It is with pride that the Times takes
occasion to- notice the great improve
ments made III the local firs depart

notable effects is the Improvement Oh
the personel OF the men comprising
the force, the attention paid by them
to the horses and apparatus entrusted
to their care, and the rapid response
made in answer to alarms of fire.
Another marked innovation will'be
the uniforming of the entire force,
adding greatly to the appearance OF
the men, and causing them to present
an acceptable front on all occasions.
The wagons are beng equipped as
rapidly as possible with the latest
designs of fire extinguishers, the ola
hook and ladder truck is being equip

BAPTIST REVIVAL
A!very Successful Series o
Meetings Closed Thursday

The revival services that have been
going on in the Baptist Church for
the past two weeks closed ON last
Thursday night. These meetings
have been the most successful ever
conducted in this city. The efforts
of an experienced or better termed
professional revivalist 20 not used
to awaken the people out of their in
different state, and the work has all
been accomplished solely by their be-
loved pastor, Rev. Vim. A. Borum
Considering this fact together with
the large number that have been re-
ceivei. into that church the result is
very gratifying to the members, and
shows more than words can tell the
great love and fervent zeal that fills
the heart of this man Of God.
All through the meetings his dis
courses have not been marked by any
appeals to the emotions and over
wrought illustrations usually found
in such meetings, but all the good
work has been done in calm and
surer way. The gospel truths we're
expounded in foricful manner and
so clear that child could understand
and be convinced.
Since coming to this pastorate DR..
Borum has been power for good and
we trust that his noble work Will
meet with continued success. Non
church mem bers could do no better
than attend the services at this
church. and a very cordial invitation
ia exended to all to attend.

Is is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greksiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or 'local" treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors. ;" The only

can only be accomplished by keeping

Birds Guided by the Stars.

Did you ever venture any conjecture
as to how migratory birds manage to
keep up their flight in a due north di-
rection after night? 1t has been prov
ed that on clear nights they often
wing their northern fight in the
rarefed atmosphere three miles above
the earth's surface. This being true,
it is clear that guidance by the topog-
raphy of the country is out Of the ques-
ton. How, then, are they able to keep
their beaks pointed toward the north
pole? The scientific ornithologist
comes to the rescue with the declara-
ton that they are guided by the stars
and in support of his opinion cites as
evidence the fact that when the stars
are obscured by clouds the birds be-
come bewildered and at once seek the
ground.

Murder SUSPECTED.

Rhinelander, Wis, Sept. %
Louis Donnerstag, aged 60 years
an old settler who resided at
Woodboro, was brought here to-
dav with his skull crushed in and
two bullet holes in his body.
The information as to his condl-
tion was given by his daughter,
who stated that her father had
committed suicide.
The daughter, together with
Sadie Slack, who had been stay
ing at the Donnerstag home. are
under arrest, charged with gull,
ty knowledge Of the manner OF
Mr.. Donnerstag's death. Hugo
Donnerstag, son, is also want
ed, on murder charge, but he
escaped to the woods before the
officers arrived.
The police suspect that the
man was murdered and accuse
the son and daughter, together
with Sadie Slack of having per-
petrated the crime.
Donnerstag, it is said, did not
approve of his sons attention to
Sadie Slack, and is said to have
chased her from the house with
a knife on one occasion.
Donnerstag is said to have
served term in Waupun on a
charge of killing a $500" line
brakeman about twelve years
AGO. He is also said to have re-
sisted the officers who attempted
to arrest his son two years ago,
when the latter had been
charged With theft by his neigh
bors.
On that occasion the chief of
notice and all undersheriff were
obliged to return emptyhanded.
From appearances the man
was first shot and. not dying in.
stantly, his head was beaten in
with an axe.
