VILLAGE ELECTION.

the issue made on high license.
The result as given below was not
what the friends of higher license
wished for, but they are not regretting
their having put the question to an is
sue, and are liable to "spit on their
hands and try again at subsequent
election. The law makes the question
of license or the maximum amount OF
license an open one, and it appears that
the recent election simply establishes
a precedent for submitting the matter
to popular vote at any election hereaf-
ter. Personally, the candidates on
both tickets were safe business men
and the result indicates that the vote
was not materially affected in any way
on +, rsonal grounds, though G. w.
George lost few votes on account of
his activity in enforcing the ordinance
in regard to stacking hay, and the fact
that O. w. Mcmillan was on both
tickets explains his diminished vote
for treasurer. Politically, all the can
didatcs on the high license ticket were
republicans, and on the successful
ticket two of the trustees
Bager and Schmahl -aTe orthodox
democrats. Politics, however, cut no
figure in the contest, and very proper
ly so. The ovcr-si Allowing issue was
whether the liquor-license fee should
be raised to $1,000 or not, and ma or
ity of about fiji voted in the mega
tive. Two hundred and eighty-six
votes were cast for president of the
council. The vote in detail is as fol-
lows:

GEORGE VIM
Last Wednesday night death ended
the sufferings Of George VIM, whose
attack of lockjaw was chronicled in
the Gazette printed the same evening.
The end came peacefully little while
after one Of the paroxysms peculiar to
the dread disease.
The funeral services on Friday af-
ternoon were generally attended by
the neighbors, and six or seven teams
from this village brought other SYM
pathizing friends, the deceased having
been a recent pupil of our high school,
as we'll as member of the Presbyter-
ian church and Sabbath school here.
DR.. Riheldaffer conducted the service,
and after citing the sorrowing family
and friends to the comforting lords
of holy writ, paid his brief tribute to
the good qualities shown in the char
acter and life OF the deceased. George
VIM had attained his majority only
few weeks before his death, and was
the fifth son of Mr. and Mrs. Vim,
out out family of ten, whom they
have been called upon to render back
to dust within comparatively recent
years. The sympathy of this commun-
ity, especially of all parents, is with
them in their sore affliction. Friday
evening Harry VIM accompanied the
body of his brother to Minneapolis,
where it has been laid to rest near
those of his brothers who have preced-
cd him. The fine tribute to Georges
character which here follows expresses
better than we are able to do those
traits which made him a favorite.
