black stallion, Herbert Oh So, a grand
son of Nutwood, having record mile of

Prairie brought up three teams of work

The entertainment under the aus
pices of the Royal Neighbors at Royal
Hall last Friday evening drew the larg
est crowd that has been seen there in a
long while. Mr.. Charles Ellis and wife,
of Rock Island, were the whole show and
and most certainly are character artists
worthy the patronage of any playhouse.
Their entertainment consists of two
''skits," representations of several char
acters, singing and dancing and fur
nished two pleasant hours for those who
attended. The total receipts were 1872,
of which amount the local lodge received

"A town that never has anything to
do in public way is on the way to the
cemetery. A citizen who will do nothing
for his town is helping to dig the grave.
A man that curses the town furnishes
the coffin. The man who is so selfish as
to have no time from his business to
give to city affairs is making the shroud.
The man who will not advertise is driv-
ing the hearse. The man who is always
pulling back from any public enterprise
throws bouquets on the grave. The man
who is so stingy as to be bowling hard
times breaches the funeral, sings the
doxology, and thus the town lies buried
from all sorrow and care.
The Cemetery association has pur-
chased a strip of land adjoining the
present cemetery on the north and east
of August Fritzke, of about five acres in
extent, which will be added to the en-
closure and laid out into drives and lots.
1t is the intention of the association to
arrange a new entrance to the cemetery
on this property, and the matter of lay
ing out the drives and identifying the
cemetery has been turned over to Mr. o.
G. Simonds, landscape gardner of Chi
cago, who is preparing plans for this end
in view. 1t is believed that $1,000 can
be secured from voluntary contribution
to carry on this work and when the i'm
provements are completed Fassett GENE
terry will be one of the most beautiful
resting places of the dead to be found
anywhere in this section of the state A
representative of Mr. Simonds was here
this week taking a survey Of the prop
erty to aid in preparing the plans.
The string of freight cars that were
piled up in wreck back of the Brill
warehouse Thursday morning of last
week gave the wrecking crew a job that
lasted them three days to disentangle.
There were ten cars of grain that had to
be transferred before the tangled and
twisted mass of iron and broken cars
were cleaned away. 1t was late Satur-
day night before the last of the debris
was picked up and the main line track
relayed. An L. & N car near the center
of the wreck was SO completely demol-
ished that not piece of it was left to
determine the initial or number. Sew
eral others were little better than kindl-
ing wood. One of the wrecking crew
said it was one of the best jobs of COM
plete annihilation he had ever seen done.
Ten thousand dollars will hardly cover
the cost of the accident to the railway
company in repairing the damage to
rolling stock, but it was one of those un-
accountable happenings where trains
will Jump the switch and nobody can be
charged with negligence in the matter.
Old Venus, Ringing Bros octogen-
erian elephant, died on the train between
Madison and Baraboo Wednesday night.
