convention with forces too weak to

No other leader in the state has to

The present caucus law makes it
easy for the people to take hand in
politics and makes it difficult for the
machine leaders to fOiSt unwelcome

The people are evidently taking a

Mr.. La Toilette is the hope of that
large class of people in Wisconsin, who
believe the Republican party can be
bettered in character and accomplish

brave to raShnesS in defense of the

The people want him and if nominated

TO OUR GUESTS.
The People of the City Ask But Little of the
Editors-Their Pleasure is Our Law.

Gentlemen Of the press, Scriblers all,
brethren of the sheerS and quill, in
behalf Of the most generous-hearted
hOSpitable people that ever threw open
their homes to the reception of our
omniverous fraternity, we bid you
welcome to our city. The mayor will
formally turn the keys over to you at
a little later date. We have belled
the cat, discharged the police $50 far
as you are concerned,) drummed the
grumbler out of town, and if there is
anything you want and don't see, call
for it. 1t is here waiting to be plucked,
eaten, drunk or stored away for your
future consideration. If you don't
have good time it will be because we
don't know how to give it to you-an
error of the head, not OF the heart
and all we ask Of you is not to forget
us in your influential cogitationS on
the subject when you get home again
and take your readers into your con-
fidence. The city is yours, use it to
your hearts content, but in leaving
take nothing away except our good
will and blessings for a pleasant jour
ney through the Wisconsin river valley
and a safe return to your homes and
families.

DEATH OF E. B. BRUNDAGE.
A Widely Known and Much Beloved Citizen
Passes AWay

Edward B. Brundage is no more in
this life. Death came to him Friday
morning, July 6, 1900, at / O'Clock,
after a lingering illness of about one
year with Brightdisease. Perhaps no
one else is better qualified to portray
the principle characteristics of his
life than we are. While he was our
competitor in business, we were true
friends, always ready to help each
other in business undertakings. We
take pleasure in saying of him that
he was true friend, kind neighbor.
good citizen, an ideal husband, and
an affectionate father. What more
could you say of any man? We sadly
mourn his early departure from this
life, because this world needs more of
such men as ideals for other men to
follow. His habits were exemplary,
his character pure, his daily conduct
all that one could ask. Weneed more
of such characters in this community,
as we'll as others, to raise the standard
of living to higher ideal.

MOONLIGHT RAINBOW.
Dawns Upon The City at $50 O'Clock tuesday
EVeninu

Frank DAILY kindly called our atten-
tion to the appearance of a most
unusual natural phenomenon WedneS-
day morning, it being nothing less
than the plainly visible ''bOw of prom
iSe' at $50 in the evening, after the
sun had taken his departure from our
vision and only the pale rays of the
moon were left to magically illumine
the misty veil that hung over the
northern horizon. All of the gorgeous
cOlOrS of the rainbow were visible but
not quite so bright as in sunlight. At
first, we were suspicious of the aurora
bOrealis or an electric light seen in the
mists through well-develOped jag,
but the summer season and the re-
putable character of the numerous
witnesses, who might be said to be
above suspicion in the matter of jagS,
settled the matter in our mind-it was
nothing but ii moonlight rainbow. and
was witnessed by Mr.. DAILY. Otto
Nicholson, \. II. Robinson and numCr-
Gus ether residents of the town.
