Many Changes
In 80 Years

Looking up and down the
streets of Baraboo one notes many
changes in thirty years, since The
Baraboo Daily News was estab-
lished. The Chicago & Northwes-
tern General office, the passenger
station, the high school building,
the courthouse and number of
the churches have given way to
new buildings. A new federal
building and library have also
come in that time as we'll as a num-
Der of business places.
Of the business people who were
familiar on the streets in 1894 but
few are behind their counters or
desks today. Some of these are j.
Van Orden, j. B. Donovan. T.
Clavadatscher, M. H. Mould, H. M.
Acott, A. Reinking, Henry Koppke
and the Kasiska's.
The ministers of thirty years
ago are all gone and of the law
yers and doctors but one each are
left.
There are some business and
professional men about town who
were active thirty years ago-not
engaged in business now and
among these are J. Hoppe, F. G.
Peck, E. A. Fisher, Judge w. It.
Kelsey, Charles Junge, l.. j.. Horst
man, Werlich Bros. and R. B.
Griggs.
l.. NJ. Jacobs has shaved through
the three decades. August Killian
still shapes horseshoes, Ferd Eff
finger has changed his plant to the
making of ice cream, j. r. HOf-
slater operates store for N. II.
Smith, August Bartz continues the
manufacture of cigars, the Coll
mars have retired, Jonn and Char
les Ringing live elsewhere, U.
Won Valid resides in Madison, DIR.
j. r. Sneathen continues dentistry,
M. G. Hacker has bound more than
a five foot shelf of books, John

plumbers.
OF the seven notaries at that
time. Charles Coleman alone re-
mains.
M. A Warren owned and oper-
ated the lighting plant in Baraboo
in 1894.
Others might be mentioned but
these names are quite sufficient to
indicate what changes have taken
place if the observer compares the
two extremes of time -1894-1924.
