best farmers anG squarest men in Dane Co.,

The Constitutional A mendment.

The amendment to the constitution of
Wisconsin limiting the amount ofindebted-
ness of counties, cities, towns and villages,
to five per cent OF their taxable property,
received about 10000. votes at the recent
election Only 1900 votes were cast against
it, Thus, with but little or no effort being
made to call the attention of the people to
the question, and in many places there be-
ing no tickets provided for the voters, the
amendment received nearly one half of tie
guberpatorial vote Of 1873. Under the
circumstances we consider that the returns
show that the people of the state have
taken a decided interest in the passage OF
this amendment, Notwithstanding the
opinions OF some Of the papers to the con-
trary.

Stop that Cough !!

Many persons hesitate to try a remedy
fol a disease; on account of the expense,
connected with the uncertainty of its BEN
citing them; while at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the expense
would be the least objection. With this
fact in view, we make the following pro-
position: Any person suffering with a cold,
cough or sore throat that will call at F. J.
Schroeter's Drug store and purchase
bottle of HALE's CoUGH CORDIAL, use one
half of it, and if they then conclude that it
is doing them nc good, they can return the
bottle and receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in this vicinity,
that produced such magical results. Don't
tail to try it.

Meeting of the Common Council.

A meeting of the Common Council was
held at the Council rooms last Monday ev
ening The first business transacted was
the levylng Of a tax of two mills on dollar
in addition to the amount already levied
for bridge purposes. to defray the ex-
penses of the building of Cady Street bridge.
The council directed the clerk by resolu-
ton not to put in the tax list the amount
certified to by the Board of Bond Commits
sioners to pay the interest on theexchanged
bonds and the bonds as they became due.
Another resolution was passed directing the
city treasurer not to pay any money on
coupons. These resolutions met with strong
opposition from Alderman Moore of the
Sd Ward and Alderman Kusel of the 4th
but all their efforts were unavailing against
the reputation tide that was set against them
The course taken by the council on this
matter will do much to destroy confidence
abroad in our good intentions towards a
settlement with our creditors. It means
reputation out and out, and the impression
that it carries with it must prove disastrous
to the best interests of our city. We trust
something will be done to remedy the evil
that has been inflicted. Our citizens gem
orally by no means wish to be classed as
regulators, and we are certain will nse all
means within their power to remove any
such impression.

Confidence Game.

A sad case Of burglary was committed
at the Jewelry store Of Mr.. G. W. Chappel],
Main street, a short time after the adjourn
ment of the Comus Dance last Friday night,
or indeed, more STRICTLY speaking, Satur-
day morning. A portion Of Mr.. Chappel's
store is occupied by John W. Canes, with
few musical instruments and other vocal
and instrumental trumpery. Dan Enos
has charge of these goods over night
and on this occasion, as was his wont,
had retired to his couch. Shortly after
Morpheus had claimed him for his own by
some means the key he left in the door
was turned from the outside and an ad-
mittance gained into the premises, By some
mi dnight marauders. Dan being awaken
ed he could discover their movements by
the glimmer Of match safe which one Of
the fellows carried. The three chaps APP
peared to know what they were about as
they followed closely programme which
| tie principal manager Of the trio had
| with him. A basket of champagne, paid
for out Of the hard earnings Of number OF
the young men of our city struggling for a
| living, first occupied the attention of these
heartle.s and debased specimens Of humani-
ty. Appropriatng to themselves some splen-
did silver goblets from the show case O..
Mr.. Chappell, they were some time engag-
ed in satisfying their Unsuitable thirst and
only stopped their revelry when the last
drop was exhausted. reconsideration was
never carried farther than these three car
ried it on this occasion, inaSmuch as no
hesitancy in making the corks fly appeared
| to be evinced by the party, and it seemed to
| matter little to them who was to settle the
| bill. In all this nefarious work these dar-
| ing fellows were not disturbed and no officer
| of the law presented himselfto arrest them
The cause for their escape from capture
was clearly explained to them. however,
when they made their exit on the street,
and discovered that during the time oc-
| cupied in the transaction lamp post had
to be supported from falling by one in
authority.
