Strawberries as we have ever
seen. The berries were picked
from Mr.. Bryan's fields east of
the city and all were of even
shape and beauties. 1t looked
tempting enough to make the

ate the thoughtfulness of Mr..
Bryan of this city.

ries quite a mention, saying
that they were about as fine as

BY THE way things are lining
up politically it begins to look as
though the next Governor of
Wisconsin will be a Northern
Wisconsin man. Some few
weeks ago this paper commented
on the fact that Senator A. w.
Sanborn of Ashland would likely
be chosen as the candidate Of
the McGOvern faction in the
next campaign and that Attor-
ney John Walsh Of this city
would likely be selected by the
progressive wing Of the Demo-
cratic party. Since then many
papers of the state have been
taking up The topic and discuss.
ing it quite freely.
Throughout the state Sanborn
on the Republican ticket would
have a strong following and the
same is true of John Walsh on
the democratic ticket.
Our local man is q democrat OF
the Wilson type and in him the
people would find a good man to
represent them as Governor OF
the state.

He Fell in the Lake

The boys returning from Eau
Claire Lakes this week have a
good story to tell on Nels
Myhre, one of their party. The
! boys we're engaged in building
boat house on the shore of the
lake and Nels was lending his
assistance at the work. The
boat house was about completed
and Nels took upon himself the
task of hanging the big door on.
He was standing on some logs in
front of the house and had the
door in both hands when he
slipped from the logs, and like a
drowning man, grabbed at the
first thing that came his way
and this happened to be the big
door. Nels went over backward
and the big door on top of him
and the first that the boys knew
of the accident Was when Nels
came out of the water making
an awful splash and splitting
water.
The boys were still laughing
when they returned to town with
the story but Nels did not think
it was as funny as it seemed to
the rest of the party.
