CAUCUS NAMES MEYER.
Lancaster Man Choice of Supervisors
for Chairman of the Board.

Richard Meyer. Jr., the Lancaster
banker, was nominated by acclama-
tion at a caucus held by the Board of
Supervisors Monday evening for the
position of chairman of the board.
The caucus was called to order at
1870 p. m, by c. p. Him of Fenni-
more, who stated the object OF the
meeting. John j. Blaine of Boscobel
was named as secretary. Nominations
were in order and the name of X.
Meyer, Jr., was presented by VIM.
Leighton of Little Grant. 1t was ex-
pected that Thos. Mcdonald of Lam
caster was an avowed candidate and
the interim in which it was antici-
pated his name would be presented
was broken by Mr.. Mcdonald himself
who stated that he was not in the
field. This left no opposition to Mr..
Meyer aud on motion OF A. l.. Brown
of Platteville he was named unani-
mously by reclamation for the place.
Mr.. Meyer arose and thanked his
colleagues for the honor extended af-
ter which the caucus adjourned.

CHOSE ASYLUM

Asylum Turns uD at WdukOn, la.
Is ARRESTED FOR A HOLD-UP
With PenltentldTU Sentence Staring film in
The Face tie DiSGloses fils Iden-
tlty and is Released.

Instances on record are rare where
a insane patient after making sue
cessful escape from confinement
pleads to return, but such Was the
case with Jas Gibbs Monday when he
was confronted with a sentence in the
Iowa penitentiary at Anamosa.
Gibbs belongs at Monroe, Green
county, and was state patient at
the Grant county asylum until June
last when he took French leave and
departed for parts unknown. Supt.
Anderson used every endeavor to find
his man but all efforts were fruitless
and the search was given up. 1t has
since developed that the fugitive went
through Iowa and into Minnesota,
where he found employment in the
harvest fields. The first week in
October Gibbs landed near Waukon,
Ia, and had been in the locality but
few days when he acted in the role
OF highwayman, holding up farm
er on country road and demanding
his money. As the bold robber had
10 weapon ID view, the farmer
whipped up his team and succeeded
in leaving the would-be bandit in the
road behind. He reported the matter
to the authorities, however, and the
sheriff of Allamakee county went out
in search of Gibbs and secured him
on Oct. 9th. The prisoner was lodged
in county Jail and at a preliminary
hearing given him a short time later
was bound over TO trial at circuit
court. Up to the setting of court
Monday, Gibbs exhibited stolid indif-
ference concerning his position and
refused to talk When the news was
impaired to him by the sheriff that he
was to be given a sentence in the pen
ltentiary at Anamosa for his crime
the prisoner came TO a realization of
the situation and related the story of
his career and disclosed his identity
As the crime for which he was arrest
ed was no serious one, the Allamakee
county authorities decided to wait
further proceedings until information
could be obtained regarding the pris-
oner. They advised Sheriff Dickinson
and Supt. Anderson of the facts as
above stated and Under Sheriff Nc
Mahon went after Gibbs, returning
with him Tuesday. When the escaped
patient learned that the Grant county
sheriff was there 10 convey him back
to the asylum he shed tears of Joy
and could hardly wait for the train.
He is once more in care of the asylum
managers. and now states that be is
to demand an examination as to his
sanity.

A $4,000 COURT HOUSE.
La Crosse County Will Build New
Structure to Cost as Above Stated.

The Board OF Supervisors of La
Crosse county in session this week
voted Yesterday to construct a new
court house at cost not to exceed
$50 900. The matter was brought
up last year for consideration but
was laid over. The destruction of
several substantial buildings in La
Crosse by fire of late involving loss
Of property. records, papers, doeu-
ments, etc led the supervisors to
believe that an "ouace Of prevention
was worth pound Of cure so they
wisely concluded to erect a structure
for safety if for nothing else.

DUE THIS WEEK.
Brilliant Display of Shooting Stars

The wonders of that famous night

be repeated during the present week.
For Nov. 18th to Nov. 10th was the
time the great shower of Leonid me-
teors was expected to take place two
years ago. The shower was not then
seen. But the astronomers explained
that the CELESTIAL train had merely
lost time and would certainly arrive
last year.
Again the shooting stars shot not,
and again the unlearned public was
told to mold his breath Just twelve
months longer But il is by no
means certain that the men of science
have solid ground for their predic-
tions. II is barely possible that q
great display may occur this year be-
tween midnight and daylight from
Nov. 18th to Nov. 10th, but the great
displays are a thing of the past and it
is probable that only scattering mem

years, and which were expected to
appear in great numbers last Novem-

true meteoric showers, the orbits OF

midnight and morning, meteors, or
shooting stars, appeared in enormous
numbers in this country, which made
a brilliant display in the heavens and
caused many people to believe that
the end of the world had arrived.

throng again assembled in the club

one OF the enjoyable events that go a
long way toward making fast friends
of new acquaintances and will be re-
mem hered for some time to come BY
all present.

interest in providing enjoyment and
amusement for each of his guests and
those not heretofore acquainted with
his friendly nature and affable man
ner were added to the list who hold
