claimed the right to name
the post Office when establish
ed. He greatly admired John
Quincy Adams, once president of
the United States, and called the
new Office Adams. There were
many postoffices by that name in
the United States and the depart
ment at Washington asked that
the name be changed. At that
time there was considerable rivalry
between the two sections of the
village, upper and lower town, and
Miss Eliza Chapman remembers
how Lyman Clark would stop the
stage at his hotel where Ruhland's
brewery now stands, in order to
procure his mail before it reached
the Office over the river.
When it was decided to change
the name, what shall we call it?"
was the next question. The village
was then in the town of Brooklyn
and an effort was made to give it
that name. That part of the vii
lage near the river or under the
hill' was known as Baraboo or Bara-
boo Mills and finally in; 1852 the ques-
tion of naming the town was settled
tor once and no doubt for all time
to come.
The First Mail.
At the time the office was estab-
lished Prescott Brigham resided on
the East Sauk road on Sauk Prairie
and near the bluffs. He contracted
to carry the mail and made weekly
trips during fair weather but dur
ing the fall and winter often did
not put in his appearance more
than once a fortnight. Often the
mail came across the hills on the
back of an Indian pony which is in
1
deed quite a contrast to the great
iron monster which now snorts
through the beautiful Baraboo val
lev scattering epistolarY favors and
the great dailies fresh from the
lightning presses.
The First Postmaster.
March s, 1847, DR.. Seth P. Angle
was appointed postmaster. Just
where he had his Office is uncertain.
Victor Peck of Madison, and others
remember that it was near the
Daniel Kelsey blacksmith shop on
Water street. The office was locat-
ed between the corner of Ash and
Water streets and the Kelsey home
at number 1873 Water street. Mr..
Kelsey's shop on that side of the
street was where the Rutland
shop is located at the present time
and the Office was no doubt just
east of this on the lot now vacant.

Gov. Johnson's address Of vel
come was eloquent and evidently
sincere, and Commander.in- Chief
Tanner made a most eloquent
reply. His ready wit and excel
lent sense Of the eternal fitness
Of things made his address
sparkling, effective and highly
appreciated. He said, THE pres
ent peace and unity Of the coun-
try was what we fought FOR and
what we all thanked God for to-
day" He paid a tribute 70 Gen.
r. E. Lee, but thought if this
great southern leader could have
looked into the future he proba-
bly, would not have taken the
stand he die, but would have seen
that the plans and purposes Of
the confederacy would have re
tarded rather than advanced the
great cause of Christian civiaza-
tion.
But / have already said per
hsps enough. In conclusion viii
say that the provisions made for
the comfort and convenience Of
the old soldiers could not be ex-
celled. Seats were provided ev-
erywhere and ice water on every

WINLOCK, Wash, May 20.-The
Northern Pacific Railway Company has
plans drawn for large new depot at
this place. The company's business hav-
ing more than doubled in the last year,
the old quarters are much too small.
The railway company will also put in
several hundred feet of new sidetracks,
and will bear half the expense Of re-

on the railroad right Of way. Work of
replanking will begin at once.
