Geo, Seherer in Politics,

As has been stated previously, Geo. w.
scherer is q candidate for nomination as
county superintendent Of schools at the
hands of the Republican county conven-
ton. He is graduate of the Normal
school and has taught successfully and
is in every way qualified to discharge the
duties of the position. He has never
held an Office, but as editor Of the Post
for many years he did good service for
the Republican party, and is deserving
of reward at its hands. Mr.. scherer is
an active, energetic young man, and
would undoubtedly render valuable SER
vice to the schools of the county. He is
the only Republican whose name we have
heard mentioned in connection with the
nomination and he will undoubtedly re-
ceive it unanimously, in which case he
will certainly be elected. Mankato Free

DEATH OF NIB. sTEINHAUsER:
The Late Editor ofthe Fortschntt Passes
Away After Brief Illness.

| Sunday morning The announcement
| was made that Editor Armin Steinhauser
had died at three o'clock. Grief fol-
lowed the telling Of the news and in
quick succession came feeling sympathy
for the bereaved.
Mr.. Steinhausers sickness was Of short
duration. A few days ago he was in APP
parently the best Of health, and at his
office he could be seen attending to his
duties with customary diligence. Sud
denly an attack ,of inflammation Of the
bowels siezed him and after a week Of
suffering, attended 10y q constant weak
ening OF his physical powers, he gave
quietly away to that dread summons,
which marks at last the end of each and
all. ..ssl
To us his death has a peculiarly sol
elnn meaning. Brought together by dQ-
ties in which there was much in common
we learned to know him as lie really was
and found him to be a quiet and unol-
trusive individual with q most kindly
nature that lead him to aid u friend
whenever he could do SO without violat-
ing his sense Of right. His opinion once
formed, he was tenacious Of it; not lack
ing however in that element Of convic-
ton that must lie at the base Of intelli-
gent and conscientious action. He had
all of an honest mans hatred Of shanls
and about the only evidence of irritation
exhibited by him was when some
proof of insincerity was apparent.
In the domestic circle as we'll as in pro-
fessioaal life those who knew him best
speak of many evidences showing him to
be truly good. We can speak of him,
only as we knew him from being thrown
closely together and our only desire to
comment at all comes from high re
spect for the qualities that he possessed.
Within him was integrity of mind and
heart, and his family and his neighbors
were better for his having lived. What
more is needed to make of life an entire
success2 =.
The deceased was q comparatively
young man. He was born on the ir
1868, and spent his earliest days
in New Uln with his parents. Nine
years ago he removed to St. Paul and
worked steadily in the Office Of the St
Paul Volkszc;tung. While there he was
married TO Miss Emma Nix and theil
union has been q most loving and happy
one, resulting in thesbirth Of one child
"a daughter at present. hardly g year Old
Two years ago he returned to New Uln
and assumed management Of the Fort
schritt, d position which lie retained IN
tanned until two weeks ago when he re-
signed to accept a similar one. on the
Post. To his wife the grief that comes
with his unrimely death is almost I'M
bearabte and to his other relatives the
load Of sorrow is naturally weighty one

noon at two o'clock from Turner Hall
