DEATH
Oil the 4th inst. , at the residence
of his niece , Mrs. Freely Baldwin ,
of Connie , Wash. . , occurred the
'death of Patrick Sullivan of Mer-
riman , onelof the best known men
of this county. Mr. Sullivan was
born March 7 , 1S31 in the town
then called Dublin , but now called
Shullsburg , Wis. Dublin was
then a frontier hamlet without ,
railroads and the country around
so wild that the inhabitants had
built a sort of fort or stockade to
-protect themselves from the Indian
raids. His parents had drived in
to the country with an ox team
just a short time before his birth.
Educational advantages were not
so good in these trying clays as at
present , but young Sullivan se
cured what was a good education
when the surroundings are con
sidered. He acquired a knowledge
of surveying and followed it more
or less until the time of his death.
Filled with same spirit of push
and conquest that impelled his
parents to leave the "Green Isle"
bsyond the sea and push their way
into the forests of Wisconsin , he
- pushed his way across the wild
unbroken prairies of the west , do
ing surveying , engaging in the
cattle business , and filling the
numerous and responsible positions
for which his education and natural
ability fitted him. He settled on
a ranch near Merriman nearly
twenty years ago and engaged in
breeding thoroughbred cattle.
While in this business he was
elected county commissioner of
this county and so good a record
did he make in this position that
he was re-elected , although the
county was strongly republican
and he a democrat. After serving
S
two terms as commissioner he re
tired from public life , sold his
ranch and cattle and established
his home in the village of Merri
man. In the fall of 1902 he waTs
nominated by -democrats for
representative , the district com
prising two counties both repub
lican. Mr. Sullivan was defeated
but he.was far ahead of his ticket.
This was the last time he ever be
came a candidate for public office ,
but he retained his interest in pub
lic aft'airs to the last. He was an
ardent democrat i Bryan demo
crat and one of tfye last things he i
said to his nephew , who was with
him at his death , was : "Bryan
(
will be tlie next president of the
United States. I will not live to
vote for him , but you will. "
In the death of Mr. Sullivan
Cherry county has lost one of her
best citizens , a man who , as a pri
vate citizen and as a public\officer-
met every requirement of a man.
Honest himself Jie expected to find
honesty in others. Bold and
straight-forward himself , he had <
no time for shams and pretenses.
His only queltion wa : Is it right ? ' ! ' ,
If answered in the affirmative. 1m i
went ahead regardless of consequences
quences ; he was neither a trimmer a
nor a time server , but a brave V.
hearted , liberty loving American. |
His wife died many years ago
and he ncv < r had M ? children.
By the terms of h1- * will , A. M. | C (

The body was laid to rest with

church of which he hud always
been a devout member , at the old
home in Shullsburg beside his
wife who preceded him a quarter
of a century.

day , and the men. longing for water j
and rc-st. were impatient to reach the
next town. A rancher rode past. "Say.
friend , " called out cue of the men ,
"how far is it to the next town ? " "Oh ,
a matter of two miles or so , I reckon , ' '
called back the rancher. Another long
hour draggd by , and another rancher
was encountered. "How far to the
next town : " the men asked him eager
ly. "Oh , a good two miles. " A weary
half hour longer of marching , and then
a third rancher. "Iley , how far's the
next town ? " "Not far , " was the encouraging
couraging- answer "cnly about two
miles. " . "Well , " sighed an optimistic
sergeant , "we're holuin' our own any

Ths Madrigal.
The word'madrijrr.l scunds very
forniklable to a beginner in music.
/.lore than nice have I heard the ques
tion. "What is a madrigal ? ' ' Strictly
speaking , a madrigal is an elaborate
vocal composition in from three to ri"
parts , genoially sung in chorus. The
melody should not be carried through
a "ingle ptu't. but should bo dispersed
in phraser through the different voices
in the conversational manner peculiar
to the music of the sixteenth and sev
enteenth centuries. The true madrigal
has no accompaniment. This form of
song i3 considered English , but is
thought to have haJ its origin in the
Netherlands. The exact derivation of
the word is not known. The first
madrigals arc * believed to have been
morning scngshepherdy' lays or
songs hy praise of the Virgin. Circle

there was Treat danger of the old
man being robbed. To these remon
strances tha old man roplieJ that hc
