CIRCUS WAR GROWS
HOTTER AND HOTTER

:" Tis a fine season, don't think, fer
to be burning up money" Mr.. Dooley
would say, if he was in Detroit right
now.
According to the Billboard the prin-
tiers and bill posters are struggling brave
ly and endeavoring to bear up under
its devastation and horror and it all
came about like this:
The original dates laid down by
Barnum & Bailey for the town were
May 31June l. Hagenbeck- Wallace
had arranged to follow on Saturday,
June s. These two shows would have
made the town in peace and amity but
the advance agent for the 1O1 Ranch
shows arranged to show in Detroit May
% and 90
Major General r. NJ Harvey, of the
Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows, promptly
got peeved and moved his dates up to
May 81 and June l. Then the fat was
in the fire. What" roared the COM
mander in chief of the Barnum & Bal
ley forces in stentorian tones of mingl-
ed rage and surprise mobilize the re
serves" And en-freworkal For
ced marches were ordered, seven towns
taken up and by triple run Barnum
& Bailey were enabled to make tt e
Park City May "A and Is. This str, {
tegy-a smashing blow provoked re-
prisals.
The 101 Ranch-Jess Willard combina-
ton promptly changed its route and
carried the war into Michigan, where,
according to present plans, they beat
their big adversary into Flint, Lansing,
Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle
Greek and other big stands.
1t would seem that inasmuch as Bar
mum & Bailey needs must play their
Ohio time, that ArIingtons cohorts
have them on the hip--at least for
season. But the end is not yet and
meanwhile Detroit continues to be the
storm center, There they are, leading
their field pieces with lydite, wadding
them with bills and using gold coin in
lieu of shrapnel.
And all because each show must be
taught never again to look askance at
the other.
They all do it, school boys, shows,
sects and nations, and no matter how
they come off they always emerge, each
patting itself on the back, exalted in
spirit and thoroughly satisfied that they
have performed a sacred duty.

Wednesday

The former residence of the late Mrs.
r. G. Andrews located at the corner of
Oak and Sixth streets has been pur-
chased by Mrs. Nettie Struthers of
Chicago. Mr.. and Mrs. Struthers for
merly lived in BarabOo and were in the
fruit business here, leaving about fifteen
years ago. Mrs. Struthers now holds
a responsible position with Marshall
Field and Company and her husband,
Bruce Struthers, is travelling sales
man. The property adjoins the home
of Mrs. Charles H. Davis on Sixth
street, mother of Mr.. Struthers. 1t is
not thought probable that the new
owners will occupy the premises, at
least for time.
Has he gone away and left them?
That is the question that cOnfronts a
resident of the First ward who received
a letter Tuesday from her husband
stating that he had gone for good and
that she need not look for him to come
back.
The alleged wife deserter, who is
well along in years, was united in mar
riage year or two ago to a woman
much younger than himself and there
is child by this marriage in addition
to three other children by former
marriage of the wife's.
The husband left some days ago os-
tensibly to obtain work and is believed
to be still in the county. The receipt
of bis letter caused considerable au-
guish.
The Adventist people Withhold
camp me citing at Baraboo, June Is to
81. They are planning a good meet
ing and have arranged for speaker
evenings.
Mrs. Marion Lewis of this'city has re-
ceived copy of newspaper from the
far west which contains some interest
i & cattle advertisements. 1t appears
tina from the vast herds roaming over
the western prairies certain cattle be-
come separated and their ownership be-
comes doubtful These, from time to
time as they are gathered in, are adyer-
tised in the paper and sold and the in
teresting part of the advertisement is
that eachsparticular brandmark on the
steer is yividlyssportrayedland accompa-
MED by description and the price re-
ceived. This enables the owner to trace
his lost animals and recover it's value.

Unless as the years pass Joy and peace
continually increase, man has not
found the secret of religion. The Com
munion service followed led by Rev. A.
H. Schoenfeld of Dodgeyille and Rev.
L. G. Partch of Lake Mills.
The Praise and Prayer service in the
evening was led by Rev. H. L. Hart
we'll of MazOmanie. There was an an
them by the choir. Rev. John Wilson
of Ripon spoke on the Young People
and the church service. Iii important
that when young we form habits of
church going. For in youth we form hab
it's and in age they form Us. There ia
danger that the Sunday School and En-
deavor Society will become a menace to
the real mission of the Church which
is to teach young people how to wor-
snip God. only one of three of the
young people connected with the church
is regular attendant upon church ser
vices. Mr.. Wilson made this state
ment as result of an investigation he
had made which disclosed that only
4, 261 out of IS, 424 young people con-
nected with LAP churches were habit
ual church attendants What is needed
is g. revival of the custom of church
going by families.
Prof. Fl. C. Buell. Of GAINESVILLE spoke
of the Importance of having young
people in the church serv ice
because ~ the church gave
the best that it had in its regular
service Of worship ~ their presence
has good effect upon the service itself
and 90 because the Importance of the
Church as means of training for good
citizenship needs emphasizing, If So
ciety breaks down, it is because we have
not emphasized the church strongly
enough.
Rev. F. j. Scribner of Hillsboro
closed the discussion with strong adj
dress in which he spoke of some me-
thods he had been using to get the
young people into his church service. He
had combined the Sunday school and
the Church service and was getting en-
couraging results. He spoke of the
value of the Children's sermon and the
Importance of giving the children some
part that they could call their own in
the service of worship.

Faith" He..said we are trying to Go
the greatest thing in the world that is
advanced the cause of the Kingdom of
Christ in small ways. The modern man
begrudges the hour he spen is in church
for worship. There are many pennies on
the contribution plate. Many people only
give scraps of time for church work.
What is needed l. faith in the impor-
lance of religious work large enough to
enlist the swhole man and his means.
The Christian life is a life of growth.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infsmed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the indamma ton can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be des-
trOyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrhO that cannot be cured by Hall e
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

ARE THESE YOUR SYMPTOMS?

Do you find your breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the mouth, o
coated tongue, mean feeling in the
head?
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. 1t is condition which,
If not corrected, becomes chronic.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do otgripe or purge but simply
assist nature. Taken regularly for a
time, they really do correct constipation
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, n. Y, for free sample or
get fuIl-size, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets
from your own druggist.

BaTab0O Woman Tells
An Interesting Story
Reasons Advanced for Pa
tronizing the Merchants
at Her Home Town.


cited the business of q woman in Bara-
loo and the supposition is that she
wrote the following reply. tits clear
and logical argument for the support
of the local merchants.
Referring to the subject of Home
Loyalty, which you call 'bogie', held
up by local merchants, you suggest
that it would be better for me to send
my money to mail order houses and
keep the retailers profit myself than
to buy goods at home and let our home
stores make the profit.
Your essential premise is that you
sell to me at the same price which the
local retailer pays at wholesale That
i, vital point which am not 'ready to
concede, except for the sake of argu-
ment.
''But assuming your premise to be
correct, has it ever occurred to you
what the consequence would be if my
self and all my neig hbors out in the
smaller towns should begin TO send
their money to the mail order houses,
in order to keep the profit for them
selves? Let US suppose that
my husband clerks in the store.
Mrs. Smiths husband drives the
delivery wagon.
Mrs. Browns husband is cashier
in eaalocal bank.
Mrs. Jones husband teaches the
school,
Mrs. Whites husband breaches in
the church.
And we all stop trading at home.
Suppose all the rest of the women
did the same. What is good for one is
good for all. What would be the re-
suit?
First, the stores would close up.
My husband would lose his job. We
would have to move probably to some
big city.
MRS. Smiths husband would lose his
job and they would move away.
THE stores being closed and local
business suspended, the bank would be
driven into liquidation and Mrs. Browns
husband would lose his job, and would
move.
IAN the families in town having been
driven away, the school would of coul Sc
close up and Mrs. Jones husband would
lose his place.
THE church would die and Mrs.
White 9 husband would be out hunting
for new pastorate.
And We women, by organizing our
soap clubs, and by distributing our mail
order catalogues, have practically dis
charged our own husbands and separa-
ted ourselves and our children from our
bread and tutter. The small town would
be dead. We would have to go to the
farm or the big city in order to exist.
"Of course | realize, as you also rea-
lie, that such condition is not likely
to come to pass-but this is not your
fault. Your policy, if carried out to it's
logical end, would mean just this.
Would it help me much to save the
profits at such cost?
Your claim that the prices quoted
in your catalogue are the same the local
merchant pays at wholesale is not well
founded.
Furthermore, | am inclined to be-
ieye from inquiries I have made that
/ could go to our home stores and by
buying in $40 lots, paying cash, and
taking the goods home with me,
could save enough out of $40 order to
duplicate the premiums you offer. con-
sidering the cost of shipping and deIiv-
cry of goods from Chicago. Besides.
would be buying at home, save several
weeks of waiting, avoid the risk of de-
Jay and loss and would know in advance
by personal examination just what |
am getting.
