To the Ladies of vVatertoyvrl,

We trust the ladies of our city Will act
On The suggestion we published last week
relative to the members of the fair sex do
ing their part towards making our EXPOSE
ton a success, There should be and can be
fine showing made Of fancy articles; many
OF them specimens of the handi work Of the
ladies, all of which would do much to at
tract attention and lend charm to the Expo
sition. As has been stated there are but few
no mes but what could furnish something
that would be sure OF being admired by
somebody, and IS there will be many to
please the proper way IS to send sn articles
either Of the useful, beautiful or novel. We
believe fall viii follow up this idea that a
collection Of articles can be placed on ex-
hibition that will prove to be rot the least
attractive feature Of the fir, and at the
same time show that the ladies Of Watertown
take proper interest in The welfare Of tie
expOs ton.

The Action of the Railroads

The railroads Of the state are preparing
decision of the State Supreme Court. Their
int ntion of conforming. to the Potter Law
will be received with favor by the people
of the entire state Had the companies
obeyed the law from the start they would
have stood far better with the people than
they do at present and considerable trouble
and expense would have been spared the
companies October LIST is the time set for
the railroads to come under full compli-
ance of the law. President Keep of the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway is far
from feeling reconciled to the new order
of things and threatens to draw off trains,
and run things generally on cheap basis
We think it would not take Mr.. Keep lon g
to discover that this would be the worst
kind of policy for the company to pursue.
A railroad company without any accommo-
dating features about it would soon 90 un.
der and be of little value to its owners
The Milwaukee and St. Paul Company, SC
far as we have heard, will make no change
in its management. The power which the
courts have declared the people to have
over the railroads in this state, we trust
will be exercised wisely and prudently. te
the detriment of no interests within oul
state, bat In such manner that the inter
ests o. the railroads and people may be sub
served alike.

Fort Atkinson.


Tousley was burgariously entered and
silver watch and $1,000 in money stolen
from Mr.. Tousley's clothing. The thief
en- tered by way Of small cellar window
and returned the same way. This fact
alone shows that the work was done by no
professional burglar, as these gentry, after
entering house invariably open an out
side door so as to have safe and immediate
egress in case Of alarm. 1t is the opinion
of many that there are certain parties living
in this village who are thieves and we
would advise a sharper lookout on their
actions.
On the same night that the house of Mr.
Tousley was burglarized the house of Geo.
May was honored with like call, but no.
thing taken. The widow Heth was like
wise disturbed by their attentions. In both
cases the thieves were frightened away.
By the recent census of this village,
taken by Mr.. Anderson, the population of
the place is found to be 2,OlO, which is
precisely the fgues Of the census of 1870.
By this it will be seen that our village has,
unlike many other towns in this and ad-
joining counties, at least held its own.
From 1870 to- the latter part of of 1873
there was large emigration from here to
other sta tes- California, Iowa and Nebras-
ka in particular. The present season the
village has again commenced to increase in
population, until at The present time there
is a great dearth of houses to let Mr.. An
derson also took the school census, by which
we learn that there are 1872 children in the
district, of which 392 are boys and 800 girls
There are in the village just Sc more fe-
males than males. This would seem to in
dictate that the crusaders are all right.
A number of readers W ill remember Mr..
John Wilcox, of Omro, Wis, who lectured
in this place last winter on some terrible
thing that was going to happen to the ma
capital and labor. The Plattsburg Sentinel
of New York, states that free love COM
munity has been established on Valcour Is
land in Lake Champlan, and is composed
Of a company of free lovers from Chicago,
with Mr.. Wilcox at the head. They will
attempt to form social combination some
thing after the manner Of the Oneida Com
munity in New York.
The different Oranges of the county will
meet at the Liberal Institute at $50 a. N.
on the 25th, form in procession and march
to the fair ground. Tickets for ;the fair
will be sold at the institute to all who are
not provided.
Mrs. H. A, Rice, of Lake Mills. has COM
pleted patch work quilt to be on exhibit
ton at the county fair, containing 2,O09

TIE MAN WITHOUT AN ENEMY.

THE MAN WITHOUT AN ENEMY
We believe in the man or woman who
"has enemies" This does not sound
sound, but it Is sound. Your milk and
water people, who content themselves with
simply doing no harm, at the same time
never doing any good, they are mere mega
tves. Your man Of force, who does not
wait for stone to get out of his heaven
appointed way, but manfully rolls it over,
may unintentionally hurt somebody's
toes in the act; but thousands who
will have to travel that way will thank
him for clearing it. The man Or wo-
man who has no enemies is generally a
sleek, creeping, cowardly creature, caring
for no one but misunderstanding and
creeping his unchalenged way 10 the OBJ
security he merits. He adds nothing to
the common stock-does no good in the
world, and is lowered into his six feet of
earth without one sincere regret from any
one. He has had no enemies but has he
had friend? A place is vacant, but not
in any warm, grateful heart. A fig for
such people!

IT is proposed 10 England to establish
national school of cookery, in connection
with the annual international exhibition at
South Kensington. An influential meeting
recently held for the purpose OF advancing
the project agreed to the following resolu-
tons: /. That such a school should be
at once founded, to be in alliance with
school boards and training schools through
out the country. 2. That the aim Of the
proposed school should be to teach the
best methods of cooking articles of food
in general use among all classes. 8. That
an association should be formed with the
intention of making the school self.support-
ing. That it would be prudent to secure
capital, say $4,000. The provisional
committee, containing some very eminent
names, were authorized to take the neces-
sary measures to establish the school ly
means of shares, donations, and guaran-
tees. In time it is expected that schools
of this description will be established in
all the great towns Of the kingdom.

1t is an old idea of economy on the part OF
some business men that induces them to
reduce their advertising when times are
dull. 1t is just when business is slack
and money scarce that the dealer needs to
address his most potent eloquence to Gus
toners, to show that he can make it worth
their while to deal with him. In flush
times the people are apt to give much less
thought to the question where they
shall purchase them when the pinch.
ing season comes, and they
begin to estimate the value of dimes and
pennies. 1t is then that the columns of the
newspapers are scanned to see who sells
cheapest or offers the best terms and
many feurishing business man can date
the foundation of his prosperity at the pc
Rod of dull times. when he had the nerve
to throw his bread upon the waters in thu
shape Of money literally spent in adver
Using. A dealer would show the SAM
amount of judgment in taking down hi
sign in dull times as in curtailing his adver
Using.
