few hours practice, can thoroughly compre-
bend and effectually use it. There is no adj
justing, no screws to annoy, no delay in
adapting 1t is always ready for use 1t
is a perfect little wonder 1t is a minute
giant, doing more work and Of better
quality than the most elaborate and costly.
Ono-half of the labor is fully saved by its
use, and the clothes will last one half longer
than by the old plan of the rub board. Ii

the abIution of any fabric, from Quilt to
Lace Curtai or Cambria Handkerchief, are
equally within the capacity of this LITTLE

No matter how deep rooted a prejudice
may exist against Washing Machines, the

II Horse Thief on has TrdUets.
John Enhof claiming to be from Beaver
Dam stole horse from farmer in the town
of Lima Rock County, and mounting the
"animile" proceeded north passing through
Johnson's Creek, Sunday morning of last
week. A this point in his journey some
suspicious were aroused by the 'mixed'' ap-
pearance of things-the horse having no
saddle and the rider looking rather rough
but he was allowed to proceed and the cav
aller arrived in this city during Sunday
time enough to refresh himself and have a
social chat he again mounted the steed and
travelled eastward. His next stopping place
was the village of Oconomowec. But we
must go back little in our story. A short
| time after Ennoff had left Johnson's Greek,
a member of the horse thief society came
through the place, and finding himself on
the right track, followed the horse thief TO
this city Here conference was held with
for the recovery of the horse. Enhoof mean.
while traded the horse TO Mr. j. Whippe,
of Oconomowoc for another horse and sew
eral watches Horse No. 2 he disposed of to
some horse dealer, and with bis pockets full
of watches, left the scene of his transactions
For some reason he returned by the same
route he came, and while passing through
Johnson's Creek on the Northwestern train
Tuesday night, our Zero was arrested by
Mr.. George Case, constable of that place, and
conveyed by the same train TO jefferson,
where he was lodged in the county Jail. On
Friday last Enhoff had his examination at
Jefferson before Justice Grimm, and was
held to answer to the charge of horse ST eal
ing. He will probably have his trial at the
next term of the Rock county Circuit Court
Deputy Giles was not long in finding the
stolen horse which was duly returned to its
owner. The reward offered by the Horse
Thief Society, for the recovery Of tie pro-
perty was honorably paid by them.

Death of M0ttheaD Norton.

II becomes our painful duty this week to
announce the death of an old and honored
citizen of Watertown, Mr.. Matthew Norton.
who died at his residence in this city, Thurs.
day morning last, December 7th, after a
brief illness of a little more than a week
Mr.. Norton was born at Athlone Ireland
May 4th, 1907, and was therefore, in his
| 65th year at tbs time of his decease. He
early in life served an apprenticeship to
the mercan tile business in his native coun-
try, and came to America in 1882. Soon
after his arrival he enlisted in the Regular
army, at Albany, N. Y, and remained in
the service eight years. Most of his militia
ry life was spent in Wisconsin, his. giment
oelng stationed long time at Fort Winnie
oago, near where Portage City now stands
de came to this vicinity in 1913, settling
on farm in the town OF Emmett, where he
resided until his final removal into this city
in 1854. During his residence here, Mr..
Norton has held many positions of RESPONSE
billty and trust, and always discharged the
duties involving on him with extreme fidel-
ty and accuracy He has been called upon
to fill the offices of City Clerk, Superinten-
dent of Schools, President of the Board of
Education and City Assessor; the two last
mention offices he held at the time of his
death BY his quiet and unassuming man
ners and retiring disposition, Mr.. Norton
endear-d himself to all classes of our citi-
zens, and we think it may be truthfully
said of him that he had not single enemy:
kin and affectionate husband, father and
brother, a true friend, and an honest man
has indeed been taken from our midst.
Mr.. Norton was called upon to mourn the
loss OF his youngest brother, Mr.. Peter Nor
ton, Of the town Of Pennington, only two
weeks previous to his own death, and these
two sad events occurring in such rapid sue
cession is truly sad affection to the fam
lily, who have our warmest sympathy in this
hour of severe trial
Mr.. Norton's funeral took place at St
Bernards (Catholic) Church, Saturday last
which was attended by QUE city officers
and large number of the friends and &C
quaintances of the deceased, who availed
themselves of this opportunity of paying
the last tribute of respect to his memory.
