The Funeral.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The funeral of the late J. G. Train
was held from the residence this morn
ing, Rev. F. A. Gilmore of the Uni.
taran church of Madison officiating.
Rev. Gilmore gave brief account OF
the life of the deceased, referring par
ticularly to the fact that Mr.. Train
was one of the founders of the state,
who, unlike those who hurried to Cali
fornia for gold, settled in the Badger
state to found a commonwealth. They
taxed themselves for roads, schools
and churches, thus forming the begin
ming of the civilization we now enjoy.
He said that the sketch of his life
could give no idea of the character of
the man who was so we'll known and
whose word was as good as his bond.
The speaker spoke of the prospective
character of living. "What is Heaven
for but to receive such souls as this
and provide field for their further
Development" he said He quoted
those lines from Emerson's ThrenOdy:
"What is excellent
AS God lives is permanent.
Hearts are dust;
Hearts loves remain;
Hearts love shall meet thee again

OF the Old Settlers grounds at The lake
Although the silk worm industry
'nas'ses.is tsGpskea fFnn1 time I fasamea2o- fs2m
rial, it has been only within the past
few years, when, by the process Of
selection, it has been possible to
eliminate almost all traces OF diseases
which threatened eventually to ruin
the business. This is done by taking
the eggs of only these worms, which,
when examined, show no traces OF the
four diseases which science has
discovered are the disastrous factors.

Spring Green, in southern Wiscon'
sin, was pretty town, even in its un-
kept days. Its houses are simple and
substantial, its lawn are broad, and its
wide streets are elm and maple-shaded.
Here and there throughout the town
there have always been few care
fully kept, well-mowed lawns which
showedsthe diligent care of the flower
lover. These, however, were rather
the exception. AS in other towns OF
its kind, the well-kept places alternated
with the neglected. The grass plots
outside the walks next to the street
were left untouched. Weeds grew
and f1ourished in the side streets.
Once a year the village board hired
man to cut the weeds. This was some
times done with a mower which left
the corners and edges untouched. 1t
was sometimes done with scythe,
with which the tops of the tall weeds
were shipped off. At best the opera
ton was delayed until late in the sea-
son just before seed time, and all
through the summer the burdock and
the plantan and the ragweed Haunted
themselves on the byway and high
way, in side street and alley.
The advisability of forming a village
improvement society was sometimes
suggested, but no one took the matter
up, and, on the whole, a mans in
herent right TO raise crop of timothy
in his frong yard if he so desired was
unquestioned.
Then in the spring Of 1907 the town
made ready to celebrate its seni-cen~
terlniaI. A prominent former citizen
offered & prize to the school district in
the vicinity making the most improve
1neas III its school grounds. The wo"

grounds and park. The village Board
began ts, think Of hiring q weed"cUttcl

LAST SUMMONS COMES TOJ.
TRAIN WHILE SITTING IN HIS
ROCKING CHAIR.
A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE
Drafted the Baraboo City Charter
Was First City Clerk-FuneraI
Friday.

The community was shocked on
Tuesday evening to learn that j. G.
Train had suddenly passed away at
his home at 727 Eighth street. He
had not been in good health for some
time but was able to be about the
house and lawn during the day. In
the evening about six o'clock while
sitting in his rocking chair he passed
away. Mrs. Train was with him at
the time, as was also Mrs. w. w. Cole
of Minneapolis who had come to visit
them, arriving but about an hour be-
fore. Mrs. Cole hastened to the home
of neighbor and hurried message
was sent to a physician who arrived
soon after. Death was due to old age
and heart failure.
Mr.. Train was born in Merrimack
county, New Hampshire, March 2,
1880. He was therefore more than Is
years of age. He studied law with M.
w. Tappan and was admitted to the
bar in 1858. In 1849 he first came to
BaraboO aud in the same year in
which he was admitted to the bar he
moved his family to the county and
has resided here since then. For ten
years he followed farmiug liz the town
OF Mcrrm2ck and had 4 beautiful
place sonn distance west OF bile village.
On the place were number Of fine
Indian mounds and OH ths Garm were
often picked up stone implements Of
the aboriginal race. The town OF Mer-
rjmaek was given It's name Dy Mrs,
Train, from tIlcir OH homg ia New
England.

Prizes Awarded.

The prizes wele to be awarded on
"HOmecomers' Day" at the fair held
in the fall. And wanderers returning
to the old home for that day found
that a change had taken place in the
appearance of their town. The neat,
slightly places were no longer the ex-
ceptiOn. Residents had found that a
Well-mOWed front yard necessitated
more care of the back yard. They
found, too, that the esthetic effect of
the most beautiful lawn is quite lost
If weeds and tall grass run riot at the
edge OF it. So the grass plots outside
had been considered as part of the
premises, and the man with the scythe
found less work to do on the ragweed
and burdock, and, to his credit let it
be said, the work he did find to do was
better done.
''How nice your yard is looking this
summer" visitors remarked. care

announcement. Five small prizes
would be given at the end of the sum-

There had been no demonstration, no
organization of society, no public
appeal to civic patriotism. Only the
modest announcement in the village
paper. After that nothing more was
said.

Temperance Folks Are Divided.

The temperance forces of the state
are divided. They held meeting
at the Y. M. G. A. yesterday morning
for the purpose Of getting together
and beginning active work for prohi-
bition or local option. Those pres
ent could not agree on what to do
and committee OF IL is to be ap-
pointed and meet sometime during
the week while the Sunday school
convention is in session and try Il
unite the different factions.
A majority Of the ministers Of the
city were present and took sides with
the two factions. The delegates were
about evenly divided on the prohibi-
tion and local option questions. The
two factions vii lappoint comittee
OF three as will also the W. G. T. U.
and the Women's Civic improvement
club to try the and make a settle
ment as to what the two forces
should get together on and work Tor
1t with all their energy.
While some contend that prohibi-
ton IL the only thing for the tenn
perance workers to advocate others
are equally strong in their argu-
ments for local option.
The meeting was for the purpose
Of discussing the outlook Of the
temperance movement in Idaho. Sew
eral talks we're made and all we're
determined in their speeches that
something ought to be done, but
neither could succeed in making the
other see his or her point, either for
the local option or prohibition. /.
Mrs. e. G. Nichols addressed the
meeting on the subject: Woman,
Her Power and Place in Temper
ance Reform" She spoke for some
time along temperance lines and was
listened to eagerly by those present.
Woman. Her Power and Duty"
was the topic chosen by Mrs. Whitney
OF Mountain Home. She spoke along
similar lines as Mrs. Nichols and at
tackled the state laws in a vigorous
manner Statesman.

A Laudable Ambition.

The president Of the Twenty-third
district w. G. T. U. Of Missouri, Mrs.
May L. Woods, intends to place her
district on the honor roll this year
by having every county and town In
her territory under local prohibition.
Three counties are now dry. One
county, Lawrence, and the town OF
Neosho, remain wet, but 1t is believed
that both will vote out saloons at the
coming election. Part of Mcdonald
county, though nominally dry, has
not been so in reality. Now, how
ever, three Law Enforcement leagues
organized by Mrs. Woods workers
among the men. and the W. G. T. U.
among the women, bid fair to elimi-
nate the wet spots. Noel Law En-
forcement league is doing excellent
work, and has among its members the
best men of the community and the
town is "dry."-Union Signal
