ANDREW HERTEL DIES
AT HOME THURSDAY
Well Known Local Business Man Ex.
pires From Cancer of Stomach.
Ill For Two fears.
WIDELY KNOWN AND RESPECTED.

Mr. Andrew Hertel, of the firm of
in Sixth street at the age of So years,
at 9 o'clock Thursday morning, after
suffering from cancer of the stomach
| for nearly two years.
Mr. Hertel has been in the clothing
business here for forty years. He be
gan his career in the same building
| the firm now occupies, in the employ
of the SchWab clothing company, and
was with this firm until in 1894 when
he formed a partnership with Fred
Hoffman, and bought out the store.
Mr. Hertel was married in 1881 to
Miss Eleanor Molzahn. His widow and
ten children survive The children
are: Margaret, Stella, Helen and An
drew, at home; Edward, ST. Francis
Seminary; Clara, .Beloit; Irene, Wau-
tOma; and Hugo, John and Albert,
Chicago. Mrs. M. Fischer Of this city
is sister to Mr.. Hertel, and Mr.. Gott-
fried Hertel is a brother.
Mr.. Hertel was a member of st. Hen
ry's Catholic church, and for fifteen
years prior to his illness was trustee,
serving as treasurer to the church.
Commencing at the clothing busi-
ness at the age of nineteen years, con-
scientiOuS work and honest dealings
earned him a place as one of the cities
best known and most respected busi-
hess men. Mr. Hertel was a man of
fine upright character and will be re-
membered by a large circle of ac-
quaintances as a kind hearted gentle
man, friend to all, and a friend
worth having. He is mourned by his
family as a kind and loving husband
and father
The funeral was held Monday morn
ing from the home to st. Henry's
church at 10 o'clock, and inter-
ment was made in ST Henfys ceme-
terry. The pallbearers were: Leo

ly, Albert Frattinger, w. D. Bingham
and o. c. Hahn.

ly impressive, solemn high mass be-
ing said by Fathers Schweitzer, Sal
entine and Braske.

HUGHES MEN CONFIDENT
OF VICTORY IN NOVEMBER
Republicans Cite Examples To Show
VIII, Party VIII Win In Com
ing Election.
WILSON'S ACTS DISAPPROVED.

Barring slip of some kind of an
politics, there is no question now i'll
the minds of Republican leaders OF
long experience Of the election of Mr.
Hughes.
The campaign for three weeks has
been on the upswing and is still gath
ering momentum everywhere, parti-
cularly in the central states.
-Four things have helped to bring
this about:
1. The Maine election, the moral
effect of which has been noticeable in
virtually every contested state.
g A much more complete amalga-
nation OF Republicans and Progress
siyes than was at first indicated, even
in Washington and California.
3. The increasing power of Mr..
Hughes speeches.
f. The Wilson 8-hour railroad leg
islation, which is said to have cost
him the votes of the farmers.
In addition to the above of the Ger
man American vote which is usually
Democratic, is almost solid for Mr..
Hughes as they consider that Presi-
dent Wilson has been unneutral i'll fav-
oring Great Britain as against Ger
many.
Furthermore the convention of fed
Grated Catholic societies, which met
in New York few weeks ago, made
4 savage attack on President Wilson's
policy in Mexico, and it is believed that
this is an indication that the Roman
Catholic vote, which is largely Demo
cratic, will be cast almost solidly for
Mr Hughes in order to defeat Presi-
dent Wilson.
The more recent reports from
Chairman Wilcox at the Republican
headquarters in New York, are to the
effect that the power of ex-President
Roosevelt's support will also swing a
number of the Rocky mountain states
that have been hitherto counted rel-
ably Democratic.
