pany of his congenial partner. Dur
ing the war he was Assistant Provost
Marshal, with headquarters at Prairie
du Chen, and afterwards went to
Washington, ID. G. with the 5th Regt,
under Col. Clark.
In the year 1872 he was appointed
postmaster at Lancaster, by President
Ulysses 5. Grant. and held the posi-
tion uninterruptedly for a period OF
twenty years and gave universal sat-
is faction.
He was secretary of the Grant
county fair for ten years, and to those
who remember his physical appear
ance the last two days of the fair it
will not appear extravagant to say
his motto must have been DUTY or
death. His iron will and ever faith
full heart carried him through what
seemed crises.
Mr.. Burr was baptized and received
into membership with the Congrega-
tional church, April 10Th, 1866 and
remained faithful member till death.
He was known to possess large vein
of humor, and his fund of refreshing
jokes impaired delightful aroma to
his conversation. His genial smile.
sunny eountenance, animated CONVEX
sation and decidedly optimistic ex-
pressions gave charm 20 his social

ency an impossihility in his presence.
He had an eye that could penetrate
the densest fog in the valley and look
to adjoining eminence where graceful
towers shimmered in the sunlight; nd
cloud could be so black as to shut out
of sight the silver fringe.
He was desoiple Of Izak Walton,

In the evening of life, his sky was I'M

Eye-witnesses gladly testify to the
beautiful death-bed scene. The en-
forced separation of husband and wife,
of father and sons, was pathetic be-
yond description. The members of
the family kneeled at the bedside, the
wife holding the trembling hand of
her husband in her own, amid the
sobs of his heart-broken family, he
offered to God a prayer of unsurpas-

SENATORIAL SITUATION.
The GRAFT County Representatives sup
port as Many Different Candidates.

The contest now on at Madison for
u. S. senator promises to bea memor-
able one in Wisconsin politics. The
campaign began weeks ago when sew
eral candidates opened headquarters
in Milwaukee. AT the opening of the
legislature the seat of war was trans
ferred to Madison. The first ballot of
the republican caucus was held Jan.
II. Ballotlng has continued nearly
every day since and the tangle gets
more and more intertwined at every
turn.
In the first session OF the caucus
there were three ballots, the vote
standing, j. B. Quarles 81, 49,, AS;
Isaac Stephenson, 80, 80, 1e j. w.
Babcock, 10, II, II; Samuel A. Cook,
Is, IS, II; Judge Webb; 10, 9, 10.
The sensation of the evening was the
change in the votes of Quarles and
Stephenson on the third ballot coupled
with the fact that the first and second
ballots were secret and the third an
open one The incident led to
charges of bad faith on the part of
Mr.. Quarles' Milwaukee sup
port which angered them and which
later caused their open hostility to
Mr.. Quarles' campaign,
twenty-five ballots in all were tax
en- last week. Mr.. Quarles lost few
votes, Mr.. Stephenson being the gain
ar, otherwise each ballot was but a
repetition of the former one. The
twenty-second ballot stood Quarles,
Al; Stephenson, 23;Babcock, 16; Cook,
IS; Webb, 10; with three or four abb
sentees.
Another caucus was held Monday
night with practically the same vote.
On Tuesday in compliance with u.
s. law the two houses of the legisla-
ture voted for senator. In the
assembly the vote stood Quarles, %;
Stephenson, 20; Babcock, IA; Cook,
IA; Webb, 5. Ryan. Dem.) II. In the
senate, Quarles, IS; Stephenson, g.;
Babcock, 3; Cook, Webb, 5; Ryan,.
A joint ballot of the two houses
was held Wednesday noon with the
same result practically as Tuesdays
vote.
Grant county's members are divided
as badly as the other members. Sem
ator Baxter is supporting Mr..
Quarles, Mr.. RYAN is voting Tor Mr..
Babcock, and Mr.. Mcdonald gives his
support to Mr.. Cook. Neither has
made an expression of second choice.

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.
Journey to the DakOtas and Return
Going Through Ohio.

Alliance, O., Oct. 6.-The Pennsyl-
vania special, bearing the presidential
party westward, arrived in Alliance at
1915 yesterday, having made the run
from Pittsburgh without stopping.
The president and the members of the
cabinet, all OF whom are on board, ex-
cept Secretary Gage, spent the morn
ing quietly. Crowds were noticeably
absent from the different stations
along the line, as it was well known
no stops would be made. Early yes
terday morning the private car of Sem
ator Hanna was attached to the presi-
dental train for short time, allow
ing the president and the senator an
opportunity for brief conference.
As the presidential train went farther
westward through the state of Ohio
the crowds at the stations grew larger.
AT Chicago Junction a great number
of school children were collected at the
depot waving flags and cheering for
the president. At every station the
crowd loudly clamored for speech, but
the president skillfully evaded these
requests by bringing forward and in
Producing successfully the members of
the cabinet, each Of whom was invar-
ably greeted with much applause. So
the first day of the the trip has been
passed contrary to expectations, with
out an address or speech of any kind
and the addresses at the Quincy
soldiers home this morning will mark

of the day were at Tifiin and Fostoria

rible revenge Tuesday night on the
girl who Tilted him and on her accepted
sutton, when, with single shot, he
slew them both, filling their heads with
buckshot within four hours after they
had been made man and wife. He fired
the shot through the window of the
home OF James Cook, where the bride
and groom had just partaken of a we'd
ding supper, and then, walking few
yards away, he put the muzzle of the
gun to his head and almost blew 1t off
with the remaining load. The victims
of the murderer-suicide were Frank
Walker, young farmer, and his wife
who, until three hours before, was Miss
Maud Goshorn, daughter of William

out of any danger from the northeastern.
The Shamrock remained at her anchor
at the Hook, her people willing to take
the chances, The wind blew up pretty

to say nothing of the powerful Erin.
The feeling on both sides is one of con.
