Brief Sketches of Those Who Have
Passed Away During the Week.
MRS. JOHN r. SLACK.

MhS. JOHN n. SLACh.
In the death of Mrs Slack, Decorah
loses one of her first pioneers.
Ann Maria Foley was born in La
Porte, Indiana, April 5th, 1885, and
was the youngest of eleven children,
only two of whom survive her. Her
mother having died, she came west
with her father during childhood,
finally locating, in DecOrah in 1855,
where she has since resided
She was married to John Rowe Slack,
July Oath, 1858.
From this union there were nine
children, all of whom with nine grand
children survive her.
She was lifelong and consistent
member of the Roman Catholic church.
On Dec 18th 1899, she was taken i'll
from a complication of liver and heart
trouble, from which she died at 3:45 a
m, Thursday, Jan. 4th, 1900, at the age
Of "a years and nine months.
Funeral services were held at St.
Benedict's Catholic church, Sunday,
Jan. 7th, at $50 q. M, and she was
laid away to rest In the Catholic ceme-
terry, beside the remains of her husband,
from whom she had been separated but
one year and 10 days.
Mrs. Slack was woman Of quiet
tastes, kind and affectionate disposition,
and will be greatly missed by her
children and those who know her best.

AHEAD OF THEM ALL.
Such is the Showing Made Before the
Board of Supervisors.

At the meeting of the Board of
Supervisors held last week, that body
notified the newspapers of the comfy
to file before 900 o'clock Friday morn
ing, list of every bona fide subscriber
to said papers, living in Winnesheik
county. The lis's are carefully made
out, sworn to before the proper officer,
and filed with the Board, who exa-
mine hem and award the printing of
the proceedings of the Board to the two
papers i'm Decorah having the largest
bona fide yearly circulations, and to
one outside of Decorah. The exami-
nation showed that PUBLIC OPINION
had 1854 subscribers in the county, the
Decordh Republican 1858, and the
Ossian Bee and Cdtnaar Courier each
something less than 400, with the Bee
in the Lead. Neither the P0sten nor
Journal filed lists, the number of their
subscribers in the county being much
less than the other Decorah papers.
The PUBLIC OPINION, Republican
and Ossidn Bee were designated official
papers, and a comparison of the figures
reveals the fact that our list is nearly
100 larger than any other in the cOun-
ry. Facts are facts, and the proof is
plain. When you want circulation
the above. Our list is grow
ing daily. Seventeen names have been
added since the list above mentioned
was filed.

Two Fire Alarms.

The sounding of the alarm on Friday
noon called the department to the resi-,
dence of Mrs. Lee, on West Main
street, but it proved to be only burn
ing chimney.
Monday evening the draperies in c.
N. Goddard's corner store window
caught fire from the acetylene light in
the window, and made things pretty
lively for a while. The fire was easily
extinguished, but not before the con-
tents of the window were destroyed
and both windows were cracked.

SEN. GEAR REFLECTED.
Will Succeed Himself as U. s. Senator,
DR.. D. H. Bowen, of Allamakee,
Speaker Of the House. An
Unprecedented Campaign.

The greatest political struggle of its
kind in the state of Iowa is ended, and
as consequence. Hon. John H. Gear
will continue as United States Senator
for another term, and Hon. d. H.
Bowen, of Allamakee county, will pre-
side over the House of Representatives
during the twenty-eighth general as
sembly of Iowa.
Our people are well aware of the
history of the campaign. Senator
John II. Gear was candidate for re-
election and Hon. A. B. Cummins, of
Des Moines, was contestant for the
Office. AS the struggle progressed and
its close drew near, the canvass for
Speaker of the Iowa House of Repre-
sentatives became drawn on Senatorial
lines, with Hon. w. l.. Eaton, of Usage,
the candidate of the Cummins forces,
and Hon. d. H. Bowen, of Waukon,
the choice of the Gear forces. The en-
tire stress of the campaign was laid
upon the race for speaker, as it was
conceded that If Eaton could be defeat
ed for speaker, the election of Gear
would be certain, because the latter
had a strong majority in his favor in
the Senate.
The writer arrived in Des Moines
early Thursday morning and found the
city already filled with politicians from
every section of the state. The large
lobbies of the Savery and Kirkwood
hotels were a seething mass of men
from dawn until long after midnight.
1t was struggle unprecedented in Iowa
politics in more ways than one AL
though a contest for the highest honor a
state can give, and so close that no one
could foretell its outcome until the last
few days, yet the most friendly rela-
tions were sustained toward each other
and the usual bitterness of
such contest was nowhere visible.
On Friday night a secret caucus was
held by the Bswen forces, which was
by forty-One members of the
House. After considering plans for the
closing up of the campaign, it was
suggested that those friendly to Powen
sign pledge that they would support
him and vote for him in the caucus.
This was signed by forty-one members
and later by two more, and on Satur-
day the Bowen forces claimed forty
three votes
The caucus of the members of the
House was held on SATURDAY. evening
in the capitol building, and resulted in
the nomination of Hon. ID. HI. Bowen,
he receiving forty-three votes and Hon.
w. l.. Eaton thirty.eight.
This practically settled the senatorial
as well as speakership fight, and Hon.
A. b. Cummins announced his with
drawal from the race. The senatorial
joint caucus of the House and Senate
was held on Monday evening, when
Hon. John II. Gear was reelected for
United States Senator by acclamation.
The result of this long continued con-
test is indeed gratifying to this paper.
From the beginning we have been sup
porters of Senator Gear and DR.. Bowen,
and feel that their election is death
blow to office-seekers who are members
of political party simply from de-
sire to hold Office and control the votes
ofmembers of a party, and from men
who bolt party when men of their
choice are not successful candidates.
