proving and transportation will soon
reach the normal stage.
Schools Close at Chicago
The schools at Chicago have closed
for this week in order to enable the
boys to help dig the city out of the

wheelbarrow or any method possible.

DR.. KIlRER'S SWAMP ROOt

I am very well pleased with DR.. Xii
mer's Swamp-ROot as a kidney, liver"
and bladder medicine and during the
ten years that / have sold it it has al
ways produced the most beneficial re-
suits in the troubles for which it is
recommended and those who have
tried it speak very favorably regard
ing it. l would recommend it at all
times to people suffering from such
ailments because / believe that it is
very good medicine and able to do
all that is claimed for it.
Very truly yours,

Friday night was wild one.
Trains Delayed
The 7 o'clock train on Friday even

the night trains from Chicago did not
begin arriving until about noon to-
day They became fast in the snow
in the region Of GAINESVILLE. Trains
from the north were little better.
Some were abandoned.
Business at StandstiII
The delay Of the trains prevented
arrival Of goods and rural folk did not
venture out to any great extent. Bus

great a standstill as on a holiday.
Storm Widespread
The present storm is widespread,
extending over several states. In
some sections there is much suffer

LIFE At WACO
Mr.. and MIS-. Frank Harfort Return
From Texas City After Stay Of
Several Weeks There

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank HerfOrt and
Miss Alma Zimmerman have returned
from Waco, Texas, where they spent
several weeks, their son Randall being
in training at the camp there. Their
son, with about thirty from this vi
entity, has gone to Hoboken with the
10th supply train and expects to ship
fof France soon. Troops are leaving
all the time.
Dry and Not Cold
Mr.. and Mrs. HerfOrt found the eli
mate at Waco very dry and not very
cold. The recent weather sent the
thermometer so low, however, there
was snow and ice, the street cars were
stalled and business stopped. Mr.. Her
fort says the Texans are afraid of the
cold, and when chilly weather arrives
grab more clothing or a hot water bot
tie, and refuse to venture out.

After little dribbles of mail had ar
filled pouches came late on Monday
Trains are running as usual, and life
is once more worth living.
GAINESVILLE was in the storm center
The tracks were full of stalled trains
and the following from the GAINESVILLE
Gazette gives a picture of the situa-
ton:
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1918-01-17
(From Mondays daily.)

The weather conditions continue to
be the topic of conversation. GOndl-
tions are improving and unless more
snow falls business will soon be nor
NAL. The weather on Sunday was
clear and cold, the temperature this
morning being about 16 below, most
thermometers as usual varying from
that figure.
Eight Engines on One Train
A Pennsylvania train pulled into
Chicago with eight engines pushing
and pulling. The train was many hours
late and the passengers were with
out food for long time.
Abandon Train
A train from Elgin attempted to
reach Chicago When in the city it
became stalled and the commuters left
the coaches, taking to the elevated.
Not SO Bad as in 1881
E. e. Smith, Eighth street, Baraboo,
claim agent for the Chicago & North
western, and with the company TOR
many years, says the present storm is
not as serious as in 1881. At that time
he resided in Chicago, and says that
but few trains ran for period OF two
weeks. There was milk famine and
much Distress The storm was in
March and old Boreas kept up con-
tinual bombardment Of snow and sleet
most Of the month. Drifts were high
OF CT
present time the greatest amount OF
snow and most of the trouble on this
road is between GAINESVILLE and Chi
cagO.
Liable to Continue
The difficulty of Saturday and Sun
day will be repeated every time snow
falls. There is so much about Chi
cago that trains run in trenches, and
when more falls or the wind blows it
will be impossible to get through. A
slight fall with wind will mean all
kinds of trouble until the January thaw
arrives.
No Sunday Papers
No Saturday or Sunday Chicago,
| Milwaukee or Madison papers reached
Baraboo on those days. A few came
on Sunday night and more today. The
situation on Sunday gave the usual
newspaper readers a fine chance to
read their Bibles. H. H. Taylor, pro
prietor of the book store and news
stand, says he never knew the papers
/ to be so delayed. He has been in the
business about twenty years.
Many Trains Abandoned
Many trains were abandoned at Chi
cago and Milwaukee, There was a
general delay and the roads used all
efforts to battle with the storm.
New Line Blocked
| The snow was bad on the new line
and trains were sent through Baraboo
Stock UnIoaded Here
Eight cars of cattle and three cars
of hogs from the west were unloaded
at the Baraboo yards to be fed and
watered. There was no room for five
cars of horses, and they were hurried
to Rockford to be cared for Some Of
the stock was loaded on Sunday even
ing and the remainder later. r. L

Sleep in Depots

Travelling men stranded here Games
ville) with only ten or fifteen dollars
in their possession, thought to engage
in a friendly little game to while
away what they thought would be
only a few hours in the city. AS a re-
suit many of them lacked funds to
obtain lodging and were forced to
sleep in the depots all night. Both
depots were kept open to the strand
ed passengers, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday nights, and many Of them took
advantage of the opportunity to sleep
there All hotels were crowded to ca
pacity for the three nights, but the
majority of the guests checked out
this morning and left for their desti-
nations.
Seven local men stalled in Beloit,
Saturday, started out at 4:30 in the
afternoon to walk to GAINESVILLE. Five
dropped off at different stages of the
Journey and rested at farm houses,
while the other two kept at it until
they arrived here at 1920 Saturday
night, being six hours on the road.
They followed the interurban tracks
most of the way, and encountered
drifts waist-deeD.

Many heart-rending conditions re-
suited from the train tie-up. One man
was on his way to his mothers flu
neral and was delayed here and una
BILE to leave town until this morning.

A large bottle costs but few cents,
and if it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
constipation, you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant

harmless to both children and adults
Take spoonful at night and wake up

GERMANS MASS BIG
ARMY FOR ATTACKS
[Continucd from First Page

Ancre rivers, almost directly east of
AmienS.
1t is not improbable that the Ger
mans may attack simultaneously the
British lines in Flanders and those
directly north of the Somme in an
effort to wipe out the strong Arras
position. Field Marshal Haig has
held stubbornly to the Arras sector
for a month and his line south of
Albert has fought off numerous en-
emy attacks since the first week of
the offensive movement. South Of
the Somme the German artillery fire
continues strong on the Montdidier-
Noyon sector.
Airmcn Drop Bombs
Anglo-French airmen are harass-
ing the enemy by dropping many
tons of bombs on his military estab
l'shments behind both battlefronts.
In aerial fighting thirty-seven Ger
man airplanes have been accounted
for by allied aviators.
The Germans have not repeated
their attack on the American lines
east of st. Mihiel. General Per-
shinc is understood to have reported
to Washington that the American
casualties in Saturdays brisk fight
exceeded 200 and that those of the
enemy were between 500 and 400.
Fighting operations in Macedonia.
although evidently not on large
scale, are quite active. British Ser
bian, French and Italian troops have
been engaged with the enemy on the
front between Monastir and Doiran.
At Ventrenik the Serbians captured
a position from the Bulgarians and
held it against counterattack. The
allied artillery has been firing heav-
lily on the enemy positions
Dutch Get Ultimatum
Relations between Holland and
Germany are again reported near
the breaking point and the situa-
ton is said to be looked upon with
in official circles in London.
Rumors are current i'm the Brit
ish capital that Holland has been
served by Germany with a demand
approaching an ultimatum. The
Dutch press is becoming uneasy re-
garding Germany's attitude toward
the smaller country
