a Sad De

death bearing more than the usual
degree of sadness and regret was that
of Dora, wife of Frederick Gamm, who
departed this life at the family home,
600 Clyman street, Monday morning,
April 23, at o'clock, after an illness
of less than a weeks duration The
immediate cause of death was an acute
attack OF peritonitis, the peculiarity Of
which baff1ed the efforts of the best
medical skill. 1t is indeed a sad cir
cumstance, as in this case, when the
strange visitation of death-cOming
alike to all-enters happy home and
takes hence the young and loving wife
and mother of but a few brief years,
leaving to the tender care of grieved
husband two small children, one a
mere infant only week old.
Mrs. Gamm was born in La Crosse
county, September 5, 1867, and was
therefore not yet 27 years of age. She
was married to Mr.. Gamm in May,
1892, and although her residence among
us was of short duration, she had gained
a large circle Of firm friends, who are
sincerely grieved at her most untimely
death, and who unite in comforting
the afflicted husband with their warm
est sympathies.
The remains were taken yesterday
on the midday train to the former
home of the deceased at La Crosse,
where the funeral is held to-day.

The Lieutenant-Governorship.


AS the time is fast approaching when
the Republican State convention will
select candidates for the various Offices
on the state ticket, The REPUBLICAN
desires to call the attention of the Re-
publicans of Wisconsin to the name of
a gentleman who will bring to the dis
charge of the duties Of lieutenant-gov-
ernor, not only legislative, but a long
and successful business career, which
admirably qualify him for the position.
This Is year when there should be no
mistakes made. The Republican party
has the advantage by large majority,
and with the right kind of men to go
before the electors of Wisconsin there
will not be the least possibility of dan
ger. The Hon. Jesse Stone, of this city,
possesses all the qualities necessary to
make popular and competent presid-
ing officer of the senate He is we'll
and most favorably known throughout
the entire state, and will bring to the
ticket an element of strength the party
would do we'll to take advantage of.
He has been a member of the state
central committee since 1888, and has
devoted his time unselfshly to the per-
petuation of prin ci pies W which time has
proven to be for the best interests of
all our people. THE REPUBLICAN most
cordially endorses Mr.. Stone, and
pledges that next November will see
the largest Republican vote ever cast
in Jefferson cOuDtv

Again the death angel has beckoned
and another brave soul has swept out
with that solemn escort through the
dark valley and over the cold river to
the infinite beyond, whose peace, and

Frances Aurelia Clapp was born No
vember IA, 1853, at Juneau, Wis.
For four years since her marriage
with Beverly T. Gilmore she has lived
among us and in that comparatively
short time has endeared herself to an
ever widening circle of flowing friends.
In church work her strong personality
was tower of practical strength and
her colleagues in literary work mourn
one of their brightest lights as we'll as
dear friend. In public charity her
presence was always felt and many a
humble home will miss her care. She
has been for some time a director of
the Children's home.
She leaves besides her two baby
boys, daughter of another marriage,
Miss Maud McCaul.
For the past three weeks since the
birth of her son she had been in deli
cate health, but was mending rapidly,
and on Sunday seemed in better health
and spirits than for some days. She
felt so we'll and strong that she sat up
IN bed and wrote letter that after
noon; after it was finished che turned
to her pillow and in a few moments,
with scarcely sign of the approaching
change, the spirit took it's fight. Or
ganlc heart trouble was the direct
cause of death. The sympathy of all
goes out to the bereaved husband and
the motherless children. -AppZet0,1

Serious Accident on the Sewer.

The first accident on the sewer con-
struction attended with serious results
happened Saturday during the noon
hour. The sewer trench on upper
Main street, in front of Union School
No. 1, is in a direct line with the gas
main, which it is necessary to remove
IN order to lay the sewer tiles. The
work of removing the main was being
done at this point by two of the Gas
company's workmen, John Robinson,
Jr., of this city, and Denny Sullivan,
of Hurley, and they had just entered
the trench and been engaged a few
moments with their labor when pile
of loose dirt lying on one side of the
trench became disturbed and fell, car
rying with it a portion of the wall of the
trench. Robinson, who was in stOop-
ing position, received the full weight
of the dirt on his back and was entire
ly buried under ground, while Sullivan
was only partially covered to his waist.
The men were eXtricated as soon as
possible, but Robinson being com
pletely covered for several minutes
had a narrow escape from suf-
location. AS it was, he sustained
some very painful and serious injuries
to his back, and the lower portion of
his body, from the abdomen down, was
completely paralyzed. Drs. Whyte
and Moulding were summoned and at
tended him. They state that one of
the spinal processes of the lower
dOrsal vertebrae is broken, but have
cord is injured or not. Under the
rcumstances John is doing as we'll as
could be reasonably expected, and his
friends about town, who are legion,
hope to see him recover in due time
from his injuries and be around again,
His escape from almost instant death
was something wonderful and was due
without doubt to the prompt work of
extrication by his fellow workmen.
The injuries to Sullivan were COM
paratively slight. He was bruised on
his hip and leg, but sustained nothing
which will seriously disable him. The
circumstances of the case mark him as
unfortunate, as Saturday was his first
day here, and be had been at work for
the Gas company only few minutes
when the accident happened, having
worked during the morning for the
sewer contractors.
Many comments have been made as
to where the blame attaches for the ac-
cident, and of course this is a matter
with many different opinions. It is
said that the jar produced to the earth
by striking the gas pipes with heavy
hammers is what caused the cave-in
Some think the accident might have
been averted had the trench been
properly curbed and braced with
planking, and we understand that it
was intended to have taken this pre-
caution, but there was a delay IN the
arrival of the material. We notice
that since the accident this protection
has been secured, which reminds US
shat the old saw of "locking the barn
door after the horse had been stolen"
might be applied in this case

ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES,
Beacon Lights TO Guide Mariners Coeva
With the Earliest Commerce.

Beacon Lights TO Guide Mariners Coevai
With the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon lights TO guide the wave
tossed mariner to safe harbor mus.
have been almost coeval with the earli-
est commerce. There is positive record
that lighthouses We're built in ancient
times, though few evidences now re-
main to us from old writers or in crum-
bled ruins. This is not strange, for light
towers, never the most stable architec-
tural form, We're exposed to the storms
Of sea and war
The Greeks attributed the first light
houses to Hercules, and he was consid-
cred the protector of voyagers. 1t ia
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses in tie nineteenth book Of
the Had
Virgil mentions light on a temple
to Apollo which, visible far out at sea,
warned and guided mariners. The Co
lossus at Rhodes, erected about 800 g.
c., Is said to have shown a signal light
from its uplifted hard.
The oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans in lower Egypt They
We're temples also, and the lightl1eeper
priests taught pilotage, photography
and navigation. The famous tower on
the Isle Of Pharos, at Alexandria, built
about 2S5 8. c., is the first lighthouse
of undoubted record. This tower, con-
structed by Sostratus, the architect. was
square ill plan, of great height and built
i'll offsets. An open brazier at the top
of the tower contained the fuel for the
light. AT Dover and Boulogne, on Ell
Their SIDE Of the English channel, were
ancient lighthouses built by the Romans.
But the lighthouse at Corunna, Spain.
built i'll the reign of Traian ana recon-
structed in 1854, is believed to be the
oldest existing lighthouse.-E. z.
