Spinning Our Own Yarn.

EAU CLAIRE, Oct. By the work
ings of the Mckinley bill, which is in
the interest of home industries, the
Eau Claire Linen Mill company has
determined upon spinning its own
yarn, and have ordered such machinery
as is necessary from Belfast, Ireland,
and Dundee, Scotland, which will cost
the company in the neighborhood of
$4,000, which includes duty. The fos-
tering of this industry in the United
States will compel che manufacture of
this machinery in this country, and in
two years, says HI. G. Putnam, of the
home concern, manufacturers in the
by the bill.
This is the establishment the former
proprietor of THE REPUBLICAN, J. H.
Keyes, is connected with.

After an illness of only about two
weeks, Mrs. George W. Morse, wife of
our clerk of court, died at her residence
here on Wednesday evening, leaving a
husband and a 4-year-old boy to mourn
her loss. She was, with her parents,
one of the early residents of this town,
and the large concourse of people at
tending the funeral from the Roman
Catholic church, on Friday, bore testi-
mony of the esteem in which she was
held and the sympathy felt for her be-
reaved husband.

AS far as this locality is concerned,
the present campaign now drawing to
a close has been a remarkably quiet
and unexciting one. While the Dem
ocrats are expecting heavy gains in the
county, the Republicans feel confident
OF more than holding their own. The
result of the new voting system will be
watched with interest by both parties.
