as was true to a large degree in the
case of the deceased chief Justice, sound
judgment and saving common sense,
the man possessing these attributes
will be given the confidence of his
fellow men and they will delight to
honor him.
This was emphatically shown in the
case of Orsamus Cole. Two years
after coming to Wisconsin he was
elected one of the five members from
Grant county to the convention that
met at Madison in December, 1047,
to frame the constitution for the
state of Wisconsin about to be born
into the Union. In the fall of 1040,
at the first general election held after
Wisconsin became a state he was
elected to congress. Two years after
his term as member of congress eX-
pired he was the candidate upon the
Wing state ticket for attorney gen.
eral, and less than two years there
after he was nominated for associate
Judge of this court and elected over
Samuel Crawford who had the
prestige of already having a
seat upon this bench. Of Chief
Justice Cole it was literally true that
in every instance it was the office
that sought the man. That he was
called upon by his district and the
state within ten years after coming
to Wisconsin to fill these several high
offices is the strongest evidence of his
worth and of it's appreciation by the
people. In June, 1855, at the age of
thirty-six he removed to Madison
to enter upon the important
duties of judge of this court
The people of his county were justly
proud Of his preferment, but lost him
as citizen with sincere regret. He
left behind him none but friends. No
words but words of commentator
were spoken of him. He had no enc

day was decidedly disheartenilg
to everyone and especially to the

went on apace and by evening
everything was in readiness. The
weather man continued the ex-
hibition of his relentless grudge
during the night but Old Sol broke
through the clouds in the early
morn and looked down all smiles.
Owing to the muddy roads the
attendance Thursday was not
large, people from the country
preferring to wait till the last day.

in from all directions early and by

assembled. The paid admissions

ducts of farm, shop and household

were Joeckel Bros, Baxter &
Draper, j. Schreiner & Sons, Wat
ton Studio, Lancaster Lumber Co.,
Nathan Grocery Co., The Hub,
Roberts & Groenier and w. S.
Lathrop, who showed creditable
displays. Then there were in
dividual exhibitors to the number
of three score or more whose in
terest taken in the attractiveness
of the art hall is worthy of men
ton.
The live stock exhibit was COM
plete in every class. Highly bred
horses, sleek cattle, all breeds of
sheep and swine filled every avail
able stall and pen on the grounds
and competition for the liberal
premiums was close.
The show Of poultry was up to
the usual high standard of excel
lence, nd that of grain, seeds and
vegetables, dairy and culinary
was of merit unsurpassed at any
previous fair held in this section
of the state.

THE GOVERNORS SPEECH.

Gov. R. M. LaFollette came from
Fennimore and arrived at 1915. He
was taken to the grounds and spoke
for an hour and half on the abuse S
railroads are heaping upon citizens
of Wisconsin. Ex-senator Baxter
introduced the executive in a nicely
worded address and a majority of
the people on the grounds during
the morning hour heard the speech.
1t is not necessary to comment up
on the governors address, as his re-
marks were in substance the same
as has been reported from all corn
ers of the state for three months past.
