in his acquittal. Papers were made
out for his arrest, and were served
on him at his home in this village.

taken to Menomonie, where he plead
not guilty to the charge of seduction
and adultery, waived his examination,
and was admitted to bail in the sum
of 8400, which was promptly furnish
ed by Messrs. Galloway and Dickson, Of
Menomonie. His trial will probably
take place in September, at the cir

will be defended by Col. Spooner, of

River Falls. 1t is understood that the
prosecution will be ably represented.

TIE Democratic State Convention
has been called to meet at Milwaukee
September 2Sth, 1881. There are a
goodly number of Democrats who are
opposed to the nomination Of d Demo-
cratic State ticket, but whether or not
this element is of sufficient magnitude
to make its influence felt in the con-
vention is matter of conjecture.

The Hudson Star and Times advo-
Gates the nomination of Hon. Hiram
Smith for Governor, in Difference to
the wishes of the agricultural class.
If Mr.. Smith enjoys any better claims
to support on agricultural grounds
than ii. B. Warner, we are at a loss to
know in what they consist. Mr.. Smith
is dairyman, and has won distinc-
ton as a cheese maker. Mr.. Warner,
when called to official position, was a
practical farmer, doing his own work,
still owns and controls his farm, and
has the same interest therein that any
other farmer would have in his own
farm while acting as Governor.

PUBLIC sentiment throughout the
State seems to be gradually crystaliz-
ing around Hon. Hans b. Warner for
Governor, Captain E. G. Timme for
Secretary of State, and Hon. Robert
McCurdy for State Treasurer. In the
nomination of these three men, the
soldiers, farmers, Americans, Scandi-
naylans and Germans would be repre-
sented by competent and worthy men,,
while the polital, corporation and fed
eral oflce-holding regency that aspires
to political control in this State would
find in them affable and obliging pub
lie servants, but not seryile tools. The
rank and file of the party have it in
their power by nominating these men
to smash the political machine which
is now being carefully set to grind out
a State ticket, made up of bankers and
representatives of the corporation po-
litical crowd. viii the masses of the
party step forward and prove them
selves equal to the emergency

1t affords us pleasure to place before
our readers to-day an electrotype por-
trait of Captain Ernst G. Timme, of
Kenosha, whom the people of Wiscon.
sin will probably choose to succeed
Hon. Hans b. Warner, Us Secretary of
State. Captain Timme is represen-
tative German american, and ut the
early age of seventeen years, demon
strated his loyalty to his adopted
country by entering the army in its
defense, as member of Company c.
Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, III 1861.
He proved himself Il gallant soldier,
fearless and true, and after going
through many hard-fought battles, on
the second day of the fight at Chica-
manga, lost an arm. Thus disabled,
he returned home and fitted himself
for business career, and in 1866 WAS
elected County Clerk of Kenosha
county, a position which he has ever
since acceptably filled, affording him
an official experience which should
abundantly qualify him for the office
of Secretary Of State. Besides Icing
representative German, he is rep
resentative soldier, and his comrades
from all portions of the State arc rally
ing TO his support. His army associ-
ates and his empty sleeve bear ample
testimony to his gallantry as a soldier,
and his neighbors vouch for his worth
as a citizen, and his ability us a public
officer. He is universally held in high
esteem wherever known, and is a gen
tleman of sterling integrity, whose
nomination by the Republican conven-
ton to the office of Secretary of State
we hope to be able to chronicle.

TIE Racine News puts it in this way
when referring to Mr.. Warmers can
didacy for the governorship: Hans
B. Warner is by far the most accepta-
BILE candidate thus far mentioned for
Governorship. He has, while serving
the people of Wisconsin as Secretary
of State, shown himself to be a man
of excellent executive ability, thor
oughly honest in every word and act,
and the possessor of a vast amount OF
common sense. We believe that the
Badger State cannot make a better
choice than Mr.. Warner for Governor.

searchers after knowledge. The great "Li-
brary of Universal Knowledge" is an
nounced to be completed, ready for delivery

more matter than AppIeton's Encyclopedia,

cially In the fact that it is brought within

HARRY MOORE, of Van-Wert, returned
from the West on Saturday. When he left
Kansas, people farmers = were cutting
wheat. Yt came by way of Canada, and
when he got up into that north country he
was surprised to find farmers there planting
corn. Mr.. Moore is convinced that he las
seen good deal of Western life. His last
experience was the most unfay orable; il
was nothing short of one of the famous
cyclones. 1t was only day or two before
he left for home that he was stopping with
frlend-formerly a citizen of Juniata
county-in Lyous county, Kansas. They
had gone to the barn in the evening. Look
ing across .he country he noticed a dark
cloud and he Immediately remarked, "ls
not that one of the great storms we read
about, coming there 2" "Oh, no." said
his friend, 90 thes never come this way"
Ten minutes had not elapsed till the storm
broke upon them, and it was with difficulty
that they reached the house. The windows
house was shaking and moving as if ready
to 90 of in the storm. Fortunately it was
not carried away as number of others in
that vicinity were. Two neighbors were
killed and two were wounded in a house
not far away. When he left, the wounded
were not expected to I've. Cattle disap-
peared with the storm, and day and hall
afterwards had not been found. A large
wagon-bet had come down in the eddy OF
the wind on the lee side of the house. II
had been picked up two miles away and
brought that far in the whirl of the storm.
After the storm the evening became as calm
as it had been previous to the coming oi
the cyclone.
