The State election took place 10 Yer

ever expected change in the bleak bills
and white mountains capped With perpet.

A number Of democrats have been elected
10 different parts Of the State. and Poland,
the salary-grab, credit mobiher, and gag
law advocate, for whose success the Ad.
miuistrution made special effort, has been
badly beaten. This is a triumph worthy

That BUS Ride.-We took bus
ride the other day with Wiley. We
were expecting friends at the Tomah
depot, SO piled into the bus in hurry
in order to reach our object point with
despatch. And we did reach it with
despatch, and we came near being de-
spatched, we thought, before reaching
it. After crossing the bridge, it was
plain that there was rivalry between
the two lines. Lyons bus was just
before us, and ali at once we thought
the fence posts looked singular some
thing like fine tooth comb, and we
began to wonder what allied us. There
was one other passenger, a very pretty
girl, who had a spring hat,-we think
it was a spring hat, it may have been a
a set of parlor furniture, however,
We looked out Of the bow window and
the horses looked as though they were
reaching for something, they were very,
very long, and very close to the ground.
And then we looked out Of the side
window, and thought if we had long
ladder or a clothes line; we'd like to
get out Then we picked ourself UP
from under tie seat, and wondered
where our silk hat had gone to. We
noticed that The "pretty cir" was
making footstool of it, and just then
she seemed to have forgotten some
thing at the other end of the bus and
went for it, and we got our hat, and
we thought we heard her say Ma !!
Ma y and that 81 spring hat " had be-
gun to make the interior of that vehi-
Gle look like demoralized millinery
store. What with ribbons and feathers,
it looked very like sample room.
When we came down from the ceiling
we ventured to ask her if she was not
afraid. She said she was going to To-
nah. We told her we didn't know
where we were going, and she responded
g Yes, sir, thank yOu,'' and then we
each took another seat very quickly,
and We asked her to excuse Us for sit
ting In her lap. She said seventeen
last August, thank you and then her
back hair went out through one of the

Last Saturday this man died with the

it will dc them good to think Of these
