Loses Sight Of Eye

Miss Mabel Erswell has returned from
Milwaukee and reports that her father
is resting comfortably in St. Mary's
hospital. Some days ago while sitting in
the park at Baraboo he noticed that
something was not right with his one
eye. 1t has been found that a blood
vessel had broken and that the sight of
the member is gone. The specialists
hope to save the sight of the other
eye which means that Mr.. Erswell must
remain at the hospital for number of
days. The patient is veteran of the
civil war, student of nature and well
known in the county. His many friends
hope to hear Of his rapid recovery.

ton on Oct. 16, 1841, in the log cabin Of
William Hill near the Draper mill
about mile west of where the court
house is now located The unveiling
Of the tablet was on the anniversary
Of the preaching Of the first sermon.
The Methodist church was organized in
1848 and the slab structure put up two
years after. This was followed by a
frame building which burned some
years ago and the present brick struc-
ture across the street, is the third for
the society.
In the second church school was once
held and o. D. Brandenburg of Madi-
son recalls that Al. Ringing and him
self as we'll as others were pupils in
this school. The site is now owned
by Mr.. Ringing, whose palatial home
is directly opposite. He retains it
merely as an agreeable outlook for his
home.
Rev. W. r. Irish recalls that when
he entered the conference Rev. Fuller
ton was then member. Will am
Little says that Rev. Fullerton had
two sons which he knew well.
Rev. j. H. Whitney of North Free
dom, the Baraboo valley poet and for
mer pastor of the church, was present.

Some Local History.

The address of the afternoon was on
the Significance and Presentation Of
This Tablet" by Superintendent A. c.
Kingsford of the city schools He sad
in part:
cit is to be noted that the first
public building in Baraboo was a
schoolhouse, the next church. This
fact is Of great significance for it show
ed these were the institutions nearest
their hearts. The one was of logs, the
other Of slabs. We would not use
either for wood shed. But as the
first institutions of their kind they are
worthy of being remembered. We are
not commemorating the building of a
building but the founding Of an insti-
tuition which was meant to be an out
POST of the great citadel Of christian
ity. This institution has lived and
grown and multiplied and been the
means OF countless blessings not alone
to those who placed it here
but to their children and their
children's s children. 1t has directly or
indirectly touched thousands Of lives
scattered about all over the world. The
men in building this church builded
better than they knew; and we believe
we cannot too often be reminded Of the
place where it stood and what 1T stood
for.

TIE Dag is Coming
Fast
BY Victor Hugo

A day will come when the
only battle field will be the
market open to commerce and
the mind opening to new ideas.
A day will come when bullets
and bombshells will be replaced
by votes, by the universal suf-
frage Of nations, by the vener-
able arbitration of a great SOW
ereign senate which will be to
Europe what the parliament is
to England, what the diet is to
Germany, what the legislative
assembly is to France. A day
will come when a cannon will
be exhibited in public museums
just as an instrument of torture
is now and people will be as
tonished how sucha a thing could
have been. A day will come
when these two immense
groups, the United States of
America and the United States
of Europe, shall be seen placed
in presence of each other, ex-
tending the hand Of fellowship
across the ocean.

Built of Slabs

"As might be supposed the first church
was not magnificent structure. In
fact it was frequently referred to as
the ''shanty church" | CLEAN the fol-
lowing facts from the church records.
It was 24x36 feet and 10 or II feet high.
The walls were boarded horizontally
inside and out and filled with sawdust
between. The floor and roof were
plain rough boards. The seats were OF
two inch plank with back four inches
high. The door was in the east and a
plain pulpit in the west. The building
was finished and dried out ready for use
in two weeks from first clearing the
snow away. The cost was approx
mately two hundred dollars. The church
itself seems to have been begun IN
1871 by Rev. T. M. Fullerton. The first
Methodist class consisted of three mem
bers; Solomon Schaffer, leader, Ollin
Schaffer and Parmeha Gibson.
Mrs. Valencia Hill was the first con-
vert. 1t was first part of the Muscoda
circuit; later it became a part Of the
Prairie du Sac mission.

been kept. At that time the

Causes q
House Fire

The fire company was called out
Friday afternoon at Reedsburg to ex-
tinguish blaze in the residence of
Mrs. Peter Dangel on North Walnut
street.
The house was badly damaged by
smoke and water. 1t is thought that
the fire started in an upper bedroom
from the stove pipe. The place was
insured.

TEST
GIVEN AUTO
Mitchell light -Four" Passes
Through .BsrsbgO on 1900 Mile
Reliability Tour.

With themselves and their car ccvs
cred with mud, Ray Burnett and FraI k
X Zirbes of Racine and w. J. Hasley
of Pittsburg drove into Baraooo this
morning at 8:15 and stopped for about
an hour at the Lanich garage before
preceding on their remarkable journey.
These gentlemenare making 1900 mile
reliability tour for the Mitchell automo-
bile company of Racine and are driving
a Mitchell light -four on trip that
would test to the limit the endurance
of any car. The auto left Chicago on
September % where, before starting,
the bonnet, or hood was sealed b.
Chief of Police Gleason and is not to be
opened until the jurney is completed.
When the car reached here with 5224
miles of the long journey completed
the seal was still intact.
The $500 mile trip will occupy 80 days,
the car being driven 250 miles day
and on the journey all kinds of roads
are being encountered good roads, bad
roads, mountains, sand, mud, loan,
clay and macadam and the following
states traversed-O Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
New York, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, West
Virginia and Kentucky.
The bonnet on the auto, which is a
regular stock car, that is making this
strenuous trip, is not to be opened un-
til the journey is completed to prove by
actual performance that the car will do
everything claimed for it and that in
doing this it will do anything an owner
can ask of it. From here. the car went
to Milwaukee and the trip will be fin
ished on the evening of October 22 when
it is driven into Pittsburg.
Of the three in the party making the
trip Mr.. Burnett is doing most of the
driving, being relieved at times by Mr..
Hasley of Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania
distributor and Mr. Zirbes, who is con-
nected with the Mitchell factory at Ra-
cine. At times during the long grind
the stipulated $50 miles were completed
during the day, but since the roads have
become 80 muddy, in places almost
for a conveyance Of any
kind, it has been necessary to drive at
night in order to keep up with the
schedule. In speaking Of the condition
of the roads gone over Mr.. Burnett
said that at times the mud caked so be-
tween the wheels and tenders that it
was necessary to get out and kick the
solid mass of dirt from between them.
Between Wonewoc and Elroy some
places were said to be actually impas-
sable, but the car came through much
to the surprise of the natives. Similar
prevailed in Missouri, Ne
braska, Iowa and most of Minnesota, in
some places it being necessary to get
out and build temporary roadways. On
the trip thus far six sets Of chairs have
been worn out and altogether the jour
nev has been a marvellous test for the
Mitchell Light -Four.

COTTON UNSETTLED
DURING ENTIRE DAY
Business More Active Than
for Week Past-May Con-
tracts Break to 11.S3c

New York, February 5.--A heavy
selling movement sent nearly all the
old crop months into new low ground
for the season in today's cotton mar
ket. Business was more active than for
weeks past and the market was ner-
vous and unsettled during the en-
tire day, with the close barely steady
at net decline of IA to % points on
cid crop, and of 10 points on now crop
months. May contracts broke to 11.SSc,
orr points under the low level reached
carly last month.
Offerings were not particularly ag-
gressive at the start. but after opening
steady at a decline of to 6 points

New York and Liverpool
Right after the close of the English
market the selling here became some
what less active and price rallied a
few points from the lowest, but no
important demand developed. and the
market soon became weak and unset
tied. Large offerings of March, com
bined with talk of slackening spot
demand small exports for the day, and
the continued heavy receipts probably
helped to increase the nervousness of
remaining longs. The market broke
sharply and stop loss orders were un-

ANOTHER DROP IN
THE PRICE OF EGGS
Now Quoted at 2S and 30
Cents-Hens Are
Scarce

Eggs experienced another drop of :
cents yesterday and are now quoted at
2S and 80 cents. The demand is little
better than fair and the supply is very
good. Hens are very scarce in the local
market. because, 1t is said, they are
now laying and the poultry farmers are
therefore holding them. The price on
hens is stationary at 10 cents a pound.
Fryers are quoted at 22ia to 25 cents,
and yesterday but one coop was to be
seen on Morris avenue.
. Strawberries are now being received
consistently enough TO warrant being
quoted and the price is % to 35 cents
a quart. The demand, however, is slow
and no good sales are expected for
some weeks yet. Business geenrally in
the produce market is very good. sup
plies are excellent and prices normal.
The fish market is enjoying fair trade
and supplies are in keeping Fancy fish
are in good demand. Spanish mackerel
probably being called for more than
any other species. Prices are stationary
and normal.
