persons who may buy tickets in the various
gift enterprises or lotteries now advertised
10 take place in this city in short time, are
likely to lose their money, on account oil the
fact that the authorities are taking steps to
stop these enterprises, and as they are clear
" in violation Of the law the officers will no
doubt be successful. If the lotteries are
stopped, of course persons who have bought
tickets will never be able TO recover their

From the Fond du Lac Reporter, 9th inst.

From the Fond du Lac Reporter, 9th inst
Three burglars were arrested at Oakfeld
Centre, " ednesday forenoon, after sharp
fight with revolvers. Putting this and that
together, the history of the affair is as fol-
lows Tuesday afternoon three men regis
tered themselves at the Lewis house, as
from Racine, hired livery team, stating
that they were going to Glen Beulah We'd
nesday morning early they returned, took
breakfast, paid their bills and disappeared.
About halt past eight o'clock the same
morning some workmen on the railroad
track at Oakfeld saw three men hiding
something under the snow, in the large cul-
vert south of the village. The workmen
went Immediately and unearthed a steel
Jenny, about peck Of deeds, certificates
and business papers bearing the name of
Dillingham;, Glen Benlah, and a quantity
of postal currency. Complaint was made
to n. Filbey, justice of peace, who issued
two warrants for the arrest of the three men,
who were last seen walking down the track
towards the Centre Oscar Willard, Mr.
White and Pete Burkhauser took one war
rant and started after them with hand car
They found the three suspected burglars
waiting for dinner at Bennet's and with
two or three ether men the Oakficld party
proceeded to arrest the three men. One
burglar gave up at once, but the other two
drew their revolvers aud commenced firing.
Three shots were fired in the house, only
one taking effect, in the thigh of one of the
burglars, but it turned out only scratch.
They rushed out of the house when the
firing became indiscrminate, both sides
standing right up to the work, some fifteen

through his right ear. The burglars then
took flight down the railroad The one who
surrendered was left under guard, while the
Oaktield men gave chase. The passenger
train going south came up while the chase
was going on bringing reinforcements with
the other warrant in hand. They joined in
the pursuit, and after short chase the bur
glars were cornered near the station again,
and surrendered at discretion. Hero the
pursuers found check for 81, 200, and
$500 In United States bonds stamped into
the snow. The men were taken into the
station and searched, but only $l25 was
found upon them. They were taken to
Oakfeld and examined before justice Fill
bey, who ordered their committal to the
Fond du Lac Jail, whittier they were
brought, with the first prisoner who had
been taken to Chester, on the > O'Clock
freight. When the Sheboygan stage arrived
at night, it brought Mr.. Dillingham;, who
said his safe had becI robbed the night
before of 81 800 cash, besides bonds, notes
and various papers, The 81, 500 are still
missing. Ohe Of the robbers was recognized
as state prison bird.

ANOTHER HEAVY BOND ROBBERY.
500, 900 in United States Bonds Stolen
from the office of Mr.. Leonard W. Je-
rome The Thief Escapes.
From the n. 7. Times. 9th.


Wall street is the source of sensations,
and not the least frequent Of the events
which stir the mercurial blood of the bulls
and bears are the oft recurring robberies of
United States bonds,-robberies which
are characterized by more ease in their ex-
ecution than skill in their conception.
Probably there is no sort of property more
easy OF appropriation than United States
bonds. A roll Of these valuable securities
lies upon g, desk in crowded Office clerk
turns his head, and smartly dressed by
stander deity reaches forth his dexter
hand, grasps the treasure, hides it beneath
his overcoat, and cody walks off. In just
such manner was Mr., leonard w. Je.
rome victlmigcd yesterday to the tune of
$lo0,0 900.
Between y and / o'clock, the busiest
part of the business day, while number
of persons were in Mr.. Jerome office, No.
As Exchange place, a roll of $40 bonds
which had just been received fiom the Of
flee Of Brown Brothers & Co., was taken
from a desk where it had been placed by
the clerk. The robbery was discovered
within five minutes after its occurrence,
but not in time to arrest the thief for
whom diligent search was at once instituted.
The only clue to the rogue is furnished by a
gentleman who was waiting to speak with
Mr. Jerome, who saw man pass from the
stove, where he had apparently been warm
ing his hands, toward the desks, going be-
hind that upon which the bonds lay, and at
once come back and saunter Uu. of the Of

DIyORcE A bill was introduced a d;

DIVORCE. "A bill was introduced day
or two since, by Gen. Hobart, of Milwau-
kce, which bids fair to make noise, when
ever reported from committee. 1t makes
most radical change in the divorce laws
and practice Of Wisconsin, and that in a
very few words. To come at the matter at
once, the bill so amends the divorce laws as
to make them conform to that set forth in
the New Testament 1t enacts that no
dirorce shall be granted by any court az
Wisconsin for any other cause than adultery.
The foundation for this law is to be found
in various places in the New Testament,
where Christ teachings on the subject are
recorded in clear and unmistakable language
for instance in Matthew XIX:9 and Mark
S.a T..

whose open waters, without even floating
ice, were IN singular contrast with the
sharp winter air and the SNOW covered
country.

Establishment of White Slavery.

Senator GRAFT BRowN, of Missouri, is
notorious Radical, but is opposed to the
High Tariff Bill recently passed through
the Senate, and voted for by Mr. HOWE, of
Wisconsin. In recent speech Brown
said
Il think, sir, that system of prohibi-
ton such as we are asked to enact here to-
day is neither more or less than a legalized
plumber. 1t is wrongful taking out of the
pockets of another. 1t is making lawful
that which every morality condemns as
wrongful It is statutory theft and pillage.
That is my Judgment about the whole pro.
hibtory system. We have Just emerged,
Mr., President; from long and exciting
conflict, in which we have labo-ed to get rid
of one system of oppression; we have
abolished slavery in SO far as It relates to
personal bondage; but, sir, in my opinion,
the measure now before you in its princi-
pie, and to very large extent in its appli-
cation, as neither more or less than the iHcip-
ient rc-estaJhshment of stoueIy IN another
shape. 1t is a slavery to capital a servitude
which will be just as onerous, just as trying
to this nation, and just as productive of evil
consequences to the oppressed classes and
sections as ever was any other form or type
of slavery"
"Mr. FEssENDEN. If we get the negro
into the bill we are gone.
"Mr. Brown. That may do for retort;
but, sir, if you get the white man into sla-
very the western farmer paying his tribute
to the eastern manufacturer, and continue
to clench his fetters and extort from him
more and more, as seems to be now pro-
posed, you will not end without violence
either"

SENATOR RlED.-A Madison correspon-
dent of the Milwaukee Neus draws the fol-
lowing life-like portrait of Senator GEORGE
REED, which will be easily recognized by
his friends:
''Hon. Geo. Reed is the Senator from the
nineteenth senatorial district, and is resi-
dent of Manitowoc, Manitowoc county
was born in sectarian, purltanical Massa-
chusetts-judge he must have left that
state as Douglas did Vermont-at very
early period of his life, for he is one of the
truest and noblest democrats which ever
occupied seat in the legislature. He is a
sound lawyer and practices his profession.
He has been resident Of Wisconsin for
thirty one years-was member of the ter
ritorial constitutional convention-and this
is his fourth year in the state senate. His
personal figure is noble and commanding,
uniformly neat in his dress, and fond Of a
good cigar which is luxury with him of
frequent indulgence. Politically, but few
have gained greater confidence in his party,
and no man is more worth of leadership; a
true blue democrat of the old jackson
school, he is just such man as the democ.
yacy admire-a consistent and practical
exponent of the firm principles of democra-
cy; dignifed, urbane, unassuming gentle
man-his general courtesy and manly bear
ing has endeared him to his friends and
secured the respect of his opponents. In
session and out of session he is always at
his post of duty, aud one of the most atten-
tive and laborious members of the senate.
His age is 5S, but he is well preserved
man for his years, and his appearance
would rather denote a middle aged senator
of forty five instead Of one whose years
were nearly sixty
May he live thousand years
