CLUB MEETING
(From Fridays Da1ly.)

A red letter day in the history of the
Twentieth Century club was the meet
ing held at the home of Mrs. Train,
Thursday afternoon. Miss Ellis of st.
Paul, who is member, sent paper
on sunshine work, which was read by
Mrs. Hill. Miss Ellis gives a large
share Of her time to sunshine work,
being state organizer for Minnesota.
She is, therefore, thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with her subject, and her paper
was listened to with much interest.
An account of our local sunshine club
was contributed by Mrs. Goddard, the
president. From this it app ars that
we have very active organization in
our midst, consisting mostly of young
girls. They hold regular meetings and
have already sown many seeds of kind
ness and scattered much sunshine in
many places where they were lacking.
Civil Service reform, which Mrs. Sarah
Platt Decker declares sis religion, not
politics." was also represented upon
the program. In the absence of Mrs.
Lucy Case paper on the same sub
ject by Mrs. Emma M. La Penctiere,
of Minneapolis, was read by Mrs.
Runge and discussed by the club. At
the business meeting, the new presi-
dent, Mrs. Hill, was formally INSTALL
ed. Soon, however, Mrs. Train took
charge Of affairs and the occasion took
on social aspect. AS feasting and
informal visiting are rare features in
the Twentieth Century, the innovation
was the more enjoyed, especially since
two former members were present to
renew allegiance. For almost decade
common bond of sympathy has
united the membership, and the tie
grows stronger as the time goes on.
The club feels indebted to Mr.. and Mrs.
Train for delightful afternoon. June
II was set tor the club picnic at the
| Lake.

A large number of relatives and
friends was in attendance at the funer-
al of Mrs. B. I. Durward, which was
held in St. Joseph's church this morn
ing at nine o'clock. Mrs. Durward
died in Chicago on Tuesday morning,
where she was staying with her daugh-
ter, after a short illness. Rev. P. F..
Garrity of Reedsburg, preached the
sermon, taking for his text, Prov. 81;
10. Among other things he spoke of
the influence of womanhood and ma
ternity that was felt in the hearts and
minds of everyone throughout the
land. Regarding the deceased, he re-
ferred to the influence she had upon
her offspring, two of whom are now
serving the Almighty at his altar. The
hand that rocks the cradle rules the
world. There is period in a mans
life when he requires the influence of
his mother, even as child when in
trouble goes to her for solace and COM
fort. He needs some higher infiuenc-
ing power; this he finds in mother. If
glory be attributed to woman who
has accomplished much in the rearing
of one child for God, how much more
should be attributed to the mother
who has gi ven to Gods altar two Wor-

Alderman McFetridge offered res
olution that in view of the fact that
the governor, state officials, legislature,
and press representatives are coming
to DEVILS lake, May 1, to investigate
the feasibility of making a state park
out of the lake and the immediate sur
roundings, it would be in order for the
council to recommend to the citizens
of Baraboo and vicinity to turn out as
far as possible to greet the visitors and
show them that they are also interest
ed in the proposed park. Mr.. McFet-
ridge argued that official recognition
of the movement by the council would
go great way in helping it along,
and that proclamation by the mayor
to that effect would be appropriate.

spondent and Is Granted a De-
cree in New York Court.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The wife of Giuseppe Creatore, di-
rector of the famous Italian band
which played at Madison several times,
has been granted a divorce from her
husband in a court in New York i.
Joanna Barrilli, the vocal soloist with
Creatore's band for the past several
years, is named as correspondent.
Madame Creatore created a sensa-
ton last summer when she caused the
arrest of Creatore at Detroit, charging
him with desertion, and alleging that
out of his large earnings he had made
no provision for the support of his
family. The troubles were patched up,
but were later followed by a divorce
proceeding, to which Creatore offered
no resistance.

QUEER INDIAN
DIVORCE CASES

According to the April term court
calendar at Bonesteel, S. D., the In
dians are fast adopting the ways of the
whites when it comes to divorces.
The complaints would indicate that
the Indians apparently have better
reasons for desiring that their marital
bonds be served than is oftentimes the
case with their white brothers and
sisters. For instance, James Ghost
Walk wants a divorce from his wife,
Bessie Ghost Walk, on the ground
that she eIOped with Walking Soldier
The facts in the case Ghost Walk eX
poets to prove by Thomas Two Stocks
and William Bear. The complaint al
so asks for the custody of his child,
Mollie Three Thighs Ghost Walk.
A case in which the wife is the COM
plainant is that of Alice Good Musk
rat who asks for divorce from her
husband Henry, who is charged with
eloping with Flora Walks as She
Jumps. The plaintiff wants her
maiden name of Alice High Kicker
restored.
Another case is entitled Poor Man
Star Boy. Poor Man alleges that
Jenny ran away from him four years
ago and took up her abode with an
Indian named Walking Thunder, with
whom she is now living. His witnesses
in the case will be Three Dogs, Kicks
High and Three Moons.
Kate Belt, after waiting three years
for Anthony Belt to return, sues for
a divorce and alimony in the shape
of slice of Anthony's land and some
of his ponies and blankets. Mule
Driver, High Hawk and Walks Over
will be the witnesses for the plaint-
if.
Holy Track wants a divorce from
Never Stampede, who is alleged to
have belied his name by stampeding
with Anna Buffalo Pipe. White Belly
Three Toes and One Tail are expected
to prove the facts alleged by Mrs.
Holy Track.
One of the most peculiar cases on
the docket is that Josephine Dog
Soldier who gives most novel reasons
for desiring a divorce from her
spouce. She declares that when she
was sick Dog Soldier bought a coffin
and made preparations for her funer-
al and when she got we'll Dog Soldier
became very angry, threatened to
shoot her, knocked her leg out of
Joint and finally drove her away from
home. She expects to prove these al
legations by Left Handed Thunder,
Whistling Crow and Rattling Shield.
Other cases that will be tried be-
fore the term of court is ended are
those of Picket Pin VS.. Mary Picket
Pin; James Bull Tail VS.. Bear Bull
Tail; Helen Turning Bear VS.. Fred
Left Hand; His Horse Standing VS..
White Whirl Wind, and Hail Fast
Horse VS.. Fast Horse.

THE LITTLE MOTHER

SoNG:- By N. G.. ABBOTT OF OKEE,
A sweet little girl, with eyes of sky
blue,
Sat playing one day, as little girls
do,
With an armful of dollies all laid in
row,
The while she was saying in tones
soft and low:
"The names of my dollies [ will now
tell to you;
Nellie. and Flossie, and Bessie,
and Sue,
Katie, and Hattie, Matilda and Flo:-
My eight little dollies asleep in a
row."
AS the years passed away the little
girl grew
To blushing fair maiden, as little
girls do,
And many fond lovers upon her did
wait,
And along in row hung over her
gate.
Now the names of her lovers, if you
wish to know
Were Willie, and Johnnie, and Tom
my, and Joe,
Harry, and Peter, Ebeneezer and Nate,
These were the lovers that hung o'er
her gate.
At last she got married to Willie, so
true
And went to house keeping, as little
girls do
Soon an armful of babies all slept in a
row,
The while she was saying in tones
soft and low
"The names of my babies 1 will now
tell to you;
They're Nellie, and Flossie, and
Bessie, and Sue,
Harry, and Peter, Ebeneezer and joe
My eight cherub babies asleep in a
row.

JURY DECIDES
DRALLE CASE

In the case of Dralle VS.. town of
Reedsburg, the complaint alleges that
rock in the highway caused the fall
of the complainant, Mrs. Dralle, from
which serious injuries resulted. The
injuries which are claimed resulted
from the fall are, curvature of theSspine,
wasting away of the muscles on the
left side and daily pains. The case
came up for the first time last year
when Judge Stevens directed a YER
dict for the town on the ground of con-
tributory negligence. This decision
was reversed in the supreme court,
which held that the question of contri
butory negligence should have been
submitted to jury.
The case was before the court for
about three days and went to the jury
Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock.
They were out until three o'clock this
morning when they placed sealed
verdict into the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Kahn, who had them in charge
during this time. At nine o'clock the
verdict in favor of the plaintiff was
read. If any damages were to be
granted, 81 900 was fixed by the jury
as the amount. The jurors disagreed
at once regarding the point of contrib
utory negligence, in the verdict, some
saying that it was not their verdict.
They were sent out again, and upon
their return reversed the verdict and
were discharged.
Unless the verdict is set aside by the
court, town of Reedsburg wins out
and the plaintiff gets no damages. We
understand, however, that an applica-
ton will be made for new trial on the
grounds that the jury was misinform-
ed as to the facts and returned ver-
dict which they did not intend.
In the case of Catherine Davy VS.
Anna Davy and others, of Westfield,
partition suit, the report of the
referee was confirmed.
In the case of Vetter VS.. Schmidtke,
the plaintiff charges that the defend
ant misrepresented the value of the

with Loeur. Family quarrels became
frequ:nt and finally divorce proceed
ings were instituted. Last week Louis
Loeur rented his farm and with his
family of five children left, not telling
his destination. The next day Mrs.
