A Little History.
John Fl. Hull, was born Dec. %, 1884,
at Greenbush, n. Y. When he was
two years ofage the family moved to a
place near SaratogaSprings of the same
state. When q years of age he went
to Chicago and entered the employ of
the Illinois and Wisconsin Railroad as
brakeman. He worked for the COM
pany through the ages of brakeman,
baggageman, freight conductor, pass
enger conductor to that Of train dis
patcher. During this time the railroad
changed its name to the Chicago ST..
Paul & Fond du Lac, and finally to the
name it now bears, the Chicago q
Northwestern.
It was while he was in Chicago that
he married Miss Harriet J. Near. Her
family had moved to Chicago from
Balston Spa, n. Y. where she was
born Sept. s, 1912.
The great Chicago fire occurred
while Mr.. Hull was living in Chicago.
This was an experience which left
rather unpleasant recollections and he
remembers the terrible struggles to
save lives and buildings.
In '72 he moved to Hudson, Wis,
where he was superintendent of the
West Wisconsin railroad, now known
as the Ohama line. In '73 he moved
to BaraboO. This was one year after
the construction of the railroad through
the Gem City. He was train dispach-
er in Baraboo and later train master
In '96 he retired. In 1889 he was elect
ed mayor of Baraboo. Last April he
was elected again to the same Office
For about the past thirty years MI
and Mrs. Hull and family have lived
in their present residence on Oak
street.

JOKE CAUSES INSANITY.
Attempts Suicide as Result of Friends
Stores.
;From Wednesdays DaiIy.)

Nels Ulrickson of Newport was ad-
judged insane Tuesday by Drs. M. w.
Taylor of Kilbourn and J. A. Roberts
of Portage, and was committed by
Judge Stroud to the ST ate hospital for
the insane at Mendoza, says the Por-
tage Democrat.
His plight is particularly sad one,
Ulrickson was model young man,
thrifty and industrious, had purchased
a farm and was contemplating mar
riage, it is said, when a number of his
friends decided to play practical joke
upon him. They agreed among them
selves to tell him that his sweetheart
had abandoned him. When one of them
met him it is said he would say to
UIrickson, "Well, see your girl has
gone back on you" Then would come
another and another with the same
story. UlricksOn would not believe the
first one, but when the others came
he began to worry and did not again
call upon his lady friend. He continued
! to worry and last Sunday took sui
cidal turn and tried to do away with
himself and later repeated the at
tempt, but was frustrated by those
who happened near.
His condition alarmed his friends and
they were forced to petition that he be
examined as to his sanity. Judge
Stroud, Sheriff Hawkes. and DR.. Rob
erts went to Kilbourn today and this
afternoon Sheriff Hawkes. took the un-
fortunate young man to Mendoza. AT
times he is quite rational and it is
hoped that he will recover under
proper treatment.
This incident should serve as warn
ing to all against the possible outcome
of practical joke.

Modern Civilization.

completed his first practical reaper in
1881 to the present. Included in this
is the story of Deering and others who
have lent their brains and hands to the
great work of perfecting farming inn
plements. 1t is wonderful Story-a
veritable romance of industry and
pluck upon the part of a few sturdy
Americans who, by inceSsant work
and unfaltering determination have
made the American harvester a neces-
sity to every civilized country. "TO-
day the sun never sets and the season
never closes for American harveSters.
1t is always harvest somewhere. The
ripple of the ripened grain goes round
the world and the American harvester
followsIit." 1t is not too much to say
that the reaper has done more to
abolish the man with the hoe and
raise the level of civilization than any
other modern invention. By lessen
ing the hardships of the eternal battle
for food it has made possible a wider
education for the masses than our am
cestorS dreamed of and has brought
wealth and luxury to the home of the
farmer. The book is written in pleas
ing style and is repleTe with interest
from the preface to tbs close. The il
lustrations are taken from photo
tographs showing the American har-
vester in use in different portions of
the world. The volume is neatly

"Shut up and walk on"
But he didn't.
He resisted Officer Delap, leaving a
a mark or two.
The officer landed him on the side
walk and.rubbed his face in the cement
walk until he groaned for mercy.
No sooner had he arisen and gotten
his eyes cleared than he lit into the
policeman again.
The officer was not pleased with the
turn of affairs were taking and got
busy in manner that made the law
resister gasp air.
1t took Marshal Buckley and officer
Delap to get the offender handcufed,
when he was taken to the Jail.
At the Jail the officers had to throw
him on the floor and sit on .himlin order
to get the handouts off.
Justice III. L.. Halsted bound him
over to the circuit court on the charge
of resisting an officer. This is an Of
fense which demands penalty of not
less than months in Jail or fine Of

The trouble occurred Saturday after
noon.
The fellows name is A. w. Jones.
It is said he was using improper
language on the South Side and per-
sisted in doing so.
