NORTH FREEDOM
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Last night three stores were entered
at North Freedom: the Egerer hard
ware store, the Echenbach-LohmanC Co.
general store, and the A. A. Johnson
general store. The entry to the Eyer
er hardware store was made through
the cellar, and the only thing that was
missed was 1ashlight. At the Esch-
enbach-Lohman store, twenty-five
cents was taken from the cash regis
ter and the entry was made through
the cellar, into the store room window
and then through window into the
office. At the A. A. Johnson store,
clothing and shoes were taken and
the thieves made entry through the
transom above the front door. The
transom was open and the screen over
the transom was cut.
1t is not known what time the rob-
berry occurred, but when the proprie-
tors came to their stores this morn
ing they discovered their places had
been broken into. No trace of the
thieves has been found.

every one of the eight to ten thou

tising industry will be dressed in duck,
palm beach, linen or silk suits. The
officials Of the clubs contend lat dur
ing the summer months in past years
the business men of the country, par
ticularly the heads of firms, have been
the most uncomfortable individuals
in their establishments. The Office boy
in his shirt sleeves and the stenog-
rapher in her neat waist have been
comfortable, while the "bOss" has
sweltered in heavy clothing simply
because he is afraid that the duck,
linen, or other lightweight wear
might be thought beneath the dignity
of his position AS a result the eff
cheney of these men, the club officers
say, has been impaired in summer

To Be
FORMER SENATOR
PEARSON'S SON
WORD COMES FROM WASHINGTON
THAT APPOINTMENT MAY
BE EXPECTED SOON

Former State Senator Charles l..
Pearson, who was recommended for
postmaster at Baraboo sometime ago,
found that the condition of his health
would not permit him to take up the
work. Acting upon the suggestion of
number of friends he asked for the
appointment of his eldest son, and yes
terday received notice from Senator
Paul o. Husting that he had forward
ed the recommendation of Alger G.
Pearson to be postmaster at Baraboo.
Senator Husting says he is taking
this action in recognition of the faith
full and conspicuous services rendered
by his father in the state senate, and
he believes that the conduct Of the
Office will be such as to fully vindicats
the judgment of those responsible for
the appointment.

most excellently impersonated by EnA

of the school principal, was Squire
Wilkins, a wealthy ship owner, which
character was acted by ROllO Black

most lost his place in the heart of the
school mistress, by indulging too muck

to him by the audacious William Hor

SPLENDID SUCCESS
YOUNG FOLKS IN CAST CARRY

AUDIENCE is WELL
PLEASED
(From Thursdays Daily.l

The Al Ringing theatre was
filled last evening with an enthusi-
astic audience, who thoroughly en-
joyed the various impersonations Of
their young friends. The story of
the play was commendable, and each
and every part was we'll taken. Grace
Hathaway was sweet and modest as
Nancy, who although poor and without
relatives, strove for an education. She
not only was the incompatible stu
dent, but was also awarded the schol-
arship of a course at Vassar by the
members of the school board who
voted. The school is patronized
by the wealthy class and Nancy
was allowed to attend only that, on &C
count of her great ability as scholar,
she would be an honor to the instltu-
ton. Miss Bessie Baringer as the
naughty Mrs. Courtney, the other
member of the board, was in Europe at
the time of the awarding Of the schol-
arship. When she returns and finds
that Nancy has been awarded the hon
or in place of her selfish daughter
ImOgene (Which part was taken credit
ably by Margaret Weber,, she is indig-
nant, and as the third member of the
| board refuses to sanction the awarding
of the scholarship, even refusing to

| ton has not been paid for the last
two terms. Nancy is dumbfounded,
but has two loyal champions in Hazel

Peggy Smart and Ruth Stone, who in

Iceptionally we'll acted. His pleasing
personality, his good looks, his desire

| Arthur Peck, as the colored porter,
acted the part of the aged servant with
marked ability, and showed that
though his face was black, his heart
was white. Miss Rachel Fellows as
the school principal, though stern in
her discipline, was fond of the girls,
and enjoyed Irritation as well as any
Lone, and her part was decidedly well
carried. Deacon Absolom Dill, the un-

A Railway D1eadnaught

One of the newest inventions for
national defense is a railway dread
naught, which is nothing more than
a heavy steel car so constructed that
it can be firmly fixed upon a concrete
foundation and serve as a mount for
guns. Congressman Capstick Of New
Jersey stands sponsor for the new in
vention to the extent of asking con-
gress to appropriate $10,000,000 to
provide for a supply of these dread
naughts as means of defense adap-
table to any part Of the country. They
have the advantage Of being readily
transportable to wherever they may
be needed. One OF these cars can ac-
commodate either fourteen or sixteen
inch guns, and the demonstration Civ
ey inclines many army officials to
regard the equipment favorably. It
is claimed that unde1 modern methods
of warfare the permanent fort is no

persons who have to remain here

FORMER BARABOO RESIDENT
TELLS OF INTERESTING
EVENTS AT NATIONAL
CAPITAL

Several days ago Senator Husting
voiced his opposition to the rivers and
harbors bill to appropriate $43,oOO,0OO.
He criticised some OF the Republican
opposition to the bill on the grounds
of extravaganza as insincere and par
tisan, saying the majority was con-
demned as inefficient for the legisla-
ton it failed to enact, and attacked as
extravagant for the measures it pro-
posed. He condemned many Of the
items in the Dill as unnecessary, and
urged that even the meritorious ones
be laid aside, while the entire atten-
ton Of congress be given to prepared
ness, for arms if unavoidable, and for
the development of industry and com
merce, which he declared was bound
to follow the close of the war.
