at times there were some spirited
tiltS, yet underneath it all there
seemed to flow steady stream of
harmony and friendlineSS. Everyone
appeared to have the welfare Of the
party at heart and acted accordingly.
The old time leaders found many new
:. faces in the convention and were not
little gratitied to welcome some of
the prominent Democrats who had
recently sought shelter within the
safe folds of the Republican party.
1t was understood before the con-
yentiOn met that the present efficient
county officers. elected two years ago
on the Republican ticket, would be
rcnOminated without opposition.
And the expected happened. The
delegates We'd with one another to
get the opportunity to nominate and
second the nomination of these candi-
dates. The secretary in every case
had the pleasure to cast the unanimous
ballot OF the convention for them.
The greatest interest centered upon
the contests for the nomination of
sheriff and superintendent Of schools.
Every candidate for these positions
had their champions, and aS there
were five good men looking for the
sheriff's Office and three, for the
superintendent'S office it can be easily
seen'that this war of giants served to
give both the delegates and spectators
something to think and talk about.
The eight candidates had worked
hard during the past three weeks
Then, too, they were almost all equally
well qualified for the place they sought.
The delegates felt that. 1T was too
bad they could not all be nominated. "
The whole question of the choice of
candidates for the nominations Of
sheriff and superintendent centered
upon one pOint-the location of the
man. The caucus held at o'clock in
the afternoon made it appa rent, how
ever, that the fight for sheriff would
be between Lester and Ebbe, and for
superintendent Of schools, between
Falch and Morris. 1t was the belief
of many that the sheriff should go to
MarShfeld and the superintendent to
Arpin, as the southern part of the

On the west bank of the Wisconsin
river, in the city of Grand Rapids,
Wood county. Wisconsin, was recently
ereCUed one of the haudSOmeSt resi-
denceS in the Wisconsin river valley,
the property Of Hon. T. E. Nash. 1t
occupies one of the prettieSt locations
for an ideal home. 1t has more the
appearance of a 'chatteau' or castle
than private residence, on account
Of it's magnitude and English style of
architecture. II is centrally located
upon five acre tract Of land with a
gradual slope from the building to the
rivers edge. The grounds are beauti-
fully laid out and arranged, with
driveway, lawn tennis court, beautiful
flower and vegetable gardens. The
house faces the east and 0ver.OOkS
the Wisconsin river with its numer-
Gus islands and beautiful shores. The
grounds are enclosed by a massive,
rustic stone wall fence which is in
itself piece of artistic masonry, with
slight curves at the front entrance
and driveway and with immense
pillars at either end of the wall, and

essential to happiness, beautiful
home always adds to the comfort of
its occupants and aids greatly in max

The home has been the great
civilizer of the world. 1t is more
than the family dwelling; it is the

true patriotism is one Of the first and
most important characteristics in the
up-building Of the nation.
We believe it was this idea that
encouraged Mr.. Nash to eXpend the
money necessary to erect this hand

That the public services which Hon.
John c.. SpOOner has rendered the
nation and the Republican party in
the Senate of the United States, CON
stitute demand upon the people Of
the State OF Wisconsin to return him
to the position he now holds with so
much credit to himself and renOwn to
the State that he represents.
And We sincerely regret that Cir
cumStanceS have arisen which have
occaSiOned differences among Repubi-
cans, as to whether continued service
by Senator SpOoner in his present
position can and ought to he secured.
We proudly recognize in him states
man of ability. whose pre-eminent
services in the work of moulding and
perfeCting important national legSla-
tion, and ill the rghtful adjustment
of new and important questions of
national and international concern,
have brought to him enduring fame,
and to Wisconsin lasting honor We
earnestly invite him to reconsider his
purpose, hcret Ofore publicly expressed,
to retire from the Senate at the close
Of his present term and to declare his
willingness to accept a reelection as

That we further believe in fairness

We, therefore, further instruct the

NATIONAL MILITARY PARK.


Washington, Dec. 23.-In his annual
report to the secretary Of war Gen.
H. V. Boynton, chairman of the
Chickamauga and Chattanooga Ma
tional Military park commission,
speaking Of the reports which have
found currency from time to time
impugning the healthfulness of the
park, says: I'm view of the sensa-
tional reports charging that the park
is an unhealthful tract, it is proper
to say that during the past year it
has been free from serious disease
and has fully maintained its long
record before the war with Spain and
for the period subsequent to that
time for exceptional healthfulness."
The commission asks an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 for the ensuing year,
stating that hereafter there will be
no further necessity for appropria-
tions for the work Of establishing the
park beyond those required for its
maintenance and this will not ex.
coed 100000 per annum.
