The funeral OF Miss Helen Badgley
was conducted at the Christian
church last Sunday. She WAS a
daughter OF A. A. Badgley and was
at the home of her uncle, Ed Bad
gley at the time of death. She had
been an invalid for a number of
years She was an estimable young
lady and had large circle of friends.
The Lamar Democrat in comment
ing upon the retirement of Judge
Lay. says: And the democratic
papers in the counties above men
toned have been suggesting that
". W. Graves, of Butler, is a prob.
able candidate for the judgeship to
succeed Judge Lay. Should Mr..
Graves become q candidate, and re-
ceive the nomination, he will surely
be elected; aud the Democrat has no
hesitancy in saying that he will
make a model judge, as he is a mod
el man and good lawyer.
The Bates County Democrat an
nouoces that Thos. j. Smith, a
prominent lawyer of Butler, will
also be a candidate for this position.
Mr.. Smith also possesses the quail
ficatious of good judge; and Bates
county will have to choose between
two of It's own citizens.
The taxes of certain merchant in
a village in this county was three or
four dollars more on the same assess.
ment than last year. The merchant
in paying his taxes took occasion tc
call attention to that fact and wrote
Ia very sarcastic note to the county
collector saying in Substance that
the county officers were trying tc
get all the money the people had
and then kicked them because they
didn't have more. If this gentleman
had Investigated he would have dis
covered that his village taxes hac
been increased $3.50 on the $1,000
valuation and au increase had beer
made in the school levy, neither o
:. which the county officer could pos
sibly be held responsible for.

A LIVELY session of the senate
committee on state affairs was had
when the bill to permit theuse of the
long distance telephone wires of the
Wisconsin Telephone company by
local companies upon payment of
tolls was considered. Henry G.
Payne, OF Milwaukee, appeared for
the Wisconsin Telephone company,
while II. A. Taylor, of Madison, and
others spoke in favor of the measure.
The discussion was lively and there
are hopes by those supporting the
bill that it will receive a favorable
report. fit passes the senate there
is little doubt of it going through the
lower house without material oppo-
sition.

THERE is an indication that M.
Halls anti-pass resolution will be
returned to the assembly with fav-
orable recommendation The meas
ure is before the judiciary committee,
and from the fact that there was no
open opposition from the railways
at the hearings on the bill, and the
general demand the press and public
have been making for it's adoption,
the committee can hardly fail to re-
turn a recommendation for it's adop
ton. The committee is divided on
the question, but the final result will
likely be majority report. The
minority OF the committee will prob
ably content themselves with dissent
ing in committee and make no report
to the assembly.

THIS, from The Whitewater Regis
ter, has the true ring to it: 1--WE hope
that President Mckinley viii accom-
plish two things within the first three
months of his administrations
the adoption of strong American
home policy which will produce reve-
nue. sufficient to meet the expenses
Of the government, and will throw
open the market" of America to
Americans; and second, the promul-
cation Of a foreign policy which will
give the American flag the same power
to secure protection for American
citizens abroad as the flags of other
nations give to their citizens. More
than that, we hope that he will take
means inside of week to learn the
exact situation in Cuba; and, if the
interests Of American citizens and
the rights Of humanity demand a
cessation Of hostilities there. that he
will say STOP so loud that it will not
only be heard in Spain, but clear
round the world"

Some Peoples Folly.

Why some persons will suffer with
the excruciating pangs of rheumatism,
when they can be so easily cured by
that greatest Of pain-cures, Salvation
Oil, is past human comprehension.
That Salvation Oil does cure rheuma-
tism is evidenced by Mr.. G.. F. Schra-
der, Pierce, Neb., who says: 81 have
used Salvation Oil and think there is
no liniment on earth like it. I had the
rheumatism for several months and
could get no relief until [ used Sal
walton Oil, two bottles of which effected
cure, and [ feel as well as ever. No
home should be without it." Salvation
Oil is sold everywhere for Is cents.
When dealers offer a substitute be-
ware, you'll be victimized. Insist on
having the best, Salvation Oil.

Captain John A. Barney, of May willie,
Cor county judge to oppose Judge
christensen. Mr.. Barney has served
SIS clerk of the courts several years
and is a popular, wel]-known gentle

sequel to Senator Burke's measure
before the legislature, providing for

oeof the Dodge county court. The in

REPUBLICAN several weeks ago. The

THERE is an interesting case on
over in Waukesha county. Two
weeks ago Assemblyman 0. L. Rosen-
krans had published over his sigma
ture in The Waukesha Freeman a
letter criticising court and county
officials, and now the latter have in
sUituted proceedings against MIR.
Rosenkrans for alleged libel, the Mil
waukee law firm of Quarles, Spence &
Quarles having been retained as
counsel for the plaintiffs. That por-
tlon OF the communication which
provoked the suit reads as follows:
"Just think of it! It has cost our
county about $4,000 during 1896
for criminal work and only very few
so called habitual criminals in the
county, and nearly all o. this large
sum paid, and much of it unlawfully

tice he will make a fairly good law.
