THEY WILL TAKE THE STUMP
Prominent Men to Aid La Toilette i'm
the Campaign this
Summer

Scores of men high in national and
state politics and friends in the cause
in the smaller communities will take
the stump for Robert M. LaFollete i'm
the latter's fight for reelection to the
United States senate. Never in any
Wisconsin campaign has so distin-
guished an array of speakers been en-
tered in single contest as THAT which
will begin early in July in the bitter
struggle between the Tories and the
Progressives.
The greatest of the insurgents in
both houses of congress will give free.
ly of their time and talents during the
summer and fall in the cause of Sena-
tor La Toilette. All of them realize
that the Wisconsin senator cannot
rely on large campaign funds to win
his seat in congress.
Among the speakers next fall are
United States Senators Moses Clapp,
Minnesota; A. j. Beveridge, Indiana;
j. p. Dolliver, Iowa; A. B. Cummins,
iowa and w. E. Borah, Idaho. Jas.
A. Peterson, prominent Minneapolis
lawyer, former member of the Min
nesota legislature, and graduate of
the University OF Wisconsin in 1884,
will also take the stump for the senior
senator in the fall. From the lower
house of congress will be Repre-
sentatives John NJ. Nelson and III. A.
Cooper, and from the upper house of
the state Legislature there will be Sena-
tors A. w. Sanborn, AshIand Walter
g. Owen, Maiden Rock; Thos. Morris,
l. aCrosse; J. J. Blaine, Boscobel and
John q. Kleczka, Milwaukee.

First Automobile In Town,

w. A. Toole has brought to this
office Fourth of July poster of ten
years ago. The striking feature of the
occasion as advertised was the first
automobile in Baraboo. It will be re-
called that the late Landlord Ross of
the Warren secured an automobile In
Chicago and on the glorious day the
machine was driven about town with
Mr.. Ross and Mayor E. L. Luckow
riding therein. Ten years has wrought
a wonderful change in the automobile
business and many wonder what will
develop during the next decade.
According to the poster the music
ten years ago was furnished by Morey
& Hackett's combined band and Or
chestra and Waunakee crossed bats
with the local team. The parade was
in the morning and there was dance
in the Grand opera house, now in
ashes, at night.

A STATE PARK
At DEVILS LAKE
AN EFFORT BEING MADE BY THE
STATE PARK BOARD TO Sc
CURE PROPERTY.

The owners of cottages at Devils
Lake have received a letter from
Thomas E. Birmingham, chairman OF
the state park board, in which he ex-
plains the serious situation Of the
lake and urges some immediate action.
He points out that the property should
go to the state else it will become the
home of quarrymen. He says there is
no halfway ground for the cottagers to
consider in this matter. The board
will meet in few days and prompt
decision on the part of the owners will
aid greatly in the board reaching some
conclusion.
The board proposes to locate park
there if the owners of thelcottages will
give the state deed, the owner and
wife being allowed to use the same free
from taxes during their lifetime. The
land would be subject to the rules of
the park board. By establishing a park
the property would become more valu-
able for rental while it will have no
real value if the quarrying business
continues to spread.
This proposition is not extended to
those who have not erected cottages.
It is not yet determined what the
owners of the land at the lake will do.

THE WIND BLEW
THEIR HOME AWAY
STORM IN DAKOTA DEMOLISHES
RESIDENCE OF rlR. AND MRS.
GRIFFITH.

Mr.. and Mrs. George A. McGilvIa
have received letter from their
daughter, Mrs. Bessie lMcGilvra
Griffith, Draper, South Dakota, in
which she says that storm came along
and blew their home away. When
Mrs. Griffith saw the storm coming she
rushed into the cellar and this no
doubt saved her life. Her husband
got into the house about the time the
storm struck and was carried some
distance before he got out and the wind
then lifted the house into the all
letting it fall with a crash. The house
was completely demolished.
Their musical instrument, furniture,
all of the good wife's fine linen lay
scattered about. The barn and chicken
house were not damaged. Some of
the cattle were blown against a wire
fence and seriously wounded.

Drink His Downfall.

Sheriff Grant Dryer was called to
the town of Sumpter Wednesday after
noon, the offender being John Wiatrok
who was charged with drunkenness.
He makes his home with his son and
family and it is said created disturbance.
The authorities of the town took the
matter in hand, caused the arrest and
had him posted. The dry zone includes
Baraboo, Prairie du Sac, Sauk City,
Loddies Mill and other places so that
it will be difficult to get the fiery fluid
in the future. In court he promised
never to touch another drop. Justice
andre let him off with fine of $1,000.
The costs amounted to $8.14.

SNAKE SWALLOWS
SMOOTH SUPPER
BUT CHINA NEST EGG PROVES IN
DlGESTIBLE AND HE COMES
TO GRIEF.

ga short time ago when Miss Fan
ME Hurd of Moundville, went out to
get her turkey eggs, she not only found
that there were none, but that the
glass egg was also missing" says The
Endeavor Epitome. Choking around
to see where it could have rolled, she
| discovered large snake, known as q
bull snake, endeavoring to crawl be-
tween two rails. By the size of Mr..
Snake some ten inches from its head it
was plain to be seen where the egg had
disappeared. The snake had swallow
ed it and was trying to break it be-
tween the rails. Calling help, the
snake was removed from the rails.
Finding himself attacked and unable
to migrate with his load, he began to
emit his choice repast. The egg was
replaced In the nest and the snake dis
pensed with, he being unable to eat
any more glass eggs.
"a few days after the egg was re-
moved to another nest. Later one
night when looking for the eggs the
nest was found empty, the glass egg
even being gone a second time. Hidden
in the hay was snake very much
like the first, which also gave evidence
of having glass supper.
"We have known little children to
carry in the nest eggs quite proud over
the eggs they had found. We have
known our grandmothers when eggs
were bought at so much apiece, in
stead of by the dozen) to put them to
boil, but we never knew where they
were eaten before. 'As wise as a ser
pent' does not appear to apply in this
case"

Rival Celebrations.

There were other celebrations con-
Quoted by the Sunday schools, later as
we'll as temperance celebrations. At
one time there were two rival celebra-
tions, one by the temperance people
and the other by those who did not
wish to be publicly identified with the
temperance movement. These prefer
red to have an "old-fashioned" Fourth
of July celebration, SO they organized
their celebration and pulled it off on
the vacant block just westof the pub
lie square. The temperance celebra-
ton had it's grounds in the open space
between the Methodist church and the
public square. Their principal orator
was General Byron Paine of Milwau-
kee and Judge Harlow S. Orton OF
Madison was the orator of the sold
Fashioned celebration.
The rivalry between these two aggre-
cations was most intense. 1t was
so warm that they applied somewhat
disrespectful epithets to each other.
The temperance people were called
"Cochranites" from the Rev. Warren
Cochran, who was leader in the
temperance movement; and the "Old>
Fashioned" people were called the
"Rummies". [ remembe this dis
tinctly as my little brother had fife
and Chauncey Blake came to our house
to borrow it fer his father, whom he
said was going to play for the "Rum-
mics" Efr. Harmon VanNorman

Bailey from North Freedom, or some

were Fourth of July celebrations in
those days. The first celebration that
[ remember-this must have been as
early as 1852-was a Sunday school
celebration by the combined forces of
all the Sunday schools in town. | do
not now rem ember the number of the
churches that joined in this celebration
but at least there were the Baptist,
the Methodist and the Congregational.
We marched through the principal
streets, displaying banners with var1-
GUS devices. L remember that had a
brand new banner made for the occa-
sion but had no motto or device or in
scription to go upon it. But, finally,
having confided my troubles to Elder
Conrad, of the Baptist church, he
came to my rescue, and drew with
pencil on my banner spread eagle
and the inscription in Latin, "Illi spes
patriae."* Then [ was fixed properly
and marched proudly forward with
my class. The column, after parading
through the principal streets, marched
to Peck's grove where speakers stand
had been erected of rough boards from
PratJ's mill; and there we listened to
addresses by Mr.. Morley, a teacher of
the public school and brother of |.
n. and N. w. Morley and others.
Festivities were wound up with pic.
mic dinner in the grove. l do not
think there was any display of fire
works on this occasion. But in those
days we always had big bonfire on
the public square in the evening. But
they did have a novel sort of fireworks
in those days, the throwing of fire
balls. They procured large number

We'd with one another in seeing how
far and how high these blazing balls
could be thrown. And many hanas
were burned, it took an expert to pick
up ball and throw it quick enough,
to avoid being burned and blistered by
the blazing fire balls; and at one time
l remember the courthouse was set on
fire, one of tie burning balls having
lodged on the roof, setting fire to the
shingles. But the destruction of the
new courthouse, it was new then, was
happily averted. Some one, think it
was Frank Graham, having procured
a ladder, carried up bucket of water
and extinguished the flames. Later
celebrations were concluded with fine
displays of fireworks in the evening
consisting of skyrockets, Roman can
dies, pin-wheels, etc. Mr.. M. g.
Waite was always superintendent of
fireworks that were provided for the
public celebrations in these early
years.

The devotionals were conducted by
the Rev. Jordan, of North Freedom.
Mrs. Law of Milwaukee, made very
vivid word picture of the terrible evils
of the white slave traffic in the United
States.
The county superintendent of schools
G. w. Davies of North Freedom, made
a convincing argument for instructing
the young along the lines of temperance
in order to have them on the
side of right living when they shall
arrive at maturity.
Five little girls rendered beautiful

There were other readings as we'll as
solos, duets and quartets.
The evening was a grand close to the
two days of highly interesting and
