Death OF John LOwth. ESQ.

On Friday evening last the Sd inst, at
1870 o'clock, Hon. John Lowth an old re-
sident of Dodge county and for several years
past Clerk of the Circuit Court of Dodge
county, died at his residence in juneau. af
ter an illness of only two days duration.
aged SIS years.
Born in Ireland the deceased at an early
age came with his parents to this country
and settled in Vermont, whence in 1913;
only FL years old, he emigrated to this state
and took up hisresidence at Lowell in Dodge
county, where with few short intervals he
continued to reside, until IL years ago,
when ne was elected Clerk of the Circuit
Court and removed to Juneau. At the time
OF his death he occupied the position of De-
putty Clerk of the Court, under appointment
from the Clerk elected last fall, Mr.. Eugene
O'Connor. He leaves widow, whom he
married 33 years ago, and eight children,
the youngest of whom is just growing into
manhood
The loss of few men will be more severely
felt than that of John Lowth, not only in
his family of which he was truly the head,
always assisting his children with his ripe
counsel but also in the community IN which
he resided, among his old neighbors and
friends, who for years had daily met him
and had always received kind and pleas
ant greeting from his lips. Of fine scholar
ship and great natural ability, he was al
ways ready to assist with his counsel all
who invoked his aid. To Dodge county
that he has faithfully served for many years,
first as the Clerk of the Board ofSupervisors
from l847 to 1852, member of the Assembly,
and later as Clerk of the Court, his death is
also great loss, for no man ever served
with greater faithfulness or greater abilities
in the positions to which he was elected or
appointed; it was, in fact, generally admitted
by all that Dodge county possessed no man
who could better conduct the responsible
and important office of Clerk of the Court
than Mr.. Lowth. He served the state for
some years in the capacity of Deputy War
den of the State Prison under the admins
tration Of Gov. Barstow, and his name had
been prominently mentioned in come ction
with the nomination for Secretary of State
on the Democratic ticket this fall, and it
would have added great strength to the
ticket, for all who knew him would have
admitted that no man could bring greater
ability to the Office.
The funeral Of the deceased took place
from bis late residence on Sunday afternoon
last under the auspices of the Temple of
Honor of which organization he was several
years past faithful member. Large dele

Free Buses and Free Fights.

The several Hotels in this city are now
running free buses for their houses, and
there Is music at the depots at train time.
Scuffies among the drivers are not infre-
queut, and black eyes seem to have become
a badge of the profe ssion. 1t is to be hoped
that the Railway Cos. will establish limits
and keep the drivers off the platforms, and
then they can have free fight on the ar
rival of every train if they want to, ana not
incommode the travelling public.

All who have tried it. its superiority;
