PASSING OF MRS. DAVIS
McuRNED BY ENTIRE SOUTH.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
winds breath,
And stars to set, but all
All seasons are thine own, Oh death"
And thus they are going-very fast.
1t seems of late, the brave men and
heroic women who were the links
which bound the younger generation
to the great civil war tragedy of 1865.
The passing of Mrs. Jefferson Davis
at Hotel Majestic, in New York, few
days ago, brought sorrow to the en-
tire south. Although her last days
were not spent among those who loved
and reverenced her most, still the re-
greet was as genuine as If she had
been removed from the midst of her
beloved people, with whom she faced
the awful period of homelessness, fam
Inc and bloody war, In those never
to-beforgotteu days of 1876.
Her unfailing gentleness and sweet
ness of bearing through the great
trials which fell to her lot, made the
people of the south proud of her as
the wife OF the first and last president
of the Confederacy.
Mrs. Davis was Q woman Of remark

MILLS McKERCHER
Trom Thursday'a Daily.)

Conductor Irving o. Mills and Miss
Katherine McKercher were married
yesterday at the home of the bride in
Grand Rapids. After short visit in
Wausau with relatives of the bride,
the happy couple will be in Baraboo
for few days. They have a home
ready furnished in Winona where they
will go to housekeeping.
This marriage will come as great
surprise to the many friends of the
contracting parties, as even intimate
acquaintance knew nothing of its
coming. Mr.. Mills has lived in this
city for many years, where he has a
large circle of friends, especially in
railroad circles. Miss Nc Kercher
taught in the Baraboo high school the
past two years and it was great re-
gret to all who knew her that her
health compelled her to give up teach
ing. The many Baraboo friends wish
the couple much joy.

,sssS4 IS ing Brothers Show
Is Again in Baraboo
Animals Once More in Winter Quarters
Old Venus Quits the Came

While at Austin, Texas, a large leopard
caught another through the barred
partition and did such damage that
one OF the spotted attractions of the
show went to the happy jungle.
While coming in last night, between
Madison and Baraboo, old Venus, the
octogenerian elephant yielded up the
ghost. She was very ancient animal,
said by Pearl Souders, veritable en-
cyclopedia on elephantology, to have
been at least so or 80 years old. In her
old age she had become petulent and
testy, like some other people.
The wild story that went the rounds
in the press regarding the escape of
ferocious beasts that afterwards in
tested the wilds of Juneau county, was
a bungling piece of invention. There
was not an escape nor an attempt at
escape.

IT LOOKS LIKE A
NEW RAILROAD

It,now looks as if the middle part Of
Sauk county is to get out into the VIC.
If the surveying now going -
Lime Ridge, Black Hawk, Wituen
and on to Sauk City means anything,
it is that trunk line is projected to be
built from Lacrosse to Madison, by
the way of the central part of Sauk
county.
Last week party of nine surveyors
was running line from Lime Ridge
to Sauk City. Early in the week they
were at the former place and on Thurs
day they were at Witwen and on Sat-
urday reached the little city on the
Wisconsin river. They gave out the
information that the line was to be
known as the Lacrosse & South
eastern, and was to run from Lacrosse
to Madison on an air line.
The surveyors started from Lacrosse,
dropped down to Viroqua and thence
made for the capital, on a bee line as
nearly as possibly. At Lime Ridge it
tapped the newly built LaValle & Lone
Rock road. When this road is COM
pleted it will let outof the back country
a number of good towns, as well as
much fertile country, that now are a
long way from market. Witwen is 10
miles from railroad, Plain is s, Black
Hawk is II. All of these will be right
in town. Much excitement is lbeing
by the surveying party,
and the people in the middle of the
county welcome them with open arms.

Season Closes.

Contrary to expectation, the season
ended at Pine Bluff, Ark, by reason of
the severe storm that broke over the
middle south. Two dates could not be
filled and the monster undertaking
was loaded on the cars and started for
nome. The trip to Baraboo was made
without incident, although the wealth
er was foul and threatening. While on
the road meals were served to the work
ing men from the restaurant car, as it
was not possible to use the dining tent.
The officers and performers ate in the
two dining cars that always accompa-
ny the show. All the force of perform
ers, speciality actors and musicians
has dispersed, only the workmen who
are employed at winter quarters
are here.
For next year no mature plans are
made, but it is safe. to say that Ring
ling Brothers will be out with their
of new and novel attrac-
tions. They are not content with past
glOries.

THE SLIPPERY WALKS
GOOD FOR ASTRONOMY
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

For all the clouds and mist of last
night, there were those who asserted
that they saw stars and plenty of
them, too. One we'll known citizen
started home about 8 o'clock, and tho
lightly loaded, took to earth and report
ed that he saw whole constellation.
Another declared he witnessed mag
nificent panorama of the milky-way,
and the night was inky black. The
quality of the exhibition seemed to de-
pend on the posture of the astronomer,
the most favorably attitude being that
in which one naturally lights after his
feet have slipped from under him on
the icy walks. Several contributions
to sacred literature were made on the
streets in the course of the evening.
1t is all on account of the weather.
By far the nastiest day of the season
is upon us. The delightful weather
provided to date, but gives emphasis
to the gloomy outlook. Few farmers
have been in town, and so far as possi-
BILE city folk have kept indoors. Ear
ly in the forenoon the walks were slip
perry beyond use, and pedestrians took
to the middle of the streets. Several
who scorned to walk with the horses,
got good herd bumps when they went
to earth. Trains were late and engin-
eers said they could not make time.
The first real snow storm of the sea-
son began just before the News goes to
press. It is real old-fashioned eX-
position of the beautiful.

MARRIAGE LICENSES.

Cupid has broken loose again, after
being weather-bound for several days.

not. When he did come he was five:

GOAT LOOSE
IN LODGE ROOM.
(From Fridays Daily.)

At the district convention of the
Knights of Pythias last night, the
Illuminating animal familiar to all de-
gree work in secret orders, managed to
escape and two strangers plunged into
the mysteries of the organization.
The castle hall of the local knights
was we'll filled with members from
Baraboo and the valley to enjoy the
occasion. After the work and ceremon-
les there was a smoker and a good
word for the order by Grin Thompson
of Neenah, grand chancellor of the
domin of Wisconsin; by Z. S. Burns of
Milwaukee, grand keeper of records
and seals; by E. G. Gottry of Reeds
burg, grand prelate. There was also
an expression from F. B. Policy of
Hillsboro, who came as the chancellor
command from the youngest lodge in
the state. j. l.. Bonham of Baraboo
provided vocal number and F. E.
Morey enlivened the occasion with his
cornet. The convention was a most
successful occasion.
Besides those already mentioned the
following visitors were present: A.
Coleman, w. A. Stolte, B. J. Hager,
J. C.lSedgwick, A. Randall, F. Young,
Gus Hass, F. Mueller, B. j. Collins,
DR.. /. Thompson, VIM. PAIL, F..

FUN FOR ALL
AT WORLDS FAIR
(From Wednesdays Da1ly.)

Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather there was large attendance
at the Worlds Fair given at the old
Catholic church last evening. Every
body was kept busy seeing the sights
on the main floor, above and below.
United States, Germany, Ireland,
France, and Japan were all represent
ed and besides these there was an art
palace and midway. 1t gave one a
taste of old times to- wander about
among people dressed'in all kinds of
queer toggery and with faces of various
hueS.
Ihe, pictures came largely from the
easels OF the Durward family and were
for many years at the Glen. There
were also displayed choice designs from
the workshop of Miss Kent and numer-
Gus articles from other ladies. Visitors
were given an opportunity to make
choice selections of Holiday presents.
In the basement was a continuous
round of fun from the stage. Burnt
cork, comic songs and other taking
features were in evidence.
The fortune teller told of the happy
days coming those who desired a peep
into the future, and an old fiddle fur
nlshed strains of long ago.

NEW SCHOOL
FOR BARAB0O
(From Fridays Daily.)

The old Catholic church has been
greatly changed inside and made suit
able for parochial school which will
be opened soon. The main portion of
the church has been divided into fou1
sections by means of another floor and
and partitions running lengthwise.
With the basement there is ample
space for an educational institution,
such as is planned. Rev. Fir. Durward
says that at the present time he has
not been able to find teachers, as in all
other vocations idle hands are few.
He hopes to find two or three sisters
in short time that the work may be-
gin.

Another Case.

In this connection it is we'll to call to
memory the case of H. d. Page, at one
time master mechanic at the Baraboo
shops. In some way he discovered that
a certain 40 on the south bluff, claimed
by George Werlich, had never been
entered. Mr. Werlich held it by virtue
of tax deed. Mr. Page Immediately
filed on the land and followed this
official act by physical demonstrations.
He built shack and took possession.
For all the priority of tax-paying and
acts of ownership, Mr.. Page held the
fort until he took up his home in Iowa,
when he transferred his claim to Asa
Bump. Final proofs have not yet been
made on this entry, and such a move
may yet precipitate legal controversy.
The land has good value.
Since this matter has been pending,
the land office at Eau Claire has been
closed and its affairs have been merged
with those of the Wausau office.
Accordingly, the proceedings that were
begun at the former place will be closed
in the lively city north of us.

LAND BEING ENTERED IN GEN.
ERAL LAND OFFICE.
HEARINGS NEXT MONTH
Final Proofs in Four Cases to be
Heard in Baraboo-Seven Vacant
Pieces We're Discovered Five
Years Ago-One Interest
Ing Entry.

Sank county is not so old after all.
1t still has marks of the frontier, and
certain proceedings due to be brought
to issue next month, go to show that
we still have elements of pioneering in
our midst. There will be heard in the
court house, during December, four
cases for making the final proofs on as
many homestead claims. Others are
pending.
These cases came up in peculiar
manner. Early in his administration
as clerk of court, U. G.. Keller discOV-
cred, by accident, that there was a GER
tain 40 acre tract of land in the bluffs
that never had been entered, that the
title was still in the government. 1t
had long been claimed by Jacob Kind
schi of Sumpter, who thought his title
was perfect and complete. Without
hesitation Mr.. Keller had the general
land office, then located at Eau Claire,
check over five townships. This cost
the clerk of court ST. 90 for each town,
which he paid from his own pocket.
This disclosed the remarkable condition
that seven 4Os had never been entered
that they were still in the general
government, although each had sup
posed owner. Mr.. Keller notified
these claimants, who lost no
time in making their entries.
1t so happened that they all were able.
to make the claims, in no case had
more than 12O acres been entered orr
ginaIly by any of them. This was five
years ago, and now they are about
ready to make final proofs and receive
from Uncle Sam the patents that
should have been entered more than
half a century ago.
Those who will make final proofs
are: Jacob Kindschi, Louis Unterholz-
ner, Anna Deiler and Alfred Emory.
Others will come on later. 1t costs an
entry fee of $6.25 and recording fee
of 81. 1t is customary to employ an
attorney, and his fees are to be added
to the office stipends, but the cost is
small compared to the benefits. With
out the entry the claimants had notitle
whatever to the land in question.
Some of the tracts have market value
of $500, and all are good timber lots, a
matter worth consideration when fuel
prices are so fresh in mind.
