Chas. A. Dyke, who is the nom
partisan candidate for city treas
urer, spent the greater part of
his youth in Madison and when still
a young man he was enga ged as a
telegraph operator for the North
western railway at Madison. In
1874 he came to Baraboo, and the
following fourteen years he was en-
ployed in the general railway office
of the Northwestern company-the
first nine years as train dispatcher,
and during part of that time he
was the chief operator of the Madi-
son division and manager for the
Western Union telegraph office in
this city. During the last five
years of service he acted as clerk
for r. A. Cowan, who was then as
sistant superintendent of the Madi-
son division. From the railroad
office Mr.. Dyke went to the First
National ba nix in this city, where
he acted as a clerk and later filed
the position of assistant cashier.
Later he was teller in the Bank of
Baraboo for about two years.
A. J. Gemmill is the republican
candidate for police justice. After
James L. Bonham resigned from

Mayor E. @. Marriott has made
such a good business administra-

riott has had considerable experience
with municipal affairs while alder

There are 224 unions in Wisconsin

The state officers who met in Bar
aboo were selected at a meeting

is to maintain prices and the key

Secretary Kump says that in the
past he has sold tobacco as low as 3
cents a pound and as high as IL
cents while the price of cigars re-
manied at five cents or more. He
did not believe there should be such
wide difference on the raw pro-
duct and the whole aim is to stim-
ulate and regulate prices. The to-
bacco and cotton growers all over
the country have done great deal
for the producers in these lines and
it is the intention to extend the in
fuence of the society to all farm
products.

The Builders
Of BarabOO.
(By Elbridge D. Jackson, Minneapolis, Minn)

in those primitive days and for some
time no post office was needed.
But there was something doing all
the time just as always has
been to the present time. The first
post office was near the present
site of the Y. M. G. A. building and
from that day to this has been ever
on the move according to the whim
or business judgment of each sue
ceeding official having charge over
it's destiny. Purdy had a real
Yankee turn for many things and
was successful in a way in each.
He could take charge of the in
terror furnishing of fine houses and
do it better than the owner or his
wife. This was so with the house
of banker Thomas which is still
standing and nowise out of keeping
with it's neighborhood. PurdY
selected and put down the first
carpets, installed the furniture
and even had the fires going in the
many open CRATES giving welcome
to the owner and his family as they
came into possession of their own.
Mrs. Purdy was the better man of
the two as was sometimes remark
ed; she had energy and intelligence
unusual. Both were in middle life
at this time, and where she was
things had to move. Her appear
ance on the street was pleasing,
well proportioned, of medium size,
a face of unusual brightness and
almost handsome. Her hair was
sandy with complexion to match
and cheeks always bearing the
peach bloom. No one who had ever
beheld her could possibly forget.
Many will recall Lon Purdy, the
son ;he learned the druggists calling
with DR.. B. F. Mills. Lon was a
wag in his way and had good deal
of his mothers qualities. It was
said that rather than split kindling
to build morning fires at the drug
store. he would saturate the ashes
with oil. | think this practice like
almost all things dangerous, finally
resulted in an accident which seri-
ously singed the young mans
phiziognomy to his chagrin if not

Much interest was developed at
the city primaries held in Baraboo,
March 20 and nearly 800 votes we're
cast. There was no general con-
test except between W. B.Hazeltine
and Davis Hackett, for city treas
urer, and Hazeltine won by score
of 262 to 50. Chas. Dyke as a nom
partisan received 20 votes.
Other interesting contests we're
decided in favor of Chas. Hirschinger

receiving 1873 votes to IS for D.

With the down east people the
current of settlement in Wisconsin
was from the southern part of the
state northward. The Rock river
valley was a favorite landing place
on arrival from the up-lake passage
at Milwaukee. There is no wonder
in this when we recall what Mr..
Greely of the N. Y. Tribune said
of this part of the northwest,
that it was one great garden.
But later arrivals soon discovered
that the sooners had already ap-
propriated these lands, and they
must look elsewhere if at all.
Fortunately necessity was most kind
in this that the new discoveries
even surprised what they reluc-
tantly had to leave behind. This
was so with the site of Baraboo
and the adjacent country. After
George Brown had discovered this
and returned to Whitewater in the
middle forties, many people of his
acquaintance and friendship caught
the inspiration of this brave young
pioneer and straightwav betook
themselves with their belongings to
the Baraboo valley.
A lengthy list might here be
made of these people who after
wards became CONSPICUOUS in the
subsequent annals of that commun-
itY, but space admits the enumera-
tion of just few. One was B. L.
Purdy, a cabinet maker from
Whitewater. He was obliged to go
barefoot much of the time from
sheer necessity. He was fortunate
like most men in having a wife
willing to do even more than her
part. Their first occupation at
Baraboo was in running a boarding
house for Delando Pratt who had
many workmen in his employ. The
building was made of rough lumber
and filled with saw-dust between
the studding to take place of lath
and plaster. But Purdy was more
than cabinet maker or boarding
house keeper; he had a turn for
public affairs and became one of
the first post masters of Baraboo.
There was very little mail matte
