| Mr.. Winslow Cotton, former residen
of Cato, died last week in Milwaukee, G
congestion of the lungs. In complianc
with his own request, his remains no'
rest in the cemetery at Cato, where hi
wife was buried M any years ago. Thos
who have been interested in the littl
church at that place, cannot forget Mr.
Cotton, whose christian lie, and beauti
full singing, formed an interesting par
of It's early history.
Mrs. L. Classon, OF Cato, died il
Greenleaf last week, where she had beef
visiting friends. Her remains wsr,
brought home for burial.
Mr.. t. Halloran will have a cheese fac
tory on his farm next spring.
Mr.. d. Morgan and sons have hiret
MIR. Pierce of Sheboygan Falls. who hal
had seven years experience in cheese
making, most of the time in the employ
of the State Dairymens' Association. HI
will be here in March, to superintend the
building of their faotrry.
DR.. Hayes of st. Nazianz, performed {
successful surgical operation yesterday
on the eye of Mr.. j. Grim of this place
that will not soon be forgotten. A doc
tor so skillful and so entirely devoted tc
his profession is blessing to the com
munity in which he lives.
Mrs. Rapple, relict of the late Stephen
A. Rapple, died about two weeks ago al
the residence of her son, Mr.. WenzeI
Rapple.
The quilting party, dance and masque.
rade entertainment at Mr.. Bolls, the 9th
er evening, was highly enjoyed by very
large company of young people. Al.
though the house were literally crowded
good order was maintained throughout.
IKE Nord Weston directs its attention
mainly to The Pilot this week, thus
granting Judge Kirwan a short respite.
We haYe seen fit to make comments OIL
what Mr.. Schmidt writes on local poll.
teal questions because until lately, we
were willing to accord him the need of
sincerity, and believed that he would not
knowingly distort facts for the purpose
of creating prejudice against person
with whom he is not on terms of cordial
ty. We have ignored tho petty and
spiteful attacks of The Tribune. They
have not in them a single element of
manly opposition and are utterly inca
pable of provoking a retort from any one
mindful of the proprieties of gentlemanly
intercourse.
Mr.. Schmidt is not blackguard and
one might reasonably expect that his in
vective would not be marred by vulgari-
ty or his argument by Justification. In
the former we have not been disappoint-
ed, although in the latter Mr.. Schmidt
sins consciously and maliciously. He
knows as well as all his readers that his
articles on the county judgeship were
purely malicious and entirely unprovok-
ed. His explanation that they were call
ed out by articles in The Pilot he knows
to be false, wholly and absolutely. He
cannot quote one single sentence from
The Pilot derogatory to any German can
didate. We have too much respect for
ourself and for the many Germans whose
friendship we may with justice claim, to
thus stultify ourself. Such q statement
in the absence of all facts in support of
it can only subject the editor Of The
Nord- Weston to the charge of willful
misrepresentation. Another argument
of the Nord- Weston that we can well af-
ford to despise, is the question raised of
our democracy. If The Pilot has not
written ten lines in support of every can
didate nominated by the democratic par
ty since the present editor has control, to
one written by The Nord-Westen we are
willing to acknowledge that Carl Schmidt
is right in all things.
This controversy has been begun by
the Nord- Weston. We have not been
anxious TO forestall the work of the con-
vention and had not one word to sag in
regard to the qualifications of the candi.
dates until Mr.. Schmidt tried to defeat
Judge Kirwan on the question of nation
atty. We know of no obligation we are
under to allow without protest any man
to assail an officer whose official and per.
sonal conduct has always been above re.
proach. in the interest of an opposing
candidate.
