CLOUDY AND COOL TODAY.
SNOW SHOWERS TONIGHT.
HIGH SUNDAY, AROUND 40. FALL CONTINUES TO BE DISAPPOINTING.

MAQUOKETA LOST TO MOUNT VERNON LAST NIGHT, 28 TO 0. NOW 3 AND 3 IN THE DISTRICT AND THE FINAL GAME OF THE SEASON WILL BE AT EPWORTH FRIDAY NIGHT AGAINST WESTERN DUBUQUE, AND THAT WILL NOT BE AN EASY GAME EITHER.

LEIGHTON HEPKER ON HIS "JUST TALK" SHOW YESTERDAY, DID A 15-MINUTE POLITICAL POLL. HE GOT 82 CALLS IN THE 15-MINUTE TIME PERIOD. FOR GOVERNOR, CONGRESSMAN NUSTLE (R) LOST TO CULVER, 42 TO 20. FOR 1ST DISTRICT CONGRESS (TO REPLACE NUSTLE), BRUCK BRALEY (D) OUTPOLLED WHALEN, 42 TO 20 ALSO.
FOR STATE REP, TOM SCHUELLER (D) OUTPOLLED DAVID KENDALL, 39 TO 23.
AND
FOR STATE SENATAE, SEN. STEWART (D) OUTPOLLED WYNN 44 TO 18.
NO SURPRISE. JACKSON COUNTY SHOULD GO HEAVY DEMOCRATIC, ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR WITH UNHAPPINESS OF PRESIDENT BUSH.

IOWA'S FIRST LADY, MRS. VILSACK, VISITED MAQUOKETA FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AND TOURED THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND VISITED WITH KIDS THERE. SHE WAS HERE TO SUPPORT RE-ELECTION OF SCHEULLER AND STEWART.

THE NEW 4-WAY STOP SIGNS ARE UP AT CORNER OF NORTH MAIN AND QUARRY STREET, REPLACING THE STOP AND GO LIGHTS WHICH HAVE BEEN HAULED AWAY.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.
