one angler in one day in Mirror lake
Mr.. Hayden delights to abandon the
city for time and fine pleasure in
casting his line on the placid water OF
some Wisconsin lake or stream.
He has two sons, Albert and Julian,
who have accompanied him on his
fishing trips here, since Albert was $
and Julian years of age. Like their
father they are expert fisherman. The
young men are now mechanical
engineers, having graduated from the
Armour Institute one year ago. They
were surveying at Estes park in the
Rocky mountains last summer and at
present are building large summer
home there for the family.
In manufacturing lumber for
building purposes they have converted
their large Winton touring car into
a sawmill.
Mr.. Hayden is noted for his kind
heartedness and generosity to which
quite a number of the citizens of Delton
can testify. When the M. E. church
was being repaired he contributed
$500 to the fund, when the Holy
Cross church was also being built he
also gave $4,000 and when your cor
respondent lost his last cow by being
poisoned he received letter from Mr..
Hayden which contained cheek for
$4,000 and the only message were the
words:

NOTES FROM FOLEY, ALABAMA
Eggs Are Worth from 20 to Is Cents
per Dozen and Chickens are in
Demand

The demand for eggs here greatly
exceeds the supply and the price re-
mains stationary at from 20 to 25 cents
per dozen in the summer and in the
winter the price often goes to 40 cents.
Chickens are not so much in demand
locally although both Mobile and Pen
sacola pay high prices for them.
Business here is now greatly increas-
ed. New buildings are being erected,
the shingle mill is running full force
and the Magnolia Shingle company is
shipping a car or two of telegraph
poles every day. The stores are doing
good business and prosperity general
ly prevails. The livery stables are un-
able TO supply the demand for horses
and rigs.
The fishing at the fresh water lakes
about Is miles south of here is fine,sev
eral persons catching from 200 to 800
fishes in day and half. The rail-
road men from up the state have near
ly all been enjoying the sport.
About Is home-seekers arrived on
the last excursion and bought Is forty
acre lots and three town lots.
The shipping season is nearly over
for the time being. Elberta peaches
are now being shipped in quantities.
They are as good as the best.
Yours truly,
WALTER 6. WIGHT.

Epistie to His Mother from Mon
tana

Mrs. n. F. Baker, 333 South street,
Baraboo, has received an interesting
letter from her son, e. w. Baker, who
was formerly connected with the
Chicago &Northwestern here and who
is now with the Northern Pacific with
headquarters at Livingston, Montana.
In part he says:
1 have been very busy the last two
weeks, as we have had quite number
of washouts and all kinds of trouble.
am not in the office at present, but
am running a whitewash crew and
have $50 miles of track to whitewash.
l expect it will take three or four
weeks to do the work. After this work
is done I think Mr.. Auerbach is going
to give me fence gang. We have
Whitewashed the Park branch clear up
to Yellowstone park. The N. P. has
one of the prettiest depots at the park
that I have ever seen. 1t is construct
ed of Montana fir with the bark on the
logs and the ends of the logs painted
green. The windows and doors are
painted pure white and the frame work
green.
We are now II miles from the en-
trance to the park aud the Yellowstone
river flows at our feet. 1t is rather a
torrent than peaceful river from
Livingston to the source. Looking
up the canyon you see mountains as
far as the eye can see. Ten miles from
here is the DEVILS slide and 40 feet
from that is natural wall of rock
about feet, 10 inches thick, reaching
up to the top of the mountain.
We have within ten miles of us
man by the name of James George
one of the most eccentric characters In
the west. He is now an old man ant
also of Yellowstone park fame. Be
fore the n. P. built through the can
yon he owned and controlled the only
J right of way reaching the park
Yankee Jim, as he was called, charged
so cents and 81 1.O0 for horse or team
and it is said that he sued the N. P
for running his business and that b
received $27 900 as damages. He is

TIE Village Band

TIE Village Band
OF all the joys of boyhood recall with vain regret,
Regret because they far away,
The chefest of all the joys nev-r shall forget,
Was when the village band began play.
On summer evenings when the air was solemn-hke and
still,
It seemed that nothing could be half so sweet
AS when martial made your spinal column
thrill
The village band went playing down the street.
Rumpty-tumpity- -turn- -tum-tum!
Ali for the sound cf the old bass drum,
Drowning the strain of the plaintve flute,
Tootity-tootilty-tooti
Haunting my memory comes the groan
Fresh from the throat of the big trombone.
Never music one-haf so sweet
Rumpty-tootiy y-tweet-tweet-tweet!
Ah how we fellows dream the idle hours
And build ambitions castles in the air.
And every boy when he grew Of course was going to
play
Some instrument,-whch he didn't care.
Cornet or fife drum, flute it made no difference
then;
Twas all the same if only our small feet
Could be in line, and could help make the music
when
The village band went playing down the street.
Rumpity unpity- y-tum- -tum-tum!
Ah! for the sound of the old bass drum,
Drowning the strain of the plaintive flute,
Tootty-tootiy y-tootily-toot
Haunting my memory the groan
Fresh from the throat of the big trombone.

THE LAST TESTAMENT OF THE
LATE JOACHIM PAGEL IN THE
COURTS.
MANY HEIRS ARE INTERESTED
Deceased Was Long a Resident of
Sauk County and Left an Estate
Worth $4,000.

The last will and tes lament OF The
late Joachim Pagel is being contested
Years and years ago Henry Koenig
and Joachim Pagel owned the mill
at Leland. That was more than a
quarter of century ago, long befo re
the postoffice and other rlaces of busi-
ness appeared. It was then known as
the Koenig & Pagel mill. Mr.. Pagel
was married and Mr.. Koenig made his
home with him. Mrs. Pagel died and
they decided to sell the mill and dis
solved partnership, but the best of
friends.
In the course of tine Mr.. Koenig
married and then Mr.. Pagel took up
his home with him at Sauk City.
Afterwards he decided 10 reside with
T. A. Tschumpert who now lives on
Fourth avenue in BarabOO. After
wards he returned to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Koenig and after the death of
MIR. KOenig he still resided there and
that was the place of his residence at
the time of his death, although he
was in Baraboo when the end came.
He died on the first day of last April
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Steinbrink, 331 Seventh avenue, Bara-
boo, where he had come to make a
friendly visit and attend to some busi-
ness matters.
Had Made Several Wills.
Previous to his death he made sever
al wills and the last one was written
onrDecember "a, 1907. Only two are un-
der consideration Both are alike in that

and Louisa Haak Cloth are to each re-
ceive So 900. In will made previous to
last December F. A. Tschumpert was

children ofHenry and Christina Koe-
mig, ernest, Henry, Herbert and Ger
udCu. hdCu group vi uG1IS 10 w IC-
ceive So, 1000 according to the last will.
The remainder of the estate is to go to
Mrs. Koenig, who was not mentioned in
the previous will.
AS will be noted Mr.. Tschunpert is
contesting the will. The case came
before Judge Kelsey on Wednesday but
on account of no publication having
been made for the previous will it was
decided to postpone the matter until
August. A large number of witnessed
were present but Miss Emile Lodde
and Peter Zinz, who had witnessed the
last will, were examined. The ground
for the contest on nincompetency, undue
influence and improper execution o

E. Aug. Runge is the attorney fol-
the executor of the will, Herman O.
Kleiner and Attorney F. r. Bentley is
associated with Mr.. Runge. Groto.

NEW INDUSTRY OPENED BY
FRANK HERFORT UNDER FA.
VORABLE CONDITIONS
MARVELS OF MODERN MACHINERY
Practically the Whole Process is
Without the Aid ofHuman Hands
so Cans Minute.
lFrom Wednesdays DaiIy.)

Harvey OFT has the distinction of de-
livering the first load of peas to the
Baraboo Canning company The factory
started this morning and peas are now
being put up by the hundreds of cans.
Mr.. Herfort has rebuilt the factory
so that it is now a model plant
The peas are brought vines and all
and forked into viner which hulls
them. This machine cannot be pur-
chased but royalty is paid for each
can of peas put up. From the viner
they go to cleaner which is nothing
more than a tanning mill and from
this to grader which assorts the peas
in five classes according to size. They
are then washed in a squirrel cage,
bleached in vat of water and poured
into the pea filler. After the cans are
filled by machinery, they are wiped by
revolving brushes, capped by hand
and receive the acid for soldering from
number of brushes.
Fifty Sealed Each Minute.
When the cans, in their interesting
journey, reach the Gaping machine
they are sealed at the of so per minute.
The capper is novel affair and is
watched over by one person. A Upper
closes up the little hole in the can and
after being inspected the perfect cans
60 into crate for the cooker. After
being cooked and cooled the peas find
a resting place in the warehouse.
The process is an interesting sight
and but few people are required to ac-
complish so much work. Machinery
is the the giant in the factory.
The pea vines are hauled to big
silo where they will be preserved for
winter use.
The machinery for canning corn has
not all been placed. When that time
comes another description will not be
out of place.
Adolph Ibson is the foreman an
Bert DeKoeyer is the engineer.

CLEVER INOlaA
PASSED THE CHECK
He Marked II on the Back and a
Storekeeper Cashed 1t for Him.

Indicating that he could not write,
an Indian, believed to be named
Francisco China, got f. #. Scheele,
the North Fourth street merchant, to
cash a check for him for s54.s6, ac-
cept.ng a mark on the back as an en-
dorsement. The man had bought a
pair of shoes and a hat, and Mr..
Scheele. gave him the balance, forty
odd dollars. in cash in change. This
was last September. When Mr..
Scheele took the check to the bank,
he was told that payment on II had
been stopped by Max Paul Kempen-
ich. merchant of Peralta, who had
lost 1t.
Mr.. Scheele had never seen the
man before the time he cashed the
check and had only a vague descrip-
ton to give the authorities. How
ever, II was sufficient. Last night al
Isleta Deputy Sheriff Fred Heyn ar
rested the man on a warrant sworn
out In Judge McClellan's court. He
will be given a preliminary hearing
1t is believed that he is an educated
Indian and can write well, but evad'
ed endorsing the check by indicat'
ing that he could not write. which
II II were true, would be a very
clever ruse.
