A live wire is full of surprises
and if you don't think so come
and get acquainted with William
Hamilton Miller Feb. IA, for he is
a copper wire carrying a lot of
current.
MI. Miller, or as he is better
known, Colonel Miller, talks fast
err and says more than any other
man on the American platform.
The newspapers insist upon call
ing him a humorist in spite of the
fact that he delivers a most i'm
portant message.
Under the titles Farming and
Being EARNED" and "Our Neigh.
boring City," Col. Miller will give
two lectures that are bound to be
considered masterpieces even tho
framed in the splendid array of
talent which the Chautauqua is to
bring here. Even though you
may not be interested in the SUBJ
ject matter he will present, you
will get your moneys worth and
more too from the funny stories
and quick turns he makes in his
lectures. 1t is a treat to be able
to hear Colonel Miller, and he is
a real benefit to the community,
as he makes it a better place in
which to raise that best of all
crops-the crop of boys and girls.

How to Handle an Estray.

You are advised that before any
estray stock can be advertised it
is necessary that a thorough ex-
animation be made of the animal
in the presence of two competent
witnesses who are familiar with
livestock and brands. These wit
nesses and yourself must sign a
written description of the stock,
in which shall be stated the age,
weight, sex, color, brands or any
other marks of identification, and
forward same to the secretary OF
the state board of live stock CON-
mi%ssioners, Cheyenne. This office
will not order advertisement un.
less the brands and location Of
the brands as they appear r cor
rectly given. In order to make
sure Of the brands it is a good
idea to clip the hair.
After the receipt of such a des'
scription, duly corroborated, an
effort to locate the owner will be
made and, if unsuccessful, an or,
der to advertise will be issued il
accordance with the State Stat
utes. The state law provides tina
a charge of ten cents per day pc
head shall be allowed for the keel
of estrays, beginning the date o
report to the state board of live
stock commissions.
Those who haven't had theiI
brands re-recorded should do 81

State Sheep Convention.

The twelfth annual convention
of the Wyoming Wool Growers
association will be held at Casper
on February % "a. The railroads
have granted very low rates for
this occasion, and as Casper has
announced one of it's old-time glad

sheepmen are this year offered
better facilities and accommoda-
tons for the annual state meeting
than aver before.
The leasing question is bound
to bring out many heated discus

Washington, ID. c., Feb. g.
Another day of reckoning. The
United States Treasury faces a
deficit of over 500, 100000. The
party responsible for that deficit
must either meet the situation or
surrender the reins of power.
In other words, the American
people demand that a political
party either make good or give up.
The handwriting on the wall
was revealed recently by Repre-
sentative Joseph W. Fordney Of
Michigan in a discussion of the
Democratic tariff and revenue
poIicies before the House. He
showed that the Democratic party
has failed to make good.
The treasury balance is nearly
100000 less than it was when
the Republicans were in power"
said Mr.. Fordney. "The war in
Europe is the excuse, but it is not
the cause for the deficit. Without
that wal the Democratic party
would have been compelled to ad.
nit ere this that their tariff law is
a complete failure.
comparing nine months from
March to November, 1915, with
the corresponding nine months
from March to November, 1913,
imports show a less gain of $72,-
10000 Customs receipts showed
a loss of $4,000, 900. The maxi
mum loss of customs receipts that
can be attributed to the war in
Europe is S5,52O,OOO per month.
aud the war tax, so-called, is pro-
ducing Sc. 900 per month, or
about 100000 per month more
than the loss in customs receipts.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the wal tax is more than making
up for the loss in customs receipts
the balance in the general fund
declined $75, 500, 1886 from July 81,
1914, to July 81, 1915. On July
81, 1914, the balance was $143,-
776,s0O and one year later it was
down to $68, l73,0
"The Underwood law started
out with a good balance in the
Treasury. That is not an argu-
ment in favor of the Underwood
law. Credit for that balance be-
longs to the preceding Republi-
can tariff law. The real question
Is, what balance will you have at
the end of the operation of the
Underwood law2
up to the present time some
SS5,OOO,00O has been raised by the
so-called war taxes, and notwith-
standing this and the fact that
lmportations at present are break
ing past records in volume, the
balance in the general fund is
now down to about $5O,0O0,OOO
When the Underwood act is
finally repealed and the reckon
ing is made, it will show some
hundreds of millions raised by OBJ
lectionable methods of taxation
and an empty treasury."-N.R re.

The Grand Jury Organized

Judge Walter George delivered
a strong charge on law enforce
ment to the members of the
special Grand Jury this forenoon,
stressing the necessity of a fear
less discharge of the duties of
the jurors in the county. The
violation of the prohibition law
and the need for a greater pre-
lection to life and property, as
far as the enforcement Of law
may a hieve these, receiv-
ed his special attention. The
Grand Jury organized with the
election of Mr.. J. A. Murphy as
Foreman and e. P. Morris as
clerk. The high personel of the
special grand Jury speaks well
for the beginning of a better
year.

IBARABOO BOYS DEFEAT
PORTAGE HIGH SCHOOL

The Baraboo high school team de-
feated Portage high on Saturday aft
ernoon at the fair ground by score
of 10 to 6. The first half was a battle
royal and ended with each side hav-
ing made one touchdown. In the sec
ond half of the game the Baraboo boys
showed their superiority and the ball
was kept in Portage territory most Of
the time. After Baraboo had the game
safely won, the strength of the local
players was conserved by kicking the
ball, and little effort was made to run
up a higher score. The Baraboo line
up was Pigg, left end; Rooms, left
tackle; Cahoon, left guard; Hawkins,
center; Lusby, right guard; Button,
right tackle; Page, right end; Veer-
husen, quarter back; Underkof1er, left
half; Bailey, right half, and Evenson,
full back. Terry substituted for Pigg,
Hauptman for Cahoon, Schenck for
Lusby and Kaiser for Underkofler.
The Baraboo touchdowns were
made by Veerhusen and Hawkins, the
latter falling on a blocked kick back
of the Portage goal. Bailey played his
usual good game and Button was ev-
erywhere he was needed at the right
time. Both players were injured early
in the game, but pluckily continued to
play The coaching of E. P. Rosenthal
was manifest in the greatly improved
playing Of the Baraboo team over that
Of week ago at Richland Center.
There was a good attendance at the
game, the enthusiasm aroused being
largely due to the work of G. w. Win
chester of the high-school faculty.
The Portage players were accompa-
MED to Baraboo by number Of loyal
supporters, who gave their team every
encouragement possible.
Next Saturday the local team goes
to Tomah to play and the following
Saturday Reedsburg will come here.

A telephone message was received
last night from Neenah by G. A. Briggs
containing news of the death of Ed
ward E. Eaton, who lived for many
years on the farm now owned by
George Fish, near Newport, and had
at one time one of the best apple or
chards in this section. He also was a
great hop grower and quite a politi-
clan, always active in public affairs,
and man whose opinion was greatly
sought because he succeeded. Some
years ago he sold his farm and re-
tired, moving to Neenah. A Wife,
one daughter and a son survive. Mrs.
Eaton was formerly Miss Amanda
Chaffee and lived in the large stone
house now known as Dawn" this
side of Kilbourn, the daughter is the
wife of Rev. Thomas Foss of Iowa, and
the son Edmond lives in StroOl, S. D.
The body will be brought to Baraboo
