READ NEWSPAPER
THROUGH SPUD SKIN

81 suspect potatoes are being peel
ed with safety razors this year, judg
ing from my observations at the gar
bage crematory," said Charles L. Da-
Wis, superintendent of the crematory
at Milwaukee. "The peelings are SO
thin you can read a newspaper
through them. The eyes seemingly
are left in the tubers. It is fact,
there is far less vegetable waste at
the crematory now than in the past,
or at this time last year. The high
price of foodstuffs may be disguised
blessing if it teaches the housewife to
be more economical. The waste in
the American kitchen has been ap-
palling and the present situation
shows what can be done when econ
omy is the first consideration"

FAMOUS STALLION "COLONEL
ANDERSON" LOSES LIFE IN
BLAzE-KEEPER PAIN
FULLY BURNED

Tie Portage fIo department was
summoned Friday morning at 1880 in
response to an alarm to a fire at the
Portage fair grounds. About 100
foot section of the old barns on the
north side of the grounds near the
main gate were burned before the
fremen got the flames under control.
"Col Anderson" a noted stallion, lost
his life in the fire, and twelve other
valuable horses we're rescued.
The fire gained considerable head
way before it was discovered, and
started in the straw shed which is sit
uated in the center section OF the
barns and the flames quickly spread
on both sides. Sam Schenck, Tor
many years a resident of Baraboo,
keeper of the grounds, was painfully
burned about the hands and neck in
rescuing the stock, which included
valuable horses belonging to M. H.
Wadsworth and others. A fine rub
Der tired buggy belonging to Mr..
Wadsworth as well as sulkies, har>
ness, etc., were burned, but a consid-
erable amount of the race equipment
was taken from the burning building
by firemen and others. Mr.. Schenck
carried no insurance on his property,
and his loss will be quite heavy, as
he had just received a considerable
stock of oats, hay and straw.
The east portion Of the barns was
saved, including five stalls. but the

NOTES ABOUT The RlNGLINGS,
GOLLMARS AND OTHER
CIRCUS NOTABLES
(By D. w. Watt in the GAINESVILLE Ga
zette.)

(By D. w. Watt in the GAINESVILLE Ga
zette.)
A recent letter from the Ringing
show gives an account Of their busi-
ness through the different cities of
the South. In Birmingham, Ala, in
the late eighties the Adam Forepaugh
show had one of the largest single
days business of the season. We
showed there on Monday and the gen.
eral admission to both afternoon and
evening performances was one dollar,
and at both performances played to
the capacity Of the house. This was
in the boom days of Birmingham,
when everybody seemed to have their
pockets full of money. The following
letter tells of the enormous business
of the Ringlings there this year.
The Ringling Brothers circus play
ed to two turn-aways here. Long
before the afternoon performance be-
gan, thousands of people thronged the
show grounds, and at each show hun
dreds of people were seated on straw.
The circus men themselves are
quoted as saying that the attendance
in Birmingham was the greatest they
had at any city in the south. 1t is
safe to predict that should the Ring
ling show return next season, it will
make Birmingham two days stand.
AS to how the Ringlings met the
emergency at the time of the recent
fire, when seventy horses lost their
lives in a tent fire, Mr.. Watt says:
Ed. M. Ballard of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus, upon receipt of a wire
from the Ringing Brothers telling Of
the fire in their barns which burned
number of their horses, some of
the rest being so badly burned they
had to be put to death, Immediately
sent four carloads of draft stock, or
one hundred and twelve head, from
West Baden, Ind. Harness Tor each
horse was also sent. The Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus closed it's season at
West Baden on October 26, and the
horses had just been turned loose on
the farm, nine miles outside of West
Baden, when Mr.. Ballard received the
message.

If any of ire circuses in the coun-
try are looking for curiosity for
the coming season, here is surely
one:

the Ringing show received letter
from a South Carolina gentleman, en-

Twelve Race Horses
Are Rescued From
Fire at Portage

section on the west end, consisting Of
about eight stalls, was burned.
Col. Anderson, the stallion which
was burned in the fire, was a widely
known Wisconsin stock horse and was
owned by Sam Schenck and Harring-
ton & Anderson of Milton Junction.
The horse, worth about $500, was
about twenty-five years of age and
was one of the finest appearing ami
mails, having taken first premiums in
state fairs and other horse exhibits
Almost Bald
In his efforts to free the animal
Mr.. Schenck's hair and neck were
so badly singed by the flames that he
is practically bald and carries some
severe burns On his neck. He nearly
suffocated before giving up the rescue
of the animal Mr.. Schenck, seeing
it was useless to devote more time
to saving the doomed animal, turned
his attention to the rest of the ami
mails in the stable and freed them all.
Set by Hobo
In the stables at the time the fire
was discovered were the following
horses, which were saved: F. E.
Bronson's ''The INTENT" Milt Wads-
worth's Pearl, Harriet w. and An
gelic; Mr.. Schenck's Crown Chief,
June Chimes and colt; two colts own
ed by DR.. Meacher and a mare belong
ing to Dave Morris of Cambria.
Mr.. Schenck believes the fire was
started by a hobo who had slept in
one of the stalls during the night.
He says that just before he discov-
cred the flames he saw stranger
come from the direction Of the stable
and leave the fair grounds. He be

II. III. Tammen, joint owner with F.
S. Bonfils of the Sells-Floto shows, is
seriously i'll at the La Sale hotel in
Chicago Mr.. Tammen has not been
we'll for several weeks, and following
a siege which forced him to spend a
week in bed at his Denver home, came
on to Chicago, accompanied by Mrs.
Tammen and DR.. Kenney, his personal
physician, for the purpose of consult
ing specialists.
The exact nature of Mr.. Tanners
illness has not been made public by
his physicians, but it is feared an
operation will be necessary before he
gains any great relief, although this
is complicated by reason of his suffer
ing from a weak heart, which renders
an operation a matter of great deli
cacy 1t is not to be implied that Mr.
Tanners illness is necessarily dan
gerous, but several weeks spent with
the show, during which he took very
active part in the management, placed
a severe tax upon his strength, and
it is the opinion Of his physicians
that whether or not it will be neces-
sary to operate, a long rest is impera-
tive.
It is reported here that a great
many changes will be made in the
Sells-Floto shows before they take the
road next season At the time Of his
being taken i'll, Mr.. Tammen was
working on plans to vastly improve
the show in every department, and
this work will be carried on during
his illness by his subordinates.
In discussing the sale of the Coll
mar show, Mr. Watt, among other
things, writes:
Thousands of people in different
towns in which they showed for so
many years, will hear with regret Of
the passing Of the show into other
hands. While the Gollmars are
around or possibly passed middle age,
they are still young and ambitious
and I think it was hardly likely that
they would retire at this early age
from the business entirely. But they
tell me that no definite plans have
been made for the future. Whatever
their plans may be, thousands Of
people who know them best, and es-
pecially those who have travelled
with them, many Of whom have been
there for years, will only wish the
Gollmar Brothers the best that can
come to them in the future.

OLD KILBOURN
MILL DESTROYED

On Friday night about 8 o'clock
the old grist mill at Kilbourn was
totally destroyed by fire. 1t is be-
lieved the blaze originated from an
overheated stove, as the flames were
first discovered near it. When the
new power plant was constructed the
mill was moved from the dam to
lot near the station. Recently new
machinery had been added and it was
planned to start the mill again soon.
The property was insured. The build
ing was an old one and was land
