Was in Rooseyelt's Country.

Arthur Ellickson of Cambridge, Dane
county, former university student,
spent year or more in South Africa,
not far from where former President
Roosevelt is now on his hunting trip.
This was in 1903 and 1904 when he was
there in the employ of the British gov
eminent to teach the culture of tobac-
co. He apparently has little fear for
the health of the former president so
far as climatic conditions are concerned.
He writes:
Il did not visit the exact route that
ex-President Roosevelt expects to COW
er, if / have been rightly informed, but
crossed the Zambezi river at Jumbo
and covered some of Livingstone s
route, being about 100 miles north of
the river. About the same climatic
conditions exist there as where Roose-
welt is going, though his route and some
of the country he passes through is
worse than where we were. 1t is very
amusing to read articles on Africa re-
lating to conditions which do not exist. :"

Evansville

At a meeting of the young business
men of Evansville, held Wednesday
morning, it was unanimously decided to
organize base ball team for the pur-
pose of swiping the laurels from all
nearby towns, in the matter of base
ball scores, and keep live interest in
this athletic game.
Miss Marie Burnham, one whom many
of our young people know, and a grad
uate from the Evansville high school,
has been elected as member of the
Phi Beta Kappa at the university re-
Gently. This is fraternity composed
of students who have had special rank
in scholarship, and it is a distinction to
become a member of such a society.
Some of the Beloit rooters who at
tended the league contest here Friday
evening were so OveriOyed over the
final issue that they neglected, at the
proper time, to secure sleeping quarters
at the hotels and when they desired to
retire no place was open for them. Not
to be bluffed, the boys concluded they
would hike the distance home and soon
after midnight started on their lonely
jaunt.
The barber shop of Anthony Richard
son was broken into sometime Satur-
day night, from the rear, and thereby
hangs tale. 1t is not known whether
any barber tools or goods were taken,
but the opening disclosed many contra
band goods not usually to be found
among the equipments of barber shops
in general. Tuesday morning Mayor
Richardson made complaint in the po-
lice court that the aforesaid Anthony
Richardson is charged with the selling
of intoxicating liquors contrawise to
the laws of the city and state.

Fort Atkinson.

Mrs Frank Jorhan bought carbolic
acid in drug store at PALMYRA last
Saturday and while the clerk was oc-
cupied with another customer drank
enough of it to cause her death in two
hours.
Articles of incorporation were filed
with the secretary of state at Madison
Saturday for the Fort Glove Manu-
featuring Company capitalized at
So, 400. The four incorporators are
Adolph Element, Olive j Tower, Fran
els Klement and William S Tower. We
are informed that the company has not
as yet been fully organized or definite
plans made as to the quarters which
they will occupy.
Saturday afternoon, our community
was shocked to hear that Eli P May,
one of the pioneer settlers of this town
ship, had died suddenly in his garden
from heart failure, aged nearly "a
years. 1t appears that he was planting
some seeds in a ginseng bed when the
attack came on so suddenly that he fell
across his rake and laid upon his face.
Eli P May was born May 26, 1926, at
Oneida, Oneida county, New York, his
USlIlS OIlCSCO1 way dllO
Damuth May. His maternal grand
mother was captured by the Indians
during the war for independence, and
taken to Canada and subsequently res
|cued. His father was a soldier in the
war of 1872. He cleared a farm in
Oneida, and subsequently had contracts
on the Erie canal and the Croton water
works. In 1889 he removed to Wiscon-
sin, reaching Milwaukee on the 3rd of
July, and the next day broke ground
for the Rock River canal, of which he
he had the contract, but which was
never completed. Prior to coming west,
Eli had received a common school edu-
cation and soan after reaching Wiscon-
sin attended an academy at Beloit for
suort time. In his sixteenth year he
began teaching school, which vocation
he followed during the winter months
for about four years, working the rest
of the time on a farm one and one-half
miles south of Fort Atkinson, which
his father had purchased and settled
upon in 1889. In 1847 Chester May
built mill in Dodge county, seven
miles from any house, on the west
branch of Rock river. Here, one mile
from Mayville which place was named
in honor of him-he discovered iron core,
some of which Eli, at his request, took
to blast furnace in Indiana, tested
and had stove made from it. 1t was
the first stove ever made of Wisconsin
iron.
