a Factory Possibility.

Clarence F. Hunzicker, of Detroit,
Mich, spent several days of last week
in this city looking over the prospects
for the location of baby carriage
factory here. He and his brother
have been in the business for several
years at Detroit, but they recently
sold out and now desire to start a
similar business in Wisconsin. While
here Mr.. Hunzicker inspected the
Faith Home building in the Fifth
ward and said it would be we'll
adapted to his purpose after a few
alterations had been made. We
understand he secured an option to
buy from the owners.
If this new project materializes a
large force of men will become en-
p.oyed and, it is expected, a prosper
Gus business established which could
not fail TO be Of benefit to the city at
large. Beside baby carriages and 60
carts, it is the intention to manufact-
ure reed furniture, mattresses and
plush goods.
The Hunzicker boys we're raised
near Hubbleton and are we'll known

Early Sunday morning the lifeless
body of Chris. Anderson, a Swede who
MADE his residence here for few
years past, was found lying below the
hayloft in stable on the premises of
G. Becker, North Water street. It
had been tnderson's custom to sleep
in the loft and it is surmised that he
retired there some time during Satur-
day night, he having been seen in
town that evening, although for
several weeks past he had been en-
ployed with threshing crew in the
country. Physicians were summoned
and an examination showed that the
mans spinal column had been broken
at the base of the brain. 1t is sup
posed that he either fell from the loft
while asleep, or that he fell upon
opening the door Of the stable An
inquest was held Monday before JUS

death rendered.
Anderson was about 40 years CT age

DEADLOCK is FINALLY BROKEN
COlumbia County Goes to Dane and
NOminates AyIward-End of Dem
occatic Congressional Eight.


ocratic Congressional Fight.
After being in session week, the
Democratic convention Of the Second
Congressional district came to close
Monday evening, when John A. Ayl-
ward, Of Madison, was made the nom
inee. The result was brought about
by Columbia county leaving it's candi--
date, j. E. Jones, and throwing its.
five votes to Aylward, which, with the
original thirteen of Dane, made the
eighteen necessary for choice.
This outcome is what was originally
expected by many political prognosti-
Gators, but the probability of it stead
lily grew less as the deadlock pro-
gressed from day to day and Colum-
bia, with the exception of casting a.
few mplimentary votes, first for
Bodden and then for Bechaud, contin-
ued to stand steadfastly by its favor
ite son.
The nomination, when fually effect
ed, caused wild excitement. as we'll it
might after the seven days of contin-
lock one of the most notable political
contests ever occurring in this state.
A committee was sent after the sue
cessful and the defeated candidates,
and each made a speech before the
convention. The sentiments expressed
all around had a harmonious air to.
them and no soreness was visible on
the surface, but the actual situation
may be different when all have had a
chance to quietly mediate over the
matter.
Jefferson county, as usual, came
out of the contest beaten at every
turn-not only for the nomination.,
but as well for gaining the credit of
breaking the deadlock, which it might
have had, and which it was generally
understood it would have when the
adjournment over Sunday was taken.
However, Mr.. Bechaud would not re-.
lease the delegation on Monday, think
ing that he still had show for the
nomination, and SO his men stuck to-
him to the last, only two of them vot--
ing for Aylward on the deciding bal
lot. During the five sessions Friday
evening, again on Saturday, and still
at the first session Monday, Bechauds
led the procession with seventeen'
votes, Dodge county voting for him
steadily, but he seemed unable to Sc
cure the one vote necessary to nomi-
nate.
1t is stated that Columbia's sole
reason for finally supporting Aylward
was desire to reciprocate the favor
shown by Dane two years ago in help
ing to nominate Jones.
Mr.. Aylward is 80 years of age and
the present city attorney of Madison.
He is gentleman of pleasing address
and said to be capable of putting up q
strong campaign.
