Friends in Baraboo have received
word from New York City stating
that Miss Agnes Dolan is i'll with

that city. Miss Dolan recently came

The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers at the convention recently
held at Harrisburg, Pa, adopted an
old age and disability pension plan.
The pensions will vary from $40 to $50
per month, depending on length of
service, and five years service is re-
quired before a member may receive a
pension. It is understood that the old
age and pension plan is optionsl with
the membership. If that be the case,
it is problematical whether it will
serve the purpose for which it was in
augurated.
Fire about one o'clock this morning
partly destroyed the house occupied by

The State Highway Commission is
now sending out to all town chairmen
blank forms on which to petition their
respective county boards for county
and state aid for roads or bridges to be
built in 1913 These forms must be
filled out by the town boards and
mailed to the county clerks on or be-
fore Sept. /, 1912.
Reports of votes so far would indi-
cate that at least $2,00O,O00.00 worth
of state aid roads and bridges will be
built in 1913 and that towns in every
county has or will vote taxes for
Improvements.
| AS will be seen in another part of the
paper Walter Meyer has announced
himself as candidate for the office OF
county sheriff. This is the third one
to "throw his hat in the ring", Will
liam Welk and A. G.. Malloy having
previously announced their candidacy
for the position. Strange to say, no
Democrat has as YET come forth for the
office of keeper of the county 5astile
and each of the above will no doubt
strive TO have his name appear on the
Republican ticket at the November
election. Mr. Meyer is now serving
as deputy sheriff. The present sheriff
is his father.
