Railroad Gazetteer.

The Gazetteer of Railway Stat ions, pub
fish ed by the National Railway Publica-
ton Company, is before US. 1t is a volume
of four hundred and forty pages, of the di-
mansions most convenient for use, and con-
tains much valuable information. The first
pages after the general index are devoted to
Z" List Of the Railroads in the United
States and the Dominion of Canada, with
the names Of the Express Companies deliv-
erng and receiving on each !" also show
ing the gauges Of the several roads, and a
=" List of Old and New Names of Roads, !"
naming over six hundred titles by which
ceatain roads were formerly known, with
their proper designation at the present time.
This last is feature of no little importance
Forming the main body of the book is a
United States and the Dominion of Canada"
giving their location as to County and State
and line of railway, and designating such
as have post, money order, express, and tel
egraph Offices attached to them. Not the
least important feature of this portion Of the
book is very full statement of the popula-
ton of the several towns, much fuller than
can be obtained from the census of 1870.
Following this is a fund of other interesting
Information and valuable tables which make
the W ork desirable to all.
The cheapness of the book, only Sl.OO in
paper, and sl.sO in cloth, sent, postage paid,
on receiptlof price, places it within the reach
OF every one, and few can afford to be
without it.

Central Wisconsin Fair.

Arrangements are rapidly maturing for
the holding of the Grand Exposition of the
Central Wisconsin Agricultural and Me-
chanical Association in this city On Mon
day, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, Sept. 28th, 18th, Goth, and Oct. Ist
and I'd. On the grounds ample prepara-
tons are under way for the accommodation
of exhibitors. A fine building is being
erected by the society 80 100 feet, for the
display Of articles. This building will be
built in substantial manner, with single
root, so that in case of a storm everything
4 it will be perfectly secure. In connec-
ton with this building additions will be
erected, making ample accommodations for
showing goods. Mr.. j. W. Canes, with his
noted enterprise, is erecting an Academy
of Music, to be dedicated to the Muse, and
used for the exhibition Of the various kinds
Of musical instruments from his establish
ment. Ample provisions will be made for
the exhibition of stock, in the way Of sheds,
hay, straw and water.
Not the least important feature of the
fair will be the racing, the Society have
made arrangements for during several
days of the exhibition. The renowned
Badger Girl, Darkness and other celebrated
horses will compete for trotting purses. and
we are promised the best sport ever seen
on the Watertown track.
A ploughing match is down on the pro-
gramme, which cannot fail to be of inter
est to the agriculturalists of the surround.
ing country. Several addresses from prom
inent speakers will be delivered. Arrange
me nts have been made with all the rail-
roads running into the city for commuta-
ton rates for passengers and free freight for
all stock and goods intended for exhibition.
Everything connected with the EXPOSE
ton has an encouraging look at the pres
ent time. But the enterprise can sue
coed only through the hearty cooperation
of all of our citizens, and We trust every
assistance will be rendered by them to car
ry the matter forward to successful ISSUE
With fine weather, and a united effort on
the part of all, the society cannot fail in
giving an exhibition creditable to the city
and this portion of the state.

1ndfstinct Ailments.

There are many distressing symptoms Of
disease the causes which are uncertain.
Debility, nervousness, irraton, mental stu
por, and headache, for instance, may posi-
bly, be symptomatic of chronic disease in
some particular organ yet, in large ma
Jorsty Of cases, at least, they arise from indi
gestion and morbid conditions of the liver
and bowels engendered by foul stomach.
When this is the case a few doses of Hos

complete cure, but should the symptoms be
only mitigated without being entirely re-
moved, by brief course of the remedy, let
it be continued until every trace of disease
has vanished. Dyspepsia is wonderful

the indications of heart disease, brain dis
ease, kidney disease, and half a dozen other

have solemnly announced the existence of
one or other of these complaints, half

ses explode their theories by curing the pa

A Suggestion.

We would suggest to the ladies of this
city that they do their part n making our
Central Fair a success. There are very few
homes but what could furnish something
either of the useful, beautiful or novel that
would increase the attraction of the exhibit
ton. Not that all should be entered for
prizes-for many could not be classified
but to show the cordiality with which we
would all endeavor to make this first ex-
hbition worthy Of our city.
We presume the officers of the fair will
give the same protection to such articles as
those competing for prizes.
There is probably no city in the state
that could furnish articles of Y irtu from SC
many countries and representing the arts
and industries of so many national cities as

Mr.. G. A. christensen, from Chicago,
takes charge Of the cutting department at
the Tailoring Establishment of Bellack and
Hirsh.
After an absence of four years, Mr.. w.
T. Moak, Deputy Collector of the New Or
leans Internal Revenue District, is on a short
visit to his home, in this city. Judging
from Mr.. Moak's rugged appearance the
climate of Louisiana agrees with him quite
as we'll as our Northern atmosphere. Mr..
Moak fully corroborates the accounts that
come to US Of the frightfnl condition of
things in the south brought about through
the intrigues of the White League, and is
convinced that a war OF races is imminent
unless something is done to regulate mat
tiers IN the Southern States.
Last Thursday Mr.. Eugene Wiggenhorn
and family returned from Gle yeland, Ohio
where they have spent the past summer.
Mr. Wiggenhorn comes back among us with
an abiding faith in Watertown as pleasant
place to live and move, and we but echo the
sentiments of our citizens generally when
we say that we are glad he has determined
to become one of US again.

On Wednesday night last the Touring
mill owned by Mr.. L. A. Biederstadt of this
town was totally destroyed by fire. TIE
tire was first discovered about one o'clock
in the morning but too late to save the
mill or any of its contents. This mill had
been undergoing considerable repairs dur
ing the season and was said to be in fine
condition. We understand the mill was
insured in the Phoenix Co., HARTFORD for
the sum of $1,000, and the contents at 3d.
900. 1t is not known how the building
took fire.
Mr. G. Schneekenbuehl has been making
some extensive repairs on his mill and
expectsltoihave the mill in complete running
order in about month. The inside of the
mill has been made almost entirely new !,
with three run of stones.
Mr.. VIM. DeBuse, residing in the south
part of this town, had his house entered
on Monday night of last week by burglar.
While he and wife were away from home.
Three or four children were the only in
mates of the house, who of course were
much frightened on being awakened and
discovering man in the house. The old
est girl (about IL years of age} managed
to get the children into another room with
herself and locked the door. The thief
rummaged the house for while, scattering
the contents ofdrawers, &C., without much
seeming satisfaction, and after making some
efforts to open the door where the children
were, left, mutterng as he went Whether
this was an insane man or a cowardly
"divil,' is not known. The girl received
a shock of fright from which she has not

Fort Atkinson.

Our merchants and manufacturers are
preparing for q strong flow of business this
fall. New stocks of goods are pouri ng in
and the stores are presenting bright APP
pearance.
The "Crickets' hoped down to White
water last Saturday evening and played
"Paul Pry" to very good house.
The Fort Atkinson Schools openedson
Monday in splendid shape. Every detail
necessary has been perfected by Prof
Emery and the energetic board
Eugene Sherman, while at work in the
Furniture Factory on Tuesday, very 2eatly
inserted a chisel in his arm. Dr. Winslow
dressed the wound and he will soon pe all

During the summer of 1912, we believe it
was, Nelson P. Hawks and number of
other residents of Aztalan built side wheel
steamboat at that village to ply on the Rock
and Mississippi rivers. The expense of
building her was betrayed by stock SUBJ
scriptions, and it was thought the enter
prise would add greatly to the commercial
advantages of this county.-When she was
finished and ready to run down the river.
the discovery was made that there was no
oil to grease the machinery, and none to be
had short of Milwaukee. It fortunately
happened that a short time previous Chester
May, Esq, Their of George Eli and Oh ester
May, of this village, had killed very fat
raccson, from which he had taken four and
one half quarts of oil. This oil was con-
triouted, and thus equipped the boat glid-
ed down the Crawfsh into the Rock and
thence to the Mississippi where she was
sold to the entire benefit of Mr.. Hawks and
not the stockholders. So much for the first
steamboat built in this section of Wiscon-
SIM Union.

when too late that he has been sham efully
cheated, and that they have done it by tell
ing him that merchants are cheating him to
death, and pretending to take his order for
the first named goods which they never
deliver. The WOODEN cloth proves to be the
poorest shoddy and the victim reflects at
last that it is far wiser to do business with
men whom he knows than to fall an easy
prey 10 every smooth taking stranger that

The State Fair.

The annual exhibition of the Wisconsin
State Agricultural society at Milwaukee,
which closed Friday of last week, was the
most successful gathering in point Of attend
ance ever held by the society. In some
departments notably the blooded cattle, hor
ses and poultry, the display was better than
the average at our state fairs. In the fruit
department the show was not as good as at
former meetings of the society, which was
accounted for by the fair being held some
two weeks earlier than heretofore. But in
ali the departments he display was credit
able, and no one left the grounds without
feeling just pride in the resources of our
state. At the annual meeting of the State
Agri cultural Society for the election of of
GERS held on Thursday Evening the follow
ing were chosen for the ensuing year:
Presldent-Eli StiIson, Winnebago Ooun-

kept livery stable at Independence, Iowa,
that he had been burned out, and that his

said, had gone east. While there gentle
man arrived from Whitewater, in search
of the team. identified them, and without
making any noise about it, notified Deputy
Sheriff Brown who took the matter in hand.
Mr.. Sawyer bargaiaed for the property, and
the same was delivered to him, when Mr..
brown came upon the scene and arrested
Mr.. Stranger and hand-cuffed him. The
prisoner attempted to escape by running
and after disobeying officer Browns impera-
tive orders to halt, he was finally brought
to by one of the officers pocket bulldogs
which whistled little too close for COM

Northwestern University.

The Northwestern University of this city
opened its Fall term Tuesday of last week,
September 9Th, one week earlier than was
expected. One-hundred scholars were en-
rolled the first day, which is looked
upon as very promising beginning for The
season. The president, Prof Ernst, is still
absent on visit 20 Europe, but is expected
here this week. The Missouri Synod has
ceased its connection with the Northwestern
University and the result is the withdraw
ing of large number Of scholars attending
the Institution from that synod Still with
the opening Of the winter season the en-
rollment of students is expected to be quite
as large as last year. The change has made
no difference with the financial standing
of the Northwestern and its means are ample
to carry forward the work it has in hand
This popular Institution of learning is on q
permanent basis and it's outlook for the
future never appeared brighter than at pre-
sent. The educational advantages of Water
town are scarcely equaled by any other
city Of the size in the state, matter in our
favor that persons from abroad are fast

The Improvement TO the w alter 7Oyyer.

one of the finest improvements ever made
in our city IS the erection of the wears in
the river Tor the purpose Of getting proper
stage of water in the mill pond and equally
dividing the water power between the sew
eral owners. By this arrangement the
water can not be brought down above the
dam to lower depth than seven feet.
This will obviate the unpleasant spectacle
of the river becoming almost absolutely DRY
in the summer time, and perhaps prevent
much sickness that is apt to originate from
low water. Altogether the improvement
has been well worth the outlay and we
should Judge must prove of great benefit to
all concerned.
