a visit at home. His father, S. j.
Coates, is seriously i'll at his home on
Eighth street.
Julius Alvin, son, Walter, and Aug.
Mallon, who reside in Honey Creek,
were in Baraboo on Monday. They re-
port all kinds of roads, some ice and
some mud.
The weather man has been serving
the people of this region with medley
this week. On Sunday there was rain,
on Sunday evening there was snow
storm of short duration, Monday there
was London fog and rain while today
there is the spectacle of several inches
of fresh snow.
The S. S. Choral Club met Friday

travelled over Wisconsin several years
selling gloves and mittens to the trade
and who has also joUrneyed through
Nebraska season, retains his member
ship with the Gideons, christian COM
mercial travelling mems association.
Mr.. Briggs has recently been appoint
ed one of two men who will act as field
secretaries in the state of Wisconsin.
Their work will be to plan Gideon rail-
lies over the state, arrange for bible
days, raise more money and place more
bibles in the guest rooms of hotels. The
task of placing bibles in hotels for the
use of the guests was undertaken some
time ago by the Gideons and already a
quarter of a million volumes have found
their way into the hostelries. Mr..
Briggs has addressed state conventions
of the Gideons at Appleton, Beloit,
Portage, GAINESVILLE and Marshfield and
is we'll known to Wisconsin Gideons.
The office is not salaried one and
will not interfere with Mr.. Briggs
business at home as he will be away on
Sundays only.
At first hotel men were a little afraid
to have bibles placed in their guest
rooms but now many calls come from
landlords asking for them. Mr.. Briggs
appreciates the honor Of the appoint
ment as it came entirely unsought.

WASHINGTON DAY
IS CELEBRATED

Rev. J. T. Dorword, pastor of the
Tabernacle Baptist church in Milwau-
kee, gave the address at the Washing
ton Day celebration at the Baraboo
High school building on Monday night.
Like the Baraboo Durwards or Dor
wards he is Scotch through and
through. The father of the speaker and
B, I. Durward, the father of the Bar
aboo Durwards, came from the same
town in Scotland. Although there are
three ways of spelling the name, the
original spelling was no doubt the
same.
Mr.. Dorword gave many sides to
Washington's life. Washington the
youth, Washington the surveyor, Wash
ington the lover, Washington the bus
mess man, Washington the public ser
want, Washington the soldier, and
Washington the president were ali
portrayed in a most vivid and enter
tanning style.
He said the key to Washington 8
success was leadership, tact, system,
power and other elements which every
young man should cultivate if he ex-
poets to win
The speaker rolled out multitude of
excellent anecdotes and kept the aud
fence in merry mood most of the
time.
The Music.
The program opened with stirring
selection by the high school orchestra.
Following this Professor Witt extended
an invitation to the audience to join in
singing "On Wisconsin" with Miss
Clara Risley at the piano and the
members of the newly organized choral
union leading. The entire audience
under the direction of Professor Witt
sang with vim and enjoyment.
Professor Witt remarked that
| in singing 'On Wisconsin" tribute
was paid to the state, in the high
school song which followed the school
was represented, later numbers gave
| expression to home and friendship. In
appreciation of the address of Rev.
Dorword in which he remarked that
he was an American for twenty-five
wears but Scot before that, the well
known "Auld Lang Syne'' was sung as
a closing number. A brotherly feature
was the clasping of hands, Professor
Witt, Rev. Dorword and Superinten-
dent being on the stage. The speaker
was introduced by Mr.. Kingsford.

lid not wait for the blow to fall, but
ABANDONING to his son the care OF his
business interests in Chicago, fled with
MS millions to the shelter Of his
steam yacht, and put out to sea. Pro-
yisioned for weeks, with skilful
crew, library, chef, and selection
If choicest wines, he cruised the seas.
Beyers liked a sea life and was pre-
Dared to stretch out the period OF his
exile indefinitely-thatis to say. with
n reasonable limits; until his own de-
:ectives succeeded in cornering his
enemy
But Haynes eluded Beyers' spies
with ease. Mounted upon his gyro-
scope, he could traverse twelve hum
lred miles In night At last, In des-
oeration, they abandoned the search
'or him. Beyers, condemned to exile
Tor an unlimited period, accepted his
tate rather than return to face his
enemy. He sailed over the seas OF
Europe, wintering in the Mediterrane-
an, then spending the summer months
in the North sea and the Baltic. He
was off Norway when at last Haynes
.ound him.
After he emerged from the peniten-
:iary at Nokomis Falls, Haynes found
the daughter from whom he had been
separated at the time of his arrest.
She was living in remote hamlet In
aorthern New York, ignorant OF her IA
theirs fate and thinking him dead. He
rescued her and sent her to Chicago.
instructing her to await his orders
there, after enlisting her in his
schemes for revenge. When his chase
after Beyers began he instructed
Eleanor to obtain position as a
stenographer in Beyer's offices In that
city, now controlled by his son, In or
der that, If opportunity arose, she
might obtain information serviceable
to the fulfilment of his plans. Eleanor
Haynes rose rapidly; within six
months she had become young Beyers'
confidential secretary; and it was from
her that John Haynes discovered
where his enemy was to be found.
Beyers was to be at Kristiensund,
off the Norwegian coast, on certain
date in October. Haynes, disguised as
an English tourist, found his yacht
there provisioning. The man himself
had gone into the interior for weeks
salmon fishing, but was to return on
the following Saturday. Nothing
could have suited Haynes plans bet
ter. But he found 1t impossible, in
spite of his disguise, to 60 aboard; the
Waterman informed him that he was
forbidden to admit strangers. AS to
Beyers, the man confided that he kept
armed guards at his side who would
not hesitate to shoot trespassers.
Haynes also learned that, since the
village did not boast of hotel, Beyers
would sleep aboard the vessel on Sat
urday night, awaiting the Sunday
morning tide which should give
depth of channel to enable her to
clear the narrow passage of the ford
In which she found shelter from the
turbulence of the North sea.
