KEYES ATOM HOST
At LARGE PARTY

Reyes Atom was nine years old on
Monday and had asked to entertain
six Of his little friends at supper. On
arriving home from school last even
log, Reyes was not surprised to find
the six but began to wonder when sew
eral more came strolling in. Others
followed, and when the members of
the third grade of which the hest is
an enthusiastic member and the
teacher, Miss Varnell, entered, it took
no more than the delighted cries of
the children to tell him that he was
surprised. The children spent an
hour in playing games under the d.
rection Of Miss Varnell but could not
refrain from an occasional peep into
the dining room, veritable wonder
land. The room In itself, an unusual
~ large and attraetive one, has nine
large windows and last evening Con-
tanned three tables. Red streamsrs
were festooned from the chandeliers to
the corners of the tables where silver
and .chinsreiected the CLEAN of the
lighted candles and snowy napery.
Flowers in generous proportions were
also part of the decorative scheme.
At five the happy company, led by
their host, marched to the dining
room to the strains of lively music and
found their places about the tables.
Mrs. Atom, assisted by Misses Med
bury, Meisner and Mrs. Fred Crouch
served delicious ices and cakes before
which the assembled company sang
"Americs" with spirit. A rousing
cheer greeted MI. Atom when he Gu
tered the room and later returned
the happy children to their homes,
via automobile. The guests left many
mementoes for Reyes, who Will have
more than one reason to remember
his ninth birshd ay.

before the legislative vice commission
at Lacrosse Jan. Z. He declared every
common council in twenty-five years
has been dominated by the breweries,

BUNDLE Of ERRORS
On PART Of CITY

On Friday night the county board
OF supervisors spent the evening In
listening to an unusual string of errors
made by the city of Baraboo In con-
nection with property owned by At
torney F. r. Bentley and his brother,
L. q. Bentley, of Alderman. Some
time In the past the city decided that
cement sidewalk should be built In
front Of the property owned by the
brothers and published an ordinance
that it be done. There was an error in
the ordinance, the walk to be built on
the east side of the property was ad-
vertised for the rear of the land. At
torney Bentley appeared and said that
he had notified the council, that the
ordinance would not hold that he had
seen Mayor Thuerer, Alderman Issn-
berg and others but no attention was
paid to what he said. The walk was
built and was taxed with the property
and then he obtained permission from
the council to pay the land tax and
let the sidewalk tax stand. This was
done.
He complained bitterly that the city
had gone to the outskirts and built
walks where not needed and that he
was at the hearing, not to evade the
tax, but for principle.
AT the close of Mr.. Bentley's explain
nation, Attorney V. Ii. !Cady for the
city brought affidavits from Messrs.
Thuerer, Isenberg and himself to show
that Mr.. Bentley was in error as to
telling them and cited cases and de-
cisions showing that clerical error of
this kind made DO difference.
City Gets a Jolt.
Then Mr.. Bentley arose and ex.
planned that the city council had per-
mitted himself and brother to pay the
land tax and that the receipts were in
evidence. This was news to the
opposition. He also said that the city
should have returned the gland sax to
the county as one item and the special
tax as another item This had not
been done and was another error. He
further said that since he had paid the
real estate tax the return to the county
and sale by the county was void.
County Clerk Wood and others up
hsld him in the contention. IF a tax
sale is void it is void, it cannot be part
ly so.
This argument on the part of Bent
ley Brothers., showing such a
string of mistakes on the part of the
city from start to finish, was too
much and the county board by a vote
OF 30 to voted to remit the taxes to
Mr.. Halsted who hEd purchased the
certificate at the annual sale. The
amount is $3.50 and will be charged
back to the city. Ii is now for the
council TO get compensation from
Bentley Brothers for the construction
of the walk.
