Former BarabOO Resident
Has Attractive Place Near

mer resort within easy WalKlng uls
tancelof the city.
The most interesting thing about the
place is the artificial lake. North OF
the hill on which the house stands is a
large piece of low ground which has
never been of much use. Mrs. Taylor
conceived the idea of flooding it and
making a lake. 1t was found that
water was within two feet of the sur
face of the ground but it would not be
coaxed to flow out, so well was
drilled and from this water is being
pumped into the lake. The 120 feet of
water in the well will no doubt supply
the lake for years to come. The pump
is run by gasoline engine and sever
al feet of water show where Lake Illi-
nois will soon be an established fact.
The low side of the lake bed is pro-
tected by high wall of cement. Fresh
water will be pumped into the lake all
the time, the overflow pipes so arrang-
ed that the water will always be fresh.
/ Bath houses have been built on the
north side of the lake. Later boats
will be put on and next year the lake
will be stocked with fish.
/ The old buildings have heen improved
or torn away, the granery becoming an
ice cream grotto.

COMPENSATION FOR
HUSBAND KILLED

Mrs. William Voeck of North Free
dom will ask for compensation for the
life of her husband who was killed at
West Salem some weeks ago. It will
be recalled that an officer of that village
had Walter Jones under arrest and dur
ing this time Mr.. Voeck was killed.
Jones is now in Jail at Lacrosse await
ing trial for the murder. 1t is stated that
Mr.. Voeck had been asked to serve as a
deputy by the village marshal and on
that ground compensation will be asked.
Whether or not the claim should he
made to the village, county or state is
a law point to be decided. This is an
interesting feature of the case for the
question has not before arisen, is the
belief of attorneys. The former home
of William Voeck was at North Free
dom.

He Makes Announcements
AT Madison This
Afternoon.
STATES HIS PLATFORM
Later He Will Amplifiy and
Present Other Subjects
For Discussion.

This afternoon at Madison Governor
McGovern announced that he would be-
a candidate for United States senator.
He makes three statements as grounds
for his candidacy:
/. His official record as prosecuting
attorney in Milwaukee.
2. His advocacy of the downward re-
vision of the tariff and at the same
time maintaining a protective tariff.
3. He favors reorganization of the
present methods of distribution of farm
products. He would seek to increase
prosperity on the farm in order to re-
duce the cost of living and to eliminate
the trust abuses.
Proper regulation of markets 80 as to
transfer control of them from the
hands of unconscionable spectators to
the people themselves will go a long
way toward just and satisfactory
solution By this mean the price of
farm products may be increased, the
c ,st of living reduced and the business
of the retail dealer improved. The
problem is the same in state and ma

Ward Munroe

Across wide stretches of plains and
mountains comes the sad news that
another good friend has passed from
earthly scenes and brings with it the
distressing thought that the dear ones
he has known so long must forever be
deprived of his presence.
| The knowledge that death is the COM
mon lot lessons but little the sorrow
that ,Overwhelms us when dear
one passes through the universe
tragedy and takes his place among those
who have gained immortality.
Whatever may be the state of happi~
ness of those who in advance have
crossed the river and solved the great
est of mysteries, their passing leaves
naught but pain and anguish for those
to whom they were bound by the sweet
| est and most sacred ties known to
mortal existence.
The well known step, the cheerful
glance, the gentle voice, the quite
laughter have become but memories
and no longer greet our expectant
senses.
Z Gone is this kind and thoughtful hus-
band, ready at all times to make per-
sonal sacrifice for his lifelong COM
panion; this tender and indulgent father
bestowing upon the daughters wealth
of affection; this devoted son, idolized
| by an aged mother; this just ard
generous neighbor, without an enemy
among those who saw him at close
range, living his life from day to day
and from year to year; this discerning
citizen who stood always on the right
side of every public question.
These attributes are what made
Ward Munroe respected in his commun-
ity and made of his de ath public loss,
causing him to be mourned by all who
knew and understood his strong and re
liable character.
The writer of this appreciation en-
joyed an intimate acquaintance with Mr..
Munroe, for many years, lived at one
time in his home and later near him as
neighbor, observing him constantly
as citizen.
His kind nature, his loyalty to home
ties, his firm adherence to his friends,
his charity toward those in public and
and private life whose practices did not
square with his own high ideas and
standards aroused for him a high re-
gard and made possible this personal
tribute.
Ward Munroe, in an unassuming way,
filed an enviable place in life and leaves
behind him heritage of moral in
tegrity worthy the emulation of his
fellow men.

show no hesitation in turning down their

as much moment to- a woman as getting
a husband would be.
Neither does my correspondents con-
tention that it would scare away a pos
sible husband for woman to propose to
him square with experience or observa-
ton. We are all vain. men and women
alike. Nothing convinces us OF the SUI
perior intelligence, justice and discrim-

her to single us out of a crowd for spe-
cial admiration. Nothing draws us to
an individual so irresistibly as his or her
fancy for us, and we just naturally love
those who love us.
a man would have to be more than
human If he was not pleased and flattered
by the knowledge that a woman loved
him and had picked him out from all the
rest Of mankind for her mate Also il

know what they want in husband, so it
