Postmaster Dead at BosCobel.

Vandy j. Kratochwil', a postmaster
appointed by Cleveland, died of heart
failure at his residence in the city Of
Boscobel at o'clock Thursday morn
ing. Feb. IL. 1897, aged So years. He
had been ailing for about month.
but had been able to attend to his
duties at the postofice with the help
of his daughter Ida until two DAYS be-
fore his death. The end came sud-
denly. He was sitting in a chair at
home when he suddenly dropped and
they carried him to a bed and when
they laid him down upon it he was
dead.
Mr.. Kratochwill was SIS years old.
His younger days were passed in
Mascoda where his parents resided
and he came to Boscobel about 20
years ago, since which time he had
been engaged in shoemaking and the
sale of shoes up to the time he was
appointed postmaster, something
over two years ago. After taking
the postoffice he gave up working at
the bench but continued to sell shoes.
In politics he was a staunch Democrat
and no man in north Grant county
did more work in good faith for his
party t'Yan he. Outspoken at ali
times, when the heat of campaigning
was on he was veritable Democratic
cyclone that hurled republicans right
and left; but when it came to a mat
ter Of the heart he was generous and
quick to forgive.
He leaves wife, one daughter and
several sons. His love for his family
was especially marked and he fairly
idolized his daughter, Miss Ida, who
assisted him at the postoffice For
years he was a consistent Odd Fellow
and at the time of his death held the
honorable office of District deputy.
He was also Mason and that frater-
nal organization conducted burial
ceremonies from his residence at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon.
A petition is circulating and being
numerously signed asking that Miss
Ida Kratochwiil be appointed to fill
out the unexpired term of her father.

The facts as developed in court are
briefly as follows: Last summer Mr..

closure and trespassing upon the

These pigs were in the habit of getting
into this cornfield. Afterward they
got down around Horizons barn, but
not into the enclosure where he kept
his own hogs. Two of Duncan's dis

Mr.. Frawley was walking around with

Such conduct, so unusual and so diff
cult for ordinary men, governed by
ordinary motives. to understand. natur-

tons of the three. 1t has been said
that Ruskins life was permanently
embittered by his wifes conduct. and
that she was partly responsible for the

many years.

Guiding chapter is told in this way:
Sir John Millais became i'll with cancer
of the throat. His wife was worried
that 1t was contagious and that she
must by no means kiss him. She could
not bear TO wound the dying man by
seeming to be cold, unfeeling or by
appearing before him reeking with dis
infectants. So she utterly disobeyed the
surgeons, and two months before Mil
lais died cancer developed itself in her
and made very rapid progress. For a
while Lady Milais permitted the sur
geons TO try to arrest the progress of
the disease. for her son still lived. Then
her son died and she refused to submit
to any further treatment.

La dy Millais

IN a gentle way. the newspapers refer
TO the unusual event that distin-
guished the career OF Lady .Minais,
whose death occurred just before
Christmas. Before she became the wife
OF the famous painter. who died some
months ago, Lady Millais was married
10 John Ruskin. the distinguished
author and art critic. The story of the
Ruskin divorce has been told in many
different versions. one of these. which
is romantic but which is claimed 10 be
true, runs this way:
Ruskin and Millais. the critic and the
artist, were warm personal friends.
Ruskin had a great admiration for the
genius Of his friend, and he paid him
the highest compliment. almost. that
could be paid to him by asking him to
paint the portrait Of his young and
beautiful wife. The sittings which were
necessary to that end naturally threw
them much together, and before long
Mrs. Ruskin discovered that she loved
the artist. Ruskin. a man of remark
able intuitive faculties, soon discovered
that there was a change in his wife.
and by observing her and Mnlais dis
covered the cause Of the change. His
love for her was great, and the suffer
ing through which he passed must have
been intense.
Ruskin was satisfied that his wife
had not been disloyal to him in act.
and he felt that it would be cruel to
compel her to live longer with a man
whom she did not love He let the
lovers know that he was aware Of the
affection they had for each other. and
he told them that for his part he would
not be q barrier in the way Of their
happiness. Action followed upon rcgo-
