HERO OF RESCUE
IN MID-ATLANTIc
DEAD IN WALES

The death of Captain Hamilton
Murrell in Penarth, Wales, recalls a
remarkable rescue of 734 lives which
he and his men on the steamer Mis-
souri, effected in mid-Atlantic in April,
1889.
The Missouri bound from London
to Philadelphia, sighted the Danish
emigrant vessel Danmark, from Cop
enhagen for New York, in distress 500
miles from Newfoundland. She had
broken her shaft and had a fearful
hole in her hull, into which the water
poured while 665 passengers and SO
crew were helpless. They could
neither cope with the inrushing water
nor could they lower the lifeboats be-
cause of the stormy weather.
After "a hours of suspense, the Mis-
souri, appeared on the scene) and at
tempted to tow the Danmark to the
American coast, but this was aban-
dOned and a course shaped for Pc
Azores. The Danmark, however, soon
began to sink, and all her passengers
and crew were transferred to the Mis-
souri,, task that required heroic eff
forts in the storm that was raging. A
part of the Missouri's cargo was jet
tisoned to make room for the rescued
and the rescue-ship herself had diff
ficult time in making port, much de-
layed. She was almost given up for
ost, and when she finally arrived,
with the story of her rescue, it Great
ed a great burst of enthusiasm every
where. Captain Murrell was feted in
America in a remarkable manner.

Paralysis
In BorQboo

Considerable alarm has been occa-
stoned in Baraboo over the report that
infantile paralysis existed in Baraboo.
The case of Harold Welk, the five
year-old son of Mrs Louis Anderson,
who resides in the Third ward, was
diagnosed as the dread disease at a
consultation of physicians on Sunday
and the secretary of the state board
Of health was advised. In response to
message from City Health Officer
L. w. Sayles, Dr. G. w. Henka, deputy
state health officer, came to BaraboO
from Madison yesterday and after
critically examining the patient stated
that the disease was meningitis and
NOT infantile paralysis.
1t seems that the child ate some
green apples about two weeks ago,
was taken with vomiting, and has not
been we'll since. Dr. Sayles, who saw
the boy Saturday, found him then in
semi-cOmatose state, but with no in.
dications of paralysis, the usual tests
for this malady being tried at that
time. On Sunday other physicians
were called and diagnosed the case as
above reported.

VITO Did Ole
SprinEling?

Some years ago there lived in our
city a man named Jacobs. Now this
Jacobs bore no relation to Jacobs
ladder, neither was he clad in the 1iv-
cry of servant of the Most High, yet
was DESTROYS of doing much good. Con-
ditions on Sank Prairie grieved him
sore, SO he went over there in an eff
fort to Christianize and civilize that
community.
Now there was one, Perkins. VINO
seemed rather obdurate, so Brother
Jacobs called for the prayers of the
congregation for the unfortunate man.
Immediately said Perkins had said
missionary arrested and the case
dragged through various courts in va
rious cities of the state, and probably
would be dragging yet if God hadn't
claimed his own.
Now then, perhaps I've been a long
time making my point, but here it is:
If you can arrest a man for praying
for you, why can't you arrest a man
for "sprinkling" you?

the Foresters' hall, and for short
time it was feared the lumber yards
of Caldwell & Gates would be de-
stroyed.
The fire. originated in the garnet of
the Shamrock House from some un-
known cause and spread rapidly.
Doylestown possesses no fire depart
ment or water system, and the hastily
organized bucket brigades were una
BILE to cope with the rapidly spreading
flames which ate their way through
the dry frame buildings. For time
it was feared the whole business Sec
ton of the little town would be wiped
out. Flying embers started blazes in
the Caldwell & Gates lumber yard
across the street, but these were
brought under control by the civilian
fire fighters.
Calls for help were sent to Column
bus, Rio and Portage.
