ASLEEP ON COURT HOUSE STEPS
Officer Buckley Arouses Citizen Who Had Strange
Notion.

Portable, stony spot, stretched himself
out and went to sleep. A short time
afterwards, while the individual was
dreaming of the days when the stone
age was in full blossom and when stone
beds were the proper thing, Marshal
Buckley came along and rudely shook
him out of his slumber. The marshal
then accommodatingly gave Mr..
Andrews an iron bed to replace his inn
provised one. Shortly after Mr.. An
drews' friends came to his rescue and
after his fine of 81 and costs was paid
to Justice of the Peace andre, he was
released.

RESENTATVES MAKE TWO
OFFERS BUT UNABLE TO Sc
CURE LAND
FRANK 'HERF0RT BUYS CANNERf
Purchaser States He intends To Have
Model Plant; Heinz Men
Nonplussed.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The representatives of the Heinz
company, who together with several of
the prominent business men of the city
have eeXertedevery effort in an attempt
to secure an acre of ground situated in
a suitable place for the proposed Heinz
.~ lting station, have thus far been un-
bic to come to satisfactory terms with
lie owners of the several portions of
and under consideration. One of the
representatives stated today that in all
ihis experience he has never worked
lnder as many difficulties in securing
nd for factory site as those present
ed during the past negotiations.
Yesterday, the representatives, j. S.
Graves of Pittsburg, and w. F. Taylor
of Portage, together with e. G. Mar
riott and Postmaster A. p. Cheek, of
this city, after again looking over the
acre of land to the West of Baraboo
canning factory, conferred with the
committee of stockholders of the factory
and stated their willingness to pur-
chase the land. The committee then
stated that the matter would be taken
under consideration and after con-
sultation, the Heinz men were inform
ed that not only the acre of land but
the entire canning factory and site
had been sold to Frank Herfort, one Of
the stockholders and a member of the
committee.
Herfort Buys Factory.
Mr. Herfort, the new owner, was
then approached with an offer for the
acre of land but it is said that he re-
fused to sell at any price or give the
company longer lease than a year on
the land. Mr.. Herfort stated that he
intends opening the canning factory,
making it model plant in every res
pect for.t the canning of corn and peas
and also intends to use this acre of
land in connection with the factory.
The Heinz men, not to be outdone, i'm
mediately made negotiations with E.
III. Roberts of Chicago, for the purchase
of an acre Of land to the south of the
Ringing Brothers paint shop.
Mayor Marriott acting as spokesman
for the party asked of Mr.. Roberts
the price he placed on the property
and according to the Mayor, Mr.. Rob-
erts agreed to sell the land for $3.50.
This morning, empowered by the
Heinz people, Mayor Marriott offered
Mr.. Roberts the amount named for
the land but the offer was refused. "I
want 81 200 now," was the owners
only explanation. The matter was
dropped Immediately as the prospec-
tive buyers refuse to pay that sum of
money for the land and state that they
have several other pieces of property
that can be bought at lower figure
and will serve the purpose as well.
Messrs. Taylor and Graves appear to
be thoroughly disgusted over the re-
suit of the negotiations thus far and
will leave the city today. Mayor Mar
riott states that the land owners will
have to come to terms or the sailing
station will be located in another part
of the city, where property getting is
less difficult.

0verturning Lantern Causes Blaze
(From Thursdays Daily.)

While playing with magic lantern
at the home of Joseph Johnson on
Lynn avenue yesterday afternoon, the
young son of Supervisor Elect Case in
some manner overturned the lantern
lamp and in moment the table cloth
and wainscoating about him was a
mass of flames caused by the burning
oil. The lad escaped without even
slight burns but before the blaze was
extinguished it ruined a portion Of
the furniture in the room and badly
scorched the wainscoating.

OF M. j.. Tyler on Lynn street. Mr..
Tyler, who moved to this place in 1866,
states that the effigy had already been
leveled, but he located the sites of three
tumuli not noted by Mr.. Garfield, all
lying on the land between his house
and small ravine to the east. While
eXcavating in one of these nearly
leveled tumuli, Mr.. Tyler unearthed
the bones of several skeletons nearly
three feet below the surface. They
crumbled when handled.
South Side Mounds.
Directly south of the depot at Bara-
boo, there is a knoll of considerable
prominence and extent. On it's crest
and extending nearly PARALLEL with
Walnut street were six tumuli ar
ranged in row. The third from the
north still shows quite plainly in the
yard of G. M. Blake on the corner of
Walnut and Blake streets. The fourth
was entirely removed when Bake
street was constructed. 1t is reported
that the workmen found few beads,
some arrow points and stone pipe in
the mound. The other two tumuli are
on the same block as the old Third
Ward school building. Although
much leveled they are still easily To-
Gated. The seventh mound lay ON the
south slope with the lower part where
Elm street now is. This mound was
considered man effigy by DIR. S. D.
Peet of Chicago, but was probably a
bird.

TOWED BY A MONSTER DEVIL FISH
Thrilling Experience OF Well Known
Army Veteran And Party While
Fishing In Florida.

All the verterans around BaraboO
and many others know F. D. Stone of
Knox, Minn. He went to the war
from here in company with Rube
Smith of Prairie du Sac and William
Stackhouse of Loganville and other
we'll known "Vets" and visits Baraboo
frequently. E. D. Marsh, another
comrade, has received a copy of the
Tampa, Florida, Tribune, which gives
the following big fish story:
"One of those true stories of fishing
experiences in Florida waters which
earn for some people unjust reputa-
tions as piscatorial prevaricators
but which are founded absolutely on
fact, is told by Marcus n. Carroll, of
Camden, n. j., we'll known winter
resident of Tampa, who returned Sun
day from a weeks fishing trip off Eg-
mont Key, accompanied by Capt. Har-
ry Warner, B. A. Wachob, of Punta
Gorda, and F. d. Stone, of Knox, North
Dakota.
"While seeking kingfish in the pilot

harpconed, and, resisting the efforts of
the four gentlemen to control him,
started with the dory at an amazing
speed, fortunately in the direction of

Monster Tows Oory.

There was no checking the big one as
it sped with its human treighted tow,
Capt. Warner, intent upon capturing
the monster, ordered all hands to hold
tight to the 80-foot harpoon line and
thus the dory came up with the big
German tramp steamer Tillie Ross, in
command of Pilot Belgau. For fou1
miles the engines. of the tramp and the
energy of the devil-fish engaged in
strenuous rivalry, the race being a
very exciting and probably unparal-
leled one. The dory and it's occupants
kept we'll along side the steamship un-
til the devil-fish, as though conscious
that it had demonstrated its capabili-
ties, headed for the Egmont Key shore
In shoal water, after towing the dory
six miles, the big devil-fish became
stranded and the fishermen fired three
shots into it, ending its life. 1t weighed
fully 1000 pounds.
A noteworthy feature of the six-mile
dash is the fact that during the entire
trip the members of the party were
fishing from the stern of the dory and
some kingfsh were landed.

Great Sums of American
Money Sent Annually to
Old World by Immigrants

While the steamship companies are
pouring stream of immigrants into
the United States, the foreigners al
ready here are pouring an ever in
cTeaslnS stream of American dollars
into the old world The vast sums
that 90 abroad from the United States
tell the story of the thrift of newly
arrived foreigners in a land of plenty,
and mark the margin between what
working men can earn here and what
those from ether countries can live
upon. At present the federal. govern
ment, through 1884 international
money order offices. does a direct
money order business with fifty-seven
foreign countries.
$1,5oo,o0o a Week.
Each week these offices are sending
abroad, in excess of receipts, more
than S1.500,O0O In other words.
American dollars are crossing the
ocean at such a rate that within the
year 1907 the older countries will get
from the United States more than
SIS, 100000 in money orders over and
above the amounts sent to this COun-
try through the same channel The
increase in the amounts sent annual
ly TO the various foreign countries
has been so great during the last five
years that to estimate what the grand
total will amount 10 in the next ten
years staggers the imagination.

1t Is Pleasanter and More

they are better equipped in every

one need rise when the gentleman
next door goes out between acts TO
see a man in the lobby. The prices
are higher than in America, orchestra
seats costing $262, with an extra
charge of II cents for the program,
and several tips to be considered in
the bargain. The play of the even

We Must Have
Milk Inspection.

How many of the recent deaths
from whooping cough and measles
have been due to the fact that there
is no milk inspection in Pensacola?
The question is one that ought to
be asked, even though the asking re-
fleet discredit on the community. The
city authorities should ask it, and
then at once see to it that 'henceforth
no man can ask it. The city should
at once, with all the promptness that
is possible, and with a firmness that
fears no man or set of men, estab-
lish a rigorous inspection of every
ounce of milk sold for public con-
sumption.
Not only is it notorious that milk
has few equals as a germ collector
and disease disseminator, but it is
equally true that milk is readily doctor
ed so that it takes expert determine
ton to detect the foreign substances;
and, further, it is nOtoriously true
that milk may readily be unfit for con-
sumption, ard yet the owner of the
COW De doSoluleiy IShOidAI IAdI any
thing is wrong.
The abnormal death rate of late
from whooping cough and measles
has not been explained, we believe,
by any reasonable hypothesis, unless
it be that for some reason, and in
some way, the public milk supply, on
which the average invalid and
conyalescent has had to rely for nour-
ishment, has been either more OF less
than God intended milk to be. In any
event, the public milk supply, under
all conditions and at all times, is one
of the principal factors on which de-
pends the recovery of sick persons
from serious illnesses, and for this
reason, as well as with a view to pre-
venting sickness, every community
that has ordinary common sense and
average regard for the welfare of
children, ought to have a rigid milk
inspection system, and allow no per-
sonal or political consideration to in
terfere with it's strictest application.

"THE OLD WORLD AND ITS
WAYS"

Col. William Jennings Bryan an
nounces a new book of travel entitled
The Old World and its Ways" which
recounts his recent tour round the
world and his journeys through Eu-
rope. IL Is profuseIy and elegantly IL
lustrated with 240 artistics engravings
representing men and things seen in
the various countries of the earth dur
ing that noted journey. The engraY-
ingS are made from photographs
taken by him or his party specially
for this publication. 1t is the monu-
mental literary work of his life, and
is published under his special super
with his publishers, made the retail
price low down with the view to put
ting it within the easy reach of every
reader and book buyer.
The book gives his experiences
what he saw and did-whom he met
and his impressions and conclusions,
He made a profound study of men
and things as he saw them in this not
ed journey around the world. He gives
governmental, educational, religious
and other conditions, from the stand
point of a student and one profound
ly interested in all the people of the
earth.
While Col. Bryan travelled as a
private citizen he went with the pres
tige of having made two memorable
contests for the presidency of the
United States, and he was everywhere
recognized and entertained as a great
representative American, having a
leading part in the direction of Amer

accorded to any one travelling in pri-

If one wants to see the world, and
the people who are at the head of af-

Why Not a Southerner?

1T will not do for the Democratic
party to say in the fact of the record
that it cannot nominate a southern
man for reasons of section, while
for forty years it has nominated its
candidates, with rare exceptions, with
reference to nothing else We hold
that the nomination of sOutherner
next year would be advisable on the
very ground that he is a sOutherner.

strifes of the east and west and il
is clear that Senator Daniel would
not exclude the south from the COM

interest we would regard section, he
for the same reason would disregard
it. The time for the sectional argu-
ment against the south has either
passed or Will never pass. AvaiIibil-
