Town Meeting.

The Review mentions the names OF
several candidates for town Office at
the annual Town Meeting, viz: Mart
Hirzel, Chairman; James Langill,
Supervisor and T. G. Mcintyre, Town
Clerk. We endorse at that the Re-
view says in favor Of these gentlemen.
AS was predicted by this paPerin ~,
time has proven that Mr.. Hirzel's adj
ministration as chairman Of the town
board resulted in more substantial
and permanent improvements than
the town has had in any one year
since Villas county was organized.
We believe the election Of MI. Hirzel
as chairman will be for the best in
terests Of the resident tax payers OF
he town and we heartily endorse him
for the position.
MI. Langill he's served the town as
side supervisor and retired from the
office with much credit, He will
doubtless prove strong candidate.
We understand that the friends Of w.
H. Bonner and Jos. Tooley are urging
them to become candidates for side
supervisor. Mr.. Bonner has served
the people satisfactorily in this Office
and would doubtless make strong
candidate if he concludes to make the
run. MI. Tooley has never aspiied to
or held town office. However, he is
one of the best farmers in the county,
an enthusiast over good roads and a
level headed BUSINESS man who is
popular with all classes of citizens.
If he concludes to become a candidate,
he should and doubtless will be elect
ed. F. G. Mcintyre who is mentioned
for Town Clerk has never been can
didate for public Office. He is known
to every voter Of the town as bright
young man of good habits and enjoys
the respect Of the entire community
We do not know whether the pres
ent town officers will be candidates
for reelection or not. Doubtless Fred
Morey will be reelected Town Treas
urer without opposition.

Coek Holds His Seat.

The andercook-Cook contest Tor a
seat in the Assembly was decided in
favor Of Mr.. Cook, who IS a brother OF
ex-conqressman s. a. Cook Of Neenah
The real question decided by the As
sembly was whether or not twelve
ballots which were marked with an \
under the name Of Mckinley should
be counted for Nandercook, the Re-
publican candidate The Attorney
General gave written opinion on the
question of the intent OF the voters
who marked an x under. Mckinley 8
name. and held that such ballots
should be counted for the electors for
president only. The Assembly by a
very large majority sustained the
opinion Of the Attorney General We
are pleased to note that Assemblyman
McGiIl, Of Florence county, formerly
a resident OF tnis city, approved the
report OF the committee, ~his reason
for so doing being that he believed
the persons who marked the ballots
referred to intended to vote the en-
tire Republican ticket.

CIGARETTEfs The CAUSE.
In the Oshkosh case in which a
divorce was granted a wife Tn
account of the husbands excess
i've smoking of cigarettes, the
judge said that cigarette smok-
ing itself was not statutory
ground, but i'll this case it was
responsible for the husbands
condition, which rendered him
incapable of attending to bust
ness and properly supporting
his family. and also SO changed
his moral nature as to make him
heartless and cruel. That sum
marizes the case yery well. -Mad-
ison Democrat
It is orr opinioq that the above
decision of the Judge was a just
one, as the vilest OF habits is Gig
arctic smoking, and if the pres
est legislature passes a bill. pro
hibiting the sale Of coffin nails
it will have ore good mark on
its record that time will never
erase.

Railroad Notes.
Northern Wisconsin DEVELOPMENT.

That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies thenorthern
halt of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardships
and vlcissitudes Of frontier life,
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on ac
count Of exorbitant land prices.
It is in that stage of partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point Of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, goodroads
and other improvements are go
ing IN. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari, kaolin and clay
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity 10 the
settler and the manufacturer.
Land is cheap and can be pur-
chased on easy terms.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the quick and
cheap transportation of it's pro
ducts and as the line penetrates
the very center Of this vast north
ern territory, choice of location
is not confined to any one par
ticular locality.
