business was taken over by j.. H..

COMMERCIAL HOTEL.

The present Commercial Hotel,
formerly The Blackfoot, was
build some eighteen years age
and, could the old structure tell
the story, the history of Black
foot would be an interesting story
for our pencil. However, since
its purchase by John R. Rodgers
last summer it has been re-modeled
throughout and now enjoys the
luxuries dear to the tr~ansients
heart-steam heat, electric lights
and a splendid cuisine department.
1t is under lease to A. G. Howard,
formerly of Fit. Collins, Colo,
Mr.. Howard has had an ex,
perience of 35 years as a bonitace,
and is we'll and favorably known
throughout the west and his repu-
tation as a good hotel man is SO
well known among the travelling
public, hat a repetition would be
supurtluous here. He is ably as.
sisted by his wife and son, W. A.
who are also old hands
at the business, and the capacity
of The Commercial has been
overtaxed most of the time since
reopened on December II, last.
There are 26 transient rooms in
the building but the increasing
means an addition this
spring, probably of another story.

Wheat in Kansas,

A Kansas man was telling stories with
reference to the propensity of certain
farmers to overstate the size of their
wheat crops.
Once an elderly man in Topeka, en-
gagged in the hardware business, was
called upon by farmer, who had Civ
en- skilfully padded account of his
wheat harvest.
"You don't tell meD' was the polite
rejoinder of the ehardwareman. "Well,
[ have been raising wheat this year
myself"
II didn't know that" said the farm
er. II always supposed your interests
were confined to the city. Soyou have
farm, eh? What do you raise?"
"Wheat-just wheat" was the reply.
"Good crop this year?n
"Fine.n
"HoW many bushels?u
"I don't know just how many bushels
my friend" replied the hardware man,
in slow, hesitating, tone calculated to
impress every word upon his listener;
"buti it is fact that my men stacked all
they could outdoors and then stored the
rest in the barn.

OBTAINED MONEY DURING FRAY
Case Taken Before Justice Hathaway
and the Young Men are Bound
over to Circuit Court.
S~rom Wednesdays Daily.)

e. Shaul and Frank Hudson
were a. ested at Spring Green on the
charge of assaulting James VanBlar-
com and in the excitement it appears
that the young men extracted the sum
of three dollars from the pockets of Mr..
VanBlarcom. They were arrested on
the charge of assault, the event taking
place on March 2. When they ap-
peared before Justice Hathaway he
thought the crime of such a serious
nature that the prisoners should have
a hearing before the Sauk County Cir
cult court. They were brought to Bar
aboo by Marshal Wells and deputy
and will remain with sheriff Stack
house for several weeks.

DOLLAR RIDES
NO MORE

The principal railroads of the state
have appeared at Madison with
measure to protect them from the
knocking down" practice of conduct
ors. This bill provides that it shall be
unlawful for any conductor, agent, or
employe of railroad to knowingly
charge, accept or receive from any per-
son different sum than that provided
by the legal tariffs of the railroad COM.
panies. 1t has been the practice on
certain lines of railroads for passengers
to get on the train without ticket,
hand the conductor dollar and ride
to the end of the line. This is prac-
tice for which many conductors have
been discharged, and one on which the
railroad companies have been unable
to get any line as to what their losses
through it amount to. By the provi-
sions of this bill it is not unlawful for
the conductor to accept or receive any
thing other than the legal tariff, but it
is unlawful for any person to offer to
the conductor or agent anything less
than the legal tariff, and fixes the PEN
atty at 800 for each offense.

See the Strong Man Lift the Elephant
and. Other Events are Noted BY
the Visitors.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The faculty and students. of the Sauk
County Training school came to town
from Reedsburg for day of observa-
ton and sight seeing. A message was
received in Baraboo Friday morning
that they were coming and by the time
the information reached the ward
schools there was something doing.
Every thing was braced up for the
coming of the visitors.
When Baraboo was reached this
morning the Chicago & Northwestern
shops were visited and from there
they went to the city schools. After
the observation lessons the students
assembled at the court house where
the work was discussed. The trip was
really an object lesson.
Strong Man Lifts Elephant.
During the day the winter quarters
of Ringling's circus was visited and
while there the strong man lifted
several elephants for the edifcation of
the visitors. Some of the other per-
formers in training did sundry stunts
also. The zoology lesson learned by
visiting the circus was the easiest of
any task and will no doubt be the
longest remembered.
It was pleasant day for the visitors
in Baraboo and all expressed with one
voice that the training school should
have been located here instead of the
second city.
Besides Principal G. f. Snyder and
assistant, Miss Annie Reynolds, the
party included William Frazier and

DIG UP HARRY GORNEY'S BODY
Seek Evidence as to How He Met Death
at Hands of Remmel.

The body of Harry Gorney of Water
town, who was killed at Kilbourn last
fall by Roman Remmel, was exhumed
at Watertown for the purpose of de-
termining the direction of the fatal
bullet which ended his life. Remmel
will be tried for murder at the March
term of the circuit court in Port
age.
Gorney was killed at Kilbourn de-
pot in the morning after both he and
Remmel had passed night about the
town.

hume the body was secured and two
physicians from Kilbourn, Drs. Taylor

PRAIRIE DU SAC DAM
Wilber Cahoon Writes About the Law
of the Proposition.
Wisconsin Legislature,
Assembly Chamber.
Madison, March 6

Assembly Chamber.
Madison, March 6, 1907.
To the voters of Sauk county.
Dear Sirs:-I am receiving numerous
petitions on bill No. 332, the proposed
dam at Prairie du Sac. / would like
to call your attention to the fact that
the United States has surveyed the
dam sites throughout the state at a
great expense. 1t seems to me that
the state ought to receive some revenue
from them; and also there is no hmi-
tation as to when the proposed dam
shall be finished. IF it were to be
built within two or three years it would
be good thing for the people, but if it
is held for speculation it would not.
The only law regarding dams that /
have been able to find, is one passed in
1905. That states that dam must be
started in good faith within four years
from the time the franchise is granted.
1t does not state how long they would
have to finish it in. If there were a
limit to finish in twoor three years, and
if they failed to finish the dam, to
give up their franchise, it seems that it
would be all right.
Yours very truly,
WILDER Cahoon,
ASSemblyman.

from her home four miles out of Madi-

to the railway station and took train
for Washington.
Mrs. LaFollette left note pinned on
the door of her room which merely
stated no more than that she had gone

Her action has caused sensational
array of rumors, which range from
