FREDERICK SCHOEPHOERSTER
Passed Away at Home in Prairie du
Is Sac-Was Old Resi-
dent.

Frederick Schoephoerster of Prairie
du Sac died Oct. 26. His health failed
since last spring, and on Oct. IL a
change for the worst was noticed.
Deceased was born in Nettlested,
Minden, Germany. At the age of
fifteen he came to America with friends
and lived near Waukesha three years.
In 1858 his parents, brothers, and sis
ters came to America and he made his
home with them in the town of Troy,
where his father died. In 1860 the
family moved to the town of Washing
ton. January 28, 1862, he was united
in marriage with Miss Barbara Jenne-
vein. This union was blessed with
ten children; five of whom preceded
him in death.
Mr.. Schoephoerster was a veteran OF
the Civil war, having been a member
of Company A., Sixth Wisconsin regi-
ment. He had 10 leave his wife,
mother, and two small children, one
of the latter passing away while he
was in the army, the other soon after
his return. From the town of Wash
ington he moved with his family to
the town of Troy and from there to
the town of Prairie du Sac, where he
resided until his death.
The death of his wife April 10, 1907,
was hard, blow for him, since which
time he often wished he. might follow
her soon. When the end was near he
was ready to go, and his last words
were, 81 am going home.' He was
hard worker and always provided
we'll for his family. He was man of
good, honest character and was high
esteemed by all who knew him.
The funeral services were held Fri
day forenoon in the Evangelical
church, conducted by Rev. g. HI.
Scheible, who spoke words of comfort
to the bereaved, and the mixed quartet
sang appropriate selections. The le-
mains were laid at rest in the Prairie
du Sac cemetery.
Two daughters, two sons, one BROTH
er, six grandchildren and many other
relatives and friends mourn his de-
parture.

A BUNCH OF WRECKS
Cars and Engines Do all Sorts
of Stunts at Ell
/ roy

The Elroy railroad yards have been
the scene of several minor wrecks
during the week. The steam wrecker
was called from Baraboo last Thursday
night to pick up several cars that were
knocked to pieces by train which
was pulling out OF. the OMAHA yards
opposite the old round house before
another had got into the clear which
was pulling into from the south.
Tuesday night another wreck took
place opposite the freight depot on the
Omaha side, in which several more
cars were badly damaged aud two
turned cross wise on the track, by
jumping the frog in the switch and
part of the cars taking one track while
others another. The two tracks were
here badly damaged and also it re-
quired the greater part of the day TO
get ready for travel. A number engin-
eers were grounded in the yards during
the week.-Elroy Leader.

years. Persons who reach old age say
that the view is clearer on the hill top

middle life which brings the greatest

The last sad rites of Claude ID. Coll
mar were held at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Alice GolImar, 619 Cen
ter street, Thursday. The father
of the deceased was brother of the
Gollmar Brothers who own the show
and cousin of Ringing Brothers who
are also interested in several cir
cuses. Many members of these two
families were present to pay their last
tribute TO the deceased. There were
also many members from the organiza-
tions of which he was a member: The
Brotherhood of Engineers, the United
Order of Foresters, the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows and the knights
of Pythias. Members from these organi-
cations acted as pail bearers, as follows:
L.. J. Barrett, M. Patterson, HI C. Black
Henry Tinkham, Louis Romelfnger
and N. r. Ferris.
There were many beautiful floral de-
signs from the relatives, friends
and lodges at home and some
came from Milwaukee, Aurora, Dur
and and other places. Rev. S.A. Ross,
pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal
church, spoke words of comfort for the
family.
The death ofMr.G Gollmar is particular
ly sad in that he was young man who
had just reached the MONDAY of life.

THE ACTUAL COST
Of THE !. NJ. c. A.
SECRETARY II. L. ROWE EX-
PLAINS THAT FEE IS
NOMINAL
EXPENSE PER MEMBER--$1O.22
Northwestern Railroad Company Sup
port Several Associa-
tiOnS
EXPENSE PER MEMBER -$1O.22

In reply to inquiries made by those
subscribing towards the Y. M. &. A,
as 10 the actual cost per member of
running the associa ton, Secretary FL.
L. Rowe says:
every few understand that the $500
membership fee does not cover the
running expenses for the year. Plac-
ing of the fee at such nominal sum is
to prevent the criticism of its being a
rich mans club and to give no young
man an excuse for not becoming a
member"
Careful study of the running ex-
penses of the past year develops that
it cost S1O.22 per member to run the
work fer the year, this being some
what less than the two previous years
when it cost little over $500. The
difference between the regular fee and
the actual cost of running for year is
made up by the annual contributions
of the citizens and the railroad COM
pany. The Northwestern company is
sustaining the Y. M. G. A. at nine
different points on its system, and
wherever it is a joint city and rail
road work they always insist on the
citizens doing their share towards sup
porting the organization"
"The citizens, committee that is do
ing the work of solicitation is meeting
with favor and hope to raise the
amount needed to claim the company's
subscription within the next few
days"

Otto Schadde, who has been very gen.
erous in his price, finishing and put

stranger at that place Thursday after
noon. The only Identification was a

Our generally quiet and peaceable
village was the scene of remarkable
excitement or Tuesday last. 1t seems
that the liquor sellers had been dis
pensing their nauseous merchandise
rather too freely to some men in town,
who it is said, were in the habit of
getting drunk, which resulted in the
abuse of their families. This aroused
a feeling of indignation in the breasts
of a number of ladies of this place,
and in secret conclave assembled, they
determined to destroy the liquor in
the various Eaverns and saloons that
they could peaceably lay their hands
on. Accordingly, about 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning, procession ofsome
fifty females was seen issuing from in,

Some extremely valuable informa-
ton for the wheat growers of Kan
sas is contained in an article by Pro-
fessor T. ]. Head1ee. head of the

sas State Agricultural college. which
appears in the most recent pamphlet
issued under the editorshiD of Pro
fessor J. H. Miller, superintendent of
agricultural college extension work

Quoted by the Agricultural college.
Professor Headlee's article con-
Germs the Hessian fly and the greater
wheat-straw worm, two insects which
are most likely to reduce the yield of
the 1910 wheat crop. Both did large
damage to the 1908 crop, and both
are in the present crop. The pre-
vention of the harm they do,
writes Professor Headlee, is almost
entirely a matter of better culture,
and the very efforts that should be
made to prevent their work will, with
minor exceptions. make for the
largest Weld of wheat.
The steps he suggests that should
be taken against the Hessian fly fol-
low:
Disk infested stubble Immediately
after harvest.
Pillow infested stubble under so
carefully three or four weeks later
that all of it will be at least five
inches below the surface of the soil,
and compact without dragging the
stubble to the surface.
Destroy all volunteer wheat before
the first of September.
Sow after the bulk of the flies have
emerged and deposited their eggs
after September 80 in northern third,
October in central third, and
October is in southern third
To put the greater wheat-straw
worm out of business he suggests the
frequent rotation of crops, or the
destruction of stubble, straw and
grasses along fences before the
middle of the following February.

cavalry, -co1ored soldiers, furnishes the
necessary grooms. 1t is found that
these coIored men make better grooms
for the high-class school horses than
do the average enlisted men of white
regiments. They like their work and
stay longer.
For the first two months the student
lis put on a, thoroughly trained horse in
order that he may comprehend what
such a horse is and have a model to
work up to. The trained animal also
shows up faults of Craftsmanship,
which the instructor and the rider can
both take account of and gradually
correct. During this time he also rides
daily a welI-trained jumper for the
same reasons. This work is all done in
the riding-hau, using the English sad
die mostly without stirrups, and
changing horses each day.
ut is Of course to be understood that
these officers are already fair riders.
War department orders direct that only
officers of special aptitude be selected
for Fort Riley, as it Is a place, not
where officers learn to ride, but rather
where good riders are formed into ac-
complished horsemen and useful in
structors.
"At the end of two months each man
is given a colt to train, and this may be
said to constitute his most important
work for the year; upon the results
obtained his Craftsmanship is largely
judged and his place in the class de-
termined; but more important to the.
service at large is the fact that through
this instruction correct and uniform
method of training remounts is assured
