coming fight for the postoffice. BY the
conditions of things political, there
will be vacancy in the job of post.
master for the good city of Baraboc
sometime next year. Who gets the
plum? That is the question. And il
one thinks Baraboo is lacking in patri-
otic blood, especially when there is a
large fat persimmon hanging within
the reach of men of good calibre, he is
mistaken. Therein lies a part of the
trouble. So many are here that have
the capacity, and their friends know it.
Were it amatter of qua lifications alone
and by common consent one candidate
had corner on that commodity then
could the matter be settled without
any strain on the political harness.
But-weli we shall see.
Whatever the outcome, Baraboo is
sure to have competent officer, for
the array of talent already qualified for
the running is certainly gratifying to
one who claims this beautiful city for
home. A competent and watchful
officer is the most important in the
whole business to the people, who have
to pay the freight. That the good SER
vice now accorded the patrons of the
new building may be continued, and
if possible improved, is the thing that
gives Zest to this kind of a contest.
For the ascendency of a certain faction
or combination is of little interest to
the great body of citizenship. Service,
not combination, is the proposition. A
survey of the field, as the racers are
lined up makes good reading for one
who takes any interest in matters that
are liable to stir the public pulse in the
near future. <@f
The lineup by candidates and their
friends is about as follows:
Arthur P. Cheek, the incumbent, has
been a very acceptable officer, His
record is beyond reproacn, ne IL vigil
liant, faithful, competent, and has held
the place eight years.
Ex-Mayor A. G. Buckley is not
being forgotten by his friends, who are
many and loyal, He is capable, honest,
and very popular. If he enters the
fight for keeps, he will prove form
idable candidate and will make some OF
the boys hustle.
S, A. Pelton has been talked OF as
possessing the proper calibre and tim
Der for the position. His record as
secretary of the fair association has
brought him much strong support. Lit
may be we'll to remember that Mr..

A GOOD Sg's IN PAY.
MENT Of A LEG
ACY TAX.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Inheritance tax amounting to $685.
35 was paid to County Treasurer Wit
Wen this morning by the heirs and
legatees of the estate of the late w. O..
Scaife, deceased. This is the largest
sum paid in on a like account this year.
The estate of the late Catharina Len
nartz, deceased, paid in S90.9S, a little
time ago.
There is quite bit of history made
in the course of the settlement of the
Scaife estate. The will was allowed
without objection and the time for ap-
peal permitted to pass. Then some
who claimed to have right of inherit
ance, made special appeal to the cir
cult court. The legatees made con-
test, alleging that the appellants were
not heirs at law and could not inherit,
even if there had been no will. The
right of the contestants was not prov
en- in court-they did not establish
their kinship after appealing, and now
the estate is up for final settlement on
the provisions of the will as first prov

Can Get
The Big Plum

Pelton is in town, and can conan and
support from every quarter.
Many of the old time friends of Ex-
Mayor Frank Avery are talking of his
availability. He certainly is not lack
ing in any of the qualities that make
a good officer, wherever he may be,
called to serve. He is a very popular
man.
| There is a strong element among the.
conservative Republicans that iS
ready to back Mayor E. G. Marriott
1t is not definitely stated that his
honor is a candidate, but if he comes,
out there will be something doing i'm
the contest
G. A. Langdon is also prominently
mentioned in connection with a pos
sible change in the administration OF
mail matters in Baraboo. There can
be no doubt of the capacity of Mr.
Langdon aud there would be no re-
PROGRESSION in the service if it were en-
trusted to his keeping.
Ex-Sheriff j, B. Ashley has always
been faithful official when entrusted
with public duties. His commercial
record is firstclass and his friends urge.
his strong executive ability as good
qualification. He has been a chairman
of the Republican county committee
for several years.
Ex-Alderman George w. Andrews
is not overlooked by large and strong.
following of friends. Should he take,
the field in earnest, he can show clean
pair of heels in the running. OF his
ability and integrity, every candidate
must make acknowledgment, however
much he might wish to speak other
wise.
j. B. Donovan is mentioned as more
than available. No citizen will ques-
ton his ability and fitness, and his.
friends are saying that he can max e.
the race lively when the proper
time comes. Mr.. Donovan is extreme-~
ly popular and possesses fine business
capacity. He would make an excel
lent officer.
The Democrats are talking about, Ssa
few favorite sons, but the chances, are,
that Democratic lightning will not,
strike the postoffice this season.
Whatever happens it is hoped thee
contest will be free from personalities
The experiences of the recentcampaign4
ought to eliminate such features from
the fight. A reunited party certainly
cannot afford such aspeetacle. Anyway,
it will be pretty contest

Another Show
for Ringlings
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

On the purchase yesterday OF Carl
Hagenbeck's trained animal circus,
the Ringling Brothers will domi1
nate the circus business in America.
Hagenbeck's circus is now in its
winter quarters at New Orleans, but
the deal by which Ringing Brothers
secured control of the big collection of
trained animals was consummated at
Baraboo, Wis, winter quarters of the
Ringling Brothers show. The finan-
cial consideration involved was not
made public but that 1t was large may
be understood from the fact that 1t re-
quires amonthly expenditureof $75 900
to maintain in winter quarters the
three shows now controlled by them.
1t Is the intention of the new propFfe-
tors of Hagenbeck IS circus to double the
collection of trained animals and put
the show on the road next season en-
tirely independent of Ringing Brothers
circus, except that it will be under the
same management. The same COM
pany now controls the Forepaugh-
Sells circus, which has winter quarters
at Columbus, Ohio.
Under the plans proposed by the
new proprietors the Hagenbeck show
will next season give employment to
!, ,150 persons and will require eighty
railroad cars to transport it through
the country, 1t is aimed to make 1t
the finest collection of trained and wild
animals in the world.
The news is authentic and lis con-
firmed by Ringing Brothers.

The completion of the new home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Al Ringing, at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Broadway
adds most substantially to the perma-

of fine residences it possesses, in which
every one is interested and which add
much to the attractiveness of city.
In the matter of design and finish Mr..
Ringing has spared no expense and
his home stands as a model of COM
mOdiousness, comfort and beauty. The
architecture is not of the design of one
particular period, but skillful COM
blnation of several forms, a style much
favored at the present time. The
structure presents commanding effect
