PRA. DU CHEN
MANSION SOLD
Home Of Aristocracy to
Be Country Club.
(From the Pra. du CHEN Press.)

(From the Pra. du CHEN Press,)
After nearly a century in the same
family, the Louis Dousman villa, or
Mansion" as it is often called, has
been sold to parties in Dubuque and
Chicago 1t is an old landmark of this
city and the new owners will remodel
it into a country club, it is said. The
tract. of land extends from the Miss
issippi river east to the slough, and
consists of about so acres of land, in
Guiding a half mile race course with
cushion track, the villa, servants
quarters, barns and other buildings.
A strong artesian we'll supplies the
water for the house and swimming
pool in the yard. The grounds were
originally beautifed by all kinds of
shrubbery, the work of landscape
artist, making a rare beauty spot that
was kept up during the Dousman re-
gime in an ideal manner.
Nearly half century ago the Dous-
mans kept a stable of blOOded race
horses and their track was the scene
of many a heated contest that was
witnessed by enthusiastic crowds in
even those early days. The old horse
barn, large brick structure, was
burned few years ago and smaller
barn was erected in its stead.
Last year a committee from the
City Club took up the matter of pur-
chasing the property for fair grounds
purposes. A price on the property
was secured and a committee ap-
pointed to solicit for the sale of stock
in a fair association. The committee
became discouraged early because
certain mOneyed men Of the city did
not take a liberal amount Of stock
and on account of the greatly de-
pressed money market it was decided
to postpone action until later. Fin
ally H. H. Craig after some CORES
pondence got even better figure on
the property than was ever offered
before and another attempt was made
to revive the fair proposition but to
no avail. Along came Arthur Leary
of Dubuque, the other day, and saw
the beauty Of the place, also the OBJ
portunity for a country club He I'M
mediately bought it for a song for
Dubuque and Chicago parties VINO
will thoroughly overhaul the place
for country club and aviation field.
There is some talk that the race
track may be reconstructed and fixed
up for race meets. The new pro-
prietors made a cleanup of at least
$4,000 when the ygot possession OF
this estate, for they paid less than a
third of what the property cost.
They are negotiating with w. A.
Johnson for the purchase OF his l06
acres lying north of the Dousman
property which will give sufficient
land for fine golf course.

PIG And CALF
CLUB SUCCESS

The Glen Haven-North Andover
communities report fine success with
their boys and girls pig and calf
clubs. Good results have also been
reached with grain and potatoes but
in general the children prefer to work
with something that is alive That
this work will be of inestimable value
to the boys and girls in their future
activities in later years goes without
saying. This fall number Of young
folks fitted stock for the show at Mad
ison. Things worked out well and the
offerings aside from winning prizes
sold we'll on the market. Since then
someone has proposed that Lancaster
with it's pavilion would be an excell-
ent place for shows Of this nature
and the plan now is to extend the club
work and have livestock shows here.
This would obviously be great saw
ing of time and expense.

SEVERAL Wild
PIGEONS SEEN
AT BEET0WN
Farmers Who Know De-
clare the Birds Are
Real Thing.

Is the wild pigeon Of pioneer days
extinct? Or are the stories of the
species being seen nowadays a myth?
Such stories bob up with frequency
and true or not they serve to keep
alive one of the most interesting
forms OF wild lite as the pioneer knew
it. Certain it is that the famous wild
pigeon Of the old days whose great
numbers darkened the sky in their an
nual migrations has disappeared.
But why, on the other hand, do 0rni-
biologists contend so persistently t2at
the bird is not only rara avis but en-
tirely extinct? Anyhow-bere's the
story:
James FARMLAND and Thos Lou
thain, BeetOwn farmers, claim they
nave seen good sized focks of wild
pigeons on their farms in the past
few weeks. FARMLAND says he saw
a flock while he was shredding corn
three of four weeks ago. The flock
had about twenty birds in it. Mr.
F'rankland knew the wild pigeon in the
early days and claims there is no
doubt but what the birds he saw are
Of the same type Mr. LOuthain saw
ten or twelve birds that he is sure are
wild pigeons at numerous times
But this isn't all-Frank TebO,
another well-known farmer, says he
has seen the Beetown wild pigeons
numerous times Frank says the I'M
learned call the birds wild doves"
but they are simply unlearned and
unfamiliar with the famous species.
Do wild pigeons still exist? Stories
are frequently adoat that rare fiOck8
of the bird of pioneer days are still
in existence. AS is well known this
county in the early days was COM
mon habitat of these birds. Anyhow,
Mr.. FARMLAND, Mr.. Louthain and Mr..
Tebo and others living in the wooded
recesses Of Beetown say on their oath
they have seen them. The story is an
interesting one

Mineral Point NouU
Hos Bathing Beach

Mineral Point now has a lake. The
work of building the dam and pre-
pairing the grounds is nearly com
pleted The water has been turned
in and will soon have a depth of 8
feet or more. Work is in progress on

war, Spanish American war and the
World war Memorial trees will be

Horse Goes Mad;
Bites Mate; Killed

: A grey horse owned by VIM. Brock
meyer of Patch Grove twp, Grant
county, went mad biting a mate. The
crazed horse broke it's halter and bit
the other horses in the barn and when
let out seized chickens, killing them
1t then began to run in a circle, bit
ing huge chunks of flesh from the
body. The only recourse was to kill
it. 1t is assumed that the horse was

VETERAN SCOUTS ORGANIZING

Countrywide interest is being
aroused in the effort to register all
boy scouts and scout workers, eligible
for membership, In the Veteran Scout
association. This Is a new develop
ment which promises to be Of great
significance in scouting. Membership
in this association is open to all first
class scouts and to all scout officials
of total Of five years service. Here
tofore the organization of this associ-
alton has been rather loose, but of
late there has been movement, which
is now rapidly spreading, to organize
the veteran scouts of each city into
corps. 1t is estimated that nearly
$4,000 men and older boys are eligible.
The Veteran Scout Corps Of Phil
adelphia is now, perhaps, the most
fully developed Of any. Horace p.
Kern, assistant scout executive, de-
scribes 1t in part as follows:
"The local members of the Veteran
Scout association have organized
themselves into a corps which holds
regular sessions twice year. At
each Of these sessions some entertain
ment feature Is provided, or program
of "reminiscences besides these regular
sessions. An interesting feature OF
the organization of the corps is the
class plan by which are listed in the
same group all who became veterans
the same year; for instance. we have
the classes of 1915. 19l6, etc. Each
one of these classes is organized with
a chairman, and has agreed TO under
take some service to scouting in gen.
eral The corps, as whole, has Of
fered its service TO aid new scout
masters or to act temporarily for
scoutmasters who may be called away
from their troops"
Many other councils have organ
lied, or are planning to do so along
these lines. This gives national plan
for organizing which will retain the in
terest of the older boys. This Is
something the need for which has
long been felt and which promises
to do much to strengthen the effective
ness of scouting. Plans are now being
considered for the Standardization or
the local veteran scout corps, and for
their definite registration at the ma
tional scout office.

CHAPTER VI-continued.

So this was the vision he had volun-
tcered to meet aboard La Estrellita'
and by specious lie and hypocritic
mien, turn her back from the portals
Of Buenaventura to that dear old
United States which. Billy suddenly
recalled with poignant pain, Is a siz'

may very readily lie lost forever. With
the quick eye of youth. he noted that
Dolores was perfectly wonderful In q

buck boots, white panama hat with q
gorgeous puGgaree, mannish little
linen collar, and red four-in-hand
tie. From under that white hat peeped
profuson OF crinkly brown hair with
slightly reddish tinge TO Il; her eyes
were big and brown and wide apart,
with golden flecks in them; their
glance met Billy's hungry gaze simply,
directly, and with curiosity there
was no attempt to hide Her nose
was patrician; her beautiful short up
per lip revealed the tips of two per-
feet, milk-white front teeth: she was,
Billy Geary told himself, n goddess
before whom all low, worthless, ornery
fellows like himself should grovel and
die happy, If perchance she might be
so minded as to walk on their faces
He was aroused from his critical in
ventory when the houri spoke again:
