DEATH OF AN AGED CITIZEN
Another connecting link between the past
and the present is gone from among us.
Mr.. John White, famlliarly known as "Old
Doctor White" died at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. A. Grange, in the town OF
Watertown, on Sunday evening last, July
10th. Mr.. White, was born at Lucan,
Ireland, July l4th It'll, and consequently
had just entered his 95th year at the time
of his death. Before the beginning of the
present century Mr. White was a member
of the Government Militia in his native
country, and was engaged in the Irish Re-
bellion of 1898, with the important scenes
and incidents of which he as quite familiar.
Although not regular practicing physi-
clan, he was well skilled in the science OF
medicine, and never failed to administer to
the wants of the sick when called upon.
Mr.. White will be held in grateful remem-
his kindness of heart and the enobling quail
tiles he always displayed toward his fellow
men, ever acting up to the full standard
of what was right and just. AS an earnest
and devoted member of the Episcopal church
he died in the full fellowship of that faith,
and in the hope of a blessed immortality.
His funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon
from st. Paul's Church.

ANOTHER r. r. THROI

ANOTHER r. r. THROUGH JEFFER-
SON Co.-Special elections were held recent
ly in the towns In Jefferson, Walworth and
Racine counties, situated on the line of the
projected Wisconsin Northern r. R., for
the purpose OF voting aid. Running from
Chicago, the road traverses one of the
finest agricultural portions of the state,
striking Montello, Marquette County, where
it is in communication with the vast lHm-
Der region of Northern Wisconsin by means
of the Fox River. The road enters this
county in the southeast part, passing
through the villages of Jefferson, Lake Mills
and Waterloo. On the 9th inst. Lake Mills
carried the proposition of voting S2s, 500 in
aid of the Northern Wisconsin R. R.. by
l3l majority. Jefferson voted $50, 900 for
the same purpose, by large majority, and
Waterloo followed suit in the sum of SILL
500. These localities expect to be greatly
benefited by the building Of this road,
which now looks so much like certainty.

NUMEROUS BURGLaR1Es -Onr o;tu

NUMEROUS BURGLARIEs.-Our city
was rife with burglaries last week, and the
gentry who figured in these transactions
appeared to have things pretty generally
their own way for several lights. The res
idence of Mr.. G. r.. Purple on the west side,
was entered by robbers on Wednesday nipht.
and they were rewarded in the sum of
about $loo for their pains. But Friday
morning revealed the most extensive oper-
alton on the part of the burglars, when it
was discovered by Mr. Thomas Samuels
that the safe in the custom mill of Mr.. Mill
ton Blanchard had been blown open during
the night, and the contents, not large
amount, however, taken: The burglars OBJ.
tanned admission into the office OF the mill,
"here the safe is situated, through win
dow, and drilling a hole near the lock,
poured in quantity of powder sufficient
10 blow open the door. The operators were
doubtless disappointed in not finding more
booty than they did, and It is rather for
tunate circumstance that there was SO little
money in the safe at the time. Scarcely
had this bold robbery become known be-
fore two other burglar:es were reported
one occurring at the residence of Mr. J. w
Mentink, and the other at the house of Mr..
o. K. Coe, both residents of the lst Ward.
The burglars entered Mr.. Mentink's house
through win dow opening into the sitting
room, and entering the bedroom were he
slept, the thieves took his pocket book from
his pants pocket Unfortunately Mr.. Men
thinks pocket book contained sufficient mon
ey to pay the rascals well for their audaci-
ty and trouble.
AT Mr.. Goes they were not SO lucky
The fellows obtained admission into the
house by means of cellar window, which
was protected with wire netting. When they
got inside they lighted candle and went
through nearly all the rooms in the house,
but it has not been discovered that an thing
was carried off by them, although several
rticles of value were lying around proms-
cously loose. This is the second visitation
from burglars that Mr.. Coe has experienced
within a few years, but in this last affair he
came out more lucky than before
Our officers were at once on the alert to
discover the perpetrators of these daring
robberies. Suspicious were aroused against
two vendors Of prize soap, who had been
selling on our streets during a few days
previous. They were searched by Under
Sheriff Giles, and pair of nippers which
might be used to unlock doors with found
on their persons. This was not deemed
sufficient evidence to hold them on, and
they were both released. No other arrests
have been made.
During this season of the year when the
means of egress into houses IS made so
much easier by many windows and doors
being either open or merely protected with
mosquito netting, it behooves people to be
on the lookout for house-breakers, and to
prepare themselves otherwise for the re-
ception of these midnight providers.
