John Wundt, who had for many
years attended to the winding of the
town clock, died at his home in the
Second ward last week Tuesday.
In a new advertisement this week
ID. & F. Kusel direct the attention OF
our readers to the virtues of aluminium
in cooking utensils. Be sure to read
it. They have an extensive line of
these goods suitable for holiday gifts.
The monthly stock fair yestesday
was marked by rather slim attend
ance, considering that it was the one
directly preceding the HOLIDAYS, when
a big trade is always looked for. The
extremely cold weather and the drifted
condition of many of the country roads
were probably the main drawbacks.
VIM. G.. Crawford, who will be re-
membered by old settlers as cutter in
Schwab's clothing store from 1858 to
1864 land before that time in the clothing
business for himself in the store now
occupied by J. G. Harrison, died at his
home at Fond du Lac yesterday. His
age was about IS years. He leaves a
wife and several children.

With the appointment of VIM. H.
ROhr as postmaster, which may now
be considered as certain to occur, van
ish what hopes the editor of The Ca
zette may have entertained Of an
office at the hands of the present ad-
ministration. Brother Moore has
found that parties are not less migrate
full than republics. In season and out
of season he has preached the gospel
of Democracy with as much ability,
earnestness, zeal and success as have
his contemporaries of The Journal and
The Weltbuerger, except that.his ''suc-
cess" falls behind theirs in the way of
rewards for his services. The Journal
picked a nice little plum when it's edi-
tor was made clerk of Congressman
Barwig's committee at Washington,
and the little Jack Horner of The
Weltbuerger, who sat in the corner and
pulled out of his pie ST, 200 clerkship
at Madison, and the collectorship of
internal revenue worth So 500 addi-
tional, had reason to rejoice that he
was in the swim politically. But The
Gazette is left out in the cold while
the other two Democratic papers are
we'll provided for. There must be some
thing "rotten in Denmark" with the
party managers to be so oblivious to
the just claims of Brother Moore, and
to the bad policy Of Tire ing such fine
sops to the other papers and leaving
him to lick the platter. 1t will be
noted, also, that all the appointments
which have been placed here have
fallen into the hands of Germans,
which, as stroke of wisdom, does not
take very high rank; but this little
matter is one belonging to the Demo
Gratis to settle among themselves, as
they probably will Kilkenny cat
fashion, so let us not interfere.
