concerning the appointment of new
pOstmasters hereabouts, some of which
is not altogether new to the better
posted politicians:
During the present month several
presidential postoffice cases in Wis
cOnsin will be ready for settlement by
the appointment of Republicans to
succeed the present Democratic incum-
bents.
"Within the next few days the terms
Of the postmasters at Columbus, Ke-
waunee, Watertown, Prairie du CHEN,
Jefferson and Fox Lake will expire.
''In most of these cases there are
several candidates, and no decision
has been reached by the representa-
tives, who will make the recommend
ations, and possibly the present in
cumbents will hold on a few weeks
longer.
cat Watertown there are two can
didates, w. F. Gruetzmacher and Her
man Strauss, with the chances appar-
emily favorable to the former. The
present postmaster, William Rohr, is
classed as a gold Democrat and his
term expires in about ten days. About
the same time the term OF the post
master at Jefferson expires. The
contest there has narrowed down to
George j. Kispert, who is chairman
of the Republican county committee,
and Adam Fuchs, with the chances in
favor of the former
Congressman Sauerhering has rec
commended the appointment of John
c. Grell as postmaster at Johnson

OBITUARY..

William {. kurzweg. younger son
of our tOWnsman, F. w. Kurzweg, and
gentleman well known to most of
our people, died at 4 o'clock Monday
morning at 353 Wells street, Chicago,
in the house of old friends. Brain
fever was the direct cause of death,
although the deceased had been in
poor health for several months and
his constitution, naturally delicate,
had been severely affected by pulmon-
airy troubles. Last spring, while on a
business trip to Boston, Mr.. Kurzweg
was attacked with la grippe, and the
siege was such a serious one that he
was obliged to come home shortly
after to recuperate. He reached here
in June with the intention of remain
ing through the summer and resuming
business in the fall, but he was again
taken seriously i'll in September, pre-
venting the contamination of his
plans. Ten days previous to his
death he went to Chicago to receive
treatment from specialists, but moth
ing that medical skill could do was of
any avail. AS he calmly breathed his
last, his father, brother and sister
were at his bedside. The remains
were brought here Monday evening
and the funeral will be held to-mor-
row afternoon at 2 o'clock from ST.
Marks Lutheran church.
Deceased was born in this city
June II, 1869, being therefore in his
29th year. He received a common
school education and then was en-
ployed by Rack & Jones for four
years. At the age of 10 he went to
Chicago and was engaged with Mar
shall Field & Co. for three years, af-
ter which he became a travelling
salesman, representing different
wholesale mercantile houses. The
last two years he was a travelling repre-
sentative of The Chicago Dry Goods
Reporter and also of a large Cleveland
lithographing house.
Mr.. Kurzweg was a very courteous
and atfable young man, and possessed
excellent business qualifications which
made him a successful salesman. His
disposition was most happy one,
rendering him an agreeable com
panion and popular associate. His
friends were legion here and all sin
cerely regret his untimely death.
General sympathy is extended to the
surviving members of the family.
Tolof Tolofson, an early settler of
the town of Concord, died at his home
there Thursday last, aged 80 years.
The widow, one son and one daughter
survive. The remains were laid to
rest Saturday afternoon.
Christian Reese died last Wednes-
day afternoon at his home in the
town OF Pennington, aged u years.
He came to Pennington from Germany
in 1860. Mr.. Reese leaves eight

Dahms, in Ixonia. Her age was IS
