For this eventful occasion, to tax,
place n4xt Tuesday evening, Feb. 9
the managers have been fortunate in
securing strong New York company
managed by William Harris, DR.,
heralded as the youngest and among
the strongest theatrical prc9ncing
managers in the country. The COM
pany viii present the comedy-drama
entitled 1.-The Misleading Lady.
The feature player will be Paul
Dicky one of the authors of this hila-
rious comedy. Mr.. Dickey's leading
woman during this engagement will be
Miss Francine Larrimore, whose uncle,
Jacob Adler, is the most celebrated
Yiddish actor in the United States.
His theater on Grand street in New
York city has become national insti-
tuition.
Supporting Mr.. Dicky is the original
New York company. Frank Sylvester
is playing his original part, for which
he has become celebrated the part of
Boney, the harmless lunstic who thinks
he is Napoleon. A funnler and more
extraordinary part was never written.
Few people could play it as well as Mr..
Sylvester does. Albert Sackett, the
father of Julia Anderson, fine actor,
not yet famous, win play two parts.
and it Is doubtful if an audience can
detect the fact that one actor is play
ing both. Mr.. Sackett is master
of the art of theatrical makeup. Wal
ter Regain, a Milwaukee boy, his re-
markable role, and plays it extremely
well. Miss Daisy Adamy, Miss Grace
Barbour, Miss Allison Skinner, Miss
Alice Wilson, Henry Stockbridge,
George Abbott, Frederick Valance
and Thomas F. Tracey are also in the
cast.

An Old Fashioned Winter.

Our ''oldest inhabitants, and there
are many Of them, are heard to say
these days that this is an old fashioned
winter. What is meant by this is lots
of zero weather, abundance of snow,
sudden changes bringing rains, thence
back to zero again in twenty -four hours
or less. Take the last week for ex-
ample. Thursday morning, Coolest of
the winter it was 28 below zero.
Saturday and Sunday we had rain.
With Monday came the heaviest and
widest snow storm OF the winter.
Telephone and telegraph wires were
put out of commission to some extent,
all railway trains were hours behind
schedule time, and highways were
blocked more or less. On Monday the
only incoming train was the regular
2:l0 on the st. Paul, which came in
about 5 o'clock; Tuesday afternoon the
1:20 was the only train to leave for the
day The reasonable weather which
has prevailed since has made it posi-.
bic to pretty well overcome the diff.
culties, and now conditions are near
normal.
Railroad hands have had hard time
and there has been some suffering
among stock. About a mile north O.
Monroe an Illinois Central engine run
off the track, turned over, caught tn
engineer, William Cahill, underneath
and killed him almost instantly. Tn
fireman saved himself by jumping int
a snowdrift. Seventy-fve or more pas
sengers were on the train but escape
withou the least injury. This happene
during the day, Monday.

JOHN CALVIN BAXTER NO MORE.
The Suddeness of His Death an Awful
Shock - Bereaved Ones Crushed with
the Mantle of Grief.

John Calvin Baxter, who had lived all
his life in the Willow Springs farming
section, about FIVE miles southeast of
Mineral Point, was in this city last Fri
day, Jan. %, shopping and chatting in
his genial and intelligent way, his hon
esty and frankness never permitting
him to be any other. AS was his GUS
tom, he departed for home early, to get
there in time to help do the chores.
This he was engaged at about six
o'clack that evening, when his son Guy,
who was helping, steppe@ out of the
barn for some purpose, and returned in
very few moments to find his father
lying dead at the head of calf stall.
There was bruise or scar visible on
his face, evidence of his having struck
AGAINST something when falling. Nat
uraiiY the news spread rapidly and it
not only served to shock but created
greet sorrow for many miles around.
Mr.. Baxter was born Jan. 5, lS49, in
Willow Springs, and at the time of his
death was 66 years and "a days of age.
He was married to Miss Jane Noble of
that settlement Dec "a, 1874. To
them were born two sors Guy and
Ernfs who with their mother survive.
Their loss is unreasonable. With the
exception of one year spent in Nevada,
Mr.. Baxter lived in Willow Springs all
his life. At the age of II he became
member of the Christian Church and
was ever active in its interests until its
dissolution, when he affiliated with the
Primitive Methodist society. He en-
deavsred and succeeded in living an
homo able and Christian life. Of this

master, who must be a man of clear
lie and interested in boy life.
Here is a field for some of the mer

sble dividends upon the time and energy
expended
The plan of the boy scout movement
is to have all the boys of the city en-
listed and to have as many Scout Mast
ers as there may be troor- and then to
have one Scout Commiss, nCr, who shall
be over all and unity the whole into one
large company.
The interest of fathers of boys is
sought in forming the necessary coun-
ell for the management of scout activ-
tiles.
A meeting Of the men interested will
be held Friday evening at the Iowa
County Bank at 1880. At this meeting
the movement will be more fully ex-
planned. 1t is held for all men OF every
church and no church, who want TO see
the work for boys succeed

every other scout.
5. A scout is courteous.

en-, children, old people and the weak

6. A scout is kind.

not kill nor hurt any living creature
needIesaly, but will strive 10 protect all

z. A scout is obedient.

worthy objects. He may work for pay
but must not receive tips for eourtesies
or good turns.
10. A scout is brave
He has the courage to face danger in
spite of fear, standing up for the right
against the coaxing of friends or the
jeers or threats of enemies; defeat does
not down him.
IL. A scout is clean.
He keeps clean in body snd thought:
he stanos for clean speech, clean sport,
clean habits; and he travels with clean
crowd.
II. A scout is reverent.
He is reyerent toward God. He is
faithful in his religious duties. and re-
spects the convictions Of others in mat
tiers Of custom and religion.
The Scouts Religion.
The Boy Scouts of America maintain
that no boy can grow into the best kind
of citizenship without recognizing his
obligation to God The first part of
the scouts oath or pledge is therefore;

The recognition of God as the ruling
and leading power in the universe. and
me grateful acknowledgment Of His
fayors and blessings is necessary to the

growing boy.

SHOWED INSTINCT OF SWANS
Birds Had Learned the Trick of Ring
ing a Bell to Get Their Supply
of Food.

During a recent visit to the cathed,
raj city of Wells, in Somersetshire, a
Scotsman correspondent was witness
of a curious incident. The Episcopal
palace is surrounded, just as in olden
times, by a wall and q moat, the haunt
of swans, ducks. and other aquatic
birds. The moat is crossed at the en-.
trance to the palace grounds by a
drawbridge with a battlemented gate
way with towers, in one of which is
the ~gatekeeper's lodge. From a
bracket fixed in the wall of one OF
these towers overlooking the moat a
bell is suspended, with "a cord at.
tached. .
One afternoon about five o'clock,
while watching the movements of the
various birds in the water, the CORE.
%spondent heard the ringing OF n bell,
and, on looking to see whence the
sound came, he observed that one OF
the van was vigorously pulling the
cord evidently to attract attention. AS
no immediate notice was taken of its
, 1915-06-03

efforts, the impatient bird continued
to ring the bell violently until thsre
appeared at the window of the tower
the wife of the gatekeeper, who threw
out a quantity of food to the expectant
waterfowl.
On making inquiries as to the origin
OF this interesting episode, the core,
spondent was told that a number of
years g a daughter of the bishop of
Wells, being much interested in the
birds ~inhabiting the moat, taught the
swans to ring the bell at feeding-time,
at hve o'clock in the afternoon. This
practice has been continued by success.

present day, and 1t would seem, there.

their offspring the knowledge that
when the cord was pulled the bell
would ring and that food would follow.

Worth Knowing.

Suppose a man leaves New York AT
noon on a given date and travels west
ward at such a rate of speed that the
sun will always be directly overhead.
After making a circle of the globe he
will reach the starting point in New
York just "a hours after he left 1t.
The question presenting itself is, at
which one OF his different stopping
places while making the circuit of
the globe in "a hours. carrying noon
with him to every station, was he
first informed that it was noon of the
following day. AS he crossed the me-
ridian of $50 degrees east, or west, of
Greenwich the day would change. His
rirst stop after crossing the meridian
would be Yokohama, perhaps; there
he would learn that 1t was the next
day.
