HAD TROUBLE
REACHING IOWA
Visitors to Baraboo Have
Many Experiences While
Returning Home.

Among the recent visitors at the
home of Mr.. and MRS. j. G. Payne
were Mr.. and Mrs. R. N. Nc Combs of
Laurens, Iowa. The automobile travel
ers have written letter to Mr.. and
Mrs. Payne telling of number of ex-
periences on the homew ard journey. It
was long hard drive through water
and mud to Lone Rock and on to High
land, for the rain fell in torrents over
the hills. They crossed the WisconsiR
river at Lone Rock. Near there another
Iowa car came along and the two drov
together-the other car being from Spen
GER When some distance from Fenni
more it rained and they stopped to put
on their chains.
Both cars were o out of the road, tke
letter says, and while Mr., Nc Combs
was STOPPING over to put on the left
chain Wisconsin came up and hit him,
knocking HIM down. The letter says
the driver did not blow the horn and
for short time Mr. Nc Combs was in
such serious condition they thought he
was going to die.
The accident happened in front of a
nice farm house and they carried him
into the residence. After time he re-
vived and they were able to proceed.
There was a flesh wound in his hack
which is healing. The man who drove
the car was George Long of Portage
and he was very kiud to them
At Mason City Mr. and Mrs. Nc Combs
left their car on account of the rain
and went to Eagle to visit a daughter
Afterwards they returned to Mason
City and continued to Laurens, reaching
there several days behind the schedule
In due time Mr.. and Mrs. Long came
to Baraboo and while they were guests
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs Geo. w.
Hughes $40 Second st, they were tod
by the host and hostess about Mr. Nc.
Combs of Iowa being struck by car.
"Well, F" said Mr.. Nc Combs. Il am
the person who struck the Iowa travel
err After all the points had been ex-
planned sure enough he was. 1t was a
strange thing the accident should be
presented in that way.

QUEER WRECK
IN WASHINGTON

Several fatalities resulted from q
railway wreck of most unusual ma
ture which recently occurred near Raj
nier, Wash. At the point where the
tragedy happened the tracks of one
railroad company cross those of another
on Soft. treetle. A work train was
passing beneath the elevated structure
carrying a steam shovel on fiat car as
a passenger train approached overhead.
The heavy steel boom of the dredger
suddenly became Unbiased and struck
out just in time to hit the wooden tres-
tie violently and weaken some of it's
supports. Almost at the same instant
the passenger train shot onto the sag
ging section, smashing through and
falling on top of the work train. Only
the observation car of the passenger
remained on the elevated structure.
The wreck is shown in several pictures
appearing in the September Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

HALCYON DAYS
FOR THE TRAMP

These are the halcyon days for the
weary willies" and the riders of the
bumper" says the Chippewa Falls
Independent. Walking through the
freight yards at night reveals condi-
ton but little realized by the folk up
town" The warm weather and the
lure of the harvest fields have brought
thousands of men from under cover, "
and the freight trains are doing land
office business carrying passengers free
of charge. Almost every outgoing
freight train has it's quota of travellers,
who ''do not know where they are
going, "but who know ''they are on
their way

!, VISIT MADISON
Large Number Attend The
Well Known Circus
Attraction.

The Barnum & Bailey Circus visited
Madison Wednesday. the attendance at
both perfo! me nces being large. Not mary
went from Baraboo. Concerning the
show the Madison Democrat in more
than column article, among other
things, says:
The circus is known as Barnum and
Bailey y's-no doubt to preserve the
names of those veteran showmen
who served former generation-but
in fact it is one of the Ringing shows,
made greater than any that Barnum &
Bailey ever promoted. The Ringlings
are Wisconsin men, brothers, whose
homes formerly were in Baraboo. Yes
terday at the afternoon performance
come of the family were present. Mr..
and Mrs. John Ringing, whose home
now is in New York, were there and
left later in the day for St. Paul, Henry
Ringing of Baraboo, the youngest of the
brothers also was present with his wife
and Mrs. Chas. Dyke of Baraboo, sister
of Mrs. Ringing. AL Ringling who has
been i'll at Baraboo could not come but
within day or two the big show is to
be at Portage and he is planning to
make the trip by auto from his home
to that city which is not far away to
see the performance and mayhap start
the currents of life anew by glimpse
of those familiar scenes among which
he has been so active for many years.

SEVERAL PROVISIONS
IN THE MEASURE
Money Comes Out of the
State Mill
Tax.
madison Democrat)

Out of the maze of legislative propo-
sails to aid rural schools the only sur
viving measure ia the r. B. Dickie bill,
modified and substituted for theRennett
bill in the senate and saved in that body
at the last moment by the insistence of
SenatorBray when Senator Bennett was
ready to throw it into the discard
The bill is not as good az the original
Dickie proposal in that the amount of
state aid to the teacher is not as great
but it establishes policy that in the
future will bring the rural schools to a
higher standard while coming legisla-
lures, seeing the benefits that follow,
may make it better.
The Dickie substitute as finally en-
acted provides that in any school dis
trict not composed wholly or in part of
an incorporated city or village which
retains teacher after he or she has
taught successfully for a year, the
teacher shall be paid, in addition to re-
gular salary, by the state 81 per month
for the second year, $4 per month for
the third year and for the fourth and
succeeding years So per month. Pro-
vision is made for certification by
school officials that the teacher. has
been successful and is entitled to the
increased pay.
The bill further provides that in any
school district of the kind above noted
that employs teacher who is grad
uate from rural school course Of two
years beyond high school graduation in
any normal or training school, the tea
cher shall be paid by the state, in ad-
dition to the regular salary, $40 per
month for the first year and for each
succeeding year SIS per month.
1t is the last feature of the bill that
Mr.. Dickie hopes will prove great
benefit to the rural school as the bonus
is sufficient to attract capable and pro-
gressive teachers through a series of
wears, keeping them in the same school
until the influence of their work is re-
fected in the higher scholarship Of the
pupils.
The money paid out by the state on
account of this law are to be taken
from the fund provided by the seven
tenths mill tax for the common schools.

RUNAWAY THAT
MADE A CRASH
Greenfield Team Takes
Spin and Breaks Buggy
and Car on Broadway.
(From Fridays Daily.)

This afternoon team belonging to
Jacob Werlich of Greenfield decided to
create some excitement and quite a
stir resulted. The horses were hitch
ed to a wagon with rack for
hauling cattle going west on Fourth
avenue at good clip. When Broad
way was reached they turned south
and at the Prothero & McGinnis
garage broke reach in a buggy
owned by Bart Ragatz of North
Freedom and damaged the back of
an automobile belonging to James Will
son. About this time telephone pole
was encountered which brought the
horses to stop. The harnesses were
torn. There was standing just in front
of the buggy and automobile another
car in which were five people. When
they saw what was transpiring they
put on high speed and are probably at
Chicago by this time.

B. F. Thomas of Baraboo
Writes of His West
ern Travels.
Denver, Colorado,
August II, 1915.

August IL, 1919.
Dear Editors:
We have been gone from Baraboo
nearly two months attending the two
fairs and sightseeing. We are now in
Denver, Colorado, and we're on Pixies
Peak yesterday Got caught in a snow
storm and it showed in the valley so the
railroad tracks were white with snow
between Colorado Springs and Denver.
How is that for the sixteenth of Au-
gust? Times are hard, tourist money
is what makes most of the peoples
living. Crops in Colorado seem to be
good and oats are green yet. We ex-
pect to stop in Nebraska, Kansas and
Kansas City, returning by Chicago,
having gone by the northern route.
Denver is fine city. 1t has num-
Der of factories and is no more west
ern town but metropolis and a great
railroad center. 1t was cold at San
Francisco, an overcoat came in play
almost every evening The wheat crop in
California was good. We saw them
cutting and thr rashing at the same time.
Some of the machines were propelled by
thirty or forty mules and some by
heavy tractors. The fields were cover
ed with great piles of shocks of wheat;
they were sewed up at the ends. They
were safe as there is no rain this time
of the year.
As the folks are waiting for supper l
must close,
B. F. THOMAS.
