Hillbors Woman Shot.

Sentry A special dispatch from
West Superior to the Evening Wisconsin
tells of tragedy which befell a former
Hillsboro woman Last Monday, so the
dispatch says, Ed Erich, bachelor 30
years old, shot Leyins Thompson, the
woman be loved, in the head The wo-
man is badly wounded but will recover
Erich was lurking near the restaurant
where the woman came 10 work and
shot ner just as she was entering the
place. He ran off at once and is sup
posed to be in hiding near the city. A
detail of police is on his trail. Erich
made love to the woman but was un-
successful That, together with drink,
probably unbalanced his mind. Mrs.
Thompson left here last spring and
went to West Superior where she has
since lived with her daughters. The
news OF this tragedy was received here
Tuesday, and it is hoped by her friends
here that she may soon recover.

Size of the Ballot.

The ballot for next Tuesdays election
is SO inches in length and 16 inches in
width and contains five presidential
tickets. The nominations are arranged
on the ballot in this order: Democratic,
prohibition, republican, social democrat
and socialistic labor. The democratic
ticket therefore occupies the first col
umn and the republican the center col
umn. The social democrat and the So
cialistic labor come under the head of
individual nominations At the head
of each ticket the candidates for presi-
dent and vice president will be printed
and the last names on the ballot are the
candidates for county superintendent Of
schools. The form of ballot is changed
from the old Australian ticket of the
past only that it is palmer. To vote a
straight ticket one only has to make an
X in the square at the head of the bal
lot. No other marking is necessary.
Sample tickets will be found at every
polling place

What Work MANS to Us.

There is something more In work than
its visible attainment of sn object 1t
has strong effect on character, 1t is q
discipline, training in self-denial
Were there nothing more in work than
accomplishing an end, we should become
selfish and narrowed in character. In
dustry is the first step man takes toward
civilization. Idleness means vice. The
loafing man of wealth is as despicable
as the pauper loafer 1t is work which
sweetens rest. 1t alone gives pleasure
in worthily attained relaxation. Life,
itself is work. Emerson says, Only to
do is to live"
The Oriental idea of Nirvana is the
philosophy of decay. We must seek JOY
in work We must put the best of us in
our work. honesty, faithfulness, patience,
humanity 1t is living up TO high ideals
in our work that keeps it rom becoming
drudgery. Carlyle says, only by climb
ing the mountain can we view the plain.
Work worthily done broadens the men,
tai view While we keep in mind the
nobility of work. and put our best efforts
in it we shall gain satisfaction of far
higher value than mere pleasure seeking
can bring u.s.. Milwaukee Journal.

IErEREsr TO EVERY CITIZEN.

This is sae last issue of the CENSOR
before November 9, the day when the
great political battle shall have been
won. and il is timely for us to urge every
republican voter to see that not only his
vote but his neighbor's is deposited in
the ballot box before the close OF the
polls on that day 1t is not only nee.
essary that republican principles should
triumph, but the victory shou. "a be so
complete that the democratic ,srty dare
never again enter canpaiga with a
platform based ON the political hereSies
of the present While your vote may
not be necessary to secure republican
victory it is no less essential that every
republican voter attend the polls that
Wisconsin, g proud record of 100, 600 ma
jority for Mckinley four years ago shall
be exceeded this year, and TO show that
her intelligent electors cannot be led by
fine spun sophistries or political scare
crows, to forget the material prosperity
and advancement of all the people and
the nation and the bright prospects that
are before us for the future dulled by
an indecisive victory. The republican
ticket from tl.1 iilustrious names that
head the rational ticket and our brilliant
for governor to the last name
ON the county ticket is worthy of the
support of every mani who believes in
sound currency, busi aess prosperity and
the honor of the American flag.
Make a special effort, every one TO
get out the complete republican vote.
