feet" could not stand the cold. but the
veteran goose hunter does not mind
zero weather.
A blind in the form OF a pit is made
in the sand on shore near where the
geese and swans are known to rest
and feed. White woolen blankets are
spread in and around the blind to
make it comfortable. and corn is
strewn within thirty yards of It, Al
ter nightfall the hunters hide them
selves in the pit. strapping up in white
blankets which cannot be detected
from the white sand of the beach by
the water fowl. Absolute silence is
maintained.
From far out on the bay comes the
familiar "honk, honk' of the incoming
flock, and the hunters get down low
in the pit. The geese alight near the
beach and soon are in shallow feed.

triches from the blind. When within
range the signal to fire is given in
pantomime by the leader Of the hunt

big No. guns boom.
Some geese are killed outright
others are wounded so they cannot fly
and those unhurt take to instant

water. pursuing first the wounded
fowls and afterwards picking up the
dead ones. This ends the shooting
from the blind that night.

ties of several locations near the depot,

Royal j. Maltpress was born in Utica,
N. Y, Oct. q, 1858, being the eldest son
of IA children born to John and sarah
Maltpress, who emigrated from England
to the u. S. in 1851. The family remov-
ed to Wisconsin in 1855, and settled first
in the town of Fulton on farm and later
moving to Edgerton. r. J. received his
education in the city of Edgerton and in
the fall of 1875 began business as a clerk
in this city. In 1881 he became a mem
Der of firm that opened the first coal
yard in this city, and also dealt in to-
bacco and manufactured brick. He
was the builder of Royal Hall in 1885,
named after him and his business asso-
ciate at that time. AS a business ven
ture this improvement was an unfortu-
nate one, and source of heavy losses.
The year 1888 finds the subject of this
sketch in California, where he was en-
gagged in the hotel business for season.
Returning to the state he again embark
ed in the tobacco business and shortly
after became the Wisconsin representa-
tive of Herbs, Wertheim & Schiller, the
largest cigar manufacturing firm in the
country a position which he has recent
ly resigned
For ten consecutive years Mr.. Malt
press has been the deputy sheriff for
this section of the county under the diff
ferent administrations and much of the
time constable as we'll, both of which
offices are in line of training for the
higher position of sheriff. He is man
of good address, fine physique, nearly
six feet tall and weight 100 pounds, all
of which qualities are requisites of the
office. In this connection we publish
portrait that will introduce our readers
to the next sheriff of Rock county.

Sketch OF the Edgerton Candidate ON the
Republican Ticket.

republican Ticket.
1t is just 43 years since Edgerton was
given place upon the republican coun-
ty ticket, the dominent party of the
county. This fall our claims were recog-
nized In the convention and Royal j..
Maltpress was named as the party cand-
idate for the Office of sheriff. While it
was generally conceded that the favor
was due this section of the county on the
score of equitable division of patronage,
it is no less a matter of a good and of
just pride and satisfaction. The repub-
licans in this corner Of the county pro-
pose to show their appreciation of the
honor by giving the ticket loyal sup
port at the coming election and home
endorsement of their candidate that will
be fiattering alike to Mr.. Maltpress and
the party.

JOSEPH JEFFERs0N'S PAINTINGS.
a COLLECTION OF FIFrY-FIvE sHc

\ COLLECTION OF FIFTY-FIvE SHOWN IN
WASHINGTON.
Washington. Dec pa collection of fifty
five paintings by Joseph Jefferson has been
viewed recently by friends of the artist in the
Fischer Galleries. The exhibit was the second
display in this city of landscare studies
by the widely known and beloved actor
painter. MIR. Jefferson was present in the gall
lery whenever possible and joined frankly in
the criticisms of those who we're fortunate
enough to attend the opening day. His evil
dent pleasure in intelligent compliment and the
eagerness with which he argued for the mood Of
a particular painting indicated unmistakabIy the
spirit of earnestness and affection out of which
the pictures had grown. Those of Mr.. Jefer-
sons critics who have seen him Caleb Plum
mer Rip Van Wrinkle unconsciOusIy perhaps
insisted regarding his paintings as the
aside of q great man of the stage or the
studies Of a diettante. They viewed Mr.. Jeffer-
son, the landscape painter. in the costume of
Bob Acres through the atmosphere of Lend
Me Five Shilings." This is not entirely mis-
fortune. A rare degree of sympathy, mood of
kndness, gentleEess and seriousness are surely
the outcome of an affection so marked-and
sympathy, kindness. gentleness and serious
ness all requisite to proper understand
ing of sincere landscape painting distinct
i've character pervades the display. Despite
the variety of scenes, the pictures have enough
of their makers personality to mark them as
one mans work. But there is in them sugges-
tiOn OF the landscape painters Mr.. jefferson ad-
mires mOst-COrstable, COrOt Daubgny, Mauve
and Ruysdael. Several are done broadly, as
Mauve would have painted them-"On the ISL
and of NaushOn' a monochrome of sepia brown,
for example; several suggest Rousseau. THE
BarbiZon character; The Mill Dam" and two
or three others smack of Constable; there is
view. study of the White Mountains
in fine poetic colors, which suggests Moran. On
the whole. however, the pictures not imi-
