Ryan is survived by two additional
daughters, Mrs. A. L. Haman,. st.

Mrs. Ryan celebrated her S8th
birthday March 9th, this year and
the event was heralded with much
Joy and many surprises for her.

many friends in the form of flowers
cards, kilograms and personal mes
sages. Even radio broadcasting

Here BY OK Team
The Ryans came to Baraboo
April 49, 1866 and opened the jew
elry store here the same year.
Transportation at this time was
very long and tedious. The cou-
pie came from New Hampshire to
Buffalo by train, then by boat to
Chicago, from Chicago by boat
again to Beloit. At this time there
was no train further on the journey
so stage was taken to Madison and
Portage. From Portage the cou-
pie made the journey here by OK
team. They were ferried across
the Wisconsin river and encounter
ed many swamps along the way.

Monday afternoon at $3.50 from the

ready arrived for the services is
Mrs. r. Raschefsky of Milwaukee

COLUMBIA
FAIR DEBT IS
A HEAVY One

A large percent of the 500 stock
holders of the Columbia county fair
association attended the meeting
Tuesday in the business mans room
and council chambers at the city
hall in Portage.
A committee, consisting of P. w,
Mackenzie of Poynette, DR., w. G.
lockwood of Portage and Senator
George Staudenmayer was appoint
ed to take inventory of the fair
buildings and the assets of the as
sociation to find out what the fair
association possess. They will re-
view the situation and suggest
some of the best methods of put
ting the fair on firm basis again
and of paying the stockholders who
assumed about $4,000 of the asso-
citation debts.
Attention was called to the fact
that some of the creditors of the
association were men who had
spent much time and effort at the
fair, such as the contractors and
.arpenters. and the Portage band.
1t is the general opinion that the
fair should not be sold to pay Of
the debts, and thus place it in the
hands of private. interests.
The meeting was adjourned sub
ject to the call OF DR.. A. L. Wood
president of the association, who
presided at the meeting Tuesday
The repost of the investigating
committee will be read at the next
meeting.

At the regular meeting of the XII
wants club, Wednesday noon at the
Warren hotel former State Senator
r. M. Wilcox Of the state industrial

things that his department is en-
deavoring to do. He said the az
erage citizen did not realize the
breadth of work being done nor
the necessity Tor the administra.
ton of the law.
The speaker said that the opposi-
tfon which had to be met was near
ly always from people who did not
understand the situation. He gave
as an illustration an accident at
Fond du Lac where man lost a
portion of his finger. The owners
of the mill objected to paying 1886.
and. to have guard placed at the
saw but when the matter was care
fully gone over they were very glad
that. the commission had insisted
on the necessary precaution being
taken so that accidents in the fu-
ture could not occur.
Senator Wilcox laughed at the
idea Of the statement which had
been made that there was an in
sncctor in the state for every fence
post" In order to have proper
sanitation, proper wages, hours not
too fatiguing, no blind alleys and
other elements Of good for the
workers no more inspectors, were
employed than necessary. He
thought the laws in this state We're

There was on thing to which he
was opposed and that is the cree
ton of large tanks, tenement hous-
es, and other undesirable improme-
ments on lots adjacent to residence
property.

mission has an appropriation of

In order to adjust compensation
there must be thousands of hear

AS. a result of death and injury in
Wisconsin the total days lost in q
