Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1922-06-22


ed from Ansel N. Kellogg, who in
vented so-called patent-insides for
| newspapers, a most historic circum-
stance. in this very city. Soon after
the war opened four years before,
his only printer, ]. /. Werlich. had
enlisted and left him short landed.
Mr.. Kellogg was driven to the neces-
sity Of which led to his great enrich
ment later. He now announced that
he would shortly open an Office In
Chicago for printing the In
sides or the local newspapers
in the New Country Journal
style" Having embarked in the en-
prise Mr.. Kellogg averred that he
didn't mean to make a halfway thing
OF it,. This plan, now in successful
operation, was "practiced by &c news
papers is Wisconsin alone" he said.
Mr.. kellogg was a Baraboo publisher
for nearly six years. His system de-
velped enormously until thousands of
patent-inside papers were used throu-
ghout the country, a very consider
able number in places where, except
for Keliogg's cheaper method, could
not have existed at all, with an in
calcuably important educational in
fluence; for it is admitted that news
papers, even the smallest, are of high
value in stimulating learning through
the mere process Of being read. OF Mr..
Kellogg, we OF Baraboo we'll know
that, by virtue of his happy concep-
tion he acquired a generous fortune,
with portion of which this commu-
nifty has been favored. 1t fell to Mr..
Brandenburg's lot to learn the print
ing art in Kellogg's old Baraboo Office,
some fifteen or twenty years after Mr..
| Kellogg's departure to wider fields,
and himself to supervise the editing
of patents, both English and Ger
man, for a decade or to after 1890,
in connection with his general publish
ing business in Madison.
Along in the summer OF '65 one
c. M. Miller begged to announce"

, ing" hair was accomplished Gin
good style. On bobbing he was as ST.
lent as would have been Miss Della
Draper, dancing teacher some ten
years later on the hesitating gyra-
lions that pass for dancing in this
later era.
Prof. E. F. Hobart of BaraDoo had
, the honor of giving the annual adj
dress before the alumni at the Beloit
college commencement, and force
fully advocated the study of English
and American history and literature
as best adapted to promote intellectu-
al and moral progress, admirable suit
ed to answer the disciplinary ends of
education, to induce the kind Of
thinking required for the practical
life and the development of the aesthe
teal part of our nature. How widely
varient is this from the vocational cpl
demic of today!
