THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP

Speaking of Judge Clementson,
the editor continues: His long
career as a judge has greatly en-
deared him to the people. His
honor, integrity and ability COM
mands the highest respect wherever
he has presided upon the bench,
and this includes the entire state.
His long and valuable experience
has placed him we'll at the head of
the circuit judges of the state. For
years he has been in almost con-
slant demand to preside at i'm
pOrtant cases outside the district
where other than local judges were
required to sit Such compliments
TO the wisdom of his choice in the
past are profound arguments to
the elector who conscientiOusly de-
sires the best possible conditions for
the public welfare. We lake great
pleasure in most heartily endorsing
him for reelection, and confidently
predict that the electorate will not
depart from the ways that have in
variably IN the PAST led to such
desirable results. The judicial
ticket at the April election this
year should not be overlooked. It
is an important one in this district
az we then vote for both circuit
judge and an associate justice of
the Supreme Court. Judge Glenn
entson's name will be found as a
candidate for Ci1cuit Judge. All
should give him a note. He has
earned it and the people deserve it. !"

John Schneider, a we'll known
and highly esteemed farmer of Fen
nimore, died last week, victim of
pneumonia, that fatal disease which
has removed SO many good people

was i'll but short time and the out
come was not feared by members of
the family and his many friends
until brief time before his demse.
Deceased held many responsible
positions in recent years and was a
valued member of the county board
of supervisors for several terms.
The Herald extends the sympathy
of this community to the bereaved
family.
No new developments in the
mines about here the past few days,
although enthusiasm is on the in
crease.

The high price of lumber induces
all farmers having a piece of timber

Mrs. R. Meyer, Jr., Stricken.

Mrs. Richard Meyer, Jr., was
stricken with a stroke of paralysis
early Monday morning and her con-
dition for a time was the cause of
apprehension on part of the family
and friends.
Mr.. Meyer was in Milwaukee and
was summoned home, as was also
the son Frank, a student at Beloit
college.
Mrs. Meyer was enjoying her
usual health up to few moments
previous to the sudden illness.
At this writing her condition is
much improved, which the innum-
cradle friends of the family will be
pleased to hear.

An exchange says the ''e' is the
most unfortunate letter in the Eng
fish alphabet, because it lis always
out of cash, forever IN debt, never
out of danger, and in hell all the
time" Our exchange forgets that
the aforesaid letter is never in war
and always in peace. 1t is the
beginning of existence, the COM
mencement Of ease and the end of
trouble. Without it there would
be no meat, no life and no heaven.

Quite as exciting, and consider
ably more unitarian than the IL
linois wolf drive, is the new Saline
county sport of rat killing, in which
the farmers of township divide
into competitive squads and go
after the rodents for a fortnight
with anything that is deadly. By
latest returns the morality has aver
aged about 5000 to the township,
and the corn reserved in the cribs
for live stock other than rats is cor
respondinglv increased. This me-
thod is obviously better than that
of the Pied Piper, since there is no
after piping away of the children.
~
To large extent the papers of a
town are responsible for the good
name of the town. Nearly every
city contains Objectionable features,
at least in the estimation of some
of It's citizens, but the wisdom
Of condemning ourselves in the eyes
of the world every time something
or some condition arises to our in
dividual dislike is very questionable.
To run down our own city is poor
policy, rather had we better stand
up for our town, even though con-
ditlOns, socially and otherwise, be
not to our liking. 1t is not neces-
sary that we close our eyes to these
conditions, rather that we work
quietly to their betterment.

A short time ago burial took
place at sea from one of His Ma
jesty'S cruisers. AS there was no
lead with the stores, large pieces of
coal were attached to the body in
their place. All the crew were
summoned on the quarter deck for
the burial. Just as the body was
being lowered Pat burst out laugh
ing. Next morning the chaplain
sent for Pat and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION Of his laughter at such a
solemn time. "Sure, now" replied
Pat, 'Oi've heerd o. many a wan
goin' below, but Olive niver seen
wan take his coal with him afore."
