The Democratic Congressional con-
vention for the First district, held at
Burlington last Wednesday, nominated
the Hon. J. r. Doolittle, of Racine, for
member of congress. Doolttle appears
to be the most "willin' Barkis" that the
Democracy possesses, his apron being al
ways ready to have what will fall into It.
The Burlington nomination will prove to
be most empty honor, as Mr.. Doolittle
will realize when he is buried beneath a
majority of 4 900 votes for the Hon L. B.
Caswell.
The new letter-sheet envelope has
met with such favor at the twenty-seven
postoffices at which they were placed on
sale and the Postoffice department has
been so importuned by other Offices which
did not have them that it has been de-
cided to extend them to a number of
other large Offices throughout the country
Under the existing arrangement it will
never be possible to extend them to all
offices nor TO the small fourth -class
places, because it would entail too much
trouble in keeping the extra set of books,
which would be necessary, while the
company supplying the sheets undertakes
all risks of sale as we'll as of transporta-
ton.
CRUDE & Achtenhagen have added
TO their large assortment of dry goods
fine line of ready-made clothing, which
will be sold at the lowest market prices.
Ready.made suits from 1915, upwards.

"A girl named Emma Klein, claiming
to be from WATERFOWL, gave birth to a
child at the Grand Central Hotel Thurs
day night. Yesterday morning the child
was found dead, and Coroner Fricke is
to make an investigation. According to
the girls story, she had lived as do
nestle with farmer named Ponet, at
Hustisford, twelve miles from WATERFOWL
She says the father of the child is William
Ponet. son of the farmer, who brought
her here four days ago, and after making
an unsuccessful attempt to secure ad-
mittance for her to the county hospital,
left her at the hotel without a cent, and
returned home lwaukee Sentinel

The declination of E. G. McFetridge
to run for congress in the Second district
is unfortunate and to be regretted. But,
evidently, Mr.. McFetridge has numerous
personal friends among the Democrats
and Delaney's supporters whom he does
not desire to offend by running against
candidate from his own county. Mr..
McFetridge's position exhibits more con
sideratioD for personal friendships than
for party success in that district-Osh-
kosh Northwestern.
The seeming censure of the above para
graph is not deserved. II is scarcely
possible, in the first place, that Delaney
could be beaten by any Republican can
didate. Dodge county gave Cleveland an
even 5000 majority. and, popular rs Nc
Fetridge is there, he could not hope to
bring Delaney's majority much il any
below 2,000.s He would probably be able
to carry both Waukesha and Fond du
Lac counties. but Delaney's majority in
Washington would fully Offset whatever
they might do for him. Furthermore,
McFetridge has been handsomely used
by the Democracy Of Dodge county when
ever he has run for office, and we consider
that he is now entitled to credit for re-
fusing to lead the campaign against them
at time when the long cherished hope
of their hearts is in fair way of being
accomplished. There is no better Re-
publican in the state than Ed McFetridge,
but We believe that he is right in saying
that some man who has not been placed
under such obligations as he has should
be chosen to make the fight against De-
