SPRING ELECTION
AGAIN APPROACHING
VIII Take Place on Tuesday
April Sixth.
Supreme Judge, County Judge, County
Supt. Supervisors, Aldermen and
Justices to be Elected.

Tie spring election is again near
at hand, April 9th being the date
therefor, yet one hears but little said
as to prospective candidates. Follow
ing so closely upon the heels of the
national campaign and with the
senatorial contest which has just end
ed centering the attention of the
public in Things political, not much
attention has been paid or thought
given to the selections to be made
this spring.
There will be a justice of the
supreme court elected to succeed John
Barnes, elected to a vacancy last
spring. AT present it looks as though
Mr.. Barnes will succeed himself
without opposition.
For the Office of state superinten-
dent, which is to be voted upon this
spring, there will be lively contest,
with several candidates in the field.
G. P. Curey, the present incumbent.
L. W. Hood of Neillsville, rural
school inspector, and Supt. Hooper, of
Ashland, being avowed candidates
Mr.. Wood received a nice endorse
ment at the hands of Grant county
teachers at the county convention of
school boards held here last November.
For the position of county judge it
does not appear that there will be any
opposition to Judge Goodsell. He is
a popular and capable man for the
position and no other candidate has
appeared against him, so that be will
probably be reelected without any
contest.
The same situation pertains to the
election of county superintendent of
schools. Supt. J. G. Brockert has
made a splendid record during his in
cumbency of this Office. He is a man
OF advanced ideas in educational
affairs, an untirIng worker and has
proven himself one of the most
efficient county superintendent in the
state. No candidate will appear
against him, so he also will have a
walk away.
Lancaster will not elect a mayor OF
other city officials this spring except
four supervisors and four aldermen.
Of the latter, the terms of Office of
Aldermen Abrams. Knox, Fisher and
Bryhan will expire this spring.
Alderman Bryhan will not be a
candidate for reelection, and nomina-
tion papers are being circulated fol
Geo. P. Goble as his successor.
So far as known at present Super
visors lockwood, Brennan. Richardson
and Angus are not averse to accepting
re election and no opposition candi-
dates have as yet developed. The
terms of Justices of the Peace G. W.
Burrows and 81. L. Moses expire this
spring. 1t is expected they will be
candidates for re election.

Quite Marvellous.

"Do you know" said the cheerful
idiot, that it is the easiest thing in
the world to tell whether man is
going for his holidays or returning, by
the way he carries his portmanteau?"
81 never thought of that" said the
simple young man. What is the diff
ference?"
at is just this way" he went on.
when man is going away he carries
his portmanteau toward the railway
station, and when he is coming back
he carries it in the other direction"

STRUGGLE
WITH AN INSANE MAN
Sheriff Arrested Big Bohemian
Near Muscoda Thursday.
| Was Taken to Asylum at Mendoza last
Saturday-Had Been There Once
Before.

On Thursday of last week Sheriff
Harcleroad arrested Joseph Koleman,
Bohemian, northeast of Mucoda,
between that village and Highland.
Koleman is laborer, about 30
years old, and unmarried. He has
been in the asylum for insane at
Mendoza. but has been at liberty for
about year, in the hope and belief
that his malady had been overcome.
Recently he had shown unmistakable
signs that he was insane and fears
were entertained that he would be-
come dangerous. The sheriff found
him at the house of one of his
Bohemian friends and went there
with Drs. Bailey and Marsden of
Fennimore to make an examination as
to his mental condition and they
pronounced him insane. When they
began to question him Koleman, who
is a big and powerful man. took out
his knife and began to trim his finger
nails, but wearing a look upon his
face which persaged trouble. When
the sheriff told him he was going to
bring him to Lancaster, he resisted
and put up good stiff fight, which
made the result at times seem little
doubtful to the sheriff, but Koleman
was finally overpowered and brought
to the county Jail Thursday evening.
He was taken to Mendoza Saturday.

The comic opera, The Captain of
Plymouth" which was presented last
Wednesday evening at Reeds opera
house, was unusually we'll received
although the attendance was far
smaller than it should have been.
1t was given under the direction
of the Girls Glee Club Of the high
school and the cast was made up
with two or three exceptions, Of
high school students. All acquitted
themselves we'll and two or three
with the skill of professionals. The,

opera was presented in a way that
showed that much time and care
had been used in preparation.

Obituary--Mrs. Henry May.

Death, the sad messenger is again
with u.s. and claiming for his own
the shining mark, Elizabeth May,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Carmody. When the old die after
long life of usefulness, we sometimes
hear the remark, THAT all must
die, I" but when the young die we
know of none more fitting than The
good die young. Mrs. May was
born in Lancaster. Wis, Feb. 22nd,
1881 died at her home in Louisburg,
Wis, Feb. 18th, 1909 The funeral
services. Feb. 15, were held at st.
Joseph's church; Requiem mass was
celebrated by the pastor. Rev. Father
Wyer, end, while contrary, to the
practice, paid beautiful tribute to
the deceased on the subject of death.
He spoke of the endearing qualities
of the dead, and told his large audi
ence that though they had known her
but short time, she had endeared
herself to all who knew her, and that
by example she had won for herself
friendship far beyond the bounds
of her acquaintance.
But short year ago, it was the
happy privilege of her many friends,
TO rejoice with her in the celebra-
tion OF her holy nuptials, and those
who on that occasion laughed and
made glad with her, wear today the
saddened faces of gloom and tears, as
the echo of her marriage bells is
deadeaned in their hearts by the
strains of her melancholy requiem.
Farewell to such as she is sad at
best. No more those eyes of sun
shine meet our gaze, no more that
smile we loved, while lingering in
our heart, is the echo of a sweet voice
now hushed in the silence Of death.
Human nature holds to the objects
of its love, and we cannot remove
from our nature that selfish spirit,
that would keep our treasure with
us, but we are assured that she is
happy. That her whole life was but
the preparation for such happiness as
this world does not bestow. Then
Gods will be done, He knows best
why life's cares are not extended to
all for the full measure. Then let
us be patient
These severe Affections, not from
the ground arise, but oftentimes
celestial benedictions assume this
dark disguise.
In the death of Mrs. May the writer
has lost another friend on whose judg-
ment he could safely depend, and
whose opinion he could value at once
for business and sincerity.
She is survived by her husband and,
infant child Elizabeth, her parents,
four brothers and five sisters Thos.
Mark, William, Leo. Teresa and
Nellie of Lancaster, Mrs. ]. NJ. Gull
kin and Mrs. j. NJ Carmody of Mt.
Hope, and Mrs. Frank Ahasey of
Bloomington. Besides these rela-
tives she leaves a large circle of
friends to mourn her death. May she
rest in peace. P. j. G.

0bituary--JOhn J. BendOrf.

John Joseph Bendorf passed away
with neart failure Feb goth, 1909,
at the home of his neighbor, Thos.
Hartman, where he had gone to spend
the evening.
Mr.. Bendorf had re turned from
town in the evening in as good health
as usual, helped with the evening
work and then went out to spend the
evening, which was the last his
family saw of him alive.
When the sad news was carried to
his family the shock was almost more
then they could stand. Mrs. Bendorf
is almost PROSTATE with grief; they
can hardly realize that the Kind and
loving father and husband with them
but few short hours ago, would
never smile on them again in their
beautiful home. We ask can it be
true2
Mr.. Bendorf was born near Rock
Vile, Sept. 18th. 1861; was married to
Miss Alvina KoelIor near Potosi, Jan.
Goth, 1886.
Seven childern blessed their union.

at the funeral hers that we're here
from a distance where Mrs. Bendorf' s
brother William Koellor of Holy
Cross, Iowa, and sister Mrs. Burton
TreadweIl and daughter Edna of
Amboy, Ill. The deceased has always
lived in and around this part of the
county, and his host of friends were
shocked on hearing of his early
demise. He was kind man in his
home, nothing was TOO good for his
family, where he will be SO sadly
missed. We have lost a good nigh
Dor who is it that will not miss his
CHEEKY, good natured greeting, whether
at home or away. 1t was always the
same.
Brief service was held at the house.

And cloud in the sky,

MINERAL CLAIM JUMPERS.
It May Be Said That They Are BecOm-
 ing PerniciOusIy Active.

Considerable complaint of claim cles, 1t being said that the practice is on the in erase.
 "There is no law 10 protect us against the claim jumper" said well known local mining man. Ut is an easy thing to tear down a mans monu- ments and put up a notice on his property and then to claim that he has forfeited it by failing to do hls assessment. work, but the only remedy we have in case of this kind is to go into the civil courts and file suit for quIet title, unless we pay the jump CTS to withdraw their claim, which is generally all they are looking for. Some good deals have been knocked Tn the head by jumpers who heard the deal was being negotiated and set up an adverse claim. Of course, if the suits had been tried, the legitimate have lost considerable time in fghtin E the case aud perhaps several good opportunities to dispose of property, besides having to go to the expense of employing lawyers. They have way of dealing with these gentlemen in Nevada and Colorado but nobody seems to have thought of it here"
 The claims reported to have been jumped recently with the excuse of failure to do assessment work, is one on which a tunnel had been driven 200 feet. Ou another, a shaft had been sunk 150 feet and 8 whim cost ing about $500 had been erected. Similar proceedings. the report goes, have been carried on in various parts of the district, to the detriment of a number of locators Silver Belt.

Finley and Duffy Making Good.

MT. Finley. the councilman from Pima and Santa Cruz, shows his past training in the elegant and smooth way in which he gets his business be- fore the council. He IS quick on his feet, apt with his word, competent in delivery and knows from the start what he wants and how to get it. Tbe Democrat predicts that he is going to be very useful to his party and his territory during the next sixty days.
 The Bisbee Review says that Santa Cruz county has many reason for be- ing proud of it's representative in the lower house this year. Already MT. Duffy has demonstrated that he is man of parts and that he is going to be one of the most dominating in fluences in this session. Personally, Mr. Duffy is one of the most pleasant men in the territory is known as staunch and loyal friend and patriotic and capable citizen. Arizona needs such men as Mir. Duffy and has been need ing them for long time.

Chihuahua and Sonora, Mex ico, expired on the 12th of this month, no one else has been allowed to file on the properties covered by the conces- sions. according to information which has been received at the mineral office in Juarez.
 Promptly upon the expiration of the concessions crowds of miners anxious to file on the claims congregated at the various mining offices ia the dis tricts where the properties were locat- ed, but the mining agents refused to accept applications for Announcements, saying they had received instructions from the secretary of fomento in Mex Ico City to permit no one to file on the properties until further notice.-' Fl Paso Herald.

BANcO SONORA'S 1903 SHOWING
Is the Best of Any State Bank of Issue
 in the Republic.

The Banco de Sonora, the state bank of issue of the state of Sonora, and which has a most fourishing branch in this city, has just issued it's fnan- cial statement showing that it has fully sustained it's record as the best dividend payer of any state bank of issue in the entire republic of Mexico. It has declared dividend of 16 per cent on it's capitalization of $1,500.- 900 Mexican money for the year just closed. This rate of dividend is ex- ceeded by no bank of issue in Mexico except the Banco Nacional de Mexico.
 The Bank of Sonora's statement shows a net profit of over $40O. 900 Mexican money for 1908 and it's 16 per cent dividend is payable on the 10th of this month in full, a most re- markable showing for the year which was an exceedingly dull one in a busi- ness way. It's stock is quoted at 220 and none for sale at that price. This bank also has the proud distinction of having the highest quoted stock of any state bank of issue In all Mexico. -Chihuahua Enterprise.
