Dwight, S. WEIGH was born on a
farm in the Town of Delton, Sank
County, Wisconsin, January 13,
1874. In the early pioneer days his
parents came to Sank County
where they struggled against the
hardships which were common to
all settlers of that time. The stur-
DIV New England stock of which
Mr.. WEIGH is a descendant took a
very important part in the early
development of Sank County and
of Wisconsin.
Mr.. WEIGH has been engaged in
farming in Sank County nearly all
his life, the only exceptions being
few years spent on a farm in
Barron County, and three years in
the transfer business in the City
of Barron. In recent years his farm
ing activities have run primarily to
feeding beef cattle and raising
hogs.
His present farm consists of two
hundred acres of exceptionally good
soil, located on State Trunk High
way No. u, two miles south Of
BaraboO. The celebrated Skillet

children whose parents were of
that communion. Whether this
school or one at Green Bay was
the first in our then future State,
do not know The Green Bay
school was started by o. G. Ellis of
the Episcopal Mission. Probably
the two schools were started
about the same time.
Another event of 1926 deserves
to be comm by us Con-
gregational folks-the coming to
Statesburg, now Kaukauna, of the
Indian Church that was organized
in 1856 at Stockbridge, Massachu-
sets. The forty intervening years
had been spent at New Stock
bridge, now Stockbridge, New York.
Not all of the Stockbridge In
dams church came in 1925, but
we may count that as the principal
year of removal.
At Statesburg this church and
the one that had come thither in
1922 became one. Through three
churches we have in Wisconsin
priority in time of unbroken SER
vice over all other Christian COM
munions.
Deacon and Chief John MetoXen
was practically pastor of this
church. In place of sermons he
read Chott's Commentaries. He
was one who entertained the be-
lief that our American Indians,
and so, of course, his people and
himself, were descendants of the
lost tribes of Israel. His brother
did a gallant exploit for the colon
lists in the Anti-Tory war that
we often call the American ReVol-
ution.
Editors Note: Tt is said that all
the Warrens in America, including
the Baraboo family, have descended
from the Warren of Bunker Hill
fame.

Lightning Hits
Miller House

Lightning which accompanied
the thunderstorm of last night was
exceptionally sharp and gave many
residents much alarm
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
G. Miller, 715 Fifth street, bolt
of lightning entered one Of the
upstairs bedrooms, followed an
iron bedstead through the floor and
around a room below, and out of
partially opened window, setting
fire to a blanket and smashing a
mirror in its path.
A peculiar circumstance was the
fact that Orlo Miller, a son, had
been occupying the bed which was
struck during a visit here and left
just yesterday for Washington.

Driving from Baraboo to Ma
olson, the road through Mazoman-
lie, Black Earth and Cross Plains
is sometimes taken in order to
oh tain a change of scenery. An
interesting road extends from Black
Earth to Mount Horeb and to ag-
ain vary the ride this highway may
be taken, there being a wide road
from Mount Horeb to Madison.
The most interesting object on
the Black Earth Mount Horeb road
is the famous Rustic spring, nam
ed for Johannes Rustic, an early
resident there. In the early days 1t
flowed across the highway but
now it finds it's way through
culvert into a small brick building

After the railroad reached Black
Earth, the first road to cross the

much travel from the vicinity of
Mount Horeb to Black Earth to

farmers stopped at the spring to
water their horses and rest. Con-

M. c. Crandall Of Baraboo has
received a copy of the Wiscon-
sin Congregational Church Life"
in which Rev. j. N. Davidson of
Madison, contributes the follow
ing.
SO far as I have been able to
ascertain, the first Congregational
lists who came to what is now Wis
consin were the Warren brothers,
lyman Marcus and Truman Abra-
ham, natives of Berkshire county,
Massachusetts, descendants of
Richard Warren, a Mayflower pill
grim of 1920, and SO related to
the Warren of Bunker Hill re-
nown
These brothers came in 1918 to
Madison Island, where they enter
ed into the service of fur trad
er, Michael Cadotte,, himself a
native Of our Lake Superior re-
gion. The brothers became his sons
n-law. In 1919 a son was born to
Lyman, to whom was given the
name James Henry. This son,
descendant as we have seen of
two old American families, enter
ed the Congregational ministry and
became Home Missionary Superin-
tendent of California. A son of
truman A. Warren, William Whip
pie Warren, wrote the best his
tory that we have of the Ojibways.
The father died in 1926.
In the spring of that year a
sister Of L. M. and T. A. Warren,
Mrs. James H. Lockwood, led the
work of establishing a Sunday
School at Prairie du CHEN. She
had helpers, DR. Edwin James of
the United States army, himself
in preference a Baptist, and a Miss

people that they used a Roman

NEW BIBLE DOES NOT MENTION WINE
Shorter Version Published by
 New York Printers

New York, March 1S,--A new. Bible, based on the oldest Hebrew text available, and from which are eliminated references to wine famil- far in the King James version. has been published by Charles Scribners sons. Issued in two volumes, the new version is known as the shorter Bible.
 The quotation In other versions Of the Bible about David dealing out "a cake or bread and good piece of flesh and flagon of wine," ap- pears in the Shorter Bible as "a roll of bread, a portion of meat and a cake of raisins." The prophet lsaiah's reference to the children of Israel looking to other Gods and flowing Aagons of wine'h appears in the new Bible as although they turn to oth- CT Gods and loved to eat raisincakes at their festivals"
 The Shorter Bible, however, con- tains the phrases, wine is a mock or," strong drink is turbulent" "so

look not on wine when it Is red" and be careful not to drink any wine or intoxicating drink"
 Hugh r. Fox. editor of the Peri- scope, an prohibition publica- ton, criticised the new Bible for its manner of reference to wine.
 "Elther the word has been deleted, wherever the Bible gives 1t favorable mention," he said, ''or its meaning has been changed"
 New Headings,
 The editors of the Shorter Bible also have written new headings for various chapters. The song of Solo, mon is entitled Love and Mar riage," the characters being "fhe Iover," "The Maiden" "The Bride groom" and the Bride" The new edition was translated by Charles Foster Kent, Woolsey pro- lessor of biblical literature at Yale in collaboration with Prof c. T. Torrey of Yale; H. A. sherman head of the religious department oi scrlbners; Frederick Harris of tho Y. M. c. A., and Ethel Cutler of tho I '. w. c. A.
 Mir. sherman asserted the Shorter Bible was free from any prohibition bias.
 "We thought in terms of scholar | ship" he said. At no time did an. question of liquor or prohibition | come up."
