S. M. Booth-Great Excitement at Pipon
RIpoN, AUGUST s., 1890.

RIPoN, AUGUST s., 1890.
S. NJ. Booth arrived in this city on Sat
urday morning under an armed escort from
Waupun. Notice that be would speak at
the City Hall in the evening was sent out,
and at the appointed time large audience
crammed the Hall to its utmost capacity,
while some hundreds in the streets were
unable to gain admittance.
Mr.. Booth was introduced to the audi
ence and was greeted by hearty applause,
and boquets thrown on the platform by
the ladies'. Mr. Booth had proceeded
some time with his speech, when deputy
Marshal MeCarty, of Fon du Lac, suddenly
came on the platform, and said, Il have a
warrant to arrest you, Mr.. Booth" He
barely succeeded in putting one hand on
Mr.. Booth, when he was instantly pulled
away by the by-standers. A scene of in
tense excitement and indescrible confusion
followed. Kill him, 6 shoot him, chang
him, went up in shouts from all parts of
the hall. McCarty was thrust out of the
hall by the enraged people, being kicked
and beaten by his pursuers. and was thrown
down the lower fight Of stairs, falling up
on his face. Instantly regaining his feet
he fed to the Mapes House, followed by
the crowd in pursuit. The Mapes house
was the head quarters of the Marshal and
his friends, and they appeared at the door
armed, and forbade entrance to the pur-
suers --,Sentanel

Dull IanaeS-We have never seen so
dull week in Watertown as the last one
Business of all kinds seemed entirely suspen-
ded 1t is well that it was SO, when we consid-
re the reason that occasioned it. Farmers
were busy at home, They had something else
to DO besides coming to town and spending their
time here. They were wanted in the harvest
field, to gather the bounteous crops with which
Providence has kindly blessed them Very soon
they will be over their hurry. Another week of
fair weather and their wheat will all be well Sc
cured Then comes on the threshing machine,
and soon after that the wheat will be seen
streaming into market. Twenty-Five bushels
to the acre, which is fair estimate as to
the yield this season, makes the farmers hearts
glad, for it is something unusual here, or at
least has been, for three or four of the past
years. Farmers with thirty, fifty or hundred
acres which have yielded in this wsy, will soon
be +" flush" They will have so much money
that they will not know what to do with it all
But one thing we think they will do. and that is
expend a good share of it in providing them
selves and families with many comforts that,
owing to the extreme hard times. they have
been obliged to dispense, with, more or less,
since the crash of 1857. We think. therefore,
that trade of all kind will soon begin to bright
~ We have no doubt that 6. the good time y
which has been SO lorg '' coming" is at our
very threshold.

Unnpe Frmt.-With the hot weather
which has set in in such good earnest, comes
the usual supply of delicacies of all kinds pc
culiar to the season. Our fruit stands fairly
groan under the weight of apples, plums. pears,
&C., &C., much of which is totally unfit to eat.
People cannot exercise too much care with ref
erence to the quality of the fri it that they use.
AS every one knows, vast amount of sickness
and disease is occasioned by eating green
fruit, or that which is not thoroughly ripe. It
would be well, therefore, to examine it careful
ly before making purchases, and parents should
also keep strict watch over their children to
see that they do not get hold of that which is
not fully matured. Much illness may be pre-.
vented in that way. s :

4 Good Taeld.-Mr. Matthias Haas, of
the 7th Ward, in this city, has shown us SAM
pie of what he calls China Barley raised by
him the present season, that must be profit
able grain for farmers to grow. Two years ago.
he received paper of the seed from the q. s.
Patent Office, containing twenty-six kernels,
which he sowed and got q return of but little
less than two quarts. This he kept for seed,
and about three weeks ago he harvested the
product and finds that be now has nearly three
bushels. At this rate, in another year, he will
have very respectable crop. He says the
Barley is recommended as good substitute for
Rice and can be used for the same purposes and
in like manner If SO, we presume that it will be-
come a favorite with farmers and grow into gen.
eral use among them.

Or Census.-Tbe Dodge Co

Or Census The Dodge Co. Citizen,
i'll speaking of the population of this city says ::
g In Watertown, where 10000 has been the
general estimate, the census gives little over
S, 5000 The Citizen has got its figures little
too high. The Deputy Marshal makes our
count 5 ,242. Don't give US credit for any more
than we are entitled to-
But when, where and by whom did the Cati-
zen ever hear an q estimate" of 10, 900 made
as to our population We have heard of it now
for the first time. There is no one here, so far
as we know, who ever drew on his Imagination
sufficiently to give US any more than the count
made in 1855, viz S,5l2. This shows falling
off of over 5000, which we should think would
be consolation enough. in all conscience, for
rival towns which have likewise gone backward,
and are citing the decrease in other places to
show that they are not the only ones that have
lost ground They ought to be satisfied with
this, without attempting to drag us down still
lower. We acknowledge that we have retrogra-
ded somewhat, in point of numbers, but we
have not done so as fast as the Citizen would
try to make it appear. If we are not greatly
mistaken, the falling off in Beaver Dam is great
er in proportion than is that of Watertown. II
we remember right the figures there in 1856
were but little short of 5000

CHICAGO and North Western Ruilwoy.-

Chicago and North Uestern Railcoy.-
Notwithstanding the financial embarrassments
of the country which have had peculiarly dam
aging effect upon Rail Roads, and seemed to
bring more general disaster upon them than
upon any other of the public enterprises of the
day, the Chicago and North Western Railway
Co., have gone right along with their work,
without any interruption. until their read is all
completed from Chicago to Oshkosh, and thor
oughly equipped with rolling stock enough to do
the largest and most profitable business of any
Road in the State. The track has likewise been
fenced its entire length and when the work of
ballasting, which is now going rapidly forward
and is nearly completed, shall have been finish
ed, it will be one of the safest, smoothest and
best Roads we have. We understand that in
view of the increased business that will neces-
sarily make demands upon it when the i'm
mense crops of the present season shall COM
mence moving, the Company have made ar
engagements for about two hundred new freight
cars which will soon be in readiness for use
The road is admirably managed under the SUI
perintendence of Perry H. Smith, Esq acting
President, and George L. Dunlap, Sup't.

The Game Season. are reminded
by seeing several of our sportsmen ont with
their guns, that the season for hunting is upon
u.s. We are Informed that game never was as
plenty about here as it will be this fall. Expe-
rienced hunters, who have made it their bust
ness to follow their vocation as such, every
year, tell us that there is an abundance of all
varieties, and that as soon as they are permit
ted by law to do so, they shall commence ope-
rations in the way of taking it. For the con-
venience and information of our readers, we
subjoin summary of the law upon the subject
as it stands at the present time. 1t is lawful
to take game in season as follows
Woodcock from LIST Tuesday in July, to 1st
of December following.
Snipe, Grouse, Prairie Hen and Prairie
Chicken. from August y to Dec. !.
Partridge. Rufied Grouse and Quail, from
1st Tuesday in September to LIST day in Decem-

Penalty for killing Cor having in possession)
birds out of season, two dollars for every offence.
Penalty for killing deer out of season, or
having in possession fresh deer skin. or fresh
yenison, ten dollars for each offence
lis to be hoped that the law will be faithful
" observed, and that sportsmen will abstain
from taking any game out of its season. In no
other way can it be kept in the country for any
great length of time. Any person knowing Of
another's violating any provision of the law,
should at once proceed to the proper officer and
enter complaint. If this practice were adop-
ted and followed up, we should soon hear
the last of such infringements as the one tc
which we have alluded. Our last legislature

serious results, occurred on Main Street, last
Sunday. A German in the employ of F. Speer
was exercising a span of colts, and one of the
reins to the harness giving way, the driver lost
all control over the team and it started off on
run. In jumping from the wagon, the driver
fell in such way as to break one of his legs in
three places The horses were caught before
much damage was done to the wagon. We be-
ieve the person injured is getting along as we'll

Good Wages.-A farmer from Rolling
Prairie was in town last Saturday after harvest
agreed to pay three dollars per day. There is a
great scarcity of help in the country, and in
some sections much difficulty will be found in
harvesting all the crops in time. A large pro-
portion of our surplus population here has left
town and found employment among the farmers,
who are glad enough to obtain their services
Right in this immediate vicinity, we believe two
dollars day is about as high a. has been paid.
Another week will very nearly, if not quite, fin
ish up the harvesting OF Wheat and Oats.
