La Crosse Republican: The nominee for
governor, Gene Stanley. as he is IA
miiiarly called by his host and legions
OF friends IN Kansas, was born In Ohio

ly a quarter of century ago and most
of that time has practiced law as sue
cessful attorney in the city Of Wichita.

state and has taken active part in aiding
the Republican party for many cam
paigns. yet ne has never been candi-
date for Office until now. He is a tenn
r,erzta man and has done much for NOR

FYom Elyria Republican.-Bearing
in mind how near our municipal auth
critics came to loading us with water
works bonds two years ago, that would
nearly or quite have resulted in the
bankruptcy of our taxpayers in these
hard times, and their want of business
sagacity in contracting with two such
scoundrels us Warwick and Cunning
ham to build an electric light plant
that resulted 50 disastrously and swim
died many of our citizens and others
out of large sums of money and labor
and material furnished for the plant,
we should be exceedingly careful how
we vote to authorize them to issue
thirty to fifty thousand dollars with
which to buy the electric light plant
aud add system of waterworks there
to, for which there have been no esti-
mates made by any competent engi.
neer, and nobody knows what is TO be
done nor what IL will cost How car
anyone vote understandingly? If the
party who bought the plant thinks it il
good thing, let them run it. As fol
waterworks, most of us have our water
works and have payed for them, ahC
do not want to be compelled to furnisl

enterprising young men of our village
will soon open new grocery store in

they would have purchased Mr.
Pierce's grocery stock, but his price
was too high fer tn, m. Because our
village has four grocery stores now, all
that is needed, we regret that the new

GOlddn Wedding.

January l5, 1898 was the fiftieth we'd
ding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Storrow, and their children planned
and successfully carried out surprise
for their parents.
The day dawned dark and cloudy,
and rain began falling at an early hour
which continued throughout the entire
day, but regardless of the inclemency
of the weather, over thirty of the sixty
invited guest were present. Itrequired
some argument to convince Mr.. and
Mrs. Storrow that it was their fiftiet h
anniversary, they both protesting hat
it couldn't be for several years yet.
But, after comparing dates they
concluded the children were right,
but that it didn't seem nearly so
long. After the exchange of greetings,
some old time "reminiscences were in
dulged in, after which the inner man
was more than satisfied with the super
abundance of good things provided for
the occasion.
Many tokens of love and esteem we're
left as souvenirs, all of which combined
beauty with utility to remarkable
degree.
1t was an enjoyable occasion, long to
be remembered by all who participated
in it. That they may be spared to en-
joy many more anniversaries, is the
wish of their many friends.

The Ransom Entertainers.


The Ransom Entertainers.
On Friday evening last, quite large
number of the people of this little city
attended an entertainment the like of
which has not favored this town with a
visit for many, many months. The
company consisted of Elmer 2. Ran
som, prestidigitator, assisted by Miss
Ellen F. Cornell, soloist, Miss Dasa
Harmon, mandolin soloist and reader,
and Fred i. Hansell, whistler.
The quartet which opened the even
ing proved to be so fine and found so
much favor with the audience that they
were compelled to render fully three
times as many selections as they were
on the program for. Miss Harmon in
''Me and My Dorg," was very enter
tanning, also in the recall given. The
whistler, Mr.. Hansell, received three
recalls and the audience even demand
ed fourth, but were compelled to be
content with bows from him. His rem
dering Of "The Mocking Bird" was es-
pecially fine. The Italian solo, al
Bacio," by Miss Cornell was greatly
enjoyed though perhaps not thorough
ly appreciated because of the unintell.
igibleness of the words. ben Boult'
rendered by her in her recall, was one
of the finest things of the evening
Though rather run-into-the-grount
sort of piece, it is of character tha
will awaken memories or meditation
in the heart of almost anyone. Tht
male quartet entertained with couple
of selections of the same grade OF pa,
excellence as those preceding.
Mr.. Ransom, the uhdisputed sta
and "hit" Of the evening, penetrated
with the audience the realms Of won

The tricks he performed we're too mys-
tifying and at the same the same time
entertaining to want any description.
The mandolin solo by Miss Harmon
was greatly enjoyed by all, especially
by those present who were lovers of
that particular class of music. he
Schubert Male Quartet rendered anoth-
er selection. Mr.. Hansell now gave q
lengthy exhibition of fancy whistling.
Taking the tune "Almost Persuaded, +"
he executed it in three different ways.
First, accompanying himself upon the
guitar as he always does, he whistled
both alto and air; then trilled the one
and whistled the other: and, changing
third time, he whistled the air and
hummed the bass. 1t was very pretty
and at the same time sounded very
novel and odd. The mysterious cabi-
net was a relaxation from the musical
to the mysterious. Anyone wishing
information regarding either this trick
or the succeeding of the glass of water
are invited to call upon Messrs. McDer-
mott or Wean of this place. The
Schuberts concluded the program with
a beautiful selection.
