VON VALID & CO.,
To ENLARGE

Won Wald & Co., one of the leading
firms of Baraboo, has obtained a lease
on the building owned by George J.
Gollmar and recently occupied by the
Prentice meat market. The building
adjoins the store now occupied by Won
Valid & Co., and by making an arch
between them a double store will be
secured. For some time the firm has
felt lhe need of larger space in order to
accommodate the increased business and
the additional room will give ample
facilities for adding to the stock to ac-
commodate the many customers which
patronize the firm. For many years
Won Wald & Co. has supplied Bara-
boo buyers with up to date dry goods
and shoes and their friends will now
enjoy the opportunity of having new
and more complete lines from which
to select.

Last Sunday afternoon, Albert
Mittelstedt came near drowning while
crossing Twin Creek in Winfield. He
and his family had spent the day with
some friends and were on their return
when they were compelled to stop on
account of the hard rainstorm. After
the storm, Mr. Mittelstedt left his
family at Will Mittelstedt's and started
for home. The banks of Twin Greek
were flooded but he thought he could
cross in safety, but the bridge gave
away and the buggy was upset and
Mr.. Mittelstedt thrown into the swift
water. He was carried under the water
three times and as he came up the
third time, managed to grab wire
fence which he held onto until rescued
from his precarious position. But for
timely assistance he no doubt would
have lost his life, and it was only with
difficulty that he was rescued. The
horses in some manner became loose

shippers are not getting enough to

phists, has cut short her trip of evan
gelization in foreign countries and
will hasten to New York. Her broth
err, who, it was said by his physicians,
today, could not live more than a few
days, is James Westcott, one of the
wealthiest, as he is one of the most
widely known professional gamblers
in the country. A cablegram was
sent today to Mrs. Tingley, who be-
lieves her brother at last will accept
the consolation of her religion. Mr..
Westcott lies i'll in his house, 40
West Forty-fifth street. He is suf-

That he and Mrs. Tingley are
brother and sister is a secret West

early eighties.

MORGAN WOULD RULE CHURCH
AND Is SEVERELY REB kED

RICHMOND, Va, October 10.
Pierpont Morgan. who was expected
to play an important and influential
part as a lay delegate to the trien-
NAL conference of the Protestant
Episcopal church here, met with a
severe rebuke today
His resolution to reduce the num-
Der of clerical representatives in the
various dioceses came up before the
house of deputies and was rejected
after a bitter debate. He was criti-
cized on the ground that he was at
tempting to dictate to the church as
much as he does to Wall street. All
of Mr. Morgans fellow members of
the western New York delegation
voted against the resolution.

SIR THOMAS AND THE CUP.

Sir Thomas Upton has abandoned
his plans to enter the international
yacht races for the Americas cup, to
be held in short time under the
rules of the New York Yacht club.
The reason is given that the home
club is too arbitrary in its interpreta-
ton of the rules, though Sir Thomas
does not put it in just that way.
Sir Thomas is as game a sports
man as ever trod a quarter deck, and
it is to be regretted that the Ameri-
can yachtsmen, who now hold the
trophy, cannot be as magnanimous as
Sir Thomas has been persistent.

DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND
MINING.

The establishment of Depart
ment of Mines and Mining in the
cabinet of the president of the United
States. would be one of the greatest
boons that the government could con-
fer upon the people of the west.
While, as a matter of fact, such
department would prove of vast ben
eft to the mining interests of the
east and south, the coal mining Sec
tions particularly, the good that
would accrue to the west would be
unreasonable.
Mining men from all sections of
the west have discussed this matter
for several years, and memorials have
been addressed to congress looking
to that end 1t is not generally
known that an Ely man, prominent
in public affairs, was the first to
breach this subject to national or
ganization.
That man was Richard A. Riepe,
who at the session of the American
Mining congress, held at Ell Paso,
Texas, in 1905, introduced resolu-
ton which was unanimously adopt
ed by that body, asking that depart
~lent of mines and mining be estab-
lished, to be presided over by sec
rotary whose position on the cabinet
would be equal in importance to that
of any other cabinet member.
This resolution was forwarded to
congress, and since that time the
Riepe idea has spread throughout
the entire west. Similar resolutions
were reiterated by the American
Mining congress at their session in
Denver last year, and will be re-
affirmed at the session to be held
next month at Joplin, Mo.
Other great western organizations
which are the means of creating
wide public sentiment of topics of
great Importance to the welfare of
the country, have followed the lead
of the American Mining congress,
and in few short years, the idea
has become firmly imbedded in the
minds of the people, particularly of
the Mississippi regions, that
the formation of such a bureau is
almost imperative.
During the next few weeks there
will be held the annual sessions of
the American Mining congress and
the Trans-Mississippi Commercial
congress. Delegates will go from
this state to each of these meetings.
1t would be we'll to have them in
structed by the appointing powers
which name them, to use their best
efforts to secure the reaffirmation of
the sentiment that such bureau
should be established at once. With
this instruction the delegates should
leave no stone unturned to bring the
attention of the president of the
United States, and the attention of
congress to the subject, in SO con-
vincing and forcible manner, that
the wishes of the mining men of the
entire country would be acceded to,
and the department would then be
organized at once.
The mining industry is growing SO
rapidly, and is SO rapidly assuming
Titanic proportions, that it is time
that it should be officially recog-
nized by the government.
The department of agriculture, the
department of commerce and labor,
are comparatively recent additions to
the departmental system of the ma
tional government.
What they have done for these
branches of our multitudinous ac-
tivity cannot be estimated. What
department of mines and mining
might be able to do, would be no less
important in the economic develop
ment of the nation.
