The Jefferson Banner speaks in

long in recognizing his services as
valuable railroad man and promoted
him to position at Fort Howard. And

Mrs. S. Eta Young, teacher of elo-

gave recital at the NJ. E. church last
Thursday evening to quite large audi

being rendered in truly artistic man
ner. Mrs. Young in light or humor-
Gus vein, we think, is at her best, and
her selections of that order never failed
to captivate her hearers The readings
were interspersed with several vocal
numbers by Mrs. Morris, of Waupun,
who on this occasion fully sustaine d
the excellent reputation she has ac-
CURED as singer Her effective rem
dering of Dear Heart" won for her an
enthusiastic encore. William Sproes-
ser accompanied the numbers in his
usual efficient manner.
The late elections had a bewilder-
ing effect upon Democratic editors and
for the time they lost their head, dis
regarding their mission to the public,
which was to print the news. One
prints the majority for Mckinley in
,, Ohio at 40 1000; another gives no figures
whatever of the Ohio election, but
plaintively says that the majority for
Mckinley is large enough to make him
the Republican candidate for the presi-
dency in 1896, while still another Demo
cratic journal, published November 10,
printed three days after the elections,
has not single line about the elections
in any part of the paper. Verify such
obliviousness is pitiable to behold, and
we hope our timid friends will recover
