Ole Courthouse
Fountain.

Baraboo has pubic sanitary foun
tain. If you are stranger you may
not have noticed it, but it is in pub
lie place where all may drink from it
and be refreshed. An aquarium has
also been started in connection with
the fountain. This fountain is great
attraction and very popular with the
boys. They may be seen from early
morn It'll the curfew sounds circed
about this aquarlo-fountain, enjoying
its pleasures. Their chief sports seem
to be placing their sterilized (?) hands
over the sanitary drinking cups in an
effort to convert the central fountain
into an "Old Faithful" geyser; the

what difference does that make? It is
only fish, and boys must be amused.
Oh, no! these little ennobling sports
should not be interfered with as our
boys should be encouraged to take part
in such n aniy sports, even if dumb

thereby. Yes, Baraboo should be
proud of her beautiful sanitary foun-

Sank County Bear Stories

about Is feet. Father got out on the
flat rock in front of the cave and could
look in and see the BEARS eyes, but
could not tell in what position he was.
He fired several shots at him while
the other man did the loading. They
used the old lnuzzle leaders in those
days. At last one shot took effect,
broke the BEARS under jaw and he
came tearing out right at him. There
was now no load in the gun, so he
thought he would break the gun over
him. He stepped back to strike. but
stepped little too far and went over
the rock below. The bear started after
him but our dog seized bruin by the
ham and while the dog and bear were
fighting, the man, who was with
father, shot the bear in the head and
killed the animal. Father picked hinl-
self up and climbed back to the cave
TO find the bear dead. He said if the
dog had not stopped the bear he would
have been bruised up worse than he
was, altho be was badly shaken and
Scratched up from the fall. They made
a withe, put it around the bears neck
and dragged 1t home that night, reach
ing home about 8 O'Clock. The bear
weighed about 200 pounds. [ remem-
Der when father skinned him he put
the hide on like coat and it was a

Father killed many deer; / remem-

A VETERINARY FAMILY

DR.. G. A. Deadman of Madison was
in Baraboo on Friday, called here by
Dr.. Thompson, the veterinarian. DR..
Deadmau is of an unusual family of
veterinarians. His grandfather, Jacob
Deadman, was veterinary surgeon in
Great Britain, 1928 to 1864. DR.. Dead
mans father, DR.. w. III. Deadman,
ST., followed the same pursuit, 1852 to
1894. He was the father of eight sons,
all being veterinarians. One of the
brothers, DR.. ]. f. Deadman, of Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich, is twin, is the
father of triplets, has mare which
surprised the family with twin colts,
and has COW that gave birth to two
headed calf lSome of the family ac-
euse him of having chickens which
lay double eggs but this he does not
claim for he keeps no chickens. Some
OF the boys of the eight sons are veter-
inarians, bringing the business down
through four generations.
While here DIR. Deadman and DT.
Thompson performed an operation on
an hermaphrodite horse owned by
Henry sehellenbeFger. A hermaphro-
dite animal is one that possesses the
characteristics of both male and
female. This is quite common among
the lower forms of animal and plant
life but is rare among the higher forms
of animals. The horse owned by Mr..
Schellenberger was peculiar in that it
was very vicious and the operation
will result In making it more gentle.
While making their rounds number
of cases were treated.
Mrs. Deadman is daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Carl Braun, of Baraboo and
will be remembered as Miss Agnes
Braun.

MISS PANsY A CENTURY OLD.
Since Baraboo Is a pansy center and
many thousands are shipped from
here to manyl states each year, the
following from the Record Herald
will be of interest. The editorial reads
as follows:
"Amid matters of great Importance
it will interest garden lovers TO learn
that the year 1912 lis the centenary of

1912 tire daughter of the Earl of Tank
erville took up from the hedgerows of
England number of plants of the
wild heartsease. These she carefully
cultivated, and from year to year she
selected the seeds of the finest speci-
mems for reproduction. By this means
she made the pansya recognized gar
den flower.
The finest pansies today are three to
four inches in diameter, whereas the
wild heartease is small and incon-
spicuous flower. A true red pansy has
been developed. Red pansies will be

DEFuNCT KANSAS TOWNS.

The secretary of the Historical
Society of Kansas has compiled a
pamphlet which tells pathetic story
of defeated enterprise, disappointed
hopes and desperate struggles with
diversity, says the st. Petersburg
(FIa.) Independent. 1t is neither
10 IRE nor less than descriptive list of
towns in Kansas which tiourished flor
time and then vanished from the
M ap::forever. How many such towns
would you say there have been in
Kansas? 4 Even: if you think your
estimate liberal one, it probably is
too low, the independent continues.
Toe actual number is in excess Of
twenty-four hundred. Of all these
communities not one remains, and
even the names of most of them are
forgotten. Some died because Of their
bad location, some were transported
piece-meal to more desirable sites
miles away, some Iperished because of
drouth andlthe scourge of grasshop-
pers, while others were erased from the
map by devasting cyclones. These
towns had populations
ranging from one thousand to twenty
five hundred. n They prospered and
gave the promise of a great future.
Today theres remains hardly stick or
stone to tell the story of their disap-
pearance, Food for,thought here,

(THE TWENTY-FIFTH STORY
AS [ have been reading the bear

that happened many years ago when

which it had made OF brush and
leaves. They run it all the afternoon
but could not get near enough to get
shot at it, so he left it and came
home late. He went to neighbor
about mile away who had two more
hounds and got him to go with him
the next morning. They took up the
trail and soon had the bear going

Capitol Is
Fine.

The new six million dollar capitol
building of Wisconsin will be the
handsomest structure of its kind in the
United Sta ties according to Lew F.
Porter, secretary of the capitol COM
mission and supervising architect.
With the exception of the Wisconsin
capitol the most pretentious structures
are those of New York, which will cost
tW enty million and of Pennsylvania
which will cost eight million. Neither
in size, design. or architectural beauty
will either of the two eastern build
sings excel that of Wisconsin.

AID SOC|E TIES
PICNIC AT LAKE

The Ladies' Aid society of the Ger
man M. e. church of this city enter
tanned the Ladies' Aid society of the
Madison German nj. E. church at u
picnic at Devils lake yesterday. AL
though the weather was not as beauti-
full as they would liked to have had it,
the day was pleasant one and one
which will not be forgotten soon.
There were about fifty ladies present
from Baraboo and about twenty-five
from Madison. Those from here went
to the State Park on the early morn
ing train and the Madison ladies ar
rived on the 8 o'clock train. The
morning was spent with contests of
all kinds; the fat ladies raced for
prize as we'll as the lean, tall, short
and smallest ladies. The two presi-
dents of the societies, Mrs. Fannie
Rumpf of Baraboo and Mrs. Gandre Of
Madison, and the two ministers of the
churches, Rev. w. F. EIske of Bara-
boo and Rev. G. A. Gandre of Madi-
son, engaged in lively sprint also.
There were wheelbarrow and pan con-
tests for which the winner and the
loser received a prize. The awards
were souvenirs of the Devils Lake
State Park.
At noon a sumptuous dinner was
prepared on the large tables in the
Kirkland yard.
In the afternoon the picnic party
climbed to the Devils doorway which
was no easy task for many of the
women. On the return launch ride |
was enjoyed around the lake. The
Madison ladies returned on the after |
noon train feeling greatly indebted to
the local society for the enjoyable day
and stated that the occasion would be
repeated at Madison in the near |
future. Each member of the picnic |
wore cloth badge bearing the date of |
the event and the name, "Devils Lake
State Park.
An address of welcome was given by
Rev. w. f. EIske and was responded
tn nv Rev. @. A Gandre. The two
presidents OF the societies gave short
talks also.

NOT AFRAID OF THE TAX.

The following from The Milwaukee
Free Press is sent to this paper for
publication with the remark that it
throws some new light on the subject
to the sender. The article reads as
follows:
1t must strike some of the income
tax protesters as something like the
irony of fate that even while they
clamor that this unusual and un-
necessary tax will drive capital from
the state, one large enterprise after
another has either invaded Wisconsin
or enlarged its local plant.
Only within the past few days the
public has seen the announcements of
the removal from Detroit to this city
o. big motor truck company, en-
ploying from 1000 to 5000 men and of
the opening of fine new factory by a
prosperous boxlconcern.
There has:been good deal of OBJ
.ction to the income tax, no doubt,
b 1t it has come from individuals
rather than from business concerns.
Whatever may be the attitude of the
general public, there is little reason to
b,lieve that much really desirable
capital,will quit the state on account
OF this tax.
Its criticsswould do we'll to watch
the operation of this revenue producer
before they make further prognostica-
lions of it's baleful effect. They would,
on the whole, perform a greater pub
lie service if lthey confined themselves
to pointing TOUT the undesirable fea-
lures of the Wisconsin law rather than
condeminggthe entire income-tax prin-
ciple, which has so successfully DEM
onstrated its superiority to the per-
sonal property tax.in other countries
as an effective and equitable manner
of raising revenue.
