Friday

Mrs. G. S. Helberg and daughter,
Miss Guinalr, returned to Lancaster
today after visit with friends here.
They are former residents of this city.
G. .. Wilcox of Fennimore was a
caller in this city yesterday. Mr..
Wilcox has charge of the narrow
gauge train out of Fennimore and
while working injured his hand. He
was called here to receive his claim
from the Northwestern road.
A man wing in neighboring town
has very red nose, and recently an
inquistive person said 10 him, Pardon
ms, but / am very anxious to know
why your nos is always red?" The
red nosed man replied, "My nose is
merely blushing with pride over the
fact that it has never butted into any
ones business"
The census of 1910 shows a increase
of almost 100000 colonies of bees on
the farms OF the United States. There
is also a considerable decrease in the
number of farms reporting bees. Since
bee keeping is one Of the most import
ant and profitable minor branches of
agriculture, this decrease among farm
er bee keepers is unfortunate. No re-
turns are available for the keepers in
towns and cities. Bee keeping is fast
becoming the business of the specia-
list and the number of men who de-
vote their entire attention To the
business is rapidly increasing. How
ever, there is no reason why the aver
age farmer cannot keep few colonies
of bees to supply honey for home
with perhaps some sur
plus for sale in good years.

shapes in the cliffs. At the place
where the ferry boat leaves the shore
on the east side of the river we OBJ
served the layer of diagonal and
curved strata which is so conspicuous
a feature above. It is here about three
feet thick but gradually becomes
thicker as we ascend the river from
this place.
The next morning our eagerness to
see the dreadful Dells induced US TO
leave our beds at 5 o'clock and drive
four miles to the Deli house situated
at the foot of the steep rock gorge.
The river is now unusually low so
that the current is not as rapid as
usual. In this respect we were very
fortunate as we were able to find
man who was willing to paddle us
up through the gorge in small boat.
When the water is high, about 10
feet above its present level, the
narrowness of the passage causes it to
rise and rush through with great force
and velocity. At such times it would
be impossible to ascend with boat.
The constant flow of water has worn
away the rocks on each side SO that
the river is wider at the water Level
than little higher up. The width of
the gorge i'll the narrowe>t place l.
about so feet SO that the story recorded
on some d maps that One could jumI
across is without foundation in truth.
At this place bridge is contemplated
for which charter has Teen granted
by the legislature of the state. The
general width may be stated as from
so to 100 feet.

Lake of the Hills

About three miles south of Adams
lies a small lake which is sunk deep
in a group of very high rocky hills.
From the high bluffs mile east OF
Adams the valley of this lake may be
seen forming a sudden break In the
hills and it is apparent to the eye that
the hills are higher at this place than
on either side. This lake is vulgarly
called Devils lake from the wild rocky
place in which it is found. 1t is al
most inaccessible except at one point
for teams. 1t has no visible outlet on
the surface, the surplus water bang
carried off by subterranean passages
into a small branch of the Baraboo.
From the stories / had heard about
this little lake / was prepared TO find
it one of much interest, perhaps the
crater Of an extinct volcano.
Passing directly south from Adams
we soon began to ascend the hills and
;ounl the roads difficult on'accOunt of
the numerous stones and sharp ascents.
About three miles from Adams we
found, although we had arcended very
considerably, we had much higher
hill on our left between us and the
axe. We ha ted opposite the south
end of The lake n | upon approaching
the bank found perpendicular escarp-
ment of this rock $50 TO $50 feet high,
reaching directly down to the water.
The lake is not entirely surrounded
by these rocks. There are tn ee promi-
nent cliffs separated by narrow val
eys. A large oody of broken fragments
nave accumulated along the edge OF
The water making it very difficult to
walk along the shore: yet two of our
party made the circuit OF the lake,
jumping from rock to rock as best
they could.
This rock appears to have dip from
the lake as indicated by the distant
view of the hills. We may therefore
suppose this valley or notch to owe its
origin TO violent uplift OF the rocky
strata, perhaps at the time they were
altered by the volcanic heat which
converted the sandstone into quart
ute rock. Such an uplift would nat
urally form chasm and leave the
strata inclining from it in different
objections.

tai layers, both alb We be ow. We
soon came to where the curved strata
were more irregular resembling the
banks of sand, gravel and clay in the
drift. This is said also to be the
character of the sandstone en- Lake
Superior, forming the Picture rocks.
No trace of fossils was discovered.
The navigation Of the DelIs is very
difficult, requiring much skill and ex-
penence to guide the RATS of timbe r
through without striking against
numerous projecting rocks.
Vegetation about the Dells presents
some peculiarities. We find here the
white, yellow and scrub pine, tn hem
lock and cedar. Among the shrubs
we notice comptonia, asplenoids not
before credited to Wisconsin.
The Little Town of Lyons.
From the Dells we passed south over
a prairie TO the little town of Lyons
situated on the Baraboo one mile
above Adams, the county seat of Sank
county. About one mile north of Ly'
ons we found ledge of rock similar tC
| that found at Portland in the south
west corner of Dodge county. 1t has
the same quality, character, and il
evidently the same geological forma
ton. Looking about we found larg'
fragments of congIomerate apparently
of the same kind of rock, the pebbles o
various sizes, usually less than an incl
in diameter. A mile below ADAM
the sandstone is quarried in the higf
bluff. Limestone is also found and
lime is burned for the use of the people,
of Adams, some seven miles from th'
village.

River Very Deep.

1t is related that stick of timber 8.
feet long was slid down the hill anU
precip tated over the bluff end wise,
into the water, at it went down ant
remained for some time out of sight,
such is the great depth of the vale
1t may be supposed to be 80 feet deep
The Delis may be considered as ex
tending from near the mouth of the
Lemon wier, ten miles above the Dell
house to the mouth of Dell creek four
miles below, having, therefore, a length
of about IL miles. Most of the way
the gorge is not SO narrow as the point
visited by US.
AS we padded along against the
current we occasionally crossed from
one side to the other to take advantage
of eddies and places where the water
runs less swiftly. When passing some
points of rock the force of three pad
dies was required to stem the rapid
current. Our guide at one place directs
the boat into an opening in the cliff
just sufficiently large to admit US; and
we passed for some yards through this
wide channel and again emerged from
another opening above the first. AT
another point we entered large
assure which extends 80 feet from the
edge of the water. 1t gradually dimin-
ishes the width above until it was
nearly closed at the surface of the
ground high above our heads. We
notice many other smaller assures.

When my little girl was about
eight months old, she was taken with
a very irritating breaking out, which
came on her face, neck and back,
When she first came down with it, it
came in little watery-like testers under
her eyes, and on her chin, then after
a few days it would dry down in scaly,
white scabs. In the daytime she was
quite worrysome and would dig and
scratch her face nearly all the time.
Il consulted our physician and found
she was suffering from eczema, which
he said came from her teething. /
used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then I
wrote for book on Cuticura and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. / did as l
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she

Only Eleven Escape From MCCur.

WOMEN WILD WITH GRIEF
Twenty Bodies Recovered From
Workings Where Blast Entombed
116 Miners-Fire HaIts
Work of Rescue.

McCurtain, Okla.-As the result of
an explosion in mine No 2 of the
Sans Bots Coal company here 105
lives were lost and the mine was
wrecked.
OF 116 men who were, in the mine
at the time of the explosion of gas,
which was followed by a fire in the
workings, only eleven are known to
be alive. These escaped from the
mine soon after the blast. OF the
others twenty bodies have been dis
covered. The men missing were en-
tombed behind tons of debris and
could not be reached by rescuers. OF
the entombed men, three were mem
bers of surveying party, headed by
w. d. Roper of McCurtain. Ralph
Kenney, son of Rev. J. A. Kenney of
this city, was one of Roper's com
panions.
A systematic search of the wrecked
mine, begun under the direction OF
government experts, resulted in the re-
covery of four bodies and the finding
of 16 others.
The rescuers had reached the
eleventh level, but their progress was
retarded by mass Of coal, earth, and
twisted timbers.
According to an official statement
from the offices of the Fort Smith and
Western railway company, owners of
the property, about 116 men were
working in the mine at the time of
the explosion. Whether gas or coal
dust caused the blast has not been de-
termined.
Eight of the men who escaped were
at work in the mule stables and made
their way to the surface through the
passage used for the cars.
Most of the day shift of miners were
at work beyond the ninth level. The
few who escaped unhurt were above
the ninth level attending to special
tasks.
An order has been issued forbid
ding any one to approach the mine.
When news of this order spread the
crowds in the vicinity of the mine, al
ready grief stricken, succumbed to
wild manifestations of grief
Here and there were to be seen
groups of aged mothers, kneeling in
the street and praying with tremulous
voices for husbands or sons. Young
wives wept aloud, chung to each other
in despair, some finally to sink ex-
hausted to the street, moaning and
gasping out the names of loved ones.

Badger State for Pork,

That Wisconsin is we'll adapted to
pork production and that swine rails
ing can be made decidedly profitable
branch of farming by Badger state
farmers Is the belief Of L. P. Martiny,
president of the Wisconsin Live Stock
Breeders association, who will be one
of the corps of speakers to accompany
the Live Stock Special" through
southern Wisconsin between March
25 and April g. AS producer of mar
ket topping 'porkers" and as breed
er or breeding stock, Mr. Martiny
has been successful not only in the
southern portion of the state, but in
upper Wisconsin as well. Writing
upon the subject of profitable Pork
Production" in a recent issue of a
leading agricultural journal, Mr.. Mar
tiny pointed out that corn can be
grown in practically any county in
the state, and gave 1t as his opinion
that peas, a crop so easily grown in
many sections of Wisconsin, is en-
titled to rank with corn in the eco
nomic production Of pork.
