Prendergast, of this city, and Frank
Mosel, residing in Deer6eld, Dane
county, will engage in the manufac-
ture of candy at Madison, commencing
about February 1. They are employees
Of the Woodland & Stone company. and
have been for many years. Joseph
Kleiner has represented this house on
the road for twenty years, and is sexten-
sively known throughout Southwestern
Wisconsin. A few years since he came
within few votes Of the Republican
nomination for sheriff of Dane cOun-
ty. James Prendergast has been with
the company twentynine years, and
for the last few years has been the
foreman Of its extensive candy depart
meut. He has served several terms
as alderman of the Fourth ward, and

QUARTERMASTER-GENERAL.
colonel Albert SolIiday, of this City, to
Be Member of the Governors
Official Family

Ine appointment is announced ot
Lieutenant-C Colonel Albert Solliday, oil
this city, to the quartermaster-
eralship of Wisconsin, to succeed
General Zwietusch, resigned. Colo
mel Solliday has been a conspicuous
figure in the military and political cir
cles OF the state for a good many
years. His first advent in official life
was as a member of the Watertown
board of education, and later as a
member of the city council. It is
needless to say both of these posi-
tiors were filed with signal ability.
In 1892 he was elected to fill a va
cancy in the state senate caused by
the death of the late Walter S.
Greene, and in 1894 was reelected
for the full term. The colonel is q
veteran Of the war of the rebellion,
and was the second officer in command
of the Second Wisconsin infantry in
the late Porto Rican campaign. The
colonel has always taken the greatest
possible interest in military affairs.
His services as adiutant of the Sec
ond regiment. and later as major of
the First battalion, attracted the at
ten ion of the military men of the
state. Colonel Solliday is a Pennsyl-
vanian by birth, and came to Water
town in 1868, following the pro-
tession of dentistry until his retire
ment from the active duties of the
profession about six years ago. From
a military standpoint the governor
has made an exceptionally good ap-
pointment, and the large circle of the
coloners friends heartily rejoice at
the action of our chief magistrate.

Contest Withdrawn.

After mature deliberation A. j.
ThOrne has concluded not to conte st
the right of Herman G. CRUDE to a
seat in the Legislature from the First
assembly district of jefferson county.
This is in keeping with the advice of
the Republicans of this city, who,
while believing our laws are made to
be observed, do not desire to see any
candidate deprived of an Office to
which he is fairly elected. Jechni-
calities should cut no figure in our
elective system, and the action of Mr.
Thorne in deciding to discontinue
further proceedings meets with the
general appreciation OF our citizens.

DODGE COUNTY SHRIEVALTY.
Mr.. Labuwi Refuses to Turn Over the
Office, Books and Papers to
the Sheriff Elect.

What promises to be prolonged
contest over the Office of sheriff of
Dodge county was inaugurated at
Juneau Monday. The complaint is
made by Marcus Sterr, of Waupun,
who charges the new sheriff, NJ
Lehner, with bribery, and with
having promised him the appoint
ment of under-sheriff if he, Lehner,
was elected. 1t is also alleged in the
complaint that there were thirty
votes thrown out in Waupun which
should have been counted for O'Con-
nor. There was much speculation at
the time as to the legality of the ac-
tion of the board in not counting the
votes in question, but as there was
no objection made by any Of the in
spectors, or others, and as the in
spectors are the sole judges of what con-
stitutes legal vote, the matter was
considered settled. As to the charges
of bribery, that is a question for the
courts to determine. 1t would be
we'll enough to suspend Judgment un-
til the sheriff-elect has had his day in
cOI1rt

has since that time resided in Mime

cradle distinction in his profession.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneumo-
MIA always results from cold or from an
attack of la grippe. During the epidemic

many cases resulted in pneumonia, it
was observed that the attack was never
followed bv that disease when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy was used. 1t

grippe to result in that dangerous dis
ease. 1t is the best remedy in the world
for colds ana la grippe. Every bottle
