Masoralts Fight in pratte,iIIe

Platteville has big fight on her
hands in the choice Of city officials for
the ensuing year.
The republicans held caucus few
days ago and nominated Il. b. Smith
for mayor and four other aldermen.
The democrats met later and have
chosen Dir. Gasser as candidate for
mayor.
Much dissatisfaction was felt among
a large number of republicans and a
considerable number of democrats
over the action of the caucuses which
eliminated in the calling of peoples
caucus which nominated Prof. ID. f.
Gardner. the present incumbent, for
mayor and the same men for alder
men the republican caucus named.
The warmth of feeling wakes hotter
each day and is liable to blaze any
minute. Such endearing terms as
saloon bum, gambler, land .'goody
goody' are freely interchanged
Party lines are being dropped and
the fight seems to be narrowing down
to consideration OF the personal
characters of the candidates The
outcome will be watched with inter-

The case of Mrs Wilson against the
First National Bank of Platteville
presented interesting features. David
Wilson husband of the plaintiff had
handled her property for her several
years and among other things had
rented box in the bank for the safe
keeping of moneys and papers. He
died suddenly something more than a
year ago leaving in this box money
and securities amounting to over two
thousand dollars. The bank refused to
deliver the property deposited in the
name of David Wilson to his wife
fearing the liabilities of a suit from
other heirs.
Suit was brought by Mrs. Wilson
to get possession of the money and
papers. After careful hearing of
the testimony the Judge ordered the
bank to deliver to Mrs. Wilson the
contents of the box as they clearly be-
longed to her but requiring her to
pay the expenses of the case, as the
bank officials had followed the strict
line of duty in retaining possession
until receiving other orders from
proper legal authority.
Court will adjourn to-day to meet

Superintendent City school,
Reply hy rresldent chalmer..

The foregoing communication would
be misleading without an accompany
ing statement of facts. For instance.
..numher three. on making applica-
ton for admission to the Normal
school. reported to me that he had
been in the second year Of large
city high school in a neighboring
state. | assigned him to class work
temporarily, pending the receipt Of a
certified record of his high school
standings. which asked him to send
for. If these standings should prove
satisfactory his admission to the Nor
NAL department was to be made a
matter of record. Finding that the
promised certificate was not forthcom-
ing. he was dropped from the school
before the end of the third week, his
people We're notified, and he has not
been inside the school for four weeks.
He has never been catalogued as a
Normal student.
Number four" was in our prepare
tory Department at the close of last
term. In the economic administra-
ton of the teaching force and the dis
tribution OF class work at the opening
of the present term, it seemed wise
to temporarily disband the Prepare
tory class. In this emergency mum
Der four was given a seat in the Nor
NAL Department. 1t was simply an
emergency case caused by the tempo
rary breaking up for economic rea-
sons of the Preparatory class. He
had seat in the Normal Department
for less than four weeks in all and was
never registered as a Normal student.
And so the facts run.
And vet do not mean to say that
mistakes have not been made in the
administration of the affairs of the
school. 1t is too much for me to
hope that in dealing with more than
five hundred students there should be
absolute lseedom from error. / have
made mistakes in the past and fear
that | shall not be proof against them
in the future. | am quite willing. on
general principles. to plead guilty to
at least twice as many errors as are
charged against me by our city super
intendent of schools.
Our city uperintendent is working
hard and faithfully in the face OF un-
usual difficulties and perplexities to
build up for US first-class high school
and in this effort he deserves and
should receive the hearty cooperation
and support of all. Ones perplexities
and annovances will sometimes find
expression in direction not altogeth-
er proper or just, but for this he
should not be too severely censured.

A Model Hotel.

While in Potosi few days ago the
editor of the HERALD had the pleasure
of being entertained at the CONNER
cial Hotel. The unpretentious APP
pearance of the building gave no in
dication of the open-handed hospi-
tality of the interior. The accom-
modating proprietor, Mr.. Jos.
Vogelesberg is a model host and his
amiable and industrious wife BY her
efficient supervision of the culinery
department and thoughtful care for
the comfort of her guests, has given
the hotel an enviahle reputation for
excellence and good cheer.
The occasion was a festive meeting
Of Masonic brethren in The village;
craftsmen from Lancaster and Cass-
vile were present; all agreed that
Joe's treatment of the crowd was
square and chat the compass OF his
generosity was equalled only by the
bigness of some of Doc Hartford

Won't Play Tag ANY More.

The boys who have been pilfering
money from store tills around Lam
caster met with violent reverses few
days ago They showed considerable
ingenuity in their dangerous labors.
On going into store they would fall to
scuffiing, or play tag, when one boy
would break away and run around
behind the counter to avoid his pur-
suer. Then the pursuer would keep
up a war dance, or show of trying to
get at the boy behind the counter who
was busy at lodging him and robbing
the money drawer. In stores that
had bell on the dawers, or where from
neglect the bells was out of order and
did not ring. they played tag with
great success and the flow of candy
and good things into their capious
maws was like the flow of the brook,
ceaseless; until they were caught in
the act of making off with IS bill
from one of the stores. Now they
keep SO still that You can hear gum

Joe and james smith and Gus kroening
Are Charged with Attempti7 Robbery
and Murder
Newspapers printed at Deli 'aplds'
South Dakota. give particulars OF a
terrible affair which happened there
a few DAYS ago, in which three young
men. former residents of this county,
are charged with being participants.
From the Dell Rapids Times and Trib-
une we gather that four young men
went to farm house eight miles
from Dell Rapids on certain night,
intent on robbery. The four men
were Joe and James Smith, aged Is
and 20 years, sons of John Smith. who
formerly kept a tavern at Ellenboro,
a wealthy and influential man who
was respected by all his acquaintance;
and Gus Kroening, aged u years.
whose parents are honorable farmers
residing four miles southwest of Lam
caster on the Beetown road; and an
other named Kepharte, boy Younger
than the other three.
Entering the house, they command
ed the gentleman and his son to hold
up their hands and deliver up their
money, at the same time drawing
their revolvers. The son of the own
er Of the house was plucky fellow
and instead of obeying orders. grapled
with one of the Smith boys. Then
the shooting began. One of the rob
bers shot the young men who was
tussling with Smith, three times.
The first shot grazed the side of his
head, the second creased the side OF
his neck and the third bullet entered
his abdomen. Somebody shot the
old man but not fatally.
After being arrested the four men
were given hearing and the boy
Kepharte turned states evidence. In
the testimony elected at the hearing
the people with whom Gus Kroening
boarded swore that on the night of
the shooting the young man was at
home and went to bed at the usual
time. After the hearing the men
were bound over in the sum of $4,000
to appear at circuit court. The
Young fellow who was shot three
times was not dead when the Dell
Rapids paper was issued.

city and in the country where he re-
sided Nobody here who knows the
