Obituary.

Died-In Chicago, Ills. Nov. 9Th,
1896, Henry Christman, aged 40 years
and months, of lOckjaw.
Comrade Christman was member

Iron Brigade, enlisting in the Co. when
but little over Is years of age, and
serving with it until the regiment was
mustered out July 18th, 1865.
He was charter member of Fred
S. Lowell Post No. 220 Dept. of Wis.
G.. A. R. of Kenosha, Wis. by whom
he was buried on Nov. 7th according
to his request.
He was a good citizen and soldier, a
true G.. A. R. man, practicing in his
daily life the fraternity, charity and
loyalty of the order of which he was a
member. He leaves a wife and five
children, four sons and daughter.

THE BLOW OUT IN SALEM.
Things Went Of There With Biff, Bang,
Saturday Night.

During the campaign just passed
when a man of prominence announced
his intention of supporting the repub-
Gcan candidates, it was asserted that
he only added another to an army OF
generals, that the privates we're all on
the other side. After a glance at the
returns we feel warranted in saying
that in Salem township at least there
we're a few "privates" on the right
side. We were expecting that all OF
the men who we're sauntering around
wearing Mckinley buttons did so under
compulsion and that at the first oppOr-
tunity they would exercise their glorl-
Gus prerogative under the Australian
ballot system to administer a pair OF
disfgured optics to their naughty OPP
nressors. But somehow or other they
pulled the trigger with the gun in the
same position as il was the day before.
And they had u little powder left over,
so Saturday evening they poured it all
in heap, carefully laid the popocratic
corpse on top of it and blew it sky high.
It was a cold night and a big fire was
necessary to thaw out the enthusiasm,
but it is far more comfortable on top OF
the snow banks than it is under them.
An enormous log fire was built in the
middle of the road on the southern end
of Main street. A crowd of yelling en-
thusiasts danced around it. When the
report of the anYils was loud they would
shout. and when instead OF a report a
puff of smoke resulted there was al
ways some one near at hand to suggest
that that one was intended for
Brine" A small evergreen tree was
fitted out with paper sacks dubbed
Altgeld and placed upright in the CEN
ter of the blaze The juvenile torch
brigade were all on hand big as life.
Several patriotic women had prepared
a supper of sandwiches, coffee, dough-
nuts and baked apples to keep up the
spirits of the celebrators. 1t had been
intended to have oysters, but at the
last moment they were unobtainable.
Among the crowd were quite a few who
celebrated four years ago.

Ratification at Bristol.

Bristol celebrated the great republi-
can victory on Wednesday evening in a
way long to be remembered.
Mr.. Nixon rendered the rink and the
Republican club, assisted by the ladies,
prettily decorated it with flags, pictures
of Mckinley and chrysanthemums.
Here a large number of republicans
and sound money democrats were de-
lightfully entertained. An impromptu
program, consisting of vocal music,
readings and speeches, was rendered.
The banner speech, And the streets
of Heaven will be paved with gold and
there will be no popocrats there, was
made by John Lacey.
Coffee and doughnuts were served
and grand march led by the drum
corps was participated in by all, while
nearly every voice swelled the refrain,
/" Well hang Billy Bryan to a sour
apple tree" A few turns in the rink
and the younger ones, headed by the
drum corps, paraded the streets, blow
ing horns, beating tin pans, and shout
ing for Mckinley.
During the entire evening the boys
were firing a cannon for each electoral
vote, and not until 2 o'clock did the
crowd disband, still cheering for Nc
Kinley and Hobart, sound money, pro-
lection and prosperity.

Little Damage Done.
A gas stove at Mrs. F. j. Tuttle's
exploded Sunday evening and succeed
ed in doing quite little damage to
things in its immediate vicinity. 1t had
been left alone for time when sud-
denly the family in another part of the
house were startled by loud explosion
followed by the crash of broken glass
and iron. The stove itself was pretty
we'll dilapidated by the accident and
the glass in the surrounding windows
was blown into fragments.
The cause of the accident cannot be
ascertained,' although it appears
that it was not due to any care
iessness on the part Of those
having the thing in charge. For
tunately 40 one was near enough To
the stove when the explosion occurred
to suffer from it. The maid, who had
been tending it, had been called away
for moment, and thus escaped any
thing more serious than bad scare.
The only damage done Was that to the
windows ard to the stove itself.

One Man in Town Bet on Bryan for Bad

1t is reported about the city on what
appears to be pretty good authority,
that a certain gentleman bet before the
election with his wife. By the terms of
the bet if Mckinley was elected he was
to do the family washings for year.
If Bryan was elected the wife was to
chop all the wood for year. McKin.
lev won, and the man took his medicine
like hero, and scrubbed away at the
washing today like Trojan. That is
a case of rubbing it in, so to speak.
The wife thinks she is going to have a
hard time keeping " the old man" at it
for the rest of the ffty-one times.
