Gi0eS r eaSon
f or His
Stand.

A. D. Brown, proprietor of the IXL
fruit farm in the Skillet Creek neigh
borhood, called at this office and de-
sires IL stated that he is opposed to the
decision at the last school meeting
held at the Lyons school house. At
that time it was voted by a large ma
jority that the boys or young men of
the vicinity be permitted to play on
the school grounds on Sunday. Mr..
Brown says Lyons is taking step
backward by such move. During
recent years Lyons has greatly i'm
proved in morals and wealth and to
publicly sanction ball playing on
the public school ground on Sunday
is to retrograde, he asserts. MI.
Brown says that number of years
ago he was called to assist the Sunday
school superintendent in Lyons in
maintaining order and since that day
conditions have greatly changed. lie
says it is perfectly clear that Sunday
school and base ball cannot be main
tanned in the village on the same day.
He regrets the move and thinks above
all else that base ball on Sunday is
bad enough without being played on
public property.

A SANER FOURTH.

Baraboo was comparatively quiet
on the Fourth of July. There were
not SO many loud explosions and ner-
vous people agreed that life was worth
living on Independence Day. Most
of the business places were closed and
much of the time the streets presented
a deserted appearance. There were
not SO many lives lost the country
over and there were not so many eyes
shot out or members manned. Those
who are working for saner Fourths
were surely pleased at the results in
Baraboo this year.

CELEBRATION IN
BAX7ER'S GROVE
Program Split in Twain by
a Passing Shower
at Noon.

To say the celebration at Baxter s
Grove was success would be putting
it mildly. The day was ideal to begin
with only the dust on the road made
it disagreeable travelling. The grove is
a beautiful place on the Wisconsin
river and was in fine shape for the
occasion. Much work and care had
been put upon it by Mr.. and Mrs.
Baxter that their friends and neigh
bors might celebrate in the old
fashioned way. AT an early hour the
people began TO assemble, some on
foot, in automobiles, on horseback and
in carriages and by IL o'clock large
congregation was settled down to en-
joy days entertainment. A platform
beautifully decorated for the occasion
was in evidence with seats for the
auditors and at IL o'clock the gavel
was heard and the exercises were be-
gun. The Baraboo Gem City Literary
society and the Fairfield Klover KIub
were the entertainers.
The first number was an original
song called the Grand Review by the
Gem City Literary society which was
sung by Miss Eva Watkins and Miss
Flossie Downie.
The second number was recitation
by the G. e. l.. S. in the person of
Marion Douglass. The foot ball game
was between Yale and Harvard. The
speaker got we'll started when the
long looked for rain b.gan to descend
scattering the people. Some took shell
ter in one place and some in another
but none were displeased and none
suffered on acco unit of the interference
of the much needed moisture. The
rain lasted for one half hour or more
after which everybody was smiling
and happy.
1t took couple of hours to dispose
of the good viands brought along to
eat and to assemble for the finishing
of the program. Marion Douglas again
took the platform and soon had his
hearers spellbound, both by oratory
and seIf-confidence, and gave fifteen
minute recitation and was loudly ap-
pauded. The third number was an
original song By a mem Der Of the G. |
G. l.. s., Myron Dick, for the occa-
sion entitled, In Honor of the G. G.
L. s. The song was rendered by the
members of the Gem City Literary
society and closed by giving the
Society yell which made the woods
ring.
The next was song by Miss Grace
Bindley with organ accompaniment
played by Miss Olive Thayer.
Then came musical selection given
by Clifford Capener and three assis-
tants which was enjoyed by all.
There was drill by number of
children which was very interesting.
Next was violin selection by Grin
Butterfeld with organ accompani-
ment. The next was violin selection
oy Manford Bump and Wills Gamble
The performance was both novel and
interesting and accompanied by pro-
Ionged applause. Then came the sack
ace with five men as contestants all
eaching the goal sooner or later in one
way or another, rolling, tumbling or
otherwise. All were treated from the
tand by those in charge of the pro-
ram. In shoe race with several con-
estants there was general mixup of
nen and shoes but all finally crossed

Girls in their teens should
not be pale, languiG, constant
ly fatigued. Nature intended
them to be bright, energetic
and active.
Every parent Of a growing
girl, and every young woman
who looks after herself, should
be constantly on the watch
for symptoms Of impoverished
blood. The happiness Of a
lifetime depends upon giving
the blood the help it needs at
this time, when girls are too
frequently allowed to over
study, overwork or suffer from
lack Of exercise.
If your daughter is languld,
has a pale, sallow complexion,
is short of breath, especially
on going upstairs, has palpita-
ton of the heart, a tendency
to faint and a poor appetite,
she suffers from lack Of blood.
The most satisfactory way to
give the blood the elements
which it lacks is by using DR..
Williams Pink Pills. A
thorough trial will make the
blood pure and red.
Two booklets, "Plain Talks to Women"
and Building Up the Blood" will be sent
free upon request. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People are sold by all druggists, or
will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, so

CHARGED IN SALE
 OF SECTION 16 SCHOOL LANDS

Montgomery, May (Special)-- Negligence. carelessness anu reckless ness have characterized the supervision and sale of 16 section school lands in Alabama and the state has received s2,012.o7120 for timber and mineral lands valued at millions of dollars, ac- cording to report of Examiner J. T. German. which was filed with Governor O'Neal Thursday. The legislature has never enacted laws for the protection and preservation of the lands, and school trustees have sold timber and land illegally and have violated provis : ions of the grant of the United States. Ninety per cent of school lands owned by the state has been denuded of tim Der and in many instances trustees have not even made reports to the state educational department.
 School officials of Washington. Lauder 6ale and Franklin counties have not com riied with the law and the Toiler Creek Mill company of Washington county D. Henson and w. w. Cleere of Frarslin county and local trustees of section IS, township 1, range 10 west, Lauderdale county, are due the state $7009 20 includ- ing interest.

HUERTA'S FORCES IN GRAVE: DANGER Communication With His Base of Supplies Cut by
 the Rebels

Chihuahua. Mexico May 3o.-General Huertas forces, upon whom the Maderc government is depending to end the re- belion are in precarious condition, ac- cording to reports to rebel headquarters today. I.erdo. only a few miles from Torreon, today was reported to be in pos session of Generals campa and Argli- mendo, and If confirmed, this means the cutting of communication between GelI- eral Huerta and his base of supplies.
 From this position it will not be diff ficult for Campa and Argumendo. whose forces are said to number more than 250O, to cut the railroad behind Huerta and otherwise harass his rear guards. The country through which his long line of communication extends is also barren and unless he is able to keep it open the prob lem of maintaining his commissary will be serious. In front of the federal com mander extends a series of broken bridges and destroyed water tanks.
 To the list of destroyed bridges has been added the big steel structure at Santa Rosalia, go miles south of Chihua- hua. As far north as Ortiz all others have been torn out, the forces that were at Santa Rosaia being retired to La Cruz, 10 miles north Of Santa Rosalia

mer State Superintendent Of Education H. C. Gunnels. It has not been paid. The lands were granted to Alabama by Con gress5 March B., 1sl9. Eight years later the grant was amended so the state legis- lature could have authority to dispose of the lands and use the money for support of schools.
 The legislature few years later gave the superintendent of education authority to sell the lands, subject to approval of the governor.
 The code provides that the property can be disposed of only after a majority of voters have approved such action> Less than one-third of the original grant Is held by the state and 631.942 acres have been sold or disposed of at great loSp to the educational department. In some instances trustees sold land, collected the money and applied it in the erection of school houses. In others they sold the timber and leased turpentine privileges. These actions were illegal, according 10 the examiner.
 Suits involving s40o.ooo have been filed in Mobile county and the state will prose cute them, says the examiner. Charges of trespassing on school lands in all parts of the state will be made. says Gormah in his report.
