Convention Notes.

We here in Watertown were much
disappointed over the failure of Hon.
Jesse Stone to be named as the candi-
date for lieutenant-governor on the
ticket. After 1t had been supposed all
along that he was in the lead in the
race, which in fact was the case up to
the adjournment Wednesday night,
his defeat occasioned no little surprise.
But at this point the situation seemed
to turn against him and feeling for a
German American for the place be-
came SO great that we think it had
much to do with the result. Another
thing which weakened Mr.. Stone was
the bringing forward of Mr.. Treat at
the last moment as candidate from
the First district. This took away
much Of the formers strength in that
section, upon which he had been count
ing. Mr.. Stone thinks that had the
convention not adjourned Wednesday
evening, but had proceeded with bust
ness, be would have been nominated
THE REPUBLICAN has been for Our
home candidate at all times. but we
chee1fully submit to the inevitable and
think Mr.. Stone has really nothing to
regret over his defeat. He has made

"Boss" Jones Convention,

The manner in which the Barwie
crowd ran the Columbia county con-
vention last week Tuesday is thus
shown up by Editor G. G. Eaton in The
Columbus Democrat, who evidently did
not relish the Tammany Hall methods
pursued by ''Boss" Jones:
We are aware that the caption "Boss
Jones convention" is not at all eu-
phonlous, and yet we could not select
term to apply to the alleged Demo
cratic gathering that was held at Por-
tage last Tuesday, that would be more
appropriate or in closer keeping with
the facts.
1t was not Democratic convention
tor several reasons. First, because
there was only a sprinkling of repre-
sentative Democrats of the county pre-
sent; second, because certain delega-
tlons were lrregularly chosen and q
number were headed or in charge of
postmasters actively engaged in fur
thering Mr.. Barwig's interests; third
because the gathering was run exclu-
sively by "Boss" Jones, whose code of
parliamentary tactics were SO UNIQUE
and their promulgation so irregular
that even disinterested ones spoke of
the proceedings as being "rotten." >"
"rascally," Infamous" etc.

to order as soon as enough of his chosen
ones were IN the room to elect his man
Friday, Mayor Stroud, chairman. x
A motion was made by Mr.. Hasey,
of the Columbus delegation, that a

al convention. This was carried, and

FIRE AT THE NORTHWESTERN
The Main Building of the University
Group Struck by Lightning.

The Main Building of the University
Group Struck by Lightning.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock Monday
night, during the storm which had set
in just previously, the terrific electric
bolt which was so generally noticed for
it's severity struck the flag staff on
the belfry of the main building of
the Northwestern university, and in
hardly less time than it takes to tell it
the belfrY and the entire roof were
completely enveloped in a sheet of
flames. The fire department hustled
to the scene of action as soon as posi-
BILE, but was unable to render effective
assistance in subduing the flames until
an hour later, owing to the distance of
the steamers from the burning build
ing, which was fully a half mile,
at the cistern on the corner of
Main street and College avenue.
This made it difficult for the en-
gines to force water through the hose
with sufficient strength to be of any
aid. Finally good stream was secured
by placing one of the steamers half
way between the cistern and the build
ing and forcing the water from that
point when it was received from the
other engine. The fremen worked all
night and until noon yesterday over
the ruins.
After the fire had gained a good foot
hold on the roof it spread rapidly to
the inside of the building and com
pletely Quilted it. Nothing but the
massive brick walls are left, and these
may possibly have to be torn down for
safety. The rainfall in progress at the
time no doubt prevented the fire from
touching the adjoining buildings and
making it even more destructive than
it was.
Some good work was done in saving
the contents of the building. A por-
ton of the furniture and considerable
part of the valuable library were re-
moved by willing hands. The library
numbered some 5000 volumes, valued
at from S., 900 to $4,000.
The building, which was the Oldest
of the group owned by the university,
was used as laboratory in the base
ment, for study and recitation rooms
on the first floor, and for dormitories
on the second and third floors. Itwas
erected III 1864, and was a very sub
stantial structure, with solid brick
walls.
The loss sustained to the university
is serious one and will be sorely felt.
Only recently expensive improvements
In the building had been made, includ-
ing hot water heating system costing
81 900. Some insurance was carried
but how much cannot be exactly ascer-
tanned as yet. The board of trustees
had charge of this and it was carried
in Milwaukee agencies. 1t is thought
1t does not amount to over So 900 or
$S 200, which is very small in compari-
son to the whole loss. This is con-
servatively estimated to be at least
$50, 900 above the insurance. Nothing
can be said at this writing of the plans
Of the board of trustees, of which Rev.
Mr.. Bading, of Milwaukee, is presi-
dent, as to replacing the building.

fail in great city Is like being wrecked
at sea. In the country man has
friends. He can get little credit, a
little help. but in the city it is different
The man Is lost in the multitude. In
the roar OF the streets his cry is not
heard. Death becomes his only friend.
Death promises release from want,
from munger and pain. and so the poor
wretch lays down his burden, dashes it
from his shoulders and falls asleep.
To mo all this seems very natural.
The wonder is that so many endure and
sufTer to the natural end, that so many
nurse the spark of life in huts and pris-
ons, keep it and guard it through years
of misery and want; support it by beg
gary, by eating the crust found In the
gutter, and to whom it only gives days
of WEAKNESS and nights OF fear and
dread. Why should the man sitting
amid the wreck Of all he had, the loved
ones dead, friends lost, seek to lengthen,
to preserve his life? What can the
future have for him?
Under many circumstances man has
the right to kill himself. When life is
OF no value to him. when he can be of
no real assistance to others, why should
a man continue? When he is of no
benefit, when he is burden to those he
loyes, why should he remain? The old
Idea was that "God" made us and
placed US here for a purpose, and that
it was our duty to remain until he
called US. The world is outgrowlng
this absurdlty. Whet pleasure can it
give God" to see man devoured by
cancer? To see the quivering flesh
slowly eaten? To see the nerves throb-
bling with pain? Is this a festival for
God" Why should the poor wretch
stay and suffer? A little morphine
would give him sleep-the agony would
be forgotten, and he would pass uncon-
sciously from happy dreams to painless
death.

Life is not the same to all to some

keenest joy and some with indifference.
Religion, or the decadence of re-
ligion, has bearing upon the number
of suicides. The Fear of God" Of
Judgment, of eternal pain, will stay
