SALT|NG STATION
BEING CONSIDERED

A few weeks ago M. F. Taylor of
Portage, visited Baraboo in order to
look over the field for a sailing station
for the II. j. Heinz company. There
are 20 sailing stations in Wisconsin
and four more will be added this year.
AS to the profit on pickles, Mr.. Taylor
in an interview, says: "For many
years Michigan has been the banner
state for the growing of cucumbers,
but Wisconsin is rapidly coming to the
front in this as we'll as in the growing
of many other vegetable crops. 1t is
estimated that last year there were 4O
cities and towns in Wisconsin where
pickle factories or sailing houses were
operated and fair estimate of the av-
erage amount of money paid to farm
ers forcucumbers at each of these places
was S1O,O 900.
"This magnificent sum of about
s4OO 600 was paid to only about 5000
farmers who, to grow the crop, used
on an average of not TO exceed one acre
each of their farm land.
zone thing that has made this crop
so popular with many farmers is that,
unlike many other crops such as pOta-
toes, tobacco, beans, ETC., which are
frequently very high at planting time
and very low at selling Time, 1T has
stable price, which is guaranteed the
armer before it is planted. In addi-
ton to this it is not necessary to invest
any money in seed, new tools or new
buildings and within six weeks after

MRS. COMMANDER
DEFENDS WOMAN
(Frorn Wednesdays Daily.]

Mrs. Lydia Kingmill Commander,
formerly minister of the Unitarian
church in BarabOO, but now residing
in New York City, defended the
American woman as an intellectual
and womanly creature against the
attacks of Prof. w. /. Thomas of
the University of Chicago, who places
woman on the intellectual plane of
the savage and calls it unwomanly if
she attempts to raise herself above that
plane. Mrs. Commander says:
professor Thomas is in an educ at
ional institution where the women are
walking in and taking the prizes away
from the men, and now when the
women have won fairly he raises the
cry that it is not womanly. 1t was
man and not nature who set the
standards of so-called womanliness.
"Of the thirty-fve buildings COM

Banished Porker.
Asa Wood preached for the Metho-
dists. He made 20 pretensions to
oratory, but gave good, plain practical
sermons, and was much respected,
both as man and minister. Occasion
ally the large portly form of Mr.
Flanders filled the pulpit. Father
Waddell also assisted, perhaps with
more zeal than ability. Elder Cochran
presided as pastor over the Presby-
terians and Congregationalists who
worshipped together in the old Court
House, on Fourth St., north of the
public square. That building was
afterwards used as asaloon, and finally
burned. Maxwell's department store
was on the corner southeast of the
square; and Munson had one in the
same block. Lem Stanley's drug store
was near the court house. The Adams
House, built by Col. Sumner, was op-
posite the northeast corner of the
square. 1t was then kept by Mr..
Locke. Later it was enlarged and
called the Western Hotel, and kept by
Mr. Watson. Mr.. Locke was a jolly,
good natured landlord, and never took
offense at the pranks of the boys. One
morning, some of the boarders annoyed
at the oft repeated appearance OF aroast
pig, agreed upon plan to get rid of
him. AS each one in turn entered the
dining room, he took off his hat to
the porker and greeted him with low
bow and pleasant "Good Morning. !"
They saw him no more.
There was a small temporary build
ing put up on or near the square for a
daguerreotype gallery. Daniel Parish
was the artist. He charged more for
one picture than would suffice now for
a dozen or more. His pictures were
good, and have well stood the test OF
time, as some which / still possess,
plainly show. He moved to California,
and some years after was drowned in
the Pacific Ocean. His ship enroute
for Oregon went down with all on
board.

Fourth was well patronized. Mr..
Parish married Frank Berlin, whose
father kept tavern at Lyons. The livery
stable was in plain sight at my school
house, and often as the time drew near
for school closing, the knowing glances
and smiles of certain pupils, who from
the windows had seen a young law
yer come for horse and buggy warned
me to prepare for drive. Last, but
by no means least, in the line of amuse-
ments, we "tripped the light fantastic
toe" in the hotel dining room, tables
| and chairs cleared away. Sometimes
Jim Badger fiddled for us, and often
the Parish Band furnished more pre-
tenGous music. The dances were entire
ly old fashioned quadrilles and country
dances and often quite impromptu
and we were expected to be ready
on short notice. One evening had been
to meeting with Mr.. Avery, a pious
Methodist brother, and as we were
coming out of the church, a young
man met and accosted me in this wise:
"We are going to dance over at the
tavern, will you Gomez" | glanced up
at the face of my escort with some
apprehension, but there was twinkle
in his eye as he resigned me to the new
conner. | knew by that look that he
had not forgotten his dancing days. My
street dress and walking shoes did not
at all lessen my evenings enjoyment.
Thereare few survivors now of that
merrycircle of young people.
Order of 1901.
I must not omit to mention the order
of 1901, which was an institution of
the early days of Baraboo. It's meet
ings were held at irregular times and
places. 1t had no woman's auxiliary,
and its mystic rites were never re-
vealed but imagination might picture
the woes of the helpless stranger who
was lured within it's doors for initia-
ton. If belated .homegoers in the
streets, passing some closely curtained
building, heard issuing thence, strange
sepulchral groans, long drawn out and
terrible, they would say "The 1901
are holding a session." The meaning
of the name was mystery, but Elder
Cochran interpreted it as $1,000 rascals
and one honest man."
The first "Woman's Rights func-
ton ever held in Baraboo is perhaps
worthy of record. About dozen ladies
married and good church members, de
string to break the monotony of house
keeping and baby tending by a days
onting. conceived the idea of drive to
Delton; and wishing to do something
little out of the ordinary, procured an
improvised bus, made from a lumber
wagon or hay rack with seats along the
sides, and hired Lum Parish as driver.
By virtue Of being school ma'am, / re-
ceived an invitation to read paper or
make a speech for the occasion. A
flag was raised in front, with "Woman's IS
Rights printed on it in large letters.
After driving about town little, we
proceeded into the country. We had
dinner at Delton, speeches ETC., and
then returned home. This excursion,
which we considered only harmless
frolic, excited considerable comment
i and criticism on the part of some of the
men. The flag did the mischief, and
it was a long time before the eXcit-
ment died away.

An Early Function.

The first social function / attended
in Baraboo was an afternoon party,
given shortly after my arrival by Mrs.
Munson at her home on Third street,
nearly opposite the presentP Presbyterian
church. There were present, Mr.. Rem

Our social advantages then, would
now be considered rather limited.
There was no society with a capital 5,
but there was spirit of good comrade-
ship which ensured harmony and
made light of all obstacles. 1t has been
said that "Even the grimmist of jokes
creates smile in Vagabondia." So
we, the early Baraboo-bies, welcomed
and utilized even the dullest Of amuse-
ments. Sometimes we had lectures in
the old court house; and once travel
ing phrenologist gave talk in the
hotel dining room, and examined the
heads of the more daring, thereby
greatly pleasing the audience. One
evening, in that same dining room, we
really did - pity its, It's true -
play game of blind mans bluff. /
remember that some of the young men,
who would not stay caught, took their
coats to the tailors the next day On
summer evenings, the Parish Band of
three brothers entertained us with out
door concerts in the Square.
Winter sleighrides and summer
drives in the beautiful country around
Baraboo were greatly enjoyed then as
now. The prairie roads were good,
and the woodland way over the bluff
was pleasant and picturesque. How
ever, some of our friends at Sauk, a
little jealous of our towns rapid growth,
gave a reason for it, that the early set
tiers coming in over the Bluff, with SO
much difficulty, could not get out
again, and were forced to remain. One
spring day, a party of US drove through
the woods to the sugar bush of w. I'll.

met his sweet faced wife and her twin
sister, Mrs. Root, and were invited by
them to eat warm biscuit and maple

Examiners Do Not Examine.

The conditions that have existed in
the disastrous Brownstown, Indiana
bank, under the noses of the bank ex-
aminers for years, will not inspire the
public with faith in bank examiners.
There ought to be law providing
for the auditing of bank books by a
committee selected from the stock
holders and largest depositors at stat
ed periods. This work ought to be
done by interested parties instead OF
little two by four politician ap-
pointed to the position of bank ex-
aminer because of his political affili-
atoms. In the case of the Browns
town bank failure, the former bank
examiner, James r. Henry, overlook
ed or winked at the important facts
that Hugh A. Burrell, the president
of the bank, made number OF
checks payable to J. NJ Sharpe &
Co., grain gamblers of Louisville,
KY. F. M. Harsch, a bucket shop
gambler of Seymour, Ind, and one
checl; of $4,000, payable to A. w
Thorn, son, another grain gambler.
Other items in the bookkeeping OF
the bank have cropped out that
would have aroused the suspicion OF
an ordinary bookkeeper.

The True. Value, of Lemons.

Lemons are very usful in health
and sickness. Hot lemonade is one
of the best remedies for the incipient
cold. 1t is also excellent in cases OF
biliousness. For malaria the "Ro-
man cure" is prepared by cutting the
rind and pulp of lemon into a pint
of water, then boiling until there is
only half pint. One teaspoonful is
taken before each meal. This has
cured obstinate cases when quininc
failed. Lemon syrup made by bak-
ing a lemon twenty minutes and then
squeezing the juice upon half cup
full of sugar, is excellent for hoarse-
ness and to break up a cold. Tie a
piece of lemon on a corn at night
for five nights, leaving it ON all night.
Soak the foot in warm water and the
corn can be easily removed When
the root of the corn is taken out
cover the toe with collodion or some
other preparation to protect the skin.
which will be sensitive, says Wom-
ans Life Unless the tender skin is
protected it will soon form another

Roosevelt to End Gambling.

President Roosevelt is interested
deeply in the crusade aginst gambling
in the District of Columbia. He is
more than cooperating with the To-
cal authorities. The campaign is
made under his direction He has
thoroughly impressed upon the dis
trict commissioners his determine
ton, announced in one of his
speeches, to make Washington a
clean city AS the commissioners
are his appointees, and can be remov-
ed at his pleasure, il is not surpris-
ing that the incumbents show zeal
the work cut out for them.
In the raid on alleged bucket-shops
last Friday secret service officers
were conspicuous. The explanation
of the presence of federal officers is
that the President is determined that
the local laws shall be enforced and
that gambling shall be suppressed
The metropolitan police and detec-
tive forces are sufficiently strong, nu.
merically, to do the work, but to see
that it was performed thoroughly
secret service men were detailed
Whether they have been assigned TO
keep tab on local police is not known
1t is known, however, that much OF
the evidence upon which the raids
were made was gathered by the fed

No cry will be raised by the district
commissioners of federal interfer-
ence. The prosecutions which are TO
follow in the courts will be directed
by a presidential appontee the dis
trict attorney, who in the District
Of Columbia has charge of all cases

Moroccan Rule Hollow Mockery.

Veritable chaos reigns in Morocco
and the government has degenerated
into nothing more than a mock ad-
ministration The situation grows
more critical hourly The French
government prompted by a desire to
act conservatively holds BACK its
troops from precipitating a decisive
engagement with the tribesmen. Pre-
mier Clemenceau, who returned Sun
day from Carlsbad and Munich has
assumed active direction of the situa-
ton.
He conferred with Foreign Minis
ter Pichon, AYR Minister Picquart
and Minister of Marine Thomson,
who met him at the station.
Advices received Sunday from Cas-
ablanca depict the terrible state of
affairs which can more correctly be
called chaos than government The
troops are angry with impatience TO
march from the cit and bring the
trouble to climax by decisive bat
tie with the fanatical Moors The
French ministry, however, seems de-
termined to play a waiting game.
Raisuli is still in control of his own
region and the pretender rules north
east Morocco. The Sultan is not
sure OF his followers and anarchy per-
vades the Empire The lttorel towns
are tranquil because of the presence
of the foreign warships, but Rabat is
constantly in danger from the angry
tribesmen, who are prepared to
swoop down upon it at the first open
ing. Europeans dare not pass with
out the walls of Rabat and other Cit
les.
The return of Premier Clemenccau
to Paris has been the occasion for
the following editorial in the Journal
des Debates, which fairly expresses
the policy of the administration with
regard to the Moroccan situation:
"He (Clemenceau) knows the SEN
timents of the sovereigns and the dis
positions of tn chanccllors. He ought
to know that politics are not only
most uncertain, but a.so most cost
ly, and that conservatism is essen
tial"
