Burlington, Nov. IL. Among the
we'll known democratic Office holders
to fall by the way in the election Tues
day. was Squire William Huneke OF
this city. He will be sadly missed
from his accustomed office especially
by the clan of young folks who seek
the Justice shop in matters of matri-
mony. For Squire" Huneke has be-
come popularity known as the Marry
ing Squire. Few Justices of the peace
have ever married more people than
Squire" Huneke.
Speaking of his busy life, in which
he has united SO many people, Squire"
Huneke said yesterday that he had
married 612 couples altogether, as far
as he has kept any record. There are
undoubtedly a few more than this
number.
This year the total number of cou-
pies married by him are 66, while the
total for 1903 was 70 couples. He has
till January first to serve in office and
as it will take only seven more couples
to come up to last years record, it
will undoubtedly reach, If not go above
the record of last year.
THE most number Of people ] ever
married on any one day." says the
squire" was back in 1898. the worlds
fair year, when one day l married SIX
couples. That was the biggest days
work / ever did in marrying people.
"One of my oldest experiences in the
marrying line was during one week
last January, when the marriage IL
censes presented to me by the couples
were numbered consecutively IA, is. 16,
II and IS. The largest crowd ever at
tending a wedding at which l officiated
was on last Labor day, when ! mar
ried Otto Cans of this city, and Miss
Ida Cooper, of TT. Madison, IN a pub
lie wedding at Ebner's gardens, the
evening of September s. But frequent-
ly I have married couples before very
large crowds when Fischer's full or
chestra furnished the music and there
was a general good time"
Squire" Huneke Will have been

B. R. SHERMAN DEAD
Former Governor of Iowa Died at Vim
ton Friday Night After Lingering
illness,

Vinton, Nov. 12.-Ex-Governor Bur-
en- r. Sherman died at his home here
last night at o'clock, after a long ILL.,
ness aged 6S years.
Sketch of His Life.
Buren, r. Sherman was the eleventh
governor Of Iowa. He was born in
Ontario county, New York, in 1886,
and came from sturdy English stock.
He received his academic education
at Elmira, in his native state, and
while serving as governor of Iowa he
was honored with the degree Of doctor
Of laws by its state university.
Mr.. Sherman located in Iowa in 1856,
first residing In Tama county, and four
years later moving to Benton county.
He studied law, was admitted to the
bar in 1853, and was Just beginning to
reap the rewards of years of toll and
sacrifice in his profession when the
war broke out, and he responded to
the call for volunteers. He enlisted IN
Company G, of the Thirteenth Iowa in
fantry, under Captain John Shane, and
his first colonel was the courageous
M. M. Croker, whose name has been
prominent in the military records of
the state. Mr.. Sherman was promoted
to the second lieutenancy Of Company
e, and while serving In that capacity
at the battle Of Shiloh, was seriously
wounded, April 6, 1862. While in the
hospital he was promoted to the cap
taincy of his company, and served in
that capacity until just before the sur
render of Vicksburg, when, by reason
Of wounds and the weakened condition
Of his health, he reluctantly resigned
from the service, and returned to his
home.
Mr.. Sherman had varied prepara-
| ton for public affairs before entering
upon his duties as governor. For a
number of years he was clerk Of the
district court of Benton county, and for
three terms served as auditor of state,
from 1875 to 1881, being first elected
governor of the state while yet serving
| in the capacity of auditor. His knowl-
edge of law, and his long service in
public life, had given him a wide
| knowledge of state affairs, and had
well fitted him for the higher duties
of the chief executive.
| OF Governor Sherman's services to
the state, distinguished citizen of
Iowa writes:
"As governor his messages show in
innate acquaintance with the affairs
OF state, his recommendation always be-
ing on the side of economy and good
government, and his every act giving
evidence of devotion to the welfare OF
4 the public and OF his intense desire
for the integrity of public officials and
the upbuilding of the highest inter-
ests of the commonwealth"
Governor Sherman lived at Vinton
having resided in Benton county ever
since 1859, except while living at Des
Moines in the capacity Of state off,
cial While his health has never been
vigorous since retiring from the army
In 1853, he yet attained the ripe age
of IS, and took an active interest In
his personal affairs and in the affairs
of his community and state to the very
| and
