A short sketch of the man named for
Member of Assembly, taken from the
Rhinelander Herald.
Matt Stapleton requires no intro
duction to the people of Villas and
Oneida counties. There is hardly a
man in either county who does not
know him personally. In days of adj
versity he worked with the boys in the
woods and more recently in his real
estate and logging business Matt has
widened his acquaintance throughout
the two counties. He is hustler and
if he goes after votes as he does after
business he will be well known through
out Iron county before this campaign
is over.
Matt Stapleton was born in a log ca
bin on Portage county farm in 1856,
the eldest child. When the war broke
out no part of the state supplied umore
men nor supplied them more Quickly
than did the Wisconsin Valley. MATHS
father was one of the first to 90. "He

HIS LIFE IN PERIL.

II just seemed to have gone all to
pieces" writes Alfred Bee, of Welfare,
Tex, "biliousness and lame back had
made life a burden. / couldn't eat or
sleep and felt almost too worn out to
work when I began to use Electric Bit
tiers, but it worked wonders. Now 1

gained in strength and enjoy hard

idea" Before the war was over Matt,
the boy of seven or eight years was
doing the work of a lad of twelve or
fourteen. We read now of how the
burdens fell upon the mother and
children during the war when the
father was far away to the front. 10
the anxiety for the safety OF the hus-
band and father was often added an in
creasing fight to keep the wolf from
the door. During the war Mrs. Staple
tonlmoved to the vicinity of Milwaukee
where she had friends and one OF
Mats early recollections is OF how,
when eight years of age, he hauied
cord wood to Milwaukee with an OK
team. 1t is said that even then when
he was too small to unload the big
sticks from the wagon, he could drive
good bargain for the wood.
When the war was over, the family
returned to Portage county and Matt
soon started out to make his own way
in the world. When about twelve years
old he went to work for E. D. Brown
on his farm smear Stevens Point for
twenty-five cents day and he con-
tinued to work for MIR. Brown, except
as he attended school, until he was re-
ceiving 1925 month. During this
time he acquired a common school edu-
cation, had graduated from a Milwau
kee business college, and had laid up
some money. He now started logging
for himself, with the result that in 1889
he was caught by a bad winter and
found himself in the spring without a
dollar and with several thousand dol
| IRIS of indebtedness. In this condition
he moved to Rhinelander in 1890 and
engaged in business in logging and in
real estate and soon began to get ahead
again. In the twelve years he has
been here he has paid up his old debts
and has accumulated a comfortable
amount of property.
Matt was one of the first TO realize
soon rise in value and he acquired con-
siderable tracts while they were cheap.
Many of these could be sold for ten
times what they cost him. Several
thousand acres of these lands are in
each of the counties composing this
assembly district. 1t is doubtful if the
party could have found another candi-
date whose business interests SO cover
the district.
Mr.. Stapleton is loyal and lifelong
Democrat. He has been delegate to
several state conventions but has never
been candidate for office. He is a
member of the M. w. A., G. K. of Wis.
and A. o. II. orders, and is a public
spirited citizen.
The Republican majority four years
ago in the counties now forming our
assembly district was IT'S. Matt will
more than wipe that out this fall

LOOK OUT FOR FEVER.

Biliousness and liver disorders at
this season may be prevented by cleans
ing the system with DeWitt's Little
Early Risers. These famous little pills
do not grippe. They move the bowels
gently, but copiously, and by reason of
tonic properties, give tone and strength
to the glands. F. Beardsley.

Cured by
Harm Clocks

THIS il the story of the reforma-
ton OF city hall politician. It
involves two political jobs, loving
wife, an unfortunate taste for stimu-
lsnts and eight alarm clocks. Posi-
bly,, also it may servo az suggestion
for the successful treatment OF other
dipsomaniacs.

tal ward politician on the democratic
side Of the house. AS q reward for
his great activity In the politics of
the ward he has been given two Jobs,
one a day and the other a night job.
The duties OF neither of the positions
are at oil combining. At nine o'clock
in the morning he is expected to

day job" is connected and report for
the purpose of getting his name on the
pay roll for that day.
That ends bis necessary labor for
the day until five o'clock in the after
noon, when he appears at another Of

free TO do as he pleases until the
next morning.
Consequently he has much leisure
time on his hands. and he fell Into
the habit Of spending most of it in
the company Of other politicians,
drinking and playing cards about vari-
Gus semi-politieal saloons. As result
he soon became sad victim to LIQUOR.
much to the sorrow and disgust Of his
devoted wife. Presently he reached
the stage where, after reporting for
work in the morning, he would in the
next hour or two absorb so much lio-
uor that he was ready to go home and
to bed until duty called again at five
O'Clock. In order that he might be
sure to wake up at the proper hour
he secured an alarm clock which WAS
