According TO a report by the state
board of health in Wisconsin death
rates are declining in a most ido.
nounced way. 1t is signified that this
decline is in direct proportion TO the
increased attention paid to the pre-
vention of disease and mortality from
preventable causes and to the liberal
aid granted to carry on this fight.
The statistical evidence is plentiful
on this point. The health officials dill
ect attention to the fact that Wiscon
sin today has one of the lowest tuber-
culosis death rates of any state. For
1921 this rate was 1873 per 10000
population, the lowest in the states
history. Back in 1911 this mortality
rate was 1898 Although there will be
shown a considerable reduction

A few of the older residents will
remember the excitment when Pat
Wildrick was hanged by a mob at
Portage, many from Baraboo attend
ing the lynching bee of the desperate.
He had been accused of many crimes,
one of the last his being the moving
spirit behind the murder of S. S.
Gates at KilbOurn. Although Wildrick
was in Jail at the time of the murder
it was thought his pals committed the
deed and the penalty was melted out
to the one incarcerated One night
a number of Baraboo men got to-
gether. drove to Portage, gained en-
trance to the Jail by a ruse. and
promptly hanged Wildrick to a tree.
While in Portage, E. A. Gilman,
who is much interested in local his

Wildiick swung-at least it is said
to be the identical oak. On the north

The Sank County History, 1880,
has line about Captain Cook land

his boat went down, and how the
rats created conservation as they
left the hulk and scattered through
the village. In the Saturday Even

Merrick, Madison, an authority on
Wisconsin and Mississippi river steam
boat history, tells of the incident as
follows:
Side wheel boat of $40 tons built
at Sank City, Wisconsin, on the Wis
consin River in 1S49 Captain Daniel
Cook, owner and master of the old
Harris boat Otter, arrived at Sank
City in 1S49 with his boat in a sink
ing condition. Before he could get a
line fast the rats deserted his ship
in swarms just in time to- escape a
watery grave, as the crazy old hulk
went to the bottom. The citizens OF
the burg sympathiZing with Capt.
Cook and hopeful for themselves, pro-
posed To built new hull for him up
on his promise to put Sank City on
the map by running MS boat when
rebuilt, between Galena and their city
and other Wisconsin river landings,
thus giving them connection with the
outside world. Upon these considera-
lions the boat was built and called
the Tiger and Capt Cook mounted
to the roof and sailed away and has
never been seen in Sank City since
1t is said he joined an overland car
AVIAN and went to California, whence
he has never returned.

st. Paul in 1S49, from Dubuque, in
charge of Captain o. H. Maxwell,
who | think, owned her. She ran in

A recent discussion of eatables or
what constitutes a good meal serves
to remind us Of a story told of the
Ansdell family who were of the very
earliest settlers on CasselI Prairie.
They came from the north of Ireland
bringing $500 in gold. They settled
on what is now part of the Ed. Ley
kauf farm, section "a, town of Troy.
They had to wait for a crop to grow
and meanwhile supplies were brought
from Milwaukee or Mineral Point.
The AndsdelI family not being able to
eat their gold, went hungry some
times. Once all they had in the house
was some mouldy corn meal and often
the meal was pounded in a mortar.
One day when the Andsdell cupboard
was like Mother Hubbard's,, a flock
of quails came into the yard. Mr..
