Sevral Men Want the Political
Plum.
THERE WILL BE A RACE FOR 1T.
George WeyhauSen Well Spoken For the
Place.
Jim" NOLAN MAY BE A CANDIDATE.
Some Sub. Rosa Men Are in the Field And
They Will Likely Make
the Path Rocky.
HERE WILL BE A RACE FOR IT.
JIM" NOLAN MAY BE A CANDIDATE,

Several county politicians are feeling
members of the County board to ascer-
tain their chances of winning the office
OF county assessor, which was created
by the last Legislature, the emoluments
being 81 day It's expected that the
job will last about four or six months,
and as there is very little expense at
tached to securing the position it is SAID
to be political plum,
The county board will make the APP
pointment at the Fall meeting next
Ncvsmher and some lively bOttonh cling
will 60 on between then and now.
From those who seem to be on the inside
it is said if George Weyhausen OF Two
Rivers can be induced to take the place
his chances are exceedingly good He
made the race for county clerk last ta.
with all the chances against him and
he put up as plucly fight as any man
on the ticket aud took his defeat phil
osophieally. Mr. Weyhausen is in no
sense of the word seeker for the office
but members of the County board have
spontaneously brought hi name for
ward as man worthy of any post which
the board can fill
Another man spoken of for the place
is James Nolan, county chairman Of
he Democratic party, and as everyone
who is a Democrat knows jim he
needs no introduction. He has done
good work for the party and he has
held positions Of trust under the county,
always filing them with satisfaction to
the people generally
There are some subrosa candidates.
While they are avowdly seeking the
county assessorship, yet they are un-
willing to allow their names to come t.
the front until the proper time. The
County board will likely choose wisely
when the time comes

TRIP OVER COUNTY
ROADS AFTER A
THIRTY YEARS ABSENCE.

That early impressions fix themselves
indelibly in the mind was forcibly IL
lustrated in trip taken through the
county last week by DR.. w. H. Earles
OF Milwaukee, his son Wesley and Glenn
elt Murphy 1t is now thirty-five years
ago since the doctor travelled the same
roads, yet it seemed as if he knew every
copse as he passed by and the boulders
Oh the roadside were as familiar to him
as they were in his boyhood days
There is Il fence on the way between
Pine Grove and Cato It is the same
old fence the doctor sat upon one sum-
mer afternoon thirty-fye years ago
when visions of tke future, Of its posi-
bili:ies, danced before his mind, but
Not in rain the diStdat bcdc0nS

made at the cemetery While looking

Passing out of the gateway of the GEM

ago as Il boy how he hauled timber and
brick for that structure
Ont at Kellnersville the rig pulled mp
at Mike Kellnei's place. Mike was sit
ing ON the outside bench The doctor

years. After moments look into each

While out near Franklin the doctor
embarked that he could point ont u
spring located on the Rowland farm
which he drank from forty years ago.
So vivid was his memory that at dis
lance of half a mile he pointed out the
location of the spring with almost math-
G NAUTICAL accuracy.
Not the least interesting phase of the
trip TO the doctor was to see again the
school houses where he learned the rud-
iment- of his education, and where sub
sequently he impaired what knowledge
he had to others

The Columbian is one of the best Office
blocks in the city It is built substan-
TALLY of brick and red granite, is five
stories high and is finished In an up-to-
date manner. The building is thoroughly
modern in every respect.
It was erected in 1889, twelve years ago

exclusive of the cost of the two building
lots on which the block is situated.
The building was mortgaged to the
Northwestern Mutual Life Association in
the sum of $4,000 which was eventually
paid off A second mortgage of $40 900
was made to the State Trust company of
Rutland of which about $4,000 was can
ceI1ed.

erected the United States Savings bank

ferprising young men of means in To-
peka and he has shown his faith in the
city by this purchase which puts into his

EASTER RECESS.
Parliament Has Risen After an IN
satisfactory Session

New York. April "A dispatch to tho
Tribune from London says:
Parliament has risen for the Easter re-
cess afts= a session more satisfactory to
the opposition than tQ the government
The record of business is meager. but thar
is a small matter in comparison with the
lack of energy and judgment with which
the house of commons has been led.
The continuance of Lord Salisbury fri
power for many weeks is doubted by some
OF the most experienced parliamentary
hands; There are rumors that DE has
sought to offer his resignation before his
departure for Beauleu. and that A.. j.
Balfour would be found in the upper
house when parliament reassembles- An
other version is that nothing viii be done
for a fortnight, and that Lord Salisbury
may consent to remain fin office until the
close of the session If his health improves
the Riviera.
There was no lack Of gossip in the smoir-
ing room of the house of commons dur
ing the closing hours but the only
points on which there was q general agree
ment were that the government had been
on a. downward grade since the king s.
speech was read and that stronger
leader than Mr. Balfour was needed in
the commons.
