Now after a week of this experience, deposits of surplus funds ranging from a few cents to some considerable amounts have been received. aggregating s3.215.70 from 1O7 offices. The total { number of offices of the fourth class in the territory is approximately 250 so there are over half of them to hear from yet.
 COST OF A PAIR OF sHoEs-Ro- mando Birassa was before Justice Johnstone yesterday on a charge of petty larceny. He might have been tried for burglary. He is the man who scaled the fence of the Chamberlain lumber yard on July and was cap tured by Justice Johnstone and John Perrin having in his possession a pair of shoes which he had selected from a lot of merchandise which had been temporarily left there. IL was thought that he had selected other articles about the yard but on inventory of the goods showed that only the shoes were missing.
 { HE ROllED.A FRlEND-Lon Lee was before Justice Johnstone yester- day charged with robbery from the person. The charge was made by an acquaintance. M Hackey. who com plained that Lee had robbed him the night before. Hackney had a little money and he had been about town with Lee paying for the drinks. Fin ally they went to the city hall plaza and lay down on the grass. Lee knew that Hackney had a five dollar gold piece and he pointed out to him the udHstr ol carrying II III HIS tiouSeis pocket with silver and nickel coins. He suggested to him that he put it into the pocket of his shirt. That seemed a reasonable precaution and Hackney acted upon it. Later he fell asleep and was awakened by some one fumbling about his clothing. He was just in time to see Lee hotfooting it out of the plaza. He called to him to stop but he kept going. Hackney took an inventory and found the gold ! piece gone as well as his latch.

WESTERN UNION DOES BUSINESS
Interruptions in Sending Messages
From Baraboo Have Practically
Ceased.

The Local Western Union office has
no difficulty now sending messages al
though the volume of business has de-
creased very appreciably.
During the first days of the strike
when so many had walked out, it was
almost impossible to send a message
from Baraboo during the day and not
very convenient at night. The opera
tor would be about half through with
a message for Chicago or Milwaukee
when an interruption would occur by
some one along the line opening key
and making a series of dots and jun
bled noises. "Scab" "Why don't you
walk out" etc. were expressions which
could be heard ticked along the line
almost any time, particularly when a
was being sent.
These Interruptions caused a delay
of several hours in sending a message.
They were caused by operators in coun-
try places or cities where they had not
walked out or else by private lines be-
ing attached to the lines of the COM
pany, in some out of the way districts,
and operated by strikers. AT present
however, there seems to be little or no
difficulty in handling the business

UNUSUAL CELEBRATIuN.
Three Baraboo People Have the Same
Birthdays.

There was a remarkable birthday
celebration at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Rooney just north of the
city Thursday. Brother, sister and
niece have the unusual distinction
of having birthdays on the same day,
August 25. They are as follows: The
first two being brother and sister:
John Rooney, born August Is, 1874.
Mrs. Mary McGuan, born August
Is, 1889.
Mrs. Mary D. McGuan, born Aug
ust Is, 1861.
Mr.. Rooney is a veteran Of the civil
war and has resided here many years.
His sisters are also Baraboo residents.
Those present at the family reunion
were Mrs. Mary McGuan, son James,
and six daughters, Mary, Julia, Eliza
beth, Agnes, Cecilia and Mrs. Marga-
ret Duncan; Mrs. Mary D. McGuan
and daughter Winnifred, Mrs. Con-
stance McGuan, Mrs. Edward Rooney
and two sons, Baraboo.
There were also present Mrs. Luke
Kelley, inee Anna Rooney, of Wash
ington, ID. G. She is accompanied by
her three sons, Luke Edward, Peter
Kendrick and Paul Boyle Kelley.
Luke is a student at West Point and
the other sons are in other schools.
Mrs. Marguerite G. J. Hanly, Portage.
Mrs. Spelling assisted the hostess to
entertain the guests, The only thing
to mar the occasion was the storm
whicn prevented their daughter, Mrs.
Edward Curry, and family from be-
ing present. The occasion was un-
usual and most enjoyable.

RISE UF MILK TO SIX CENTS.
Conditions For Cheap Milk Unfavor-
abie-Feed and Help Expensive.

Milk has raised to six cents per
quart along with the general advance
in everything. Last Friday the milk
men were met by the farmers with the
demand that an advanced price be
paid for the milk, or that it be left
where it stood. Nothing was to be
done but comply and consequently the
rise Wednesday.
The farmers complain of the in
sufficiency of pasture feed. 1t isneces-
sary to feed great deal of grain, they
say. This seasoa is particularly un-
favorable in that respect. Although
the grass looks well, the nourishment
is poor. Another reason for the rise
is the fact that COWS begin to go out
of the milk business at this season of
the year. The farmers, therefore, in
supplying a demand which is uniform
the year round must plan to have
milch COWS of about the same number
or failing in that, must buy them. The
milk routes are unlike the creameries
which take the milk as it comes and
adjust their business to the supply
from the farmers.
Another respect which affects all
farmers heavily now is the increase in
wages for farm hands. Where $40 and
$25 per month would hire 3 nan few
years ago, $50 and $50 are required
nowadays.

CRUSHER PLANT
SHUT DOWN

The stone crushing plant west of the
city has been shut down on account of
a dearth of teams to move the rock.
Some days ago demand was made
for more pay by those hauling rock
but this was not granted by the city
authorities. AS result of not getting
more pay the teams quit and the plant
has been shut down. About fourteen
teams have been hauling crushed rock
on the Third street improvement. The
paving of this street is about half fin
ished.
The city desires to make some re-
pairs at the crusher so this will give
time for this work. Some of the streets
need repairing and this can also be
done. The city has enough teams for
the regular work.
The city is advertising for teams and
offers to pay eighty cents per load to
haul from the crusher. Four loads can
be hauled in nine hours.
The teamsters claim that everything
is so high and there is such a demand
for this class of work at higher rate
that they are justifie in asking for
more.
They wanted all the way from 80
cents to 81 90 more per day.
It was the intention of the city to
pave on the street to the cemetery but
if the present state of affairs is not
Strengthened out the work on East
street will he ahandOned

PASSED THROUGH BARABOOYES
TERDAY HAVING COME FROM
MIDDLETON-ROUGH ROADS.
TEST FOR DIET AND ENDURANCE
Disciple of Bernard McFadden Editor
of Physical Culture Magazine
Others Making Test.

Arvid Sepola stopped in Baraboo at
the Warren last night on his way to
Duluth, having walked all the way
from New York. He has made accord
ing to his own account an average of
36 miles per day. He left New York
July 2 and lost eight days on account
of bad weather. That makes thirty
five days from New York TO Baraboo,
rather slow, but he says that he sees
more of the country than by any other
method of travelling.
Before making this trip he has been
travelling extensively and while in
New York he became one of the dis
ciples of Bernard McFadden, editor of
Physical Culture Magazine, and
teacher of class of physical cultur-
lists, at lake Marguerite, 40 miles south
of New York in New Jersey. AS the
boys met in class every day and listen
ed to the two meal-a-day minus-meat-
and-eggs-, sans stimulants, theory, the
idea of testing the proposition to ascer-
tain the endurance qualities of such
regime came to them, and in one
fashion or another they are all making
tests. One is at present making his
way across the continent on foot from
New York to San Francisco.
Yesterday Mr.. Sepola had come from
Middleton arriving in Baraboo at $40
p. N. dusty, and Drowned like an In
dian. He was garbed in khaki trous-
ers, carried a holster with pistol, and
pack weighing about twenty pounds.
He lives according to the rules eating
only two meals day, one at ten and
the other at about five. No meat, eggs,
stimulants, or narcotics of any kind
are part of his menu. Fruit, nuts,
and vegetables form the diet which he
is testing for qualities of endurance and
he says he finds them very satisfactory.
"Why," he said, "When wake UP in
the morning, [ feel like getting up,
not like turning over with please let
me sleep feeling.0 "When you eat
so much meat together with too much
other food, sit is not assimilated, ,and
consequently requires extra effort to be
thrown off. 1t ism what you eat,
that counts, it is what you assimilate.
That surplus of food in the body is
what causes the dozy lazy feeling after
a meal and the morning before getting
up"
"Have you lost any weight?"
eyes, about eight pounds, but that
has been caused by the heat; gracious!
but it was hot. And these hills around
Baraboo, why I was going south and
east and every other direction, to get
into Baraboo. They are as bad as the
mountains out west. And rough! those
roads are about as bad in places as
anything [ have struck on my trip"
Chow much are your expenses"
"About $3.50 per day."
His biggest walk in one day was 50
miles in sixteen hours in order to get
to hotel accommodat ions.
He goes to Elroy and Wonewoc to-
day, and from there he will go to Eau
Claire thence on north to Duluth,
where he lives and works at the ma
chinist occupation.
He is twenty two years old and of
Finnish extraction. His weight is
about $50 pounds.

Tunnel Problems

ONiOiI'S
The tunnel problems are, of course,
the most interesting. The installation
for the Garrison tunnels and the big
tunnel at ST. Paul Pass thro the Bitter
Root range, is about complete. The
compressor plants are pretty muchly
complicated and require detailed at
tent1On which amounts to a great deal
when results are wanted. The material
of the mountain which is being bored
is so thoroly scanned, that it will be
necessary to be lined with timber,
most of the way. This Will apply to
the double track sections of the n. P.
as well as the single track of the G. M.
& st. Paul. The frame of the lining is
of Y by II, with tagging of 4 inch
stuff.
The people in this territory are some
what exercised over the report that the
500 Line is to build through to the coast
and is to take line thro the northerly
portion of the U. S. The current news
paper comments relative to the propos-
ed route of the G. & n. w. on its way
to the coast, are of more than common
interest to me. The fact is patent to
all that there is business out here to go
after, but it seems to me that the con-
struction will be at a very great cost,
as the price of labor and material is al.
most prohibitive, when compared with
the standards of cost to which we have
been accustomed during the latter part
of the 90's. It would seem to a man
up tree, that the G.. & n. w. could
afford to postpone for at least time,
the construction of their line, in the
expectation that prices of labor and
material would drop and that capital
could be obtained later under some
what more favorable conditions of the
money market.
Incidentally, wish to say that note
from any one of you to whom this is
addressed, would be very welcome.
Aside from the matter of work and
business, it is worth mentioning that
our home life at Missoula is as happy
as any we have ever had. Altho living
is very high, for the necessities as well
as luxuries, the other conditions of
living more than make up for the in
creased expense of living. Should be
glad to hear how your work is pro-
crossing, and any other news Of in
terest.

Balance For Ballast.

we are turning over to the construct
ion engineer, certain stretches of track
or rather dump, on which he can lay
the track. In one case we have only
taken feet of stripping off the top of
the cut, and have left the balance of
the material in excavation for the en-
gineer department to use for ballast.
In another case, where the grade of
the material has warranted it, we
have hauled out an extra foot of the
material, the same to answer as ballast
for the standard gauge track.
The work on the St. Regis-P Paradise
cutoff is progressing we'll, altho the
problems on that line are mostly ones
of getting the equipment to the work,
and keeping the shovels and camps
supplied with fuel and material. At
the Paradise end, boat is in oper-
alton up the. Missoula river, the craft
being scOw, Is ft. wide, so ft. long
and three feet deep, and with the load
of about so tons, draws just enough
water to make the navigation COM
Portable. The boat is propelled by
means of stationary engine on the
bow of the craft, attached to line
leading up the stream. When one of
the lines, approximately 1000 fit. long,
is reeled in on the drum, hitch is
taken on another line, which is an
chored farther up the stream and the
boat is pulled up the length of that
line, and SO on till the boat is to the
destination. The speed of the river
may be judged from the tact that the
trip going up takes seven hours, and
the return trip with the current is
made in Il hours. The boat is in
charge of a crew of three, who live with
it and who conduct the transportation
of the coal and other supplies for the
work.

SHOULD. SPARE
THE BUR OAK
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The sidewalk in front Of the home of
DR.. Higgins, 7O8 Oak street, has been
condemned by the city council and a
new walk ordered built. Although
the matter has not been fully decided
yet there is danger of the old bur oak
standing there being cut away for it
stands partly on the ground whereit is
intended to build the walk. By all
| means the oak should be saved. DR..
Higgins is not here but the tree should
not go. An article concerning the tree
recently appeared in magazine and
its knotted branches always attract
visitors. There is not another tree in
the whole town so picturesque. Be
sides this it is probably the oldest liv-
ing thing in Baraboo. Bur oaks grow
slow and the time when that tree was
an acorn no doubt goes back to a time
before Baraboo was ever thought of, be-
fore Wisconsin was discovered and no
doubt before Columbus came to Amer
ica. The tree was there long before
walks were built in Baraboo. Spare
the oak.
