DR.. KELLEY BUYS
ASH STREET HOME
Mr.. and Mrs. F. D. Clark
Dispose of Their Fine Res
idence.

DR.. ID. M. Kelley has purchased
the fine property on Ash street owned
and occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. F. ID.
Clark, the place being familiarly
known as the the Wigwam or Mrs.
Mackey place. Mrs. Clarke has not
been in good health for some
months and it was desired to
sell the house in order to take rooms
at hotel. Mr.. and Mrs. Clark ex-
pect to go to Minneapolis and other
places during the summer. As soon
as the house is vacated DR.. Kelley and
family will move into the property.
The consideration of the deed is $1.OO,
the home of Dr.. Kelley aon Third
street being given as apart pay
ment. There has oeen talk of
the Catholic sisters buying the
place for hospital, but this
was not done and another hospital is
now in the field. The property is one
of the most attractive in town and
always admired by visitors. The
swarded slope, the beautifully trees,
the large grounds and fine house make
it an ideal place in which to live. The
sale was made by e. j. Battles.
The ground was once owned by the
late Henry Moeller, the building now
used as the barn being the residence.
The four lots were purchased by f. L.
Brewster who built the large lbrick
house. During the financial embar-
rassment it was sold to w. A. Warren
and for time NJ. A. Warren lived
there. FL. w. Hamilton and Others
occupied the house until purchased
by Mrs. Mackey, now Mrs. Clark.
Mrs. Clark added commodious por-
ches and made other costly improve
ments during her ownership. The
additions amounted 70 almost it's
former value which was about SO, 900
when owned by Mr.. Warren.
For a number of years 1t was known
as the Wigwam. The nome has been
the scene of many happy social events.

HORACE GREELEY
LETTER A GIFT
Recent Accessions to the
Sauk County Historical
Society.

The following are recent gifts to the
Historical society: .. d. Branden-
berg of Madison, formerly resident
of Barsboo, sends letter written by
Horace Greeley to Joe l.. Benton,
Armenia, N. Y, August 80, 1853. The
letter is note to Mr.. Benton tofvisit
the great editor and the contents are
wholly unimportant. Concerning the
letter Mr. Rrandenberg says. "The
signature cannot but be regarded as of
interest, and anyway, it will illustrate
to the old settlers of Baraboo that in
all the wide world there was someone
who could write worse than Z. CS
Remington, in his day the foremost
lawyer at the bar in Baraboo. This
writing even excels in illegibility
that of the late Judge Keyes of this
city. Joel Benton TO whom the letter
is addressed, died some two years ago
at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. He himself
was quaint literary character who
L
long, but write poetry. Much of it
was beautiful and refined, over q
period of fifty years it found place in
the foremost magazines of the country
He and Greeley were great friends and
in point of years nearly of the same
age. Benton's home was far up in
the Harlem valley, perhaps eighty
miles above New York City, in an ex-
quisitely beautiful region with
babbling brook half encircIing the
house within thirty yards and stately,
glorious trees all about. Doubtless
Greeley not infrequently found rest
there and when Benton died, among
his effects were scores of letters, many
from Greeley among them, and there
were others from, might say, all the
famous American literary characters
of several generations and not few
from r. L. Barnum, another crony Of
his. Mr.. Benton was q cousin of my
wife's father
Attorney and Mrs. A. J Gemmill
gave a copy of the year book of the
First M. E. church, 1901. DR.. E. w.
Mueller was pastor at the time and
some interesting church history is
contained in the volume,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gemmil also gave
program of the opening services when
the new church was built.
Mrs. Mary 9. Tuttle, 524 Center
avenue, GAINESVILLE, Wis, sends an in
vitation to the dedication of the new
M. e. church, dated May 5, 1899. The
dedication was on May 7, 1899. Mrs.
Tuttle also sends an article written by
Rev. J. E. Irish and printed in 1882.
Many names familiar to Baraboo peo-
pie are given, the paper are given, the
paper being upon those who had de-
parted. Among some of those men
toned are Rev. E. P. Springer, Rev.
Christian E. Werlich, G. q. Barnhart,
Lydia Moorehead, AmeliaJ J. Turney,
John w. Kezerta, Elizabeth Baker,
Warren Brown, Julia Anna Booth

A packed house greeted the produc-
ton of"Married in Hasteu stevening
at the Lyceum theatre ard the acting
was without doubt the best seen in
Baraboo for some time. All in the
cast carried their parts well and no
adverse criticism could be offered. The
plot was one of intrigue, passion,
jealousy, love and a Woman's honor,
with a satisfactory elimination.
From the general satisfaction ex-
pressed after the performance il would
seem that the efforts of the Lyceum
management were appreciated In
bringing first class play to Baraboo.

Judge Stevens holds that intoxica-

"The deceased exercised his Will

It was 'wilful misconduct within the
