Me, and "Lead Kindly Light" The intermens was in Hillside cemetery at East Canaan. All the bearers were rel atives of the departed.
 The new board of seiectmen have stepped into the traces and are pulling the load of public affairs with the ease and grace of an experienced and well trained trio of town fathers who are ever watchfnl for the welfare of the town that has entrusted itself to their care and keeping. An inspection of the roads has been made and such re- pairs as need immediate attention have been noted. They have been appealed to by several who have poured into their ears lengthy tales of woe, of real or imaginery abuse and of wrongs of long standing or of recent occurrence; have received voluntary counsel, infor- nation and suggestions from numerous sources, all of which they have patient ly listened to and given such satisfact- ory answers as possible, being careful however. not to promise more than they can easily fulfill. It is possible that many of the bridges and sluices about the town will be repaired and re. placed by new ones. This department will be under the immediate super. vision of Messrs Roberts and Rhoades in perfect harmony of course with MT Norton who will personally attend to the clerical part of the job. We wish them happy. prosperous and success ful administration.

WILLIAM r.. JOHNSON,
For County Auditor.

w. R. Johnson, Republican nominee
for the second term as county auditor
was born in Oswego, N. Y, fifty years
ago and came to Minnesota when his
parents settled in Olmsted county in
1854. His early education was acquir-
ed in an old backWoods schoolhouse
where he attended during the winter
terms, working on the farm in the
intervals. At the age of seventeen
he left home and for time led no
madic life working on steamboats, and
railroading. In 1874 he came to ST..
Paul and was employed in succession
at the Metropolitan and Merchants
hotels In 1880 he became janitor of
the Franklin school and while engaged
in this employment he attracted the
attention of Prof. Taylor, at that time
conneced with the school and by whose
assistance he was enable to better his
education. In 1886 he received the ap-
pointment of secretary of the board
of trustees of the Odd Fellows insti-
tuition, on Fifth and Wabasha streets,
which he held until elected auditor. In
1892 he was elected semblyman from
the Eighth ward and was twice re-
elected. He has made an admirable
officer and his election is almost a
foregone conclusion. Help to make it
certainty by casting your vote for
him. '
