The secretary end a number
of others are deserving of tardy
marks as they did not arrive
until a few minutes before II
O'Clock. A short time was
spent in socialchat and prompt
ly at noon the hostess invited
us to partake of most excel

Al 9 p. m. the club was called
to order and the meeting opened

Mrs. Whiteman "The FIRST OF a

were interesting and brought
out many good ideas Next in
order came the discussion OF the
questions.
1st. How could we reform
the world by set of laws that
would make a healthy race.
morally and mentally superior
to any so far known?
The question Of reforming tine
wo. Id oy a set OF laws was ans
wered by saying to work re-
form must not only be enacted,
but enforced by those who are
thoroug! ly in sympathy with
them. Some laws that would
yend to elevate the race, would
be laws to eliminate the liquor
traffic, the white slave trade,
the divorce evil. etc. Right
home education would llso
G: eatly aid in the eliminat ON
of wrong and this with good
laws, not always new, to be
enforced and supported by the
best people will assist greatly
the good work. We think
the time has arrived, and the
people are about ready to pro
lnulgate the much needed re-
form.
2nd Would it be wise for
this club to employ a landscape
artist to lay out the farm homes
OF its members, especially t':os e
along or near the Lincoln High
way?
This was decided by mainr-
ity of the members. especially
the ladies, That it would be
wise for every farmer, even
though he were not situate !,
along he Lincoln Highway, to
employ landscape artist To-
lay out his farm home.

CITY MAY CLASH
WITH TELEPHONE CO
Dispute Over Contract to
Furnish Free Phones
Comes Up.
City Attorney States That
Case May Go Before
Supreme Court.

Recently dispute arose between the
city of Baraboo and the Wisconsin
Telephone company, the outcome of
which will be interesting. The history
of the conflict is as follows:
In 1896 company of local men organ
lied the Baraboo Telephone company.
They continued under this name until
1909. In 1903 the Baraboo Telephone
company sought additional rights under
their franchise, and in exchange for
these rights they contracted to furnish,
it is said, six telephones to the city for
period of fifteen years These six
free phones were installed according to
the agreement as follows; one in the
city hall, one in public lilrary
and one in each of the four
public school buildings 1t is claimed
that among other things the telephone
company agreed that this agreement
should extend to it's success sor.
In 1907 the state passed the public
utilities law declaring all franchises
void, and providing that telephone com
panies as well as other companies
should charge the same rate to all per-
sons, and in case utility failed to
charge the same rate they were liable
to penalty.
Soon after this, it is said, the Baraboo
Telephone company presented claims
for these free phones, saying they had no
right to grant free service. Following
this episode the city Of Superior had
case similar to the one in Baraboo in
which the supreme court held that by
connecting with city buildings in man
ner similar to the situation here, that
such conduct constituted valid con-
tract. The Baraboo Telephone company
dropped claims in 1909.
About this time the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company bought the Baraboo
Telephone company and continued
service without claim until last No
vember when the new system had been
installed and rates increased. The
company now according to communi~
cations on file with the city clerk
claim that originII franchise is void and
base their claim on recent conflict
in Kenosha in which the su-
preme court held franchises granted
without consideration to be abrogated
by the utility law.
In view of this decision the situation
is somewhat conflicting and it may be
necessary to take the case to the
courts of last resort before the rights
of the parties are decided.
On election day the telephone COM
pany removed the phone from the po~'
lice office at the city hall,

Los) Cost Of
LiOing O6en

The Galesville Republican republish-
es several items from the Galesville
Independent of 1873, which make de-
cidedly interesting reading in these
modern times, particularly those re
garding the prices for farm products.
The market quotations for that week
were-oats, 20 cents; wheat, rs to rs
cents; corn, 20 cents; butter 10 cents;
bran, SIS to Sc per ton. Hogs were sell
ing at So. Is per hundred pounds. One
item told of man selling two cows
and a steer for $25. It was not much
wonder that times were hard in Wis
consin with such prices for farm pro-
duce, and looking backwards IS years
and comparing prices and conditions of
today with those of that period, it IS
almost impossible to believe that We
are living in the same country. The
'high cost of living" did not bother
people then The main question was
how to get the price of the low cost
of living

Second Ward Alderman
Attends Last Meeting
Thursday Night.
HAS SERVED TWELVE YEARS
Always Taken an Ac-
tive Interest in Affairs
Of City.

After twelve years of faithful SER
vice to the city, Alderman L. M. Jacobs
retired last night from the city council.
Mr. Jacobs was elected to the office of
alderman Of the Second ward in the
year 1902 and was reelected three times.
He has been foremost in attending to
the administration of the city affairs,
having been president of the council
for seven years Mr.. Jacobs is respon-
sible for many of BaraboO's most effec-
tive ordinances. He introduced the
transient merchant ordinance which
was passed several years ago. This
made it necessary for merchants not
intending to become permanent bust
ness men in Baraboo to secure license
from the city. Mr. Jacobs introduced
the we'll known vehicle ordinance which
went into effect about two years ago.
Perhaps his greatest saving to the city
was when he proposed the purchasing
of the stone quarry west of the city.
This was about five years ago and at
that time the city was paying annual
ly $3.50 for the use of the quarry. The
owner of the quarry had contemplated
raising the rent to $3.50 when Mr..
Jacobs recommended that the city in
vestigate the proposition of buying the
quarry. The five acres containing the
quarry were secured by the city for
$500.
During the long illness of the late
Mayor Bender, Mr.. Jacobs presided
over the meetings of the council
At the recent. election Mr.. Jacobs,
although urged by his friends to run
for reelection, declined to become a can
didate. 1t is needless to say that his
wise counsel will be missed by the city.

For while Elroy was stirred from

the project began to fear that reno
walton of the old structure was the
best to be hoped for. 1t was a ground
less fear. The railroad commission has
informed Mr.. Frederick of Kendall

it's original order for a new building

PLAINTIFF WINS IN
BREACH Of PROMISE
Unusual Case Decided
Against Saloonkeeper
by Judge Higbee.

At Sparta one of the most unusual
breach of promise cases ever tried in
that vicinity ended when the case of
Mrs Martha Falkner against R. A.
Schultz, Tomah saloonkeeper, was
decided in favor of the plaintiff Mrs.
Falkner will get heart balm amount
ing to 81, 10000. The woman, who is
twice widow, her first husband dying
and having secured a divorce from the
second, is about 45 years of age, about
the same as Schultz.
Mrs. Falkner had been his house
keeper for some time and claimed that,
coming from the cemetery after
Schultz s wife had been buried, the first
proposal of marriage was made. At
that time she refused to consider it.
She became his housekeeper, however.
She charged further that ne sent her
on visit and while she was away was
married to woman from Columbus,
Wis.
The case was heard before Judge
Higbee Monday.
