STRANGE MAN
FROM MADv|LLE

An exchange tells of a man who got
mad because he received a notice from
the publisher of paper that his sub
scription was due. The subscriber had
taken the paper for whole year, read
it every week and his family also read
it. The publisher had bought the pa
per on which it had been printed, had
hired several people to set the type,
had done the printing and paid the
postage. The paper company, has hir-
ed help or the postotfice would not
wait whole year to be paid as he
had waited on the subscriber
who resided in Madville. The pub
Usher had to advance the money.
Would the man from Madville
work for some man whole year with
out his pay? Would he sell load of
gram or hay and expect to wait year
to get his money? The man from
Madville would be the first to 60 after
his cash.

Beware of Flies.

Flies are great menance to health.
It has been proved that they cause
many diseases, and, therefore, babies
should be carefully protected from
them. We know that the fly causes a
large percentage of typhoid-fever cases
and that it is the chief disseminator of
of diarrheal diseases. Therefore, in
the beginning of summer every moth
er should wage unceasing warfare on
the common household pest. The
number of bacteria on single fly may
range from $50 to 6,6O0,000. Early in
the season the number of bacteria is
comparatively small, but it increases
rapidly with the progress of the sum-
mer. Screen all food-The Delineat-

ALARM FOR ELROY
Northwestern rlay Shift Business
to Camp Douglas When New
Track is Made

The rumor is prevalent here that a
move has already been started by the
Chicago and North Western railway
to abandon Elroy as railroad center
and give Camp Douglas the present
patronage. 1t is planned to make the
latter place the junction point of the
Northwestern, Omaha and Milwau-
kee roads. 1t is said engineers and
surveyors have been at work for some
time on a proposed straight line on the
Northwestern to Sparta. La Crosse
and other points. One of the main
reasons for the change is said to do
away with troubles at the tunnels
north of Elroy.

YELLOW THUNDER'S GRAVE
The Place VIII be rlarked by the
Historical Society Next
Month.

There was some uncertainty as to
the location of Chief Yellow Thunder's
grave so an investigation was made
by City Engineer III. E. French, Will.
liam Calvert, Edmund Calvert and III.
E. Cole. The grave is on 40 acres of
land owned by George Harrison in the
town of Fairfield. When the wife of
Yellow Thunder was buried many
years ago William Calvert assisted in
digging the grave and when Yellow
Thunder died Edmund Calvert helped
to prepare the last resting place of the
chief.
Edmund Calvert recalled that some
years afterward that he noticed the
bones lying upon the ground near the
grave where some curious person had
left them. William Calvert said that
when he came back from the west dur
ing the Worlds Fair at Chicago mat
he also saw the bones upon the ground
and buried themsIagain in the sandy
soil.
1t had been decided by the Sauk
County Historical society to mark the
grave of the chief next month and it was
thought best to be sure about the loca-
ton first. Both of the Calverts who re-
side near there kindly consented to go
and the place was visited. The graves
are in the woodswith many depressions
all about. After some searching the
place was located and to be sure of the
graves an investigation was made.
It was found that the remains of the
chief were there and those of his wife
also. Strange to say a decayed
portion of the blanket in
which he was wrapped was also
found. This will be placed in the his
torical society collection. 1t had been
buried 16 years. The difference in the
of the bones showed that
the wife of the chief had been buried
much longer. Everything was re-
placed and the spot will be marked by
the members of the Sauk County
Historical society and the Twentieth
Century club as they go to
Newport on their annual pilgrimage |
on August 27. Mr.. French is now pre-
pairing design to be placed at the |
graves. 1t will be made of native |
boulders and cement.

Uncle Toms Cabin

Terry's big Uncle Toms Cabin Tent
show was here last night and had a
large audience. They certainly are all
they claim to be and more. Their pa
rade was good, better than that of the
ordinary circus, and the music furn-
ished by their bands was certainly
fine. The entertainment furnished in
the tent was of varied nature and
pleasing. Altogether their claim to be
"King and Monarch of them alp is
not at all out of the way.-Times, Fen
nimore, Wis.

A Hard Race.

The event resembles test for dust
eating ability rather than a contest for
supremacy among the various types of
automobiles. The condition of the
roads is excellent, except for short
stretches, as compared with the deep
mud and rough going experienced by
the pathfnders when they went over
the same roads two months ago.
The drivers now have lost their fears
in regard to the road conditions and
one old-timer declared that the tour
threatens to become an endurance con-
test for occupants and expense ac-
counts, rather than an automobile COM
petition. Certainly the long distances
scheduled daily by the committee
make the tour tiresome for the travel
ers and the hotel proprietors are over
looking no chances to reap an early
summer harvest.
Good Roads i'm Wisconsin.
B. E. Stillingsworth, driving the
Maxwell press car, established a pace
of 35 miles an hour from Chicago to
Madison Wednesday afternoon and
after experiencing all kinds of going
in his native state marvels that
anybody shorlu criticize Wisconsin
roads. Speed driving, however, is not
so much feature of this years tour
as in past events, owing to the fact
that the technical committee will
penalize all cars found to be out of
condition after the tour is completed.
Drivers, therefore, are saving their cars
as far as possible practically as tAe
distance is longer than ever before.
Waiting With Guns.
Old time entrants of teams such as
the Pierce, White, Premier, Chalmers
Detroit, Thomas and others have figur-
ed their running schedule to fraction
and cannot be persuaded to hit up fast
pace merely for the sake of entertain
ing the populace of small towns along
the route. Nearly all the spectators re-
gard the event as a race and cannot
understand why the drivers do not at
tempt to pass each other. This feature
will be more noticeable in Nebraska
where farmers are said to sit on the
fence wirh guns and threaten to shoot
drivers who do not travel fast enough.
This rumor is confirmed by George
Meinzinger, driver of the Studebaker
Pathfinder, who states that the only
speed limit in Nebraska and eastern
Colorado is the capacity of the motor.
The Press
Six cars, the largest nomination by
any one manufacturing concern, have

official pilot car, containing Dai Lew

VIRGINIA (. 0. p.
 IN CONVENTION

Newport News, Va, July 8-Tariff speeches by representatives in Congress from the east and west-Slemp of Vir- ginia and Mckinley Of California-and a talk on immigration by Assistant Secre- tary of Commerce and Labor McHarg divided interest at the first days session here of the Virginia republican convention with the gubernatorial contest and differ ences over state issues, foremost of which is statewide prohibition.
 AS one of the first state conventions since Taft's inauguration, this gathering has been regarded in advance as a sort of thermometer of republican sentiment toward the new incumbent of the White House. As though measured by Fahren- heit-it was about 90 degrees in the con- vention hall today-the mercury expand ed with each mention of the Presidents name. Roosevelt also came in for his share of the mention and corresponding acclaim.
 At late hour tonight it was uncer- tain whether the nominee for governor would be Representative c. Bascom Slemp, state chairman and representative of the Ninth district, or William P Kent of Wythe.

THAW PUT UNDER
 HARD CHILLING

White Plains, N. r., July 2S.-Harry K. Thaw's fate lay in his own hands today. For six hours he occupied the witness stand, while District Attorney Jerome, the man who twice tried to send him to prison and who once already had thwart- ed an effort to release him from a crim- inal insane asylum, delved into his lifes history. Thaw emerged creditably from the ordeal. Whatever Jerome and his alienists may make of the examination to the eye and ear of the layman Stan ford Whites slayer showed no signs of insanity on the stand today.
 Tonight Thaw, the members of his fam fly and his retinue of attorneys and ex- perts were unanimous in their opinion that he has proved his fitness to be at large. His friends believe that if he &C., quits himself In the future as well as today Justice Mills will have no choice but to grant his application for release from Matteawan.
 But Thaw's ordeal is not over. He will remain on the witness stand tomorrow and perhaps a day longer.
