DISCOVER LETTER FROM 1850.
Document to Governor of Wisconsin Rec
ommending Jeremiah NJ. Rusk.


y letter to the governor of Wiscon-
sin, recommending jeremiah NJ. Rusk
for the appointment to the Office of coro-
ner of Bad AK county. has just been
discovered by Col. O. G.. Mmson while
rummaging i'll the archives of the eXecu-
tive office at Madison. The old records
OF the department are being overhauled
ana classified i'll orderly manner, and
this process has brought to light many
old letters and documents of interest
concerning times of which little is now
remembered.
This interesting letter is yellow with
age. 1t was written in 1859 by j. A.
Somerby, editor of the Vernon County
censor; which paper is now owned by
Col. Munson. Mr.. SomCrby was the
first editor of Bad AK county, which
was afterwards changed to Vernon
county. The letter is in reply to one by
GOV. Alexander w Randall in which
the governor had asked regarding some
person suitable to be appointed ms coro-
ner OF Bad AK county to fill a vacancy.
MI Somerby replied that he knew of
a young man eminently fitted for the
office, jeremiah NJ. Rusk. He praised
the proposed coroner saying that he was
OF good character ami reputation and Il
man of known integrity. Furthermore.
MIR. Rusk was the Republican candidate
for the office ut the previous election,
and was chosen by the people for the
place, but failed to qualify in season,
thereby creating the vacancy.
The letter strongly urged the appoint
ment of Mr.. Rusk without delay. Filed
away with this letter in the archives was
formal communication from John Il,
CaSson, clerk of the circuit court of Bad
AK county, informing the governor of
the existence of the vacancy III the office
Of coroner There seems to have existed
in those wild frontier days some press
ing need for the services of coroner. as
Clerk CaSsOn appended to the formal no.
tice note III which he said: PLEASE
make this appointment without delay at
your earliest convenience"
Mr.. Casson later went to the Civil
war in Col. Rusk's celebrated Twenty
fifth Wisconsin. served through the war
and came home as captain. He be-
came county clerk of Bad AK county
and served in that Office continuously for
twenty-seven years. until he died. He
was Il brother of Col. Henry Casson of
Madison, formerly secretary of state
and now sergeant-at-arms of the nation
al House of Representatives
Col. MunSon remarks upon this Incl
dent as the meagcr beginning of Il great
man in politics. Mr.. Rusk having become
governor of the state for three terms,
member of Congress and secretary of
agriculture in the cabinet of the Presi-
dent of the United States.

Constant care both in regard to
backing and fire is the price to be
paid by every housewife if she would
have nice looking range The better
grades of stove polish will not burn
off except the range is allowed to be-
come red hot. In most cases this is a
waste of fuel and careful and judicious
use of the hampers. OF course where a
range is used all day under what might
be called forced draft it will require
backing every other day, but under
ordinary circumstances twice a week
should be ample.
