members, the State canvassers went be-
hind the returns; took testimony that
some of the ballots were printed "Natt
Head" threw out these votes, and is
sred the summons to the candidate
who had minority of the votes as re-
turned. The purpose of this is entire
ly clear. It gave the Democratic can
didate his seat upon the opening of the
session /; it gave that party majority
in the Senate and now of course if
Mr.. Head contests the election, his
claim will be defeated
To show that the Democrats are
consistent in nothing save in the prac-
tice of defrauding the ballot box and
defeating the wishes of tie people
whenever they can find a pretext, we
recur to the contest between DR.. Nc
Dill and Judge Cate for the seat in
Congress from the Eighth District of
this State 1t will be remembered
that the former, who was the Republi-
can candidate, had majority of all
the votes cast, but that the Democratic
Canvassers of Wood County threw out
the returns from two precincts, the eff
feet of which was to give Judge Cate
a majority. DR.. McDill, by his coun-
sci, went before the State Board of
Canvassers, and claimed that the re.
jected votes should be counted but
the Board insisted that they could not
90 behind the returns that had been
certified to them, and accordingly gave
the certificate to Judge Cate. Now
observe that to count Democrat in,
the Wisconsin Canvassers refused to
60 behind the returns while to secure
a like object, the New Hampshire Cam
vassers went behind the returns, so far
back as the ballots themselves. In
the Wisconsin case the Supreme Court,
while characterizing in severe terms
the Wood County Canvassers, sustain
ed the action Of the State Board,
which shows that the proceeding of the
New Hampshire Board was a gross yio-
lation of law.
There is Just one com forting feature
of this outrage by the Democrats of
New Hampshire; it has proved that
there is some honesty in the so-called
independent press. The New York
Tribune, The New York Post, The
Springfield Republican and The Chi
cago Times condemn it as it deserves.

The Lumber Business of tho

The Lumber Business of the
w. '. r. R.-The expectations of
the most sanguine in the business
prospects and possibilities of the W.
V. Road as carrying line for tt, i'm
mense lumber business of the northern
Wisconsin pineries, is being more than
realized. Although the road has been
hardly more than year in operation,
yet it is taxed to it's utmost to furnish
The necessary means of transportation
for the millions of feet of lumber man.
ufactured at the several points between
Norway Ridge, Remington and Wau-
sau. Huge trains thunder over its
track every day. On Wednesday of
last week thirty-two cars passed over
the line from Wausau laden with the
finest quality of clear and first class
merchanable lumber, followed by
trains on Thursday and Friday of
nearly equal magnitude. Not a day
passes that nearly quarter million
feet does not find it's way over the line
destined for the great markets of Iowa
and Kansas. That this business will
increase rather than diminish is a foro-
gone conclusion. Another year will
find the business of lumber transpor-
tation nearly if not quite doubled.
We are informed that lumber is being
shipped from Oshkosh and the Bay,
over the G.. B. & M. line to the juno
ton of the w. v. Road and thence
down the Valley road to the western
prairies. The business of lumber
transportation alone is becoming i'm
mense under the management Of n essrs
Wyatt and Cromwell, to say nothing
of the general freight, and passenger
business which is steadily growing un-
der the careful m nagement of these
experienced railroad men.

and the quaint stories of his early
marriage and how he captured Phoebe
were listened to with great delight,
and the only thing that seemed to be
wanting was an old-fashioned dance,
such as he and his amiable wife had
oftentimes presided over.

that this couple may live to celebrate
their diamond wedding and still have
around them the children of to-day.

Golden Wedding.

On the 10Th ult. Mr.. Jesse D.
Sarles and wife, who have entertain
ed SO many Of our older citizens, for
SO many years prior to the advent of
railroads to this city, celebrated the
50th anniversary Of their wedding.
We find the following particulars in
the Milwaukee Times:
zone of the most remarkable and
interesting events that has ever trans
PRED in this locality, was the golden
wedding held in Armenia last night.
The happy couple WHO have lived to
enjoy the fftieth anniversary of their
plighted troth, are Mr.. and Mrs. J.
D. Sarles, formerly residents of Ra-
cine county, and known all over that
part of the state as having kept one
of the best hotels between Racine
and Dele7an, OF the old plank road,
fifteen miles from the Belle city of the
lakes.-That was before the times of
railroads in that section, and the mer-
ry voice of Uncle Jesse still rings in
the ears of all who ever received one
of his hearty welcomes.
On the 10Th day of May, 1926, IN
the beautiful little town of Wash
ington, Duchess county, n. Y, Mr.
Jesse d. Sarles was married to Miss
Phoebe Halleck.-For several years
they resided in Duchess county and
removed thence about the year 1S43
to Wisconsin, locating in what is now
the town of Yorkville, Racine coun-
ty. Uncle Jesse was one of those
fortunate fellows who succeeded in
bringing up large family of child
rem, to- wit-twelve in number; and
as there was no Partially raging in
his bosom, as regarded the sex Of his
offspring, he divided them equally
six boys and six girls. His object in
life seemed to be to leave behind a
good number of farmers, each pro-
vided with a good home, and conse-
quentiy he gathered under his own
title something over 1900 acres OF
land in Racine county, to leave his
children as heritage. However,
the old gent was doomed to disap.
pointment, for with one single ex-
ception, his sons are anything but
grangers.
In 1855 he disposed of his Racine
county property and purchased a
large tract of land in Juneau county
lying on the old stage road from New
Lisbon to Grand Rapids, about twelve
miles north of Necedah. Here he
has resided ever since; and here it
was the fftieth anniversary was cele-
brated. OF the twelve children all
are still living, and with the exception
of the second son, Daniel, were pres
ent. The children are somewhat
scattered over Uncle Sans domain,
ard are located as follows: John H.,
of the firm of Weston, Miner & Co.,
Boscobel; Mrs. VIM. II. Phelps, Ra-
cine; Daniel, Helena, NJ. T.; Simeon
B., of Weston, Burch & Co., Dubu-

An Improvement --Severa

An improvement Several years
ago there was man just about half
cooked, who took the thought into his
head, as many such people do, that he
could obtain a livelihood with more
ease by lecturing than by doing any
thing else. Accordingly he ransacked
all spelling book stories and school
readers for lecture material. And with
great care wrote one on the "Life and
Times of George Washington. He
then got it printed for the purpose of
reading it with greater ease, and start
ed on his lecture tour through the
Eastern portion of this state. His
lecture was first delivered before a
Manitowoe audience, and as he APP
preached the very marrow and fairness
of his theme he gave utterance to Ian
guage as follows: "When George
Washington was boy he feared to tell
a lie when George Washington be-
came a man, he was not afeared to die. ,
Now ladies and gentlemen draw your
inference At that instant a gentle
man in the audience sprang to his feet,
and said "Mr Speaker; won't you
please repeat that sublime statement
once more for it really is the grand
est of anything that I ever listened
to in my life > The statement was
repeated, whereupon the audience
unanimously exclaimed '.Splendid
perfectly splendid - Then another
gentleman called for it, and was re-
peated. and then another, and it was
again repeated, until it had been call
ed for and repeated from six to ten
times.
Now then. Inasmuch as the lecture
above referred to was was on the life
and times Of George Washington.
And, inasmuch as Mr.. Peck's given
name is George Washington, [ think
it would be emipently becoming for
him to take the above sublime state
ment," appropriate it to himself, and
weave it in as the grand climax of his
lecture on the "mule,'' 1t would GER
tainly be wonderful improvement.

congregational Convention.

The Lemonweir Convention met ac-
cording to appointment with the Con-
gregational Church at New Chester,
June Ist, at IL o'clock P. M. The
evening was dark and rainy, and but few
were out; but those present had good
time. Brethren Doe and Norton from
Ripon, P. R. Staples, Dea. Luther Sto-
well, with their wives, and Mrs. VIM.
G. Smith, from Friendship. brother
Donaldson from Hancock, with a few
more friends of New Chester, met at
the Old Parsonage, where Father Per-
kins so long lived. We found his son
James W. and his young wife, ready
TO welcome us with genuine hospitality.
We knew from the first that we were
welcome. If any are curious to know
how they managed to eat and sleep so
many of us, they must 60 sometime to
ono of our Conventions and see how
such things are done. We can only
say it was to the entire satisfaction of
all. After having cared for our beasts
and partaken of bountiful supper, we
visited Father Perkins grave, where
think the impetus that stirred all our
hearts to work for God and man was
given to us-or at least it was kindled
anew.
The evening meeting, led by the pas
tor of the Church, was type of all the
subsequent me ,tings We felt that
the good spirit was with us-that we
loved each ether, beca use the love OF
Christ was shed abroad in our hearts.
Wednesday morning other brethren
and sisters arrived, and good congre
cation assembled.
