Mrs. L. D. Stilson has received a
letter from her son, Guy, stating that
he was in the storms that struck st.
Louis and Omaha. They were the
worst of the season and much damage
was done in the vicinity that he
visited.
Mrs. Charles Bohn and daughter,
Miss Eva Bohn, have gone to their
home in Wonewoc after visit at the

Assemblyman George Carpenter is
causing to be circulatd petition to
the Legislature to reduce the income
tax for Ringing Brothers or other
circuses which do large per cent of
the business outside of the state.
When nine tenths or more of business
outside of the state, it is proposed to
exempt the firm from the income tax.
The petition is being literally
signed by the residents of Baraboo.
Preparations are being made to
build spur to the Cahoon mine south
of town. Ever since the work at the
mine began about two years ago the
fuel and material has been hauld by
teams to the mine and there is so
much of this to do that track is
necessary. Besides, the time will
come sooner or later when the ore will
be ready to ship and this cannot be
done without line to the mine. The
ground has been gone over and the
| work of grading and laying the track
will begin soon.
Oscar T.. Gust has resigned his posi-
ton with the Ringing show and has
purchased an interest in the Claus
| Automatic Gas COCK company OF
Milwaukee. The firm has been es-
tabllshed for several years and has
more work than can be done this year
with the present facilities. 1t is pro-
posed to incorporate and enlarge the
plant. Baraboo is being considered
as a possible field to locate the factory
and it may be moved to this city. The
pay roll now embraces about 80 men.
The company controls number OF
patents and the outlook is bright for q
big business. Mr.. Gust is capable
and reliable and will be a valuable
addition to the enterprise. His place
with the circus will be taken by
Joseph Brooks who was in the same
position some years ago.

The river continues to cause isuneasi-
ness although no great damage has
been done. On Sunday the water got
so high at the pumping station that a
portion of the wells were surrounded
by water and the seepage discolored
the liquid to slight degree. 1t is
advised that the citizens drink out OF
a teakettle for a while. City Engineer
French says the water is higher than
he has ever known il to be. In 1905
be placed a mark when the water
came to dangerous point then and
the river has buried the 1905 record by
s inches.
The river due is up to the plank at the
Tucker bridge east of the city of Bar
aboo. This was never known to oc-
cur before.
At the Nc Arthur mill one would
never know there was dam there.
The water is pouring across the high
way south of the bridge and covers the
bleaching and engine rooms. The
mill has closed down.
The owners of the Nc Fetridge mill
were busy all day on Sunday protect
ing the west end of the dam. There
was some seepage and danger of the
structure giving way. To protect the
power plant the water WIS shut out of
the race.
By Sunday night the river fell foot
at Reedsburg.

Milking Machines.
Lightning Rods.

The style of lightning rod that we
carry should interest every farmer.
It is made of copper with brass and
copper screw joints and cannot cor
rode. The rod can easily be taken
apart and is constructed so that 1t is
not affected by the freezing or thaw-
ing of the ground as the rod is made
in sliding sections and will slide up
and down, adjusting itself to the
weather conditions.
Buggies.
We can give you the best price in

ATTENTION
FARMERS l!

am in better position than ever
to serve the public and can supply you
with the best there is in any of the
lines of farm implements and other
articles that L carry.
Cream SeparatOrs.
Come in and see the Simplex Cream
Separator at work. II is considered
the best made separator; there is no
point bearing to wear out and all bowl
and spindle trouble is done away
with. The Simplex is guaranteed for
LIFE. One of them has been running
continuously at the factory for 10
months and shows no sign OF wear.
We also have an automatic cream sep
arator that is a wonder; it is geerIess
and crankless and works auromatical-
~ and is therefore a great labor saver.
Milking Machines.
We have the only practical milking
machine in the world, the Burrell-
Internationally Mixer. Is is
boon to the dairyman and means re-
lief from the aIl-the-year-round drudg-
cry of hand milking. The saving of
time makes the farmer almost inde-
pendent of hired help. The BurrelI
mixer does not merely draw some of
the milk, but it will secure the maxi
mum yearly yield of milk obtainable.
This mixer outfit is simple and easily
understood.
