Election Notes.

Lenroot's majority is around Is, 600.
Ladysmith polled 514 votes, 153 in the
First ward, 144 in the Second and 2l|
in the Third
Of PIT votes polled in the Third ward
of Ladysmith less than one-fourth were
straight" tickets.
J. w. Thomas was elected state SEN
ator and Arnt Erickson will represent
this district in the Assembly.
To the careless observer it might
seem that the people of Rusk county do
not want the laws enforced. But such
is not the case; the voters are simply
not vet awake to the situation.
Although Rusk county did not go
democratic (as was threatened, Bryan
rolled up 582 votes-145 in Ladysmlth
Konkel however, only received l23 IN
Ladysmith and sos in the county.
"'Uncle Joe" Cannon, against whom
the churches of the country put up such
a violent protest, was reelected ln his
Illinois district by 5000 majority. How
ever, numerous changes in other Con-
gressional districts over the country
may endanger his seat as speaker. His
friend Hepburn of Iowa was defeated
by a democrat.
J. w. Carow closed his speech max
ing campaign at Maple Center Monday
night. He made II speeches over the
county, and although he lost out in the
election he has made many friends.
His clean cut campaign methods and
convincing argument established his
ability as a lawyer. These were the
first campaign speeches Mr.. Carow ever
made.

OLD SETTLER
DIES SUDDENLY
Eli Miller of the Town OF Washington
Passed Away Yesterday at
Stephenson Hospital

Eli Miller of the town of Washing
ton, old soldier and old settler, died
suddenly at the Stephenson Hospital
in this city Wednesday, November a,
aged 68 years, months and days.
Cause of death was pneumonia and
hemorrhage.
Mr.. Miller arrived here Monday from
his home on a business trip. When
getting off the train he seemed weak
and scarcely able to stand. A friend
asked him to go and sit down in the
waiting room and rest for a while,
but with that indomnitable pluck which
always carried him through, he re-
piled ne was just short of breath and
would be all right in little while. He
went to hotel and, not getting any
better. was taken to hospital, where
he passed away Wednesday night.
He leaves widow, six sons and two
daughters to mourn his death, George,
N. D., Jacob, John, Ben, Welton, May
and Ven Ellen.
Deceased was born in Indiana, during
the war enlisted, serving through the
rebellion. He moved to what is now
the town of Washington, Rusk county,
IA years ago, when the country around
him was virgin forest. From that he
had made himself home, paid for his
land, raised family of boys and girls
that have the esteem Of their acquaint-
ances, and left the name of being a
man of integrity. w h t more is
necessary for a sane man to aspire to?
Comrade Miller has answered his last
roll call and gone to join that large car
avan, whose numbers are added to
daily and the last of which will soon
join him.
The remains were taken to Bruce
today.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES
HIGH SCHOOL.

High school scholars received their
report cards this week. The teachers
have noticed that the report cards come

accounted for?
The Seniors have had several class
meetings lately. They have decided on
their play, and some of the characters
have been assigeed to the different
scholars.
The rules in school are more strict than
ever. The scholars are not permitted
to whisper or carry on any communlca-
tion in school hours or after half past
eight in the morning or after one O'Clock
in the afternoon. If any communication
is necessary it must be carried on before
the time stated above.
There will be short program here the
coming Friday. Everybody is invited
to come and hear it.
We must say we are proud of our
High School Basket Ball team. We
hope they will always be as successful
in all their games as they were in their
opening game of the season, last Thurs
day night. The city team found them
certainly more than their match. There
is one player in the High School team
that keeps his place while playing
basketball better than he does at any
other time.

received the highest marks.
