CONSCIENCE TROUBLES HIM
Man VINO Took Articles
From Merchant We ants
to Repay.

A resident of this city has received
a peculiar letter. 1t seems that some
time ago a merchant had in his en-
ploy man who some time ago left
the city and nothing more was heard
of him until letter came saying he
was in Waukesha and had become
converted. He went on TO say that
while in the employ Of the merchant
he had occasionally taken cheese, crack
ers and pickles to lunch up
on and wanted to repay him
for it.
He said he was sorry he took the
things. He did not say that they
disagreed with him, so it is presumed
that it was his conscience that was up
set. He did not, however, send any
money to back up his claim of stricken
conscience. It is understood he join
ed the holy jumpers.

COMPANY SETTLES
WITH FIREMAN
J. H. Schmitz, Who Was
Injured Last April,
Receives $4,000.

Yesterday the Northwestern road
made settlement with J. H. Schmitz,
the fireman who was injured last
April when he was struck in the head
with protruding mail crane. He re-
ceived $500, of which 5000, it is said,
G )es to his attorneys.
The injury Mr.. Schmitz received in-
capacitated him from further work on
the road and leaves him practically an
invalid as even now hours Of slight
physical exercise will completely tire
him out. For time after the acci-
dent happened his life was dispaired
of and since then eminent physicians
in Chicago have examined him and
s. ate that be will never regain his
health and strength.
Mr.. SchmitZ has wife and several
small children and until recently the
family lived in Baraboo but are now
residing in Wausau.
The accident to Fireman Schmitz
happened April II near WOnewoc
about o'clock in the morning. AS
the flying mail train passed the en-
CINE which SchmitZ was firing he
was struck in the head by mail
crane and rendered almost uncon-
scious. He was probably leanin e
some distance out of the cab window
at the time. His skull was fractured
and an operation was performed at
Madison the same day, at which time
a small portion of the bone was re-
moved.

Some Lemon.

Mrs. J. J. Ochsner of Prairie du Sac
raised a lemon that weighed one
pound and four ounces ami measured
135 inches in circumference. The tree
on which it grew was three years old

From the Sunflower State
R. M Dunlap formerly Baraboo Writes of the SOIL In
dustries Churches and Schools, at Linn, Kansas.
Linn, Kansas Feb. IS, 1911.

Having been in Kansas two months,
[ will try to tell you something about
this part of the state and the people.
You will not expect me to describe the
whole state since there is almost as
much diversity in Kansas as in Wis
consin. This part of the state is
mostly prairie, with some scrubby
timber along the creeks and rivers.
Some of it is level, but generally roll
ing | have seen nothing within IS
miles of here which Sauk county peO,
pie would call hill, and [ have been
around some, too.
The soil is mostly a grayish loam'
and is fairly rich-the moisture ques-
ton being the most disturbing one.
Going beneath the surface from
inches to a foot we find a subsoil they
call gumbo, though not always. This
gumbo is very hard when dry, and
very sticky when wet. The farmers
in ibis part of the state cultivate more
land than they can attend to properly,
lust as most Wisconsin farmers do,
only more so. Otherwise the soil
would be considered good.

Farmers Sowing Oats.

The winter has been very mild.
No snow to speak of since about three
inches fell early in December and was
gone in a few days. There is no frost
in the ground, and there probably
hasn't been two weeks at any time
this winter when some farmers
haven't done pIowing aud disking.
They are sowing oats now. However,
they say these conditions are unusually
fine, even for the Sunfiower state.
Speaking of sunfiowers, there is one
tackled up on one of our store fronts
which measured 15ft 8 in.
We have had splendid roads, ,couldn't
help it with level ground and dry
weather. Mrs. Dunlap and | gave
them good test the other day in this
wise: Mr.. Beeson, our real estate
dealer, invited US to go with him and
Mrs. Beeson to the county seat, eleven
miles away Thus % miles of ''autC
riden will be one of our pleasant mem
ories when we return to Wisconsin

plenty here, but turkeys are scarce.
People are SOciable.

The people are more soGiably, in
cined than farther east, just as is al
ways the case in the enewer parts of the
country. Aside from religion, which
is more plentiful than in Baraboo, the
people are in better moral condition.
No doubt the temperance sentiment of
the people is responsible for This state
of affairs. There is little "boot leg
ging" done, so that there is once in a
while an intoxicated man seen, but
there is not enough disordar to call fol-
a policeman of any sort.
We have four churches; Methodist,
Advent Christian and two German.
The two English speaking churches
are on the most friendly terms; in
fact are as one on some occasions. The
young people are organized into one
society which meets on alternate weeks
in each church-Whichever one has
the preaching that night. 1t happens
that our appointments do not conflict
Sunday evenings, on account of the
pastors having work to do in other
places.
The public schools of Kansas are
unusually good. [ think they claim
to be second to none except-well, OF
course it would be Wisconsin-so my
informant was not thinking of Baraboo
or Fairfield in particular. $4,000 and
up is paid for teachers, but they must
be real teachers to get the jobs. Our
children are getting along nicely in
the Linn school, which carries through
the 10th grade.

Dry Farming Unknown.

"Dry farming" is unknown in this
immediate community, if am cor
rectly informed. But | am told that
they are more progressive in some
other parts, yet the people here have
no cause to complain. They seem to
be laying up money, and [ have not
found a disconnected farmer since COM
ing West.
There is not so much expense put
into houses here. Usually the farms
are larger than in Wisconsin out the
houses are much smaller. A 400 acre
farm supports about such farm as 81
acres does there. Of course there are
exceptions. The very high price of
| building material here probably has
something to do with the size of the
! houses. Most of the barns here would
not do at all during the winter in Wis
consin; they are large but open to the
cold. The public buildings are large
enough.
This little town of Linn has only
/ about 800 people, but there is more
farm produce sent out than the North
western carries away from Baraboo
Two grain elevators are kept busy
and the stock yards handle lots of hogs
and fat cattle. There is not much
dairYing done here. Butter is all one
price, though in grade all the way
from grease up to the first class article
The surplus is dumped into barrel:
regardless of quality and sent to .th'
relovators farther east. Poul try

on the Pacific side. Many of the regu-
lar traders between New York and the
far east had crews composed of Chin
csc exclusively, and not few have
Lascar crews, but rare is the merch-
ant craft that does not carry at least
a few Chinese in some capacity. De-
sertions from the eastern traders at
Atlantic coast ports were Of quite
common occurrence.
Detectives who made an investlga-
ton found that the society that ship
ped bogus seamen to the United
States had headquarters in Hong
Kong, with IA branch Office at Canton
and agents throughout the Chinese
empire. This society guarantees for
a consideration 10 land a client in
New York, this port being the favorite
because Chinese are not closely
watched and the chances of conceal
ment here are better. The Chinese
thus shipped are generally signed as
either ships cook or officers cook
Once the society is assured that their
man is shipped his photograph and in
structions are sent to the agent of
the band in New York This agent is
for the safe landing of the
client here. Such a man is, in a way
under the protection of the society.
and in some cases work is obtained
for him for consideration.
