RINCLINC SHOW
MAY COME SOON

J
Charles Ringing, one of the pro.
prietors of the Ringing circus, sent
a letter to the city council Thursday
night in which he stated that he
hoped the circus winter quarters at
Baraboo would be occupied soon. A
communication had been sent to Mr..
Ringing asking that the circus re-
turn to the winter quarters here, the
home of the show for almost forty
years. Last year on account of the
war the circus went to Bridgeport,
Conn.,, From the tone of the letter it
would be no surprise il the show
came to Baraboo this fall although
no definite decision has been reached.
At the council meeting it was
decided to purchase corner piece of
land at Summit and Eight streets,
that danger of collisions may be elm
mated. Land has been purchased at
Elm and Vine streets for the above
reason
The sewer cleaner has been pur-
chased.
A number of sidewalks were con
demned.
W. J. Power was reappointed on

DESERT RAT"
KNOWN HERE.
AT BISMARCK
Colonel Stanley Visits Spot Where
He First Met Late President
Roosevelt 40 Years Ago

King Stanley, old time scout, pros
pector guide and desert rat, recently
revisited the little cottonwood cab
in in which, almost 40 years ago, he
first met the late Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and that visit opened a
whole string Of "reminiscences of his
early days when Bismark was prin-
cipally collection of dance halls,
saloons and gambling houses, lining
the river bank and when the Mis-
souri, was the jumping Off place Of
civilization.
Colonel Stanley, who bears his
title by courtesy Of congress which
informally conferred the honor upon
him, the late Colonel William A.
Cody (Buffalo Bid and White Hawk
now better known in his Wisconsin
home as Doc Powell, arrived in Bis
marck after 10000 mile journey by
Maxwell from Los Angeles in which
he passed through Madison and Bara-
boo. His car is the desert Rat"
Buffalo Bill and | weren't exact
ly pals, but we were good friends"
says Colonel Stanley at Bismark.
He'd throw jobs my way, and I'd re-
turn the compliment. I still do a
littl scouting and occasionally guide
a party through the Great American
little scouting and occasionally guide
sign painting shop in Los Angeles
and half-dozen mines or so that
may pan out some time. Have done
a lot Of prospecting in my day, but
seem to have overlooked the bon
anzas."
"My title?"
well, you see, fellows like Cody
and White Hawk and myself were
boss Of the scouts and we had to
have some title so they called US
colonel, and it stuck in after life.
Years ago congress was considering
passing a law to make it a crime
for anybody to wear military title
he wasn't entitled to. They had a
good deal of fun at the expense Of
the Kentucky colonels," but finally
cambridge got UP and said:
There's three men that are US
ing the title of colonel that | feel are
entitled to it and that this law would
hit. They are Cody, White Hawk
and King Stanley I don't believe in
taking this honor away from them"
Congress agreed with him to the ex
tent of not passing the bill, SO, I'M
officially at least, we three owned our
titles to an act of congress.

ENTERTAIN FRIENDS
AT REEOSBURG HOME

Mr.. and Mrs. R. P. Perry of Reeds
burg were host and hostess on We'd
nesday evening to number of music
loving friends who enjoyed a rare
treat in the pianoforte playing of Mr..
Harry A. Briggs of New York City
who is spending his vacation at the
home of his mother, Mrs. w. p.
Briggs. Garden flowers graced the
hospitable home among the guests
were Mrs, Juliet Brigance of Huston,
Texas, Mrs Ada Harris Twist, Chi
-cago and Mrs. Harry Chambers, Mil
waukee all of whom are visiting in
the city.
The program given by Mr.. Briggs
included numbers from Brahms, Men
delssohn, Beethoven and List, clos
ing with a group from Chopin. The
playing of Mr. Briggs was a delight
from the beginning to the close of
the evening. His Interpretation of the
stately measures of Beethoven was
peculiarly satisfying and his appre-
citation of the delicacy or elfin quail
ity in other numbers fascinated his
hearers. His technic never in evil
dence as such, revealed with magical
touch the subtitle melodies of Chopin
and made the company for brief
time a co-partner in his own evident
enjoyment of the master. The even
ing will long remain delightful
memory By all who were present.

LAST OF FIVE
ARRIVES HOME


Arthur Potter, son of Mr.. and Mrs
L. III. Potter. returned last night
from Camp Grant where he just re
ceived his discharge from the army
The young man is the last Of five
brothers that were in the service to
reach home. He left Baraboo in May
1918 and since December of last year
has been with the army of occupation
on the Rhine not far from Coblenz.
BY a peculiar coincidence he and
William Hattie who returned home
Monday night were the only two of
the 107 that left Baraboo at one
time that remained together through
out their service and came back to-
gether. They were both members of
a machine gun battalion in the Third
division, the division that helped to
drive the Germans back at Chateau
Thierry on July IA and piled the
Teuton dead SO high on the bridge
across the Marne that further adj
vance across the river by the enemy
was impossible. This battle was
probably the turning point in the
war. Mr.. Potter took part in the en-
gagement in the Argonne forest and
came through the fighting without a
scratch. He is looking fine and says
he never suffered any except for
hunger for several days about
Thanksgiving time when his division
was marching through Luxembourg.
The soldiers had gotten too far ahead
of the commissary department and
they subsisted on cabbage and water
for few days.
The return trip home was made in
record time, the division leaving Ger
many August 5. On the same boat on
which Potter and Hattie returned
home was another Baraboo boy, Cliff
ford Steinbrink, who expected to UNI
dergo an operation before returning
to this city. AS result OF the ssflu'
the latter has been suffering some
what from a swelling on his neck
which the army surgeons thought
best to remedy before he was dis
charged.

MIDNIGHT BATH
in DEVILS LAKE
Barabooo Young People Retain
Presence Of Mind Went Canoe
Tips Over at Night

Three young people had an I'M
expected plunge in Devils Lake and
a narrow escape from more serious
consequences. After a dancing party
in the Praeder pavilion, Miss Dorothy
Davenport, Miss Bessie Berkeley,
Donald Buehler and Harold Griffin
left the north shore in canoe tax
ing the first named to the south end
of the lake. On the return trip the
canoe tipped over and the remain
ing three occupants were thrown in
to the cold water. The young men
chung to the canoe and our informant
states that Miss Berkely chung to the
coat tail of one OF the young men.
In this fashion they managed to
reach the shore near the American
refractories company. The young
lady was somewhat chilled because
of the cold but the young men were
warm from the violent exercise in the
water. The night was so still and all
retained their presence Of mind to
such normal degree that Miss Berk-
ley did not even lose a dancing slip
per. 1t is stated the canoe probably
tipped over because it was borrowed
without the owner first being inform
ed. Aside from the drenching re-
ceived there was no i'll effect from the
experience.

BELGIAN HARES:;

The outstanding feature OF the coun-

Brown hares and black, white, yellow
brindled, big and little, drowsy and
alert-all kinds were exhibited a
hundred cages or more.
Ten years ago at a Dane county fair
a single pretty pair might be shown,
just as a novelty or for curosity,-
nothing commercial about it. But to-
day hares distinctly represent a
healthy and booming industry in both
food and fur.
