pien. Women ana Smell.

Two psychologists, Professors Nichols
and Brewne, have been making expert
ments to show the relative feebleness of
women's senses In respect 10 smell. They
took four odoriferous substances-essence
Of cloves, of garlic, lemon and prussic acid.
With these they filled series OF bottles up
to q single part in 1900, 900 OF water.
They then shrflled the bottles and called
in "A men and 33 women, all young and
healthy, who, guided by their sense of
smell, should arrange the bottles contain
ing each tiDcture by itself. The results
show, as the reporter testilies, that the
women were not in it..
The nose of no woman could trace lemon
beyond the l00, 900 dilution, while men
discovered It up 70 250, ,000 limit. Prussic
acid could not be detected beyond the
90, 900 mixture by women, while men
recognized it at the 100, 600 part mix
ture. There were two men, however,
with phenomenal noses, who identified
prussic acid up to the 100000 limit.
The names Of these two men have been
mercifully concealed. What woman who
values domestic peace would marry man
with such nose for odors? Fancy with
what beating heart she would listen for tho

Photography under water is now ar no

I'D. NJ LOWRY, our popular
r and successful district attor-

every person in Grant county, for the
gentleman was born and reared right
here in the capital city and is high in
the estimation of his fellow citizens
who are familiar with him and his
straightforward manner Of handling
matters Of law.
1t was generally conceded last fall
that the hardest man on the demo-
cratic ticket to down was Il. l.. Cleary,
Of Platteville. Mr. Cleary is not only
an eloquent public speaker but he is
right popular with all classes and en-
joyed the prestige of a very successful

fully looking over the field of able
lawyers in the republican ranks, the
county convention chose Mr.. Lowry
to make the contest After one of the
hottest political contests ever fought
in the county, in which both gentle
men thoroughly Stumped the district
and did themselves much credit, the
people chose Mr. Lowry TO protect
their rights IN the courts The first
quarter Of the year and the first term
of court have fully demonstrated that
Mr. Lowry believes public office to be
a public trust and that the Interests.
Of the people viii be as faithfully
guarded as ever before
The district attorney performs a
large amount of labor for an inSuli-
Client compensation. and the county
has been fortunate in securing COM
petent lot of attorneys for that import
ant office

Barber took a clerksmr in the law

the trade of a millwright. working
under master mechanic until he was
p, and after that following his trade
IN different parts of England until
1880 when he came TO Wisconsin. set
Ting at Mineral Point in Iowa county.
Remaining here for three wears he
went TO Illinois where he cast his first
ballot for John G. Fremont. the first
republican candidate for the presi-
dency, and his first ballot in the inter-
ests of the new party of progressive
ideas and broad humanity has been
zealously and consistently followed by
ballots east in the same interests ever
since. He moved to Grant county in
1857 and has been here ever since.
He has served creditably as Justice of
the peace three terms. has been town
supervisor and has held the Office of
town clerk for nine years in success
sion. In these various capacities he
has always been found true and thor
oughly competent He writes an un-
usually neat and plain hand and his

eeedingly neat in appearance and ac-
curate in statement. While the people
of this county have at all times elected

\ enumerating the several county
officials we come to one whose
4 name has been prominently be-
fore the county for a number of years.
A man whose superior knowledge,
keen sense Of justice, sterling moral
worth AMI genial disposition have led
him to many positions of Importance.
Perhaps no one Of our present officers
is better known throughout the coun-
ty and this portion of the state than
our able and efficient County Superin-
tendent of Schools, c. H. Nye, of
Platteville. Mr.. Nye entered upon
his duties with his usual energy and
zeal. and the manner in which the
work of this important office has been
conducted during the first quarter of
the year is certainly very encouraging
and shows conclusiyely that Mr.. Nye
means that success shall crown his
efforts.
G. H. Nye was born in Somerset CO.,
Maine, in the year 1886, and received
his early education at the Waterville
Classical Institute, Waterville, Maine
during the years 1S5354-55 He cast
his first vote for John G. Fremont in
1856 Came to Hazel Green, Wis. in
the fall of 1857 and taught school in
the country and graded schools of that
town until 1868. shortly afterward
he enlisted in Co. d. of the 43o Wis
Vol. and served as Qlartermaster Ser
geant. At the close of the war he came
To Platteyille and took charge of the
graded schools of that place and
served as principal for eight years. In
1873 he resigned that position to ac-
cept the principalship Of the Grammar
department in the First State Normal
school. He held thi. position until
Dec. 1892. wher he resigned 70 ac-
cept the office If County Supt

himself. He remained with said law
firm until he received the nomination
for Clerk of the Court in Sept. 1889
His nomination was one of the sur
prises so common in politics. He
never dreamed Of the honor, and on
convention day came to Lancaster on
business connected with a Platteville
estate. Upon being informed that he
was nominated he was greatly be-
wildered, but recovered promptly and
accepted in a neat speech This I'M
sought recognition would have
turned the head" of the average
young man, but here was an old head
on young shoulders, and he has carried
the houors of the office as calmly and
easily as the oldest veteran in public
life
We all remember the great demo-
cratic landslide of that year. Only
three republicans i'm Gra- county
were elected. and Mr.. Brennan was
one of them, receiving a plurality of
only 20 votes. As an endorsement Of
his two years work, last fall he was
renominated BY acclamation- a rising
vote Of every delegate in the convcn-
ton. At the election he received a
of rs votes, the state ticket
receiving only 5l6 This shows very
that his popularity goes
much beyond his party. and that the
people appreciate efficient service ana
conduct
