must win this war. We can and we
shall win. if the boys and girls of
America say so, and mean it. and feel
It, and live 1t, as the boys and girls of
'76 felt and lived and helped.
The nation needs that sort of boys
and girls today. Not to. beat our
drums, nor TO load our muskets, but to
start great work which must be done.
1t Is the part Of the boys and girls to-
day to give an example of self-denial
and sacrifice, to teach fathers and
mothers, to teach the grown people of
the nation that we still have tn every
young heart the spirit of 'T6 when the

the girls fought beside their fathers at

JURY ACQU|TS
DEFENDANTS IN
Prayer CASE
Eleven Men Accused of Hanging
Alleged Disloyalist Freed on
Second Ballot

The eleven men charged with MUIR
der in connection with the lynching of
Robert Paul Prayer, at Edwardsville,
Illinois, were acquitted by a jury
which denberated for just forty-fi
minutes before deciding: Two bal
lots were taken. Announcement that
the defendants were found not guilty
was attended by wild demonstration
in the court room in which the ac-
congratulations by friends and rela-
tives who through the long vigil have
crowded the room. Judge Bernreuter,
the presiding official made only per
functory efforts to stop the cheers.
Court convened at s o'clock Satur-
day morning in an attempt to get the
case to the jury before night. States
Attorney Streber was the first to pre-
sent arguments for the prosecution.
He was followed by counsel for the de-
Tense, and arguments closed at 3:15.
In closing the argument for the de-
Tense, Thomas Williamson quoted a
statement attributed to former Am
bassadOr Gerard, in which the latter
told of replying to the kaiser's threat
that there were 100000 reservists
here.
eyes, and there are 100000 lamp
posts to hang them on" he declared,
saying that the war situation had de-
veloped a new unwrit$en law, which
had been invoked by the men who
hanged Prayer.
Judge Bernreuter in his instructions
to the jury, emphasized the fact that
the war should have no bearing on the
case, which, he said, was one in which
the helpless prisoner was taken from
a Jail and murdered. The presiding
official had previously ruled that 10y
atty or disloyalty of either Prayer or
the defendants should not be consid-
cred by the jury.

suspected blamed another, but he de-
MED having any hand in the affair.
They were brought before Justice H.

elsewhere. BY clever questioning on
the part of Mr.. Halsted and District
Attorney J. H. Hill the guilty ones
were located In order to bring the
climax one of the boys was told that
he would be taken to jail until the
matter was cleared up. When a tele-

if to come there was a culver on the
youthful lip and a clean breast was
made of the affair. The money was

STAMP CAMPAIGN
Plan to Raise Nearly Half a Million
Dollars in the County During
This Month

R. P. Perry, chairman, and Secre-

the interest of the war-sayings stamp
ampaign which closes on June %. Su-
perintendent A. G. Kingsford is the
chairman for Baraboo. The quota for
this county is $6573S0, Of which about
100000 has been sold. The president
governor and mayors will issue proc
lamations setting apart June 20 as a
national holiday. The government
wants the amount sold to reach two
billions, the quota for this state being
fifty-one millions. At 2 o'clock on June
% all will be summoned to the $50
sch00lhouses in the county and p in
the cities for public meetings. The

tinue Indefinitely, an official of the
Hawthorne company is quoted as say
ing: eve do not know ourselves yet.
We will certainly stay as long as we
can, and that will be just as long as
the government wants us to use the
quarters. 1t is a matter for the gov
eminent to decide. If the government
says we will stay, then we will stay
there until the needs of the govern
ment are filled. From other good au-
thority it is. learned that there is
no immediate danger of the Barnum
circus leaving Bridgeport, unless the
Ringlings are anxious to rid them
selves of the Bridgeport lease, which
is an old one that they took over when
they bought the show from the
Bailey estate and which has several
years to run. 1t is said that the only
use that the Hawthorne company is
making of the quarters at present is
for storing raw material, using the
trackage for unloading cars. Only
the elephant and ring barns are being
used, it is further said. AS at present
equipped, the quarters, except in the
summer, could not be used for any
except storing purposes, as there is
no heating system installed, the lights
in most of the buildings are very poor,
and there is no machinery in the build
ings for manufacturing purposes.
