The business men and citizens
of Baraboo this 23rd day of
April, 1912, at mass meeting
assembled, hereby resolve:
That it is the sense of this
meeting that the citizens of Bar
abOo as well as the citizens of
Wisconsin feel just pride in the
success of Ringling Brothers.
Baraboo has been their home ev-
er since they made their humble
beginning. From that time I'M
til the present day they have
steadily and firmly advanced un-
til their institution is the largest
Of its kind in existence. Their
success is chiefly due to their
integrity, their loyalty to their
home town, their manly meth
DDS, their devotion to business,
their fidelity to each other and
their high ideals. They have
materially assisted in building
up our city, have built beautiful
homes and in addition to the an
nual amount of money they
spend, they have added greatly
to real estate values and the gen.
eral prosperity of the place. That
we deplore the fact that in a pub
lie discussion of the income tax
law any personal references were
made.
We pledge our loyalty and Of
fer our undivided support TO
Ringing Brothers and express
the hope that their business in
terests may not be antagonized
to any extent that will necessi-
tate the removal from Baraboo
of their permanent winter quar-
tiers.
Adopted.
Geo. T. Thuerer,
Chairman.
T. +. Risley,
Secretary.

BEAUTIFYING ST. COLUMBA'S

For several weeks past st. Colum-
ba's church grounds have been un-
dergoing a transformation. The en-
tire block has been parked and plant
ed with trees some of them like the
white horse chestnut being very orna-
mental. New sidewalks and curbing
are being put in at the north end of
the property and the whole planted
with grass seeds. Climbing ramblers
are being planted around the build
ing, and rectory, making the entire
block one of the city's beauty spots.
1t is expected that when the mother
superior of the Mercy order reaches
Durango similar improvements will
be carried out in the grounds Of the
academy. st. Columba's school is
very busy with the closing examina-
tionc and the grand entertainment Of

BARNEY's EFFUsIoN.

DIR. Editor:
Knowing that two tickets had been
by clique and the
other by two gangs-I secured sam
pie ballot and found that there are
ten real friends of commission gov
ernment on the commission ticket and
FIVE or the other one. So I placed
croEr mark opposite their names, and
thsl made six new nominations for
myself by writing the names of six
fri,rds of the movement in the blank
spaces left for that purpose. then
voted for my candidates by placing
cross mark opposite Their names. By
marking my ballot in that way and
not writing any party name at the
head of it, | saw that the judges Of
election would have no trouble in can
vassing my vote, and at the same time
that could express my own opinion
as TO who should frame the charter.
They can run the steam roller over
me in the conventions but at the polls
am free.

As the Government Troops
Advance Under Gen.
huerta.

Western Press
Ell PASO, Tex, May 11.-Gen. Pas
cual Orozco's advance guard of rebels
has been driven back toward Escalon,
the central base of the insurrectos in
porthern Mexico. Instead Of being on
The defensive the government troops
have within the last twenty four hours
pushed the attack vigorously, forcing
the rebels northward nearly twenty
miles to Conejos, about 200 miles
south of Chihuahua. Peronal and 9th
er towns, occupied by the liberal
forces within the week have been
evacuated by the federals. These facts
became known at A o'clock this morn
ing when a telegraph interview was
arranged between General Joaquin
Telles at staff headquarters of the
federal troops north of Berjemilleo
and the press representatives here
1t is learned that since early yes
ter6ay, when communication was es-
tai lished with headquarters, that Cen
e al Nictoriana Huerta, the federal
commander in chief, later had advanc-
ed nearly thirty miles. Huerta at
daybreak today was near Peronal and
ois ontposts were pitched northward
sowaru Conejos. Bringing up the rear
are the forces of General Rabajo,
while off towards the northwest near
Sierra Mojada, General Trucy Aubert
with 1000 men threatens to come due
east to Escalon to flank the main
body of the insurrectos under Oroz-
60. The federal forces now number
ten thousand men and the latest esti-
mates give Orozco several thousand
fighting men. With the reserves it is
e'ti mated altogether about $4,000 men
are spread over the barren plains of
.he desert sand within a radius of
seventy five miles ready for the final
contest.

DURANGO CITIZENS BUSY.

Early this morning our citizens
were busy raking together the trash,
weeds and rubbish generally, in the
back yards and alleys. Mayor Hoods
proclamation for Cleanup day" is
being observed by many citizens. The
city is busy grading up and cleaning
the streets, and as we go to press
the city has a different appearance,
although there is much yet to be done
before we should be satisfied. The
Civic club as an organization has ta-
ken an active part in beautifying
Durango. The city council has taken
the necessary steps to clothe Durango
in real summer dress. Let every
citizen who has been unable to clean
up bis premises do so at the earliest
possible date.

ENTERTAINMENT BY BAND.

Somehow the citizens forgot the
regular order of business last even
ing and wended their way to the vi
cinity of Ninth street and Main ave-
nue where the musical strains Of the
band appeared to be calling the crowds
FIR entertainment. Hundreds of peo-
pie we're anxious to hear the band
in its initial performance before the
public in the open air. For some
time since the reorganization, the
band boys have been engaged in prac-
tice and Director o. X. Hart deserves
much credit for the success accom-
plished at so early a date. The citi-
zens of Durango will enjoy an occa-
sional evening performance and the
reorganized Durango band will enjoy
the moral and financial support of
these who love music. Let us assist
these boys and make it possible for
Durango to have the best band in this
part of the state. 1t requires much
time in practice and the players should
be paid both for their skill and time.

In previous years, the crop has been

Tomorrow, May ~, is Mothers day,
and in accordance with the sugges-

nation by John F. Shafroth, governor
Of Colorado, the day will be generally
observed in this state by special serv-
ices in the churches, and by the wear
ing Of carnation.
AS worn in previous years, the col
or Of the carnation was white, wheth-
er she, in whose honor the flower was
donned, was living or dead. But on
account of the difficulty in obtaining
enough white carnations this year, the
custom has been changed trifle. II
your mother has joined the great ma

still living show your appreciation By
