number of songs to help celebrate the

BARABO0 Mine
OFFICER SAYS
LAW NOT JUST
Claims Rights Are Violated By
Unconstitutional Clauses OF
Compensation Act

Complaining that certain clauses
of the workman's compensation act
are unconstitutional because they
deprive him of his constitutional and
common law right to trial by
jury and because they make aR
unjust classification of employers,
w. III. Donner, president of the
Cahoon iron mine at Baraboo Friday
appealed to Judge Stevens Of the cir.
cult court to reverse the decision OF
the industrial commission in this case
brought against him by John Victor
Johnson, formerly a minor employe
in his mine. d
Johnson was injured in the mine
March 81, 1919, and applied for
treble compensation, claiming that
he was less than Is years of age
when hurt. After hearing the evil
dence the compensation amounted to
$1,345.
Mr.. Donner, in his appeal, claims
that Johnson lied as to his age when
seeking employment, that his COM
pany had always refused to employe
should not be held liable for the pay
ment of treble compensation. He
asks the court to find that the com
missions decision was made in excess
of it's powers and that the award be
limited to single compensation.

Large Decreases In Expected State
Totals Reported; Some Crops
Show Good Growth


A decrease of 100000 bushels in
the prospective production of corn
in wisconsin and 100000 bushels of
potatoes has resulted from the
drought of the last three weeks of

tent by leaf-hoppers, though not as
seriously as year ago
Tobacco, while still short, is in
thrifty condition, especially in the
northern counties. In the Dane

M. W. A. AND R.
!. n. A. HOLD MEET
In Spite of the Rain Scheduled
Program Is Carried Out to
Letter

About three or four hundred mem
bers of the Modern Woodman and
Royal Neighbors of this city met at
Ochsners park Thursday afternoon
and in spite of the rain carried out
the program set for the day.
The picnic dinner was served at
one o'clock but the rain held many
away for lunch. Most of the members
waited until two o'clock and were
present at the opening of the program
in the band stand. A. S. Kingsford
acted as master of ceremony and an
nounced the program.
Mrs. J. M. Kelly and d. J. Roberts
entertained with piano and vocal Sc
lections. Rev. C. III Skinner gave the
invocation.
Congressman j. J. Esch OF La
Crosse was introduced and spoke on
Fraternal and Brotherhood as ex-
emplified by the Modern Woodmen.
He said since the beginning of civil
ilization there have been secret or
ders for the purpose Of working out
plans for the betterment Of humanity,
and the present day secret orders are
for fraternal purposes, by the Ameri-
can idea Of the fraternal order is
shown by the Woodman, not alone for
friendly purposes, but business as well
This was accomplished in 1883 when
the order was organized and added
the insurance feature as well as the
fraternal. The result has been such
that the order has become the largest,
having 1,046,000 members, and there
is drive on to add another 100000
by next year at this time. He said
the members cannot well help being
better citizens by belonging to such
fraternal orders. These orders teach
patriotism, and right BOW this coun-
try is greatly in need of such teach
ing.
Although people were obliged to
hold their umbrellas during the half
hours talk, they enjoyed it very much

house to take an automobile ride
with Mr.. and Mrs. e. E. Smith who
reside next door to the Davis home.
Mr.. Davis went into the kitchen TO
see if the door was clssed and while
there Mrs. Davis heard him fall. Hur-
rying to the room she found her hus-
band dead. Death had come without
an instant warning, a great shock IN
the home and to all who knew him.
He had not been in normal health for
a number of months but was able to
visit his Office daily. Heart disease
was the cause of his death.
In Business Many Years
Mr.. Davis was in business in Bara-
boo for many years. Thirty years ago
he was the senior member Of the
firm of J. w. Davis & Co., general
merchandise, the late G w. Whitman
being his partner. Later he was as
sociated with M. l.. Patterson and
still later with the late J. P. Sprecher.
For some time, also he was with for
mer Postmaster Ransom Jackson.
A number of years ago he sold his in
terest in the store to Mr.. Sprecher

business with c. F. Cooley of Madi-
son. The Baraboo firm has been
doing large business.

nee Eva Hoxie, survives The late
former Sheriff Charles Davis was a
brother.
Mr.. Davis was a member Of the Ma
sonic organizations. With the mem
bers he often attended meetings in
the neighboring cities.
He was a man who had many
friends. His genial nature and unfail-
ing kindness brought him numberless
pleasant companionships.
An early resident of the city, he
knew something of the hardships OF
life in pioneer days, when the stage
coach rambled over the bluffs in
stead of the automobile and railroads
were few in Wisconsin. He lived to
see and enjoy the luxuries of new
generation and often remarked up
on the changes that had come within
his memory. He was always interest
ed in enterprises of local nature
and optomistic as to the city's advan-
cement. He has served well, he has
carried his banner cheerily and leaves
a memory of valuable citizenship to
the community.
The sympathy of many friends goes
out to the sorrowing wife in her loss.
