paper said neither as much nor that as
strong as the principle speaker did

ply word against the efficiency and

or professor. In fact, he very wisely,
kindly and courteously prefaced his re-
marks on several occasions with a
statement that he did not want to be
construed into a criticism of any one;
for he thought the corps of teachers
each year had been real workers and

Every body of good sense that was

did not assert anything to the contrary,

Obituary..

DIED, in Potosi, Wis. July 5, 1888,
after lingering illness, Mrs. Mary
Gillian aged Sc years, months and
IL days. Deceased was born in Ohio
near Cincinnati on the 22nd of January
1922. Her parents (Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Krieser) removed to Dubuque,
Iowa, when she was only eleven years
of age. In the year 1886 she was
united in the holy bonds of matrimony
to the late Hon. Davis Gillian in Du-
buque, the ceremony being performed
by the late General Warner Lewis. Mrs.
Gillian lived very happy life with her
loved husband until 1852 when
he was taken from her by that
dreadful scourge cholera. She was
blessed with family of four boys and
three girls. all but one of whom survive
her to cherish the memory of loving
and devoted mother Mrs. Gillian was
woman beloved by all who knew her
and was never known to have an enc
my. She was kind and affectionate
to all and never forgot the early chris
tan teachings she received from her
parents. While she never united with
any church organization, she always
took the bible as guide through life and
during the last few years of her life she
was constant reader of the bible and
took great delight in reading and con
versing about the great and glorious
teachings of her blessed Saviour.
The children who survive her are
Henry, Louisa, Nathan, Frank, Joseph
inc and William. They are all residents
of this vicinity except Frank who is at
present located at Gilman, Colorado.
The funeral services were conducted by
the Rev. E. NJ. Cory, of Potosi, and the
remains were followed by large con-
course of neighbors and friends to the
cemetery in British Hollow.
The sons and daughters take this
method of returning thanks to all who
so kindly assisted them during the sick
ness and funeral of their loved mother.

DOMESTIC INFELCITY. Last Sunday
morning Mrs. Matthias Harrasche came
into town and swore out a complaint
against her husband-"the old Bohe-
mian"-for beating her and threaten
ing great bodily injury. Squire Bale
win issued warrant for his arrest and
Charlie Bennett went out and brought
the old man in. He had q hearing
next morning when the following facts
were brought out. II seems that he
had about $40 in gold hidden near
his place on pigeon " Within a few
months he has had couple of accidents
from which he nearly lost his life, and
he bethought him that in this world of
chance and change there was liability
of his sudden demise, and that the
knowledge of the whereabouts of his
hidden pelf would be buried with him.
He accordingly. on Saturday, revealed
to the partner of his joys and sorrows
(but not OF his gold) tho secret hiding
placing of his hidden treasure. The
following morning, being the Sabbath,
he went to pay his devotions to the
glittering idol that so many men have
worshipped. To his establishment the
gold was gone. He returned to the
house and demanded it of his wife-the
only one besides himself who knew
its hiding place. She disclaimed any
knowledge of its whereabouts. 1t may
be very impolite to dispute lady's
word, but this Harrasche did in the
most vehement manner. We would
not harrass We, readers, by giving the
details of this domestic unpleasantness.
Other cases of the kind have occurred
nearer home upon which we kept silent
and we wish TO treat all alike. Su6ce
it to say that the chastisement did not
produce the desired information as to
the whereabouts of the money, nor has
it yet been found SO far as we have
learned. The matter was settled SO
far as the court is concerned by putting
the aged Bohemian under bonds to keep
the peace. LATER-Charlie Bennett
has located tho money. 1t is all in the
family. Enough said.

Mount Ida.

We know that the columns of the
Grant County HHRALD are always open
to school news, and that school teachers
admire the kind disposition manifested
in the willingness of the editor in so
doing. On Saturday, July 7th last,
the scholars teacher and many in
terested in the education of the young,
participated in good enjoyable
time on the ground near the Mount
Ida Baptist Church. Deacon Borah
as usual assisted NJ. w. O'Brien,
Charles Tandy and Henry Long, in
preparing the platform, seats and
tables for the accommodation of the
many present. This is the last school
picnic that the teacher ever expects to
enjoy with her scholars in Mt Ida. She
has endeared the hearts of the chill
dren to her by her kind and affectionate
system of teaching. Mary Cooper was
deeply affected in bidding farewell, SO
were the children and friends. In
leaving, Mount Ida looses an excellent in
structor and she takes with her the best
wishes of the community, hoping hel
success will be good. We enclose the
programme for insertion in your ex
cellent county paper.

Coed Crop Prospects.

For several years past Mr.. Hugh A.
Moore has taken the measurment of the
corn in his fields on the morning of
July 4th. He gets the measurment of
the tallest and of the shortest stalk
he can find and gets as near as he can
an average for his whole acreage. This
year the shortest stalk he could find
was 81 inches, and the tallest 81 inches,
with an average of about IA inches.
This makes good comparison with the
average of other years. and gives US
what Mr.. Moore considers fair pros
pect for good crop:

The great meeting held in Chicago
for the purpose of nominating Pres
ident and Vice-president for the United
States of America, finished their work
we hope to the satisfaction of the
party who they represented, and that
others whose interest lies in the general
welfare of this great Republic will not
be led by party so much as to give their
vote against their own individual in
terests. Would it not be wise policy in
every individual to thoroughly canvas
the ground, and try to be satisfied
where the greatest good may be ex-
pected from the parties nominated in
the great contest?
In the nomination of so many indi-
viduals for the chief magistrate, GER
tainly weakens the parties contesting,
and they are not blind to the result
As nation our interests should be one,
for nation or even house divided
against itself must fall We trust
the voters in these United States will
reason these matters thoroughly, and
not put out their own eyes to spite
somebody else. Such course, viewed
by the great powers..of Europe, would be
considered worse than insanity. Do we
not boast as a nation of our powers to
govern wisely the greatest Republic on
earth? Then shall we by injudicious
voting defeat the desire of the nation?
Let our motto be, judge the future by
by the past.
Our choice would have been Gresham,
but we most sincerely trust that the
selection made, will result in their
election by an overwhelming majority
Let us all, whatever our business in life,
do our duty.
Our interests should be that of every
individual American citizen, let other
nations stand on their own interest,
we should guard ours against their
encroachment. Yours truly,

His answering devotion thereto, begin,

position or compensation. | repeat
that it is indeed fortunate for the voters
of old Grant to be thus enabled to repay
in measure the debt of gratitude they

DECIDED AGAINST THE CITY.-The
Public Square controversy was passed
upon by the Court of Appeals last
week. 1t will be remembered that in
June, '85, the Common Council passed
an ordinance SO altering market square
as to turn it into handsome park in
stead of hitching place for the bene-
fit of our county citizens, whereupon
the Street committee went to work
intending to remove the rocks and
hitching- posts, when several officers of
the county secured legal counsel and
a bill of injunction was prepared and
granted by Judge Clark, restraining
the Corporation committee from pro-
ceediug with the work. Subsequently
the city employed counsel and sought
to have the injunction dissolved. The
case was then carried to the Circuit
Court in March, 'S6, and Judge Turner
decided in favor of the city. Counsel
for the city then took the case to the
Court of Appeals, which has unani-
moisly decided in favor of the county,
and the injunction is made perpetual.
1t has thus been decided that the city
of Winchester has not the exclusive
right to determine and direct the uses
to which this property should be APP
propriated. The city will have about
5000 costs to pay, and il is to he regret
ted the city went ahead instead of try
ing to compromise with the county.
1t is now in order for the contestants
to come together and have satisfac-
tory understanding as to what dispo-
sition shall be made of this public
square, adjoining the Court Wnches-
ter Leader.
