Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Kirchoffer of
Madison are guests of Baraboo friends.
Mr.. Kirchoffer was formerly city en-
gineer of Baraboo and is now a SAL
tary and hydraulic engineer wit
office in the Vroman block in Madi-
son. His work extends into the sur
rounding states. Before returning to

Craker home at Reedsburg to visit
for a short time.
Frank G.. Stokes, Esq, justice Of the
peace in the town of Plymouth, near
Elroy, started for home soon after
dark after spending the afternoon in
the village. When in front of Hol-
denis furniture store his horse reared
on his hind legs and the bit broke
the bride pulling over the animals
head. He came down onto his four
feet, and zip, swish, the animal was
across Fowler's crossing and off for
home, the bride hanging at the names
and the squire hanging onto the lines
for dear life, expecting every second
to be hurled into eternity.
The buggy touched the ground only
about three times in mile, Frank de-
'clares, and every time the buggy
struck the road, Frank touched the
sky, or at least it seemed so to the
squire. : Old "Dobbin'' was stopped
near the Newhouser farm, and the
squire felt that, though he is pretty
quick himself, the old nag had gone
him one better; but he is thankful he
is alive to tell the story.
A. D. Dorsett of Chicago is a guest
of friends in this, his former home
city. The visitor was editor of this
paper for IL or Is years, and is now
connected with large book publish
ing company in Chicago. The firm will

in-chief. Mr.. Dorsett has spent more
or less time for several years in col
lecting, editing and arranging the
work for the firm. Mrs. Dorsett could
