To The Editor:
The legislators of Wisconsin have
enacted many good laws intended to re-
gulate the liquor business in such a
manner as to some extent protect weak
humanity from being utterly ruined by
that which is the cause of three fourths
of the crimes committed, which des-
troys homes, and builds up large for
tunes for those engaged in the business.
These laws for the most part are a dead
letter.
This community is to be congratula-
ted that District Attorney J. 81. Hill
and Judge andre have taken up the
matter and propc ,e to put habitual
drunkards out of the reach of tempta-
ton. We sincerely hope they will continue
the good work and go farther and en-
force the law forbidding the providing
Of liquor to minors and men already un
der the influence ofliquor.

The Northwestern railroad company
will have left little as a reminder of
Kendall's pslmy railroad days when the
crews at work here now under the d.
rection of Foreman Val. Reinhart of
Baraboo shall have completed the tasks
in which they are engaged.
A force of men ia now at work tear
ing down the coal chute. After that
has been accomplished the water tank
will be taken down. Then there will
only remain the remnant of the round
house, which will be left probably for
the reason that it is not worth taking
down. The statement that this build
ing was sold to town parties sometime
ago was, as Mark Twain once said re-
garding report of his death, somewhat
exaggerated-or perhaps rather joke.
The coal chute is not to be erected
elsewhere. The timber will be taken
to Baraboo and stored for such uses as
the company may find for it
from time to time. The Key
stone has not learned what is to be
done with the water tank.
1t is about eight years ago that it
was brought here from Fond du Lac.
That was before the railroad company
had thought of building the new line to
the north to obviate the hill drags be-
here and Sparta It's removal nowis of
no particular consequence to the viii
lage 1t has been out of commission
since the new line was opened. There
were no longer any remaining windows
at which the Kendall youth could direct
his missiles, and it assuredly was not
a thing of beauty. Indeed, it is ques-
tion if it had not been an eyesore to
many And so the parting will no
create any poignancy of regret. Ken

Although Wisconsin, representation
n the livestock division at the Panama
Pacific exposition was restricted much
by recent ruling, some awards have
been captured by Badger stockmen.
In the Clydesdale classes j. S. Van
Eta, GAINESVILLE, won sixth, a fourth,
six thirds, five seconds, three firsts and
one grand championship. His stallion,
Charter Oak, which had appeared at
the Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin
fairs, was accorded the premier honors.
The Baraboo Motor Car company has
received another carload of Studebak-
ers, the fourth load since taking the
agency this fall Judge W. T. Kelsey
has purchased a six cylinder 80 horse
power seven passenger car and Gus
Reineke will spin around in a three
passenger fifty horse power Studebaker
runabout just purchased from the
above company.
