DIES AFTER
HAPPY JOKE
PASSES LIPS
David Baker, Who Also
Wanted to See Days Ball
Game; Victim of Heart
Attack
HAD SUFFERED
FROM INDIGESTION

Just after opening the safe at his
place OF employment, the Atlantic
Manufacturing Company, at the
northwest corner OF Third and Or
ange streets, at 7 o'clock this morn
ing, David Baker boolzkeeper for the
concern, fell dead. The only other
person in the office at the time was
Frank Conner, an employe in the me-
chanical department of the com
pany. He ran to Mr. Bakers side
and lifting his head asked him If he
was ill., The stricken man made no
response. DR.. Owen G. Spear pro-
nounced the man dead. Coroner John
n. Spring was then notified. The
body was taken in charge by Under
taker George M. Fisher.
Mr.. Baker was an early riser. and
usually appeared at his place of em-
pIoyment at about quarter to
O'Clock. This morning he made some
remark to Mr.. Conner about the ball
game between York and Wilmington
yesterday, and said he hoped to see
the game this afternoon. He then
opened the safe and threw batch OF
order slips over to his fellow en-
sloye. 1t the same time making a
ioking remark. These we're his last
words. without a further sound he
collapsed.
Until three years ago Mr.. Baker
was employed by the Booker, Scott
and Moore Company, and Travelled ex-
tensively for the firm. Since he left
that concern, he had been with the
Atlantic Manufacturing Company. He
complained of nervous indigestion, but
no one thought his health was seri-
ously impaired, and his death came
US a shock to his numerous acquaint-
ences.
He was much interested in church
work. and was an active member Of
Tpworth M. r. Church. He was treas
urer Of the Board Of Trustees of that
congregation, and chorister of the
Sunday school, and one of the tenor
eoloists OF the choir, having a partic-
ularly fine tenor voice. He was pres
ent at choir rehearsal last evening
and seemed to be in good health
He had a large class Of young men
in the Sunday school
Mr.. Baker was about 40 years oi
age. and lived with his family at No
21O3 West Sixth street, from where
the funeral viii take place. He iE
survived by his widow and two chill
dren, Frank Baker and Miss Edith
Baker The son was at the office
where his father was employed short
ly after the news Of his sudden death
was received, and made the neces'
sary arrangements 10 remove the
body.
It is thought that MFR. Bakers death
was due to his heart becoming af-
fected as a result OF the attack Of
nervous indigestion.
Epworth choir, which last night re
hearsed the special programe for the
Tamina Day services of Red Men al
Epworth Church tomorrow afternoon
will not sing because Of Mr.. Bakers
death. West Presbyterian choir will
take its place at the service.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

While the business men Of Mineral
Point made their recent trip in the in
terests of the city and the fair, they
will themselves be greatly benefited by
it if they were duly impressed with the
wonderful productiveness of the country
through which they passed and the
necessity Of keeping abreast Of the
times in matters pertaining to a peo
pies advancement.
The excursionists journeyed through
five counties, namely: Lafayette, Green,
Rock, Dane, and Iowa. These are
among the earlier settled counties of
Wisconsin, but the greater portion OF
the soil is more productive than it was
fifty years ago. The grain in stacks,
the hay in sheds and great ricks, and
the fine stand of corn all along the
route prove the statement to be true.
Everywhere on the route there were
evidences of progress and general pros
perity, extending to farm home, to vii
lage, and to city. Monroe, which is
situated in county where land sells
from $3.50 to $3.50 per acre,--is making
extensive street improvements, and aid.
ing in the construction Of roads lead
ing into the city. The people Of Green
county are aroused to the importance
of having better roads, as are also the
people of Lafayette, Rock, and Dane.
The people Of nearly all Of the
towns in these counties awaited them
selves of the benefits of the state good
roads law and have voted liberal sums
for road improvement and bridge build
ing in their respective towns. 1t is
surely to be regretted that Iowa county,
although very prosperous, is not so
progressive as are the other counties in
the matter Of road improvement, as
reader means OF transportation will
not only afford greater comfort and
convenience to the people in general,
but will make the county more pros
Porous and enhance the value of farm
village, and city property.
The bountiful crops throughout this
section Of the country this year is cause
for rejoicing. 1t was. indeed, pleasing
to view the sights presented, in field
and garden. all along the line.
At every stop on the route, the excur-
sionists were cordially welcomed. They
were about one hundred seventy five
strong, and demonstrated what can be
done by united effort in making good
showing for town. They will well
come to Mineral Point at fair time, or
any time thereafter, the many people
whom they met on the journey.
