Death OF Il II. EC0nS.

Edward r. Evans died Tuesday even
ing, October 25th, 1881, at his home in
the Fourth ward, of injuries received
from a runaway accident which occurred
near Hubbleton last Saturday afternoon.
He was taking passenger to Waterloo,
and when opposite the residence of David
Bare, this side of the Hubbleton bridge,
the horses were frightened by board
slipping toward them and started on the
run, causing the king bolt to break, which
let the front part of the conveyance down
to the ground and threw Mr.. Evans out
with great force, injuring him on the
shoulder and chest. He was convened
to the residence of David Bare, close by,
where every kindness was shown him
Ee remained at Mr.. Bare's until Sunday
evening, when he was brought to town
on hand-car and conveyed to his home.
DIR. NJ. n. Barber was at once summoned
and did all in his power to alleviate the
sufferings of the unfortunate man, but
he appeared from the first to be beyond
hope, having evidently sustained fatal in
juries inwardly. He suffered intensely
until his eyes were closed in death, breath
ing his last shortly after seven o'clock
Thus ended the earthly career of one of
our best known citizens, whose familiar
form and merry, cheerful manner will be
sadly missed from our streets. Mr..
Evans was a man of strong force of char
acter resolute in his convictions and
given to be unyelding in disposition, but
withal possessed of a vein of humor and
good Dature that made all about him be-
times happy and pleasant. He was thor
oughly honest, with no deceit in his COM
position, and the warmest of friends. He
had clear, logical mind and early edu
catlonal advantages would have placed
him high in the intellectual scale. AS a
husband and father we need not speak.
The grief of the stricken wife and the
intense sorrow manifested by his children
testify to the love he was held in by them.
Mr.. Evans was native of Wales, com
ing to the United States, we believe,
while yet lad Since 1916 he had been
a resident of Watertown carrying on the
blacksmithing business until some 10
years since when he engaged in the liv-
cry business at the old Humphrey stand
on First street, continuing in this line
until his death. He was 80 years of age.
The funeral of Mr.. Evans will take place
from his late home Friday afternoon at 2
o'clock.

The Temperance Meeting.

The temperance rally at Turner Hall
last Thursday evening was not a success
in point of numbers, there being but
a comparatively few present. The meeting
was presided over by Rev. r. G. Bedford.
Rev E. L. Eaton, of Madison, addressed
the gathering advocating for short time
total abstinence and the suppression of
the liquor traffic in the old line of argu-
ment. The burden of Rev. Mr.. Eaton's
speech was in the support of the indie
pendent Prohibition ticket now in the
field. The speaker declared himself cut
aloof from the Republican party, and in
the present conflict between the Demo
cratic and Republican parties felt no more
interest in the success of one than in the
other. Not giving the people what he
deemed proper temperance legislation
and preventing a proposition for con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting the
sale and manufacture of intoxicating liq-
uors, to be voted for by the citizens of the
state, is the great crime he laid at the feet
ct the Republicans and for which he
should always remember them. The
speaker did not advance any argument to
show how the success of the democratic
ticket this fall through the action of the
Prohibitionists would be greatly condu-
Give to the cause of temperance which he
holds so dear Some went expecting, or
at least hoping, that Rev. Mr.. Eaton
would endeavor to enlighten his hearers
on this subject. Rev. Mr.. Eaten talked
from the stand point of politician advo-
eating the claims of particular party
and not like one enlisted in the agita-
ton of moral question, and in this re-
spect we think he disappointed a great
many of his listeners.

DEMOCRATIC CoNvENTIoN.-The dem
ocrats Of this assembly district will hold
a convention in this city next Saturday
afternoon for the purpose of nominating
an assemblyman. During the limited
time we spent in trying to find out who
were prospective candidates for assembly
honors, we mustered the following roll:
J. T. Moran, John O'Conner, Mount
Vernon) and Thos Shinnick, of the town
of WATERFOWL, Rev. Henry Faack and
Dan. Crowley, of this city, and the pres
ent member, II. E. Humphrey, of Ixonia.
All the precincts are not heard from yet
and the above list will doubtless be great
ly swelled by Saturday. The democracy
will not be troubled to find candidates,
but it is apprehended that they will labor
under the most difficulty in bringing for
ward a candidate, whose fitness and abili-
ty for the position Of assemblyman from
so important a district as this, will be
generally acknowledged.

The NEXT STATE TREAsURER.-Hon
Edward G. McFetridge, of Beaver Dam,
Republican candidate for State Treasur-
er, dropped in upon his numerous friends
here Saturday. Mr.. McFetridge was on
his way home from addressing large
and enthusiastic Republican meeting at
Fort Atkinson the evening before. He
gives an encouraging and hopeful view of
the canvass this fall and entertains no
doubt of the election of the entire Repub-
lican State ticket by good rousing ma
jority if the Republicans are up and do
ing and do not allow any marches to be
stolen upon them through side issues
Mr.. McFetridge firmly maintains that
the only hope the democrats have of sue
ceeding in November is based upon the
theory ofthe Republicans being sufficient
ly divided on the temperance question to
allow them to slip in. He cannot be-
lieve that any great number of Republic
ans can be hoodwinked in this way to
the great benefit Of the democracy.
