reports the outlook for his candidacy
to be excellent. Mr.. Dryer is we'll &C.
quainted all over the county and when
sheriff filled the office with credit. He
says that many friends are giving him
their undivided support.
An interesting incident is told by
Rev. A. G. Fowkes, who is a guest of
Rev. c. l.. Ferguson at the Trinity
Episcopal church residence. Rev.
Fowkes has been filling the office
of missionary in Wyoming, with
headquarters at Big Piney, and is now
located at ;, Fond du Lac cathedral.
His life in the west was quiet siren
uous and some of his experiences
would make good reading in a book.
The territory he had included about
a thousand square miles or about 81
townships. 1t was necessary to use an
automobile and one day while far
from any habitation the machine
broke down. He walked until II
o'clock at night before he reached
ranchman's home. There he found
he must sleep with one of the COW
boys and to his surprise he learned the
only article of apparel his bedfellow
removed was his spurs. The COW boy
was ready for business as soon as the
break of day came. The minister says
that although he was surprised to
find the cattle man sleeping in his
clothes, he nevertheless was very
thankful that he removed his spurs.
M. Feinberg expects his sister and
her husband to arrive from Moscow
soon. They were in the old capital Of
Poland at the time of the disturbance
some time ago and the sister lost a
government bond valued at $1,000.
They were glad to escape and reached
Vladivostock after a long, tiresome
and exciting journey. They are now in
Japan, the husband returning to Vlad-
livestock several times for business
reasons. Mr.. Feinberg thinks that his
brother-in-1aw is in the government
service. They wired for the Baraboo
resident to come to Japan, but he is
anxious for the relatives to come to
Baraboo. From the latest information
they are ready to sail for the Pacific
coast and should be here in a few
weeks. The sister writes in three Ian
guages, English being one of them.
For a time they were suspected of be-
ing spies and for that reason she
writes in English, this being a fortu-
nate accomplishment at this time.

ger is a convincing speaker, and told
many interesting incidents of her so
journ in Serbia While. in Baraboo
