A SECOND AVENUE SURPRISE
Party of Friends Enjoy Evening at the
r. Nehs Home.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

FFO0~O~A~S
Last evening when Mr.. Fred Nehs
of 305 Second avenue, was invited to
the home of a neighbor to spend a
pleasant hour, he donned his overcoat
and seated himself in an easy chair to
wait for his wife.
He was beginning to think that it
was taking her an insufferably long
time to get ready, when there was a
knock at the door; and upon his open
ing it there trooped into the room
about Is friends and neighbors who
proceeded to make merry in jolly,
social way.
He was informed that this was q, sur
prise on him and when he woul have
explained about the invitatiO Ae was
told that it was all part o the joke
So he DOTTED his overcoat and set in
with the rest for an evening of plea
sure.
A number of games were played and
in the later hours the ladies and gents
sat down to partake of the delicious re-
freshments served.
While vending their way home
ward each and every guest might have
been heard to heave sigh of regret
that the hours were so short and the
intervening time between such affairs
so long.

ALL-STARs VS. co. G.
First Game in South Side Hall Draws
Large Crowd
Rrom, Thursday's Daily.)

A great many enthusiasts and ad-
mirers of the sport gathered at the
South Side hall last evening to watch
the basket ball game between the Co.
O.. five of Madison and the city ALI
Star team, which took place in Ruh-
lands hall The train from Madison
was late and did not arrive until after
10 o'clock so that preliminary game
was arranged between the Baraboo
Second team and scrub five. The
Scrubs won out by score of A to 27.
The Baraboo-MadiSon game was call
ed at about 1920, and for the greater
part of the half Madison took lead.
Then Bruchman threw three field
baskets and the score was kept even at
the end of the half; Is to Is.
In the second the All-StarS got to-
gether with some better team work and
certainly put up great game. The
walk-aWay was such as to give them
an easy lead on the Go. G.. men and
the final score stood AZ to 20 in favor of
the home team.
The Co. G. five is considered to be
one of the best in this part of the coun-
try and BarabOO's victory will mean
great deal in the matter of the home
teams standing in the state. A re-
turn game will probably be played in
Madison in the near future.
The lineup and official score with
out field throws missed is as follows:

Manager Williams and his men are
to be given a great deal Of credit, not
only for the victory won, but because
of the Accommodations of the crowd at
the new hall. The seats are reserved
and ushers are present to show them.
The entire arrangement of seats, baskets
and field is as perfect as can be made,
iii the hall, and manager Williams can
be sure of good attendance at the
seasons games. The crowd last night
testified to the popularity of the new
scheme, an independent team. After
the game the floor was cleared, music
furnished, and the crowd enjoyed a
dance.
The next game will probably be with
Hill lSbOrO.

May Enter New Field

A special from Sioux City, last
week, says that Doctor Hinkhonse,
former pastor of the Audubon Presby-
terrain church, may leave the pastoral
work and devote his time to college
work The article says: Word has
reached Sioux City that the Rev. J f..
Hinkhouse, ID. D., of the Second Pres.
byterian church, has been approached
by the authorities Of two of the Iowa
Presbyterian colleges with view OF
getting him to accept position in the
executive force of these Institutions.
The first came from Parsons, at Fair
field, and the second from Lenox, at
Hopkinton. The doctor has given the
matter much consideration, but has
reached no conclusion so far, He has
liking for such work as this posi-
tion offers. In his twenty-five years
OF ministry in this state he has been
eminently successful along financial
and executiyelines. Hiswide acquaint-
ance in the state would stand him in
good stead for such work. He is just
now completing his third year OF very
successful work in Sioux City, and is
much attached to his church"

outgoing treasurer has been an honest
and capable official is not questioned.
| Until about year and q half ago he
gave the work his practical attention.
Since then his time has been given To
ether duties. his brother taking his
place ia the office. 1t is cnly a matter
of Justice TO say that since he has not
given his active attention to the labor
OF the Office he has not profited by the
salary, dividing that between the boys
who did the work. Mr. BRENNAN will
devote his time TO the Commercial
Savings Bank, and El mer will go 10
Sanddsky, Ohio, to assist in the man
agement of the One Minute Washer
Company, in whice he n financially
Interested.
The most noticeable change was in
the educational department where
Miss Ella M. Stearns assumes the du-
ties OF county superintendent, reiev-
ing Mr. Arthur Farquhar who retires
cessfnl work ia that difficult position.
OF the incoming superintendent IL is
unnecessary to add anything 10 what
was said during the campaign con-
cerning her fitness and Preparation
for the place She will cutter upon It's
duties with enthusiasm and give them
her devoted attention.
OF the outgoing superintendent we
take pleasure in speakiilw a wnrd 81

him To he highly deserving Mr. far
quhar has made a popular and, tlicient
officer He has been str0n% in nan
capable in in>unctlnn and
always cheerful and encb,fagin9 la
his manner toward the teachers The
fact that he has had but one appesll
case during his long term of service
shows that he has been diplomatic
and conservative. He has constantly |
kept in mind the need OF Improvement
OF school property and succeeded in
getting fairly good results. An effort
has been made to raise the standard
of teachers as high as possible, and
the effect has been an increase of
wages from five TO seven dollars per
month, the rate now running from
S34. 90 to 1920 with an increasing
tendency to employ the teachers for
the year instead of the term. Under
the new library law, which has been
complied with in all the districts,
every school is now supplied with the
nucleus at least of q good library for
the benefit of the children and resi-
dents OF the community. Mr. Far
quhar leaves the Office with the esteem
and good wishes of the teachers, pupils
and patrons who will be pleased To
hear of his success and reward in
other lines of business in which he
may engage.

1t is expected that the government
will recognize this fact by providing
for the Indians fair price for any
lands that may be henceforth removed
from that part of the public domain,
but even then the settler will find a
great opportunity here for establish
ing himself in new home.
There is very little rough land, the
soil is a rich black loan, with some
timber, ash, elm and box elder along
the creeks, and the grass is very
heavy; in fact, wild hay can be put
up with very little trouble on the
thousands OF acres of good farming
land found in Gregory and Trip
counties.
