RING CONVENTION.
LARGE ATTENDANCE OF THE So
CALLED LEADERS,
The Matter is Merely a Cut and
Dried Affair, for the Continu-
ance of Present Incum-
bents.

The so-calIed Citizens County
convention, which was called some
time ago to meet today at COnven'
tion hall, to express the will Of the
Democratic voters of BeXar county
and select list of candidates for
county offices at the approaching
election, convened on time this
morning.
The hall was crowded with SUI
fragans and it could clearly be seen
by looking over the hall from the
speakers platform, that the ardent
supporters of the "ring" were there
in force.
Some Of the delegates even dis
regarded politics and from the
Republican and Populist ranks the
crowd is swelled.
Mr.. J. r. Hooper called the
meeting to order and Thomas +.
Shields nominated A. /. Lockwood
for temporary chairman. He was
elected unanimously, and Isidore
Straus was made secretary.
A committee Of ten was ap-
pointed on order of business, basis
of representation and organization
and then a recess of fifteen min
utes was taken.
The committee reported making
the temporary organization per-
manent. The report was adopted.
1t was then moved and carried
that the chair appoint commit
tee composed Of the chairmen of
each OF the 80 county precincts
represented, for the purpose Of for
mulating a ticket or list of candi-
dates for the various county offices
at the next election. The COM
mittee was appointed and the
meeting then adjourned until }
o'clock this afternoon to allow the
committee Of fifty to report.
NOTES.
The doorkeeper on this occasion
was big Turk, who, seated at the
entrace door, smoked his narghileh
and observed the crowd of curious
Democrats with apparent interest.
Henry Umscheid was one of the
onlOokerS. His convention will be
held at Mission garden tonight.
The entire list of county officials
were present today.
The crowds had dull time of it
at this cut and dried affair this
morning but look for livelier times
at the Mission garden meeting to-
night.
The ticket which the committee
Of fifty will formulate will nOt be
much different from the list recent
ly published in the LIGHT.

| Inc great mass OF our people
are intelligent, earnest and patri-
| otto, while local combinations are
forming to boost candidates for
county offices,-th9 people are
alert and determined to express
their will at the balIo5 box.
Ugly rumOrs, pregnant with cor
ruption, are floating about, it only
needs that these rumors be con-
firmed to rouse the sleeping lion of
public opinion.
The intelligent voter, the tax.
payer, the real citizen, native born
or naturalized, must be wide
awake, because we have fallen on
evil times, when through the use
Of money, and the lavish promises
for the future, the very manhood
of suffrage is being stripped to the
skin.
Every household, every head of
a family, must rally to, the stan
dard of honesty, and hurl from
place the manipulations OF public
offices.
A great national crisis is upon
us,-the cause rises above the per-
sonal politics that rules today in
out midst-the people will not toll
crate any manipulation that has
for its object the election OF local
officials to sever them from their
purpose to elect Judge Noonan.
Let every good citizen register
in order that he may be armed
with the weapon that decides the
battle. Our registration list will be
loaded down with hundreds of
of voters who are ignoranta and ire
sponsible, who will fall an easy and
willing prey to the manipulation
of local politicians.
The power Of the people, armed
with the ballot, is omnipotent, and
defeat is only possible when cir
cumvented by fraud and deception.
Arm yourselves with your registra-
ton certificate so that you can take
your place in the ranks on election
day to do battle for the best inter-
ests Of your country, and if neces-
sorry, trample under foot all oppo-
sitiOn, no matter from what quar-
ter it may come.
We have 5000 voters in this city.
OF these at least 5000 are for Judge
Noonan,-but every man Of them
register, and be prepared to vote.

COUNTY OFFICERS.
Ilown and County News.

Editor Meyer of the Boscobel Inter
prise called on the HERALD last Satur-
day.
Mrs. Elizabeth Barber, spent a few
days in town this week with Mrs. Burr,
and is making preparations at the old
home, for q summer visit with her
many friends here.
Manley Dean, of Ellenhoro, one of
the Oldest and most widely known citi
zens of the county died at the home of
his niece IN Crawford County on the Sth
of March. He was there on visit
when he was suddenly called from
time to eternity. The remains were
brought to Mr.. Deans home at Ellen
boro last Saturday and the funeral took
place at Wing.
Mrs. John Taylor, wife of our Mar
shall, died suddenly at her home Tues
day noon, March 18th. 1894. Her be-
reaved husband and children have the
heartfelt sympathy of all The funeral
will be held under the direction of the
Woman's Relief Corps at the family
home at 10 O'Clock Thursday, and the
interment will take place at Boice
Greek Cemetery. Rev. H d. Smith viii
preach the funeral sermon at The
house.
On Sunday morning about six o clock
the home of John Westing, a mile
northeast of town, was destroyed by
fire. Mr., Nesting made the fire in the
kitchen and went out to the barns to do
the morning work there. and his wife
did not discover any trouble, till Mr..
Wrestling saw the flames bursting
through the roof. The fire was so much
under way that they could only save
very small part of their furniture or
clothing.
Every child should be successfully
vaccinated once and the State Board of
Health says that every child must be
vaccinated. No teacher can excuse any
pupil from being Vaccinated Local
health boards may arrange for the way
in which the compulsion is carried out
but can not excuse any one from the
law. If it is good law it should be
carried out Ii it is bad law, it should
be carried out; for then it would be soon
repealed and removed from the stat
utes. Statistics show that during the
epidemic of Small Pox in England in
1881, there were 4,478 deaths per mil
lion inhabitants, 50 vaccinated 10 1880
unyaceinsted, or in the proportion of
44to1. This if standing alone would
seem to point to the efficacy of yaecina-
tion but it does not stand alone. You
can safely say that where the operations
are done by skilled physicians no dam
ger arises from vaccination. There is
danger of Small Pox even in our COM
munity here and any neglect on the
part of our people to ward off its dire
results can 10. be excused.

Circuit Court Doings.

In the case of the State VS.. Holzer,
tried last week. the jury brought in a
verdict of acquittal after being out but a
short time.
In the case of the State VS.. Leslie
Webb. a verdict of guilty was rendered.
In the case of the State VS.. nine
young men for unlawful assembly, the
Jury brought in a verdict of acquittal.
The Holzer case was tried once be-
fore but the jury disagreed; The case
of unlawful assembly referred to a part Y
of young men who some years ago as
sembled to charivari a couple that had
just been married, and we believe has
also been tried before, The Judge will

Last week we mentioned the fact that
Mrs. Mile Humphrey received the
sum of $4,000 insurance, due her be-
cause of the death of her husband, who
was member of the Lancaster Lodge
of Modern Woodman. Sylvan Camp No.
IS. There is clause in the constitu-
ton of the Modern Woodmen which
does not consider as lawful benefciaries
those who under certain circumstances
come to death by their own hands.
This clause was the cause of the delay
in paying over the insurance to Mrs.
humphrey on the presentation OF her
claim. After further investigation and
consideration Of the matter however,
Attorney Heydecker who is one of the
Board of Directors. at WsukegaD. H..
presented the matter to the Board and
the claim was allowed and ordered paid.
We are glad that such action was taken
by the Board and believe that the
clause in the constitution Of the order,
referring to suicide will hereafter be
considered yoid Mr.. Humphrey was
also member OF the Ancient Order of
Woodman in this city and the insurance
in this order, $1,000. was paid over
some time ago
