The Right Idea.

No wonder scores of BarabOo citi-
zens and business men grow enthusi-
astic. 1t is enough to make every one
or all business men happy to hear OF
such relief after years of suffering.
A lady was heard saying Monday
that great majority of shoppers had
decided to order all their groceries and
meats in the forenoon so as to give the
business men and delivering boys a
chance to do their work in time and
as it. should be. No tongue can tell
how poor delivery horses have to
suffer in order to make all late orders
in time for supper or dinner. Happy
thoughts, let the good work go on.

PRIEST FALLS
FROM A TRAIN
He Lays Unconscious For
Some Time Beside..the
Tracks.
(Spring Green News

Rev. FIR. Lachnit of CaZenoVia was
found badly injured along the railroad
track about two miles west of town
last Sunday, by Section Foreman
Doyle, and brought to Spring Green,
where he was cared for at the home of
Rev. FIR. Brudermanns. Rev. Lachnit
boarded the Sunday afternoon passen-
ger train at Lone Rock, catching the
rear coach as the train was leaving the
station. It was a vestibule car and
the door was locked so the priest
could not enter. He clu1g to the car
until it was several miles out of Lone
Rock when he became exhausted and
fell. When Mr.. Doyle. found him
Rev. Lachnit was walking toward
Spring Green and was in an extreme
Nv weak condition. This was at 1915
p. m. and he sail he had been walk
ing about half an hour, having lain
unconscious nearly three hours. Rev.
Lachnit is not strong physically and
was further handicapped with valise
and overcoat. Two ribs were fractured
and after resting here day he went
to a Lacrosse hospital for examination,

CAzENOVIA ON MAP
Celebration Held on Ac-
count of Completing
Railroad.

The Baraboo delegation has returned
from Cazenovia, where big celebra-
tiOn was held on account of the COM
pletion of the railroad to that village.
From CazenOvia one can now go by
rail to Key West, San Francisco, New
York, Kalamazoo, or Baraboo. What
more do the people want? The line
is named the CazenOvia & Sauk City
railroad, but when Sauk City will see
the steam cars coming is as difficult to
say as when the first airship will fly
into Baraboo.
The Cazenovia and Sauk City Rail-
road 90. consists of Messrs. John
Hanzlik, Joseph Duren and Joe Leim-
kuehler, all of Cazenovia, who pur-
chased the right-of-way and material
at a receivers sale. They have carried
on the work to its present stage. Up
to the time these men got hold of the
property, the proposition languished
and was involved in litigation until
the finances were exhausted. The
town of Ironton, the village of La
Vale and the town of Westford, have
voted bonds of $1,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively. Lime Ridge has
raised $4,000 to be used to extend the
road to that place.

Political Views.

A Baraboo subscriber requests tie
publication of the following items
from the Menomonee Falls, News:
How the 20 per cent law will afft ct
the Democratic ticket is largely mat
ter of conjecture. 1t ought to prove a
salutary lesson to men in that party
that cannot firt around in other
camps helping out some fellow with
an itching for getting at the public
crib. The quicker those fellows real
ize that to vote for national ticket
places them in the party's ranks, they
are none other and no independent
voting in the primary elections will
make them other than such.

yet Japan covers about the same terri
tory as the two states mentioned.
The japanese are imitators and are
reaching cut for territory, commerce
and power. In Japan men are paid SOC
day and the women zoe. In America
the men are paid for the same labor 81
to $4 day and the women $1.O0 to
$1.5O. We cannot compete. Our policy
should be, America for Americans.
The Washington Fight.
The speaker was very enthusiastic
over the fight won at Washington
last winter. He told how the speaker
had in his hand the ruling of the house,
which is we'll known. AS to his own
conduct Congressman Kopp declared:
"No one has right to tell me how l
shall vote except you, the voters of my
district" Great applause.
There are more battles TO come. There
will be fight on the finances, on the
amendment to the inter state act in
regard to watering stock and the revi.
sion of the pension laws.
He paid a glowing tribute to the
soldiers and said that in ten years there
would not be many left. All possible
should be done for them now. Fol
some the pension should be increased
Applause at rIention of La Toilette
At The mention of Senator La Fol
lette there was great applause. He
spoke of him in glowing terms as well
as other Republican leaders of nation
al reputation. He also urged the elec
ton of John NJ. True for the state
senate and Carl Isenberg aud Harry
Thornton for the assembly.
The speaker was introduced by Mr.
True.

lief that those have been organized too
loosely for the most efficient service.
MFR. Ingram declares that the MEM
bership in committees should be based
upon special fitness. His candidacy
is so widely endorsed as to justify the
statement that it soon will be nearly
unanimous. In his assembly district
his election is regarded as certainty.

Terrible Experience of a
Mail Steamer on the Gulf

Mrs. Sarah E. Page has received a
letter from her daughter, Mrs. Curt
Hildebrandt, Belize, British Hondur-
as, which says that the mail steamer
which had just arrivedsin port had en-
countered two hurricanes which made
it late in arriving. The captain was
lashed to the bridge for two days and
the only food he had was some bread
that was thrown to him. The passen-

There came change of the wind at a
critical moment and the boat was

CONGRESSMAN kOPP
DELIVERS ADDRESS
Courtroom is Full to Hear
of the Great Fight at
Washington,


Congressman A. w. Kopp of Platte
Vile spoke at the courthouse Thursday
night and brought with him message
which he was not slow in delivering.
He was able to give at first land some
of the inner working of congress and
told how in the past the people had
not been fairly represented on account
of the czar like ruling of Speaker Can
non. MI. Kopp had been in the
fight and came full of the story which
he delivered to his hearers direct from
the shoulder. He received the closest
attention and frequent applause.
In the opening he said that for fifty
years the Republican party had been
at the fore and that the voters compose
the jury which must decide whether
or not the organization shall remain in
power. The voters also compose the
jury which must decide whether or
not his acts in congress have been as
they wished.

Now that spring is near at hand,
few suggestions in regard to the
clearing and leveling of land and
the planting Of crops might be of
help to many of our new farmers in
order that they may not make costly
mistakes, but be able to profit by the
experience and observation of others.
Il is never deemed advisable to
plow under sage brush. but it should
be removed before the land is plowed.
either by hand. machine grubbing or
railing with railroad iron This in
sures a good clean field after plowing
and is cheaper and more economical
in the end than blowing under the
sage brush as it cannot be gotten

how carefully the field may be gone
over with a harrow. some are bound
TO remain. and these viii seriously
interfere with cultivation for years

ways better and cheaper in the end
II the brush is carefully removed
before blowing.
Leveling is a feature which always
puzzles the beginner on an irrigated
farm. and but few make the mistake
of leveling too thoroughly at the
outset, especially if permanent
crop. such as alfalfa. is to be planted.
The cost Of good levelling and proper
preparation Of the land is saved by
the decreased cost Of irrigation

crop that is left for a series of years
IS planted.
