Principal G.. W. Davies of the North
Freedom schools will become
county superintendent. A short
time ago Mr.. Snyder was elected to
his position and the appointment
of Mr.. Davies by State Superin-
tendent Cary comes as a most ac-
ceptable valentine and one much
desired by his friends.
Mr.. SnYder's early home was in
the town of Woodland and after
teaching at Walton attended the
Milwaukee normal where he COM
.pleted the course. He then became
the principal of the Sixth Ward
SheboYgan school and went from
there to Spring Green. January
l, 1903, he became the school super
intendent of this county and has
filed all of the foregoing positions
with ability and pronounced sue
cess. The training school board
was exceedingly fortunate in secur-
ing an educator OF so wide an ex-
perience for the proposed school.

Chicago Man Takes Special
Train to Richland Center to
Gain Possession of
Property.

Richland Center, Wis, Feb. s.
Trouble over the mill owned by A.
G. Parfrey and leased by John
Keog of Chicago came to a head
yesterday, and as a result the pro-
perty is now guarded by deputy
sheriffs. Last fall Mr.. Parfrey
leased the mills to John Keogh for
a period of three years, Mr.. Keogh
retaining Mr.. ParfreY as manager
of the plants. Some few weeks ago
efforts we're made to have Mr.. Par
trey adiudicated bankrupt. Mr..
Parfrey fought the case successfully
but on Saturday last made voluu-
tarY assignment. Mr.. Keogh sent
representatives here to take ch arge
of the leased property. who met
with opposition. The agents wired
Mr.. Keogh and he hired a special
train coming to the city from Chi
cago. The sheriff with number
of deputies went to the mill andthe
property was turned over to them.
The matter will be threshed out in
the district court at Madison.

STUFFED WITH
IMPURE FOODS.
(From Friday o DaiIy.)

The people of Baraboo and OF
Wisconsin are in revolt against i'm
pure and adulterated foods. The
large and intensely interested aud
ience at the A. 0. U. W. hall, last
evening, was the evidence for Bara-
boo, and State Dairy and Food In
spector J. @. Emery, who gave the
lecture, says the same is true of the
entire state. He had big exhibit
of adulterated foods that were
shown by an assistant, and the aud
ience gave them a close inspection
after the lecture. Mr.. Emery gave
the mail order houses and peddlers
a hard rap. saying that one reason
why mail order houses are able to
undersell home merchants is be-
cause they sell adulterated goods,
cheating and poisoning those who
buy from them. Farmers who buy
mail order goods must expect to get
cheap stuff.
In his Wddress, Commissioner
Emery suggested a possible menu
for one day that any family in the

ed.
At about 11:30 o'clock today
forenoon, smoke and flames broke
from the large fiue on the interior,
pupils and teachers of the various
rooms noticing the impending dan
ger at about the same time. All
quickly arose and made for the var
ious exits, but with no rush or un-
seeming haste. Some did not
stop for their wraps or books, but
through it all a calmness was dis
played that enabled all to escape in
perfect safety.
An alarm was quickly turned in
at central and the fire boys respond
ed and fought with determination.
The extent of the fire through the
interior walls and under the roof
made it impossible, however,to stay
it's progress more than temporarily,
and gradually it ate it's way from
one part of the building to another
until the whole interior was seeth-
ing furnace. The spectacle when
the flames wrapped the tall cupola
was magnificent and was witnessed
by a large proportion of the city's
population.
From all the evidence at hand, a
defect in the fue was the cause of
the fire.
From the upper floors very little
was saved. A few microscopes and
books were taken from Mr.. Stout's
room, but valuable collection of
minerals and other specimens, and
books, were burned. From the
lower floor it was possible to rescue
nearly all the records, books and
other equipment.
The building was erected in 1869
at cost of over $4,000. George
Holah, who is now very i'll, had
charge of the brick work. While a
good building of that day, it had
long ceased to be a modern build
ing and had been severely comdem-
ned by educators and others cap
able of Judging. The heating and
ventilation were very bad and the
school population had SO out grown

FIRM
At Sauk City Fails with Much
Due.
Urom wednesdays DaiIy.)

G. Kuoni & Son of Sauk City have
failed. The news comes with great
surprise as the firm was one of the
oldest and supposed to be the most
substantial in this section of Wis
consin.
For some time payments have
been slow so at last a number of
creditors forced the firm into in
voluntary ba nkruptcY and Atty.
T. r. Bentley of Baraboo, was ap-
pointed by the United States court
as receiver. He took possession
yesterday morning.
The claims against the firm will
reach $30,0000O or $35, 100000 and
possibly more. The assets do not
amount to more than $4,000 so
that by the time all of the court
expenses are paid and allowance
made for shrinkage, the creditors
will not receive more than one
third of the amounts due them.
Besides claims in Chicago and
other cities where goods have been
purchased, considerable is due peo-
pie about Sauk City and to the
bank at Prairie du Sac and sSauk
City. Many small loans has been
made, it is stated.
Some mortgages have been given
lately to some of the creditors and
whether or not these will stand
will probably be left for the courts
to determine.
The firm was the repository for
the funds of the Sauk City Canning
company, the Wisconsin Creamery
company and the Troy and Honey
Creek Telephone company. The
canning and creamery companies
will lose but the telephone company

| the dimensions of the school rooms
THAT the pupils were crowdedin like
sardines in box. A new building
was badly needed and would have
been put up several years ago had
not the water question come to the
front with the conseq uent bonding
of the city for the purchase of the
plant. The barracks back of the
old building were built as tempo
rary relief.
The insurance upon the building
is $16, 900, distributed among sew
eral agencies in the city. A few
hundred more were on the furniture.
The loss sustained is a matter of
conjecture. The building was fit
only for school purposes, and for
those purposes, at the present time,
it was worth much more than SIG,
600 to the city.
The old building is so completely
destroyed that new one will be
necessary. To build it, it will be
possible for the city to issue about
$66, 600 in bonds, which with the
SIG, 900 insurance will make availa-
BILE about $4,000. The assessed
valuation of Baraboo is, in round
figures, $3,68O,OO0 and the state
law allows bonding to the extent
of 5 per cent, or $184, 900. The pre-
sent bonded Indebtedness Of the
city is 1929, 900, of which So, 900 will
be paid this year.
The Board of Education will meet
at once to provide expedients for
temporary school use. It is proba-
BILE that with the higher classes
much studying will be done at home
with recitations in rooms in some
public buildings. The basement of
the library is one probable place,
and there are various churches
and the Y. M. G. A. to look to.
Barabso's old public buildings
have gone in pretty regular success
sion, in the last few years, and
now a beautiful new High school
building will be added to the others
of up-to- date architecture and
equipment.
After about four hours of burn
ing, there was little left of the
place where SO many lessons have
been learned, except the brick
walls that resisted the flames and
protected the adjacent buildings.

United States might possibly use.
This was to show the extent of the
use of artificial coloring and antisep'
tics in food. A surprising array
of figures was given. He spoke upon
the kinds of food adulteration, OF
the origin and evolution of the
Wisconsin Food laws, the enactment
of such laws by Wisconsin and
other states. He quoted the food
law of Wisconsin which defues
adulteration of foods. He discuss
ed the extent and character OF
food adulteration. He particulariz-
ed on the use of artificial coloring,
chemical preservatives or antisep-
tics and the misbranding or false
labelling of foods. He described the
agency provided by the state for
the enforcement of the Dairy and
Food laws, and the scope of the
work. He described the necessity
and character of a National food
law.
The exhibit of adulterated foods,
made in illustration of his address
was an eye-opener. It was unique
and educational in it's character.
The exhibit showed not only what
confronts the Dairy and Food Com
mission in it's efforts to secure purity
of food products, but what con-
fronts the people of the state and
country as well. It was an ocular
exposition of some of the multitud-
inous methods of food adulteration.
One feat ure of the exhibit is to
show the extent of the use of arti-
fetal coloring in the adulteration OF
foods. The general public has little
knowledge as to the extensive use
of artificial coloring in manufacture
Ell food products. A partial list of
foods in which artificial colors are

the immense amount of these foods
