FIRE At IRONTON
There Must Be an Incen
diary in the Quiet
Village.
From Thursday's Daily

Tuesday evening about midnight
fire was discovered in Il. Hainstock s
barn. E. Hankerson and II. Ray
had been to LaValle, Mr.. Hankerson
as he came out of Kilbourn's barn
where he kept his horse, after putting
it up and caring for it, saw a light in
the window of Hainstock's barn. He
went into the house and called Mr..
Kilbourn then rushed over to the barn
and found an old sack and some hay
in the manger afire.
The hay and sack was brought for
the purpose of firing the barn as there
was no hay in the barn, there were
also fresh tracks in the snow leading
to and from the barn. Whoever has
the mania for starting fires better be-
ware.
Mr.. Hankerson grabbed the hay and
sack and took it out doors and soon
stamped out the fire. 1t evidently
had Just been started as 1t had not
caught in the barn yet.
A few days ago there was serious
fire in the village from an unkn own

CHANGES CONTEMPLATED
Governor Davidson May
Succeed Attorney F. r.
Bentley.
iFrom Thurxuays DaUY.l

Gov. Davidson of Madison has sold
his recently purchased home in
Stoughton and completed negotiations
for the Harrington home in one of the
best residence sections of Madison.
This forecasts an important change in
the governors plans for the future
after he has finished his term. 1t is
now said the family will remain in
Madison until his daughter, Miss
Grace, finished her university edu-
cation.
1t is also believed that the governor
will accept federal position, prob
ably that of internal revenue collector,
for this district at the close of his
term as governor.
The term of the present collector
Attorney F. K. Bentley, expires in
February and as the office is within
the gift of Senator Stephenson, there
is every reason to believe that the
governor can have the position If he
wants it. Mr.. Bentley is in Wash
ington.

LECTURE AT HIGH SCHOOL
Ravages of tuberculosis
illustrated by Lantern
Slides.

In the auditorium at the high schoO
Wednesday evening, Harvey d. Brown
IF Milwaukee gave a lecture on tuber-
culosis, the ravages of which were
graphically portrayed by means of
lantern slides. Over eighty pictures
were thrown on the screen many of
which were illustrative of the real con-
ditions in cities in Wisconsin, condi-
tions that at all times tended to ag-
gravate the white plague, especially in
Milwaukee. Mr.. Brown showed the
the Milwaukee tenement district which
precluded person getting sunlight
and air, the things most necessary to
combat tuberculosis.
One picture was thrown on the
screen which showed a tuberculous
cow and another which portrayed a
child. The question was put: Shall we
kill the cow or let the cow live
and allow the cow to kill the child?
A picture of a fy's foot, mag
nified, was shown and the numberIess
ways in which this pest can carry
disease was told. The common house
fly is great menace to the health of a
community. Attention was called to
the fact that often washings done in
homes where there is disease are the
means of conveying sickness.
Mr.. Brown stated that if Tuberculosis
was stamped out in the state it would
mean an annual saving of SIT 500. 900.
He dwelt on the conditions that would
effect cure: fresh air and sunlight;
sleep with your windows open.
Pictures were shown of the sanatorIum
at Wales and the Modern Woodmen
Sanitarium in Colorado where the
treatment for. the dread disease is the
same and which treatment must be
used every where to successfully COM
bat tuberculosis. The three essentials
are absolute rest, stuffing the patient
with food, and above all fresh air,
fresh air.
Mr.. Brown spoke to good attend
auce last evening. This is his second
appearance here. Tonight he speaks at
Black River Falls. During the after
noon Mr.. Brown spoke in the city
schools and secured several members
among the children to join the band oi
crusaders OF the double red cross.

WORK BEGINS
On THE BIC
POWER DAM
The Sound of the Failing
Water to Be Heard at
Prairie du Sac.

The Prairie du Sac dam seems to be
sure thing. Two car loads of materl'
al from Kilbcurn arrived on Friday
Another car load arrived on Monday,
and the entire outfit and material has
been hauled across the river by team
to the company's holdings adjoining
the Ed Kehl farm in West Point. The
machinery will be put in place at once
and the driving of piles for the con-
struction of a concrete abutment and
a lew of several hundred feet along
the shore north of the abutment. This
work is under the supervision of X. o..
Walter, the Power Co.'s engineer
The Bates & Rogers Construction
Co. of Chicago still have man on the
ground on this side of the river who is
prospecting for material, and several
other construction companies will in
the course of several days have repre-
sentatives here to do work of similar
nature
Surveying is going on on this side of
the river, and indications now point
toward the reality of a huge power dam
in the near future.
At meeting of the Twin City Twi-
light club Tuesday evening, Robert
Jackson, who is selling the securities
of the Wisconsin River Power Co.,
gave the following dimensions of the
proposed dam. The dam will be 1900
feet long, with 1000 feet of spiIIways
the balance to he used for locks, etc.
It will have head of 25 feet and gen.
crate 26 800 horse power. The power
will be transmitted to Milwaukee,
Madison and the mines at North Free
dom. Undoubtedly a part of the
power generated will be used here, the
twin cities having been promised all
that can be disposed Of to local enter
prises already established and such
other as may be established in the
near future.
It is estimated that the huge struc-
ture can be completed within year
and half after the work once begins
on the dam proper.-Prairie du Sac
