{. c. HESSELGRAvE
SPRINGS SURPRISE
Took a Bride Last October
and the Event is Just
Announced.

E. Glen Hesselgrave, that quiet and
versatile editor of the Norwalk Star,
is married. He was formerly news
gatherer in BaraboO and hen a short
notice of uncertainty appeare in this
paper some daVs ago, all his friends
wondered. Editor Coward of the Lodi
Enterprise was fearless and sent a
wireless to Mr.. Hesselgrave and
he has confessed. The couple came
from Norwalk to Baraboo last October
and then went to Freeport, ILL.,, where
they were married on October 18th, 1910.
They stopped off in Lodi at the time,
and as the bride was on her way to
visit friends in the southern part of
the state it was an easy matter for
have a jadge do the rest Glen says;
GAS we had been down there before on
different occasions, no great amount of
suspicion was aroused, and our friends
(at Norwalk) have felt free to indulge
in any speculations they saw fit, not
knowing the rea! facts until very re-
GENTLY"
Their object In keeping the secret to
themselves so long was TO get even
with various friends who had industri
Ously circulated premature marriage
reports, etc.
The brides name was Miss Anna E.
McGary, formerly teacher in the
Norwalk schools; bright and accom-
plished, a general favorite, and "alto-
gether deserving of better fate"
The portion within the quotation
marks is the way Glen expresses it,
so We'll take his word for it.
Mr.. Hesselgrave is brother of Mrs.
Charles b. Pearson and Mrs. j. w.
Harrison of BarabOO.

TOPICS DISCUSSED
At UNION MEETING
Civic Improvement, Clean
Premises and a Hospital
Considered.
(From Tuesdays Dai1y.)

Marked interest and enthusiasm
was evident at the union club meet.
ing held with Mrs. George T. Thuerer
yesterday. Mrs. f. FL. Horstman read
a paper dealing with various phases OF
civic improvement which may profita-
bly be undertaken by our women.
The idea she emphasized particularly
was that of chiIdren's gardens. The
children planting and tending their
own vegetables aud flowers. A COM
mittee was elected consisting of men,
bers from all the clubs to take charge
of this work of chIIdren's gardens in
the city of Baraboo. Steps will be
taken at once to procure seeds at a
price within the reach of every3 child.
Prizes will be offered, announcements
of which will be made later. These
contests will be open TO all boys and
girls of school age in the city.
The questions of clean premises, of
the disposal of refuse, and of the need of
receptacles for waste paper in the busi-
ness parts OF. the city were also discus
sed.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate the possibility of securing a
hospital for Baraboo.

HORSE HOLDING HIS OWN
Increases in Number and
Value in Wisconsin in
Four Years.

That the horse is holding his own in
spite of automobiles is evident from the
reports given out by the department of
horse breeding at the University of
Wisconsin, which show that the total
number of horses in Wisconsin in.
creased 1908 head in the last four
years, and values for the same increas-
ed $26, 1881 1852. In 1906, the average
value was $91 .65; in 1910, $l21. The
total value of horses and mules in
Wisconsin in 1910 was given as $81, :
524 900.

nels, judging conduct by unvarying
standards. In a sense which they
knew not they were right. There was
upon him the divine madness of those
who in their dreams catch the rustic
OF Truths garments, and must seek
her through the devious ways of life
till they can look upon her face.
One of his most loving diciples
told me how, when he was a
boy, he used to see "the crazy doctor"
sitting on log, cIacking couple of
ola bones together in his hands, fitting
one bOne to another, and talking to
himself
That a man should speak aloud
without companion was a heart
shaking, almost disgraceful thing; but
when this queer man, finging down
his bones, caught up the little shaver
and felt him all over, wrenching, not
unkindly, at the still cartilaginous
structure Of his framework, and set
him on his feet with the advice, "Boy,
take care of your bones, and your
health will take care of ITSELF" the
child may be pardoned for scuttling
away home in some terror, and with
the impression that he had made a

LIGHTING COMPANY
BUYS WATER POWER
Proposed to Improve Prop
ertY and Extend Useful
ness of Service.

Frank r. Grover of Chicago, chair
man of the bondholders' committee of
the Baraboo lighting company was in
Baraboo yesterday and purchased the
Macarthur Baraboo river dam and
power which lies between Oak and
Ash streets. The plant has been pur-
chased outright and will be used in
the development of electricity. The
bondholders will purchase the light
ing plant when it is sold at public sale
on May Is and will then take active
steps to improve the property all along
the line.
Canvassers began today to 60
over the territory to secure business for
a day current and to find new custom
ers in the outskirts of the city for both
gas and electricity. It is proposed to
greatly increase the volume of busi-
ness. The water power will be used
for the day service and the steam plant
will be overhauled and improved. The
race of the Oak street dam will be
dredged in order that every particle of
power may be obtained.
Those representing the bondholders
state that the plant will be made
strictly up-to-date and will be gotten
ready as soon as possible for improved
service.
