SPENDS NIGHT HERE

Robert Baker, Boy Scout of
Arcanum, Ohio, hiking alone to Vel
lowstone Park, spent Sunday night
in Glen Park.
Although on "hike,' Bob isr't
adverse to accepting rides, as his
main object is to get to the Park and
back home, so, as he freely adriits,
he's doing most of his hiking in
the cars of kind hearted tourists.
He had covered about 1000 miles
when he reached here, and he pre-
dicted that along Trail II he felt
certain of getting enough lifts to
bring him to the Park for the Fourth.
He plans to get back to his Ohio
home some time in August.
Robert declared that the scenery
in this part of Wisconsin was the
most beautiful he had seen on the
whole trip, and he thought Glen
Park an ideal spot.

by charge set of that which he was
carrying. Other than that the ex-
plosion cannot be accounted for.

chances of recovery. The extent of
his injuries could not be learned.

CAST LONGING EYES
AT SENATE T0GA

Forces are being lined up for the
free-for-all race which is to deter
mine the successor to the late Robert
NJ. La Toilette in the United States
Senate.
Press agents are feverishly clam
oring for free space for their clients,
and every move which can be inter-
preted into something Of public in
terest concerning any and every
senate possibility" is being utilized
as a bid for newspaper headlines.
Blaine's force is working overtime,
but Robert, Jr., appears to have the
governor sidetracked for the time
being, and if left out Of this Blaine
is doomed to political oblivion.
Frear is cautiously working into
the field, but receives no enthusiastic
backing, apparently, from any other
source.
Loss Of socialists support is the
chief problem with which the old
bloc now has to contend, and the mat
ter is left to drift until something
can be thot up to cement this valu-
able alliance.

RAILROAD JACK" HAS
AN AMAZING MEMORY

Railroad jack" an eccentric of
nomadic inclinations, spent several
days here last week displaying his
really marvellous memory in return
for whatever contributions his aud
fences cared to give.
Dates and episodes of history were
asked of him in quick succession, but
he was never stumped, giving the
correct answers always, and often
adding an entertaining line of
humorous observation for good
measure.
Given the day of the month and
the year, Railroad Jack" without
a moments hesitation, will name the
day of the week of anyone's birth
day, and he has a great variety of
other mental "astonishers' which
keep his audience in wondering
throughout his program.
Jack asked The Journal to ex-
press his appreciation Of the splendid
manner in which he was received
here, and to inform the people eff
this community that he found River
Falls one of the most hospitable
cities on his route. He says that he
is now returning to Madison, which
he calls "home," to brush up a bit"
on more historical data, and hopes to
return here later and give an enter
tainment in the school auditorium.
An invitation has been issued to
him to appear here as one of the en-
tertainment features planned for
raising Stock Show funds.
