MoNTFoRT.

The political situation continues to
engage the attention of this community,
in common with other sections of the
third district. There evidently is still
the same devotion to MI. Hazelton, to-
day, that there was at the opening OF
the campaign. We are firm in the be-
lief that he was regularly nominated at
Monroe, and we are determined to stand
by the manly action of the Monroe Con-
ventiCn, and its honOre candidate.
The third district owes TO itself a duty.
and that duty it should faithfully dis
charge. 1t has been ably and honestly
represented at Washington for six
years, and il cannot now afford TO turn
lis high interests over to new and I'M
tried hands, SO long as there are skill
full hands ready and willing to perform
its work The duty, paramount 10 all
others, in this district, is the election OF
a Representative, able, experienced and
possessed of arational reputa ton. Mr..
Hazelton is the man. His rec lrd speaks
for itself.
Our public sch ,ol opened last Monday,
under the management of Prof. j. Is.
Logue. The departments are well
hlled, and bid Iatr to be fun OF interest.
The NJ. L. Church has been fortunate
in securing the services of Rev. J. b.
~Bauchman, for another year.
Business is comparatively quiet just
now. Building, however. goes on as
lively rs ever. Four new houses have
been added TO the list within the last
ten days.
Our Public Sale was well attended,
and satisfactory. Horses, sheep, hogs
and general merchandise were readily
taken.
The young folks now have under con-
temptation u Library and Reading
Room. We trust they will receive en-
enlargement from the older members
of society.
We were pleased to shake hands with
Capt. j. b. Mccoy, last evening, as lie
was returning home, after four weeks
absence in the discharge Of his official
duties. NoN NoBIs SoLUM.

Republican convention. although he
should vote the prohibition ticket

Republican convention. although he
should vote the prohibition ticket.
He thought however it was the wish
OF the convention to elect those they
nominated and the gentleman could pre-
sent q name for the office under consid-
Grafton which they could elect. 1t was
that of the present incumbant of that
office, X. G. Orr, who had made one of
the best and ablest officers the county
had ever had. The speaker had been
and talked with him and Mr.. Orr had
said he should vote for the amendment
If submitted to the people, but could not
vote the prohibition ticket on account of
ms previous nomination, but he would
not vote for any member of assembly
who would not vote to submit the amend
ment to the people. What more could
they ask. The gentleman presented the
name of Mr.. Orr.
: l.. j. Arthur said Mr.. Orr thought it
wrong to take the question of prohibi-
ton into politics. thought they ought
not to nominate . county ticket or con-
gresham.
Mr.. Wallace Humphrey thought there
was no use drawing the lines too tight
as by so doing they might lose n great
many votes they would otherwise get.
They had got to get a good many of the
same kind of men as Mr.. Orr. Had GOT
to coax men out Of the old party, You
can't drag them out. After some furth-
e~r discussion the matter came to a vote.
The whole number of votes east was
SO, of which r. A. Watkins received 40
and II. c. Orr Is. The result was re-
ceived with applause.
The office of Coroner was filled by the
nomination of ID. ID. UT which COM
pleted the ticket.
The convention then proceeded to
elect a county central committee as fol-
lows: w. n. Stone, Lancaster; chair
man; VIM. Dyer, of P~latteville; Rob't
Collier. of Patch Grove; A. V. Knapp,
of Lima and Wm. Bate, of Blooming
ton. ID. Is. Stevens was then endorsed
for member of assembly for the second
and the convention, or that por-
ton belonging to the third district, en-
tered into a long discussion as TO the
propriety of endorsing f. /. Kidd, the
Republican nominee from that district. |
The matter was finally settled by chos-
ing 2 district committee who were to
wait on Mr.. Kidd and find out whether
he would vote for the submission of the
prohibition amendment and if not, then
the committee would nominate a can
didate from that district. The com
mittee as appointed was Messrs. Bach
man. Patch and Burchard. This ques-
ton having been sati sfactorily settled a
district committee was appointed for
the second district as follows: w. Bar
low, ID. ID. UT, ID. Budworth. No furth-
then business appearing before the con-
vention a motion to adjourn was made
and carried.

Prohibition County Convention.

The Prohibitionists met in mass con-
v~ention at the Court House, IN this city,
last Wednesday. The convention was
called to order by Mr.. r. A. Watkins.
L. f. Baldwin was chosen chairman
and viii Stone, Secretary. Having got
the machinery in running order the con-
v~ention proceeded at once to the bust
ness of nominating county officers.
Sheriff coming first on the list Mr..
that place. On an informal ballot as
votes were cast of which Streeter re-
ceived 40. The ballot was made formal
and G. d. Streeter made the choice Of
the convention. For the Office of clerk
of the court Dan Needham, OF Patch
Grove, and Mat Bmchard of Fennimore,
were named. After some talk. during
which Mr.. Burchard was called upon
to make a profession of faith, and said
''that was the crowd he was going with"
Burchard was nominated for this office
Needham being withdrawn.
For the office of County Clerk, Mr.. ID.
ID. UT nominated C. w. Hill. Here
ensued considerable talk as to Mr.. Hills
standing as a prohibitionist which result
ed in a committee being appointed to
wait on the gentleman and find out his
views. The committee returned in a
few minutes and reported they were
satisfied to vote for Mr.. Hill on the
grounds that lie would Ork for the sub
mission of the amendment to the people
but would not pledge himself to vote the
prohibition ticket. This seemed salts
factory all around and Mr.. Hill was
nominated.
For the Office of treasurer Mr.. o. s..
Jones, of Harrison. and Mr.. Osborn. of
Bloomington, were proposed. A call
was made for more light on the question
of MIR. Jones' staunchness in the faith.
Delegates present testified to his having
been an earnest temperance worker for
thirty years. 1t was urged against him
on the other side that he had brought in
a minority report, at the meeting Of the
temperance convention. in Lancaster,
last spring, against the formation of a
new party. All admitted the s~oundness
of Mr.. Jones on the temperance ques-
ton and the work he had done and was
doing for that cause, but he was thought
not TO be a prohibitionist and was there
fore stood one side, Mr.. Osborn captur-
ing the nomination on the first formal
ballot, A. V. Knapp proving . close
second.
For Register of Deeds the names of
Dan Needham, of Patch Grove, and VIM.
Bate, of Bloomington, were presented.
After a short discussion the former was
nominated on the first ballot.
Mr.. Bate then nominated j. G. Scott
for the Office of County Surveyor. Mr..
L. J. Arthur moved he be nominated
by acclamation, carried and Mr.. Scott
was then nominated unanimously.
The mex office taken up was that of
District Attorney. Mr.. John Hurley
presented the name Of r. A. Watkins.

accordingly ruled the unfair jockey OF
the track.
The second heat of the free for all wa:
q tame affair, German Boy winning in /:
jog time, 2:42k.
When the horses came up for the fifth
heat OF the running race, a new rider
was on Blanch Butler. After one false
start, they got off in good form, and
when they showed clear of the tents and
houses, which INSTRUCTED the view for
the first half of the course, Lancaster
Belle was leading, which position she
maintained, winning the heat in 59!.
The result of the race was Lancaster
Belle first money, Little Flora second
money and Blanch Butler third money.
The third and last acc of the free for
all was a repetition of the two former.
The honest trotting and gaminess of
German Boy, who was manifestly labor
ing under the disadvantage of a lame
fore-foot, was the subject of much adj
miring comment. The time for this
heat was very slow, being 2:45l. The
race resulted in German Boy taking the
first money, Dick West second none
and Amy b third money. This ended
the racing In connection with this the
HERALD would suggest to the Associa-
ton the advisability of putting another
story on the judges stand, to be entered
by a trap door. In the present stand it
is next to impossible to see anything of
the horses for at least one-third of the
way around, and even then it has to be
done by lodging between heads and
taking the chances of a glimpse now
and then, on accoun of the crowded
condition of the stand. Another story
to the structure would obyiate this diff
Guilty, and then by stretching a wire
across the track a great deal of the
inconvenience accompanying correct
judgment of races on this track would
be done away with.
Shortly after the last heat had been
trotted, a yell arose from around the
balloon, and a second later the huge
ship of the air went sailing away with
the Professor doing trapeze work
from the bar that hung just below. The
ascension was much finer than the day
before, the height attained being nearly
three hundred feet. After remaining up
for some minutes, almost stationary, ii
dristed away and downwards, finally
landing on the Aoscobel road Il half a
mile away. This closed the Fair, and
the vast assembly filtered out through
the gates, leaving the grounds in possess
ion of the Waterman and the stock,
which had to wait over until morning.
Thus closed one of the most successful
exhibitions w held by the Grant
County Agricultural Society. Another
year with good weather, it should be "a
matter of pride with everybody to see
that this Fair surpasses anything in
Southwestern Wisconsin.
A meeting of the society was held
Friday afternoon at which tie following
list of officers were elected for the en-
suing year: President, j.. j. McKensie;
Vice Presidents, Thos. Tormey and p.
Mcnamara; Secretary, l.. j. Arthur;
Treasurer, w. j. Mccoy; Elk. Commit
tee, L. Holloway, VIM. Bateman, Thos.
Lawless, A. V. Knapp, German Walker.
The premium list will be prepared and
published next week.

Bold Break.

On last Thursday night the store of j.
L. Hicks Il Co, at Fennimore, was en-
tired by burglars, the safe blown open
and robbed of between thirty and forty
dollars, all the cash there was in the
drawer. Entrance was effected by cut
ting out n panel of the door. The work
on the safe showed that il was no tryos in
robbery that made the raid. The thieves
first drilled a hole in the front of the
safe TO the depth Of several inches, the
diameter Of the hole being slightly less
than that Of a lead pencil, finding they
were too neal the edge they drilled q Sc
cOnd hole several inches towards the
center Of The door, which was q fraction
larger than the first. This hole was
trimmed out for n short distance with a
larger drill and then filed with powder
and the door blown oper. The steel
money drawer Wa then forced open
and the drawer taken out and carried
down By the Yarrel House barn, where
it was found the next morning by some
boys, quite early. a check for seventy
dollars was left untouched. The boys
recognized the drawer as that belonging
T. the Hicks safe and carried it up to
Mr.. Hicks residence. This was tho
frst intimaiion they had received Of the
affair. An examination ofthe surround
ings was at once instituted when it was
found That all the tools but the two
small drills had been stolen from an
adjoining shop. Search for the thieves
was commenced and Friday night a
young man was arrested on suspicion
but was able to prove an alibi and let
go. Up to the present writing no further
arrests have been made although the
officers are on the trail Of suspected
parties.
