MINSTREL SHOW
WAS A SUCCESS
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT.
The minstrel show given by the South

was a great success from a financial
point of view, tin* ladies netting about

tickets, after all the expenses had been
paid. While the programme was good
and the various numbers well rendered,
the preformance was altogether too long
drawn out. Amateur shows should
be even shorter than professional ones,
if they must lie fully appreciated.

HENRY LEHERMANN
IS NOW CHAIRMAN.
He Succeeds W. C. Maertz of
Maple Grove.
DEFEATS ALL OTHER CANDIDATES.
Election Has Caused Some little Fric
tion.
THOSE WHO SOUGHT THIS POSITION.
1
The New Chairman Was The Last in The
Field hut he Got
the Poll.
Owing to the fact that W. C. Mae tz,
the supervisor from Maple Grove, resign
ing his position as supervisor a vacancy
in the County board chairmanship oc
curred. To till this office until next
spring Ex-Sheriff Henry Lehrmann was
elected.
The election to this office has not
been accomplished without a little fric
tion. It had been generally supposed
that Joseph W. Finch had the best
chances of reaching the chairmanship
and he had been an avowed candidate
from the time of the announcement l of
Mr. Maertz's candidacy for the office of
supervising assessor.
When the board mot, however, other
supervisors had ambitions fur the office
and early in the session the name of
Louis P. Grimm was announced, also
the names of David W. Sheldon and \V •
J. Guetzloe. At this time Henry Lehr
mann was north ou a hunting expedi
tion. When Mr. Lehrmann returned,
however, he courted the office, threw
out his lines and captured the prize.
Someone had spoken of I*. J Conway
as a candidate, but Mr. Conway was
not a candidate. He gave assurances
early in the session that at this time he
could not consent to allow his name to
go before the board, although someone
did cast a vote for him.

W. C. Maertz, who has long filled tbo

honored by an election to the office of
county supervising assessor, which car
ries an emolument of a day for nine
ty days of each yen r. The office is a

election was settled on Tuesday, when
Mr. Maertz received i majority of the
votes of the members of the board on
the informal ballot, only four votes be
ing cast against him, three of them go

The election of Mr. Maertz was con
