Stevens Point Gazette: Dewitt
s. johnson, of Eagle River, and Mrs.
Ella Rice, of Rhinelander, were mar
ried at the Methodist parsonage in this
city, Rev ]. Ell. Tippet officiating, last
/ Thursday evening. Mr.. johnson was
formerly postmaster at Rhinelander,
but is now publishing the Villas County
! Democrat at Eagle River. Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson went from here to Wau-
toma, where Mrs. Johnson was raised
and where her parents now reside.
The Senatorial contest will soon be
taken up in dead earnestat Madison.
At present J. V. Quarles, of Mlwau-
|. kee, appears to be in the lead with
, Congressman Babcocd a. close secand,
The other two candidates are Exon
gressm Cook and Judge Webb. From
present indications it would seem that
;. the fight between the three lead
ing candidates is so warm that it would
I, be impossible for either of them to Sc
= cure the prize, Mr.. Cook has also
, made pretty strong canvass and can
not help but have raised some feeling
Judge Webb, on the other hand, has
L not made any personal canvass. MOI
! will he do so. What support he has
~
ceded to be an able man. one OF the bes'
= equipped men in the state for the posi-
+ ton. He will go into the caucus witt
h seven or eight votes at the start, pos
bly, more. These will stick by hin
e and his strength will increase as the
J. voting goes on and when the final break
S comes we would not be at all surprised
to see him the winner. GCv Scofield is
: also being mentioned as a possible
6 dark horse as is also Lieut.. Gov Baench
: Quite change is noticeable around
the Court House and there are several
new faces to he seen there. In fact
. John Radcliffe is the only one OF the
! old set to be found there and he instead
of having nearly all of the business to
loook after will confne his attention
to the comfy clerks Office. w. j. Kyes
the new treasurer will look after his
Office himself NJ Cronin, who sue
ceeds John Radcliffe as clerk of court,
has appointed Mrs G. F. Sanborn as
his deputy and she will have charge of
that office, and either n. A. Garrison
the new register OF deeds, or one of his
family, will probably attend to the
duties of that offtce. c. F. Colman sue
ceeds G. F. Sanborn as district attor-
ney and T. Laughlin w, A. Bradford
as sheriff. Mr.. Laughlin has moved
his family into the sheriff's residence
adjoining the jail and will probably
look after the prisoners himself. He
has not as yet announced any appoint
ments Of puties or undersheriff Jas,
Carlin succeeds ". Monsell as survey
or and A. King takes the place OF ?.
Walters as. coroner but in this county
those Offices are of very little import
ance. County Superintendent Higgins
is the only officer who succeeds him
self.
