FIRST GUN FIRED
At WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Rev. Olympia Brown and
Miss Harriet E. Grimm
Speak.
tFrom Wednesdays DaIly.)

Last night at the Orpheum theatre
speeches were given on the subject of
woman suffrage. This is the first
movement which has been on foot in
Baraboo since the years 1878 and 1879.
The women who spoke here last night
were Rev. Olympia Brown of Rae ne !,
president of the Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation of Wisconsin, and Miss
Harriet E. Grimm of Canton, ILL
nois, national speaker on suffrage.
Mrs. Gcorgenia KoppKe introduced
the speakers. Mrs. Brown spoke first
and told of the general aspect of the
work and stated that the problem of
woman suffrage would be before the
voters of Wisconsin of November of
this year. She said that the women
were needed in politics and referred to
problems of identifying of cities to
which the women paid more attention
than the men. She stated a specific
incident in her home city in which an
appeal was made TO the city council
to prohibit the dumping of ashes
along the lake shore within the city
limits which was refused on the
ground that. the people must have
some place TO dispose of the ashes.
Miss Grimm opened her talk with
the old patriotic saying of our fore
fathers, Taxation without Represen-
tation is Tyranny" therefore the
women ought to have the ballot. She
told of the conditions in the line of
using money extravagantIy which ex-
listed in the legislature of Illinois. She
said that nearly half of the taxes of the
state were paid by women, the largest
taxpayer in the whole state being
Mrs. Mccormick of Chicago. Miss
Grimm quoted figures which illustra-
ted the extravaganza during a six
months session of the legislature.
She stated that the real reason of
bringing the women into politics is
that the government is matter OF
housekeeping. There are six states in
the union in which the women have a
right to vote at present, Colorado,
Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington
and California. The question will be
brought before the voters of the follow.
ing states next fall, Wisconsin, Kan
COG Nnvada and OrnUOp
At the Warren House in the after
noon a number OF votes for wo men
workers met the visitors.

ISSUES A STATEMENT

In the last issue of the Spring Green
News occurs the following from Frank
Lloyd Wright:
1t is perhaps no more than due to
say to the people of Spring Green and
that had no thought
of dragging scandal into their midst
when L built my home in their
vicinity.
My position here is an equivocal one
from any outside point of view, but it
is not disregard for morality nor bra
vado that prompted it. l had hoped,
by going about my own business
quietly, to protect everybody until the
time came when | could set my life in
conventional order.
[ have made no pretenses not
wholly honest and will make none.
| have no apology to offer, but [ have
assurances to make of an honorable
spirit and hope to be something
valuable and helpful to the people
here in time. Their consideration and
courtesy have been unfailing and
have led me to feel that they have
some faith in me beyond the reach of
the yellow press and that they are in
clined to give me, under trying circum-
stances, not only the benefit of the
doubt but also credit for sincerity and
honest purpose. I wish to ex-
press my gratitude for this and my
admiration for the dignity Spring
Green has maintained in this on
slaught of slanderous intent.

New Trimmings.

The extensive use of double-faced
cloth this season has done away with
the use of trimmings on many of the
utility coats, as the majority employ
the reverse side Of the fabric for col
lars, revers, cuffs and pocket flaps.
When a single texture is used for a
garment plain cloth In contrasting
color is used as trimming, frequently
giving the effect of coat made of
dot ble-faced cloth.
Plain and novelty velvets are like
wise favored and some satin is also
used
1t looks now as if fur and imitation
FUR would be popular as trimming on
winter garments, as the few now being
shown are taking readily.

AN AGED WOMAN
FROZEN To DEATH
Found in Her Home Five
Miles from the Village
of Loganville.
(From Mondays Da1ly.)

In this land of plenty and in por-
ulous county it seems incredible that
citizen would freeze to death, but such
is the case. This morning District At
torney James A. Malone received a
message from the coroner, DR.. Wes-
tedt, at Loganvile, stating that Mrs
Christina Klosack had been found
dead in her home, frozen TO death by
the frigid weather. The aged couple
lived alone about five miles from
Loganville in the town of Washington
Cold and want was their lot, accord
ing 10 the investigation made by the
coroner. The husband was also in
critical condition as the result of the
cold but was given comforts at the
home of neighbor as soon as the sad
state of the little family was learned.
Husband Knew Wife Was Freezing.
Adam Leischer of Loganville was in
Baraboo today and gave further parti-
culars of the case which is one Of the
most pathetic in the history of Sank
county. On Sunday morning neigh
Dor Steinhorst noticed that no smoke
was coming from the Klosack home.
He sent his son to make an investiga-
ton and when the visitor entered the
humble log cabin the first words that
met his ears were; "We are freezing to
DEATH" The voice was that of the
venerable husband, Simon KIosack.
His wife then lay in the bed bf side
him cold in death.
Unable TO Give Aid.
On Saturday both were alive but
in feeble! health. During the night
the cold was intense and the husband
knew his wife was dying. Both were
in the same bed but he was too weak
give aid. It was the only bed in the
house and the coverings were not
sufficient to keep the wife of
so many years from succumb-
ing to the intense cold. Mr.. Klosack,
too, was almost frozen and if succor
had not come then, life would soon
have been gone.
Had But Little Money
There was no fuel and the provisions
were low. Between $500 and $1,000
was all the money that they had.
The old couple formerly resided in
Honey Greek and had lived in the
town of Washington about five
years.
Aid had been offered them by those
in authority but this had been refused
and the old gentleman had said that
he would rather die before he would
go to the county farm.
FrOze at PardeeviIIe.
Lewis Stebbins of Pardeeville was
found dead, supposed to have frozen
to death.
Woman Freezes Near Portage.
To be caught in barbed wire fence
and frozen to death was the fate of
Mrs. J. Coolahan, who lived at Doyles-
town, near Portage. She was So years
old and was crossing the fields with
can to be replenished with kerosene
oil at neighOorhood store. Her
clothing became entangled in a wire
fence, through which she attempted
TO crawl. The aged woman was quite
feeble and was unable to free herself.
She died ofexposure before her plight
was discovered.

PRACTICAL RECIPES FOR
HOMEMADE PERFUMES
BY ELIZABETH LEE,

Making rose jar is delightful work
and when one has a large garden a,
ones disposal it is a good idea to buy
| number Of inexpensive but artistic
jars as. say, ginger jars, and fill then
| during the summer to be offered a.
Christmas gifts when the cost Of the rea
flowers is well nigh prohibitive. To make
the jar gather fresh roses when the petals
are really dry. Fallen leaves will answer
provided the ground Is not at all damp.
Cover the bottom of the jar with thick
layer Of rose leaves, and then add q
sprinklng of salt. Do this until the jar
is full.
Put in four ounces of pulverized bay
salt and one ounce each Of the following
spices: Cloves, cinnamon, grated nut
meg. orris root, also a little tincture OF
any kind Of flowers.
To obtain a tincture place flower
petals in glass fruit jar and cover with
alcohol. Cork tightly and let it stand for
q few days in a dark. cool place. Then
strain through a clean cloth, squeezing
the flowers SO as to extract as much of
the perfume as possible. Bottle and use
pure or diluted, as preferred. A tea
spoonful mixed with distilled or rose
water makes an exquisite toilet water.
A very delightful perfume can be
made from the rose geranium leaves and
alcohol. If allowed to stand some weeks
the perfume will be quite strong.
Iol pouIEi from n rose jar IN tndl
dried flowers and whole spices are used
instead Of fresh petals and ground spices.
These are the proportions: One pound
of dried lavender flowers one pound of
rose leaves crushhed orris root half a
pound, crushed cloves two ounces,
crushed allspice two ounces, and one
pound Of table salt.
Violet water can be made at home with
little trouble or expense. Half a pint
of alcohol and half pound of bruised
orris root should be put into wide
mouthed glass bottle and be well shaken
together: after eight or ten days it is
ready for filtering. Rebottle and the per-
fume is ready for use.
Smelling salts can be made at home,
or. If one has already purchased a bottle
the strength can be kept up and so make
the salts last much longer. To prepare
a salts bottle, put in carbonate OF am
monia, adding one part OF any desired
perfume to eight of the carbonate of am
monia
mouthed glass stoppered bottle small bits
ammonia. adding a few drops of any per-
furne desired. AS the bits of sponge dry
they can be moistened time and again.
Lavender water that Is most refresh
ing is composed OF alcohol six ounces
rose water. one ounce. oil of lavender
four drains, and q very slight addition
OF oil of cloves.
To make. mix the oils with a small
quantity of the alcohol and shake well
Next, add the rest of the alcohol, little
at time. then put in the rose water
Leave for some time, shaking frequently.
The longer it stands the better it will be.
