.
The young man has studied the
natural conditions surrounding the
growth of ginseng in its wild state
and has provided for his nursery a
leafy mould and a latticed shade
that give the encouragement
necessary for a sturdy growth.
Ginseng is the medicinal root so
highly priced by the Chinese, and is
worth several dollars a pound.
Indians spend much time searching
for it in the woods.

A Splendid Record.

During the past school year sys-
TEN of perfect attendance certifi-
cate has been in use in the district
and graded schools of Sauk county.
Every pupil who attends school for
one month and is neither absent nor
tardy during that time receives a
small but neat certificate of attend
ance signed by the teacher and
superintendent After securing six
of these certificates of attendance
a child is entitled to a large certi-
ficate cf award on which is the
American eagle, seal of Wisconsin,
seal of county superintendent, and
the signature of the teacher and
superintendent. Up to the present
time more than 1900 of the small
certificates have been supplied to
teachers and more than 500 of the
large ones have been claimed by the
children. Teachers seem well pleas
ed with the system and If it has re-
suited in material improvement in

ent does not regret that the system
has cost considerable in time and
