ISCHARGED WITH MURDER
OLE VAN DYKE is WANTED BY
REEDSBURG AUTHORITIES
Crime of Killing a Man the Alleged
Offense Former Resident Here;
Born at Old SpringviIIe

Sheriff Root, Monday morning recei-
we'd card from officers of Reedsburg,
which bore the photograph of Rolls
(Ole) VanDyke, stating chat he j. want
ed for the murder of Frank Priest in
that city, the crime being committed
on Saturday night, Priest dying before
morning. No particulars are related in
he warhinP to officials, but it comes
through newspapers and otherwise that
the man whom ii is stated Van Dyke
Stayed was divorced husband of Van
Dykes present wife. 1t seems that
the two met on Saturday night, either
at VanDyke's house or elsewhere in
the city, and the result is the death of
Priest. VanDyke then fled and all pos
sible means are being employed to eff
feet his capture.
VanDyke is well known throughout
this county, having been engaged with
William Webb in well drilling work
He was born ct Springville about forty
three years ago, his father being the
blind man who dispensed pencils and
other trinkets from time immemorial.
The man now wanted for a capital
crime, married a daughter of Fred
Gross of Retreat neighborhood. who
died some seven or eight years since,
her seven children being taken home by
Mr.. and Mrs Gross and cared for to
this day. Soon after that VanDyke
left here, residing at different points.
Two or three years ago he married a
divorced wife of one Frank Priest at
Reedsburg. Rolls is member of the
state national guard, belonging to the
Reedsburg company.
That he win be captured is practical
ly certain. Few men elude officers of
the law who are charged with crime of
that magnitude.

Viroqua mas dedicated her seventh
church edifice the new ! N m nue. |
house of worship recently completed,
located on land purchased from the old
John r. Casson homestead, between
that place and the residence Of F. III.
Towner. It is an imposing. though
modest looking structure, with as neat
and well arranged an interior as the
picture above displays the exterior.
The furniture is entirely new pews,
pulpit, altar and chapel organ, uniform
in color and finish, with maple flooring.
The walls are painted and decorated
most bocomingly, stained windows-in
fact everything forming a harmonious
relation and contrast.
The congregation affiliating with this
church are quite scattered,a substantial
class of farmers in the main. They
have seconded, heartily, Pastor Jacob
sons efforts in this work, but to him,
primarily, is due the credit To his in
dustry and personal handiwork is man
ifest in the enterprise from start to
finish. He has worked with head and
hands to bring about the accomplish.
ment In his modest way we prefer that
the history and present status Of the
church shall be told, hence submit a
prepared statement BY Pastor jacobson:

and they assembled to give God
thanks. A large gathering was present
and all seemed TO enter into the spirit
of the occasion. Rev. NJ G.. Hanson
Of Kenyon, Mimi, president Of Hauge's
Lutheran Synod. conducted the SER
vices, assisted bv the Reyerends ID. T.
Bergen, NJ. j. Westphal, s. G. Simon
son and the local pastor, while our ac-
commodating Ben Brown presided at the
organ.
Work on the church, which measures
39x4Sxl6 feet, with an entry Of 8x5
feet, was begun last September, and Is
now finished. The cost Of the church
has been approximately 81, 900, Of which
some over So, 000 has been raised, leav-
ing a debt of eight or nine hundred dol
lafs While it is true, that il has been
necsssarS for members Of the cOngre-
cation TO go deeply into their pockets
TO furnish the means to carry on the
work, It shall be said also at the same
time, that the successful achievement
was in a large measure due to the very
liberal support by business men and
other citizens Of Viroqua, not members
of Emmanuel church. Viroqua has GER
tainly many big-hearted people, who
cheerfuily respond In helpful way 70
other worthy causeg than those in
which they may personally be interest
ed
The members and pastor of the In
manuel Lutheran church, greatly have
learned to appreciate this magnanimous
spirit Of helpfBlness made manifest
while soliciting aid They heartily
wish to thank everyone m Firoqua,
who have contributed toward making
possible She realization TO tlein Of a
chureh-home.

AGAIN BEATS PAST RECORD
Viroqua Creamery to Make Big Six
Months Over-run of SO, 1905

The Viroqua creamery is again to
''eut big melon" as they call 1t when
Standard Oil and other corporations
make huge division of earnings or sur
plus. OF course il sounds bad, very
bad, when Rockefeller or some other
corporationist makes zig profits, but
mighty good when we, the people, APP
proach that standard OF profits, because
Il Ia US and our neighbors, and we all
rejoice that such prosperity is secured
through legitimate organization. Al
though the price Of butter is lower than
last year and some other seasons, yet
the profits are splendid ard almost in
comprehensive so far this year. The
amount Of butter manufactured from
January to July first was 3lS, ISL pounds.
Average Elgin price has been "a cents.
Adding an Over-run of four cents per
pound brings the price for six months
TO an average Of - cents. The over.
run on this was from 26l, 917 pounds of
butter fat. This $40, 476 68 juicy melon
will be sliced among $50 patrons o.
the creamery, July 81. Sale Of butter
and over-run for six months was very
close to 500, 900, and ii will more than
double that amount during the balance
of the year, making the Yiroqua cream
cry by far the largest producing organ
ization Jr establishment in western
Wisconsin. And that's something to
be congratulated over.
The creamery cannot meet all de-
mands for its product. All butter made
by it is sold at a premium over Eigin
prices delivered on cars in Viroqus.
