It was not at Lake Geneva but the good Lord, knows that it might well have been here so far as the half dressed belles are concerned. There was a slight small-pox scare at a fash ionable watering place, and -one of the belles approached an old doctor present, remarking: Doctor, I want to be vaccinated to-morrow and you must put it where the scar will not see. The old doctor mused for a moment as he calmly "surveyed the subject and said: Ian afraid, my dear, you will have to swallow it.

TnE Evening Wisconsin predicts thatbelore election is held in November the Republican Lutherans in the state will be in accord with their party, and that the fight over the Bennett law will be at an -end. We believe that this is true. The Lutherans are very conscientious and seeing that the Bennett law is not the bugbear they were led to believe, they will not repudiate the law or i the party responsible for the law. In fact, the mass of Lutherans now begin to see that they have Jteen imposed upon by demagogues, in their opposition to the law. Tnui present plan of a two year term and ineligibility to re-election of a sheriff, Vs generally -disproved by the people.

vThat office, perhaps more than any other, requires experience and acquaintance. Just about the time a sheriff becomes capable of economical and efficient service the office changes hands and a man to whom every thing is new comes in. While there may be some reason in the claim occasionally made that a long time in office creates an acquaintance and, perhaps, an intimacy that would operate to the disadvantage of the people, it is certain that two years is not long enough for efficient service. The plan of four years, for s6me time used in Illinois, has proved eminently satisfactory and should be adopted in this state. It is to he hoped that the coming legislature will take steps to bring about a change.

Protection for Farm Products Contention that the tariff imposed on imported agricultural products is of no avail by way of protection to American farmers will no more stand the test of facts and figures than most other assertions of the industrious attorneys for free foreign trade. Under the existing law a tariff is imposed on the principal farm products as follows: Wheat, 20 cents per bushel; corn, oats, barley and rye, each 10 cents; potatoes, 15 cents; live stock (other than breeding), twenty per cent on value. The effect of these charges, according to the great apostle of free trade, who never lets slip the opportunity of reiterating his creed, is that Tariff taxation is not limited to the con-timer of imported articles, bat the duties imposed upon each articles permit a corresponding in crease in price to be laid npom the domestic productions of the same kind. Every sensible man, with the price lists of the different trade centers before him, can see that this is not true; while it is a fact that the tariff rates above quoted serve as a check to an influx of foreign products which would, in the absence of such barrier, seriously embarass market prices in the United States. producers pay the tariff on such of these products as they send here, and hence can not afford to sell them as cheaply as they could and would sell if permitted to bring their products here free.

they thus pay in the way of tariff goes into the public treasury, and by so much reduces the amount that otherwise would be raised from our own citizens. But notwithstanding the fact that foreign farmers are taxed for the privi lege of selling their products in our markets, they did send here during the fiscal year staple farm products to the Value of nearly $14,000,000, viz: Bread-stuffs, vegetables, live animals, $3,270,277, After paying over two and three-quarter millions dollars as tariff, these were sold in its to 1 close out all GQODSj A VE i Reductions Goods Notions!

Obituary, GEORGE STURGES. Mr. George Sturges died at his summer villa, Snug Harbor, at 4:30 oclock Tuesday afternoon, surrounded by the members of his family and many near friends. Mr. Sturges health had been in a shattered condition for more than a year, but when he came here to his summer place last spring he rapidly improved, and it was hoped that his strength and yigor would return and perfect health be restored to him.

These hopes were suddenly banished on Friday, last, when he was attacked by dysentery, and soon after with chills and sinking spells which continued in spite of the best medical aid until his death. Mr. Sturges was one. of our earliest summer resorters and he was the best liked of the many who have built their summer homes. His imany acts of benevolence and thoughtful kindness had endeared jhim to all our people, who will mourn his death deeply.

The funeral will be held, this, Friday, afternoon at the house, at 3:30 oclock. Rev. Walter Delafield, of I Chicago, will officiate, and the remains will he buried in the cemetery here. special train will arrive from Chicago at one oclock returning after the funeral, with the Chicago friends of- the family. The Chicago Inter Ocean has the following sketch of his life.

George Sturges was1 bom at Zanes ville, Ohio, May 13, 1838. He was a born financier and came from a prominent family of bankers, most of whom have been closely identified with the monetary interests of Chicago, and the finan cial development and standing of this city. His family did much towards giving the West, and especially this city a security in a monetary way that has always left its impression and influence upon financial institutions that have flourished and prospered here. George Sturges father was the well-known financier Solomon Sturges, a wealthy man, a banker and a shrewd financier. For years he1 was at the head of the banking house of Solomon Sturges Sons, which passed through good and evil times, and then gave way to the equally well known and influential firm Solomon Sturges Sons.

There were six sons, William, Shelton, Buckingham, Albert, George and Frank Sturges. Several of these sons are now dead. There were three daughters, Mrs. Benton, Mrs. Ebenezer Buckingham, and Mrs.

Potwin. The deceased came to Chicago when quite a young man and, lived here for about' thirty-five years. He found Chicago a village practically, and saw it develope into the second city of America and did much to help it do so. For years he was a member of the firm of Sturges Buckingham. They were dealers in grain and owned elevators and a number of vessels on the They prospered.

In 1885 Mr. Sturges" founde. the Northwestern National Bank. Although he was really owner of the hank. Colonel C.

G. Hammond was made the president, and Mr. Sturges the cashier. Mr. Sturges was also a director in the bank.

Later he helped to organize the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, and was one of its directors when he died, When Colonel Hammond died some time ago, Air. Sturges succeeded him as tire president of the Northwestern National Bank. Shortly after coming to Chicago he married Miss Delafield, of New York. She survives him, as do five daughters and one son. He lived at No.
