REPORT is FILED
Statement rlade by e. F. Dithmar of
the Republican County
Committee

Chairman E. F. Dithmar of the Re
publican campaign committee has filed
his report of the receipts and disburse-
ments during his administration. The
report shows that there was turned ov-
er from the last campaign the sum of
$1.22 and there was received from the
candidates $3.50, making a total of
$661.22. There was spent in various
ways during the campaign the sum of
$559.16. At the last meeting of the
committee it was decided to lay aside
the sum of $15 to start the next cam
paign. This leaves $87 .O6, which has
been returned to the candidates in
proportion to the amount they con-
tributed to the cause.
A number of bills were presented,
which in the opinion of the committee
should not be paid, as the service rem
dered was not authorized. If these
had been paid there would not have
been money enough to have met all
claims.
None of the members of the commit
tee charged for service or expenses In
any way. All paid their railroad fares
and other expenses out of their own
pockets.
The campaign was clean in all re.
spects and the members are to be con-
graduated on the excellent service rem
dered to the G. o. p.

Mrs. FL. S. Turney, 88, but alert
mentally as ever and by no means in
ective physically, recalls clearly the
Cime when P. T. Barnum, later the
greatest circus man of his day, was
reaching universal salvation and tenn
yerance in the neighborhood of his
Connecticut home. That was in her
}irlhood, perhaps 70 years ago. Bar
lum, who lived at Bridgeport, was a
nan of fine moral worth and broad
Christian spirit, proclaimed his ele-
ating views freely along the country
side, playing the part almost of an
itinerant evangelist. Later gleefully
4e befooled the public with "wooly
horse" and other fakes because "peo-
pie like to be humbugged", he jocu-

ed to our own Ringlings; and the good
worthy Mrs. Turney's span of life
comprehends a period considerably
surprising all that prevails of Ameri'
can circusdom, from its. beginning
lown to the present day. She was
born the very year in which the great
Napoleon died on st. Helena, and fol

TO make the community what it is.
The old home has long since passed
away, but that it is still held in sacred
memory by the children, grandchild-
rem and great grandchildren, is testi-
lied TO by the splendid outbursts of
sentiment, in poetry and prose, which
greet nearly everyone of these re-
unions.
The following were elected officers
for the ensuing year: Joel Hackett,

dent and Geo. w. Hackett, secretary

SEVERE STORM
SWEEPS SOME

The little tree on oak street in front
of the opera house property is down.
It remained for the fierce wind of We'd
nesGay evening to finish career of
struggle against adversely which caused
comment among the older residents.
AS far back as the time when the old
opera house was not yet a theatre,
and was used for a skating rink, that
little tree was big enough to be used as
hitching post. The horses nibbled
away the bark on one side, while the
other continued it's contest for life. 1t
seemed to be measureably successful,
too, until the opera house was burned
a few years ago. Then thu heat was so
intense that the tree we'll nigh gave
up. Yet it did not die. Even last
summer green branch appeared, but
its days were numbered.
The final disaster came Wednesday
night when wind that nearly rivalled
the one of last June in ferocity struck
town and blew over this lifeless tree.
Several other damages were done
about town. Windows were blown in
at the Bert Gollmar Dye Works and at
the residence of Walter g. Curry.
A tree was blown down at 608 Second
avenue, nearly smashing in the bay
window. Another tree was blown
down at the Southeast corner of Ridge
street and Second avenue.
Foot Bridge Gone.
The foot bridge to Lyons was swept
from the piers and turned over into
the Baraboo river, the ends still fasten.
ed to the opposite banks. This cross.
ing had just been used by numerous
people few moments before. Frank
Farwell noticed it first right after the
storm and crossed the stream in the
old fashioned manner of ferrying by
boat.

JAWS REPAIRED WITH WIRE
A. Wood of WoodIaWn Recalls an Tn%w~.
cident of over Half a Century
Ago

Attorney A. Wood of WoodIawn
writes that it is sometimes said that
there is nothing new under the sun.
In referring to an item running in the
papers as being new and remarkable
he says that it is antedated nearly
sixty years by asim1lar occurrrnce at
Emerald Grove in Rock county, this
state.
The item referred to speaks of wiring
up the broken jaw of Esther Kirchoff,
girl of eight years of age. Mr.. Wood
says it calls to mind an incident i'm
h.. county which occurred in 1853 or
1854. An aged man, nearly ninety
years old, had his jaw badly broken
and Mr.. Woods father, DR.. w. A.
Wood, was called 10 attend. The Jaw
was set and then wired by the aid of
silversmith named Densmore, who
was living in the neighborhood, but
man of no surgical training.

credit, and the Hackett orchestra add
ed much to the pleasure of the pro-
gram. At about six o'clock the table
was again spread and the reserve of
the commissary department, which
was abundant, proclaimed sufficient
reason why Thanksgiving day should
be observed by grateful people.
Shortly after seven o'clock stirring

the evening program, which consisted
of music, instrumental and vocal, re-

This 9th reunion of the Hacketts
was splendid success in every re-
spect and the spirit of affiliation was
everywhere made manifest.
It is most remarkable that of the ten
children of Samuel and Dency Hack

still survive and were all present at

 Mir. Bryan has. up to the present time in the political battle, demon strated to the republican leaders that they have the fight of their lives cn hand now. The organization of that party has been put to route and only a few days ago it was recognized by Taft and his closer friends that it was necessary to call a man of larger scope and experience to handle the political job on hand. The Foraker incident is also regarded as one which will cost the party heavily in several of the states where Senator Foraker has friends who will resent the trounc- ing given him by the president.
