, The church lights have been
repaired and cleaned so that
some even thought we had install

The good old summer time is
passing swiftly away, Monday the
2Ist was the longest day of the year
and from now on the days shorten,
soon the nights will be cool, and first
thing the farmer man knows he will
be hustling to get his crop in out of
the way of the frost.
John Russell is another man who
tried to leave Meade county and
coulden't stay away He came in
Ibis week with his wife, and will at
once take charge of the lumber yard
at Plains formerly managed by the
Brown brothers. John knows the
lumber business from the stump to
the collecting of bills after the
house is finished, he is an accomo-
dating fellow, and we think the com
pany has made good selection of
manager.

now stands. If some one had offer

found breath enough to accept the
offer, if he had not fallen in fit.
He is another one of the pioneers
who became wealthy by ''stlcking to

This week we publish the adver-
tisement Of the Kansas Wesleyan
Business College, of Salina Kan
sas This School has such a rep
utation for turning out thoroughly
prepared students that they have a
large call from banks and other
business institutions requiring per-
sons of undoubted academic acquire
ments. At the present time they
have three men who were elected
cashiers of as many different banks
and sent there for preparation for
their duties. A careful perusal of
their ad will be interesting and if
you are looking for school it will
be helpful.

SPEAKER STANTON
SECURES DELAY
THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
HOLDS UP ANTl-JAP BILL BY
UNANIMOUS MAJORITY.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 6.-Speaker
Stanton took the floor yesterday and
secured, by a strong personal appeal,
the unanimous consent of the assem-
bly, to postpone further action on the
Japanese school segregation bill until
next Wednesday. He declared that
he had information which he could
not reveal, that proved the assembly
was treading upon dangerous ground
in passing the anti-JapaAese bill.
At the conclusion of the speaker S
address, Grove L. Johnson, author OF
the measure, asked that the matter of
reconsideration of Thursdays vote be
put over until Wednesday, and his mo-
ton was carried without dissent.
The governor sent special mes
sage to the house, raising the point OF
the bills constitutionality, and til S
was the subject of a long debate dur
ing which it was suggested by the
leaders of both sides that the meas
ure be referred to the committee on
judiciary and submitted to the attor-
'ney general for an opinion as to its
legality.

PRACTICAL MOVE
FOR STATE PARKS
APPROPRIATION PROPOSED TO
ENABLE BOARD TO Sc
CURE SITES.
BOOK ISSUED FULL OF vALuA-
BILE INFORMATION AND
SUGGESTIONS.
Madison. February s.

A tangible move in the direction OF
state parks was made yesterday
when Senator c. L. Pearson OF the
Sank Columbia district introduced
bill making an appropriation to the
state park board of $4,000 annually
for the next three years for the crea-
ton of such parks. If this measure
should became a law fund of $225,-
900 would be at the disposal OF the
board. A fine beginning in nota-
BILE work could be made with such a
sum. Sites under consideration by
the board are 100 acres at the con-
fluence of the Wisconsin and Missis-
sippi rivers just above Prairie du
Chen, a beautiful tract of $500 acres
in Door county, with eight miles OF
shore line, the wondrous dells al
Kilbourn and the yet more wondrous
Devils lake. Blue Mounds, a great
elevation in the west end of Dane
county overlooking most of Iowa
county would also be most suitable
and desirable for park purposes. The
Pearson bill leaves the fund with the
park board to be used at its discre-
ton. 1t can, if the appropriation is

Contracts will be let today for the
erection of the Wisconsin memorial
monument in the Vicksburg national
military park. The commission ar
rived last night to consider bids. the
monument will be of Barre granite
ornamented by bronze tablets and ng-
.ures. 1t will cost 100000.
This monument will be one of
twelve to commem the siege and
defense of Vlcksburg. The battles
fought there are of the greatest in
history, and the states north and
south are adding to the park from
time to time features that will pre-
serve the memory of the events OF
So. Nine memorials are already fin
ished or in the course. of construc-
bama, Michigan and Wisconsin are
the states that have made appropria-
lions for monuments. The states
that are already represented on the
field are Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
York. Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
The Vicksburg National park, the
site for which the monument is in
tended. is one of the most pictur-
esque in the country 1t is elevated
and commands wide view of the ma
jestic Mississippi, embracing the field
of operations of the battles that oc-

of the memorable year The paths

are laid out with view of preserving
the historic value of the field. The
site dedicated to the Wisconsin me-
mortal is hill overlooking one of the
most interesting parts of the field.
The monument will be of fine quail
ity of white granite with a total
height of $40 feet. The platform
above the base will be about So by IS
feet. A shaft rising in the middle
will measure lis feet and viii be
surmounted by a bronze eagle. Stu
ated one on each side of the main
approach are the two great additions
of work in bronze.
In design the group is bold and
commanding, conceived in Greek
style. A broad tesselated terrace
with parapets is fanked by large
pedestals for the two large bronze
groups. On the right is the private
soldier on picket duty. On the left is
a wounded cavalry horse and trooper.
In the center of the terrace is the
monument designed in the style OF
the Greek Doric order, bearing a
bronze coat of arms of the state and
bronze descriptive tablet The
magnitude of this shaft will be appre
ciated when it is mentioned that its
diameter is eight feet Surmounting
it is the bronze eagle, suggested by
the pet name of the egiment-sThe
Eagle Regiment.

granted, proceed to acquire any one
or more OF the tracts it thinks best.
The board is composed of t. E. Brit
tingham of Madison, Senator E. b.
Browne of Waupaca and w. H. Nc
Fetridge of Baraboo. 1t has just is
sued its first report-a book of beau
tiful scenes calculated to impart some
idea. of the choice scenes in various
of the proposed parks; and the exqul-
site pictures are intermingled with de-
scriptive text of the places illustrat-
ed. John Nolen, landscape architect,
has convincing article on the justi-
fication of state parks; the board
tells effectively of the available sites,
of options secured and of much else
of related nature; there is letter by
former President Eliot of Harvard
describing what Massachusetts has
done in the way of parks, and urging
Wisconsin to act quickly while beau
ty spots are yet procurable; an arti-
Gle on a better and more beautiful
America by J Horace Mcfarland,
president of the American Civic as
ISOLATION; short note from Jacob
A. Riis, who says, II am for parks
always" a page by President C. r.
Van Hise, who speaks of the "imper-
alive necessity" or parks when the
state becomes densely populated;
letter from Ex-Governor Hoard, who
says, Il feel as though in some partic-
uIars we were almost at the turning
point in making such provision for
our state (parks) an enthusiastic
and encouraging communication from
John NJ. DIN, who is especially anx-
ious that not only beautiful lakes
shall be secured for the use of the
public, but that lands bordering wa
ters Sin area sufficiently large to
furnish to the people an opportunity
for outdoor life and recreation"
The book. all in all is powerful
appeal for parks.-and what cause is
of greater importance at the present
time in this state?
The direct recommendations made
by Mr.. Nolen are.
l. That the board be authorized to
secure the refusal of a park site AT
the Kilbourn dells.
2. That it be empowered to ac-
quire wild land up 20 5000 acres at
Devils lake and not TO exceed s25 per
acre, and as much shore line as pos
sible not to exceed 500 per acre.
g. That it be permitted to get the
Door county tract; also that in Craw-
ford county.

Who Fought With Grant at Vicksburg

the marvels in art, stately and impos-
ing. The motive of the picket on
duty is that of strong wind blowing
while the soldier is on the alert. The
theme of the wounded horse and cav
airy man is devotion and patriotism.
The soldier endorsed and facing
death, takes the last aim in the cause
for which he fought.
The parapet surrounding the base
on three sides is up to the chin OF an
ordinary man. Inside of this balus-
trade there will be bronze panels
bearing the names of all the soldiers
of the eighth Wisconsin regiment AT
the terminals of the balistrade will
be the pedestals bearing the bronze
figures-the picket on duty and the
wounded horse The main approach
is a fight of steps about thirty fee,
high Resting posts are arranged i'll

ribly mangled.
Condition Is Critical.
O'Connell was brought to Madison
and removed to the general hospital
DR.. Thomas w. Tormey, the local
physician of the Northwestern, said
last night that O'Connells condition
is critical and that his chances fol
recovery are. slight. His parents, Mr.
and Mrs Morris O'Connell. and sis
ter, of Livingston are with him at the
hospital Another sister will arrive
today. He is 25 years old. About six
years ago he was employed at the
Democrat.
Switch Crew Responsible.
At Whitson junction the Mineral
Point and Northern road, short line
running from Highland to a point
near Mineral Point, crosses the
tracks of the Northwestern road. A
train crew of the Mineral Point and
Northern was engaged in switching
at the junction and backed string
of ore cars over a track upon the
main line of the Northwestern. Dense
fog and a curve made it impossible
for Engineer Paddock to see the
string of cars and the dobuleheader
crashed into them with violent force.
The engines were tipped over on their
sides and smashed to pieces. 1t is a
miracle that Engineer Paddock and
Firemen Kelley and Felser escaped
death.
Owing to O'Connell's critical condi-
ton no effort was made to obtain
from him story of the collision.
Engineer Gleason and the rest of
the crew brought freight train TO
Madison from Galena Thursday night.
They started from Madison with the
doubleheader about 5 O'Clock yester-
day morning and had breakfast at
Mount Horeb about O'Clock. The ac-
cident happened about 8 O'Clock.

city for many years. His remains
were taken to. Galena A wife and
five children survive.
Accident Delays Traffic.
The tracks at the scene of the ac
cident were blocked with debris and
all traffic was delayed. The passen-
ger train leaving here at o'clock in
the morning ran up to the scene of
the wreck and there transferred it's
passengers to the train which is due
in Madison from Galena about noon.
The train was then brought back to
Madison with O'Connell, Paddock and
Kelley on board, arriving here at 2-3o
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Paddock
and Kelley were able to sit in the
smoking car and O'Connell was cared
for in the baggage car. AS soon as
the train arrived he was carried from
the car to the ambulance on stretch
er and hurried to the hospital. DR.
Tormey met the train and accompa'
MED O'Connell to the hospital. Kel
ley also went to the hospital with his
colleague.
The news of the accident spread
rapidly and a large number of PEG
