tors by direct vote of the people In
the indirect way suggested by the
Husting resolution, and which was
the subject Of discussion by Col.
Roosevelt at Madison, was passed in
the senate Friday morning by a vote
of II to s, after one of the most spirited
debates that has occurred in that body
this winter. The bill provides that a
candidate for the legislature may make
one of two statements in relation to his
position on this subject of the election
of senator. One statement is that he
will abide by the majority of the votes
of the people in the primary, and the
other is that he will consider the vote
of the people advisory only and will

OVERCOAT SHOWS
UP AS DEAD MAN
Passenger is Deceived
While Travelling on
Night Train.

About midnight Thursday night
the cry of a dead man rang through
the general office at the depot, the
despatch coming over the wire from
a passenger on train 511, which had
arrived at North Freedom. The corpse,
as the message read, lay beside the
track about a mile west Of the Baraboo
depot.
An ambulance consisting of ca
boose and the north end switching
engine was made in an instant and
with Switc1man Doyle as pilot start
ed for the scene. On arriving at the
place the men walked boldly to the
the spot where the spectacle lay, and
instead of discovering dead body
they were astonished to find ragged
overcoat.
The ambulance hurried back to the
depot with the good news and soon
everyone had settled down to his
work again.

GOLLMAR BROS. Wis n.
CIRCUS PARADE
FINE FEATURE
Excellent Show will Be
Seen in Baraboo Sat-
urday May 6.

The GolImar Brothers Show which
exhibits in Baraboo, Saturday, May 6,
features everything connected with it,
from the street parade to the concert.
The press of other cities have made
only the most favorable comment for
Golimar Brothers parade. Even when
the show visits territory where it has
never been, its magnificent street pa
geant so agreeably surprises the pub
lie that they are sure to crowd the
immense tents.
1t is in the parade that the manage
ment of a circus can show to good ad-
vantage the stability and character of
the aggregation. If it is cheap con-
Germ, giving only ordinary performan-
ces, its parade Will tell the tale. If it
is really meritorious the street display
will demonstrate the fact. The splen-
did equipment of the great Gollmar
Brothers Circus is shown to excellent
advantage in the big parade, and it is
always complimented The horses are
in fine trim, and the tableaux, wagons,
dens, cages, and chariots are resplen-
IDENTIFY decorated with costly carvings,
gilt and varnish. An unusually large
number of dens are open in the parade,
and the general public is given free
exhibition of fine array of wild ami
mails. All in all, it is pronounced by
many, the finest and best circus dis
play ever seen upon any streets. But
it is in the circus perform mance that
the show excels.
The parade of the Gollmar Brothers
Show will start from the lot at 10
o'clock sharp, and traverse the prin-
cipal streets.

JOY IN W|GWAN!
WAMPUM PLENTY!
Uncle Sam Pays His
Wards in Portage--All
Pleased.

Bright hued blankets and shawls
lent unusual color to the streets of
Portage Monday as a considerable
party of Winnebago Indians gathered
at the city hall to receive from their
great white Uncle Sam the semi-an-
nual payment due them as his wards.
The amount distributed to each
buck, squaw and papoose for the six
months was $11.66. Over sixty such
shares were paid at Portage. Pay
ment was made by l.. M. Compton,
superintendent Of the Indian school at
Tomah, special disburslng officer,
who came to Portage, accompanied
by the agency clerk, A. p. Jones of
Black River Falls. Other payments
were made at Black River Falls,
Tomah, La Crosse, Wittenberg, Grand
Rapids and Mauston.
"There are 1924 Winnebagoes on the
Wisconsin pay roll, ;" said Supt. Comp
ton. lit gives me satisfaction to say
that there has been less drunkenness
and disorder among these Indians at
time of payments and during the bal
ance OF the past year than for many
years before. We came to Portage to
pay because this point is convenient
for many of the Indians, and the
share of each being small it would be
a hardship to compel them to travel
far to receive the bit of cash.
"No trouble at all to get word to
them of payment or anything else in
which they are interested" continued
Mr.. Compton. "News travels among
them as fast as the paleface can send
it by wire. Just how they manage
this rapid system of communication |
don't know, since they have discarded
the signal fires and smokes of their
forefathers, but it would surprise the
uninitiated to observe how p promptly
every Winnebago over large expanse
Of territory learns what's doing when
any one of them gets the information. Z"

MADISON YOUTH
VISITS BARABOO
Starts Out AS Wanderer
at Rather Early Stage
in Life.
From Thursdays Daily

This morning at Madison three y ar
old Toy crept onto passenger train No.
5O7 and was not noticed. by the train
crew until near this city. Here he
was turned over to Officer Stone, who
entertained him until the $3.50 train ar
rived, when he was again boarded for
home.
The lad is unable to talk plainly
enough to be understood, thus his
name could not be learned. The train
crew stated that he was accustomed to
running away and at one time he re-
mained away from home for four
days. This is a very unusual occur
renee for a child Of this age and it is
apparently a good start for wander
Ger. The boy was we'll dlessed and
seemed perfectly contented whether in
the policeman'S arms gazing at his
star, or standing on the platform
pointing at the Ringing wagons IS
they passed by. He is bright look
ing child and now is the time, if ever,
Z to break h,m of that roaming habit.
It is lucky for the child or rather
for his parents that he is popular
among railroad men, for some time,
when on his journeys, it would be a
difficult matter to obtain any infor-
nation as TO where he belonged.

Gravel and Rock Will Be
Hauled From Black
Hawk Bluff toRiver.

The next preliminary work on the
big Wisconsin river dam at Prairie du
Sac will be the building of narrow
guage electrical road across the river.
1t will be used to transport MATERIAL
gravel and rock, from Black Hawk
Bluff and from gravel beds in that vi
cinity to the dam. It will be operated
automatically from the tower on the

NEW BAKERY IN
BREWER BUILDING
Place Strictly Sanitary and
Up-to-Date to be Opened
May 1.

HI. G.. Schade will open new bakery
in the Brewer building on Oak street
about May 1. The room was formerly
occupied by Risley Brothers. Mr..
Schade has returned from Chicago
where he purchased new oven and
everything necessary for a first class
and sanitary bakery. All will be on
one floor and will be conduc ed with
the most approved methods. Mr..
Schade says to watch for the opening
as he will have something to offer.
He has been the care-taker of the fed
eral building for iseveral years. His
successor has not been chosen.
For long time there has been no
bakery in the business section of the
city near the courthouse. Two baker
les owned by Fred Arndt and John q
Bum have been doing fine business
on Walnut street for many years and
many have wondered that no one
opened a shop near the public square.
Much bread is shipped to Baraboo but
the new institution will be able to
supply the demand and will give the
people'a chance to patronize home in
dustry.

OPPOSE PASTORS LEAVING
People at Prairie du Sac
Hoped to Retain Rev.
NJ. r. Laird.

At the Madison District Presby terry
meeting at Madison Rev. M. r. Laird
requested that his pastoral relations
with the Presbyterian church at Prair-
lie du Sac be dissolved as he has ac-
cepted a call from the Marshfield
church. Two elders of the church
pleaded with the presbytery not to
grant the request for the dissolution.
They said that Mr.. Laird during his
SIX years pastorate has built up the
church and that the congregation is
unanimous against his leaving. They
maintained that the construction of
the building of the dam at Prairie du
Sac will bring several hundred work
men to that place and that Mr.. Laird
would be the right man to work
among them. Rev. George e. Hunt
and others said that man with the
ability of Mr.. Laird ought to work in
in larger field. The membership of
the Prairie du Sac church is less than
200, while the Marshfield church has
25O members. After full discussion
the request of Mr.. Laird was granted
by vote of Is tot.
Rev. M. G. Allison of Madison was
elected moderator and Rev. X. e.
Henke of Baraboo clerk. The sum of
$2,647 was received fo< missions.

CHURCH RECEIVES Gift
In Memory of Her Mother
Mrs. Stewart Presents
Lace Frontal.

At Eastertide Mrs. Frank VI. Stewart
presented handsome lace alter frontal
to Trinity Episcopal church. The piece
is of hand made Battenburg, six feet
long and nine inches wide. The design
is a grape vine with the bunches of
grapes and is very appropriate. The
frontal is valued at least at 500 and
no doubt would bring $3.50. The gift
was in memory of Mrs. Stewart's
mother.
The total offerings at the church at
Easter were $3.50.
The rector's choir award was to Earl
Verehausen.
The music was of a special nature
and given under the direction OF Miss
Olga Reinking with Miss Lila North
at the organ. For some months Miss
Reinking has been directing the music
of the church and great improvement
has resulted under her leadership.
Within few days the work on the
tower will begin and will be pushed to
completion. This will add much to
the value of the church.
Since Rector G. A. Wilson has come
to Baraboo the church has enjoyed
unusual prosperity and advancement.
Many new ideas have been inaugur-
ated and new plans put into execution
for the good of the organization. He
is a tireless worker and has made his
work count for much.

Street Resi-
dence.
From Thursdays Daily

Nathan Farnworth was injured
about noon today when he fell from
porch ON his residence on Birch street.
He was putting roof over porch on
the south side of the house and, think
ing that it was fastened securely
enough to hold him, he climbed onto
it. The roof and all tore loose and he
fell, striking on the edge of the plat
form below on his back.
He was taken into the house and a
physician called. The doctor stated
that no bones were broken but he has

HIS FASTIDIOUS FIANCE
By LOUIS CARL STEIN
Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.l

Mrs. John Durham was what might
be termed an overlooked widow! She
was only thirty-eight years old when
her husband died. and she was by no
means a homely woman. and vet at
the age OF forty-six she was still a
widow. Such things do happen In vii
lagos now and then. The piano man
may praise a widows eyes, the sew
Ing machine man praise her hair, and
the tin peddler look at her with ad.
miring eyes and sigh. but that may
also lead to nothing. 1t had led to
nothing in the widow Dunham's case.
A widow or any other woman must
have an offer Of marriage before she
car refuse It.
The time anne. Mrs. Durham was
still hanging on to her forty-sixth
year when along came Moses Frazer,
living In q village six miles away.
Moses would have come years sooner,
but for circumstances over which he
had no control. He had a wife, and
having one. the most he could do was
to sigh and wait. When the wife
was gathered in by the Reaper and
a year OF mourning had passed Moses
was free to call on the widow. When
she looked out of the window at the
click. OF the gate latch and saw him
she knew his errand.
Moses entered the house and talked
about this and that. and 1t was a long
time. and he had crossed and re-
crossed his legs many times before he
got up the courage to say:
widow. I'm alone In the world, and
30 are you"
"Oh. but | don't mind it, was the
reply.
But l thought you might. 1t some
how isn't natural for a to be
living alone. AS the Bible says, there
ought to be n mar around the house."
II never read that in the Bible.
Leastwise. | shouldn't want q man
around under foot. 1t must be q relief
to you not to have a wife rnussing
around"
