Madison, Wis June 16.--Politics is
| quiet except for an occasional unim-
| portant outbreak from some irritated
| fellow whose toes have been stepped
on. The governor himself has sensibly
| withdrawn to one of the Madison lakes
| for rest season and the balance of
us will quiet down for few months
| before taking up arms again.
| 1t is said those who should know
| that Governor LaFollette's plan is to
run for the senate in Quarles' place
| and not for the governors chair again.
| He probably doesn't care to be govern
| or again, as he has enjoyed it's tradf-
! tional honors; and he would run
| against some third term" sentiment.
AS for his reforms, primary elections
| is now for the people to accept or re-
| ject; ad yalorem taxation is an estab-
| lished fact. Only the railway freight
rate commission bill is yet in the air.
! This is for the legislature to achieve.
F, For Governor LaFollette to go to
Washington as senator and leave the
| state to work out this railway reform
| measure might subject him to some
| criticism; but if he runs for governor
| again he will be criticised, so what's
| the odds? No doubt he will put up the
| best fight he possibly can for a rail
| way commission in the next campaign.
| Then me other leaders and the people
| themselves must do the rest LaFol-
| lette will be in Washington if his plans
! GO not fail.
Some One Else for Governor.
The plan is said to be for Governor
| LaFOllette to run some one else for
| governor and devote himself to getting
erence to the senate. The last will
| be easier for him than the first. 1t is
| useless to deny that he had the last
| legislature well in hand--a majority
| OF the members elect; and had the cleo
| ton of Spooner's successor been at the
end of the session, instead Of at the
beginning, some believe LaFollette
| could have won out. So he may be
able to control the next legislator es-
| pecially by combinations on the gov
ernorship. LaFollette may see fit not
| TO strain the fractional issue by pun
| ting in the field an extreme partisan;
| he may name some moderate and so
| obscure the line of bitterness and con.
fuse the issue. The ways of politicians
are past finding out
| Senator Quarles is making an admir-
allie senator and he is doing something
to keep in touch with the voters. One
event is a speech at the Waupaca
ChautauQua during the summer.
Baraboo Railway Center.
Baraboo is an important little city
Of $500 people. division headquarters
on the Chicago and Northwestern rail
way, thirty-seven miles from Madison.
1T is a place of remarkable beauty, III,

great Wisconsin. High Diuf7s on either
side will repay climb. 1t has some
wide streets and cleditable business
blocks, the county court house area
in the heart of the city being the feat

is near the iron finds of North Free
dom and many of the citizens are tax
ing a financial interest in the numer-
Gus companies being organized to eX-
plot the farm lands leased or bought
at from 800 to 5000 an acre, and on
which deposits are supposed to be To-
Gated. There is no question of good
ore there; it is being taken out daily.
The question, as usual, is, one of ex-

Home of the Circus.
Every one associates Baraboo with
the Ringing Bros, show. The boys
began many years ago with a modest
exhibit of dogs and cats, with pins
instead of money for admission fee.
The thing grew on them They took
it to adjoining towns. There are six
or seven brothers and one or two of
them Were clever as tumblers and
athletes. The residents of The town
tell amusing stories of the early days
of the show. Now it is a big thing.
1t opens in Chicago very early every
spring for couple Of weeks and then
goes so tn. The winter quarters are
substantial buildings. some of them
brick. One of them we saw had the
corner walls literally kicked out by a
female elephant in birth pangs The
wall is now bound by an iron clamp.
1t is said to be an interesting sight
to see the animals transferred from the
| wagons to the fixed cages. Practice
goes on in the winter months, one
building being devoted to a sawdust
ring for the horses Some of the
brothers have elaborate and beautiful
homes in Baraboo, for the circus bust
ness has proved profitable. One Of
these homes has a large organ built
into it, the owner having artistic and
literary tastes.
