A GOOD MAN GONE.

The Death OF One OF the Solid Citi-
gems OF Our County.
John Tracy is dead. A noble soul,
u generous man, 4 good citizen, has
been mustered in on the other shore.
The very sorrowful news that John
Tracey had died on Tuesday morning
surrounded by his wife and family,
reached here about noon. Knots OF
men gathered and discussed the news.
1t seemed hardly possible that the
great, big, stalwart John Tracy could
be no more. He was taken i'll just a
week ago with I'm attack Of appendix
itis-a disease affecting the blind in
testine. During the illness Of the
deceased he suffered the most excru-
ciating pains. On Sunday Drs. Null
cahey OF this city, Mcmahon OF Can
ton and Jepson Of Sioux City held a
consultation with regard to perform
ing an operation for the relief OF the
patient. After carefully canvassing
the matter, 1t was deemed advisable
not to;subject the patient to II surgi-
cal operation. Monday night DR..
Knott OF Sioux City called and ex-
amined Mr.. Tracey. He, also, held out
nj hope for his recovery.
The deceased was born in Ireland
and came to Union county with his
father many years ago. He was AZ
years of age and leaves behind Il large
family. He held a life insurance
policy in the New York Life for 81, 600
and had property variously estimated
to be worth from 1906 to $50,
The funeral takes place from Jeffer-
son Catholic church at 1915 this morn

The nominations are strong ones.
The verdict Of many "pops" is that

Every township had a full represent

There were several former indie

II. H. Libby, one Of our honored and
M ,st respected citizens, represented
Big Sioux.
The convention was the most har-
monious and satisfactory ever held in
the county.
G. H. Williams Of Alcester seemed
to understand parliamentary tactics
thoroughly.
John Finnie had a great many
friends in the convention and per

One delegate was heard to state that
up his way his populist neighbors had
become tired Of calamity bowling and
that they were going to vote the re.
publican ticket this fall.
Old Jingle Brains was heard to re.
mark, upon seeing the various dele.
gates: "They have all got a ring
around their neck" 1t is a dead sure
thing they haven't got Il ring in theil
nose.
"Why does not Knapp answer your
question, Mr.. COURIER, about his
charge making Mr.. Ringsrud out a de.
faulter? He is very quiet. He will
never answer it," were the remarks
Of Il delegate. Come, "Jingy," come
now; answer. What have you to say
with regard to the experts report on
Mr.. Ringsrud?
r. p. Lillibridge was adelegate from
Sioux Valley. He is a son Of Walter
Lillibridge and it was the first politi.
cal convention he had ever attended
as a delegate. He seemed at home
and was successful in seeing his own
choice for the Legislature win with
ease-Mr. A. W. johnson. Mr.. Lilli-
bridge is only 90 years OF age and ii
is no exaggeration to say that he has
a promising future.

has made many speeches throughout
the county. He has Il hobby, as all
populists have, more or less. That
hobby was the "crime OF 1885," which
consisted of his being disbarred as a
lawyer in Deadwood by Judge Thomas,

invariably cried, "has had my case be-

In reviewing the $ Judge Kellam
OF the supreme court states that under
section AT, of the compiled laws, the
right OF appeal expires ut the end Of

ant, Mr.. Houghton, had no standing
in court for that reason. Mr.. Hough-
ton claimed that he mailed a notice of
appeal on the 14th day Of May, 1891,
at Omaha, to the opposing attorneys
and to the clerk OF courts, but all file
afidavits that none were received.
The opposing attorneys were G. G..

The convention was composed Of
