its officers for the ensuing year and
after few appropriate remarks
yielded the chair and his authority to
P. V. P. J. W. Womack who was fair,
impartial and gave every delegate an
opportunity to be heard. The cleo
tion resulted in the reelection of all

in the history of the Grand Lodge.
Every delegate and visitor is leav-
ing the city loud in their praise of
Chas. E. Messer and his local COM
mittee, lodge and Household for their
entertainment.
On to Sparta is the cry for 1917.

FOR SHERIEF
DANE COUNTY
At the Primary Sept. S, 1916

To the Voters Of Dane Couney:-
During my term as sheriff-1897-
1881 took fortyfour persons to the
state prison. Of this number, only
one stood trial. All the others plead
guilty, and l secured confessions
from practically all of them and
saved the taxpayers of the county
the expense of their trials. At least
100000 was saved by reason Of my
securing their confessions. This is
something that think should be con-
sidered by every voter when he comes
to select his candidate for the Office
Of sheriff.
If elected sheriff, | will take spe-
cial charge of the criminal side of
the work Of sheriff, as did before.
There is another thing that |
would like to have you consider, and
that is that this will probably be the
last time you will ever have an op-
portunity TO vote for a Civil War
Veteran. l have two honorable dis
charges from Uncle Sam.

COINCIDENCE

The friends of the Hon. Osca De-
Prest and those who have both es-
teemed and loved him, because of the
wonderful talents with which Heaven
has endowed him, were grieved in
deed to learn Of the sad loss his fam.
lily has been called upon to sustain.
The news, that the life of his ell
dest son had come to a premature
close by drowning, fell very heavily
upon the hearts of those who had
watched his father step by step climo
to the rounds of honor and fame. It
is the wish of his friends of this city.
and all those who know of him thru
the good he has done, to extend to
the bereaved family their most heart
felt sympathy, and to commend them
to the great care of Him who will
dispense comfort unsparingly to the
broken hearted and at whose feet
we may lay our burdens and find
Peace.
