Judge William A. Wilkes of Sioux
Falls, candidate on the peoples ticket
for Judge of this circuit, has been IN the
city to-day making the acquaintance of
mis- many friends, and we may safely say

makes a very favorable impression
wherever he goes, and his known probity
as a mar and ability as a jur,st make
him q strong candidate. he is a man
whose sympathies are with the common
people, and being on the right ticket he
is q SUR winner. His many feiends in
Lake county are pleased to meet him
and will roll up q handsome majority for
him on election day.
Brookings Press (rep.(, IA: We see
that Bro. Mease of the Sentinel has
been installed by Uncle Sam as post.
master at Madison. We are glad to note
this as we think Mr.. Mease has richly
earned the appointment. For two years
past he has been q servlle lingo, a politi.
cal jumping jack, and a trailer of Boss
Kittredge's personal organ. BE has fed
the gang taffy while he ate crow. II
there is any independence IN his make
up we trust that it will assert itself, now
that he has been placed under the
fostering protection Of the civil service
law. At least he might pen an original
editorial and let the public know his
views on Mary's little lamb.

vino had gone out in a boat on Lake
Herman hunting ducks. When far out
on the lake he shot a duck and in doing
so his paddle fell into the water. In
reaching after it he capsized the boat
and fell INTO the water, losing his gun
and other effects. He seized the boat
and began to paddle himself ashore with
his hands and feet. The water was chill
and the distance great and but for the
encouragement given him by a dozen or
| fifteen onlookers on shore who had no
boat OF other means Of assisting, he
would several times evidently have given
up in despair. When he reached near
enough shore for the ~bystanders to pull
him out, he was physically powerless
and almost unconscious. He was taken
to L. @. Stout's house, near by, where
by warn drinks and rubbing and the
assistance Of q physician. he was brought
round to . condition able to return home
this morning. .
