10Th CENTURY
CLUB MEETS

The first meeting of the Twentieth
of Mrs. George C. Astle.
The preface and chapter | Of 'sThe
woman citi en-" by Boyd were given
by Mrs. George w Gollmar. The club
is to make an exhaustive study of
this work, chapter by chapter, as prep
aration before assuming the duties
of citizenship, that will doubtless be
opened before long to them in Wis
consin. The book deals with the
various governmental, industrial and
economic problems that confront the
American nation and considers the
methods by which they should be ap-
preached by women voters, and the
deired objects to be obtained.
There also was an interesting re-
sumo of habit by William James Civ
en- by Mrs. Oscar Wieglow. The book
is an interesting treatise on habit
and how the life of every individual
is affected by it; the power for good
or evil that the development of right
or wrong habit may be in ones life
and the almost irresistible influence
of habit when formed. The purpose
of forming correct habits is to make
our subconscious mind and our ner.
vous system our allies instead of our
enemies in our daily lives
The next meeting is to be held al
the home Of Mrs. Harry Butferfield

GIRL ACCUSES
FOUR; JAILED

Stories are circulated regarding oc-
curences at Kilbourn, and Sheriff Fred
Schultz, and District ATTY. Thomas
Sanderson have been spending much
time there gathering testimony, which
appear to be one of the most startling
cases that has occupied the court dock
cts in this vicinity for many years
says the Portage Register
The proceedings have developed suf-
ficiently for the arrest on confinement
in the county jail of four men, one a
Chinaman- all under $1,000 bonds to
appear before Judge Kellogg in county
court
Warrants are to be issued for others.
The state will prosecute the alleged
offenders vigorously. A girl 13 years
old is the chief witness. The girl is in
the sherlff's custody, and other arrests
may result within few hours.
The hearing of the four was held
before Justice Vogel a few days ago
at Kilbourn, and the preliminary
proceedings brought out considerable
testimony.

PETER RICHARDS
dies AT LODI
(From Thursdays daily.)

Peter Richards died at his home in
Lodi this morning, according to a
message received by DR.. III. J. Irwin
He just went to sleep" the physician
says. Old age was the cause of his
demise, the retired editor having
reached the advanced span Of 81
years.
He was born in Ohio and at Gran
Vile in that state was married, the
ceremony being performed January 2,
1855 That was 73 years ago last
January, a remarkable road for a
couple to travel
The intention was to have the marri-
age on the first day of the year but
on account of Mrs. Richards desiring
to attend the wedding of friend,
the event was postponed day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richards came to
Fond du Lac the same year in which
they were married and the next year
moved to Madison where he became
a printer on the The Wisconsin Far
mer. In 1867 they came to Baraboo
where Mr.. Richards took charge OF
the Baraboo Independent, under Col.
D. X. Noyes. One day "copy' was not
forthcoming and when Mr.. Richards
called for more, Col. Noyes said:
Make some yourself" From that
time he welded the pen and in 1874
went to Lodi where he edited the
Lodi Valley News for more than thirty
years. The paper suspended publica-
ton in 1904 since which time he led
retired life.
He loved to write and many columns
Of The Baraboo Daily and Weekly
News have been filled with interest
ing articles from his pen. He often
wrote in a reminicent vein and was
one Of the few men who was faithful
to the profession.
He leaves his venerable life COM
panion, now aged Sc and one son,
Fred Richards, who resides at st.
Louis. He is a travelling saleman.
The late Mrs H. j. Irwin of Baraboo
was daughter.
