local correspondents throughout the

months and furnish news of their
section. Likewise the distant read

doing with them during the year.
A justice of the supreme court

held on the first Tuesday in April.
Justice j. B. Winslow, whose term
of office in that position will expire
next January, will be candidate to
succeed himself, and so far as at

Superintendent of Schools E. C..
Brick went to the Platteville Normal
on Monday to make an address before
the class in short course agriculture.
He reported the attendance as fair.
On Tuesday he went to Madison to be
present at the meeting of the con-
vention of county superintendent,

Kenneth F. Burgess, a rising
young attorney of this city, has been
Of
2s assistant counsel in the office of
counsel for interstate commerce in
the legal department of the Burl
ington railway, at Chicago. This
is an important position and carries
with it very nice salary, although
the latter is not $4,000, as has been
stated. Mr.. Burgess owes this ap-
pointment partially to the good work
done by his firm, Meyer & Burgess,
as local attorneys for the Burling- |
ton in some legal matters handled
for the. company at Cassville, last
summer, and partially that one of
the professors in the legal department
of the University of Wisconsin while |
Mr.. Burgess was a student there is
now counsel for the road and will be |
his chief in the new work, which he
leaves to take charge of this week.
His Grant county friends are all glad
to hear of his preferment.

week Lancaster was in the throes,
