Archie Hahn Won at Athens.

Archie Hahn Of Dodgeville, one
Of the best sprinters in the world,
and well known in Lancaster,
where he played football with his
home team against the high school
team of Lancaster last fall, is IN
Athens, Greece, as a member OF the
American Athletic team, being a
representative of the Milwaukee
Athletic club and won the 100
meter race in the Olympic games at
Athens last week.
The Americans took the first two
honors in the final heat Of the
great 100 meter dash. Hahn went
away from the tape like a streak OF
scared sunshine, and he helped to
make Milwaukee more famous by
winning in II Is seconds. But he
had to hustle to beat that other
wing footed western lad, Fay MOul-
ton, wearing Kansas City colors,
who ran him close all the way and
finished second, with several yards
to spare. Baker, the Australian
kangaroo, was third.

A California Letter.

Mrs. M. A. Reed has received a
letter from her sister, Mrs. Ander-
son, of Farbestown, Cal, which
gives the following account of the
San Francisco disaster through
which her son and his family barely
escaped:
It suppose you received my letter
last Friday saying a telephone
dispatch of two words. ''All Safe, y
came from Leon to relieve my
terrible agony of suspense after
several days. On Thursday last ]
had them all home-a very worn
out lot from exposure and excite
ment; all are coughing. Della is in
bed today with pleurlsy.
They we're living in the residence
portion, western addition, and
escaped the terrible fire but the
earthquake made the house unsafe
so they had to leave it. They did
not suffer for water or food for the
day before they had laid in a
weeks supply of food. They slept
out of doors until a chance came to
get away. The city was under
martial law, and one lighting even
a match was shot down. Another
building a fire in the street to warm
some milk for her babe was told to
desist. She pre- sisted, and was shot
like a dog; a paper pinned on her
breast as a warning-and left to
die in the street. the gas was
filing the air--sewer gas escaping
was almost certain to cause ex-
blossoms. Oh, it was fearful; one
poor woman brought into the world
twin babies on the sidewalk, mother
and babies dying at the time just
near where Del lived
AS soon as sanitary conditions

DEWEY MONUMENT

After eight years Of delay the leg
islative committee to select a design
for the erection Of a monument for
the late Governor Dewey, at Ian
caster met at Madison Monday and
within a year the monument will
be completed. The famous Italian
sculptor, Signor Trentenove, who
designed the monument of Father
Jacques Marquette met vita the
commission in the executive cham
Der and will se1ect the design.
Until two years ago the grave of
Governor Nelson Dewey at Lancas-
ter was ur marked. At that time
his daughter living in ST. Louis,
erected a small monument, but it
had been the design Of the state six
years before this time to mark the
grave with a suitable monument.
Eight years ago Thomas Mcdonald,
assemblyman from Lancaster, origi-
mated the idea of the state erecting
a monument. A commission was
appointed and S., appropriated.
But somehow the commissions
were inactive. At the recent ses-
sion of the legislature a motion was
made to transfer the money if the
monument was not to be built. A
new committee composed of Cover
Tor J. Davidson, Senator Edward
E Burns, Platteville, and Assembly
men Duncan McGregor, Platteville,
and Joseph P. Chandler, Montfort
was named. All members Of the com

The matter of procuring adj

NAY WEATHER.
What Hicks Says We Are to Have in
Month of May.

Rev. Irl Hicks, the long distance
weather prophet, has now laid down
the weather for the month Of May.
Ii the weather does not follow his
orders it is not his fault. He pre-
diets as follows for balance of the
month: A regular storm period,
central on the 9th, coyers the 18th to
18th. Rapid change to high baro-
meters, westerly gales and much
cooler will follow this series Of
storms, and frosts will visit many
central to northern sections from
the 10th and 18th.
A reactionary storm period is
central on the 18th, 18th and 10th;
the Mars and Mercury disturbances,
blending with this annual tendency,
makes it entirely possible and prob
able that violent to dangerous
storms may appear about the 18th,
18th and 10th.
A regular storm period runs from
the 10Th to the 23rd. This promises
to be the most active to violent
period in May. All through the
central part Of May there is great
tendency at the storm periods to
daily cycles Of storms for a number
of days in succession, breaking up
as a rule with a general, and very
