being 216 feet long.
Present at the meeting were Attorney
G. A. West, l.. L. Whitney, O. J.,
Habhegger, G. E. Brown, and w. K.
Flint, Milwaukee; F. S. Hyer, Stevens
Point, and A. B. Stout, Baraboo.
For several years Mr.. Stout, in
structor in science in the Baraboo High
school, has been making efforts to
arouse interest in the project to pur-
chase the tract containing the mound
and thus preserve it from destruction.
Until lately he has been unable to
secure price on the property, but yes
terdav he came to the city with an
optioF FOR the purchase of the land for
$3.50. This sum, together with sum
sufficient to clear away the under
brush and make small park surround
ed with a fence, will be raised among
members of the two societies. 1t Is
probable that within the next year the
mound will have been cleared of its
dense covering of underbrusn, and the
park laid out.
The famous effigy mound, which is
four and half miles northeast of Bar
aboo, was first discovered more than
fifty years ago, but for some reason es-
capped the notice of Increase A. Lapham
and other archeologists of note. It is
mentioned however in several works
on American mounds. It the theory
that the mound represented the abid-
ing place of one of the manitous of the
early Indian tribes.

Through all the vioissitudes of life he
clung to his religion. Through wind
and rain, through sleet or snow, he
went to church while he was able, and
no matter how busy he was he always
found time to visit the sick and help
ury the dead. His trust in God never
wavere1 and he was often heard to say
that when his time came he was ready
to go.
His end was wonderfully peaceful.
From heavy sleep from which he
could not be awakened he passed into
Eternity without a struggle. Christ
mas brought him untold happiness in
the presence Of his God whom he had
faithfully served, and in company with
his loved ones with whom he is now
reunited.

WlAk DELAYED
ON BUILDING
(From THURSDAY 3 Daily.)

There is delay in placing the heat
ing plant in the new high school build
ing and just what the outcome will be
is difficult to state. Contractor Brewer
of Richland Center has the job and
when the radiators arrived some weeks
ago he was informed that the ones
called for in the plans and specifications
had not been sent. They are still
lying on the ground. He has shippe d
his tools back to Richland Center and
there is no indication that the wor k
will progress very soon. From the
best information that the school board
can obtain the boilers called for in the
plans have not been ordered, so that
there is delay on all sides. 1t is re-
ported that the contractor has stated
that he will not go on with the work
for some time.
He is under bond but the work may
be given to another unless something
is done soon. He has placed the found
alton for the boilers but this work
has not been inspected. The architect
was here last week and the situation
was gone over but no conclusion reach
ed.

Obituary.

Tuesday evening Dec. 18th. the sor-
rowful news was received announcing
the death of Adelbert LeaIand Barber,
familiarly known as Della. About
four weeks prior to his death he hired
out as brakeman for the G.. & N. w.
r. r. Co. and it was while in their
service he lost his life. Of this young
man we can truly say, he was agenial,
kind hearted, honorable boy, always
loving his home and dear ones. Espec-
tally was he affectiOnate and loving,
always confiding in his mother. He
was born Dec. 11th., 1885, departed
this life Dec. 18th. 1905. The funeral
service was held from his home, Gil
Second Ave-, Friday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock conducted by the Rev. Melear
of the First NJ. e. church, after which
the remains were laid at rest in the
Baraboo cemetery. His pail bearers
were Harry Butterfeld, Charley Burch,
Herbert Thompson, Eugene Wood,
Lawrence Reynolds and Henry Diener.
The beautiful flowers which came from
friends and neighbors were tokens of
esteem in which they held this dear
young man. He leaves to mourn his
untimely death father, mother and
three brothers. This grief stricken
family have the sympathy of the en-

THE TWO MYSTERIES, BY MARY MAPES
DODGE.
We know not what il is, dear,
This SLEEP so deep and still;
The folded hands the awful calm,
The cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again;
Though we may call and call;
The strange, white solitude of peace
That settles over all.
We know not what it means, dear,
This desolate heart-pain;
This dread to take our daily way,
And walk in it again;
We know not to what other sphere
The loved who leave us go,
Nor why we're left to wonder still,
Nor why we do not know.
But this we know; Our loved and
dead,
If they should come this day
Should come and ask us What is
life?"
Not one of us could say,
Life is a mystery as deep as ever
death can be
Yet oh how dear it is to us,
This life we live and see.
There might they say. these vanished
ones
And blessed is the thought.
So death is sweet to us, beloved!
Though we may show you
naught;
We may not to the quick reveal
The mystery of death
Ye cannot tell us, if ye would,
The mystery of breath.
The child who enters life
Comes not with knowledge or
intent,
So those who enter death must go
As little children sent,
Nothing is known,
But believe that God is over
head;
And a life is to the living,
So death is to the dead

There will be other amusements also, an athletic tournament, acrobatic shows frse, Indian day festivities, the most novel at any fair, and, to crown all, Hassayampa day pe- culiar to Arizona and full of novel contests and prizes, but best of all round up of all the old timers.
 Then there is to be baseball tournament. Teams from several of the largest towns of Arizona. Not scrub teams thrown together for the occasion but firstclass teams that play league ball. If you are not fan, don't admit it, for you ought to be.
 But that is not all. That is only a brief index to the fair which it will take week to see and see right.
 Beside that, there is to be busi- ness and pleasure down town. If you belong to anything-church, Sunday school. lodge, business as- sociation, or what not-it is likely there will be something to interest you in business or social way.
 Here are some of the events that will take place in town | Convention of all Arizona Post masters.

Force Reduced

The Jerome News quotes General Manager Wm. s. Clark. of the United Verde Copper company. w:tht he following: MT. Clark said that there is nothing in the rumor that this company contemplated closing down the mine or shelter, but that, with all the other produc- ing mines in the country. they were reducing their output 50 per cent. That great deal of the con- struction work which they have been doing this summer is now fin ished and other nearing completion. hence the service of a great many of their men will be dispensed with, but that construction work now uE- derway will be continued. The curtailing of the production, of course. necessitated the laying off of number of miners and other underground men, and some of the surface men who handled their pro- duction. hut that the works would continue to be run along as they are at present.

Territorial Fair

ent at the ralr OrouiluS III thc different departments. Many have been employed to clean up and get in readiness the grounds and buildings. The Grounds present the appearance of a small city life and energy being evident in every direction.
 There are now quartered in the various live stock departments hundreds of animals from differ ent parts of the territory and many imported from other states for exhibition purposes and to contest in the award of premiums.
 Horses of every description have been assigned to their stalls, rang ing from the largest Percheron and Shires to the smallest of Shetlands.
 In the racing department hun dreds are now here exercising on the track and have listed among them the most noted of horses.
 Dan Patch, the greatest of all pacers, and Cresceus, the king of trotters, accompanied by their running pace makers, are occupy ing their stalls.
 Other horses that might be men tioned, to.show the class of harness horses that are entered, are Argot Boy, one of DeRyder's fast Pacers, and Kinney Lou, the fast trotting stallion belonging to Budd Doble. These and many other fast horses are now taking their daily work outs. A list of High Class horses could be mentioned, if space per- mitted, which would include a large number of the greatest horses known,
 Many interesting exhibits have been made in the Agricultural, Mineral, Woman's and Educa- tional Department. Amusements and attractions have been pro- vided by the Commission for those who attend, that their time may be agreeably occupied.
 The Fair management is using its utmost endeavor to provide en- tertainment and accommodations for all who attend. For those who prefer not to secure apartments at hotels, arrangements have been made with the Board of Trade whereby they can procure rooms in private families.
 Rates have been made by the different railroads of the territory to and from the Fair that are the lowest ever known.
 There are great many reasons why everybody in Arizona who can do so should attend the Fair, and the majority of the people can do SO if they will only make up their minds to it and shape their business accordingly.
 The chief attraction will be the fair itself. Those who have never attended the fair, no matter how much they know about Arizona from reading or long residence, have but a poor conception of how big a show it is going to be. No man interested in the livestock business, whether horses, cattle, sheep, swine, or poultry, can ap- preciate what a fine aggregation of blooded stock will he shown, without coming 10 see it. In like manner the mining man will have fine surprise in the mining building.
 Remember this is not a Salt River Valley, but an all-territorial show.

Mother Finds Food For Grown UPS
and Children as Well.

Food that can be eaten with relish
and benefit by the children as well as
the older members OF the family
makes pleasant household commod-
ity.
Such q food is Grape~Nuts. 1t not
only agrees with and builds up chill
dren, but older persons who, from
bad habits of eating, have become
dyspeptics.
A Phila. lady, after being benefited
herself, persuaded her husband to try
Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She
writes:
About eight years ago l had Sc
we're attack of congestion of stomach
and bowels. From that time on had
to be very careful about eating, as
nearly every kind of food then known
to me seemed to cause pain.
-Four years ago I commenced to
use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and
better, and from that time l seldom
have been without It; have gained in
health and strength and an now
heavier than I ever was.
my husband was also in bad
condition - his stomach became so
we;.k that he could cat hardly any
thing with comfort. I got him to try
Grape-Nuts and he soon found his
stomach trouble had disappeared.

old, do not want anyrh,is else for
breakfast but Grape-Nuts ind more

Patent Diving Suit.

With his new diving suit NJ. de
Pluvy, the French hydraulic engi,
neer, has made considerably more
than 100 dcscents, reaching depths
of $50 to 800 feet--much below the
limits OF ordinary diving. No air is
received from the outside. The dress
consists of an armor of sheet metal
from one-ffth to One-third of an inch
thick, with joints and coupling points
of pressed leather and rubber, and
a helmet with two cylindrical regcn-
Grating chambers attached. The air,
circulating through the helmet, has
its oxygen continually renewed By
chemicals in these chambers, regulat-
Ing valves keeping the pressure in
the helmet constant at all depths.
Mounting and descending are effect
ed by a cable carried on a drum
driven by an electric motor, and this
cable also carries the current needed
for the respiratory apparatus. The
diver communicates with the surface
by telephone wires run from the ar
NOR to electric lights that show the
working of the different parts OF
this complicated "dress."
