FIRE THREATENS
LUMBER YARD
ABLErIAN BRANCH OF THE JOHN
STON COMPANY IN DANGER
AUTO MAKES FAST RUN.

A confiagration threatened Ableman
yesterday afternoon when q barn
adjacent to the Johnston Lumber
Company's yard was burned to the
ground. By the heroic efforts of a
bucket brigade the fire was confined
to the barn which stood but sixteen feet
away from one side of the large lumber
yard. AS it was, the pine knots stood
out on the boards and the inf1ammable
wood threatened to burst into a blaze
at any moment. Had the piles Of
lumber in the ards caught fire it is
difficult to say where the damage
would have ended as undoubtedly
other surrounding buildings would
have been consumed.
E. s. Johnston, who, accompanied
by Mrs. Johnston, DR.. G. E. Getchelli
Mrs. T. M. Mould and two children
had motored to Reedsburg from here
to see the fair, was reached by telephone
from Ableman and notified of the
danger threatening the lumber yard.
Mr.. Johnstsn and party then began a
fast race for AbIeman, covering the
distance, by auto, of 8 miles over the
sandy roads in II minutes. When
they arrived the fire was under
control and the Reedsburg fire d.
partment, which had been
summoned, was notified that the
danger of general conflagration was
over. Charles Anderson, foreman of
the Johnston Lumber Company at
Ableman, had his face somewhat
blistered in fighting back the fire.
By a strange coincidence I'll. M.
Johnston, who is now in Europe, was
far away from Baraboo when previ-
Gus fire destroyed property of the
Johnston Lumber Company. AT that
time, the year of 1905, Mr.. Johnston
was in Seattle when fire destroyed
lumber, coal and sheds on the south
side, the loss amounting to $4,000.
Elmer Johnston was highly graft
fed yesterday when he reached
Ableman and found that the
yard there had been saved. During
his fathers absence, MIR. John
ston feels the responsibility of the
management of the business and
disastrous fire ould mar the prospects
for what promises to be successful
business year.

TWO GET FREE
AUTOMOBILE RIDES
PARENTS RECEIVE FINES FOR
NOT SENDING CHILDREN TO
SCHOOL.
From Saturdays Daily

Until today George Bayer of the
town of Franklin and Thomas Repka
of the town of Westfield never enjoyed
an automobile ride. This morning at 5
o'clock Sheriff Grant Dryer gave a
honk or two as he left the Jail and
soon all that one could see was cloud
of dust. He found Mr.. Bayer thresh-
ing at the home of neighbor near
Plain but he was soon on the road to
Baraboo On the way they visited the
residence of Mr.. Repka who got into
the car and came too. The cause of all
this was that the fathers had failed to
send their children to school according
TO law. A child between the ages of 2
and IA years must go at least 12O days
unless there is some valid reason. In
Justice Andro's court each paid fine
of S5 90 and costs. The total for Mr..
Bayer was $1904 and for Mr.. Repka
$17O4. The amounts they paid and
took the train for Ableman.
The officers state that several more
parents will soon be in court unless the
cases are cleared up.

SISTER DID NOT
KNOW BROTHER
FACES ARE STRANGE AFTER A.,
LAPSE OF OVER THiRTY-SIX
YEARS.

A stranger appeared at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Brown at the
IXL farm and the visitor tried
to sell Mrs. Brown pair of spectacles.
When it was found that the deal
could not be made the guest said that
his name was 2. N. Cook and that he
was a brother of Mrs. Brown. I'M
possible! She could not believe her
eyes. 1t had been 36 years since they
had seen each other and the transition
from the morning TO the afternoon of
life had wrought many changes. Mr..
Cook then proceeded to relate incidents
of other days with which Mrs. Brown
was familiar and at last she was con-
vinced that she was talking to her
brother.
The parents of Mr.. Cook and Mrs.
Brown were Postmaster and Mrs.
Caleb Cook of Dellona. Since their
son went away both parents have died.
Since Fleet, as he is familiarly known,
departed he has spent much of his
time on the plains and in the mines of
the great West. He wears heavy
gold ring, the metal coming from a
mine in which he is interested in the
Black Hills. Mrs. Brown is his only
near relative. His home is now in
Chicago.

On Friday Senator Aldrich of Rhode

Aldrich dealt with the rubber question
and in speech in Milwaukee on Fri

after the rubber trust. He says that

the same model. or one made upon
similar lines, had this feature OF the
dress outlined with narrow piece OF
skunk. making an effective costume
for skating or for afternoon street
wear.
The break in the waist is rather
pleasing, reminding one Of the line
accentuated in sailor blouses. This
one is formed by tuck with an al
most infinitesimal bit of braid show
ing on the edge and clusters OF but
tons placed on both sides so that they
alternate.
Another dress after this style was
cut with the overdress coming lower
in front and across the square end was
a band OF fur and three triangular sec
tons of heavy embroidery. When these
two kinds OF trimmings are used to-
gether il is important to have the
needlework bold in design and done
with coarse silk The finer kinds of
work are more or less lost by the ad-
dition OF the fur, even when the en-
broidery shows a contrast in color.
AS finishing touch a narrow bit OF
the fur is used sometimes on the high
standing collar.
