Miss Fearless and Co.

The Vailima literary society of
Central college gave Tuesday
evening as its annual entertain
ment a play entitled Miss
Fearless and Co." And large
and enthusiastic audience was
present to witness the product
ion.
The play is a light comedy re-
Quiring only women in the cast
and hence well adapted to the
resources of the Vailimas. 1t
concerns the adventures Of some
young women who, to spite their
fiances, take up their abode on
an island supposed to be haunted.
The ensuing situations are anus
ing and afford some effective eli
makes.
Miss Mildred MusSer took the
leading part and was most charm
ing in every particular, The rol
was a most demanding one; but
Miss Musser met admirably every
one of it's requirements.
Miss Maurine Bayliss was ex-
cellent as the sentimental old
maid. She was the principal in
several amusing situations and
she made the most of her oppOr-
tunities.
The hit of the evening was
scored by Miss Kate Kimbrell,
who had the principal comedy
part. She displayed an utter
lack of self consciousness and
put her whole soul into her lines.
She had the audience with her
every moment she was on the
stage.
Other parts were adequately
handled by Misses Josephine
. Smith, Rose Lutz, Anna Nc Zent-
meyer, Faye NJ. Brill, Ruby
Smith, Belle Lutz and Kate Glib
son.
The play was given under the
direction Of Miss Bergman, head
of the department of express
sion. Between acts Miss Sarah
Stapp and Miss GOldie Coard
entertained the audience with
piano duets.
! After the performance there
p was delightful informal recep-
ion in the college halls and par
lors.

GRAND JURY REPORT
Deliberations and Recommends
tions of Unusual Interest.

Judge Of the Criminal Court Of
Lafayette County, Missouri.
We, the Grand Jury for the
February 1911 Term of the Grim
inal court of Lafayette County,
Missouri, beg leave to report as
follows:
We have made careful inquiry
into all the cases brought before
us, and which we have personal
knowledge, and have disposed of
them according to the Courts
instruction.
We have visited the County
Farm and found the inmates
and property well cared for. We
would recommend that a lighting
plant for the halls, dining room
and public quarters of the home
be installed, and that floors be
placed in two basement rooms
o. the home to fit them for laun-
dry purposes.
We have inspected the Court
House building and the
County Office building, and find
them in an average state of re-
pair and keeping.
We have examined, superfic-
tally, the books and records of
the several offices and find
them neatly and orderly kept
we have visited the Jail and in
spected the quarters of the pris-
oners and of the Sheriff's fam
lily. Upon these general matters
we would respectfully offer the
following suggestions and rec,
concentrations;
First; That the original entry
book, original survey book, anC
all the plat books in the RecOr
der's office be accurately copieC
and certified, the duplicate ex
posed for public use, and The
originals kept for reference only
These books involve the titles tC
all the real estate in the county
and they are rapidly being worn
out. We consider this recon-
mendation important.
Second: We recommend thai
the books of the County Officers
be examined by expert bonded
accountants every four years. 1
is from no suspicion of the eX
cellent gentlemen who serve thc
County in an official capacity
that we make this recommenda
tion. But there is no bank, rail
road, or considerable business
house anywhere which does no
avail itself of this safeguard o
its stockholders interests, and /
seems to us important to guarC
the public interests of the Count,
with all the precaution taken il
well regulated business.
Third: We recommend tha
bath and toilet fixtures be place,
in the living rooms of the Count.
jail, and that the interior be re
| decorated.
Fourth: We recommend tina
a door be cut between the from
office of the Prosecuting Attol
ney and the ante room to tn
I, Grand Jury room.
Fifth: We recommend tina
the roof of the Court House bull
ing receive needed attention.
! Sixth; We recommend tha
the plumbing both at the Com
House and the County Farm r,
ceive the careful attention of til
proper custOdians.
This Grand Jury has had col

LONG A MERCHANT
WILL RETIRE soon
Charles Wild to Close Out
Immense Stock of Furn-
iture at Once.
Established in 1855.
L. Wild & Son 5 years.
Charles Wild rs years.
Same location 80 years.
(From Fridays TlaizT.D
From the Portage Democrat.

The above in brief is the history of
one Of the oldest firms il2s Baraboo
which will soon go out of business.
For some time Charles Wild has been
considering the question OF retlr1Dg
and has now decided to reduce his
large stock, sell the business and give
nm an active commercial life. He says
that 1T is the hardest thing he ever
did but feels that it will be the best
thing to do. The large stock is worth
about $4,000 and this will be reduced
by making big auction sale. The line
of furniture ard house furnishings is
one of the best in the state. Mr. Wild
has kept his stock moving and has
only the bzst goods. The auction will
enable customers 10 supply themselves
with good goods at big saving The
stock will positively be sold. AS soon
as it is reduced, the remainder, with
the good will of the business, will be
sold to some purchaser who will carry
on the business.
This is one of the Oldest business
firms in Baraboo. His father, Louis
Wild, established store in the village
in 1855. When the son reached his
majority he became partner and after
his fathers death successfully carried
on the business. He was with his
father for five years and has been alone
for 26 years. For 3S years the store has
been in its present location and is a
landmark to the town. To remove the
name of Wild from Third street will be
taking away the oldest firm on that
thoroughfare.
Mr.. Wild is one of the substantial
men in the city He has served as
mayor and In other positions of trust.
In lodge work and in every movement
for advancement he has been leader
for quarter of century.

LIQUID AIR AND
RAD|UM WONDERS
Prof. Patty Delivers Inter
esting Lecture in High
School.

Thursday evening in the high school
Prof. Patty gave an interesting and
instructive illustrative lecture on the
wonders of wireless telegraphy, radium
and liquid air.
The speaker was introduced by Rev.
T.. A. Goddard. Mr.. Patty first took
up wireless telegraphy and explained
the different parts which made up the
transmitting and receiving stations.
He told of the great necessity of the
wireless on ships at sea, airshlps,
lighthouses and many other instances
Experiments were performed such as
ringing small bell, sending a mes
sage, turning on power, and lighting
small electric lights by the use of
wireless telegraph which are all mar
velous and are being put to use more
and more every day. In the case OF
lighthouses bells are rung and electric
lights turned on and off in the flash of
second between distances OF hun
dreds of miles by means of the wireless
telegraph.
The transmission of power is also
wonderful. In this case man could
sit in his office in New York and by
the means of pressing button start
the wheels of some great factory In
Chicago. Mr.. Patty also told of the
wireless telephone which is being put
to practical use in many places.
Radium was taken up next and the
marve's of this great powder told Of.
The lights were turned off in the high
school and everyone present was CIV
en- the opportunity ofviewing small
particle under the microscope. Mr..
Patty held up three small tubes of
the precious powder and they could
be seen glowing from any point in the
auditorium.
The last experiment was with liquid
air. A carnation was dipped in the
LIQUID and when taken out was as
brittle as an eggshell, the petals being
| frozen to a crisp. If the carnatlon is
allowed TO stand a few moments 1t
will return to its natural stage again.
Gran berries were frozen as hard as
stone, alcohol and mercury turned to
ice, steel burned and a teakettle OF
LIQUID air boiled on large cake of ice
The use of liquid air
to physicians was also told
of. Supposing an amputatlon OF q
foot was necessary; the limb would be
frozen which would stop the circula-
Ition of blood, relieve the pain, and
when the operation had been COM
pleted the member would return to its
natural stage again.

For An Institute.

The News is asked TO urge the farm
ers roundabout Baraboo to arrange for

attached to such meeting. The state
furnishes the speakers and at such a
place the best methods of conducting
farm are discussed. Baraboo should
have an institute every year and those
interest ed should see that arrange
M ents are made for the meetings.
