AT PALISADES AMUSEMENT PARK

Although the weather wasn't any
week it didn't keep many people from
the park.
The free show this week is fine,
there being four good acts. The main
act is performed by five Japanese
brothers, who give a fine exhibition OF
balancing, etc.
The concerts given by the band also
draws a large gathering as do the
many roads of merry midway, especial.
ly the new rides.
Arthur c. Holden, the greatest of all
high divers, is to begin his daily dives
for the coming summer, beginning Sat.
urday (today).
Since the cars in the Whirlpool have
had shock absorbers put on the visitors
in the park are waiting in large lines
to get on it.
The new Gravity Ride, the Virginia
Reel, Underground Chinatown, Third
Degree, Witching Waves, Whip, Char
lot Race, the Racer and 1.-The Big
Ride" the last one especially, is like
magnet to the people who know a
good ride when they once try it.
The swimming pool, as usual, is pa
trOnized by a large crowd, but even q
larger crowd will come and be accom-
modated when the many new steel
lockers are installed. The life guards
are also busy giving lessons to many
pupils in both swimming and diving.

Triangles Win S to 4
From jewelers. Team
In Fine Game Sat.

The PaliSade Triangles defeated the
Manufacturing jewelers. ball team
last Saturday afternoon at the Pail
SADIE Fairgrounds before fair sized
crowd of loyal rOOters. 1t was one of
the very best games of ball seen here
for several years-in fact, since 1916.
The Triangles had in the lineup quite
club members, including Erwin Goe-
man at first, Bobbie Ropes at short
and Leon Reuhmann at second. AS
games go this one was first class. The
visitors brought along most of their
talent from YOnkerS, the home of more
semi-pro teams than almost any other
town on the map. There were a num-
Der of cOrkerS in the lot, including
BrOnnell at third, Cookery at first,
Jenkins at short and SmthsOn in left.
These men compare favorably with
any of the very best Semi-pro players,
and to their credit the whole team
played gentlemanly ball, thing not
always brought along with visitors
from the other side of the Hudson.
Crawford, the pitcher, was a fine
sport-clean able in the box and as
fine as they are made. He might have
thought that Umpire Logan's decisions
were a bit off at times, but he never
WINGED once and remarked at one time
when some of the other players made
a mild protest, "Oh, well, this is not a
fnp 1N,,t MI
the best men make mistakes"
On the Palisade side Erwin Goe-
mann. at first, was at his best, playing
the bag, hitting them out or in run
ming the bases. He is really better
than ever Bobbie Ropes was all there
again at short, though he has not been
at ball game, he says, for three
years-not since 1916, when he played
like a professional against Fort Lee
and helped bring home that famous
cup in that July contest. Leon Re-
human, at second, was never as good
before and has improved about 200
per cent. Harry Griffin. in the box,
was his usual fine Self-gOod humOred,
earnest, full of the very hardest kind
of pitching, and the fact that he got
away with his game against such a
good man as Crawford, the pride of
Y0nkers, was feather in his cap he
should wear with pride. Then there
was George Beckmann in left, the
premier fielder, who was at his old
form and playing the game for all that
it ever did or could represent to his
ball loving heart. George was good
all around, as usual. and did his part
to win. AT third Cliffside furnished
young Henderson, and he is a most
promising player He played without
bauble, except for dropping tarna-
ton hot liner, and made his presence
felt on all that came his way. He is
a most promising player. Marty Lyons
played right very well and among the
very young players of the village is
bound soon to make his mark He is
very light, but there is no reason why
he should not develop into a second
Johnnie Evers. He handles himself
like real ball player and is going to
make his mark.

Orrin Breiby's Play.

Orrin Breiby's play, $4,000 a Year.
is again being played at the various
vaudeville houses in New York city.
Last week it was shown at ProctOr's
Theater, Twenty-eighth street and
Broadway. Every Palisadian should
see it, but the only criticism l can offer
is that it is not a play to make devils
blush. There isn't paiama or even a
bedroom slipper visible, and no one
unfolded a fan in the family circle at
any time during the play in order to
conceal their features. But this can
be easily remeded if the public de-
mandS it.

BONUS LAWS TO BE
TESTED BY COURT

~
Efforts to conduct friendly test
case on the legality OF the two soldier
benefit bills made law within the past
two weeks probably will result in fill
ing of papers in the state supreme
court in time to have the matter de-
cided at the next session early in Oc-
tober
While there has been some hesitan-
cy to institute proceedings, suppos-
edly on grounds of political expediency,
the general impression emanating at
the attorneys generals office is that If
there is any doubt about constitution
ality of either the bonus or especially
of the educational law, it should be
settled Immediately rather than later
when injury might result to many
soldiers continuing their educstions
relying on state aid
While there is little doubt about
the bonus bill, there is slight hazi-
ness about the states right to con-
tribute money for schooling soldiers
at private institutions. The attorney
general has never ruled on this mat
ter. Legality of the two bills will
be brought before the court on the
return of Attorney Gen. J. J. Blaine
at the end of the week.

OIL VOLCANO
Still KEEPS
UP ERUPTION

The veritable volcano set off by an
explosion in the Some and Fleming oil
plant Saturday afternoon at New York
was still in active eruption Sunday
night, after providing that city with
more spectacular thrills than any other
fire has in years.
Firemen believed that the 20 acres
of tanks will require three or four days
to burn themselves out.
The damage was variously estimated
at from S3.OOO,000 to $7,000,OO0, with
more than so firemn and workers in
iured.
The 100 tanks of the plant a SUBJ
sidiary of the Standard Oil company,
had total capacity of 110,OoO,00O gal
Ions. Much of their contents was
drawn off through pipe lines to other
plants, after the fire had started.
The fire already had drawn larger
crowds than any similar occurrence in
history, and was rivalling President
Wilson and General Pershing as an
attraction.
Police lines have been established
several blocks form the plant, beyond
which only firemen, newspapermen or
workmen may pass, but every vantage
point outside the barred zone is siezed
by spectators.
Across a shallow river from the
burning tanks the ground rises in a
natural grandstand, and this has been
crowded to capacity, day and night,
since the fire started
The fire resembling volcano from
distance, has developed all the unex-
pected dangerous characteristics of
one.
Explosion follows explosion when
least looked for, and the rivers of
blazing oil-running riot through the
adjacent streets and on the surface OF
the riyer-have several times cut off
firemen and workers, resulting in
spectacular rescues.
MayorHylan, while inspecting the
fire Sunday afternoon, was standing
less than a hundred yards from huge
naptha tank, when it exploded.
The pail of smoke created by the ex-
plosion. cut off his escape, and he was
about half blinded, when EIrenen dis
covered him, and guided him to safety.
He left the scene Immediately.
When the fire started, presumably
from spontaneous combustion, ."fire
alarm" was turned in.
Additional calls were sent out until
Saturday night the .6666777," which
called every firemen then off duty to
report for service, was sounded.
This was the first time in the his
tory of the department that this signal
has been used.
More than 500 firemen and five fire
tugs fought the flames.

WOUNDED Lad
Sees BROTHER
LAST In FRAY

Serg. Fred Krech, who has been on
furlough, expects to return in few
days to Baltimore, Md, where he will
re-enter the u. S. hospital for furthur
treatment.
He entered the service on June 20
1916, and went with Co. F, to Waco,
Texas, doing border duty during the
Mexican trouble at San Antonio, Tex.
He left with Co. F, at camp Mer-
ritt, N j., on Feb. 18, 1913. arriving
at Brest, France, March 3. 1918. He
was transferred on April 6, 1913, from
Brest to Co. F. of the first division,
18th infantry. He went directly to the
front.
His first battle was in Cantigny on
June 10, 1913, and his brother, Will
liam Krech, went into battle with him
and escaped without a scratch, while
Fred lay wounded on the battlefield,
hit in the left hip, the bullet coming
out the abdomen. The young soldier
spent much time in the hospital at
Paris, and was then taken to Vichy
Base hospital, No. !. in France. Leay-
ing for Brest, he came to America,
landing in Baltimore, one year ago,

She was participating in the three
mile relay lady riders when the

first mile, and the stirrup also broke.
The plucky young lady however
stayed in the saddle while her Ken
lucky thoroughbred galloped on at
a break neck speed without control.
Miss Jewell kept her seat until the
home stretch was reached when she
fell off the horse. Aside from the
shock of the fall she was not serr
ously hurt. She expects to partici-

SUNDAY SCHOOL
WORKERS MEET

The Sauk county sunday school
convention held it's annual meeting
at Reedsburg, in the Baptist church
last week.
This was one of the most success
full conventions held in Sauk county
of it's kind, for many years The sun
day school work in the county is
taking new aspect and to judge by
the enthusiasm and the universal re-
presentation at the convention much
ought to be accomplished during the
coming year. Fourteen sunday
schools were represented with one
of several delegates. New. officers
were elected and with these officers
1t is hoped the Sauk county will be
the strongest organized county in
the state. The officers are: c. A.
Briggs, Baraboo. president; Miss Ida
Gardner, Reedsburg, secretary; Mrs.
S. A Kellar, Sauk City, treasurr. AS
superintendents for the various di-
visions the following were elected:
childrens division, Mrs. Arthur q,
Hass, Reedsburg; young people divi.
sion, Rev. Victor Hugo Sword, Reeds
burg; adult division, r. P. Perry
Reedsburg. administrative division,
F. A. Nehs, Baraboo; educational de-
partment, w. Fl. Schilling, Spring
Green.
The things that were emphasized
and that each school must seriously
consider, if it desires to serve the
community and keep up with the
various advancements in education
were: first, a graded school. It is
impossible to teach the children the
same lessons that one teaches the
adults said the state secretary Rod
gers. Second graded schools demand
trained leadership. Trained teachers
are demanded in the day schools
and why not in the sunday school?
Third, that we must reach our junior
boys and girls. That is the time
when the character is nodded and
when the boy longs to follow some
leader
1t was also emphasized that the
Sabbath school is the church OF to-
morrow. AS we make the sunday
school today SO will the church of to-
morrow be.
