mating sheriff The large vote cast
for Gov Blaine and Sen La Toilette
was forecasted.
It is queer how some people will
vote, for instance it is a we'll known
fact that certain community in the
township of POtosi voted against their
local candidate for sheriff and cast
their ballots tor a man in the north
part OF the county whom every close
observer in the trend of politics knew
had no possible chance whatever for
the nomination as is manifested by
his polling $50 votes received in the
entire county This man, Pettera, re-
ceived 81 votes in the Potosi township
precinct, with but one in the village
This seems to be a clear se-of mix
ing religion in politics, thing that
should not be done, and any one who
advocates such a procedure will in the
due course of events, fall down.

The news of the death of Alexander
ITey that occurred at Lancaster Aug
30, caused sorrow among Old friends
and acquaintance in the town of Po-
tOsi where he lived for many years
prior to his removal to Lancaster, fol-
lowing his election to the office of
county treasurer in 1878 He was
town clerk of POtosi in 1865
The writer had the pleasure of at
tending the Labor day celebration in
Dickeyville, Monday Sept. f. There
was an immense crowd of people on
hand and everyone seemed to be en-
joying themselves, spending money at
the various booths There were no
amusements or exercises of any ma
ture to entertain the vast crowd. The
music was made by an orchestra from
somewhere and we would be telling
an untruth to say the music was good.
However, we presume they did the
best they could. Rev. FIR Scheffer Of
st. Andrews parish, Tennyson, was on
for orator of the day, but after a few
appropriate remarks he gave away to
Mr. Doyle of Platteville, much to
the dissatisfaction of the many who
came to hear FIR, Scheffer. Mr.. Doyle
delivered an address from manuscript
and fayed organized labor He was
met with much displeasure by the au-
ditOrs who expected to hear some good
words for La Toilette and Blaine.
Being a banker Mr. Doyle probably
spoke from financial standpoint. His
remarks fell fiat and were not APP
preciated by the farmers and others
present. The dining hall was well pat
ronized for both dinner and supper
and everything imaginable in the food
line and plenty Of it was i'll the table
The a"'ins Of Dickeyville and its en-
virons know how to prepare a pala-
table meal and take pride in so doing
