YhGt the Ballots Told.

Last Tuesday was the day appoint
ed for holding the Village election.
The day was bright and clear, but a
cold and disagreeable wind prevailed
which made it very disagreeable for
the outside workers. The vote polled
was the largest ever polled in Douglas
county, 81 ballots, and all within
village limits. The day was holly
contested one between tie opposing
factions, and some who fit sure of an
easy victory in the morning were
numbered with the slain and the van
pushed when the battle ceased. The
ZINES voted for some Of the victors
bat the heft OF its ticket was put III
the ditch. Oar first defeat was in the
Republican convention when the
party coolly threw Mr.. Whitney, can
did;;te for the treasurership, under
the table, and refused to honor faith
tul member of the party, because he
had not been put upon the slate. The
ticket made at that convention, taken
az Il Whole, Indicated pretty clearly
that the Republicans of Superior were
earnestly looking for the shortest way
10 lis political sheol. This was SO APP
parent even 10 those who were nom
inated that they at once set about
making combinations with other fac
tiuns and parties, some going to the
Democrats for strength, others to the
Saloon Keepers Association, and
others 70 the Labor Party, etc, each
trying to elect himself and not caring
what became Of his brother or neigh
Dor on The ticket. AS might be ex-
peclcd their sheol was found IF onr
foresight WAS defective let US try and
profit by our hindsight, aud hereafter
Try and unite the party, rather than
disrupt it. The resul, OF Tuesday 5
contest is as follows:

b. a. e. Entertainment.

The entertainment given by the G.
A. X. boys at the West End last Sat
urday evening came near being a
failure, and would have been had il
been other than ''old vets" at the top
and bottom of it. A storm of rain,
snow and wind prevailed all day and
night and 1t required Il good deal of
grit to get out at all, but especially
So tor those living at the East End.
but they were, generally speaking,
there. and the hall was reasonably
well tilled during the evening Mrs.
llobie, the commander-in- chief Of the
commissary department, assisted by
her able Aids, Miss Blanche Daniels,
the Misses Maud and LaGra Brown and
Miss Webster, had the tables elegant
ly spread and loaded with pork and
beans and everything else that was
good, and In great abundance. Rev
j. Il. Webster, who is host within
himself, told some of his war expert
ence, selections were read BY Mr..
Webster. Jr., Miss Blanche Daniels
and ;. f. Tubbs, and between these
acts a quartette of voices, Messrs.
Shehan, Ross, Rust and Smead, rem
dered appropriate war songs, all tend
ing to make the occasion very en-
joyable one Notwithstanding the
storm.
As token of esteem for their late
commander and his estimable wife,
the members of the post presented
Mr.. and Mrs. Robe with handsome
Autograph Album in which each one
had recorded his regimet and date of
enlistment. Comrade Webster made
the presentation speech to which Mr..
Robbie replied in few touching and
wei! chosen words.
After this the surplus in the COM
mlssary was disposed of at auction,
from which six or seven dollars were
realized. At this time the sound of
the whistle was heard and the gather
ing broke up. These gatherings
should be more frequent in the future.
The boys tender a vote of thanks to
the singers, Mrs Robe and tie pretty
waiter girl, and to all Others who 50
kindly aided i'll making the occasion
so enjoyable.

Mrs Sally Maxson, whose i'll
ness was noted two weeks ago, died
quite suddenly Tuesday morning last.
For several days it was thought that
she would get up again and be able
to return to her home in Minnesota,
but the inirmilies of old age were
quietly doing their work, and Tues
day morning her life was ended. Mrs.
Mayson WAS Il native Of New York
state and settled in Minnesota 80
years ago in September. She was a
little more than y years Of age, and
leayes a husband and a large family
of sons and daughters to recount her
noble and christian motherly virtues.
Her remains were taken to Blue
Earth City, Mimi, for burial. The
tEsiGs extends its sympathies to the
sorrowing members of the .amily.

feeling world, Mr.. Tanning ran pretty
well last Tuesday, and surprised the

~ politicians wc VT Of will find that
il is one thing 10 read a man out of

another thing to make the fellow get

men may ruin party bat they can
not control it, especially when that
party is the thinking, reading and
