THE LAW FORB1DS.
eIasdeIl Believes Circulation OF
Tickets is Violation.

Minot-ls the circulation of cards or
tickets OF the so-called slate order in
the primary campaign violation OF
the 1911 corrupt practice act?
This is the question which Alfred
Blaisdell, candidate for the republican
nomination for congress, asks OF At
torney General Miller in the follow
ing interest letter:
March 30, 1912.-The Honorable
Andrew Miller, Attorney General,
Bismarck, N. D.-My Dear General:
Sec. 8, Chap. 129, Laws of 1911, N.
d., provides that mo person shall in
order to aid or promote his nomina-
tion directly or indirectly promise to
secure or aid in securing the nomina-
tion of another person, etc."
In your opinion does the statute
forbid any two or more candidates or
set of candidates cooperating and
circulating cards or tickets of the So
called slate order, with their names
and offices sought thereon, and when
such candidates are jointly contribut-
ing to the expenses thereof, either in
direct or indirect manner? l appre-
hend that there is no question but
what this statute does away with the
old system of establishing headQuar-
ters for any of the various sets of can
didates, but does the statute forbid
the circulating of printed ticket or
'slate" when the candidates have in
any direct or indirect manner jointly
contributed towards the expenses
thereof. Your early opinion on this
most important matter is earnestly
desired 1t is matter of vital inter-
est not only to all those candidates
who desire to live up to the spirit of
the law but also to the voters of the
state.
have the honor to remain,
Very respectfully
Alfred Blaisdell.

To Prevent Wood Rot,

Instead Of treating wood to pre-
serve it from rot. an inventor at Buda-
pest arrives at the same result by a
reversal Of this operation. for he treats
the earth to surround the posts in such
a manner as to destroy all germ and
insect life. This process serves as a
substitute where it is difficult to secure
the treated lumber. 1t is called peri
sterilization"

MRS. WILLIAM HUTSON.

The death of Mrs. William Hutson
occurred at her home in the second
ward Monday, April l, 1912, shortly
after l O'Clock in the forenoon. For
mouth past Mrs. Hutson had been all
ing with a complication of diseases, but
no apprehension Of her serious cOndi-
ton was had until last Thursday, when
heart trouble became apparent and she
gradually failed until the end came.
Jane Cowing was born near Toronto,
Canada, September 4, 1858, and came
to the United States with her parents
in 1864, the greater part of her life
having been passed in this vicinity.
She was united in marriage to VIM.
Hutson in 1881 and together they re-
sided on a farm in Fulton until few
years ago they removed to Edgerton,
since occupying the house in which she
died.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
Schoenfeld, were held from the home
Wednesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
largely attended by relatives and neigh
bors, and interment was made on the
family lot in Fassett cemetery.
Mrs. Hutson was a member of the
Congregational church, of the Royal
NelSnDOfS ana Cno w oman RolleI
Corps, and was always willing and &C
tive in matters pertaining to the up
building of these societies.
Besides the husband there are left to
mourn their loss an aged mother, Mrs.
Mary Baker of Spring Green, two sis
tiers, Mrs. Chas. Scofeld of Fulton and

MRS. HERMAN LIDICKER.

Just five weeks after her husband
was laid to rest, Mrs. II. r. Lidicker
passed away at her home in Beloit, the
end coming Thursday morning, March
%, at o'clock. Her death was due to
cancer with which she had been affiict-
ed long time. She was 81 years old.
Mr.. Lidicker died on February 20 and
at the time his wife was very low in
the house. 1t is thought his passing
fastened her demise. She was born in
Jefferson, Wis, in 1858 and married
Mr.. Lidicker at Edgerton, May /, 1879.
The greater part of her married life
was passed in Edgerton. After few
years spent in Brodhead, five years ago
the family removed to Beloit, where
they had lived since. Mrs. Lidicker
was beloved by all who knew her and
it will be with sincere sorrow that her
friends will learn of her passing.
Mrs. Lidicker is survived by one son,
Ralph, of Beloit; two sisters, Mrs. John
Lang, Harvard, ILL.,, and Mrs. Aaron
Hake of Fort Atkinson; three brothers,
Mike Schmidt of Edgerton, John
Schmidt of Jefferson and Adam Schmidt
of Portland, Ore.
Funeral services were held from the
home at o'clock Saturday morning,
conducted by the Rev. E. D. Kohlstedt
Of the First Methodist church, and the
remains brought to Edgerton where
interment was made in Fassett ceme-
terry.

FRANK HuTSON.

After being missed from his board
ing place several days, Frank Hutson
was found dead in his room in the Tay-
Tor house block Thursday afternoon,
with every indication that death had
occurred several days previous. The
last time he was seen on the streets
was on Saturday and in the evening
was heard playing his violin. When
the door of his room was forced open
the lifeless body was found in bed.
The cause of his death was due to an
attack of epileptic fits, an ailment with
which he had been afflicted since in
fancy. He was in his 18th year. He
was the third eldest son of the late
Thomas Hutson. Three brothers and
three sisters survive him, being Fred
c. of Madison; Charles and Roy of
Seattle, Wash; Mrs. Myra Hahn, Chi
cage; Mrs. j. M. Conway and Mrs. T..
A. Clarke of this city.
The funeral was held Friday morn
ing from the home of his sister, Mrs.
j. M. Conway, conducted by Rev. G..
K. MacInnis. Interment was made in
the family lot in Fassett cemetery.

ALICE EVYLIN SCHOENFELD.

Death entered the home of Rev. and
Mrs. Schoenfeld Saturday, March 30th,
and robbed them of their youngest
daughter, Alice Evylin, aged trife
over one year. When six months old
she became afflicted with spinal menin-
gifts and has never been robust child
since, thus falling an easy victim to an
attack of pneumonia. The sympathy
of the community is with the afflicted
family in their bereavement.
Funeral services were held from the
Congregational church Monday after
noon at 2 o'clock. The sermon was
preached by Rev. B. F. Schoenfeld of
Barneveld, assisted by Rev. A. H.
Schoenfeld of Dodgeville, DR.. E. B.
