Gretchen Patterson to Wed.

Bright and early Monday morning
Miss Gretchen Patterson bid adieu to
relatives and friends and started on her
journey to Los Angeles, Cal, where
she goes to wed the man of her choice,
Mr.. Elmer Keyser, who left here sew
eral weeks ago and is now located at
Los Angeles. The nuptial knot will be
tied upon the arrival of the prospective
bride at her destination. She was ac-
companied as far as Chicago by her
father.
Miss Patterson is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Patterson and came to
Baraboo two years ago, when the FAM
lily removed from Cambridge, and Mr..
Patterson took charge of the Palace
restaurant. She is a clever musician
and for some time presided at the piano
in the Gem and Orpheum theaters. She
made many friends here, and all will
join us in wishing her and her chosen
one full measure of happiness and
success. Mr.. Keyser is also well
known musician and at the present
time is engaged in one of the theaters
in Los Angeles, where the couple ex-
pect to make their home for the pres
ent, as the prospective bride will most
likely accept an offer to join an orches-
ira in one of the theaters there. Sank

Stalled Without Gasoline.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Olson, who live
couple of miles east of town, had the
pleasure of entertaining two young
ladies and their gentlemen escorts on
Sunday night. All hailed from Edger-
ton. They were coming along by auto
at a handsome rate when suddenly the
machine stopped, as it sometimes will
Hammers and Wrenches were brought
out and applied. at various points, to no
avail, but finally one of the ladies
shiveringly suggested that mayhap the
fluid had become exhausted, and, be-
hold, the gasoline had failed. Mr.. Oh
son, being the nearest, was called out
of bed, but he had only half gallon
left over from last summer, which was
not enough, so one of the men walked
to Stoughton for more. One of our
storekeepers sleepily gave him few
gallons, which the midnight visitor
struggled back with, after an absence
of four hours, So the ladies said, who
had been compelled to take possession
of Mr.. Olson's front parlor and were
nodding with WEAKNESS. AS far as
known they reached Edgerton safely.

Will See Ski Experts.

Considerable interest is being shown
locally in the elaborate preparations
being made at Stoughton for the dedi-
cation and formal opening Of the great
est steel ski scaffold in the world.

son, Rockford, GAINESVILLE, Beloit and
Edgerton to Stoughton to accommodate

tensive work done to accommodate all.
Eighty of Americas best ski runners
will compete and hope to break the
American record of 140 feet. They
will do this, for Stoughton's hill is sew
enteen feet higher than any hill in this
country and is sleeper.

Hands Freeze to Rail in Wild Ride.

Clinging to the frosty rails on the
rear of Northwestern passenger train
and finding both of his hands frozen
after a wild ride between Madison and
Baraboo, Conductor Diets, who has been
running on that road number of years
in charge of Pullman car, is now in a
hospital where it is feared he may lose
both hands.
During a cold night the first of last
week Mr.. Diets, whose home is in Chi
cago, was at lunch counter at the
Madison depot and in the meantime the
train pulled out for the west. Hearing
the train start he hurried outside and
was only able to grab hold of the rail
along the side of the step of the last
coach. Several persons standing at the
depot shouted to him not to hang on,
but he decided to stay on the train, be-
lieving he could get inside the coach.
The gates were closed on the steps and
to keep from falling off he was Obliged
to cling on tightly with his bare hands.
The train is a limited and makes no
stops between Madison and Baraboo, a
distance of 40 miles. When Baraboo
was reached the conductor of the train
saw man hanging on the rear plat
form and much to his surprise he found
him to be Conductor Diets.
His hands were SO badly frozen that
they chung to the frosty iron rail and
had to be torn loose. Mr.. Diets was
conscious and was able to tell of his
terrible experience.

Congregational Church Briefs.

s'Growing Worse" is the theme for
next Sunday morning. Text, in. 3:18,
10. We invite your thought on this
text. What does it mean to you?
1t is not often that an annual meet
ing presents as many interesting bust
ness details as were brought out in the
reports last Thursday evening as the
various departments of work read their
accounts of activity. There are great
many interesting and encouraging de-
two. The work of the Ladies society
has always been most encouraging and
is always one of our strongest depart
ments. Yet this last year seems to be
banner year. Their total earnings
for the year amounted to the magnifi-
cent sum of $634.85. Besides all of the
many expenses met they still have a
bank account of $244.91. Besides the
great financial success of the work
there has been most helpful social
side to their weekly meetings and many
anticipate each week the opportunity
of spending the afternoon with kind
friends. Not only is the work of the
ladies thus successful, but their faith
fulness and untiring devotion to the
best interests OF the church are most
heartily appreciated by all. ssGod bless
our good womanly friends; what would
the churches do without them?''
Mr.. Tsai, Chinese student about to
graduate from the University of Wis
consin, will speak at the Mems service
next Sunday evening. A week ago
Sunday he spoke at Lacrosse and this
is what one of it's leading citizens wrote
the University about him: every one
was delighted with Mr.. Tsai. The first
hint even of adverse criticism is to be
heard. He has the faculty of being
clear and going straight to the point. :
Tomorrow friday evening the Mems
Club will meet at the home of w. [.
Pomeroy. The club will be addressed
by Prof. w. H. Lightly of the Univer-
sity on ''The University Extension
Work as Developed in Wisconsin.

Now it is known OF all men that
the general conditions that prevail In
Canada are the same as those which

if there is any advantage, the advan-

the varieties of our climate, than they
