Death of Dwight Goo drich.

We have the painful duty to perform
this week OF announcing he death Of Mr.
DIV .ght Goodrich, who expired at the resi-
tance Of his bro'ter-;,-law. J. A. Chad
wicl,, in the Third Ward, Saturday night
las, Deremba- 10Th, 1874. MI Goodrich
was in his Add year, and thus in the prime
of life was cut off by that fell Destroy err, con-
sumption, with which he bad been afflicted
for about ten years. MIR. Goodrich came
to the city of Watertown nearly 20 years
ago and filled the position of foreman in the
machine shops of the Milwaukee and Ia
Crosse Railway Company in this city for
several years. About seventeen years ago
he married Miss Alzina Johnson, the
youngest daughter of the first wLite settler
of Watertown Timothy Johnson. A short
time after his marriage Mr.. Goodrich re-
moved to Milwaukee where he had charge
of the La Crosse shops. Subsequently, he
severed his connection with the Milwaukee
and La Crosse 4. R. company, and became
Foundry. Failing health compelled Mr..
Goodrich to give up business and be sought
the mild climate Of Florida in the hope CT
restoring bis shattered health. He resided
in Florida about four years, and although
his life may have been prolonged By his
stay in the state, yet no permanent cure was
effected. Last summer with his family he
came back here, intending at the openin
of our Wisconsin winter, so dreaded by
consumptives, to retura to his Florida
home, But an overruling Providence d.
rected otherwise, and when the time for
depai ture came around, the suffering in
valid found his strength 100 far gone to
make the journey. His last days on earth
were as comfortable and easy as a foud
wife's care and The watchfulness and a.ten-
ton OF kind friends could make them, and
his spirit passed away calmly ard peaceful
ly to the God who gave it. The funeral of
NJ. Goodrich took place at the residence
of Mr.. Chadwick on Wednesday morning,
Rev. John Wilkinson, of Grace church,
Madison, officiating. The remains were
.aken by the 1920 A. NJ. train to Milwaukee
for interment.

Episcopal.

1t is announced that primary meeting
of January, for the purpose of organizing
the new Episcopal diocese of Wisconsin,
comprising the northern portion of the
State. 1t is probable that at present no.
thing further will be done than to organ
ize the diocese. Bishop Welles has ex-
pressed his willingness to attend to the
duties embraced in The entire State, and
as diocesan matters, under the former plan
are all arranged up to The FIRST of June, the
election of a new Bishop will probably be
deferred until that time

Stop that Cough !!

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

Confession Of a Muraerer.

M'Nutt who, with Winner, murdered
and burned painter named SAVERS, at
Wichita, Kansas, in December last, has
confessed his crime He says Winner per-
suaded him long ago, in Kansas City, to
enter upon course of crime, and planned
the whole affair.
M'Nutt was to have his life insured for
five thousand dollars, and then kill and
burn some victim and palm off the body
for his, so that the money could be collect
ed. AT first they intended to commit th Q
crime in Kansas City, but finally concluded
to go to Wichita, thinking their escape
would be easier there. Being painters, the
men started business and soon built up
fine trade.
They were delayed, however, from car
rying out their plans for want of victim,
but Winner at last came to Kansas City
and engaged SAVERS to work for them, and
sent him down. They met him at the de-
pot on his arrival at Wichita and took him
to the shop, no one knowing anything
about it. They made him drunk, and then
gave him ether until unconscious. They
then put his face over tho fire aud burned
it until it could not be recognized, and
laid him on bed saturated with coal oil.
MNutt then cut cash in Winners arm
with pair Of sissors, and opening vein
in SAVERS arm, took out quart Of blood
and sprinkled it over Winner to make it
appear he had bled a good deal. M'Nutt
then left his vest and empty pocket book
back of the house, where it would appear
that robbers had dropped it, and took
train via Atchison, for Missouri Winner
then set fire to the building, which was
burned, and reported that he had been
robbed and M'Nutt killed and burned.

cupying tho attention Of the Senate. It is
now asserted that there is no salary
fixed by law, so that there is no constitu-
tional objection to the present body fixing
their own as we'll as future salaries.
l therefore think 1t safe to predict that a
liberal salary will be allowed, as the present
Legislature is to share the benefits of such
action.
Ten dollars a day is the amount proposed
as fair equivalent for the services Of these
solons. Whew the idea of the majority
of the men composing the Legislature being
worth that sum, when Judge Sharswood,
Asa Packer and other such men once
thought it an honor to serve in the same
capacity for $3.50 per day, If the services
of some of the men who value themselves
at $40 per day could be had at their actual
north and be disposed of at their own val
ulation, it would be good speculation. %
