BUY CANADIAN LAND.
Ringing Bros. of Circus Fame Buy
10000 Acres in Saskatchewan.

Ringing Bros, the Baraboo circus
kings, have purchased 10000 acres of
land in Saskatchewan, Canada. The
purpose of their purchase has not been
made public, but it is said that it is
their desire to found city which will
be monument to their name and per-
petuate them long after their circuses
have been forgotten.
The fact is the Ringlings are piling
up money so fast that the question of
investing the yearly surplus is no small
matter for consideration. The five
brothers have over $780, 900 invested
in the circus business, and their three
shows this year have paid dividends
amounting to over one and One-half
millions of dollars. In addition to their
circus property and extensive winter
quarters at Baraboo, they all own
palatial homes, Al Ringling's being the
finest residence property in the state.
1t is said that outside of the Wall street
clique, the Ringlings are the biggest
holders of gilt edged bonds in this
country. John Ringing is interested
in the projection of mammoth health
resort at White Sulphur Springs, Mont,
to which the syndicate of which he is
the head is building railroad to con-
meet with one of the established trans
continental lines. Alfred T. Ringing
spends most of his time motoring in
Europe. Otto Ringing is regarded as
the financial wizard of the circus bust
ness, and Charles Ringling's fad is
music. Some years ago the latter's
purchase Of Stradaverius violin at an
enormous price attracted worldwide
attention.
The Ringlings' rise has justly been
characterized as meteoric and stands as
an incentive for endeavor on the part
of the most humble workers in any To-
cality, no matter how far it may seem
from the beaten track on which the
chariot of success appears to surge.
Thirty years ago they were harness
makers in Baraboo and their business
then was scarcely of the kind to be Sc
riously considered by either Bradstreet
or Dun. Through the medium of the
circus business they have developed
into financial powers that are reckoned
with everywhere.

Edmund Chapman, who was in his
eighty-seventh year, died Thursday,
Dec l, 1910, at the old Chapman home
stead three miles west of Fort Atkin-
son, he having been confined to his bed
but one day before his death, although
he had been failing for number of
months.
That the building of permanent good
roads has taken pretty fair hold of the
minds of the people of this county is
clearly seen in reading the minutes of
the board of supervisors. The towns of
Sullivan, Sumner, Koshkonong, Water
town, Milford, Ixonia, Lake Mills and
Oakland all appropriated last spring
$1,000, except Koshkonong $4,000, Mil
purpose. The county board duplicated
$1,000 that will be expended in this
county the present year for permanent
roads. AS will be seen, one-half of the
towns in the county have taken this adj
vanced step.
Karl Kosanke, the fourteen year old
son of Mr. and Mrs Albert Kosanke of
the town of Aztalan, accidentally shot
himself in the abdomen while cleaning
his rifle last Sunday, and died half an
hour later of an internal hemorrhage.
According to the statement of Miss
Raduentz, the boys aunt, who was the
only one in the same room with him,
Karl was trying to remove shell from
his rifle, which was an unusually short
one, probably by means of knife,
holding the gun over the sink with the
stock against the wall and the muzzle
pointing toward his body. Whether the
boy knew the rifle was loaded or not
it is impossible to say. Suddenly the
weapon was discharged and the bullet
entered the abdomen near the umbil-
icus, passing upward and causing
hemorrhage.

J C Johnson's summer cottage at
Camp Dewey, Lake Kegonsa, was de-
stroyed by fire the past week, the cause
of the blaze is unknown as yet, although
it is expected that it was of incendiary
origin. Mr. Johnson says he carried
$500 insurance on the building and $50

Martin Nelson, son of Mr. and Mrs
G A Nelson, residing west of town,

An order has been given by the
Stoughton Ski club for the largest
structural steel ski platform in the
world. The platform will be built by
the j III Wetherell company of Chicago
and delivery is expected at any time.
1t will be erected at once on hill in
the northern part of the city, owned by
Henry Erickson. The platform will be
the sixth largest steel ski slide in
America, but will excel all others in
every detail. It will cost about 1000
to have it placed in position on the hill.
Concrete piers already have been built
by Oscar Nelson.
Lyle Conner, son of Mr. and Mrs Ar
thur Connor on Pleasant Hill, who has
travelled with Sparks circus since April
End, has arrived from Salisbury, North
Carolina, where the circus closed for
the winter. Lyle's part has been that
of clown, of which there were three
with the show. During the thirty-fve
weeks that he accompanied the circus,
Lyle has travelled 12,2 58 miles and has
been in eighteen states, from the west
ern boundary of Montana to the Allan
tic coast, and to within few miles of
the Gulf of Mexico. He says that he
has enjoyed his experience, and after
spending the next three months at his
parental home he leaves the first of
March for Denver where he joins Sells
Flotto's circus, with which he will be
next season.

TRUST FUND FOR MASSES.
State Court Holds Provision of Will
to Be Valid.

MADISON. Wis. May 25.-Creation of
q trust fund for the offering of Roman
Catholic masses for the repose of the
souls of the testator and his relatives

Kavanaugh, who resided at Maple Grove.
.Manitowoc county. provided by will that
81 coo of the estate should be turned over
to three trustees charged with having
masses said for him and his relatives

the ground that the provision for masses
was indefinite and uncertain and in vio-
latjon of the law preventing a creation
of a trust of the kind mentioned. The
lower court sustained the contention of
the heirs, but the supreme court reversed
that judgment.
