BROOKLYN STANDARDU UNION COMMENTS ON THE DEATH
OF ALFRED 7. RINGLING AND HIS CONNECTION WITH
THE GREATEST CIRCUS ENTERPRISE EVER LAUNCHED
(Brooklyn Standard Union. October

(Brooklyn Standard Union, October
%, 1919.
Perhaps the biggest figure in the
circus business since Barnum died
disappeared yesterday when Alfred
T. Ringing died on his Jersey estate.
As one of the seven brothers who
made the name of Ringing known
the country over by tented show en-
terprises on scale that has never
been surpassed. Alfred was in many
ways the leading spirit and certain
ly the unequaled organizer. He
sensed what the public wanted and
got it any cost.
1t is not easy, perhaps not possible,
to compare Barnurn and Ringing

LITTLE SON OF MRS HESTER RLVGLING PARKS
LANCASTER, LEGALLY TAKES NAME OF STEPFATEIER

The grandchild Of Charles e. Ring
ling, of the Ringing circus family
has been adopted by his own mother
and her new husband, Louis G. Lam
caster, sales manager of the Dashiell
Motor Co., Chicago.
The adoption took place the day
after the mother was married to Mr..
Lancaster, according to an agreement
the couple had made. That her year
old son might not suffer from any
lack of interest on the part OF a
stepfather, Mrs. Lancaster desired her
new husband to become the boy
legal father. Judge Victor P. Arnold
of the Juvenile court, Chicago. made
it SO.
The boy is Charles Ringing Parks.
His father, Clifton A. Parks, died at
Pittsburgh in December. 1918. The
child's name now is Charles Ring
ling Lancaster and he is in Florida
with his parents on their honeymoon.
The wedding took place Sept. 29 and

were undreamed of till then. Nor was
that the only Barnun distinction. He
was a past master in the publicity art
and literally amazed this country by
his methods and lavishness.
Alfred T. Ringing was a close
second to Barnum, but he and his
brothers had the experience of their
predecessor as a guide. However, he
was original in his ideas, poured out
his money for anything and every
thing that might increase the drawing
power of his shows. He developed a
great and carefully managed business
enterprise and stream Of gold flow
ed to him and his brothers, all OF
whom displayed marked aptitude as
showmen. OF course all the credit fol

New Place Secured For Company,
Defacing Bluff in Devils Lake
State Park
OPTION FOR $17,50O
SECURED OF OWNER
American Refractories Concern
May Take New Location at No
Distant Date---Two Conditions

wednesday an option for $l7,5cO
was obtained from w. G. Blawusch ON
his 81 1-2 acre farm next the devils
nose" three miles south of Devils lake
state park; and to this point the
American Refactor1es Co. probably
will transfer it's Qus-.-sy!nss operations
that have been going on for some ten
years at the waters edge with rulnouS
effect upon scenery.
The change depends upon only TWO
conditions
1. If the quartzite there is OF tne
right quality for firebrick purposes.
2. If the Northwestern Co. Will
build a spur track.
Both conditions probably will be
met. 1t is not likely that this rock
in the same range can differ materi-
ally from that at the lake; and OF
course the railway will construct a
siding for he traffic, even though as
is the case, the grade is a trying one.
The option expires May next.
Mr. Blawusch thought his 81 IL
acres worth $4,000 but finally agreed
to Governor Philips offer of $1,000,
which is 5000 an acre. The negotia
tion occurred in the governors Office
whether Mr.. Blawusch had come with
Senator George Staudenmayer and G.
l.. Harrington of the conservation
commission. These two men went to
Devils lake in the forenoon to consult
Mr. Blawusch
The price, considering the quality OF
land, is generally deemed high.
Of the Blawusch farm fifteen acres
are in the bluff,-a solid mass OF
uuartzite estimated from 400 to 5O0
feet thick, rock for Gentry or more.
The rest Of the farm, which lies most
ly to the east of the railway up to-
the ''nose," iss under cultivation OF
some extent, though regarded as far
from good land. 1t is stony through
out Comfortable farm buildings are
on the place. The quarry company
needs only the rock, SO the state may
sell the arabic portion Snoula lne
company not want to take it for its
workmen The bluff part is bisected
by the railroad and the other portion
by highway. a
The Roy Lesser farm of 160 acres
lies rods south of the optioned tract.
1t has some 40 acres of rock bluff. On
this farm was reared F. o. Leiser,
general secretary of tn Madison Y. M.
C. A. There had been some talk OF
buying this farm, but the Blawusch
place was thought more desirable,
and less costly because smaller. The
Refactore Co.'S holding on the Devils
lake shore amount to 81 acres, all
bluff. The Blawusch place is larger,
81 1-2 acres, but with only Is acres Of
rock
According to the Sank County
Farmers directory issued few weeks
ago, Mr. Blawusch has Is acres in Sec
ton 29 and 72 1-2 acres in. section 80,
the whole being assessed at $3.50.

EYE DOCTOR AT
MADISON Wins
Other Cases Of Interest Are De-

the State Of Wisconsin

] Albertina Finke Madison, demanded

during mastoid operation he had Sc.
Ivered her facial nerve and she could
not control her pnyslognomy The
trial court directed verdict, finding
that the doctor was not liable, and
this verdict was affirmed upon appeal
by the supreme court at Madison.
other Cases
The state supreme court in another
case held that the relative goodness
of an eye is not to be made the basis
of complication If workman loses
an eye in an industrial accident and
claims compensation. The state indus
trial commission last year directed
payment of s1,209.84 to August Mil
denberger, Milwaukee, as compensa-
ton for an accident sustained while
employed by Pawling & Harnischferg-
er Co.
The commission found that he had
become totally blind in one eye and
gave him 140 weeks pay under the
law. The company represented that
the eye in question was only 27 per
cent normal vision before the acci-
dent and that the man should be
paid only 27 per cent of the compensa-
tion that the law provides for one
blind eye. The lower court affirmed
the order of the commission, the COM
pany appeared and lost in the supreme
court
If your building burns and it causes
damage to your neighbors property,
undr certain circumstances you may
be liable for your neighbor's loss.
This is the effect of decision by the
supreme court in the case of B. Hitler
VS.. Trout Book Co. Mr.. Killers slaugh-
ter house, situated on land adjoining
the book company property, was burn
ed as the result of a fire originating
on the defendants land. The lower
court gave a verdict of S1,079.51 and
the book company appeared and lost.
Council Must Obey Court
The mayor and common council of
a city must obey mandamus judg-
ment issuing out of circuit court, says
the state supreme court which affirm
ed a decision requiring the Madison
common counsil to create new ward.
The COUNSEL set up that the proceedings
were insufficient
Delayed Policy Is Void
Unless a property owner insure his
property soon enough SO that he can
get his policy approved by the com
pany, he has no insurance and cannot
collect in cases of loss, even though
the failure of the policy to be approved
be due to the negliance of an agent,
is the ruling of the supreme court in
the case of William Goldberg VS.. Se-
neca Sigel and Rudolph Mutual Fire
Insurance Co. and William Gaulke.
The plaintiff had insured his barn
and hay twelve days before the fire,
but the agent had held the policy and
the day after the fire. The supreme
court sustained the company in its re-
fusal to pay.

See Some of the Wonderful Seen
cry in Colorado and Reach
Place Where Caution is Urged

AS SO many Of our friends have re
Quested that we write them concern
ing our trip, time and writing ac
conodations not always being at oul
disposal, we have taken this as the
simplest means Of complying with
their request.
We left the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Wilbur Cowles, who SO kindly enter
tanned lis during the last few days OF
our stay at BaraboO, at 1880, October
8, and after pleasant five hour drive
reached Lancaster, where we found
our friends, the G. w. Daviesfamily en-
joying their work and best Of health
The evening was delightfully."- warm
and moonlight, and we all took a walk
about the city, which is a very pretty
place. Mr.. Davies took US into the
beautiful courthouse, showed US his
office and told us a little about his
work.
The following morning we awoke
to find cold, damp wind blowing
from the north, and the ride from
Lancaster to Prairie du Chen was
the coldest we have had on the trip.
The warmth of the ferry was certain
1y appreciated by ourselves and the
other passengers.
After reaching McGregor we no
longer suffered from the cold, but
found that the recent rains in Iowa
had left the roads very muddy. We
struck several pieces of fresh grad
ing where the mud was about as
bad as any we had ever gone
through.
We visited with the families Of
Mr. Wichern's sister and nephew at
Usage and then continued south,
finding nothing but dry roads froM
that time on. There is a delightful
nine mile stretch of concrete road
from Mason City to Clear Lake
Clear Lake itself is a little gem of q
lake, reminding us very much of
Lake Geneva.
The stock through Iowa looked to
be in fine condition.
Through Missouri on High
Through great part of Missouri
there were steep hills to climb, one
after the other, but the Dodge took
them all nicely in high.
The part of Missouri that we
travelled through could be ''shown"
something about farming as most
of the farms looked rather neglected
and the buildings dilapidated. We
noticed some fields Of very large
corn. Mules were plentiful, also
turkeys, and we saw some nice
flocks of sheep.
We passed through no cities Of
much size, until suddenly emerging
out of wooded road, Kansas City
1oomed before us. Here we found
the George w. Hackett family snug
ly established in a comfortable and
very pretty home in the suburbs of
the city.
Kansas City is a real live town
of 100000 population and has some
very fine buildings. The corners on
the main streets remind one of Chi
cago. We visited the zoo at Stroke
park and enjoyed watching the seals,
monkeys and other animals.
