LEPER ESCAPES WHO
HAS TERRIBLE
DISEASE.

Some weeks ago Chinaman named
Hip, who had been engaged in business
at Kilbourn, came to Portage and con-
suited Drs. f. D. Bentley and John
ko1erts says the Portage Register. He
was afflicted with peculiar skin
disease and the Portage physicians
suspected leprosy and sent the celestial
on to Chicago to consult DR.. Hyde,
specialist of skin diseases at Rush
Medical college.
DR.. Bentley has received a letter
from DR.. Hyde in which he states that
the Chinaman was afflicted with
leprosy and that he, upon learing the
fact, escaped from DR.. Hyde's notice
and is still at large.
Hip is very wealthy and was en-
gagged i'll the laundry business at Kill
bourn for many years.
DR.. Bentley stated today that Hips
case had not reached the advanced
stages and that cases Of the kind were
very rare, particularly in Wisconsin.
"This is the first case I have heard of
in twenty years." said Dr. Bentley
this afternoon.

pals and baskets. For the butter
they received 10 and II cents per
pound. Eggs brought six cents per
dozen.
During those days Baraboo had
three church buildings; one hotel, the
Sumner house; one newspaper, the
Sauk County Standard, published by
G. H. Mclaughlin; besides two or
three stores and shops.
The postmaster was Benjamin
Purdy. All letters to and from the
Mrs. Luce's father was postmaster at
her old home town, and the franklng
privilege was allowed to all postmasters
and their families.
The first wages for the teachers in
the district where Mrs. Luce lived was
paid by subscription.
The Winnebago Indians of which
Yellow Thunder was chief, hunted and
trapped on the Wisconsin river, and
at Leach lake. Almost every day they
passed to and fro in front of Mrs
Luce's home. Around Leach lake
we'll worn paths marked their constant
tramping. Mr.. and Mksaa Yellow
Thunder resided in their W, YAM on
40 acres Of land which he ow Il near
the Wisconsin river. Mrs. ,llow
Thunder went to Baraboo one tir , and
purchased a dust pan Of which she be-
came very proud. Showing it to her
white neighbors, she frequently said,
"me heap neat"
Mrs. Luce recalls the first buggy
ride she had in Sauk county. 1t was
when the editor of the Standard drove
out to their farm and took her to
church.

Passes Away At His Home on East
Street of Heart Failure.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Frederick T.. Fisher passed away

East street, of heart failure. He hal
seemed as we'll as usual during the
day, although he had gone to bed to
rest, expecting to be up and around
again soon.
If he had lived three months longer
Mr.. Fisher would have been rs years
of age. He was born in Gollanter,
near Suhla, Kreis. .Schlesinger Bezirk
Erfurt, Feb. 5, 1882 and came to
America in 1882 settling in Sauk
county, in Franklin town, where he
purchased farm. He lived there
with his family until 1888, when he
moved to BarabOo, where he has since
resided. Two years ago, Dec. q, 1905,

COUNCIL CONTINUES
THE DIZZY CASE
(From Saturdays Dai1y.)

At the special meeting of the coun-
Gil last evening called for the purpose
of deciding regarding the revocation of
the license of Filhauer & Staten,
proprietors of the Dizzy on Third
street, on account of alleged gambling
in their saloon during fair week IAN ad
journment was taken until December
26. 1t was also stipulated that the de-
fense should make their plea, demurr-
er, answer, or whatever the nature of
such action should be,by December Is.
Attorney Evans appeared for the de-
fense and offered the motion for ad-
iournment for various reasons. One
was the short time to prepare the de-
fense since the service of the summons;
another that the ofense charged is a
serious one and the defendants should
have sufficient time to get their wit
nesses; another, that City Attorney
Kelley is now out of the city; also that
Alderman McFetridge is not in town.
Attorney Swanson of Madison, ap-
peared for the state and argued that
the council, the defendants, and their
attorneys knew that the case was COM
ing up and ought to be ready to try it
at once. The states witnesses had
been summoned at some trouble and
expense, he said, and were all ready to
begin trial now. He argued that nine
out of ten councilmen was a good
representation and that he did not see
why adjournment should be necessary.
After various detailed explanations
as to reasons on both sides, the council
voted on motion, practically unan-
imously, to adjourn until December 2G,
1907.

ALL KINDS Of GOOD
MONEY HERE
BUT /!

From $4,000 to $4,000 worth of
checks are being circulated in this vi
cinity, sent in by the railroad COM
pany. 1t seems that the managers Of
the company, being interested in the
Chicago banks, naturally desire to
favor them by not shipping away any
more currency than is absolutely nee
essary. The company has the money
and could send it here if it were not
for the fact that the Chicago banks
like all of the others, desire to keep all
their money on hand. This action by
the railroad rather throws the burden
of supplying currency upon the local
banks, if they would cash them. 1t is
not natural, however, that the banks
here would be willing to supply COM
pany with currency simply to help out
the banks with which the railroad has
heretofore done its business.
The checks are accepted as payments
of debts at the stores, and as deposits
at ihe banks. Some of the stores have
in this way received payment for bills
that are of long standing, and on
which payment was very slow.
There is some doubt in the minds of
many whether The action of the clear
ing house in New York, advising that
the currency be withheld for time
until the trouble concerning the banks
involved in the speculation deals of
Heinz and others was settled, was
we'll advised. The results have been
so far reaching that possibly conditions
would have been better had the matter
been settled without stopping pay
ment. There is plenty of money in the
country. The trouble all lies in the
fact that it was withheld.

OLD TREES MUST GO
Cause Discooration to the Tomb
Stones in the Gene
terry

That the large trees in the cemetery
have become something of nuisance
and a danger has been the opinion of
many ,and the association, which held
it's annual meeting last evening, con-
templates having part of them remov-
ed. TayTees were beautiful and ap-
prorTfa when they were planted
son ) so Years ago, but as they have be-
come aged and of great size with a
shade that covers everything, and in
some cases causes discoloration to the
tomb stones, it has seemed absolutely
necessary to have some of them taken
out. There is also the possibility of
some of them being blown over caus-
ing destruction.
The association also will plant an
arbor vitae hedge on the south side of
the new land purchased as an addition
to the cemetery grounds a few years
ago
The association is in prosperous
condition. There is balance ON hand
of cash to the amount of $2,865.86 and
of securities amounting to $2,70O.
The following officers were reelected:
President-Frank Avery.
Secretary-M. HI. Mould.
Treasurer-J. Van Orden.
T. W. English and Charles Wild
were chosen on the board of trustees for

Black Hawks Floating
Kidney IS Discovered
By Hugh Kelley.

Mr.. Editor The other morning just
as the sunrise chased the gray dawn
over the hill tops, Ed. Rich came
steaming up to me and said, "Hugh,
what do you think; while I was eN-
ploring the back end of that farm [
just purchased, and on the ridge near
the line between your place and mine,
L picked up a stone that looked like a
kidney, and every one who has seen it
agrees with me that it is petrified
human kidney. Now, I have read in
history that the old Indian chief, Black
Hawk, was troubled with a floating
kidney, and the doctors agreed that
his death was traceabIe to that very
fact. From the looks of the mound it
seems like an ideal spot for Indians to
have buried things that they did not
need, and I thought if you could come
up and help me dig around there we
might unearth something of prehis-
toric nature that would have consider
able value attached to it,"
| said: "Ed., there are one or two
automobile drivers in this city that are
causing me more trouble just now than
old Black Hawk is; but as soon as [
can get around to put them to sleep [
will lend you hand. In the mean
time, however, [ think when you get
The Baraboo news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1884-1911, 1907-11-27

to plowing on those ridges next spring
you will come to the conclusion that
the old chief dropped more than one of
his kidneys there-that he must have
sloughed off his entire anatomy in
that vicinity"
"Why, Hugh" he said, II do not
comprehend just what ou are driving
at. [ supposed all the stone in this
section had been gathered up and
piled around the lake,
"Well," [ said, "Ed, I don't know
what you might call them, but there's
some things up there a good deal hard
er than rotten potatoes and you don't
have to 60 very deep to find them
either;and, although [ am not prepared
to dispute the theory that they may at
one time have formed a part of Black
Hawks trlnkets, l can't imagine how
his horse ever jumped the Wisconsin
river in the Dells with such load on
his back"
Now, Mr.. Editor, this is on the
quiet, for Ed. is fairly good fellow
and [ don't want to say anything that
would wound his sensibilities, but I do
think that when he gets to delving in
to ancient history he gets things al
most as badly mixed up as does F. E.
Morey.

RUSSIAN PRIESTS.
Divided into Two Widely Separated
Glasses.

Between the higher clergy and the
village priests stretches a gulf deep and
vide. The former have opportunities
for education and have open to them
all the higher positions in the Church;
the latter are barred from entering the
higher clergy and from attaining the
higher position, and as a class are
very poor and very ignorant. And
even worse. On all sides [ heard

of cheating, of lying, of lowest immor-
ality, even of plain stealing.-Leroy

Robert Crawford Meets Death While
on Duty in Montana and Lived but
Few Hours
(From Fridays Daily.)

H. E. Stone of Sumpter, received

Robert Crawford, who resided in Mon
tana. Mr.. Crawford was crushed

South Dakota, formerly an old resi-
dent of Sauk county. Mr.. Crawford
leaves a wife, father, mother, and two
brothers to mourn his loss. Deceased

COUNTY ASYLUM
NEEDS IMPROVING
(From Fridays Da1ly.)

President H. Grotophorst of the
state board of contral appeared before
the county board today and stated
that the asylum was in an unfavOrable
condition in several respects and that
some changes should be made. He ad-
vised:
l. Seperate buildings for the men and
women.
2. A large dining room.
3. A larger kitchen and bakery.
He also said that the modern build
ings had better sanitary conditions
and other Improvements that should
be included in Sauk county institution.
In fact, he said, that the one at Reeds
burg was one of the poorest in the state.
In the first place patients are sent to
one of the state hospitals and when
found incurable to the county institu-
tions. The state pays $3.50 for each
patient and other countries which send
inmates must also pay $3.50 per week.
1t is getting more and more difficult
for the board of control to persuade
friends to have patients go to the roor-
er asylums and for that reason it is a
good business proposition to make the
Sauk county asylum as good as any of
the other 80 or more in the state, if the
county desires to retain patients for
which $500 per week is paid when it
only actually costs about half that sum
to keep them. Supervisors Paddock,
Rudd and Mears compose committee
: to report at the next session of the
board.
