A daughter of w. II. Thomas. liv-

critically low with a complication of

The young lady is about seventeen
years old and not strong in constitu-

to be the victor in the fight. which
has truly been fight for life.
The most exciting event of the
week has resulted in our county
boards final rejection of the action
of last years committee, authorized
by the previous board to inquire into
and make certain reports to our pres
ent board in reference to building a
sheritf's residence. The committee
purchased property in this city, but
it was soon discovered that n large
majority of the board disapproved
their action, standing on first ballot
Is to but finally on vote to recon-
slider. II for acceptance and - for re-
lection of the act of purchase. The
committee had unquestionably made
good bargain, but had exceeded their
legal authority, as they all freely adj
mitted. But "A majority of members
considered a confirmation of their act
too dangerous a precedent to be
allowed to pass unchallenged. and so
voted for rejection of the property
and purchase. While your cores
pondent recognizes the justice and
wisdom of calling a halt on the as
sumptive power of this and all other
committees, we believe. in this spe-
cial case, the best interests Of the
county would have been advanced bv
legalizing the committees action. a
new committee was appointed TO re-
port at the next meeting of the board.

taken or performed by others. Col
lege professors and ministers before
encouraging football, as it is now
played, should look beyond the grid
iron, and into the homes of many
young men, who through their en-
dorsement OF the brutal sport, are
led to engage in it, and perhaps they
may realize that in far too many
cases, it means added burdens to
mothers struggling to support and
educate their sons. The Democrat
fully agrees with The Journal in
saying:
"True friends of the game,
lovers of fair, manly sport and
detesters Of brutality, Of smuggling,
will do well to recognize the evils
which have been grated upon the
game"
II these evils cannot be abolished
football must go.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1897

Our friend and brother publisher
Mr.. j. r. Boyle, OF The Dodgeville
Sun, has been deyoting much OF his
time during the past month to his
duties as Grand Lecturer Of the Good
Templar Order of Wisconsin. He is
a good speaker, and the work In which
he is engaged calls forth his highest
purposes and endeavors. Whatever
may be thought of the right to pro-
hibit the sale OF Intoxicating beyer-
ages, the right to persuade men to re-
frain from the use of such beverages
is, beyond the shadow OF a doubt, a
God given right; and In view OF the
miseries which intcmperace brings, no
man sho ud be called u crank or II
fanatic who engages In this work.
We congratule Bro. Boyle upon the
honor which has been conferred upon
him through his appointment as
Grand Lecturer, and believe that he
will fully meet the expectations OF his
fellow workers in the cause.
