To Mexico a Most ENJOYABLE
One.
(From Fridays Daily.)

Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. Grotophorst
have returned from their trip to
Mexico and the Misses Margaret
and Luise Gattiker willsreturn in a
day or two. The last named are
visiting some friends on the way.
The Baraboo visitors to the south
accompanied DR.. Ochsner of Chi
cago, to the plantations in which
the surgeon has Llarge interests.
One of the plantations contains
$4,000 acres and the other one
about 100000 acres. The smaller
of the two belonged to an old Span
ish general at one time and the
house is built like all of the struc-
lures in that country. Over 1000
head of cattle roam over the hills
and there are great fields of corn,
beans and other products. A tract
of 500 acres was cleared last year.
There are two kinds of productive
palms, the one bearing the cocoa
nuts of commerce and the other
producing a smaller nut used in
making soap, oils and other pro-
ducts. The larger plantation con-
tains valuable timber.
Mr.. Grotophorst says that the
climate in that region is beautiful.
During the four weeks they were
there the days and nights were
much like September weather in
Wisconsin. The thermometer never
goes below 60 degrees but the
summer days are very warm.
The leaves on some of the tropi-
cal trees grow to be 100 feet long,
a fine and graceful appear
ance. Where there is plenty of
rain it is not uncommon to see ripe
corn, corn ready TO cut and corn
being cultivated at the same time.
The natives are indolent but
some of them are adopting Amer
ican ways. This is especially true
in the Old City of Mexico. An
American colony there is producing
some rapid changes.
The entire distance to the plan
tation can be covered by trains ex-
cept sixty miles and the road is be-
ing built between Texpan and Cal
ina to connect the ends of two
lines and when finished will give a
direct market from the plantations
to the north.

Conductor Richard B. Maloney
and Miss Millicent M. Hackett were
married yesterday afternoon at the
home of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Davis Hackett. The cere-
mony was pronounced in the pres
ence of only the near relatives by
Rev. J. E. Sarles, pastor OF the Con-
gregational church. The happy event
occurred at three o'clock and after
wards delicious refreshments were
served. Mr.. and Mrs. Maloney left
on the afternoon train for a wedding
journey through Dixie. The bride
wore gray travelling gown. After
the bride and groom return from
their wedding trip they will be at
home at 519 Thild d street where Mr..
Maloney owns a fine residence.
For some time the bride has been
connected with the Fan Claire
schools and was one. of the most
popular workers of that city. Mr..
Maloney is one of the capable con-
ductors on the Chicago and North
western. Both have many friends
who extend sincere coDgratula-
tions and trust that they may en-
joy many years of happy sunshine.

materially decreased their elevation.
On the excursion in question it was
decided to open the fourth mound
from the north or No. 6 in the
group. A trench about two feet
wide was dug from the north edge
of the tumulus to the center, the
bottom of the opening being on a
level with the surrounding surface,
The mound was one mass of black
earth or loam.
Bones Found.
At a depth of four feet and two
inches, charcoal was found. This
was five feet from the center of the
mound. Several sticks of charcoal
were unearthed lying crosswise, and
about 18 inches from the center of
the tumulus a mass of charcoal one
foot thick was discovered. Partly
above and partly below the char
coal was d layer of reddish sand re-
sembling clay, soft and irregulally
placed. Several charcoal sticks
slanted in various directions.
Under the mass of charcoal and
almost IN the center Of the mour d,
a tooth, pieces of skull, fragments
of arm and pelvis bones were also
uncovered. A thigh bone extended
in an easternly direction. All of
the bones we're two inches below
the charcoal and we're on level
with the surface of the ground sur
rounding the mound. The tooth and
bones we're badly decomposed and
readily crumbled into dust. No i'm
plements of stone or other material
were found. There is no doubt but
that the mound is a tomb.
A Strange Custom.
From what was found in this
mound and what has been dis
covered in similar tumuli it can
