> priesthood and for more than a third of a century has served as pastor. llis work since coming to Decatur lias been almost marvelous. He has built up the church in every way and the beautiful buildings now owned by the church here, ure largely due to his untiring efforts. He was a good man and many acts of kindness, unknown to tiie public, but which now and then arc* prove that his charitable work was wide and that he sought no lurther reward than to aid ills fellowmen, happy In that knowledge. In the diocese he was considered one of the strongest priests and ills advice was often sought and followed. As a cltikeu of Decatur he was ever progressive, alive to the best interest, lair and square with every one. Wo deeply regret Ills death, ns do httuilreds of other admirers of this good man and we know that many good traits of Ills character could well be ' followed. Every once in a while or so, the Herald digs up a cry against the $4.72 lax. They understand, thougli they don't want to let on. that the tax was necessary to pay off a debt made by a republican council. There was no ! way to raise the money to pay those l debts that we know of, so the demo- [ » rats have kept the tax up uftd used the money to pay off that debt. The j only difference between the present ] rate and the one charged under re , publican administrations is that the money has been used to pt.y off the. i debt, while the Lord only know* what j became of it then. Then the debt g-ew and so did the taxes. Now the i debt is under control and a reduced, tax is assured, if you elect the demo- j • ratic ticket of business men. quail bed. capable and desirous of making j as low a tax as possible. —————— The Herald is trying to work up nerve enough to yell for Jab ■ At* and

■ rr — mi ■m.ii m ti - —, - ■■■■ — John Lenhart, but it's a tough job. If the convention was such a large and 1 successful affair, it's too bad they couldn't select some real republicans so the Herald could boost if they 'anted to. Aud you moan to try to make us believe that a majority of the republicans in Decatur wanted them. Bah, we half believe there was some packing done and that the stoker wasn’t just exactly on the square. Voters of the First ward have in Fted Linn a candidate with, whom they may feel safe. He is n contractor Whose advice en the board will I rove valuable. Ho is square and a man upon whom you can depend. ITe will listen to reason and will vote on all questions as he believes the majority of his. constituents desire. Do not be mislead by little and petty reasons, and there are no other reasons why you should vote against him. H" will serve you well and he should be elected. The Herald wants us to get on the election board and asserts that it will require some one who has the ability of registering but half the republican votes cast. And then when be passed the window he bhook his fist at i us. Well we won't be on the board ■ it it's any relief to you and ronfiden-, ttally we are not afraid of the count | unless you scare up a bigger vote than i the “fifty-two convention" would in , | dicate. If the Democrat is going to priht all the names of the Pro- , gressives who are supporting the square-deal republican city ticket it will cause quite a pre sure • upon its columns. —The Herald. Yep. Bet those 200 bull moosers In i Decatur will-just about break their legs in the scramble to vote for Jake: ' Atz. Not.

,■■■■ - — — — Vote for Jacob Martin and L. L.i Baumgartner for counciimen at large., The republicans, sly old politician':, that they are, nominated but one man j i gainst these two, hoping to scratch through by a cross-iire game. It should make tlie democrats wise to ! the fact that it’s all a trick, and that they are willing to do most anything to win. Candidates for the various county offices are coming out in squads and some of them have already well canvassed the outside districts, Indicating that the primary which will be 1 eld about the first of December will hi- a very exciting and interesting event. The first political meeting of the campaign will be held at democratic headquarters tomorrow evening. There will be speeches by a number of the local orators and you will enjoy it. Be sure to be there. It is said that John Lenhart changed ids mind three times before he voted last fall and now lie lias flopped it hack and started over again It’a rot* un extra good recommendation for a candidate for the council.
