A RARE EXHIBIT Of
CALIFORNIA
WONDERS
(From Fridays Daily.)

DO you want to see some of the rare
products of California? Do you want
to see real man eating shark from the
waters OF the great Pacific? Two
California cars are in Baraboo filled
with the wonders of the land of big
trees, luscious fruits and wonderful
irrigatlng projects. The fruits, vege-
tables, grasses and grains in the eX-
hibit were raised in Stanislaus (pro-
nounced Stan-is-slaw) county which is
in the interior of the state almost due
east OF San Francisco. This county
has delightful climate, a rich soil
and one of the best irrigating systems
in the world. En- that county the land
owns the water and water is cheap.
The fruit on exhibition in the cars
is something worth going miles to see.
Great lunches of grapes, fine pears,
big nuts and other products which
only a climate like California can pro-
duce.
There is also exhibited man eating
shark with a mouth wide enough to
swallow goodly portion of Ringling's
menagerie. The shark is very large
one and was captured along the coast
In the Golden Gate state. Other
specimens of the sea including flying
fish, mermaids, sword fish, sharks,
bugs and insects. The exhibit is areal
museum. Go and see for yourself.
A free shell for every man who brings
one of the red cards and also asouvenir
for the ladies' Tt is liberal educa-
tion to see the exhibit. Old and young
should see it. Take the children.

BOTH FEET FROZEN
Man Walks from Elroy and Asks Po-
lice for Help.

A man, calling himself James Muir
ply and with papers on his person
showing that he has been released
recently from the Marine Hospital in
Duluth, Minnesota, applied to the po-
lice of the city for Accommodations over
night, Tuesday evening. Murphy said
that he was sailor on the Great Lakes
but had nothing to do at this season Of
the year and was out of money. He
is trying to walk to his home in Indi-
ana.
The day he arrived here he had
walked from Elroy a distance of about
38 miles, over the icy roads and the soles
of both shoes were worn clear through
leaving his feet exposed. Both feet
were frozen and he was in quite seri-
Gus condition. The police accommo
dated him over night and yesterday
purchased ticket to Madison and put
him on board the south bound train.
He had been sick in the hospital at
Duluth for several months.
An other Man With frozen Feet.
A stranger, Ed. Baker, is in the
county Jail, and as the result of tramp
ing from Princeton to Portage through
the snow and cold, may lose both his
feet from having them frozen.
Baker applied to Officer Ansel Clark
last evening for a lodging at the Port
age police station last night and after
the officer had gone away and when he
had begun to get warm he noticed that
his feet were frozen. Baker did not
tell the police about it until this morn
ing when Drs. Kellogg were called. AS
a result he may lose one or both his
pedal extremities. Meanwhile he will
spend 10 days in the county Jail having
been sentenced by Justice Allen TO
vagrancy. Baker says his home is in
Escanaba, Mich, and has cards on his
person showing that he belongs to the
Foresters, Maccabees and a machinists'
fraternal order. He declares he was
on his way to the woods in northern
Wisconsin.

occasional steam launch in their wake,
while in the rear, a huge pelicon grace
fully rides the waves in search of prey.

DEAL is CALLED OFF
RingIings ReIinquish Interest in
HagenbeCk Shows

Ringing Brothers have relinquished
their interest in the Hagenbeck circus
and the latter will be joined with the
Wallace shows the coming season. The
deal between the Ringlings and the
Hagenbeck forces, that was consum-
mated in Cincinnati some time ago,
has been declared off and the combined
forces of Observation-Disclosures Bros
circus, will be under the manage
ment of Col. Wallace. Hagenbeck's
show has changed quarters, and moved
from New Orleans to Peru, Indiana,
the winter quarters of the Wallace cir
Gus.
The Wallace show did not intend to
go on the road this season but those
who held a controlling interest in the
show and in Hagenbeck's decided to
combine the two and put out circus
under the management of Col. Wallace
if the arrangement could be made.
Ringing Bros. held an option ON the
controlling interest of Hagenbeck' S
show, and ameeting had been called
to take place in New Orleans, where it
was expected, the consummation of the
deal would be ratified. The meeting
has taken place and the Ringlings
have relinquished their options thus
making the combination of the Wal
lace and Hagenbeck forces possible.

Historical Sketch

A brief historical sketch of this col
ony may be of finterest. Honduras was
discovered in 1902 by Columbus and
was ceded in perpetuity to Great Bri-
tain in July, 1870, by Spain. British
Honduras has a sea board extending
due north and south of 100 miles. 1t
contains an area of about $500 square
miles. The boundaries of the colony
are defined by the rivers Honduras
and Yucatan.
Markets and Mahogany Trucking
There is an abundant market for
bananas, plaintain, cocoanuts, oranges,
pine apples and all tropical fruits in
demand in America, which are trans
ported by the American Fruit Compa-
ny and mail steamers. Most of the
mahogany forests are in the hands of
a few proprietors who, to preserve
their young trees, discourage settling.
Mahogany ii always trucked in the
night, the cattle not being able to per-
form such laborious work during the
heat of the day. 1t is a picturesque
and striking scene-this midnight
trucking. The lowing of the oxen, the
creaking of the wheels, the shrill cries
Of the men, the resounding cracks of
their whips and the red glare of the
pine torches in the midst of the dense
orest, produce an effect approaching
t) sublimity. Logwood cutting APP,

laborious work.

Okaton Lyman Co. S. D., Jan. II,
i07.-EDITORS BARABOO NEWS: Sew
eral months have passed since [ last
wrote you regarding the happenings in
this western country. A warm polit-
ical campaign has been carried to a
finish, and the new administration has
begun it's work. Coe [. Crawford, the
standard bearer of the reform element
in this state, was elected governor and
if the suggestions contained in his
message are carried out, we will feel
we'll paid for our efforts in his behalf.
What we, of Lyman county, are par
ticularly interested in is the repeal of
the free range law, a special law passed
years ago applying to the country west
Of the Missouri, which, at that time
was supposed to be only fit for stock
ranges. But with the passing of time,
the advent of two railroads, and the
desire of thousands for cheap homes,
together with the knowledge that
sufficient rainfall for the growing of
field crops is the rule rather than the
exception, desire has come to us for
a return to the condition existing east
of the river, namely, that each man
shall take care of his own stock. This
matter will be closely watched. There
will probably be as much or more
stock kept under the new order as be-
fore, but it will be in numerous small
punches and will be kept in inclosed
land or in herds.
Emigration Astonishing.
The emigration into this country is
something astonishing. 1t would seem
that the east would become depopulat-
ed. Many come for speculation, but
very many have come to stay, to make
homes for themselves and families. A
large portion are from Iowa, Nebraska
and eastern South Dakota, but nearly
all eastern states are represented. We
have met number of Wisconsin peo-
pie but aside from ourselves only one
from our part of the state, young
lady from near La Vale.
The steel on the G.. M. & ST. r. R'y.
is laid as far west as Kadoka, very near
the Bad Lands. Kadoka is the fourth
town west of Murdo which at present
is the terminus of the road, so far as
train service is concerned, as no freight
or passengers are carried beyond there
except contractors supplies and rail-
road material. One or more trains
pass here everyday loaded with such,
as they are anxious to get it out during
the winter while the track is solid.
This is all unloaded at Kadoka where
they have established large supply
yard. The four towns west of Murdo
are Okaton, Stamford, Belvidere,
(named by request after Belvidere in
Ill. and KOdaka. The last named
will probably be the next boom town
on this line. All these are plated but
no lots will be sold before spring. AT
Okaton a fine depot is completed but
is not being used. When we consider

Severe Winter

To keep ourselves busy the good wife
and myself are running one of the
restaurants, and handling -four and
feed as side line. Our claim is a
quarter of mile from the town site.
The winter SO far has been quite severe
for this country. The coldest weather
was this week, IA below. The worst
storm so far was early in October.
Range stock is having hard time as
the ground has been coveredWith snow
most of the time since October. Hay
is in good demand and hard to get.
Hundreds of tons went to waste that
should have been secured. Nearly
every quarter has dam on, and they
are full so the water proposition is not
troubling us.
Prices on most articles are high.
Soft coal costs us $10.5O per ton in
Murdo and we pay 12c per 100 pounds
to get it drawn. Lumber is a luxury,
l don't dare quote prices for fear the
Baraboo dealers will be rushing here
and should hate to lose my good opin-
ion of them. We have the improve
ments necessary for proving up, all
made, whether we prove up in the
spring or wait until fall is not yet de-
cided. If the legislation recommends
ed by President Roosevelt should be-
come law, much of the speculation
now going on will be stopped. 1t
would be blessing to the country if it
was stopped. GEO. 3. MCGILvRA.

Holidays.

The holidays here are constant
round of merriment for the natives for
two weeks, nothing being too good or
expensive for them. Land cars and
automobiles are constantly on the
roads, occupied by dusky men and
maidens dressed in their most gorgeous
attire. At night sounds of mouth organs,
accordians and drums are heard until
the "wee sma' hours" One day yearly
is given up at this season to thenatives
for their annual "pit pam race"
Chanting rather monotonous tune
and keeping time with their paddles,
they bend to their work with will.
The elite white of the city are invited,
and seated on the well adapted bal
comics of the Gautamalian Consul's
residence overlooking the river. They
are provided with delicious luncheon
at his expense. Among the guests was
the Governor who amused himself by
taking a number of children on the
river in large barge.
The course arranged for the race is a
long one and gives ample time for
enjoyment of the refreshments served.
All are seated at a large table provided
for the occasion by the host and
hostess.
Another amusement here is afforded
by the native children who march into
yards masked and ndiculOusly garbed,
dancing to the sound of mouth organs
and drums until money is thrown
them in sufficient quantity to reward
their quaint efforts.
The New Year here was welcomed
in by the blare of trumpets, street
parades and various home entertain
ments which were very enjoyable.
The Old Year went limping feebly
away disguised with the shabby treat
ment accorded him from ungrateful
mortals who forget the past, in the
present welcome to the new babe, still
in it's swaddling clothes, yet with un-
told possibilities for the future.

Interesting Letter From
South Dakota

that two years ago only those who
were closely connected with the G. &
N. w. or the G.. M. & st. p. Ry's. had
any idea that these roads were to be
built so soon, also that with the excep-
tions of Ft. Pierre and Oacoma, west
of the Missouri, there was not a town
for 200 miles containing more than a
dozen inhabitants, and that one could
ride all day and not see a home nor
meet person, nor be able to procure
drink of water except at some of the
railroad dams, now, on this line of
road there are already ten new towns
established, nearly every quarter sec
tion has been filed on, the majority
has or has had family living on it,
that lands that two years ago could
be had for filing on and complying
with the law, are now selling for as
high as 81 800 to ST 900 per quarter with
but little Improvements, then only can
we realize what it means to settle
new country. This has been stock
mans paradise. do not blame them
for objecting to it's settlement. What
the future has in store for us can only
be guessed at, but most of us are very
hopeful. Next season will prove or
disprove the stockmen's stories that
crops will not grow here, to be true or
false. Okaton now has feed barn,
saloon, blacksmith shop, printing
office, residence, two storesIwithisleep-
ing accommodations and three res
taurants.

MEN
 IN LEGAL FIGHT County Clerk Jesse R. Core Asks Injunction Against Franklin. Pacetti and Laundry Concern.
TESTIMONY TAKEN.
Plaintiff Says Franklin Agreed Not to Engage in the Laundry Business in
 Pine Bluhf for a Period of Twenty
 five Years.-Temporary Injunction.

In the office of Austin and Danaher yesterday testimony was taken in the suit of Jesse R. Core who asks for ;ln injunction writ against Sam Frank lin, Charles J. Pacetti and the Mod ern Laundry Company of Little Rock to prevent the defendants from solic- iting laundry work in this city. Sev- eral witnesses were heard and the case is assuming an interesting phase.
 The suit was instituted by County Clerk Jesse R. Core as a stockhold- CT in the American-Excelsio Laun- dry Company of this city. He alleges that Franklin who was a former member of the local laundry company, sold him his stock in that enterprise, and, in writing, agreed that he would not engage in the laundry business or the business of street sprinkling, which contract was also sold with his laundry interests in this city, for a period of twenty-five years, or so long as Core was interested in the AmericanEXcelsior company.
 Core further alleges that Charles J. Pacetti is soliciting laundry and operating wagon for that purpose here under the name of the Home Laundry The laundry work secured by Pacetti is being shipped to Little Rock and "done up' there, the Mod ern Laundry Company, of which Franklin is a large stockholder, do- ing the work. These facts consid- cred, Core is seeking permanent in- junction against Franklin for an al- legged breach of contract. A tempo rary injunction has been ordered by the court.
 Franklin, on the witness stand, de- clared that Pacetti is handling the local trade on his "own hook" and is paying the Modern Laundry Com pany of Little Rock the usual rates for doing the work. He denies in- fluencing Pacetti in the shipments of the work to his plant in the Capital City, and admits that he enered into a contract with Core to remain out of the local field.
 Pending final disposition of the case Pacetti is at leisure, the tempo rary injunction preventing him from carrying on his business here. Austin and Danaher represent the aad Jones the plaintiff

diately after the fire and stated that 1t was a disgrace that the city of Pine Bluff should be at the mercy of the flames because of the poor service given by the water company. He said that only a day or two ago he had a conversation with the officials of the Pine Bluff Light and Water Company. and that he was told they were we'll prepared to meet any emer- gency, and could supply water pres sure for any fire, however large. Last night they were unable to furnish scarcely any pressure at all, and 1t is likely that some action will be taken by the city council tomorrow to remedy the dangerous state of af- fairs.
