There Will be Plenty to Take Part
In 1t.
A LIST OF THE CANDIDATES.
Every Office Seems to Have Some One
Eagerly Looking for 1t. The Men
as Rule are Entirely Fitted
for the Positions

There seems to be no end of candi-
dates, real and prospective for the
numerous county offices. A few
weeks ago THE TIMES published a
list of the probabilities; but it has
materially increased. OF course the
main wrestle is for the sheriffship,
which appears to be much-desired
position. The other offices will not
have to go begging, though, from
present appearances, and no matter
what the final result may be the
number of the disappointed ones
will likely exceed the happy. The
following may be said to be practic-
ally "a complete list:
For sheriff: w. H. Smith, Ole
Johnson, John Mckay and Gilbert
Olson, of Washburn, and L. Fl, Lier
of Mason.
For county treasurer: L. N. Clau
sen, Washburn; Alonzo Wilkinson
Bayfield,.
| For register of deeds: George A
Calder, George A. White, and H. P
Axelberg, all of Washburn.
For county clerk: John Frosetl
and George A. Morgan, of Wash
burn
For clerk of court: Geo. f. Nc
IClintock of Washburn.
Unless signs fail the present dis
trict attorney, who is candidate
for denomination will likely have
Iplenty Of opposition. His probable
Iopp5nent is Morse of Iron River, ant
! there is a possibility that A. R
Mead OF the same place, may DC il
the race.
T. A. Bell, of Iron River, is alsC
said to be a candidate for a county
office, but just which one he is after
we have not heard definitely stated.
Mostly all of the candidates are
competent and worthy citizens, and
it is more than probable that {
strong ticket will be picked from the
list when the delegates finally as
semble to do the Job.

Ashland had but short time to
crow over its defeat of Washburn.
The boys came across the bay Thurs
day, and the fans, were dead sure
that their team would defeat the
locals. At the conclusion Of the
game the score stood II to in favor
of Washburn. Considerable money
was exchanged on the game.
Hayward was another one of Wash

Expansion in Northern Wisconsin.

The wise poor man who bought
farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufacturer who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin few
years ago, when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaping their reward. Northern
Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truest sense Of the word. OPP
portunities have not passed by any
means. There are still thousands of
acres OF rich hardwood timber lands
awaiting the settler as well as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Coed roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaolip,
maral aud timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.

But the Doctor Got Little Credit For
His Efforts.
"A story illustrating the good sense
and humor of the late King Humbert
is told at the expense Of his physician,
DR.. Saglione. Sometimes the king,
from his hunting lodge Of Castle Flu
sano went to the sea and amused him
self by shoveling sand into a cart.
''Take care, your majesty" said Sagli-
one one day, mot to persplre too
much" "Ah, my dear Signor Doctor"

on his two hands that grasped the
handle Of his spade, this muscular ex-
ercise does me much more good than

must abuse nothing" "But tell you
that 1 feel very well, and you are

the king finished filling his cart.
However. by exposing himself in
every way without exercising any care,
the king contracted bronchitis. which
took a chronic form and gave him a
rather troublesome cough. This cough
was a source of anxiety to the faith
full doctor. as he could not convince his
patient of the necessity for taking med
tcine. Occasionally the doctor was
even sent away abruptly by the king,

One evening. however, the doctor
thought be had gained his point, and he
prepared for the king in his bedroom
the powders he was to take during the
night. The next morning DR.. Saglione
rose very early. being very anxious to
know the effect Of his medicine. He
was received in the bedroom and at
once asked, well, how does your mai,
esty feel this morning?"

AN EVENING OF ONE SIDED TEARS

Mr.. Gallup had gone down town
after supper to hear the political news,
and it was 8 o'clock when he got back
home. He had left Mrs. Gallup clearing
away the dishes and singing Happy
Day." but when he returned she was
lying on the lounge with her eyes
closed and the house quiet as a grave
yard. He sat down after a glance at
the figure and laboriously united his
shoes and pried them off and then
picked up tue family almanac to see
what time the moon would be in her
last quarter. Ten minutes passed, and
Mrs Gallup uttered long drawn sigh.
Two minutes later she groaned. 4
minute after the groan, as Mr.. Gallup
had paid no attention to her, she sat
up and said:
Samuel, you've come here jest in
time l was afraid I'd hev to go with
out biddin you goodby, but you are
here. You hadn't been gone from the
house ten minits when went to carry
the milk down cellar. wasn't think.

when all to once l heard voice sayin,

your second wife, wouldn't object to
your first wife's grave, but I'm differ
ent from most women. You'd better
think the thing over purity seriously.
And there's another thing. Samuel. A
long time ago l told you that if you
ever got married ag'in I'd haunt you.
l was mad and said more'n l ought
to- OF course could come back as
ghost and roost on the footbcard of
the bed and keep you awake nights,
and could hide down cellar and skeer
you most to death when you come
down after cider, but Pm not that kind
of woman. Right here and now 1
want to tell you that I'll never haunt
you nor your second wife. Don't you
think I'm purity good Samuel?"
Mr.. Gallup had finished the pitch
fork testimonial and struck one where
man had been blown up with
stump, and he was SO interested that
he didn't hear her question. She
wept for three or four minutes and
then said:
NO. don't go to any unnecessary ex-
pense to lay away my mortal remains,
Samuel. AS my speerit will be fyin
around In eeaven, it won't make no
great difference about my body. When
Mrs. Thompson died. she wanted a
funeral to cost $3.50, but I'm not Mrs.
Thompson. You'll marry again. Of
course, and you'll need all your money
to fam out with. Second wives allus
fam. Yours will want a new dishpan,
new curtains, new knives and forks
and as many as three new tablecloths
the very fust thing. Speakin of table
cloths, Samuel, I've made the last new
one last seven years. l don't expect
any praise fur it, but when your second
wife shakes one all to pieces in six
months you'll see difference. What
kind of second wife are you goin to
marry, Samuel? You needn't be afraid
to tell me. fur there isn't jealous hair
in my head. Will she be cid or
young?"
Mr.. Gallup yawned and stretched and
thrust out his legs, but he had nothing
to say.
"Mrs. Roedecker says you'll probably
marry young chit of II, and Mrs
Jackson says you'll probably look fur
a wilder with as many as five cows,
but amt goin to find no fault in
either case. On the contrary, l kinder
pity you. Second wives allus smash
and break and bust things, and if you
say anything they'll sass back and pull
hair. You'll be rid Of me and my trub-
bles, Samuel. but there'll be times when
you'll sit down on the wash bench out
doors and wish was back. Yes, you'll
acknowledge to yourself that I was
hardworkin and savin and that was
no hand to CAD about, but I'll be an
angel. and you'll hev to plug along the
best you kin without me. That's all,
Samuel, and will now die and hev it
over with" @
She stretched out on the lounge and
folded her hands and closed her eyes,
and for ten minutes there was silence.
Then Mr.. Gallup yawned again, look
ed around and saw her there, and as
he rose up to wind the clock and go to
bed he observed:
"You'd better turn the cat outdoors
and see if the kitchen window is fas-
tened up NJ. QUAD.
