An Appeal to Mr.. Speeder.

A timely appeal to the reckless
automobile driver is published in the
Stanley IN. d. Sun. The article is
published below as it readily applies
to local conditions also. We quote:"
"Say, Mr.. Auto Speeder, back up.
If you don't have any regards for the
city ordinance, have thought for
that flaxen haired girl or boy that be.
longs to your neighbor. If you still
persist in INDUCING your present ap-
petite for speed in the city limits,
some day you'll awake from your
lethargy and find that your cruel
machine has stamped out the life of
your neighbours child and blighted
the home that can never be reconciled
to the loss of that sweet halo of child.
hood. Perhaps you have a child of
your own? Yes. Well, how would
you feel if you got q hurry-up mes
sage to come home, and when you get
there you find your wife in tears, the
calm surgeon bending over colorless
heap Of bleeding clay that was once
the pride of its dads heart. You
wait perhaps for days and weeks for
the sad, sweet tremulo of that little
pulse to come back to normal and
then you wonder why people think so
little of human life.
For the sake Of your own wife and
child, Mr.. Bubbler, 60 slow. The
ordinance says you must go slow,
but We do not wish to invoke the or
dinance. We appeal to your own
manhood and the love of the home
that every manly man is ready to re-
cognise.

ORIGINAL RlNCLlNC SHOW.
Yankee Robinson Made the Present
Ringing Show.

The Ringing Bros, in an inter.
view In New York in April of this
year, made the statement that they
owed their success to the greatest of all
showmen, Yankee Robinson. For
two seasons the Ringing show endea-
vored to pilot their show on the sea OF
circusdom. But met with disaster each
time and wendell their way back to
Baraboo. Finally Yankee Robinson &
Rinaling Bros. Show made success.
This continued for some time, finally
Yankee Robinson and the Ringing
separated. Today these two man.
moth shows continue to rule the world
of circusdom, and each one is credited
with having the best circus perfor.

are still on friendly terms, each one
contented with the territory allotted
them each season. The only possible

lucky authors revel temporarily in the
wealth it brings them. Jerome H.
Remick Il Co. have had as many as
six OF these songs selling at one time.
This is remarkable record, but to
have one writer furnish four of them
seems almost miracle. Percy Wen
rich,. o1e OF our youngest song writer's
has again demonstrated his ability to
strike the popular fancy by his latest,
WE'VE KEPT THE GOLDEN

Founded, as it is, upon the Oldest
and greatest principle OF moral philo-
sophy, the lyric goes as straight to
the hearts of the music. loving multi.
tude as does the tuneful melody.
"A sentiment similar to that of "OLD
GRAY BONNET" pervades this song
and Young and old will benefit by its
moral.
When songs like "WE'vE KEPT
THE GOLDEN RULE" become DO

why SO many songs and poems
nave been written about dreams is a
question that has never been definitely
settled, still, every new song on the
subject that has literary merit and a
pleasing melody meets with public ap-
proval. THE VALE OF DREAMS,n
new song by Chas. E. Baer and
Johann c. Schmid, is at present very
popular in New York and Boston.
In fact it was in Boston that it first
attained popularity, by its rendition
at a Boston Conservatory concert.
A young contrslto made her debit
and instantly became famous BY her
rendition of "THE VALE OF
DREAMS" 1t is really a high.class
ballad, and far above the average pc.
pular song. The publishers, Jerome
81. Remick & Co., have of late years
devoted considerable money and
energy in trying to raise the standard
of popular songs, and "THE GAR
den of Roses" by the same compo-
sers, also q high-class ballad, has
outsold any of the popular
songs In their catalogue.
Musical taste is improving and
while the people still love the rollick-
ing songs of the vaudeville stage,
they welcome the better class of songs
in their homes. The first part of

new GAS PLANT INSTALLED
Generator, All His Own,
Now Furnishes Light At
Home Of Henry Hill.

At the home of Henry Hill in the
Skillet Creek neighborhOod new
acetylene gas plant has just been put
in operation and now the house, barn,
granary and other buildings are flood
ed with light in the evening. The gen
orator which has turned nis ht into day
at the Hill farm is known as the ''Jack-
SON. and was installed by III. 6. Welch
and w. w. Terwillieer who are the
agents in this locality for this type OF
gas plant
One of these home generators was on
exhibition during the fair and its
demonstration attracted considerable
attention, especially among those who
live outside the city and to whom its
advantages particularly appealed. The
manufacturers claim for this style OF
acetylene generator, cleanliness, safety,
economy of operation, comparatively
low initial cost and a light more re-
sembling sunlight than other artificial
illumination.
At Mr.. Hill's home there are 81
lights in the house, on the porch, 4 in
the barn, besides lights in the granary,
engine house and other buildings.
These are al supplied from the genera
tor which is located in the basement of
the house and to which there is no
meter attached to detract from the
pleasure of having plenty Of light. Mr..
Hills gas plant is corporation all his

CAMP BECOMES A LAKE
Much Damage to Power
Company Property at
Prairie du Sac.
From Saturdays DairS

Sauk City, Prairie du Sac and the
farming districts south and southwest
of there have suffered seriously.
Work on the big 100000 dam and
powerhouse being built by the Wis
consin River Power company at
Prairie du Sac, has been suspended.
Water is shooting eleven feet over the
preliminary construction work.
Most of the camp established for the
workmen has been turned into lake,
and nearly 81 ,OOO,OO0 feet of lumber has
been anchored to keep it from floating
down the river, possibly destroying
bridges and causing immense damage
Water is rapidly creeping up about
two engines stationed in the center OF
the river and used in the early con-
struction of the dam. The smoke
stacks and the upper part of the boilers
are about the only part of the project
that appears above water. Its loss to
the company will amount to thousands
of dollars.

The Olde st Power.

The Nc Fetridge water power is the
oldest on the BaTaboo river. In the
fall of 1889 Abe Wood and Wallace
Rowan ventured into the wilds OF the
Baraboo valley for the purpose of To-
eating a W ater power. They laid claim
TO the land where the Island WOOlen
company is located and Wood COM
menced work forthwith while Rowan
returned to his home at Poynette. The
site selected was little above the
present mill. Rowan returned early in
1910 but the work was slow and not
until they engaged Levi Moore was the
dam and mill completed. The saw
mill established was one Of the
horizontal affairs and soon after
business was established the whole was
swept away by a flood. About 1S45 the
dam was built where it is now located
and the 500 foot race cut across the
ssupper OK bow" A saw mill was first
built and in 1868 a wOolen mill was
erected. Besides Abe Wood, Wallace
Rowan and Levi Moore, among the
owners have been the following: Henry
Perry, Moses Nuff, j. b. Clement, M
J. Drown, George IL. Stewart, William
Andrews, D. S. Vittum, Henry Rich,
Alfred Avery and j. A Nc Fetridge.
Years ago there were four bearing
marks by which the watertab'e could
be ascertained. One was a cross on a
large stone in the river, one an iron
pin in the stone wall of the mill, one
on large rock on the bank and one on
the old chair factory building. All are
gone but the cross on the boulder in
the river. The chair factory is thing
of the past, the iron pin in the wall
has been taken away and the big stone
