CaImar Pioneer Passes.

Mrs. Martha Borlaug, one of Cal
mars pioneer mothers, passed away
at her home Saturday, after an i'll
ness of three weeks. The de-
ceased was born in Fresvik Sogn,
Norway, Aug. IS, 1925. She was
married to Ellend o. Borlaug, in
1855, at Norway Grove, Dane county
Wisconsin. They settled in the
West in 1860, driving overland
from Madison, Wis, to Coun-
Gil Bluffs. Those days were
trying ones for the pioneers, and
three different times they were driv-
en- out and their property destroyed
by the Indians. Afterwards in 1865
they removed to Calmar and were
among the first pioneers of the
county, where the home has since
been. Three children remain to
mourn the loss of kind and low
ing mother. They are John, Peter
and Mrs. n. P. Foss, of Calmar. One
son, o. E. passed away in DEBORAH
in 1894. She is also survived by a
sister, who is 100 years old, resid-
ing in South Dakota.
The funeral services were held
Monday at Calmar, Rev. Paul Koren

Mexican Climate and Our Soldiers

People who saw the boys" of the
army after their return from Cuba
in1S33 never question the saying
that war is hell" The grisly yellow
pallor of those faces was a picture
that does not die out of the mind.
Cuban malaria killed more soldiers
and involved more pensions than any
Spanish bullets.
In case the var with Mexico is
pushed to the limit, one of the most
important factors is the effect the
climate will have on our forces. Mex
leo is commonly considered tropi-
cal country, Yet most of its terri
tory lies at such high elevations that
this conception is far from correct.
Along the sea coast there is good
deal of malaria. Yet 1t is evident
that the Mexicans are not going TO
conduct much offensive fighting with
in reach of the long arm of our war
ships.
One of the very most important
things to be reckoned with, in fitting
out our men, should they be sent to
Mexico City, is the remarkable ex-
tremes of heat and cold. At noon
on these uplands temperatures of 90
are common. At night the thermo-
meter is very apt to fall to 35. This
rapid alienation is a strain on the
tenderfoot Travellers always speak
of the piercing bitterness of this cold
morning air in a country in which
stoves and furnaces are rare
The poems crawl out of doors at
dawn to catch the first rays OF the
sun, which they call the poor mans
cloak" Uncle Sans boys should
have coats nearly as warm as would
be required for campaigning in the
winter at home.
In the main the Mexican upla1ds
are healtnful and offer few climatic
perils. Some New York business men
have been quitting the sitting heat
of their Northern city in summer,
for the highlands Of these nearly
equatorial lands, with the feeling
that the change is tonic. Certainly
the forces of nature are much less
averse to our soldiers than they were
in Cuba.

better than the majority expected

Fine Vaudeville Attraction Monday.

The Star Theatre had an unusually
good vaudeville attraction, and a
packed house greeted the perfor-
nance. The attraction was young
lady, termed the famous Georgia
Magnet. Her feats of strength were
marvellous But the peculiar part of
il was that muscle didn't seem to
take any part in it. Twelve young
men were on the stage to assist her.
One feature of the act, which proved
interesting and bewildering was the
impossibility of any of the men to
lift her off the floor of the stage.
Try as they might they were unable
to move her feet from the floor. An
other mystifying feature was the
lifting of a pole held down by about
eight young men, with one young
fellow sitting on top of it. The feat
was performed with one hand, and
it was impossible for the boys to
hold the pole to the floor. She per-
formed a number of other just as
wonderful feats, and gave a perfor-
nance that pleased and bewildered
the large audience, and many were
disappointed because the attraction
was only for one night.
