FIRE DAMAGES BARN
Property of William Ca
hisch Is Threatened
Cause Unknown.

About 7:45 o'clock last evening the
barn at the creamery conducted by
William Cafiisch, corner Seventh and
Barker streets, was somewhat damaged
by fire. The cause of the fire is not
known, but the supposition is that
mice were meddling with matches.
Mr.. Catiisch states that he was IN the
barn about fifteen minutes before the
fire broke out and everything appeared
to be alright.
When the blaze was noticed coming
from the roof the horses were taken
from the barn and the alarm turned
in. By the time the company arrived
the fire had good start and it was
several minutes before it was under
control. The roof and upper part of
the barn was damaged and a number
of bales of hay and some grain were
lost. The damage is estimated at about
$3.50. There was no insurance.

BRIGHT WERE THE SKIES
On Tug H!;iiGljiNOR|AL DAY

T the Lincoln Gettysburg address. The
large audience was addressed by Rev.
E. p. Hall, the pastor of the church,
who spoke in part as follows:
Ladies of the Relief Corps, members
of the Grand Army, and fellow citi-
zens: Questions which affect our
country in the future are questions
for all good citizens, for they also affect
our souls after we pass out of the body
into eternity. We are here to live,
but so to live that they who come
after us may live on higher planes,
with nobler ambitions and impuls s
than we have lived in, we influencing
them.
"When we come as American citi-
zens to ask ourselves the practical
question, how we shall live so that the
world shall be better because of our
living, we look not only at our institu-
tulions and plan for their perpetuity,
but we seek most earnestly to transmit
to other ages that which is most
glorious in the history of our own
times.
s'No mere history, though it were
inspired by Jove and written by
Isaiah, could carry the wealth of free
dom's greatest victories to mankind.
Thus there have been days, sacred
days, memorable days, marked in the
calendar of the world's advancement,
and designated as worthy to arrest the
worlds attention and to receive the
benediction and blessing of all men
who love justice and fair play. In
the annals of the short AMI yet in
tense life of this American nation
there are two most memorable days.
You might blot out every printed page
of the history of our Revolutionary
fathers, and take away every stone OF
every monument and grind them TO
powder and scatter them to the winds
of heaven, yet you could not obliterate
from the minds of the American
people the thought of freedom nor
the price that was paid in blood for
it's attainment by those whose names
we cherish now and always. The
Fourth of July is a, monumental day
that the tooth Of time may not crum-
bic or vandal hands may not deface or
take away. Thus this day, that bids
fair to be the greatest day in the history
of our national life, may not be for
gotten. There might be taken away
every vestage and trace of the fratrici-

GYPSYIWENT INTO
TROUSERS POCKET
Sad Plight of Sauk City
Man When Fortune
Teller Passed by.

A band of gypsies passed through
the twin cities, says the Prairie du Sac
News. AS soon as the wagons reached
that city the women deserted them
and walked the streets with the view
of coveting some money by for
tune telling, not being very successful
in this, one of them used baser
means TO secure some. She was sue
cessful in removing purse containing
$73 in cash out of the side pocket of
acob Tobler's trousers. Mr.. Tobler
was not aware that his purse was
taken and did not miss it until z
O'Clock in the afternoon. He made the
loss known and immediate chase was
made upon the dusky tribe. They
were overtaken at Springfield Corners
but the pursuers did not secure all the
money. Not until the next day when
they again made chase overtaking
them near Middleton did they get all
the stolen cash, The gypsies are said
to be "well fixed" financially, yet it
required some effort on part of the
pursuers to obtain the stolen property.

The sky was coudless, the streets
were dustless and the air was bracing
on Memorial Day. Business was sus-
pended and thoughts were turned to
those who had fought TO save the
flag. The ceremonies were impressive
and kindly thoughts were expressed
and manifested for those who wore the
blue.
During the morning the sons of
veterans and cadets marched to the
cemetery, the veterans covering the
distance in automobiles. The graves
in the cemeteries were decorated and
the monument in the park was
wreathed in flowers. The automo-
biles provided by the citizens were
decorated in red. white and blue and
impressed the observer with the
thought that the long marches of the
heroes of '62 were over.

dramas for the past season and has
been casting about for likely material.
One of their finds is William Schil-

shun his destiny" The scenes are
tense, the situations wonderful, &C
cording to the published reports and
the company, it is declafed, is above
anything seea on the vaudeville stage
of smaller cities in years. Last sea
son Mr.. Schilling assumed the leading
role in 1.-The Vampire" and excited the
critics to admiration for his clever
work. In Destiny he is assisted by
| four actors of known value on the
dramatic stage. The settings are mas
