HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
Homicide at Highland.

Last Sunday night frightful circum-
stance occurred at the village of Highland,
Iowa county. The village was disturbed
ard shocked by the shooting dead ofone of
her citizens. The circumstances so far as
we have been able to collect them are as
follows
About II o'clock young man named
Sylvester La Motto, who lives near the
village of Highland, was discovered trying
to get into John Saar's hotel, at an upstair
window. John drove him away. Soon
after the attempt was repeated, and again
he was driven away. Sometime after II
O'Clock the man again came to the window.
This time gun was fred by some person
and La Motto ran away and was found,
about half an hour after the shooting, on
the street below Saar's hotel dead On
Tuesday Saar was taken before Justice
Dietueh, of Linden, on charge of MUIR
der. District Attorney Smith appeared
on behalf of the State, and Calvert Spehs-
ley, of Mineral Point, and P. j. Smoker
of Highland, for the defense. Saar was
bound over to appear at the next term of
the circuit court. Saar, we are informed,
has entered into the necessary recognizance
and at the next term, perhaps, the whole
matter will be unrayeled and satisfactorily
OF.
If Saar did the deed, and it should ap-
pear that he was justified, still it is Sc
rious matter. The blow to the young
mans family is a severe one. We are told
his poor mother is almost crazed with her
grief, and at present it is impossible to
comfort her. She will have the sympathy
of all the mothers who hear of the atfray,
and in fact of every one who is not entire
ly devoid of feeling.
We presume there is considerable ex-
element about the matter, but nothing
should be done by way of revenge. The
whole matter should be left with the
courts.

scription of Southern California, the. de-
lightiul climate, the prosperity of the peo-
pie, and the general adaptabllity of the
country to the wants of Man. 1t would
not take very long conversation with
him to rive one the California fever, but as
he has been unusually successful in the
land of gold, it is very natura! that he
should speak well of it.

BREAD CAST UPON THE WATERS =
In 1860 the little village Of Viroqua,
county, Wis, was destroyed by a tor
nado, with great loss of life and prop
erty. leaving the people destitute.
Among the contributions they received
was the sum of $1,000 from Chicago,
Last Friday the people of Viroqua
raised and sent to Chicago by the
hand of Congressman Rusk tho sum
of $500 in money. This sum is a
large one for this small country village
to rise, it is an affecting reminder that
good deeds are not forgotten, and do
not in this world, always or often even

Republican Meeting.

The citizens of Dodgevlle met at the
courthouse on Tuesday night last anxious
TO hear the speakers that had come to adj
dress them. The meeting was called to
order by Mr.. William Hendy, and joel
Whitman was chosen chairman. The
speakers, Mr.. Wel:h, of Madison, and Mr..
Wheeler, from Baraboo. were present.
The chairman then introduced Mr.. WEIGH
to the audience. After few preliminary
remarks and pleasant reference to his
former visit among US, he proceeded to
speak of the political issues of the day,
discussing each question in clear and
mastery manner. lie went over the his
tory of both the present parties, showing
the errors in both fairly and squarely. He
dwelt at some length on the decided i'm
provements that had been brought to per
lection under republican rule, and the
great opposition of the Democratic party
to each and every measure. The speaker
showed the great difference of the banking
institutions of Democracy and Republic
anism. We had tried BOTH The former
was generally termed wildcat currency.
The whole country had been overrun with
Irresponsible banks, till at last the whole
fabric tumbled down in a heap, causing
universal financial ruin. The democrats
established this miserable local banking
system. The Republicans, on the contra
ry, had given the country genuine state
currency. Under the old system Of local
banks we were compelled to pay as high
as 20 per cent. to send our money to the
marts of trade. Under the present sys-
tenn we could send it for nominally moth
ing-8 per cent. If our banking institu-
tons had been on as safe basis during
the war as they now are, the war would
have been a democratic failure long before
it was, in fact there would have been no
war
In speaking of the tariff question the
speaker said it was a question that few I'M
derstood it was so complicated sectional
and local that it was almost impossible
for any man to fully understand its whole
meaning; that it was absolutely i:npossi-
BILE to make it political question; il
would always be governed by local inter
ests. The democrats themselves did not
want free trade; then why make such
fnss about it. He then passed on
IN to the reconstruction question, the con-
stitutional amendments. &C., closing with
an earnest appeal to the repub icans to
to stick 20 their party.
Mr.. Wheeler then followed, handling
the subject in vein Of sarcasm and mer-
riment. He did not use the sound logical
arguments that Mr.. WEIGH was gifted with,
but it was rest to hear him. 1t was like
the dessert after the dinner, and judging
from the peals Of laughter, we should say
the audience were we'll pleased.
