On the third ballot, last Monday, at
the regular meeting of county asylum
trustees, Rev Charles E Buffers was
elected to become superintendent, anh
Mrs. Buffers to be matron. The other
candidates were c W. POWELL and Olaf
Walby. None who know thoroughly
the ability, capacity and facility of Mr.
Buffers will doubt the Judgment of
the asylum management in the selection
made. He is a steam engine in every
thing he undertakes, and he can adjust
himself to whatever comes in his way
for solution and action. and his wife is
woman of affairs and able to cope
with problems. That the unfortunate
wards of that institution will have kind
~ treatment and care goes without
questioning. Rev. Buffers has been
pastor of Viroqua Me thodist church for
more than nine years. During that
time both he and his good wife have in
gratiated themselves in the hearts Of
the community, and it is with satisi ac-

Monday evening, our Third Infantry

eight out of thirty-siX members answer

the test very creditably in the past,

cast no purple shadow over their halo.
Barring a few minor irregularities, the
soidierly bearing and efficiency in drill
shown was admirable. The technical
requirements are SO exactiug that he
who would show a perfect record sheet

Veteran Soldier and Pioneer Citizen

For great many years one of the familiar faces
seen on the streets Of Viroqua has been that OF
Leonard G. Davis. He was a man Of the happy
life Of the kindly disposition. of the thoughtful
nature. His Joke and smile were the expected
things. Everybody left his presence with a more
optomste outlook on life than when they met
him. His smile and happy face will be known
now only as a memory. In the early hours Of
April first his spirit was waited to the home where
all faces wreathed in smiles and all hearts are
perpetually happy.

a residential district law stand the test,
grant the saloon privilege A year ago
majority of resident electors formed
such district and the petition to that
effect was duly filed with the city

the same process must be gone through
to dissolve the district by majority of
electors petitioning the council. This
reversal petition must be fIedn later
