ono COUNTY REPUBLICAN nCKET
m. Imnrovement Convention.

AAA4kAANNRAA4SAeA
The addresses made yesterday at the
opening Of the meeting of the Ohio VAL
ley Improvement Association were full
of interest. Gov. Atlslnson's welcome
sueeeh was notable for the information
II contained, and President Yance's an
pual address, which was In the nature
Of a brief report for the year, contained
some suggestions which are of especial
interest. Both will be found in the con-
yention report. In connection with the
fact that Congress did not pass river
and harbor bill during the past session,
ON account OF the extraordinary de-
mands that were being made on the
treasury for war expenses, President
Vance brought out the wisdom of the
preyious Congress in providing for the
continuous contract system. Notwith-
standing the war emergency preventing
further legislation before Congress
again meets, the work of improving the
. Ohio and It's tributaries, provided by the
act of 1896, continued right along and
Will continue until the gross amount
then appropriated is exhausted. This
demonstration OF the wisdom of the eys-
tenn is a complete vindlcatIon Of the
idea. which has heretofore been en-
dorsed by the association. In referring
to the change In favor of the govern
,,o,. ,rnnrovament of our internal water
ways which has taken place In public
sentiment, and that the policy is no
longer made a political issue, President
Vance finds in this happy state of affairs
a powerful factor leading to the sue
cess Of the efforts Of the association to-
ward the completion OF the plans for
continuous navigation from Pittsburgh
down, and for the Improvement in all
ways OF the Ohio and It's tributaries.
The tribute paid by President Vance
to the members of Congress and sena-
tors representing the states interested
IN the great work Of the association, for
their services and their devotion to the
interests OF their constituents, was de-
seryed in every instance. The especial
reference to Representative Doyener's
valuable work in the river and harbor
committee. and the service he has rem
dered the organization. will be heartily
appreciated by the constituents of the
captain. His compliment that our con-
Or..ar,an has demonstrated good judg-
ment and marked ability in all move
meuts for the improvement of the grea;
vrterway in which We are interested,
and as a member of the rivers and har-
bor. committee, he has neglected no
opportunity TO carefully guard the In
4erests OF his constituents and the whole
Ohio valley" was gracefully rendered.
while the convention Is not a large
one in point OF numbers. It Is thoroughly
representative Of the whole valley and
uE important interests, and its del!ber-
atoms will be OF great benefit, greater
nsrhaps. than the public in general is
able TO appreciate Just now. The work
Of the association SO far has been Of
vast importance, and the movements
inauEura,ed mean results OF incalcu-
liable value TO the splendid region capa.
bic of much greater things, and consd'
tu,ing one OF the wenlthless, In re.
Oourcss, and largest in population In The
limited States.

set all the world a-wondering by his call
for an international conference, the OBJ
ject OF which shall be the maintenance
OF general peace and ;hc possible re-
ductlm of the excessive armament

proposal is certainly a mngnanlmous
one, and It's sincerity cannot be doubted,
but when It is remembered that Russia
IS almost at daggers' ends with a nation
equally as great as herself. many ex-
press the opinion that the era of uni
versai peace would be decidedly nearer
were she to abandon her menacinr and
aggressive policy in foreign countries.

Albert j. w els.
Secretary,

The subjoined sketch of Albert J.
Weis, Republican candidate for regis
ter of deeds of Jefferson county, ap-
peared in the last week issue of The
Fort Atkinson Union:
Rarely does a man receive such a
splendid endorsement as did Albert j.
Wels, our efficient register of deeds,
in the unanimous and enthusiastic re-
nomination given him by the rising
vote of the whole county convention
Of ninety delegates.
Mr.. Weis was born at Watertown,
April 19, 1857. He was educated in
the public schools of that city, and at
the age of Is entered the employ of
William Buchheit, later the William
Buchheit Mailing company, as buyer
and salesman of barley and malt.
He was trusted employe of this firm
for over twenty years.
Two years ago he was nominated
and elected on the Republican ticket,
as a Gold Democrat, which was a
splendid recognition of his patriotic
adherence to the principle of honest
money, or dollars worth of dollar,
and through him, of the many other
Democrats in this county, who re-
mained solidly upon the rock of honest
money.
Besides having made an accurate
and efficient officer for the past two
years, he was chiefly instrumental in
obtaining, through the honorable
county board of supervisors, by unan-
lmous vote of its members, a system
OF files and shelving, absolutely neces-
sary for doing the county's business,
as it should be done at the present
day, saving all unnecessary wear and
tear on books, and enabling him to keep
all papers recorded or filed in that Of
flee (and not called for for from one
to fifty years past) in such shape that
they can now be handed to their own
ers at moments notice. This adds
greatly to the security of the thousands
OF documents that fill the shelves and
files in the big vault.
In 1883 Mr.. Weis was married to
Miss Henrietta Fuermann, Youngest
daughter of the late August Fuermann,
who presides most graciously in his
home.
His prompt and obliging way of do
ing business has made him many new
friends tn 'oughout the county, as was
shown ty the handsome endorsement
given him at the recent county con-
ventiOn.

A Suspect i'm the Tolls

Saturday Deputy Sheriff Smith ar
rested, near Appleton. a strange young
man who is suspected of having stolen
a silver watch from the home of Nor
man Humphrey, on Sixth street, one
day last summer. For obvious reasons
the young mans name is withheld for
the present. He was taken before
Justice Henze Monday and his pre-
iminary examination set for October
20, he meanwhile being lodged in the
county jail.
1t is claimed that the suspect was
engaged in taking orders for enlarg-
ing pictures and in this capacity called
at Mr.. Humphreys residence. He was
told by the servant girl that nothing
was wanted in his line, after which
she returned to her duties in the rear
part of the house. The watch in ques-
tlon was lying on shelf in the room
which the agent entered, and it being
missing after his departure, it is sup
posed that he embraced the oppor-
tunity to appropriate it. The watch
was subsequently sold at Beaver Dam,
and this furnished a clue to the appre-
hension Of the suspect.
