The water committee has Just re-
turned from their Silverton trip. and
report things up that way to be in
very bad shape.
There is sign CITY Dumping
Ground on the bank of the Animas
river in one place. The committee are
now looking over the Hermosa and
Cascade rivers. but will have to get an
engineer and find out costs and make
estimates before they make their re-
port The cost of getting water from
the Hermosa would be very great as
most of 1t is taken in water rights
The probability IL that the Cascade
will be the river chosen for the water
supply of Durango, though this also
will cost considerable, as there are
hard places through which to lay
pipes.
Alderman Naeglin of the committee
says the dumping ground Mt Silver
ton beggars description of filth and
nauseating disease breeding material.

crime, was called, a plea of abate-
ment was entered by the attorneys
for the defence, The same tbing
occurred ia the case Of the state
against PAU Reno, also charged
with a da8tardly crime. Judge Par
ISL ordered the sheriff to keep close
tab on Rcro, and new warrant
was secured by District Attorney
Mcleod, but before it could be

this case justice has likely miscraried

DEMOCRATS NOMINATE.
Their County Ticket Placed in tic Field
last Friday Night

Their County Ticket Placed in ffse Field
last Friday Night
After numerous adjournments and
many conferences the democrats Of
Bayfield, county finally succeededin
nominating their county ticket last
Friday night. The attempt of GER
tain sore head republicans to split
up the ticket. and to get some of the
disgruntled repu blican5 on the tic
ket, was very properly turned down
by the delegates. While it does not
appear at all certain that all Of the
nominees are democrats, as some Of
them have always voted in republi-
can caucuses, yet the leaders Of the
democracy insist that Chat makes no
difference-you bet they are demo
Gratis, and we suppose their word
will have to be taken for it. Judge
Warden, who has conscientiouslv
and persistently held Office with
hardly a break since he came to Bay
field county, is the nominee for
sheriff. The Judge belongs to the
Bourbon democracy, and has always
stuck to the democratic principles
through thick and thin, through all
kinds of weather, and under all con
ditions. His record is such that he
should have all the democratic votes,
aud he should have 40 others. w:
j. Maitland, of this city. is the nomi-
nee for county clerk; Thomas O.
Toole, dyed IN the wool democrat
from Iron River, who always oc-
cupies a place on the democuatic
ticket, is the nominee for treasurer:
James @. Daily, of Port Wing, has
been named for Clerk Of the Courts:
Attorney John Walsh. of this CITY.
is nominee for District Attorney.
Hans Ambly, also of this city, is the
the nominee for register Of deeds; j.
w. Tarter, of Iron River, coroner;
Alex Welcome, Of Mason, for sur
veyor. No nomination was made for
county superintendent of schools
Fred Terill is chairman Of the copn-
ty committee.

The persistent demand that
mas gone upall through Wiscon-
sin for the past ten years that
the young men should be recog-
nized in politics, las borne fruit,
end throughout the state today,
some Of the best and most capa-
BILE Office holders, and men who
form the backbone of therepubli-
can party are young men. To
day they furnish the energy,
push and activity Of the party,
and their work is seen in the
betterment Of political conditions
everywhere. There is always an
element in every community that
seems determined to keep down
the ambitious young men, and
who are willing that the young
fellows" should help hustle the
votes ana advance the party S in
terests. but when it comes to a
dis tribution of the plumbs and
rewards for good party service,
the young man is asked to take
back seat. Bayfield, county is
one of the counties that several
years ago took the lead in recog-
nizing young men. One of the
most enefgeticyoung republicans
oI til9 cCutity eau Is .hc nominee
OF his party this year for the i'm
portant place Of county clerk.
Mr. Oscar has been active in po-
litical matters for several years,
but never has been honored by a
public position. He has made
many political speeches for his
party, and is. actose reasoner and
fueet speaker. Among the
young fellows" he has been
considered a leader for several
years. AS a member Of the
party his Judgment has always
been solicited by other party
leaders. He is young man,
married, and a book keeper by
| profession, having held a position
for the past two years with the
Northwestern Fuel Company Of
| this city. Formerly he was con-
nected with the Bayfield, County
Bank. His business training has
peculiarly fitted him for the posi-
ton to which he has been nomi-
mated by the republicans of Bay
field county. It certainly is a
compliment that he should have
/ had the united and solid support
/ Of all the delegates from his home
city in discriminating convention.
Nels has spent nearly all his life
! in Washburn, and has been edu-
Gated in our public schools He
lis a Scandinavian-American; has
q pleasing personality, is a good
/ public speaker, is a thorough re
publican-and there is. no more
deserving young republican in
Bayfield, county than he. His
election by a big majority is look-
ed upon as q certainty. There
are plenty of people in Bayfield,
county who believe in giving the
young man a chance, " as a sort
Of general principle, and these
people all have their coats off to
help to secure a big vote for Nels
| M. Oscar. There is no question
among those who know him bat
that he will make a first-class
public official. He possesses
every qualification that is needed
for the position, and no person
will make any mistake in voting
for him.

FIJI, Musical Service at First Conversational
Church.

Two years ago series of SUNDAY
e. ming musical services for the winter
W" started at the First Congregational
cllrch by 4. A. Taylor. the musical
I'll ectOr. The aim was to give the
people an opportunity for the enjoy
mcnt of high class music. That his
aim was right and his efforts appre-
cIated has been evident from the
complete success of these services.
The general interest in them has
grown, until now. they are eagerly
anticipated and enjoyed by all who
are fortunate enough to make use of
the privilege. They have, in fact,
passed beyond the experiment stage
and have become an established
institution for the encouragement and
cultivation of love of noble music.
The first of the third series for tue
coming winter was given on Sunday
last. and though the weather was
anything but favorable, yet the church
was crowded with a very attentive
and appreciative audience. This
speaks well for our city and indicates
that music will become a more i'm
portant feature of our city life in the
future, that greater attention will be
given to it, and that it will be more
largely used as an educative and retin-
ing Influence. The program Of last
Sunday evening was of the same fine
quality as those in the past, the chorus
Of voices being even superior. From
Miss PhilleO the accomplished &C
companiSt there is in every member
OF the choir an evident love of music
ana enthusiasm for it which makes
these services SO effective. We con-
graduate Mr.. Taylor and his devoted
co-workers on the growing interest in
these services, and thank them heartily
for the good work they are doing.
Rev. Shaw, who always speaks on
these occasions on a musical theme
gave an address on "The Charm and
Power of Music"
