NEW DICTIONARY
Revised and Complete New Websters
international Now Out.
The G. and c. Merriam company


The G. and c. Merriam company of
Springfield, Mass, have just issued
Webster's New International Diction
airy, based on the international OF
1890 and 1900. The revision has
been so radical and complete as to
constitute a new book The work
has been in active preparation for
many years, by a large staff OF e1-
perts, assisted by the contributions
of eminent specialists, under the
general supervision of DR.. w. T. Har-
ris, recent Z. S. Commissioner of Ed
ucation. The number OF words and
phrases defined has been greatly in
creased, mainly from the fresh coin
age of recent years both in popular
speech and in the various arts and
sciences. The revival of early En-
glish studies is recognized by such
an inclusion of tobsolete words as to
give a key to English literature from
its earliest period. The title-words
in the vocabulary are more than
doubled in comparison with the old
International, now exceeding 100000.
The number of illustrations is in
creased to over 5000. The book con
tains more than 200 pages. But the
publishers desire to emphasize the
quality rather than the quantity of
the work, calling attention especially
to the thorough scholarship in all de-
partments and the fullness of infor-
nation under important titles. BY
ingenious methods of Typography and
arrangement, the increased amount
of matter is contained within a single
volume, not perceptibly larger than
its predecessor, and no less conven-
lent for the hand and eye.

COUNTY TREASURER TO COLLECT
WATER RIGHTS

The bill providing that the Coun-
ty Treasurer shall collect taxes lev
led in improvement districts in
towns of the second, third and
fourth CLASSES, has become IA law,
and the Treasurer, Walker, will
collect the water right tax levied on
all lots in the first and second add
ditions. The ordinance was drawn
to provide for the collection by the
county treasurer. A year ago the
Council had the tax certified to the
treasurer by the city clerk, Fay F.
Dean. and 1t was supposed that it
would be done, but the county at
torney, Callicotte, ruled, and the
State Attorney General held with
him that the town should collect
these taxes. The doubt about the
meaning Of the statute has now
been cleared away by this new law
and the collection can now be made
along with this years taxes.

Will not Move Again

The News is in receipt of letter
from Matthew Wickern in which he
states that the family is now located
at 1904 East 36 street, Los Angeles. 1t
will be remembered that the Wickern
family has moved many times in re-
cent years and among the places visit
ed may be mentioned the following:
They resided near Baraboo and NOV
ed to 314 Seventh street of this city;
then to Los Angeles, Cal, next to
Lodi, Cal; back to Baraboo at 416
Fifth avenue; Frankfort, S. D.; and
then to 1904 East 36 street. In his
letter to the News Mr.. Wickern says
he thinks that he will never move
again. The many friends of the fami-

their new home and that after all the

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
James Goggin of Hankinson Drops
From Train to Ice in River
Below

Conductor James Goggen, 209 South
street, Baraboo, has received word
that his nephew, James Goggin, fell
from an engine and is severely injured.
Mr.. Goggin has visited Baraboo and is
well known here. An account taken
from a Hankinson, North Dakota,
paper describes the accident as follows:
James Goggin, a we'll known 500
brakeman, fell from the train just
west of Oakes last Friday and dropped
to the ice on the river below, a dis
tance of 80 or 35 feet. He was picked
up in an unconscious condition and
taken to the Oakes hospital, where it
was found that the bones of both
wrists were broken. Aside from these
and severe shaking up he was not
seriously injured, but the escape from
instant death is considered almost
miraculous. His many friends will
be pleased to learn that he is doing
nicely and will soon be able to return
home.

march, after which they broke ranks,

BLOW MADE At
PROPOSED DAM
AN EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO RE-
PEAL LAW FOR IMPROVEMENT
AT PRAIRIE DU SAC

A bill has been introduced into the
state legislature to repeal the law
granting a dam to be built in the Wis
consin River at Prairie du Sac. This
same thing is being done to all of the
proposed dams in the state as it is the
intention of the state to obtain certain
incomes from these Improvements if
made This is in harmony with the
conservation idea, it is claimed. In
case the bill becomes law it might
have the effect of blocking the propos-
ed improvement of Prairie du Sac.
This would mean much loss to the viii
lage even if none of the power was
sold there, as has been the result at
Kilbourn. Those interested in the
project will watch the outcome of the
proposition to repeal the law with in
terest. In case the law was repealed
no doubt another would be granted
but with other provisions.
