In Memoria u

Marie Farwell, daughters of the late
Engineer F. L. Farwell, born May 26,
1898, died in Chicago Oct. IA, 1918.
Miss Farwell spent the earlier
years of her life in Baraboo, Wiscon-
sin. was a member Of the Congrega-
tional church in this place and here
she laid the foundation for her ideal
and ambition in lifes work; beside
her work in the public schools of Bar
aboo she spent one year in the Bara-
hospital and at the time of her
death was about ready to graduate
from the Illinois Training school for
nurses.
The circumstance attending Ma
rie's death were peculiarly sad, soon
as she had returned from very try
ing case of sickness, where her
strength had been used to the limit,
she found a classmate, very sick, with
no immediate friends and without
money, she at once volunteered to
care for her.
The case was virulent and soon Ma
RE was infected with streptococf poi
soning, this il course sent her to her
home and very soon to her bed
g She struggled courageously against
the disease, but fought a losing battle,
soon becoming unconscious and so
she continued to the end.
The physicians called knew her
well and did adj that medical skill
could do for her relief but manifestly
to no permanent avail.
Perhaps the saddest feature OF the
case relates to an interested friend,
a young man who, when he learned of
the fatal outcome of her disease, lost
control of his mind and was pos
sessed of a mania for self-destruction,
Friends could not persuade them
selves he would carry out his threat,
but as soon as he found himself alone
he boarded the elevated, went to
Winnemac station and as the North
western train passed, deliberately
hurled himself in front of the engine.
This is indeed sad picture Of the
on the earth; we are glad however,
to know that it is but the passing of
a shadow, terrific though it is, the
Eternal dawns for those who love the
day and light and truth we'll enough
to live in their light and serve for
them; all tears are dried and shadows
forever fee away.
The Farwell family is we'll known
in Baraboo and we are glad to report
that but for the father who passed on
nearly three years since and now this
daughter brought for burial at his
side, it's members are all together,
bravely lending mutual support to
each other they will keep up the bat
tie for the betterment of this present
life till they join the "innumerable
company" and are reunited beyond
the reach Of disaster and dismay.

BUSY DAY IN
justice COURT

Otto Kruger and Fred Hewitt, not
withstanding reports to the contrary,
failed to find any blind pigs in Bara-
boo and hied themselves to Alderman

an extent that it was necessary for
the police to take them in hand. They
each paid a fine and costs amounting
to $1O.24 in Justice Andro's court to-
day.
The stretch of cement in Sank City
proved too much Of a temptation for
Walter Zins of that village, and he
paid fine of SIS and costs, in all
amounting to $29.7S, on the charge of
speeding. Deputy Sheriff Capener
made the arrest, and Justice H. l..
.Halsted assessed the contribution.
A young lad by the name of Ernest
Rossow, who has been visiting rela-
tives near DeltOn. took a fancy to a
bicycle belonging to Charles Cook,
and after riding the same for a time
was called upon to settle. His sister,
Mrs. Ralph Olson, OF Racine, came to
the boys rescue and paid the dam
ages in Justice Adolph Andro's court.
Walter Montgomery Of Reedsburg
showed evidences OF an unusually
sweet tooth in the month of Septem-
Der, using six pounds too much sugar.

October 81, 1918.
There have been no more insid1ous-
ly false reports come to my attention
than those, recently widely spread,
to the effect that nurses or medical
officers have been executed at the
"stage hour" Of sunrise, for spreading
influenza or pneumonia germs among
soldiers.
There have been no medical officers,
nurses, or anyone else executed at any
camp in the United States or abroad
for any such cause.
The reports are ridiculous and with
out the slightest foundation. They
have taken many forms, but through
them all has run a significant likeness
of texture that it is not unlikely that
they all originated from the same
source, the German propaganda. IN
fortunately, as is so frequently the
case, those behind the baseless re-
ports have been and are being aided
in the nefarious dissemination of them
by many thoughtless persons who
have not taken the time to investi-
gate them before passing the reports
on.

But in such an event, what Win the

in his party's platform. It has meas
ured up to the requirements Of the
times. On tho prohibition question,
Gov. Whitman, who by reason Of his
Office was called upon to take . stand,
took the right stand, and Is entitled to
praise for his courage.
Lurking in the equation is the charge
that Gov. Whitman has the presidency

Naval War Losses.

Loss Of the armoyed cruiser San
Diego Of Fire Island, if due to tor
pedo and not to mine, Is q startling
indication that the enemy proposes to
push the tight in these waters, and ID
disposed to % beyond the scope Of
the recent submarine operations, which
took toll almost exciusively from small,
allow, mercantile craft. Evidence on
the point Of the cause Of the cruisers
destruction is not - yet conclusive,
though the survivors Of the warship arp
reported to have declared that there
was no question that . submarine fred

that other ships will be sunk. Uneon.

There Il nothing incredible IN tAs idea

that the Germans have sent submarines
to this side Of tho Atlantic again or
that they are striking at our naval ves-
sells rather than merely defenseless
sailing ships and small cargo steamers.
Thus far the American Navy has SUI
fered very lightly in the war, remark
ably SO considering It's activity. Two
destroyers have been sunk, the Jacob
Jones and the Chauncey, the former
by . torpedo and the latter by col
lision. The destroyer Cassin was tor
pedoed, but made port and was re-
paired and is now again in service.
The converted yacht Alcedo was tor
pedoed and sunk, now the San Diego
has been destroyed, q total Of four
ships lost altogether and one tempo
rarily put out Of commission. Con-
sidering the scope and usefulness of
the naval operations since We entered
the war, this is a remarkably small per-
centage Of losses.

Quentin Roosevelt Dead.

Confirmation Of Quentin Roosevelt's
death by German aviators who have
dropped note inside the allied lines
unhappily ends the hopes that had been
entertained that this intrepid young
man, so beloved by the American peo-

enemy lines. Sympathy for his father
and mother is universal. Col. Roose-
welt, however, Is courageous man BE
has faced the possibility Of his sons

The New York republicans are in the

It is all along Of prohibition. Gov.
Whitman favors prohibition, but a fac
Zion Of his party opposes. This faction
rcomparatively small-is yet capably

siderable sentiment in favor Of Mr..
Roosevelt for the nomination. Some

Activity Of the Socialists.

The socialists are rapidly perfecting
their campaign arrangements. They
are making, or considering, nomina-
tions for the next House of Repre-
sentatives. They claim to be assured
Of an ample campaign fund. Commit
tees have been organized In al the
territory they have in mind to con-
test. In one way or another they are
Roing through motions which testify
to industry if not confidence.
It is to be noted as a sign Of their
serious intent that they are putting
their strongest men forward. Nothing
is to be intrusted to amateurs or OBJ
scurities. Men widely known in poll
tics or in sociaistic agitation are to
lead. Debs of Indiana, and London,
Nearing and Hillquit Of New York, are
among those foremost in the work.
Mr.. Debs has declined a nomination
to Congress partly because he is under
formal charges respecting opposition to
the war. But he is still socialist, and
one of his party's most experienced
politicians. Doubtless it will have the
benefit of his counsels during the cam
paign.
Mr.. London, q member Of the pres
emit House, has just been nominated
for the next. He has earned his party's
Endorsement His socialism is out
spoken and undisguised.
Prof. Nearing and Mr.. Hillquit have
been indorsed for Congress. The for
mer has left the field of education for
that of politics, while the latter, long
in politics, is laying plans for 1920.
1t is current talk that if he wins this
year he will stand for his party's presi-
Dental nomination two years hence.
The frank confession Of their aims
by the socialists, and the leadership
they are acknowledging, should put
the two old parties on guard. They
should unite their strength in every
Congress district where the socialists
are strong and active. The socialists
will be content with few seats in the
next House. As they have but one in
the present House, the gain Of half a
dozen in the next would enable them
to make tall claims as to growth in
the country.
These men have not accepted the
proposition that politics is adjourned" ;"
On the contrary, seeing politics in ses-
sion all around them, they are busy
as bees themselves with everything
that touches or can be made to touch
politics, and are planning to keep up
their lick at least until the polls close
in November, 1920.

The Government Dormitories.

Announcement is made that work on
the government dormitories on the
Union Station plaza, to house $500
war workers, will begin about the 1st
Of August, and that they will be ready
in about two months. A little later
work will start on dormitories on the
square bounded by 14th, 18th and B
streets and Ohio avenue, already own
ed by the government, the delay be-
ing necessary for the clearance of the
cite, now occupied by lumber yard.
Thus there is prospect that by the
latter part Of October two groups Of
buildings will be ready for occupation
by perhaps 5000 persons. In the mean
time it is expected that newcomers will
be accommodated in private homes,
lists Of which are being prepared by
the room-renting bureau Of the Dis
trict Council of Defense.
Tho two temporary dormitories will
have the great advantage of conven-
fence Of access to the government Of
fees. That on the Union Station plaza
will be within easy walking distance
Of the Mall group of temporary war
Offices, while that at 18th and B streets
will be even moro convenient to the
newer group in Potomac Park. Doubt
less the occupants Of the two dormi-
tories will be selected with reference
to their places Of occupation.
It is announced that care will be
taken to give these buildings an at
tractive exterior, so that they will not
offend the eye by their appearance,
despite their temporary character. It
has been demonstrated in the war
buildings erected in the parks that
they can be made Of pleasing design,
although it is intended to raze them
after the war.
