COLES COUNTY CONVENTION.

The reporter for this paper attended
the so-called republican convention
held at Marshtield on the 10Th inst.
There were just thirty-twO live per-
sons, all told, present in the room at
the city hall during the session of the
convention. Eleven of these were
known to the writer as not being dele
gates. Many of the remaining twenty
one we did no know; but at the most
there could not have been delegates
from more than four or five towns, if
that many. as under the call the city
and town of MarShtield were entitled
to eleven votes, and they had their
full number of delegates in attend
ance. 1t was a most remarkable con-
ventiOn. The committee on creden-
tialS did not report the name of a sim
gle delegate from any place as entitled
to a seat. They simply reported that
the several cities, towns and villages,
naming them respectively, were each
entitled to a specific number of votes.
They named no delegate as being
present.
The proceedings of the convention
were very brief. After the adjourn
ment the writer went to the Secretary
j. c. Davis, Esq, and asked for list
of the delegates from the several
towns, cities and villages, of which
the convention was composed. He
referred us to the chairman of the
convention, Chairman Cole. We APP
piled to him and he referred us to the
secretary and he to Chas. A. Coon,
chairman of the committee on
credentials. He referred us again to
Chairman Cole or the secretary. In
short, no one connected with the con-
VentiOn had a list of the delegates:
and as matter of fact there were no
delegates from any section of the
county, outside of the city and town
of MarShtield, and at most three or
four other towns in that immediate
vicinity. This is the way the Re-
publicans Of Wood county have
responded to Mr.. Coles high handed
attempt to declare himself greater in
authority than all other members of
the Central Committee. and to run
the Republican Party of Wood county
in the sole interest of small cabel
of little politicians in and around
MarShtield. 1t was a shady conyen-
ton and we could not possibly obtain
from its officers or prominent dele
gates an authentic list of those
seated. 1t looks as if they were
ashamed to present to the press and
the public the actual representation
in their one man meeting.
Following are the delegates elected
to the state convention:
John Rausch, of Rock; w. C.
Witter, of Lincoln; VIM. News,
Auburndale town; Chas. Blodgett,
r. L. kraus, W. d. Common, F. A.
Cady, City of Marshteld. To the
congressional convention: JOS B.
Kupsch, of MilladOre; VIM. Bartells,
Fred Nollmar, Frank Noll, Elmer
Benham. all from city of Marshfeld.

Death of Henry w. Jackson.

We ale called TO mourn the death of
Henry W. Jackson, young man who
gave promise of a bright and success
full future, and the son of Mrs w. l..
Jackson, a widow lady, who resides in
Centralia. The fore part of June while
attending the State University at
Madison he was taken sick with a
bilious attack the result of too active
exercise in athletic sports of which he
was quite fond. He improved some
from this attack, but it left him with an
affection Of the heart from which he
died July 23d, 1896, heart failure the
direct cause.
Henry W. Jackson was born in Cen
tralia on the Goth day of December 1877,
and was therefore less than 10 years of
age when he died He was a graduate
of the Centralia High School, being a
member of the class of 1895. He was
a musician and played in the Twin
City Band, Auers orchestra, University
Band, and a member of Lyceum League
in Centralia.
Henry was a bright young man, of
good character, high IN scholarship,
studious and ambitious. He COM
menced at the University IN the
general science course of four years
with leanings toward the profession of
medicine. Possessing a bright mind
his relatives and friends had reason to
expect great deal of him. Had he
lived their hopes would have been
realized.
The funeral service took place Satur-
day morning July 18th in Unity Church,
Centralia, Rev. VIM. Kilburne officiat-
ing. Most appropriate remarks were
made upon the "Brevity of Lite" by
the pastor and applied to the uncer-
tainty of the life that had just gone out.
The following young men, COM
panions of the deceased. acted as pail
bearers:
Oscar Bandelin, Earl Ridgman,
Carl Madsen, Chas. Pomainville, Orestes
Garrison and John Jeffry.
Honorary pail bearers: Misses Eide
Marceau, Della Jones and Mary Nc
MILAN, Nellie Nash, Emma Schnable,
Roene Havenor.

NEW YORK srOCK IARKET.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE forenoon stock
speculation exhibited irregularity and
wide fluctuations were noted in some of
the leading specialties. A further ad-
vance in actual and posted sterling quo
tations offset the failure of the bank of
England to advance its rate OF discount,
MS had been expected owing to the con-
tinual hardening tendency of money in
London, and provoked renewed discus
sion of the probability of an early re-
sumption of gold exports TO Europe. Es-
Inmates were current of probable ship
ment Of from 100000 to 100000
TO Germany early next week, in connec-
ton with the January interest and divi-
dend obligations The bears made a
show OF activity and again paid special
attention to the Gould stocks, in which
some liquidation was believed to be ap-
parent. Manhattan bore the brunt of
the sales and fell2A per cent to 80, rally
ing to 91M.
Tobacco, which has been neglected re-
Gently, became active and sold up pa
per cent to 77A. The scrip rose 21h per
cent to 20, but did not retain the improve
ment. The rise was not attended by any
news affecting the property and was at
tributed to inside manipulation.
Railway bonds were less active, but
the tendency of prices was upward and a
brisk inquiry was noted for the gilt edged
issues. The sales were $1,061, 000 The
more important advances ranged from
1924 per cent, the last in Northwest
sinking fund skies.
Governments gained slightly ON an in
vestment inquiry, chiefly for the new
fours. The sales were $4,000.

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims to be Benefactor to weak
ened Mankind.

rrbara is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
Int somtimes a man so. overfiows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. II is upon this prin-
cipal that a resident of Kalamazoo,
Mich. desires to send free to mankind a
prescription which will cure them OF any
form of nervous debility; relieves them
of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and
restores the organs to natural size and
yigor. As it costs nothing to try the
experiment it would seem that any man,
suffereng with the nervous troubles tnat
usually attack men who never stopped 10
realize what might be the final result,
ought to be deeply Interested IN remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and yigor, without which they
continue to live and existence of untold
misery. AS the remedy in question was
the result of many years research as 10
what combination would be peculiarly
effective in restoring TO men the strength
they need, it would seem that all men
suffering with any form of nervous weak
ness ought to write for such remedy

are not sending for the prescription OUT

make use of the medicine by giving 1T
a trial, viii be answered promptly and
without evidence as to where informa-
ton came from.
The prescription is sent free and al

can afford to give away his discovery,

Liverpool accounts; still later recuperat-
ing quite sharply on indications OF let
up in movement at interior towns and
ports. There was some buying for con-
tinental account early in the session, but
later the local traders had the market
to themselves. The average of the ad-
vices from Liverpool was much more
cheerful than expected and impaired
hopeful feeling which resulted in some
investment buying in this market. Shorts
were cautious and inclined to cover. The
market closed firm at a net advance OF
1904 points.
