While Governor Davidson was
touring Wisconsin this week. with
an automobile, covering fifty or
sixty miles and making four or five
speeches a day, Mr.. Bryan was
touring Indiana with trolley car,
covering between 200 and 800 miles
and speaking in eight or ten cities. |
The trolley beats the chug-wagon
for electioneering purposes.
Miss Ella, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Domer, died at the
family residence Tuesday afternoon
after a brief illness of typhoid-pneu-
monia. Funeral was held Thurs
day at the M. E. church, Rev.
Brown officiating, and was largely
attended. Deceased was held in
high esteem by a large circle of
acquaintance, and her untlmely
demise is felt in more than the
home circle.
Halloween pranks were perpe-
trated about as usual in Lancaster
Wednesday eve. The worst depreda-
ton, and one which the perpe-
traitors of should suffer for if their
identity is discovered, is the damages
to the stone wall fence at the
Nathan residence in the first ward.
Playful pranks and the upturning
of out houses, ect., may pass with
out comment, but wanton destruc-
ton of property is deserving of
punishment.
Adjustment of the practice of
granting clergyment half-fare per-
mits is a decision reached by the
passenger traffic officials in the
central passenger territory, the same
to take effect after January 1, 1902.
At the meeting of the association
the proposition came up aud was
continued until the November meet
ing, when the rate probably will be
advanced from 1 to Ii cents a mile
with the understanding that the
arrangement will be discontinued
at the end of the year.
John Heiliger, rural mail car
rier on Route 4, took a load of lum-
ber, carpenter tools, spade and
shovel out with him yesterday to
patch up the boxes of patrons pre-
paratorv to winter. Many of them
are broken, some are down entirely,
others are too far away from the
road, etc. John became tired of
calling the attention of the owners
to tie fact and so concluded to be a
good samaritan and fix them up
himself, His efforts should be re-
warded substantially about Christ
mas time.

the Republican nominee for at
torney general in Nebraska, Is a
Fennimore boy and was born there
May %, 1860. His father, Jacob |
Thompson, used to live on the John
Dillon farm north of town. Mr..
Thompson lost both his parents
when but a mere lad, his mother
meeting a tragic death in a run
away near the old rock house on
the old Munns place at the head of
Crooked Creek. A half brother,
Thos E. Thompson, of Fennimore,
was also accidentally killed a few
years ago by tree that he was
chopping down, falling on him and
crushing out his life. Mr.. Thomp-
son lives at Central City, Nebraska,
and is leading lawyer of that
state. Fenn1more is proud of the

If you have not gathered mp,
cleaned and properly housed your
farming implements and protected
them from the rust and weather,
do so at once, before the snow
comes on. The total amount of the
farmers investment in machinery
is necessarily large. and it is the
part of prudence for him to take
good care of it. In q machine shop
or factory every piece of machinery
is in use day after day. The farmer
is obliged to buy and keep in repair
a dozen machines which he has use
for only few days out of the year.
He runs his moving machine per-
haps two weeks altogether; his
binder half that time, his hay
tredder perhaps three days all told.
During the remainder of the year
it is necessary to care for and prop
