LEGAL FIGHT
OVER $3.50
OSCAR GlLLOTH SUMMONED TO
PAY POLL TAX-WlNS FIRST
ROUND WITH LAW.
CITY HAS POLL TAX ORDINANCE
Carried Circuit Court on Writ of
Certiorari-Must Wait Till
September.

A writ of certiorari has been sued out
by Oscar Gilloth through his attorney,
V. Ii. Cady, in the circuit court by the
order of Judge Stevens on account Of
an error in the garnishment of Oscar
Gilloth's wages to collect his poll tax
which he refused to pay, and which is
said to be due the city of Baraboo.
Along in April, Marshal Buckley, in
accordance with the special poll tax
ordinance of the city, issued several
summons to those delinquent on their
poll taxes. That of Oscar Gilloth was
among the number. Mr.. Gilloth has
had some legal experience and chose to
contest the matter. A judgment was
secured, however, against him April IL,
in the original action, in the police
court of Justice P. J. Gemmill, on an
execution made returnable in 20 days.
Inasmuch as an execution cannot be
returnable, according to the statutes, in
any other time than 80 days, Mr..
Gilloth claims that the judgement is
void and has accordingly sued out a
writ of certiorari on the order of the
circuit court, to be issued by the clerk
of the court. The case will come up for
final settlement in the circuit court ia
September. Mr.. Gilloth is employed as
fireman by the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railway.

What BarabOO Needs
BY ED L. LUCKOW,
President Of Ten Thousand Club

[ am not quite as fond of "Writin'
things for the newspapers" as [ was
when ] used to prepare High School
Hits for the local papers in "boyhood's
happy days" "a long time ago, of
course), for | have even neglected re
cent requests for stories on How Old
Is Ann, Why Roosevelt Should or
Should Not Have a Second or Third
Term, What Is a Democrat. ETC., etc.
However, / do not believe in disap-
pointing an editor of a local newspaper
when he makes a request, so here goes:
What BarabOO Needs? Great HeaV-
ems! Wish you had asked me what
BarabOo does not need, and it would
have seemed easier to reply to the
query. Nevertheless, | shall make an
attempt. Now, there may be those
who will charge me with having look
ed over list of symptoms and then
reached the conclusion that BarabOO
has all the known ailments. That's
not so, but if / have guess coming,
will say that the disease most preVa-
lent IS that of kicking-nOt the kind to
be seen in opera houses (you know we
are not exposed to that here but the
wall of the faultfinder-the fellow who
takes the peSsimistic view of matters
pertaining to his home city rather than
the optimistic view, and then keeps
busy spreading the germs among those
with whom he comes in contact. And,
do you know, / really believe it's
catching, for there appear to be more
suffering with the complaint than ever
before. When those who are afflicted
come in contact with the outside
world, the greater harm is done, for
when a person speaks to strangers
about troubles at home, knocking ones
home city-the stranger Immediately
makes up his mind that he would not
locate in that kind of acity-one which
has so many ills-whether he be a
manufacturer, business man or re-
tired capitalist. But, tell him about
the many advantages, and he immedi-
ately becomes interested and, every
thing else being equal, begins to think
the town pretty good sort of a place
in which to locate and he puts it on
memory's map, and some time he may
go to that city with view of locating
there, or will give the information to
some other person at an opportune
time. That's the way villages and
cities are huilt up-by passing the
word that it's mighty good place in
which to locate. That's the way our
country as a whole has been built up.

large growth until we secure them. I
know city which, till seven years
ago, had little manufacturing 1t had
one woolen mill, one cotton mill and
one iron company. Now it has various
marble mills, furniture factories, cloth
ing factories, and several other kinds,
What has been the result? The popu-
lation has had phenomenal growth,
If we could have a shoe factory,
uniture factory land one or two others,
1--WE could easily add one thousand to
our population in short time. We
could not do better thing than to
give free sites, exemption from taxes
and other inducements to such estab-
lishments. We need more railroad
facilities. Who ever heard of any
place becoming very large with but a
single line? Give us another railroad
and you will help us several steps to-
ward the goal of the Ten Thousand
club.
Baraboo needs more progressive
spirit. Let us not forget that we are
living in the twentieth century. All
slow folks must go to the rear. Ultra
conservative people are bad things to
have around. Lowell saw matters
right when he declared that once to
every man and nation comes moment
to decide. And Shakespeare had kin
dred thought in saying that there is
a tide in the affairs of men which,
taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
And now, having spoken of these
material things, do not accuse me of
turning preacher when say that Bar
aboo needs nothing so much as she
needs righteousness. Any man with
his eyes half open can see that. Right
eousness exalteth nation; rig hteous-
ness tendeth to life. We need a revival
OF religion that will turn us from our
idols OF sin and worldliness to the
true and living God; a revival that will
melt and purify and mould the hearts
OF men into the image of Christ.
This is what have to say; ponder
it; something's you will agree with,
something's you will disagree with;
but think it over.
The Baraboo news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1884-1911, 1907-05-22

We have good churches, good schools,
and fine people. We have the eli
mate for health and the location for
beauty. We are proud of our city and
have no hesitancy in saying so.
A modest girl went to the confess
ional and told the priest she had
kissed her intended. He asked, Chow
many times, Bridget" She replied,
"Holy father, [ am here to confess, not
to boast" Mr.. Editor, we are here to
confess, not to boast. We know more
about our defects and needs than any
enemy could possibly tell us.
We need larger view of public life.
Public affairs are left to those who
choose to participate in them. We are
too much absorbed in our own affairs.
Something of towering Importance has
to come up to arouse us to a sense Of
duty. Some good men refrain from
taking an active part in public affairs
for the same reason that one who loves
cleanliness hates to handle that which
is filthy. But it must be done if
things get better. Roll up your sleeves,
and pitch in.
Baraboo needs more manufacturing
establishments. We cannot hope for

| When a foreigner comes here and gets
his bearings, it is not long ere he COM
municates the good news to those
whom he left behind, and soon one or
more members of the family put in an
appearance; then comes a friend and
he boosts some more, and thus whole
colony has been known to settle in a
certain portion of this great and glori-
GUS country in a reasonably short
time. An outsider can knock a town
and it won't hurt much, but a person
can do his home city considerable dam
age by having his little hammer out
and using it on nearly all occasions.
For instance, it takes sharp knock to
break an egg from the outside, but a
weak little chick with it's soft bill can
easily break the shell from the inside.
Just that way with city. So what
Baraboo needs is more boosters and
something OF somebody to cure the
constant kicker. [ know little, or am
supposed to know something about
the value of space in a newspaper,
hence feel that | have already made
my reply too lengthy, but "dear edit
orr if we can only strike the right kind
of medicine to cure the chronic kicker
and make Of him a booster, [ think
BaraboO will have procured the one
thing needed more than all others.
Since confession is good for the soul, [
am going to admit that / am mindful
of the fact that [ have many faults,
but there is one to which I'll not plead
guilty, and that is the one of knocking
my home city, andeven though may
be charged with blowing my own
bugle, [ can say, and say it truthfully,
that rarely have missed an opportu-
nifty to say good word for our city
which was pleased to christen Beau
tiful Baraboo soon after entering its
gates, and [ sincerely hope that [ may
be able to pursue the same course in
the future and if not, that [ may have
sand enough to get out. In my hum
BILE judgment it's pretty poor stick
who will continue to reside in place
for which he cannot say a good word.
AS [ understand it, you are going to
call on others to diagnose the case,
What Baraboo Needs), and [ trust
you will find the proper spring tonic,
or a combination of tonics, ere the sea-
son closes, and that Baraboo, the city
beautiful, may grow healthier and
stronger and larger by means of your
playing the part of the good samarit-
an. 'Rah for Beautiful Baraboo and
its future.

P0ST-M0RTEM EXAMINATION.
Young Man Exhumed To Conform To
Law.
(Reedsburg Times J

The remains of Alfred Streek, son Of
Charles Streek of this city, who COM
mitted suicide by hanging at the home
of his brOthOr-in-law and sister, Mr..
and Mrs. Herman Fenske, near Plain,
last November, were taken from Logan
vile cemetery and brought here for a
post-mortem examination. The exam
ination was made by DR.. Rood, assisted
by DIR. [. T. Thompson, Sunday morn
ing. The skull was opened and the
brain examined, the congestion of the
same together with marks still notice
able around the neck confirming the
findings of cOroner's inquest at
Loganville shortly after the death.
After the examination the remains
were inferred in Greenwood cemetery.
1t appears that the young man, who
was 22 or % years of age, had gone to
the home of his sister and the day
after his arrival he hanged himself in
the barn. No cause is known for the
deed, other than fit Of dependency.
Instead Of having a coroner's inquest
at the scene of the act, the remains
were taken to Loganville and an in
quest held there. No medical exam
ination was made. To set at rest any
question as to the cause of his death
and to comply with the law, Sundays
examination was made.
