Brackett, at Eau Claire, was attacked by
the fatal disease on his journey and died
on the 9th inst.
He had lived to see his family grow up
about him and all of them filing honorable
stations in life. The deceased will be very
much missed, not only BY his family and
nearer relations and friends but by all OF
the community in which he lived, and in
which he has ever been one of the boldest
advocates of all reforms, and especially in
the temperance movement as well as public
scho Is ard public Improvements. He was
a man of even more than liberal hospitali-
ty; his hand was ever open to the needy
and distressed. and TO some of his more
immediate relations, he has shown more
than usual kindness-he has been even a: q
father.
He was kind husband and indulgent
father, and by an honorable and upright
course in life, won the esteem ara friend
ship of all with whom he came in contact

DIED..

In the city of Eau Claire, of erysipclas,
at the residence of his son, J. NJ. Bracket,
Hon, Joseph W. Bracket, of this place,
aged - yrs, 6 mos.
Mr. Brackett was native of New Hamp-
shire, having been born in Lancaster, in
the year 1900. He Migrated to Geangu
Co., Ohio, in 1926, and resided there un-
til 1912, at which time he moved to Wis
consin, locating in the town of Brookfeld,
now Waukesha Co., then Milwaukee Co
Mr.. Bracket was man of good ability
occupying during his life several prominent
positions. He was county judge OF Geauga
Co, Ohio, while residing in that State, and
ber of the first Wisconsin Legislature.
In 1913, being thea Democrat, he and
Shoals with one other Democrat, taking
exceptions to Cass Nicholson's letter left
the Democratic party and gave signal aid
in the organization of the Free Soil Party.
In 1854, Mr. Bracket removed to Grant
Co., Wis, where he has since resided, being
a member of the Grant County Bar and a
lawyer.
Judge Bracket was man of more than
ordinary ability and intelligence, and early
in life mantle ted love for history and
god and substantial reading, or would
prefer to listen to the conversation of his fa-
the- and others upon the topics of the day
than to light reading or other Improbable
amusemeDts.
Mr. Braekett while living 10 Ohio be-
came an active member of the Disciple
Church, and was well versed in the writings
of their Leader, Alexander Campbell. On
coming TO this place there being no church
of his own denomination, he did not unite
with any other, but was regular attendant
of public worship.
During the late revival meetings held ir
this place, he manifested more zeal and in
terest than he had for years, and enjoyed
them very much; and after one ofthe Bible
meetings remarked to the family at the tea
table. that should he fall at any time he
elieved he was prepared to go; aud may
have felt before be started on his journey,

A Soar FACToRY.-The Shasta CoURI
Err suggests to the butchers of Shasta that
they should attach soap factories to their
shops and manufacture the surplus fai
which accumulates on their handsinto soap
Our butchers, probably have enough to do
without adding the labor and cares of the
boiler, to their present duties. But the
hint thrown out by the COURIER is of a
practical character, and we think perhaps
might be turned to account here as well as
there While we are not particularly i'm
pressed with the idea of soap facttry be
ing attached, as an adjunct, to butcher
shop, we do think there is something in
the idea Of converting the refuse fat which
accumulates ir butcher shops, hotels and
even private dwelling, into soap. We are
aware that the latest aud most approved
use for the refuse tallow about butcher
shops is to convert into butter, called by a
kind Of euphemism, eleomargaine, but we
shall be satisfied to take "ourn' in SOAP
Who will establish soap factory ?-Yreka
Union.
Wait until the Shasta factory starts and
then get supplies from here.

CALIFoRNIA-Was there ever such a
country before as California =? She is an
empire in herself. Were the State moved
into the sea, there would be nothing need
ed by her people but to develop her great
and diversified resources. Her wheat crop
this year will reach 30,000,000 bushels,
and yet her wheat producing area is not one
fourth appropriated Her fruits supply
the whole coast except Oregon; the East
begins to look to her for wines her wool
crop is enormous, and there is growing up
within her limits the finest stock of horses
and cattle in the world. Yet her popula-
ton is not 100000, and not decade has
passed since any prctensions were made in
regard to California as great agricultural
State She is not halt appreciated YET. -
Were all the people of the United States
congregated within her borders, she would
sustain them all better than France can
provide for her thronging millions. Look
at hership exports; gold, wool, wheat, fruit,
wine, and these in no stinted quantities,
but by the millions, for her people do moth
ing small. What future is in store for
the Golden State when her thousands of
people increase to millions wien her wa
ters are turned into canals to feed the
thirsty plants when her foothills are COW
cred with vineyards when all the trade of
the mighty mysterious: East is dissemina-
ted by half a dozen transcoutinental rail
ways through the Union and to the world
beyond. California is constant study and
a constant surprise.

The tyrant, the bigamist, and the po-
lygamist are all restrained by society in
the practice of their passions. for the
reason that they debauch society So
ciety no longer believes that such people
are deprived of their liberty when they
are prevented by law from giving license
to their desires. Society now believes
that such liberty is destructive of the
beet interests of the whole people. hence
these desires and passions are kept ir
subjugatiou by law. But society has not
vet become intelligent enough to see how
much it is debauched by the liquor traf
fc. Once it understands how wide
spread the debauchery of this business is.
it will remove it, as it has in this coun
try removed tyranny, bigamy, poligamy
and slavery, and then express surprise
that it ever tolerated such an evil. and
laugh at itself for believing that it was
taking away the peoples liberty.
