tude by his bedside.
Mr.. Jordan, by his natural gifts, close
Application aud no rest dealings, his
KIND Y spirit aud mob g lively nature, won
for himself Il pace in the heart, OF his
townsmen, n ii in the esteem of all who
knew hin. 1t can be truly said that IL

shown by the off :es entrusted to him
by the people. He was postmaster for
many years, first selectinan, town CLERK,
justice OF the peace, and several times
representative to the State legislature.
The able manner in which he met and
disc charged hi, pubic duties is familiar 10
all who knew him.
He had great natural, intellect uai
ability, aud Of remarkspiy clear vision
and sound judgment. He wall be he'd la
grateful remembrance by his townspeopte.
Few men who for SO many years have
been In town affairs, have made such Il
notable record rs he. He will be greatly
missed i'll the community and in his
home.
Funeral services were held at his late
residence Friday at p. M, Rev. A. II.

BOYCOTT THE CENTRAL.
Stevens Point People Do Business
with Other Roads.

Stevens Point, Wis, Sept. 23.-J. B.
Last, general freight and passenger
agent of the Green Bay & Western rail
road, was here Thursday and made ar
rangements to run a special freight train
over his road from New London Junction
to Stevens Point and Grand Rapids
daily. It will connect at New London
with the Chicago & North Western fast
freight from Manitowoc, Milwaukee and
Chicago, and will get goods from the two
last-named cities in here two hours
earlier than they are now delivered over
any other route. Incidentally this ar
rangement is due to the local boycott of
the Wisconsin Central, and the conse-
quent increase of business ON the Green
Bay & Western, the only other road en-
tering the city. The boycott of the Wis
consin Central is due to the removal of
it's shops and division headquarters, and
consequently many employees and their
