Death of William Sullivan.

William Sullivan, of the firm of Sulli-
van & Lineau of Stoughton, passed away
Sunday morning at 2:15 of consumption
after lingering illness covering nearly
four years. He first suffered with an
attack of pleurisy, and his health con-
tinued to fail thereafter. He is the only
one of the Sullivan family to die of tu-
berculosis, and it is thought that the I'M
healthy life of liveryman whereby he
was exposed to all sorts of conditions
and of weather brought on the ailment.
Mr.. Sullivan was AZ years old. He was
born in Cooksville, and went into bust
ness in Stoughton three years ago. He
leaves wife and three children; the
youngest of whom is son of s years;
three sisters, Mrs. Anderson, Cooksville
Mrs. Lineau and Mrs. d. J. Mccarthy,
Stoughton; and one brother, John Sulli-
van of Dunkirk. Deceased belonged to
the Woodman, in which he carried life
insurance policy of $1,000, and to the
Royal Neighbors.
FuDeral services were held on Tues
day from the home in Stoughton and at
the Catholic church in Porter, conduct
ed by Rev. J. E. Harlin.

The funeral of Maj. lockwood and his
wife was held in GAINESVILLE Tuesday.
The bodies were laid at rest beside the
grave of daughter, who died in 1882
while Maj lockwood was editor of the
GAINESVILLE Recorder. The remains were
accompanied from Portage by members
of the Elk lodge and the funeral rites
were performed by J. w. Wells, the ex-
allied ruler of that lodge. A large funeral
party from Portage accompanied the re-
mains and the local G.. A. r. post met

The German Picnic.

The picnic and races Wednesday given
by the Young Ladies Society of the
German Lutheran church, was decided
success. The day was an ideal one for
such an entertainment and all the feat
ures planned and advertised were carried
out to the letter. 1t was the first at
tempt of the young ladies to give a pic
mic on so large a scale and their success
is gratifying not only to themselves but
to all their friends. The proceeds of the
day amounted to something over 5000
from all sources, and it is estimated that
the society will have $3.50 to the good
after all expenses are paid. This money
goes into the treasury of the society and
is used for the benefit of the church, at
the dictation of the members. Ever
since the organization of the society, the
German Lutheran church has on many
occasions received financial aid in very
liberal proportions.
The first feature at the Driving Park
was the ball game in the forenoon be-
tween Edgerton and Cambridge, the
Cambridge boys winning by score of
s to 6.
In the afternoon the horse races were
the main attraction and of these the
slow class proved the greatest, with the
2:4O class as second. Conway's horses,
Qusen Trot and Grandma, both tracked
in condition, were given close rubs by
what are termed "green horses" In the
three minute class Tom Westlake's
Agnes Wilkes gave them all surprise,
and had she been thoroughly worked
out the prevailing opinion is that the
race would have been hers. The races
were all good and every one was satified
with what they saw for their money.
