The marriage of Miss Elizabeth
Luck of Loganville and August
Pomnarke of Madison took place in
the Reformed church near Prairie du
Sac this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
church was gracefully decorated in
ferns and autumn leaves which lent
an atmosphere of the open to a very
pretty wedding. Miss Moeley of Prai-
rie du Sac presided at the organ and
also sang several solos during the cere-
mony. The bride, attired in white
messaline and shadow lace, entered
with her father, Charles Luck, and
was preceded by her attendants, Miss
es Anna b. Luck and Minnie Rasch-
len, both gowned in white embroidery
and the groomsmen, VIM. Pomnarke
and John Luck. The bride wore a
veil and carried white carnations;
pink flowers of the same kind were
carried by the bridesmaids. A large
reception was held at the home of the
brides parents after the ceremony and
an elaborate dinner served at five
o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Pomnarke will
motor Thursday to Madison where
they will reside and where the groom
is employed in the American Express
office.

DR.. George w. Jenkins, 80, one of
the chief physicisns for the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad and
one of the best known surgeons In the
state, died at his home at Kilbourn
Monday of old age. He had been ill
several weeks.
He is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Miss Kate jenkins.
DR.. Jenkins was born in Duanes-
burg, Schenectady county, N. Y, and
came to Newport, Sank county, Wis I,
in 1851. He made that tow his home
for several years until the railroad
changed his office to Kilbourn.
He had resided in that loca-
lily for nearly fifty years. He was
a graduate of the medical school
of Columbia university in the city of
New York. He was several years
/ president of the Columbia county
Medical Society. He was a promin-
ent member of the American NJ edical
Assn, and the Wisconsin Medical
Assn.
; DR.. Jenkins was a member of Fit
, Winnebago Commandery, K. T, al
Portage, and also of the Wisconsin
consistory.
When the doctor was about to come
west, he joined the late Jonathan
Bowman and several other gentlemen
from Charleston, N. Y. The party on
, arriving in Milwaukee, hired team
and drove to Delton, via Madison.
Portage then, in 1851, was a raw
frontier hamlet. DR.. Jenkins began
practice at Newport village on the
Wisconsin river, at the mouth Of Del
Creek. He remained about ten years
in that ocation, witnessing its
development to town of 1906
, population and its subsequent aban
doment by the removal of mos
, of the buildings to Kilbourn, wher
! THE new railroad, avoiding New
port, crossed the big river at that point
There was no settlement at all on the
present site of Kilbourn when the doc
tor came to Wisconsin. It was part O
, an Indian reservation. In 1863 DR.
, Jenkins, in partnership with DR.. 81
g. Markham, opened drug store il
K1lbourn which he ran until few
years ago.

be getting along as well as could be
expected. Just before dinner he and a
hired boy went out to fix little fence.
When he got the fence fixed he went
into the granary and looked at the
grain and then went down cellar and
looked at the potatoes. This was the
last time they saw him alive. About
80 rods from the house they found
him. He had climbed tree and wound
a rope around the limb and then tied
it around his neck. The limb was a.
bout 20 feet from the ground. The

COMMUNITY RoAD-MAKING

Anything relating to good, practical
road making is of interest to this com
munity at the present time, since we
are likely to be called upon soon to
vote whether the tax payers Of this
county will authorize the issue of a
million dollars in bonds in order to
make good roads throughout the county
boundaries. The Commercial Club. as
we have stated heretofore, has taken
timely and proper steps to secure the
guidance Of an expert from the u. S.
Department of Agriculture in the MAX
ing Of the good roads, (in case the bond
Issue is authoriZed,) which the people
will rightly expect to have as the prop
er result of the bond issue
A number of the States and of diff.
ferent communities in the States have
authorized lavish expenditures, these
amounting TO millions and tens of mil
lions of dollars; but it is not alone in
the issue Of bonds for good road maxim o
that the effort for good roads appears.
A recent instance in quite another di-
rection is reported In northeastern
Michigan, where a road twenty-five
miles long, between Bay City and
Mackinaw, was constructed in a single
day. The road between these two
points had been practically impossible,
and the nuisance Of it became unbear-
able. Accordingly, 5000 business men,
with 1000 teams and $50 automobiles.
turned out to make a new road along
that stretch Of twenty-five miles Thev
were encouraged by the help of $500
women, who turned out and at differ
ent places along the work served free
refreshments as called for. The men
turned out at daylight, and before dark
on the same day they had changed an
impossible old apology for a public
highway into good permanent road.
All who turned out shared in some form
of manual labor, Every one labored
vigorously, and there was also q pood
deal of sociability and hilarity dur.
ing the day The result was, in a single
day good graveled road twenty-five
miles long, we'll raised above the sur
face Of the ground, and rounded off so
as to shed the water, with the top
layer firmly rolled down, had been pre-
pared, and this road it is expected will
last for years.
Nothing Of that kind is possible here,
Of course, but here every one can Ienr
support and Influence to the further
ance of the work, to the end that the
bonds may be voted when called for,
and thar the work shall be done in the
most scientific. expert manner With

YUAN SHI KAI WRITES.

| President Yuan Shi Kai of the Great
Republic of China has written q letter
direct to the leaders of the Chinese ma.
tlon IN the different provinces. The let.
ter is comprehensive in scope and very
| direct IN terms, The great Chinese
leader gives an exhaustive discussion of
the needs of the new Republic, and pre-.
sents fully his ideas as to what ought to
| be done.
Among other things, Yuan Shi Kai
would relieve the congested districts in
| China of their population by trans
| ferrlng large bodies of that population
to the sparsely settled regions Of the
Empire. He lays out plan of vast
projects of irrigation. He urges the or
ganization of an adequate standing
army; favors the extension of railroads,
the organization of schools, the develop
ment of manufacturing enterprises, and
! the complete suppression of the opium
traffic. He says on this latter question:
81 aver to you my belief that it is bet.
ter that a thousand opium users lose
their heads than that a million or ten
million lose their brains and their mus
cles because of its USE
From this latter expression it is evi-
dent that Yuan Shi Kai has no idea of
popular government, and that he ex-
hibits the Indifference to human life
that is characteristic of the oriental. As
proposition of bare fact or effect, he
is probably right. But in popular gov
eminent people do not consider the tax
ing away Of thousand lives with such
cold blooded indifference as this.
At the same time, it is clear that
Yuan Shi Kal understands the Chinese
character and Chinese history and tra-
ditions better than any other man Of
his time; and tits not in the least like
ly that his cold blooded proposition as
quoted will strike the Chinese with the
same degree of horror or aversion that
it strikes the average American or Eu-
ropean.
The great value of the letter as a
whole is in showing the broad minded
ness of Yuan Shi Kai and the thorough
ness with which he would renovate
in itself and thoroughly capable of its
own defense But the means whereby
he would do this are arbitrary, tyranni-
cal, and wholly regardless of the rights
or desires of the individual; all of which
shows that Yuan Shi Kai is not re-
publican at all, or, from our point of
view, fit 10 head republic Of any kind
He is despot pure and simple, and it
is very likely that the kind of govern
ment that be really favors is despotie
government, in which be himself will
be the despot. His relations with the
five powers in the loan agreement are
such that it is probable that his ideas
al to how to govern China will prevail,
If he is not able Of himself to make
them prevail, he will have plenty of
help for his cause from the five powers
