SPEAKS
FOR COLORADO

Out in Western Colorado, nestled in
the beautiful valley of the Grand river,
is little city called De Beque, named
for DR.. De Beque, an old-time friend of
E. n. Marsh of this city. The doctor
had store there at the time when the
refusal of Uncle Sam to adopt double
monetary standard paralyzed the sill
yer industry of Colorado. The doctor
stood for his Republican convictions,
and because he did so, his store was
sent skyward by dynamite. He is
now located in the City of Old Mexico,
engaged in the life insurance business,
and from a letter to his friend Marsh,
we are permitted to make the following
extract.
"After making due allowance for the
delightful climate of Mexico, and for
the many interesting things to be en-
countered here every day in the year,
and, after admitting that this is land
of opportunities, I must say in all
truthfulness; that Col orado after all, is
the best place on this continent for an
American to settle in! There can be
no question about it. And the best
place in Colorado, without doubt, is on
the Grand River, in the western part
of the state. This region was opened
for settlement in 1882. The land is
productive to an indefinite extent, the
water supply is inexhaustable; timber
in abundance; hunting and the climate,
by all odds, the very best in Colorado,
or in any other part of the Rocky
Mountain region! 1t is acknowledged
to be the best fruit region in America,
and the exhibitions, at the st. Louis
Fair, from western Colorado, of apples,
peaches and pears, carried off every
single one of the "First Glass; prizes.
In this above described section of
Colorado, are thousands of acres yet
remaining uncultivated which can be
bought at a reasonable price; but there
is not much government land left
which would be desirable for pre-
emption or homesteading. The man
who needs change ffom the rather
severe climatic conditions of Wiscon-
sin and the adjoining states, on ac-
count Of health; or who desires to
better his financial affairs by honest
conduct and honest work, can find in
western Colorado an ideal home"

THE HEFARvSs,s5dKS
GOOD 10 HIM NOW

From out of Morrisonville comes
this story: Hugh Ramsey, one OF our
most successful farmers, is also very
observant man, and having noticed
that the toadstools on all the old logs
had wrinkles in them, and that all the
one-eyed owls were going south for the
winter, he knew these were two in
fallible signs of a winter cold enough
to freeze the plow handles. So Hugh
thought he would like change from
the regular routine of doing chores on
cold nights and mornings, and go brak-
ing for the railroad. A week ago Mon
day found him braking on a way
freight between Portage and Lacrosse.
One week of hustling freight, twisting
brakes, and waiting four hours on one
of the coldest nights last week just out
side of Lacrosse, before they could get
into the yards, was enough. The
wind was blowing gale and while he
was standing on a freight car those
four hours, cloud of smoke was no.
ticed around Hugh's head, but it is not
known whether it was smoke from a
cigar or fumes of birthstone. Tuesday
morning found him at home willing
to help with the chores.

comfort as to food and clothing. This
he gave to show that the courts are
often imposed upon and the only reme-
dy is to have the other side represent
ed that man or woman may not
swear falsely. Fully so or so per cent
are represented by but one attorney.
HastY Marriages, AastY Divorces.
He said the records showed that
many divorces came about from hasty
marriages. Hasty marriages often re-
suited in hasty divorces.
He said that Baraboo should be
proud of her citizen who framed the
measure requiring five days before a
ceremony can be performed unless a
special permit is granted.
What is needed is more education
and more stringent Jaws to assist in
solving the problem.

Mrs. Wm. Duncan, president; Mrs.
D. A. Lewis, secretary; and Mrs. Henry
NTarriott, treasurer. The reports sho w

All its ventures have proved very pro-
fitable.
A PLEASANT occasion on Tuesday even

BOUNTIES PAID ON
FOXES AND WOLVES
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


For the year ending October 81, there
have been paid an unusually large
number of bounties on foxes and
wolves. The total is 1852, all but $26
being on Reynard. This, at 81 each,
means that Sauk county is poorer in
foxes by 11S. What effect the killing
of so many stealthy animals will have
on the chicken business is not easy to
state, but several farmers are glad OF
the bounty they have drawn. The
largest sum paid at one time went TO
James Nolan of Troy township. lie
captured den of wolves containing a
mother and five whelps and smothered
the outfit. For breaking up this hap
DIV family he was given $40. The state
paws like sum, which made profit
able forenoon's work for Mr.. Nolan.
By the laws of the state each county
is required to pay a bounty OF SlO on
wolf scalps, and the matter OF preml-
um for the destruction of crows, weasel
and other creatures Of supposed bad
habits is left to each county to deter
mine. Sauk has not seen fit to pay for
other than foxes and wolves

WORK ON DAM
NIGHT AND DAY
(Kilbourn Illustrated Events. J


Work on the dam has assumed a
proportion that seems to remove any
doubt Oft being followed to a finish,
without any break except impossible
weather or high water. A large force
of men and teams have been at work
during the past week, and all who
apply are employed. Next week it is
expected that at least $50 men will be
at work in two shifts, one night and
one day. The ground will be wired
for electric lights and light afforded
for night work. Tracks are being laid
for cars to take away the rock from the
excavation, running along2 the river
bank down nearly opposite M. O
Neil's residence. A proposition has
also been made to the village to ar
range similar track to the Broadway
fill, where that work will be complet-
ed at cost of little more than third
of what the present filling was done.
The village board and about everybody
in town interested seem to favor the
plan, the only objection being the lack
of funds. 1t appears to be the general
sentiment that it would be wise to
borrow money and complete the fill,
on terms of so great advantage and in
obtaining rock instead of sand.

FALL FROM CAR
CAUSED DEATH.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Last night at Lytles, while working
about his train, Adelbert Barber, SON
of Brakeman Horace l.. Barber, Second
avenue, was caught between an en-
gine and projecting timbers on car
and crushed SO severely that he died
instantly. He had been working on
the road but short time, although
his father is one of the old-time
brakemen in the service at this point.
Adelbert was fine young fellow,
exceedingly popular wherever known.
He has lived all his life in Baraboo,
except for short trips into Iowa and
the Dakotas. Last summer he was in
Iowa at work with an uncle. He had
arranged to buy a farm in Minnesota
and was working to secure funds for
that purpose. 1t was his intention to
work through the winter as brakemen
and go to his land in the spring The
announcement of the accident caused
a severe shock to his many friends.
The body of the unfortunate young
man arrived this afternoon at 4
o'clock.
Cause of Death Investigated.
At the Chicago & Northwestern
station today an inquiry was made in
to the death of Adelbert Barber who
lost his life at Lytles yesterday. 1t
was first reported that he was killed
by being crushed between some pro-
jecting timber and the engine. From
the investigation it is believed that he
lost his life by being thrown from the
car when the engine came against it.
There were no marks or bruises except
a slight injury on the chin. His neck
was broken and from all the conditions
the foregoing conclusion was reached.

DIVORCE QUESTION
ABLY DISCUSSED.


At the Congregational church on
Thursday evening, Judge E. Ray
Stevens of Madison, discussed the di-
vorce problem. Judge Stevens has been
q delegate for three years to the Nation
<al Divorce congress and has given the
subject much attention. Many of the
local attorneys and most of the jurors
in attendance at this term of court
were present.
I In the beginning the speaker read ex-
tracts from the testimony given in
several instances that had coma before
him for action. They included brutal
2 assaults on the part of the husband
where the man had struck his wife in
the face, where this had continued
from day to day, where wives had
been kicked in the face and body, where
they had been dragged about by the
hair of the head where they have been
broken up in health, where children
had been inhumanly abused and
where the sick wife or child had been
chased from the home into the cold.
In some cases the abused were at the
point of death.
Judge Stevens said there was no
thing in the divine law and nothing
in the civil law that should warrant
continuance of such conditions. In
these cases it were better that they live
separately. The courts ought to step in
and say these conditions no longer ex-
ist. Jails and asylums often receive
Inmates from those environments.
The Remedy.
Often there is no training in the
home and no suggestions until too
late. He said on many Sauk county
FarIns the animals have more care and
attention than the sons and daughters.
The schools, churches and universities
must instruct along this line. The
ghOle question is often in the mar
riage.
There is one weak place in the
statutes. A man or a woman can pro-
cure divorce without the other know
ing Of the fact. When one is absent
the notice is advertised and this is the
only way that the summons can be
served. The law should provide that
in all cases the defendant should be
represented by some attorney. Judge

Skillet Creek Farmers Club.

There was a good attendance at the
Farmers club meeting held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Rumpf,
on Saturday evening. The orchestral
music was as good as ever, and pro-
badly the beet question has not been
more thoroughly discussed at any farm
ers' meeting than it was at this time.
L. D. Burtch, Christler and Peter
Rumpf, each spoke on the subject and
many questions were asked. A full
report of the discussions would be too
lengthy, SO we will say that all the evil
dence was in favor of growing beets as
a money crop. The crop is considered
safe one and there is no uncertainty
about prices. After visiting intermis-
sion the Misses Myrtle Shaw and Alma
Rumpf favored the company with a
duet and were called on for more. The
recitation by Miss Alice Rumpf was
well received.
The next meeting is to be at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Willis Ryan. New
Years subjects, with readings or reci-
tations are to be presented by Mrs.
Willis Ryan, Mrs. f. Minnich, Miss
Alice Martiney and Mrs. Dora Cowles.
Vocal music by some of the eyoung peo-
pie is planned for and America is to be
sung for the closing piece.

OLD TIMERS MEET.

Two old timers, Peter Buck and
Edwin n. Marsh, met in The News
office this morning by accident and
had an hours chat about things that
used to be. Both came to Baraboo in
1s49, and have made the place their
residence since. Mr.. Buck is farmer
on the bluffs, owning one of the pret-
tiest homes in Sauk county. 1t is in
valley on the top of the main bluff,
about four miles southeast of the city.
He has lived on it more than so years.

Stevens stated that in Sauk county
case a woman obtained divorce on
the ground of desertion and no sup
port for the family. She gave testi-
mony to show that the family was
starving and that the children were
without clothes. Afterwards the hus-
band heard of this and produced let
ters written by the spouse to show
that at this time they were living in

And now the Ringlings have also abb
sorbed the great Hagenbeck show,
that wonderful assemblage of trained
animals the like of which never before
