But F~reernasons. who are taught to
Believe that the body shall be raised

soul, should regard it simply as a
"home-going.' This idea is so wildly
expressed in the touching lines of the
beautiful little poem "Heimgang,"
which appear in the address Of Grand
Master Townsend Scudder, of New
York, hat I will here repeat it.
".Heimgang.' So the German people
Whisper when they hear the bell

Swelling out from chapel dome
And the singers chanting surges,

WHEAT CULTIVATION.
Mr.. J. D. johnson Makes a Val
uable Contribution to the Dis
cussion.
To the Editor Of The Robesinnian:

To the Editor Of The Rotesinnian:
wish to say in regard to what
Mr.. Harrington and Mr.. McRae
have to say in regard to wheat
growing, that | differ a little
with them in preparing their land
for wheat.
My experience is that where
land has been well cultivated
this year in corn. and peas sown
IN middle last plowing, that it
does not need breaking. Take
a disc harrow and run on top of
ridge, if any, which will cut
stalks and level down ridge.
Then sow your wheat and set
harrow so it will not go too deep
and turn just enough to cover
the wheat. OF course, it will not
cover all of it, but will cover
very near all if harrow is set
right. and at the same time it
will chop up the stalks and cut
up the pea-vines; then you can
set your harrow nearly straight
and run each way until you get
it chopped up and level, then if
you wish you can run a roller ov-
er same and you will have as
good wheat bed as you need.
Now, in regard to fertiliziny
wheat will say if land has a good
crop of pea-vines on it do not
think it will need a complete fer
tllizer, as the pea-vines will fur
nish all the nitrogen the wheat
needs. Use about 2 sacks of
acid per acre and about 50lbs
potash or KANT enough to make
this amount Of potash. | find
wheat sown after peas to do bet
ter than after any other crop.
Would SOW acid and potash after
throwing down ridge as you do
your wheat.

BATTLE OF SHARPSBURG.
Snyder Writes of His Exper-
fences.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
| was cutting up today in the
garden some late corn that had
been blown down and tangled by
the wind, and it reminded me so
much of a tangled field of corn
that we charged through at
Sharpsburg just AZ years ago to-
day that | can't help from telling
your readers about my experience
in that battle. Now it strikes
me that possibly | may have
written for The Robesonian some
thing about this battle in some
former communication, but if |
have, what's the odds?
We had invested Harper's Fer
ry and after it's surrender had
started on our march, when some
fool started the rumor that we
were on our way to North Caro-
lima. This shows how little the
common soldier knew about the
movements of the army, and the
worst of it all was that we be-
lieved the fool; but our hopes
were rudely broken when in pass
ing Gen'l. Ransom he said "Hur-
ry up boys, Gen'l. Lee is want
ing you badly"
We then realized that we were
in for it. Fording the Shepan-
doah, and after a long days
march, we crossed the Potomac
and went into camp on its banks.
Going down to a spring for wat
er, | here met a crank who, he
said, belonged to the 34th Virgin
ia, and who tried to fool me by
alleging that our regiment would
not be in the ensuing battle, be-
cause all history would show that
a oath and a 34th regiment were
never known to be in a battle at
the same time. | would have
liked much to believe him, but
indications didn't point that way.
| have often wondered whether
or not the poor fellow was killed
the next day.
We left camp at 2 o'clock next
morningandmoved to ourextreme
right, resting on the river; and
although history says the fight
began that morning at 4 o'clock,
yet we heard nothing of the bat
tie till near 10 o'clock, the hills,
| suppose, cutting off the sound
of the guns.
At 10 O'Clock we were double
quicked to our extreme left and
placed in position. After while
we had order to charge and this
was through a corn field, with
the corn all blown the other way,
and was one Of the worst eXper-
fences | had during the war, as
we were being shelled all the
time. We got through after a
time with the loss of some of our
men, and were sheltered for a
while behind a stone wall with
the shells shrieking just ever our
heads. Then an order to charge
around a hill and to take this bat
terry in the rear. This maneuver
was successfully accomplished
and We came upon the support
through a ravine and took them
unawares. AS their infantry were
running noticed one fellow on
the right of the fleeing enemy
who didn't seem to be in much
of a hurry to get away. SO | put
my gun through a crack of the
fence and drew a bead or
him. | didn't kill him, but from
the way he dropped his gun anC
moved his legs lam satisfied that
| placed him in the hospital.
| might go on and tell more
about this interesting battle, bu'
perhaps you don't believe what
have written. Snyder.

Dillon High School Opens Well
Cotton and Tobacco Market
and Prospects A UsefulPam-
phlet - How to Get Good
Grub"
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

Grub"
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Yesterday marked the opening
of the high school at Dillon with
an unusually large enrolment
and complete faculty in fact,
every feature attended by favor
able indications for a large meas
ure of success during the session
that it is now entering upon.
The patrons and friends of the
school rejoice in the fact that
recently the State board has eX-
tended additional aid.
The cotton market has been at
high water mark ever since its
opening, with numerous buyers,
several large cotton firms being
represented by competent gentle
men who exhaust from day to
day every effort to give the farm
er every cent for the fleecy sta
pie that the market will afford.
The crop is generally short, and
in sections the shortage is dis
tressing. We expect abnormal fig.
ures ere the season closes. Bond
ed warehouses, | see, in different
parts of the State are springing
up and offering to loan money on
cotton stored at 6 per cent. 1t
might be a good thing to invest
in this direction, as we hope to
see Is or 20 cents paid at no dis
tant day. The way matters stand
now looks like-very much like
the Eastern bear will have to
yield of his ill-gotten gains and
divide with the producer, for a
time, at least.
The tobacco crop, being per-
haps the lowest grade in history,
has brought little compensation.
We predict a decrease in acreage
another season; if wisdom pre-
walls we are certain such will be
the case. The writer would re-
ioice to see a reduction Of at
least so per cent. in all tobacco
growing sections.
We have recently received
from the Department of Agricul-
ture, Farmers Bulletin 369, entitl-
ed How to destroy rats" by
David E. Lantz, assistant, Bureau
of Biological Survey, Washington,
DC. These are free to farmers
and can be had for the asking.
Send to your member ofCongress
the request and make an effort
to free your premises of at least
one 81 the pests that infests the
land.
We notice in The Christian Ad-
vocate, random notes by some
Methodist preacher, where he
reports "gooG grub" scarce in
certain sections, even soup and
buttermilk hard to get. We
would like to advise. if the good
brother will allow interruption,
a remedy the writer mas lou1o
to be a specific in such cases:just
plant a potato-patch back OF the
grape-vine, and if the seasons are
the least favorable we are GER
tain the experiment will be at
tended with satisfactory results
AS we grabbed at least 25cts
worth from three hills in sale
patch, even if our grocer wa:
disposed to refuse our credit, W.
then be independently fact, will
plenty of such we don't know a
we envy the bloated bond-holder''
condition.

EXPLODES ENGINE
M. w. PALMER OF PORTAGE
BLOWN FOURTEEN FEET AND
Is NOT INJURED
WENT OVER A WOODPILE
The Women in the Vicinity Rush
to the Rescue and Give
Great Aid
portage Register

Blown distance of fourteen feet
over wood pile and escaping with
slight injuries Is the experience of Wal
Ker Palmer, who met with an unforun-
ate happening when the gasoline tank
on his wood saving machine exploded.
He was about to start on job of saw
ing several cords of wood for Mrs.
Elizabeth Shanks in the alley rear of
her East Emmett street residence.
The water pipe on the engine had
frozen and he was using a lighted
torch to thaw it when he came in too
close proximity to the gasoline tank
and with one crash the tank exploded,
the velocity of the shock taking Mr..
Palmer completely off his feet and
hurting him through the air into the
yard of the residence occupied by Mrs.
o. V. Cutting. His body appeared to
be a mass of flames and Mrs. Cutting,
seeing the conditions, Immediately
telephoned to the fire department and
several men went to the scene without
turning in general alarm as the dam
ger from fire was not great at the
time. Mrs. Cutting had Mr.. Palmer
taken into her house and summoned
DR.. Bentley, who responded very
promptly. Mr.. Palmer was burned
about the eyes, the hair on the back
of his head was singed considerably
and one of his hands was also pain
fully scorched. ..
The mittens and hat worn by Mr..
Palmer were found a considerable
distance from the scene and were
almost torn to shreds. That he escaped
with his life is miraculous.
Generally upon occasions of this
kind the feminine sex become very
excited, but the women in this instance
proved heroines, Mrs, Shanks, Mrs.
Cutting and Mrs. e. E. Price, each de-
serving share, having lent valuable
aid. Mrs. Price, when attracted by
the noise of the explosion, which
COViu OO A0aIu IOA many blOChS1
grabbed rug and with this subdued
the fire which was burning the cloth
ing of Mr.. Palmer. A son of the
injured man, who was assisting him
in the work, very fortunately happen
ed to be away from the machine when
the explosion took place, and the
horse which is used to transport the
apparatus about was detached from
the rig.

The First Permanent
Resident in BarabOO
Paper Read Before the Sauk County Historical
Society, r1onday evening, November
20, 1900 by I'll. E Cole.
20, 1909, by IL. E Cole.

Abe Wood was a Kentuckian, his
wife was Winnebago squaw. He
was an adventurer, she was a. child
of the wilderness. It was, Abraham
Wood who first established a home
at Baraboo, then ON the outer rim
of civilization. Abe Woods wants
were few and simple; in manners
and customs he was but slightly in
advance of the Indians amongst
whom he associated during much of
! his life. 1t was only the mere accl-
dent of his being the first to bring
family to Baraboo to establish
home that has led to perpetuation
of his name in the chapters of local
history.
Just when Wood came to THE terri
tory of Wisconsin is not recorded,
nor is it known from whence he jour-
neyed. He was probably born in
Kentucky. He came to Illinois possi-
bly, because a brother resided there:
About 1886 or 1897 he is first men
toned in the local history of Madi-
son and Portage. Black Hawk had
been driven from Illinois, past the
Madison lakes and across Sauk coun-
ty to his defeat and doom on the
banks of the Mississippi only a short
time before. Like thousands Of 9th
ers Wood probably followed the fad
ing of the war cloud for the Indians

were subdued and there was an op-
portunity for speculation and adven-
ture. Woods friend, Wallace Ro-
wan, was in this region before the
Indian war and possibly Wood was
in the territory also, but if so he
left no record behind.
Kills an Indian.
John T. De La Ronde and others
record that Abe Wood kept a grog
shop at Portage and that White
Pawtnee came to the place to get
some liquor by force, with his knife
in. his hand. Wood was a very
strong man and pushed the Indian
and struck him with a club. White
Pawnee's skull was broken and he
fell dead. White Pawnee was some
times called Vane Blanc. Pawnee was
an Indian tribe on the Missouri and
Platte rivers; however, as this was
the tribe from which captives were
frequently made, the term "Pawnee",
called "Pania" by the French, came
to mean any Indian slave or serv-
ant. Probably Pania Blanc was the
son of some such captive mother,
whom White Crow, his father, had
married according to the Indian GUS
tom. The use of the term, "White
Pawnee'', may indicate that the moth
