It would be a difficult task to imagine a prettier scene than that with which the first act of Polly closes. IL is there that the young girl of the circus world gets her first insight into things that are higher and bet ter, when, as she first regains con sciousness and realizes her helpless ness, the minister reads to her, at her request. those memorable lines from the Book of Ruth: ~Entreat me net 10 leave thee or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, 1 will lodge.

ODD DISCOVERY
BY BRAKEMAN
Finds StYlish1y Dressed
- Couple Making Journey
in Box Car.

A furious pounding on the door of a
box car which was locked and stand
ing in the Baraboo yards about to
start on recent morning attracted
the attention of the brakeman of the
train who happened to be passing.
He opened the door to investigate and
there stood revealed stylishly dress
ed couple who were apparently using
the hobo's means of travel.
Upon being questioned they stated
that they had come from Minnesota
ard had expected to travel on from
Baraboo in the empty car in which
they were found not supposing it
would be locked. The female member
of this mysterious pair when asked if
her method of travel was not rather
unusual replied that it was better than
walking.
They were allowed to continue their
journey to Syene where the car was
set out. 1t is understood they travelled
on from that point in another empty
but at Footeville they were observed
to have changed their kobo's palace
for the legomobile and were hoofing it
up the track evidently bound for
GAINESVILLE where they could again en-
sconee. themselves in afriendIy empty.
The couple before leaving Baraboo
stated that their destination was
Detroit and the q ueer find has been
the cause Of much speculation as to
who the two were; whether they were
a newly married couple making their
bridal tour in this odd manner or wheth.
er they were brother and sister. With
the latter suspicion the plot thickens
as it is stated that the mans hair was
closely cropped and that he might
possibly be an escaped convict being
helped out of trouble by a faithful
sister. 1t has even been suggested that
perhaps the man was the one wanted in
Montana about whom Chief of Po-
lice Pelton recently received dispatch

Superintendent w. II. Whalen
formerly master mechanic at Baraboo,
was recently honored by his employees
at Tucson, Arizona. For 20 months

division of the Southern Pacific which
has its headquarters at the above
named city and has been transferred
to the Los Angeles division of the
same company. On the eve of Mr..
Whalen's going away from Tucson,
his employees gathered about him and
presented a fine Victor Victrola. AL
ONO Haley acted as spokesman and
the response by Mr.. Whalen was full
of feeling. The addresses showed that
there was much in kindship between
the workers of the great southern cor
poration, that they all try. to pursue
the right policy and that much has
been accomplished during the stay of
Mr.. Whalen on that division.
A full account of the meeting was
received by M. Riney, of Baraboo, su-
perintendent of bridges on the Madi-
son division.

FORBID BOOZE At
PUBLIC AUCTIONS
Almost Every Democrat in
Assembly Voted for the
Measures.

The first appearance of a liquor bill
in the assembly at Madison occasioned
a heated debate which lasted for al
most an hour. The bill, which was
introduced by Assemblyman Denn-
hardt, prohibits the selling or giving
away of intoxicating liquors at public
auctions. The assembly, after the
lengthy discussion, ordered it to en-
grossment by an overwhelming vote
of "a to s.
When the bill came up for consider
alton, Assemblyman Bichler, floor
leader for the democrats, offered an
amendment which. obviously was in
tended as a joke. The amendment
aimed to prohibit the selling or giving
away of ''squirrel whisky" at public
auctions. Assemblyman Dorner of
Milwaukee sought to kill the measure
on the grounds that the purpose of the
bill is already covered by the statutes.
Assemblyman Dennhardt, who is an
auctl0neer, In defending his OIL toIu
of the indiscriminate handling of Ii
quor by some auctioneers who get
their patrons intoxicated in order to
induce them to buy.
AssembIyman Long of Crawford
county attacked the attitude of Mr..
Bichler in the amendment he had sub
mitted, declaring that the democrats
ought to defeat the measure by max
ing it appear as joke. This accusa-
tion the democrats denied, and to
prove that their intentions were good,
forecasted their vote in favor of the
passage of the bill.
The bill finally was sent to engross-
ment in its original form, the demo
Gratis voting almost solidly in favor OF
the proposition.
