The last snow was not OF much
account for sleighing, having blown off
the roads in come places and drifted badly
in others, rendering travel for either
sleighs or wheeled vehicles anything but
enjoyable.

ness, which will be found in another

The lucky ticket that drew the Den
mis- lot at the st. Bernard fair was sold
to George Wilder by Tom. McCabe at the
ST. Paul depot. 1t was the last ticket of
a number Mr. McCabe had to SELL
Before selling it to Mr.. W. he implcred
several of his friends to purchase it and
these individuals are now kicking them
selves for not listening to his earnest
appeals Such is luck
The following will be read with
interest by many here as a number CT
young men from this city served in the
First Cayaly:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, January S-The
18th day of April has been selected as the
time for the First Wisconsin Cavalry to
celebrate its first reunion, this date hay
ing been selected because it is the ami
versary of the battle of West Point, Ala,
in which the First Wisconsin Cavalry
took a very prominent and active part.
Sheriff Richter, of ST. Paul, who was a
member of the LIST Wisconsin Cavalry, has
been instrumental in arranging for this
anniversary, and to bring it about he has
had very extensive correspondence
with nearly all the survivors Of the regi =
ment. The reunion will probably be
held at Ripon.
"A dispatch dated Madison. January
u, says:
When the Baraboo Air line was built
Madison subscribed for $4,000 in stock
to aid in its construction. The road was
absorbed in the Northwestern. 1t has
developed now that the stock is practically
worthless. The officials of that road,
when they figure up the earnings over
that part of the line, always find de-
felt, and, of course, no dividend is paid.
In fact since the road was built. fifteen
years ago, the deficit over the line has
been 100000, it is claimed. President
Keep, however, has offered to give the
city per cent. Of IA e value for the
stock. He says he does this in order to
obYiate the expense arising out of keeping
separate accounts regarding this piece Of
road and the entire line. As matter OF
fact, some of the heaviest business of
that system IS passed over the Baraboo
line, and how deficit always results is a
puzzle 10 some.
