FEELING OF OPTIMISM AMONG THE
 LOCAL FANS.
Players Start on the Road, Playing in Nashville Today-Record of Men
 for Last

 The players left last night for Nash vile, where they will begin today the first of twenty-four games on the road. four each with Nashville and Birming- western division.
 The team is playing fast game, and Baxter. a new man bought from Mc- Cioskey, will join them in Nashville to- day and probably go right in the game at first base.
 Ratchford has been playing a good game. but he is not hitting the ball like Malarky desires. The batting last week before; in the fivc games they got thirty-fiv hits. an average of seven a game. and twelve runs. something over two game. Wye Is leading the played in one game, hurting his ankle sliding to third in the Atlanta game Tuesday. Sam Apperious has got more hits than any of them thirteen in his being nine times at bat, has the high est average, with eleven hits in thir- teen games. Perry got eight times less at bat than Apperious. He also leads him in the percentage with eleven hits in fourteen games. Mike McCann got seven hits in the five games last wee kand seems to have struck bat ting streak.
 Houtz leads the. stolen base. record with seven. Apperious five and Perry three. Apperious and Anderson have clean slates in fielding, Apperious hav- ing thirty chances without an error, and Anderson twenty-four.

His tricks were all done easily and
good naturedly.
The dogs and other animals were
we'll trained and several unique tricks
were presented.

CLOVER CREAMERY
SOLD AGAIN

Attorney e. A. Evans was at Wood
lawn on Wednesday where he con-
Quoted the bankrupt sale of the Glover
creamery. 1t will be remembered that
on account of spreading out too much
the creamery was forced to close some
time ago and sale of the property was
held in BarabOo. At that time it was
bought for 5000 by Henry Sorge. The
court held that the price was too low
and ordered another sale. The highest
bid on Wednesday was SLIPS and
made by j. w. Claridge who formerly
conducted the creamery. Mr.. Sorge
bid 81, 700 but refused to go higher
The creamery is badly involved and
just how much the creditors will re-
ceive cannot be determined until two
cases growing out Of the difficulty
have been tried in the courts.

A Fine Record.

The Baraboo high school graduates
this year student with a remarkable
record. In the II years of schooling
Margaret Sansum has neither been
absent nor tardy once. Before coming
to the high school she attended the
school at Lyons and often, her father,
in order that she might not be absent
carried her on his shoulders through
the deep snow. Miss Margaret is
the fifth child of family of eight
children. Their industrious father
and mother have ever been ready to
sacrifice in order to give their children
good education and have taken
much pride in their success. Miss
Margaret hopes to continue her edu-
cation after teaching for a time. Her
fine record in attendance is now
climaxed by her splendid record as a
pupil which secured her the appoint
ment of valedictorian of her class.

NEW INDUSTRY
For THE GEM CITY
Young Men of the Gem City Have an
Invention that Promises
Much.

~ new industry will soon be in active
operations in Baraboo. 1t is the manu-
facture of new sausage machine
which, they say will fill long felt
want among the butchers.
About year ago Emil Gust, Lucirs
Bump and John Shields became thor
oughtly dissatisfied with the draw
backs of the enterprise sausage
machine. The bearings were so ar
ranged that it could not be run any
length of time without becoming
heated. The knives mashed the meat
too much, instead of cutting it, and
the meat always had 10 be handled
twice. They obviated the bearing
nuisanse by making their machine ball
bearing, and by making the screw fit
exactly without a shoulder to rub
against the main part of the machine;
they made their knives to cut on
slant instead of straight (as in the En-
terprise) which removed the trouble
caused by mashing the meat; and they
added another part to the machine
making it possible to cut the meat as
fine as desired without handling twice.
One is in operation now in Gusts meat
market, and it has proved, up to all
expectations. 1t is run by power and
will cut about 700 lbs. in one hour in
one cutting.
John Shields has sold his interest in
the patent to Joseph Herfort, and there
are associated with them in the pro-
ject also Irwin Bump and Frank
Capener. Joseph Herfort is a machin-
ist of some 10 years experience, and is
going to put all his ability into max
ing it mechanical success. They eX-
pect to secure foundry here and be-
gin operations as soon as possible.
Those who are competent to judge
say the machine will sell as fast as
they can be manufactured.

FIRST SERVICES
IN SAUK COUNTY

According to the best information
attainable, the first Memorial Day ser
vices were held in Sauk county on
May 30, 1870. During the previous
year Philip Cheek made trip to the
eastern states and while there observ-
ed the exercises as established by John
A. Logan. At that time his home was
in the town of Excelsior and in 1870
was instrumental inIhaving the day
observed at Ebenezer church, the con-
gregation being Protestant Metho-
dists. On May 80 of that year, Capt.
j. Fl. Whitney, now of North Free
dom, delivered the address. In let
ter he says:
North Freedom, Wis,
May 10, 1907.
To the editor: [ we'll remember de-
liVering the address at Excelsior
church, May 80, 1870, and think it was
the first in Sauk county. The church
was crowded and the wagons were fill
ed with people and stationed at the
open windows.
j. III. WHITNEY.
Mr.. Cheek says the old. church was
torn down about two years ago.
In another letter Capt. Whitney
writes that he thinks he was the first
to preach the Memorial Sunday SER
mon in BarabOO
Just when Memorial Day was estab-
lished in Baraboo is not generally
known. In case anyone can tell us
when the day was first recognized in
this city, the information will be CRATE
fully received at this office.

SKILLET CREEK
FARMERS CLUB
4~...,

The Skillet Greek Farmers club has
plenty of enthusiasm. There is large
membership, full attendance and all
enjoy the meetings. On Wednesday
evening the club met at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs.. Willis Ryan and dis
cussed the following question. Gre
solved that Women Should Vote"
The problem was most ably handled
and retained the attention of the large
gathering for over an hour. The af-
firmative was presented by Miss Anna
Douglas and George Carpenter while
the negative was discussed by Mrs. Will
liam Wickern, Mrs. Wilbur Cowles
and Principal Rundal of the Lyons
school. The argument on both sides
were excellent and covered the entire
range of the subject. After the discus
sion the judges, G. F. Kindschi, Henry
Hill and III. E. Cole, rendered de-
cision in the favor of the affirmative.
During the evening the company
was favored by a number of musical
selections by G. F. Kindschi, Miss
Ethel Rodwell and the Skillet Creek
orchestra everyone being loudly ap-
plauded. One of tbs most pleasing
numbers was dialect recitation by
Miss Floy Kimball. When she ap-
peared her complexion was akin to
Michigan plum and the tale she told
had to do with the colored folks down
in Dixie.
It was voted by the club to hold the
next meeting under the wide spread
ing trees at Skillet Falls on the Fourth
of July. There will be an excellent
dinner and lively occasion.

NEXT FALL
SAGER CASE is IN STATU QUO
Sipola and KaIsan Case is Continue d

The G. & n. w. Ry. Co. have paid
Justice Gemmill $13.4S, the amount of
the judgment and costs in the case of
the city of Baraboo against Oscar
Gilloth, to collect poll tax of $3.50 for
the year 1905. The certiorari proceed
ings pending in circuit court have
failed to stay execution of the Judge
ment. The payment made by the
railroad company, however, does not
affect the merits of the writ of certior-
ari sued out by Mr.. Gilloth which will
be finally determined by Judge
Stevens next September in the circuit
court. In case Mr.. Gilloth prevails he
will recover judgment for the $13.48

knights of Pythias Memorial,

On Memorial Day committee from
the knights of Pythias lodge in this
city, decorated the graves of departed
brothers in the local cemetery. There
are about a dozen who have gone to
their last sleep and it is the intention
to observe the memorial feature as the
years come and go. The lodge has set
apart June IL, as the day to be observ-
ed but it was thought best to decorate
the graves at the time it was done. For
some years the Woodmen of the
World have observed the custom and
it would be sp. .endid idea for all fra
ternal organizations to remember In
some way the workers who have gone
beyond.
