WHAT III COSTS.
Some of the Recent Candidates for Office
File Statements .-Others Seem to
Haye Forgotten

Although the time has expired for
the filing of statements of expenses
by the candidates who were before
the people in the recent election,
most of those who come under the
provisions of the law have not COM
piled with it. At noon today only
five statements had been filed with
Register of Deeds Calder. AS there
were seventeen nominees on the
county ticket, and only three of
them have filed, it looks very much
as though number OF politicians
had overlooked the matter. Besides
the nominees the law includes all
who were candidates for nomina-
tons, whether successful OR not.
The heaviest expense account was
that of Senator-elect O'Neil, whose
statement shows the expenditure of
$400, but there is credit of $3.50 on
account of services rendered to the
State Central Committee AS
semblyman-elect Mccormick files a
a statement of $50, which is pretty
liberal, inasmuch as he had no OPP
position. Register of Deeds George
A. Calder swears that his expenses
were $40; Clerk of Court L. A.
Bells statement is for $3.50, and
County Clerk John Froseth's ac-
count is $57. 80. These are the only
accounts filed.

BAYFIELD, COUNTY MAS 1892
The Increase in the County's Population
purIng the Past Ten Years is Near
ly DoubIe.-Growth of North
ern T. art of State

The population of Wisconsin, by
counties, was made public by the
census bureau at Washington last
Saturday. The count of noses de-
velopes that the population of the
entire state is 2,099, 042 as against
/, 686.88O in 1890, ten years ago.
This is an increase of 382, 1862, or
226 per cent.
bayfield, county is given at II, 1892
as against Z, 800 ten years ago. The
increase is nearly q double in the
total population. The figures of the
cities and towns has not been given
out, but it is safe to say that Wash
burn will chase 1000 pretty close.
Is there anything very small about
this increase-we would like to
know The greatest gain anywhere
in the state was in Milwaukee where
the increase in the past ten years
has been "a, 900. But ali through
the northern part of the state there
has been steady and marked in
crease. Not only have the towns
grown rapidly, but the agricultural
districts have been steadily looming
up. Farms by the thousands have
been opened, and the population has
correspondingly increased Douglas
county shows up big in the increase,
jumping in population from Ii, 1853 in
1890 to 36, 1895 this year. This is
owing very largely to the steady
growth of the city of West Superior.
At the time Of the 1890 census Ash
land and Iron county were one.
The population of the two counties
must therefore be figured together,
and the result is that an increase is
shown of 6,729 people in the ten
years. This is certainly good but
hardly shows up with Bayfield,
county, though. The population of
Ashland county this year is 20, 176
and of Iron, 6,719. The two count
les, which were under the organiza-
tion of Ashland county in the 1890
census showed population 20 063.
Chippewa county increased from
%, 1913 in 1890 to 33,037 this year;
Clark county from IL, 048 to 1898;
Brown from 80. 164 to 49, 1856; Ke-
nosha from 1881 to 21,707, and
Rock from 43, 220 to 1,203. Villas
county organized since the census of
1890, and has a population of 4, 929,
and Iron county also organized
since 1890, a population of 6,616.
The largest increase in tie coun-
ties is in the northern part of the
state, which has been cleared of
timber and settled more extensively
in the last ten years.
There is one county in the state
that has lost in population since
1890. This is Green, in the south
ern tier of counties, bordering on
Illinois. The population in Green
county in 1890 was reported at o.
1872, and by this census it is report
ed at 22,719, representing loss of
thirteen in population. Forest
county made the smallest gain, it's
population be;ng ,O122 in 1890 and
!, 1896 in 1900.
1t is likely that bulletin will be
issued within d few days giving the
pODulatiOn Of the towns and cities.

Quite number of the young peo-
pie from Washburn attended the
Maccabee dGstce here on Thanks
giving Eve. AS the Board of Health
of Washburn has forbidden all public
gatherings or meetings of any kind
there on account of the small pox
epidemic, there could be no dance
given in Washburn Of course the
young people wanted to trip the
light fantastic on that night, and as
there was no other way for them to
get together only by going out of
town, they did SO and came up here.

Such Is Believed to be the Cause of
George Furbush'S Death.
HIS BODY FOUND NEAR NASH
A Bullet Hole Through the Head and a
Revolver Close at Hand are All
That is Left to Tell the Story
of the Tragedy

Iho dead body of George Fur
bush, the Ashland lumber inspector.
was found in the road between here
and Nash Saturday forenoon, and
the discovery caused a great deal of
excitement about town, as Furbush
was quite we'll known here, and had
many friends in the city. It an
pears that he drove over from Ash
land in the morning and transacted
some business here, and started
to drive home at about ten o'clock.
A short time latter Furbush's horse
was discovered going through Nash
without driver, and was stopped.
An investigation was started. and
soon three men on foot were found,
who stated that they had found Fur
bush's dead body ia the road. The
authorities here were notified. and a
coroners jury was empanneIled, and
proceeded to the scene of the tray
edy. The lifeless remains were
brought to this city and the investi-
cation of the jurors was proceeded
with. Everything seemed to in
dicate plain case OF suicide, but the
jury evidently did not desire to place
itself on record until further in
vestigation could be made, and re-
turned the simple verdict that the
deceased came to his death from
bullet fired from pistol. The three
who bad discovered the body were
held In custody for a time, but as
there was nothing to Indicate that
tthey knew anything. OF the tragedy
they We're subsequently, released.
At first there was a good deal Of
talk of murder and foul play, but as
there was nothing in the condition
of the dead man, or in the circum-
stances connected with the tragedy
to bear this out, the theory finally
because universal that it was suicide.
The remains were taken to the home
in Ashland in the evening, and
from there to Alpena, Michigan,
Monday, for burial. 1t seems
that Furbush must have become
Respondent while returning to his
home from here, and pulled the re-
volver from his pocket, and fired the
fatal shot. The bullet entered the
brain, and was still there when the
remains were discovered Furbush
was a prominent member of the
Elks lodge, of Ashland, and also a
Mason. He has visited here IL
business way great deal, for num-
Der of years, and was popular
gentleman, and was supposed to
have been prosperous in business
way. No reason has been assigned
Tor the commissioner his rash act of
self destruction, and no cause be-
yond spondency will likely ever
be known. He leaves a wife and
family.

The Omaha Railroad Company
maintain an oyster-like stiffness as
to their plans and inten tions, but
Judging from the amount Of i'm

being unloaded there, something big
is certainly in sight It is not at all
reasonable to suppose that the COM
pany would make all the improve
ments that are now under way if
they intended to continue the use of
the large shed aud dock for their
salt business. The dock and she'd
has not been used TO any extent
for a year or two, and the -four busi-

General Quarantine Raised.

During the week the number OF
small pox cases have very materially
decreased in number. There have
been one or two new cases, while
, number of the patients have been
released.
The Board of Health met this
evening and issued an order raising
the general quarantein. Beginning
tomorrow there will be no further
ban on public gatherings, and lodges
churches and schools will continue
as heretofore. The public schools
will consequently open next Monday.
The disease is confined to the places
where it now exists, and no further
spread is anticipated.

The bond which County Treas
urer elect A. I'll. Wilkinson will
have to furnish before he takes
charge OF his Office next month will
be 500, 600. This amount is about
half what some of the state treas
urers have had to furnish, and it is
indeed very much out of proportion
with the salary of 800 a month
which the office pays. Mr.. Will
kinson was in the CITY the first
of the week, and says that he will
haye the bond ready in few days.
The county board at their meeting
Tuesday appointed committee com
prised Of Supervisor Mussell and
Habelt, who will pass upon the
bonds Of the several county officers,
who go into office next month.
Supervisor E. Sauve, Of Iron River,
presided over the deliberations Of
the county board at Tuesdays meet
ing, in the absence of Chairman
Lien. The report Of the special
