swindled by the action of Gov. Peck,
Attorney General O'Connor and their

compelled to rely merely upon impress

thereto by interested parties. The
whole matter, as Republican demon

failure. They will simply strengthen
the Democratic party's position in
Wisconsin.

OBITUARY.
JOHN cARMoDY.

John Carmody. eldest son of james
Carmody. died of Pneumonia at the
home of his sister. Mrs. S. w. Graham,
of ArborviIle, Nebraska. and was our
ried at Central City. beside his mother,
who died Janusry 25tb, 1882.
Mr.. Carmody was born at Cabot
vile, Mass, Oct End, 184s, and was Is
years, two months and 20 days old
when he died His death was sudden
for only nine days elapsed from the
first symptoms until the final summons
came. He leaves father, three broth
ers, and five sisters TO mourn his loss.
Mr.. Carmody came to Lancaster with
his parents in May, 1855, and toiled
with them until the spring of 1872,
when, with other young men of Lam
caster he went to seek his fortune in
the mines of Colorado and in 1888
settled on a good farm where he died.
Leaves have their time to fall.
And flowers to wither at the north winds
breath
And stars to set-but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o,
Death"
Using the language of Mr.. Carmody's
neighbor in Nebraska he says, "John
was admired far and wide and was very
popular. He was an upright. kind and
hospitable man, gifted with high in
tellect and an abundance of natural
Irish wit, which made him a splendid
conversahonalist aud companion. He
was well informed generally, more es :
pecially on ancient and modern history,
and could put many college graduate
to shame on geology.
But with all our knowledge and our skill.
We must abide by the Fathers will.

far distant, is so easy and so quick we
give you what the Wisconsin State
Board of Health has to say about Small
Pox:
Small Pox prevails to very unusual
and alarming extent in other states with
which Wisconsin is in intimate business
and friendly intercourse. 1t is there
fore liable to be brought to any COM
munity in Wisconsin at any time.
The fact that this state has been re-
markably exempt from Small Pox for a
number of years has led to a general
neglect of vaccination, and thus the
number of unprotected persons in al
most every community now bears
very large proportion to the entire
number. This is therefore a time of
special danger, and the State Board of
Health believes that we can only hope
to keep our state free from the costly
experience of other states with this
disease, by the exercise of unusual
vigilance.
LIST. By urging the vaccination of all
persons who do not show by a typical
scar the results of successful operation
performed within few years.
End. By securing the cooperation of
School Boards, and school teachers, in
urging vaccination as prerequisite to
admission 10 any public, private or
parochial school.
3rd. BY keeping special watch over
any case Of sickness appearing in the
person of any immigrant or traveller.
Small Pox is more liable to be brought
to you in this than any other way. and
in every case of sickness of doubtful
character appearing in such persons,
give the public the benefit of the doubt.
4th. Should Small Pox be brought
to you. secure immediate isolation of
the first case, and immediate vaccina-
ton of every person known to have
been exposed to the disease. Telegraph
the facts fully to the State Board of
Health, and keep careful watch over all
who have been exposed, until typical
results of vaccination have been secured
or until period of incubation (not less
than two weeks has passed.
9th. Spare no pains or expense with
first cases. 1t is infinitely cheaper aud
easier to do SO than TO suppress an
epidemic.
By order of the State Board of Health,
j T. REEVE. M. D.,
Secretary.

BLOOMINGTON LIQUOR CASES

The Bloomington Liquor Cases were
tried separately in Justice court here
last week, Judge BALDWIN presiding.
The first case called was the one in
which VIM. MulrooneY was defendant.
Messrs. j. Cleary and E. B. Goodsell
were his attorneys and they made a
hard fight. T. C. Richmond of Madi-
son, and Messrs. E. M. Lowry and R.
M. Watkins fought the case for the
state. The jurors in this case were
Henry Cooley, Geo. Hannum, John
Mcmahon, Thos. lockwood.
This case took nearly day in its
hearing but the jury brought in ver-
dict for the state after being out but
few minutes, and the defendant was
promptly fined $50 and all taxable
costs. The next case called was the
one in which Pitt Jacco, dealer in drugs
and groceries, was defendant. The
trial was conducted by the same at
torneys and before the same Justice,
but the defendant waived the right of
trial by jury. Though the testimony
IN this case differed somewhat from the
testimony in the first one, the defend
ant was adjudged gnilty, and fined $50
and all taxable costs by Judge Baldwin.
The last case called was the one in
which Geo. Hickok was defendant.
He was a partner with Jacco in the
drug and grocery business and he had
been tried on the same charge once
before and the jury failed to agree. A
Jury consisting of viii Mcmahon, Geo.
Baxter, 10. Kern, Thos. Mcdonald,
Geo. Mccarthy and Geo. E. Budd was
called. The attorneys fought this case
as hard as it was possible for them to
do. There were some different wit
nesses ia this case but the evidence
brought out was quite similar in its
general purport, to the evidence in the
other cases and the jury. after being
out short time brought in a verdict
fol state and as in the other cases,
Judge Baldwin promptly assessed
fine Of $50 and taxable costs. The last
trial makes four times these cases have
been called TO the attention of the
court, and the taxable costs in each
case amount to something ike one
hundred dollars. The defendants at
once filed appeal bonds to appear ii
the next term Of the circuit court and
if the cases are not settled the people
Of this county viii hear more Of them.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE SALOON.
ARTICLE SECOND.

The preceding article considered the
strength and the weakness of high Ii
cense and prohibition, and raised the
question whether anything could be
done to weaken the rum power in Wis
consin and hasten prohibition--the goal
of temperance effort. This article offers
suggestion in answer to that question.
In dealing with the saloon there are
two factors to be reckoned with-greed
and indulgence. If, by an algebraic
process or BY military strategem, one
of these factors can be eliminated. the
problem will be very much simpliied if
not half solved II my father were a
drunkard. and / could persuade him,
by half compulsory method, to get
his rum Of rae, | would feel that | bad

reformation. that | had at least gained
possession of all the outposts, and moth
ing remained now TO do bul to storm
the fort, to take his viii, and upon that
| would bring to bear the forces of love
and Of religious truth and of the fear
ful consequences of the sin of drunk
enness. This position of advantage it
is possible for the temperance forces of
Wisconsin to secure in great many
localities, they can eliminate the factor
of greed behind the bar from the prob
lem, they can cut of the saloon keeper
who is Ia the business for the money he
can get out of it, and have nothing to
contend with any longer but the rum
drinkers appetite, and when that is
overcome, prohibition is established on
permanent basis.
So much by way of apology and prep
aratioA. The main defense will follow
after. Now as to the scheme which can
be outlined in q brief space, Almost
every village or city, large or small, is
blessed with number of substantial
and reliable temperance men; they con.
stitute its strength because Of their in

wealth. Let them form themselves into

WIN. PRIOR
j. NJ. II.

William Prior died at his home in
Lancaster on Monday, January Sth.
1894 He was born at Romley Marsh
near Dover. England on the 14th day
of April, 1917, and was therefore at the
time of his death in his nth year. He
was q sailor on the ocean for a number
OF years when young man and visited
many parts of the world Becoming
tired of the sailors life he forsook the
ship ct an American harbor and started
inland. A brother salt made the
prediction that he would soon be back
on the ocean again. But MIR. Prior
was determined and he pushed on
farther and farther from the temptation
until he reached the mines of western
Wisconsin some fifty years ago. He
was married forty seven years ago and
his wife survives him. They both be-
came members of the Congregational
Church of Lancaster in 1879 and he
reaffirmed his faith in Jesus in his last
sickness. He earned his comfortable
home by industry and economy and
was always scrupulously honest
christianity honest-in all his business
transactions. He was especially anx-
ious to have every business matter
definitely and rightly settled before
his death that he might present as
clear record as possible on the other
side.
The funeral services were held at his
home on the morning of January 10th,
and the remains were borne 10 Patch
Grove cemetery for burial by the side
of other members of the family who
had preceded him. One son who is a
r. r. conductor, was with him during
the last days of his sickness and ac-
companied his remains to the grave.

OLOOAlNOlONs Jan. To- "a
A special meeting of the stock hold
ers OF the Blake's Prairie Agricultural
Society was held Saturday afternoon. to
take action upon the resignation Of the
officers who were elected at the regular
annual meeting. John Carey Jr. wss
reelected president and H q. Encke
treasurer. ID. T. Brown was elected
Secretary in place of f. L. Greer.
Enough money was raised to pay the
premiums in full that were awarded at
the last fair, and the Society will start
in the coming year on a solid financial
basis. Much credit is due the officers
and stock holders of the Society for the
generosity and public spirit in thus
keeping the Society alive, aud we hope
that every one will put his shoulder to
the wheel and make our next meeting
a success in every way.
Rev. Griffith of Lynxville preached
in the Congregational church last Sum-
day morning. He was accompanied by
his wife who was formerly Mis- Minnie
Green of Potosi, and who has msny
friends in this place. We hope they
will both come again.
John Chettinger, who has had the
position of butter maker in our cream
cry, has accepted a similar position in
the North Andover creamery We are
sorry to lose him as he is number one
butter maker.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Thompson of
Patch Grove spent Saturday with
friends in this village.
Merritt g, Strong. successful teacher
in the Beetown schools, attended the
Teachers meeting held here last Satur-
day.
Our town was nearly depopulated
last week, owing to the fact that so
many were in Lancaster attending the
trial of the Liquor cases. Some came
home smiling and some did not.
Cinderella Lodge, d. of Il. installed
their officers for the coming year last
Saturday and treated themselves to an
oyster supper. One brother of the
Subordinate Lodge wished so much to
come to the supper that he brought a
hand organ up to the door and seTenad-
ed the Rebekah's until in self defense
they lei him in and gave him his supper.
Poor fellow! he must have been very
hungry.
Prof. and Mrs. Pearson had very
pleasant card party Saturday night.
Their house has quite recovered from
the severe scorching it received some
time ago, and now looks as neat and
cosy as ever.
Mumps are quite prevalent in this
locality, and person is not quite in
the fashion, unless one or both sides of
his face is swelled. The school children
have had hard time of it this year,
with whooping cough, scarlet fever and
humps We hope nothing else will
make its appearance.
Rev. Jackman is at Wyalusing this
week, holding series of meetings.
The Teachers meeting held here last
Saturday was a very successful one,
and all felt benefited who attended.
The program as published in the papers
was carried out as far as possible
Among the excellent papers presented
were the following: by Prof. Pearson
on methods of History, Miss Nye on
Primary methods. Miss Russell on
Geography, Miss Eta Ladd on How to
cultivate a taste for Higher Literature.
The attendance was large and the
meeting was conducted by Co. Supt.
Nye who has the faculty of putting
enthusiasm into any meeting he pre-
sides over, MARY ANN,
