as Observation-Disclosures List
Increases.
County Physician J. NJ. Kistler quar-
antined twenty-five cases of smallpox at
Independence yesterday, but. he says the
disease exists only In very mild form
and that it is scarcely more dangerous
than chickenpox. He found children on
whom the rash had appeared attending
school and it is likely that other case will
develop later. One case was found, also,
at Mound City.
Dr. Kistler went out to Maple Plain to-
day to investigate a reputed case of small
pox in that township. He reports that
the number of cases at Hopkins is in
creasing. In the Vonderloh family there
are now seven cases. A girl, Louise Jen-
sen has been stricken with the disease
since the last report. There have been
no deaths and NEST Of the cases are light.
No new cases are reported from Plym-
outh.
Reports to the state board of health
for the first seven months Of 1902 show
1882 cases in the state. Hennepin county
heads the list with 59s cases. There were
IS deaths. s..

Tickets Bought in Scalpers' Offices
Refused for Passage.

Tickets sold in Chicago recently fol
passage to New York and return at q
reduced rate have in them clause that
they are good only for the original
purchaser, and the courts have decided
that in consideration of the reduced
rate such clause is legal. Two pas
sengers were refused passage on Monday
night by the New York Central on tickets
which they had purchased at a scalpine
office, the parties representing them
selves as |. J. and F. j. Livington, but
when required to sign their names they
acknowledged that their names were
not LivingtOn, denied that they had
purchased their tickets at the place
mentioned and with their friends i'm
mediately left the Grand Central Station
to see if they could not get their money
back.

slight reduction at scalping offices and

Charles A. Kading, of Watertown,
will be candidate for district attorney
at the Dodge County Democratic con-
vention this fall. The greater portion
of Mr.. Kading's life was spent in this
vicinity and 1t will remember him in the
selection OF delegates. 1t is customary
to support a home man, but when the
man is as clean cut and as honest as
Charlie Kading this duty becomes q
pleasure to paper. We hope to see
him secure the Observation-Disclosures
Review.
We copy the above comments on this
standing OF one of our representative
citizens most gladly because of our con-
fidence in his fitness to fill the position
for which he is candidate. It goes
without saying that Dodge county will
elect democratic county ticket this
year, and the best that republicans can
hope to do is to try to influence the NOM
ination of frst-class men for each posi-
tion. Mr. Kading ranks among leaders
OF the legal fraternity in Dodge and JEFF
feFsOn counties. Clean, genlemanIy,
we'll yersed in the law and its appica-
tiOn, experienced, and in the prime of
life, Mr.. Kading possesses in q marked
degree the personal and mental attri-
DuteS OF mOO0l puDllC Official. We
hope the good sense OF the democratic
county convention, after due considera-
tiOn of the relative merits of the several
candidates, will arrive at just and safe
conclusion aud nominate Mr.. Kading
for districc attorney, and there will new
er be a cause to regret such action.
Attorney C. A. Kading of Watertown,
has decided to become q candidate for
the democratic nomination for district
attorney OF Dodge county. He is a
young man OF excellent standing as a
lawyer and citizen. He was born in
Dodge county and received a thorough
college education Def ore he enteredfupOn
the study of law. He is a graduate Of
the Valparaiso law school and is right
fully recognized as good lawyer. He
would be popular candidate on the

ROARD'S TRIBUTE
TO H. C. ADAMS,
Ex-Governor to the Agricultural In
terests
The Man For Congress

Strong Claims of MIR Adams to Repre-.
sent This Second District as Ex-
Gov. Hoard Sees the
Situation
Ex-Gov. w. D. Hoard, in Jefferson
County Union: 1t is apparently be-
ginning to dawn upon the minds OF
the people of this Congressional dis
trict that they have some duties as
well as interest in the matter of select
ing man to represent them in con-
gress. 1t has been too much the Gus
tom in recent years, especially while
the district has been normally dem
ocratic, for the great majority of re-
publicaus to give but little attention to
the selection of candidates. In former
avs this district has sent some abled
men to congress, such men, for ex-
ample, as Ben Hopkins of Madison,
Charley Williams OF GAINESVILLE, and
l.. B. Caswell of this city. These were
men of large preliminary experience
in public affairs as we'll as of excep-
tional ability, and as result, they
were among the leaders in congress
and became able, distinguished and
representative representatives of the
capitol district of the state.
Large questions of both domestic
and foreign concern are constantly
coming to the front, and we need men
of large understanding with a COM
plete knowledge of the wants OF the
people and ability TO impress them
selves in committees and on the floor
on the convictions of their fellow
members. The people of this district
should demand that they be ably rep
resented in congress-
Among all the candidates who are
standing for nomination ia this district
there is one man of pre-eminent abil-
ity. We refer to Hon. H. G.. Adams
of Madison. He has been in public
life for years. He has filled the Of
fees of assemblyman, superintendent
OF public property, dairy and food COM
missioner, and in all of them has
served his people with distinguished
ability. He has been identified with
the dairy interests of the state and ma
ton, first, as a practical dairy farmer,
and second as most able promoter
and defender of wise dairy laws ia
both state and nation. He is one OF
the most convincing and eloquent
speakers in the state. His integrity
as business man and particularly in
political matters, has never been cues
toned. In short he is talented, clean
and energetic.
The Union believes the republicans
of the Second district will find it
greatly to their interest, in the COM
ing campaign. to make Mr.. Adams
their nominee for congress.
